365 Days As The Mafia's Bride Chapter 8 The rules
I can't believe it. This is a contract marriage? This means that he will let me go after 365 days. "Does that mean that we will get a divorce after 365 days?" I ask and he nods, narrowing his eyes. "If you obey the rules of the contract," he mutters, and a smile creeps into my face. He twitches up his lips and tilts his head to the side. "You haven't asked what the rules are," he mutters and I shrug lightly. "Well… I'm always good at obeying rules," I grin. It's not going to be hard after all. All I have to do is call Jesse and tell him of his brother's plan. Though 365 days is a long way, with the kind of love we have for each other, he will wait for me. I'm pretty sure about that. He chuckles darkly and nods before picking up the file on the ground. He flips through the pages and shoves it in my face. "Read the terms," he mutters.I take the document and begin to read out the rules listed in the paper."You must behave like my wife in public…" I look up at him and he smirk

KAITLYN My jaws fall open, and an unsettling feeling envelopes me. "What are you doing here, Jesse?" I ask, trying so hard to stop myself from going over and hugging him. He sighs and smiles, the sadness he has been bearing reflecting on his face. "I came to get you," he declares, and my throat knots. "Huh?" I gasp. I am filled with excitement as well as worry. Things will certainly turn out sour if Nikolai steps out and finds Jesse here with me. "I'm not gonna let that bastard take away anything that belongs to me!" He snaps, and my heart constricts. Tears begin to gather up in my eyes, and I step forward, my legs wobbling in fear and desire. The desire to hold his hand and run away traps me, pushing my legs forward to take that action. "Miss Peterson, please stay back!" The maid warns, shaking her hand at me. "Come with me, darling…" Jesse stretches out his hand, his eyes pleading. "I will take you to a place that Nikolai will never be able to find you. Let's l

KAITLYN I sigh and open my eyes, staring at the ceiling with heavy eyelids. Last night, when I heard the banging of the door and opened my eyes, I realized that it wasn't my door but the one in the room next to mine. I feel heavily thankful that he didn't stay in the same room with me. Now, I feel free and alive from his owlish eyes. I wonder what today will bring forward to me. Thinking about Jesse's words has made me wish that 365 days would come by quickly. I think I know what to do to get by this easily without falling into depression. I get out of bed and look around the bed, admiring the expensive interiors of the bedroom, from the ceilings to the ground. I stare down at my dress and my lips twitch up in amusement when I discover that I am still in my cursed wedding gown. I slip on a flip-flop that I find at the foot of my bed and shuffle into the bathroom like a zombie. Damn! The scent in the bathroom can make one go crazy in admiration. It seems better to s

KAITLYN "What do you want me to do? Do you want me to kill the bastard?" She asks and I twitch my lips, narrowing my eyes in amusement. "Call Jesse and tell him to meet up at our favorite spot," I mutter and she huffs. "Is that what you want? You can call him up and meet him, besides—""Ana, just do this for me, okay?" I groan. Silence falls on the other side, and I wonder if she has ended the call. "Ana?" I raise my brows in confusion. "Why are you sounding like someone about to get killed?" She says and I sigh in frustration at her nonchalant behavior. "If you're not going to call him…""I am going to call him! Besides, I've been calling him since yesterday," she muffles. "Since yesterday?""Let's meet up and talk; I'm sure he'll come if he answers my call or sees my texts," she says, and I nod as if she can see me. "Kait, stay alive!" She warns. "I'm not dying anytime soon, dummy!" I snap, narrowing my eyes. She cackles a laugh and the line goes dead. I spin around and

NIKOLAI With my hands stuffed in my pocket and a whistle echoing in the empty hallway, I shuffle to the ward Jesse is in. I didn't bother knocking before pushing the door open. "I said that I don't want to see anyone!" He yells, his back turned to me. "Does that include me too?" I mutter, making sure that the mockery in my voice is truly heard. He turns, and his eyes widen. "What the fuck are you doing here, bastard?" He growls and I chuckle, tilting my head to the side as I stare at the bandaged leg. "I didn't tell my boys to break those bones," I smirk and he jerks up, his eyes as wide as saucers. "You… you did this?" He asks, disbelief darting across his orbs. I trudge close and slump down into a chair next to the bed. "You should have stayed away like I told you to," I mutter, and he frowns. "You sent the car that ran into mine last night?" He asks, still filled with disbelief. "You should be lucky they didn't break your bones," I say. He growls and grabs m

