A BRIDE FOR THE MAFIA LORD The Bro's Game
Christopher:"Boss, there's something I need to tell you," I said, settling into the couch."Hmm, I'm listening," Vincenzo replied without looking up, his focus still on his laptop. It was clear I didn’t have his full attention.Before I could continue, Olivia entered. "Good morning, Mr. Volkov!" she chirped. I rolled my eyes, though she didn’t notice."Good morning, Christopher," she added."Miss Olivia," Vincenzo interjected sharply, his voice cutting through the air like a blade. "You’ll address him as Mr. Christopher. Understood?" His tone carried enough venom to make her visibly flinch."My apologies, Mr. Volkov," she stammered. "You sent for me?"He gave a curt nod, pulling up a video on his screen. Turning it toward her, he pointed. "That’s you, isn’t it? The woman on the left."His fingers tapped against the table—a menacing rhythm that everyone in the room knew all too well. It wasn’t a question. It was a warning."N-no, that’s not me," she stuttered, her lie feeble and poorl

Victoria Bella Volkov:“Murderer! Victoria is a murderer!”The chant was deafening outside the company gates. A crowd of nearly a hundred had gathered, their voices laced with venom as they threw rotten eggs at the pristine glass walls of the building. From my office window, I watched as chaos unfolded below. The anger on their faces and the cruelty in their voices made my chest tighten.Ashley walked into my office, closing the door softly behind her, though her face betrayed the weight of the news she was about to share.“Boss…” she hesitated, then continued, “Videos of you pushing Mrs Washington are all over the internet. They’re calling you a murderer.”“They’re demanding answers. Some are even calling for you to step down as the managing Director,” Ashley added, her voice faltering as the noise outside grew louder.Before I could respond, the door to my office burst open. Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle Jacob stormed in, their expressions cold and unforgiving.“I knew it!” Aunt Elizabet

Vincenzo Dante Volkov:“Mr. Volkov,” The psychologist doctor began, his tone carefully measured, “your wife is experiencing a severe psychological response to trauma. It’s beyond normal grief or guilt—it’s manifesting as trauma-induced psychosis.”“What the hell does that mean?” I barked, gripping the edge of the desk. “She’s seeing things! Hearing voices! Is this permanent?”The doctor exhaled deeply, choosing his words carefully. “It’s not necessarily permanent, but it’s serious. Her mind is struggling to process what she’s been through. The crying, the hallucinations, the obsessive behavior—it’s her brain’s way of coping with overwhelming guilt and stress. And, Mr. Volkov… there’s something else.”I froze, my breath hitching. “What else?”“She’s pregnant,” the doctor said gently. “Roughly six weeks along.”My world tilted. I leaned back, my hand gripping the chair for balance. “Pregnant?” I echoed, my voice a whisper.“Yes,” he confirmed. “This changes things. Her body is under imm

Vincenzo Dante Volkov:I parked outside the shopping mall, waiting for Jacob. He wasn’t just any random guy—he was my first "guest." The kind of guest who didn’t know he had an appointment.When he walked out of the mall, arms full of groceries, I stepped out and strolled up to him.“Jacob! Hey, man!” I called, grinning like we were old friends.He stopped, confused. “Do I know you?”I shrugged, lifting my shirt just enough to show the piece tucked at my waist. “You do now. Let’s take a walk, yeah? My car’s right over there. Here’s how it goes: you yell, someone puts you down. You run, same thing. Clear?”Jacob froze, his eyes darting around before nodding.“Good. Come on, buddy. This way.” I gripped his shoulder, guiding him to my car. I opened the door, gesturing for him to slide in, then shut it behind him like I was his chauffeur.By the time I got behind the wheel, Jacob was already sweating bullets.“Relax,” I said, turning on some music to fill the silence. “Let’s chat. Just tw

