Semua Bab HER INSECURITY, MY TEMPTATION--MAFIA : Bab 21 - Bab 30

MatveiShe flinched.Slowly, she lowered her head and sank to her knees on the cold marble floor. I sat down in the chair in front of her.Raising my pistol, I tilted the barrel gently under her chin. The cold metal touched her skin, and her shoulders instantly stiffened. Her breath hitched sharply.Slowly, I lifted her face so she had no choice but to look at me. Her eyes were wide, clouded with fear.“You got what you wanted, huh?” I murmured. My voice almost sounded calm now. Her lips trembled harder.“No—no… I’m s-sorry…” The words stumbled out of her mouth, broken by quiet sobs. Her entire body shook so badly it looked like she might faint.A dark satisfaction curled inside my chest.Power.I loved power. The kind of power that made people tremble like this. The kind that forced people to obey every command I gave. And seeing Araceli kneeling in front of me like this—covered in blood, terrified of me—fed something dark inside my ego.“Bring your fucking head down.” My voice harde

Araceli.Their blood was all over my skin, dark red streaks clinging to my arms, dripping down slowly, mixing with the water as it ran down my body.The sight made my stomach twist violently. My brain went numb.A piercing, loud sob erupted from deep inside my chest as my body began shaking vigorously, my knees suddenly losing all strength.I fell to the floor.Sonia caught me again before I could collapse completely. She held me steady as the water continued pouring over us, her hands trembling slightly as she poured shower gel onto my skin and began washing the blood off.But even as it washed away… I could still feel it.After minutes, I quieted down, my body only shivering on its own accord, small tremors running through me every few seconds like my body still hadn’t realized the danger was over.Sonia gently wore me a robe, carefully wrapping it around my shoulders before tying it. The soft fabric felt warm against my cold skin. She then led me slowly inside the bedroom, her hand

Araceli.I froze, my chest tightening as my eyes flicked toward her. She stood at the foot of the stairs, every inch of her radiating that dangerous, confident beauty that made my insecurities flare. Goosebumps rose along my arms, and I could feel my heart thudding painfully in my chest.My hands clenched at my sides, the stretch marks on my arms suddenly feeling like they were glowing under her gaze.Sonia gently squeezed my hand, trying to give me courage, but it barely reached me. My legs felt like lead, heavy and reluctant to move. Every step forward felt like walking through fire, every breath a struggle as Grace’s presence pressed down on me.“Good afternoon, Araceli,” she said, her voice silky but laced with poison. She tilted her head slightly, letting her curls fall around her face in a way that made me shrink inside myself.I lowered my gaze immediately, feeling my stomach twist as I tried to disappear into myself. My heart pounded in my chest, every beat echoing painfully i

My brain was still trying to process why he made that sound when I stopped moving.Then my eyes widened in shock.I felt something hard beneath me.Something thick and solid, like a rod, pressing firmly against me.My eyes widened further as the realization hit me.Heat rushed to my face, crawling down my neck, making my breath uneven. My fingers curled against his pants instinctively, gripping the fabric like it was the only thing keeping me steady.Matvei didn’t move.“Don’t stop moving,” he hummed, his voice low and deep, a growl vibrating through my chest. His hands tightened on my waist.“Wh-what?!” My words tumbled over themselves. “You’re hard… for me.” A strange, shivering happiness mixed with fear ran through me. Despite how I looked, he was able to feel this way—for me.A slow, knowing smile curved at the corner of his lips. “Now you finally noticed,” he murmured.My throat tightened.“I—I didn’t—” My words died in my mouth.His hand suddenly moved, sliding slightly higher o

Araceli.I nodded and stood up, quickly walking out of his office. My chest was hammering so loudly that I couldn’t even hear Sonia’s footsteps behind me.“Araceli,” Sonia called my name.But I was too deep in my head to stop for her.My legs quickened their pace, almost hopping with excitement as I entered my room. I slumped onto the bed, smiling widely at the ceiling.“Okay… someone looks extra happy now,” Sonia murmured, joining me on the bed.“And someone looks less cheerful than before,” I replied, sitting up on the bed. “Did you and Geal have another fight?”She shook her head. “We are nothing, Araceli.”I scrunched my face. “What do you mean you guys are nothing?”She stayed silent, her head bowed low. I could sense the sadness radiating from her.“Sonia… are you okay?” I whispered, shifting closer to her.“I’m… I’m fine, Araceli.” She paused, sniffing softly. “Geal and I can’t be together. He will always be my boss, and nothing more.”I gently lifted her face. Her eyes were re