KAITLYN My heart is about to leap out of my body as I stare at the stranger standing beside me. My body has frozen and I can hardly bat a lash, talk more of screaming out. He reaches out and touches my shoulder, causing me to shiver. Why does his touch feel so familiar? "Who… who are you?" I finally stutter out. His hand moves to the hat on his head and he pulls it off, revealing his face. I gasp, and relief slowly swerves across my body as I stare at his never-aging face. "Philippe!" I scream excitedly, grinning widely. He smiles but I'm sure that the smile didn't reach his eyes. I peer closely at him, worry slowly seeping in. "What's going on? Aren't you supposed to be in France?" I ask and he shrugs. "I recognized you at the restaurant and decided to meet up with you privately. I didn't scare you, did I?" He asks, and I giggle slightly, pushing the nervousness aside. "I was terrified at first, but I'm relieved now," I reply, and he grins."I can't wait to catch up on al

KAITLYN His face moves closer, causing my heart to skip multiple beats. "Wha… what are you doing?" I ask, trying to stop my breath from failing. He ignores my question and grabs my chin, forcing me to look into his eyes. He tilts my head to the side and rubs his cheek against my neck, causing goosebumps to appear on my skin. I shiver and try to slip out of his grip but he holds me tight, pinning my body to the wall, his body pressed against mine. He tilts my head to the other side and runs his finger against my neck down to my collarbone. "You are not hurt, are you?" He asks, his hand still gripping my chin. I slowly nod my head, my heart tightening in fear. My throat knots when I look down at his body and realize that he is shirtless. My belly knots and my heart gives several leaps as my eyes dart to his abs and packs. Drops of water are still sprayed across his body and his hair is wet, signifying that he is just coming from the bathroom. "I am not hurt," I stammer, hopi

KAITLYN I rush down the stairs, heaving loudly. "Kait!" Ana's voice shoots through the large living room, causing a smile to break out on my face. "You are here!" I sigh in relief and take the remaining flights down, shuffling across the room to meet her at the door. "Ma'am, we tried to stop her—" "No need," I mutter, waving my hand in the air to dismiss her. "This place is freaking huge!" She gasps, squirming excitedly. I narrow my eyes and hiss loudly, throwing my head back. What is the point of living in a golden palace when there is no freedom?"Who let you in?" I ask. She flips her hair and bats her lashes seductively. "Who would dare leave a beauty standing outside," she purse her lips as she asks. I huff and lead her to a couch, forcing her down to a seat as she keeps grinning and fidgeting in excitement. "Did you meet Philippe?" I ask and slap my hand on my forehead when I remember that Ana isn't familiar with Philippe. "Oh, that guy?" Ana mutters and I raise my

KAITLYN I swerve my head around from Philippe to Nikolai, batting my lashes in confusion. Nikolai straightens up and sighs, narrowing his eyes as well. "I don't know what you are talking about," he mutters after a stretch of silence. Philippe scoffs and shakes his head. I can tell from his eyes that he doesn't believe him. To be honest, I don't believe him too. "That's a lie; if you didn't know who he is, you wouldn't have stopped and turned around!" Philippe snaps, pointing his finger at Nikolai as he fumes in anger. Nikolai scoffs in disdain, still wearing that straight, blank face that will never let you figure out what his true feelings are."Harris!" Nikolai calls and his butler rushes into the room, bowing slightly. "Take him out of this place," Nikolai mutters, clicking his fingers at Philippe. My heart sinks at the order and I gasp in dismay. I rush forward and grab Philippe's hand, glaring at the butler who is already reaching for him. "Stop! He came to see me!" I sn