Christopher:I stood beside Bishop, guiding him on what to add and what to cut. If I was right, the boss would be gone in two days."We're all set," Bishop said, sending the audio and a detailed report to multiple media outlets and hotlines."Nice caption," he added, sliding the computer closer to me.“Mm. Now this is a good headline to catch attention!” I said and he nodded, forwarding the headline and writing things to the boss.*Adopted brother admits to murdering his sibling and wife, only for their long-lost child to return after twenty-four years and accuse her of the crime!*My phone buzzed, and I saw a message from Juliet. After everything that happened that night, she had insisted I talk to the boss, but I still hadn’t had the chance.Maybe I should try to fix things before heading home.“Bishop…” I called, and he turned to face me.“Yeah? Something you need me to do?”“Recheck the boss’s camera footage… the one from the warehouse, and maybe the estate too,” I said. He raised
Last Updated : 2024-12-25A BRIDE FOR THE MAFIA LORD I'm happy you're talking again
Victoria Bella Volkov:I didn't want to speak anymore. The thought that something—someone—was growing inside me, living in my stomach, was enough to send a shock through my system. Was I really going to be a mother?“Hey, baby... Want to see the news? They’re saying something interesting…” Vincenzo said. I nodded, even though I didn’t expect anything new or important from Russian news.“Are the Arlington family really this twisted?” The news anchor’s voice rang out. The woman next to him chuckled.“It's a mess... First, they blame an innocent girl for murder, and now this? What’s going on?” she said, shaking her head.I glanced at Vincenzo. This had to be his doing. I was sure of it.“And now, a video of Mrs. Washington and Mrs. Elizabeth has surfaced online... It’s time for the world to apologize to Victoria.”“Yeah... She’s been through so much. Losing her parents, then having the nanny family take her in, only to treat her like dirt, all while taking her inheritance... It’s crazy w

Victoria Bella VolkovAfter releasing the video of what happened between me and Marianne, the whole internet started talking. Finally, I wasn’t seen as a psychopathic murderer but as a victim of their selfish manipulation and greed.I had told Vincenzo that we wouldn’t be traveling. I needed to face them head-on. I was standing in the Arlington family house when the policemen cruelly dragged Elizabeth and Jacob out of the house.Grandpa was so shocked—I could see the pain of betrayal in his eyes. One of the worst nightmares of a parent is hearing or seeing that one of their children has caused the downfall of another.The tragic event had already occurred, and there was no reversing it.“Grandpa... are you okay?” I asked. He shook his head, as if words had left his mind.I know that feeling—it crawls into one’s spirit and breaks it.“Father!... I’m sorry!” Uncle Jacob shouted, but Father turned his back and walked into the house.As for Aunt Elizabeth, she didn’t say a word. She just

Luciano Brown:“I Should back down?” I raised an eyebrow, and Christopher nodded, pouring me a glass of whiskey.“There’s no need for this, Luciano. Can’t you see?!” he said, as though I were the bad person here.“One week isn’t over,” I replied, leaning back in my chair. “So I’d suggest you rest. But let me make something clear—I’m not your friend anymore. I’d kill you if I had to. Tell me, why are you siding with a bully? A madman. Someone who knows nothing but taking what doesn’t belong to him—people’s property, the De Stefano brothers… name it!” I said, standing and moving to the window.“He got whatever he has with the right authority. Vincenzo is not an evil person. Is that why you brought Olivia? Knowing full well she looks like his dead sister!?”“Olivia… Olivia,” I muttered, a smirk spreading across my face. “They bear the same name, don’t they? It’s surprising he’s not falling into my trap because of that.”“So now, he’s on a trip to Dubai. And here you are,” I said, watchin

