The Crazy Bos 21

I had been married to Alexander for three years. Everyone feared his ruthlessness, but he had always been incredibly gentle with me. But ever since Elena took a bullet for him during a shootout six months ago, everything changed. He always said she got hurt saving him, so I had to be accommodating. At the family’s most prestigious gala, my husband—the Don, Alexander—arrived with his secretary, Elena, on his arm. Pinned to her chest was the ruby brooch that symbolized the position of the Donna of the family. "Elena took a bullet for me. She liked the brooch, so I let her borrow it for a while. Regardless, you are the only donna here. Try to show some class." I didn't argue with him. I just removed my wedding ring and pulled out the divorce papers: "Since she likes it so much, she can have it. Including this seat next to you. I'm giving that up, too." Alexander signed without hesitation, a cold smile on his face. "What kind of manipulative trick are you playing now? You're an orphan, separated from your family, you won't survive three days in Sicily. I'll wait for you to come back begging me." I took out an encrypted satellite phone I hadn't used in three years. Alexander didn't know that I was actually the youngest daughter of the oldest Mafia family in Europe. But my family and Alexander’s had always been enemies. To marry him, I had changed my name and even severed ties with my father and brothers. The call connected. I took a deep breath and whispered, "Papa, I regret it. Send someone to pick me up in two weeks."

His hands slid up my thighs, in a slow and deliberate manner, and my breath hitched. “What if…” I gasped as his fingers tightened possessively. “What if my mother finds out?” He didn’t answer with words. Instead, he captured my lips in a searing kiss that swallowed my protests and set my entire body aflame. His mouth moved against mine with a hunger that said he didn’t care about consequences, didn’t care about anything except this….except us. When he finally pulled back, his eyes were dark with desire, his voice a low rumble against my skin. “Then let her.” ~~~ When fate deals the cruelest hand, desire doesn’t play fair Belle Westwood never expected her fresh start to come with a mate bond—especially not to the one man she absolutely cannot have. He’s powerful, commanding, and everything her wolf craves. He’s also her mother’s husband. One stolen kiss changes everything. Now, caught between duty and an attraction that threatens to consume them both, Belle must decide walk away from her fated mate, or risk destroying everyone she loves for a chance at the one thing she’s never had—true love. But when her past comes back to haunt her and enemies close in, Belle realizes that sometimes the most dangerous thing isn’t the secret you’re keeping… it’s the one you can’t resist.

That night, Liam served me my usual evening tea. I trusted him completely—he was my mate, after all, and a respected healer of Thornpack. I shouldn't have. When I woke up the next morning, my head was spinning. The special safe where I kept the morphing inhibitor—the one I'd spent my entire savings to import from Europe for our daughter Isla—was empty. Racing to the healing center, I found Liam celebrating. He was handing out moon-blessed wine, beaming with pride as Natalie's daughter Anna showed off her perfect transformation. My inhibitor had been used on his first love's pup instead of our own daughter. The shock triggered something in my brain. When I collapsed, they diagnosed me with the rare tumor that plagued our kind. Without inhibitors, I couldn't stop Isla's transformation that came early, her six year old body couldn't handle the massive wolf form and the force ripped through her young body. And I, for one, don't even have enough money to keep her in a treatment center. She died in my arms three days later, her little claws drawing blood as the pain overwhelmed her. Until her last breath, she kept asking why Papa hadn't come. Now, in my cold, empty home, with the white porcelain urn containing her ashes on the table, I touch her and decide to sever our partnership.

My family is the oldest healing bloodline in the Frostmoon Pack, and I am the most promising talent to become the pack's Chief Healer. My destined mate, who promised to mark me on my 20th birthday, instead chose my stepsister Eliza on the very day that was meant to be mine. Then Alaric Blackwood, the legendarily powerful and cold Alpha of the Blackwood pack, openly pursued me after I was abandoned. For five years after becoming his mate, he treated me with tender care and bone-deep devotion. He told me not to work so hard as a healer and to focus on being his Luna. Until I accidentally overheard a conversation between him and his loyal Beta. "Alpha, Eliza has already become Chief Healer. How long will you continue pretending to love Amara?" "It doesn't matter since I can't be Eliza's mate anyway. Besides, as long as I'm with Amara, she won't interfere with Eliza's happiness." Every night, he prayed to the Moon Goddess, and every word was filled with longing and love for Eliza. "May the Moon Goddess bless Eliza. May she find peace in body and spirit." "May the Moon Goddess grant Eliza all she desires, and protect all that she loves." ... "Eliza, we're not destined for each other in this life. I only pray we become fated mates in the next." Only then did I realize that my mate—his body belonged to me, but his heart belonged deeply to my stepsister. I've prepared a fake identity and planned a staged death at the hands of rogue wolves. From now on, we will never meet again, in this life or any other.

Studying abroad can be incredibly lonely at times. That night, I was in my room, indulging in a little treat for myself, when my best friend suddenly burst through the door. "Doing it yourself is no fun. Come on. There's a super cool cabaret show going on. Let's go see it together!" On stage, my friend was reclining in a chair behind the curtain, with two strong-looking men on top of her. "Come on. Join us for a group dance..."

Lucas memutuskan berhenti menjadi Raja Mafia karena kesehatan sang ibu yang memburuk. Namun, saat kehidupan sedang berjalan normal, dia harus menarik bos cantik di tempatnya bekerja ke dalam pelukan, yang membuatnya terpaksa kembali menjadi Raja Mafia.

Begitu aku hamil, aku dielu-elukan sebagai perempuan paling berharga di dunia mafia. Suamiku, kepala keluarga baru Keluarga Jasman, sampai menutup satu area rumah sakit swasta khusus untuk pemeriksaan kehamilanku. Sementara ayahku, Chandra, memanggil semua koki berbintang Michelin di Kota Nordi ke kediaman keluarga, hanya agar aku bisa makan apa pun yang kuinginkan. Bayi yang kukandung ditakdirkan menjadi satu-satunya pewaris dari dua keluarga mafia paling berkuasa. Namun, pada hari ketika kami seharusnya menandatangani dokumen yang menjamin warisan anakku, mereka berdua menghilang. "Ada urusan keluarga mendesak," kata suamiku, Desta, sambil mengecup keningku. "Kita bisa selesaikan urusan warisan anak ini setelah kita kembali. Nggak perlu terburu-buru." Tak lama setelah mereka pergi, aku menerima sebuah tautan menuju siaran langsung anonim. Suara ayahku terdengar dari video itu, dingin, lebih dingin dari yang pernah kudengar sebelumnya. "Jadi kamu bilang kontrak pernikahanmu dengan Eva nggak pernah sah. Bukankah itu berarti anak itu adalah anak haram?" Vincent tampak bersantai di sebuah klub, mengembuskan cincin asap rokok. Dalam pelukannya ada saudari tiriku, Sarah. "Eva selalu mendapatkan cinta dan perhatian," ujarnya santai. "Anaknya nggak akan kekurangan apa pun." "Sarah sudah bertahun-tahun diejek karena statusnya. Aku harus memperbaiki semuanya untuknya, memberinya keadilan, memberi anak kami nama yang sah." Saat itu juga, dadaku terasa diremas. Napasku tersengal, nyaris tak bisa bernapas. Kemudian, ponselku bergetar lagi. Sebuah pesan masuk. [ Selamat datang kembali di Keluarga Gandara, ratuku. ] [ Sebut saja satu kata dan anak yang kamu kandung akan menyandang nama Keluarga Gandara serta menjadi pewaris paling berkuasa di dunia mafia Amira. ]
