All Chapters of My Flirty Roommate Is the Don: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

My heart nearly leaped out of my chest. Forcing myself to sound steady, I called out, "I... I just went to bed, Matteo. Is something wrong?"A beat of silence hit the hallway."I heard noise in your room." His tone stayed dead cold, pure authority. "Get some rest if you're fine."His footsteps slowly faded away.Losing all strength, I slid down the door and collapsed onto the floor. I gasped for air, my palms dripping with cold sweat.How is this even possible?If the floating texts were right, Matteo in real life was the ruthless mob boss controlling the whole underworld. And me? I was just a plain finance worker in thick glasses and conservative suits. We had lived together in this mansion for three months, and he always looked at me like I was invisible.But on that encrypted app just now...The glowing texts exploded in mid-air once again:[Babe! Stop doubting it! He IS 'Shadow'! What kind of magic potion did you give him over the last six months?!][That bitch Sienna is using you

"Freeze. What are you doing wandering around in the hallway this late?"His cold, heavy voice hit me out of nowhere from around the corner.I froze in my tracks, my foot stopping dead right outside my bedroom door.Matteo had just walked out of his private gym.A black towel was draped loosely around his waist. Wild, dark tattoos snaked down his sharp eight-pack, disappearing beneath the edge of the towel.Water droplets trickled down his broad, sculpted chest, glistening under the hallway light.In person, his body was ten times more intense and suffocating than in any photo.My cheeks burned like fire. Dropping my head, I tried to squeeze past him in the narrow hallway.Our bodies brushed against each other. My bare arm grazed his burning-hot skin.In an instant, an electric shock shot straight to my brain.Gasping, I jerked my head up.My eyes locked onto his deep, dangerous, pitch-black gaze. His eyes burned with raw, suppressed desire and possessive hunger—like he wanted to swallo

"Break the lease? What the hell are you talking about?!"Sienna's piercing screech exploded from my phone the second I walked into the motel bathroom. My eardrums throbbed."Nora! The elite financial executive seminar starts tonight! Only twenty spots nationwide!" Her heavy breathing rasped through the speaker. She was losing her mind. "I dropped two hundred grand just to get in! I'm giving you the privilege to sit in and take attendance for me. You should be thanking me！Now you tell me you're moving and can't take attendance for me?!"I pulled the phone away, grabbed a paper towel, and kept my voice ice-cold. "Miss Vance, our contract only covers texting. Taking your class costs extra. Besides, aren't you supposed to meet your ‘Shadow' at the Peninsula penthouse tonight at eight?"The line went dead silent for half a second. Then came her smug, nasty laugh. "Smart girl. That's right, I've got way bigger fish to fry! Screw that stupid class. Let them kick me out!"Little did she know,

I never expected to see Matteo again.That day, I was working my usual rotation at the bank counter. A long, calloused hand rested on the glass, holding an unlimited black card and a sleek ID. I looked up. Matteo was standing right on the other side.His piercing blue eyes locked onto me like a predator pinning down its prey."I need to make a transaction." His voice was low, heavy, and completely stripped of warmth.I pushed down the storm in my chest, took the card, and pulled up his records in the system.The next second, the sheer volume of his assets and cash reserves popped up on my screen. My breath hitched.In that instant, the cold, brutal reality of our two different worlds hit me hard. He was the undisputed king controlling the entire underground financial world. I was just a low-level worker living on a monthly paycheck."Done staring?"Matteo leaned forward suddenly, his breath brushing against my ear. His familiar, cold cedar scent instantly wrapped around me.His eyes we

Inside a five-star hotel suite in London, I had just put on a simple black evening dress I bought myself when the door flew open.Matteo stood at the doorway, his face expressionless. Two bodyguards stood behind him, holding an insanely luxurious garment box.He didn't say a word, but I already knew what he meant.I put down my speech notes, raising an eyebrow at him. "Knock first, Don Matteo. Basic manners.""Do we really need to be that polite with each other?" Matteo raised a hand, signaling his bodyguards to set the box down.The lid opened, revealing a dark, custom-tailored evening gown. Sharp cuts, rich fabric—it matched his suit perfectly."Custom-made for you months ago." Matteo's gaze was burning, intense, and possessive. His voice dropped low. "You are representing all of America as the main speaker tonight. Don't embarrass me."My cheeks flushed. Represent him? Since when are we a thing?The floating text was already losing its mind, flashing crazy comments to egg us on. I t