A BRIDE FOR THE MAFIA LORD Epilogue
Vincenzo Dante Volkov:“Alright… You can do it!” This was me encouraging my wife in the hospital bed.In the blink of an eye, a few months had already passed, and we were doing really great—absolutely great.Victoria was in the labor room, and although I wasn't the doctor helping her give birth, I was still there. I wasn’t going to leave her.“Push!!”“Ahhh!!”It was a long night. Victoria had been in labor for hours, and I could see the exhaustion on her face. Sweat slicked her forehead, and her grip on my hand tightened with each contraction."Easy... easy..." I whispered, trying to keep her calm, but she wasn’t hearing it. She was too focused on the pain."Push!" the nurse said, her voice sharp and clear. Victoria squeezed her eyes shut, letting out a loud cry of frustration."Push! You’ve got this, Victoria," I said, doing my best to be encouraging. She glared at me between breaths."Yeah, right. You’re the one who put me in this position!" she shot back, her voice strained. I kne
A BRIDE FOR THE MAFIA LORD take me to heaven
Victoria Bella Volkov:A family celebration was happening today. I was in my room, feeling nauseous.My baby was five months along now, and this had to be the best experience of my life. Having a doctor for a husband was a unique kind of blessing. Vincenzo handled my check-ups, prescribed medications, made sure I had a good day, and constantly reminded me to eat fruits, especially those rich in vitamin C.Juliet and Christopher had come over for the family celebration.What was the celebration about again? Oh, right. It was for Vincenzo—him officially reuniting with the family.Don Nikolai was returning today too, and the house was bustling. Everyone seemed busy with something. I stayed in the room with Juliet.“So... we went for a scan, and guess what? We’re having twins!” she announced, her eyes sparkling.“Oh my God, Juliet! Twins? That’s beautiful! I can’t believe it! I envy you so much!” I pulled her into a warm hug.“I’m going to miss you, Juliet. I can’t believe you and Christo
A BRIDE FOR THE MAFIA LORD Smack the hell Out Of him
Vincenzo Dante Volkov:“Mum, I want everyone to stay put. I’ve spoken with Victoria, and it seems like something is wrong.”“I found out where she is. She’s in a deserted warehouse, not too far from here—probably about a 40-minute drive.”“Yeah, that’s the same place you mentioned. I feel like she’s being held captive, and I’d bet 100 bucks it’s that stupid Luciano.”“All right, Dante. Be careful, okay…” my mother said, pulling me into a hug.“I’m going with you,” Cassandra said, but I shook my head.“No, I need to go alone.”“No, I’m not allowing that,” she said firmly. “I’m saying this as the Don’s wife. Let’s go!”The drive to this place was nerve-wracking. My guns were ready. Cassandra didn’t like the idea of going alone, so she insisted on coming with me.The plan was simple: she’d stay inside. If anything went wrong, she was to come out.As soon as I arrived, the darkness and silence of the place hit me. I knew my wife wouldn't willingly stay here. Hell, even if she weren’t my
A BRIDE FOR THE MAFIA LORD The Call
Vincenzo Dante Volkov:"Alright… to the left!" I instructed the construction team.The new project was underway—a major road for a remote village. We were so far from the city, and the heat was unbearable. Even the AC in the car couldn't cool me down."At this point, I want a sign that says 'Slow Down,'" I added, knowing the road would lead to a dusty area. Accidents were common here, so a warning was necessary."Boss, you should take a break and have lunch. It's past time, and we're almost done for the day," Evelyn suggested. I nodded, checking my wristwatch.It had been a while, and Little Mouse still hadn’t answered her phone. I dialed again, but the call wouldn’t go through. I figured it was a network issue and decided not to try again."Instant noodles?" I raised an eyebrow as Evelyn placed them on the table."Finding real food here is impossible, boss. I don’t know why we’re even here. You should have let the Construction Manager handle this. It's so hot... there isn’t a single
A BRIDE FOR THE MAFIA LORD The Deal With Luciano
