All Chapters of HER INSECURITY, MY TEMPTATION--MAFIA : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Araceli.I looked up and saw Matvei standing in the doorframe. His eyes were filled with rage, fixed on Gael and me—especially on my arms, which were still wrapped around Gael’s neck.I pulled my arms back in fear, heat prickling down my skin. Gael stood up and moved toward him. My heart was pounding so fast I could hear it out loud. What if he killed Gael for being so close to me?“Aye, I just came to give her coffee,” Gael said, standing straight and playfully raising his hands in defense.“Kofe, i ty, blyat', sidish' tak blizko k ney,” Matvei sneered as he stepped closer and threw a punch at Gael’s arm.Coffee, and you are fucking sitting that close to her.I yelped immediately, my fingers shaking. I didn’t understand what Matvei had said in Russian. What if he had just said he would beat him to death? They both spared me a brief, curious glance, probably because of the sound I made. Someone outside might think I was the one who got punched.“There’s no harm in that, especially whe

Araceli“No, you can’t, Dolly.” He chuckled. “You are Matvei’s wife. That means you are his enemies’ main target.”My body shivered slightly as fear slowly engulfed me. “Are his enemies as dangerous as him?!”“No. But they are very ruthless.” He paused. “Everyone is scared of Matvei. That’s why now that he is married, they would see you as a good pawn to bring Matvei down to his knees.”“I don’t think he would agree to go down on his knees for me,” I whispered, rubbing my arm slightly as the image of Naiara’s blood-soaked upper body flashed in my brain.“I think he would. He really does care about you,” he said flatly.“He doesn’t care about me.” I scoffed. “He almost killed my step-sister in front of me just because of something silly she said.”“Hm.” He hummed thoughtfully. “It wasn’t something silly before that. I’m very sure you were mad at him because of that.”I cleared my throat and scratched my elbow. “How did you know I was mad at him?”“Because he only reacted that way to p

MatveiPower and dominance were what I thrived on. Watching people—especially her—lose control under my touch was something I enjoyed far more than I should have admitted.My chest tightened as I watched Araceli run out of the room.That was when I knew I had gone too far. Said more than she could emotionally handle.Foolish Geal stood quickly. “Chert vozmi. Matvey, chto ty yey skazal?!” (Fuck. Matvei, what did you say to her?!)“If you don’t shut up, I’ll cut off your dick and feed it to her,” I sneered, pointing at Sonia. Her head was still lowered, but I didn’t care why. That wasn’t my concern.Geal shook his head before storming out of the room. Sonia followed immediately.I rolled my eyes and walked out after them.Araceli was nowhere.Geal and Sonia stood beside me, both clearly confused. The silence between us was thick, heavy with something close to fear. It settled under my skin like a bad omen.I pulled my phone from my pocket and dialed the guards stationed around the buil

Araceli.“I want to have that too.” I smiled, my eyes glinting at her.Her lips tugged into a smile. “Are you sure?”“Yes, I am,” I answered too quickly. “I just want to experience different things, Sonia.”“I would have let you link up with a friend of mine,” she said, pausing. “But I don’t think Matvei would take that lightly.”I frowned, rolling my eyes at the mention of his name. “He gets to be with different women, and I get to be with nobody?”“Araceli, I don’t think you understand who you’re married to.” She stared at me. “He would cut off the head of any man who even thinks about being with you.”My eyes closed as I grunted and leaned back against the car seat. The image of the day he actually killed the gardener in my presence flashed through my mind. I shivered and opened my eyes again.Sonia was still staring at me.“I think you should explore that experience with Matvei,” she said with a small smile.“Uh… no.” I shook my head in refusal. I knew my body craved him—craved hi

Araceli.My body shivered with fear, my stomach churning violently. The borrowed courage I had just moments ago vanished completely. I had forgotten that this man was dangerous.And he could do far worse to me.I could no longer hold back the tears burning in my eyes. They spilled down my cheeks.He turned and walked out of the room without another word.The moment the door closed, I dropped to the floor, staring up at the ceiling as the tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.My body shook with every breath.I didn’t even know what I was feeling anymore.Was it the pain of him letting go of me?Or the humiliation of him asking what I was doing, when he had kissed me back like he wanted it just as much?He always did this.Every time.He would touch me, kiss me, pull me close… and then suddenly stop, acting surprised—as if I had forced him into it.As if I had somehow controlled him.As if he had never wanted me in the first place.***Hours later, my eyes felt heavy as I slowly o