Victoria Bella Volkov:“Tiger, are you going to drive me to the supermarket?” I asked, trying to hide the disappointment in my voice as I noticed the tension in his expression.He shook his head. “No, I'm already running late. Why don’t you go with one of the guards, hmm? Just... don’t leave without security.”I pouted a little but nodded. “Fine. Can’t believe you're not taking me. But I’ll manage. I’ll leave now...”“I’m sorry, babe. I really wish I could, but this meeting... I’m already ten minutes behind. Please, just be careful,” he said, kissing my forehead before I turned to go.I stepped outside, the air crisp as I headed to the supermarket. It wasn’t far from the estate, just a quick errand for some fruit. It wasn’t like we didn’t have fruit at home, but I craved something different.As I walked through the aisles, my phone buzzed in my pocket. A text from Vincenzo.I love you, baby...I smiled, my heart warming, but the calm was short-lived.A sound. A shift in the air, like
A BRIDE FOR THE MAFIA LORD The Baby Kick
Victoria Bella Volkov:I was in the same room with Cassandra, and she was helping me with a soft back massage.“You do this so well…”“Yeah… Nikolai taught me.”“You know, I…” I said, sitting up. “I saw a lot of headlines about you. The D’Angelo daughter.” I said, and she looked at Sharon, requesting she leave the room.“Hmm. I'm sorry I had to ask her to leave. This is a sensitive topic for me. As you know, I was abused by people I thought were family. I lost my first baby…” Tears started to well up in her eyes.“I didn’t even know I was pregnant. It’s crazy because it was my adopted brother’s child, and he…”“Hey, I’m sorry I brought that up,” I said, gently. “Me too. I was abused. My adopted sister, Marianne, stole the trash of a boyfriend, and you know…”“Yeah… Vincenzo told us what happened. I’m sorry… it happened to you!” She said, going to wash her hands.“It’s okay… It’s not your fault. I’m healing.”“And I’m healed,” she added, and we both laughed at that.My phone buzzed, an
A BRIDE FOR THE MAFIA LORD Love costumes.
Victoria Bella Volkov:“Why would you say that?” I asked, chasing after Vincenzo to the bathroom.“Honey…I can't, okay…”“Please… Please, for me…” I pouted my lips, and he groaned in annoyance.“Little Mouse, I'm doing this for love. Come on… How on earth do you expect me to wear a donkey cosplay?” He pointed at the package I had ordered from Amazon.“Oh yeah… You won’t do it for your pregnant wife!?” I looked away, and he pulled me into a hug.“You seem to forget that if I could get the world for you, I would. I’ll wear it, okay?” He kissed my forehead, and I blushed.Quickly, I left the bathroom and put on my own cosplay.I was cosplaying Beetlejuice. I did a quick makeup job, and when I was done, he was also out of the bathroom.The way he looked at me, I was sure he was tired of me.“Twin… Where have you been??” I bit my lip, crawling toward him slowly.“What in the world of cosplay is this?” He asked as I reached for his towel.“You don’t think I’m pretty?”“You’re pretty… Yeah…
A BRIDE FOR THE MAFIA LORD The Ruthless Gentleman
Vincenzo Dante Volkov:Nothing on this planet could have prepared me for the changes in my wife's behavior or her frequent eating habits. Our beautiful journey together has been nothing short of amazing.My mother does everything she can to ensure my wife is well, and with Cassandra's help, we’ve been making slow but steady progress.At the moment, I was in my office, having resumed work today. The place had been quiet, and everything seemed to be running smoothly.“Boss,” Evelyn knocked on the door before stepping inside. “She's here. Should I send her in?”“Yes, definitely,” I replied, and she nodded before leaving.A few minutes later, a middle-aged woman in red walked in. She had a familiar face—I recognized her, though I doubted if she recognized me.“Mr. Vincenzo, how nice to meet you,” she said, taking a seat across from me.“The pleasure is all mine. So, you requested to see me?”“Yes, erm... I sent you a proposal, but I didn’t receive a response. Was it because it wasn’t sati
A BRIDE FOR THE MAFIA LORD Back Home
Victoria Bella VolkovThe past two weeks had been a whirlwind of activity. Vincenzo and I worked tirelessly to ensure the children found better homes. Some were taken in by foster families, while others were reunited with their biological parents. A few had no place to go, but we made sure they were safe.Luciano, however, was still missing. He had vanished without a trace. Vincenzo had gone after him, but it turned out to be a trap, leaving us no closer to finding him.For now, though, people seemed pleased with our efforts. The children’s welfare was a small victory in a sea of chaos. Christopher, on the other hand, hadn’t returned to work yet. His betrayal still lingered like a shadow between us.Once trust is broken, it’s never the same again. Still, Christopher remained close to Vincenzo. Perhaps loyalty, even fractured, is hard to sever entirely.Abigail, Grace, and the other girls were taken to a secure location. Many of them were fortunate to reunite with their families, and w
