Ch5: He wanted to shelter her
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"Those people... They killed her... And took my dad and brother away. They will kill them too!" Natalie replied as she trembled.
It was then that Ivan began understanding the whole thing. "You mean..." He stopped talking midway and pulled her into his arms. Saying it out loud hurt him too.He could not resist it anymore. He did not want to see her like that. And it hurt him too to understand all that had happened to her!"Can you let me go now?" The girl asked after some time. "I have to be there for them..." She wanted to go and find her family at all costs.But the man said nothing, which worried her. What if he completely refused to let her go?After all, he was not someone she knew. She even thought that she was crazy to tell him all that.Who said that he was not the enemy just because he had said it? Maybe he was pretending so that he could get what he wanted!"Sir?" She called, her voice so hoarse. She wanted to hear him say something.Ivan felt a wave of protectiveness wash over him. He had only just met her, but he felt an overwhelming urge to shelter her and keep her safe."Where is your mom's body now?" He asked. He knew that the question was harsh, but he wanted to understand the situation better so that he could help her.Natalie shook her head. "I do not know... They took her with them!"Ivan took in a deep breath, holding her tightly. He just wanted to hug her like that, and he almost forgot that she was the first person, a grown up, that he had ever hugged like that."The person after you... Do you know him?" He asked. And she shook her head continuously. She did not have any idea whoever he was!There was silence between them for a few more seconds. Then he rubbed her back gently. "I want you to be strong for now, Natalie. Can you do that?" He asked.Natalie hesitated for some seconds before she nodded. "But...""I know it is hard, but you need to trust me. I can't risk your safety by taking you out there. But I promise you, I will do everything in my power to keep you safe and make sure your family is okay," he said, hoping to reassure her.Natalie wanted to say something, but he shook his head at her. "I will find where they are, and make sure that they are fine. I will also find your mom's body... Can you trust me in this?"Natalie looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears. "Please Sir, you have to help me. I do not know what to do," she pleaded.Even though she felt like she wanted to find them herself, she knew that she still needed someone to help her. Maybe this man would?Ivan felt a pang of guilt. He knew he could not just leave her there alone, but he also could not risk her safety by taking her out there. He had to find a way to keep her safe while also making sure her family was okay."I promise you, Natalie, I will do everything I can to help you. But you have to trust me and stay here for now. It is not safe out there," he said, hoping to convince her.Natalie nodded, tears still streaming down her face. "Okay Sir, I will stay here. But please, please find out if my family is okay," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Ivan nodded, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders. He knew that he could not just let her go, but he also knew that he could not leave her in distress."I will do everything I can, Natalie. I promise," he said, putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder.Natalie looked up at him, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Thank you, sir. You are a good man," she said, her voice trembling.Ivan felt a rush of warmth in his chest. He had never been called a good man before, but he knew that he was doing the right thing.As far as he could remember, he was always the bad one. He was always the inhuman one.And he only managed to live well because he was powerful, because no one could match up with him.Other women would crawl up at him, trying to praise him. But he knew all along that they did that because of the things that he had, because of his power.However, that sounded very different when it came from her. It felt real, not forced, and genuine. And he could not help but hug her even tighter.He loved her warmth and her scent. And he almost did not want to let go.It was only when she patted his back that he came to his senses. And he released her immediately.'Ivan! Are you okay? She wants your help for now!' he could not help but admonish himself."I will be back soon, Natalie. In the meantime, try to get some rest," he said, standing up and heading towards the door.Natalie nodded, wiping away her tears. "Okay Sir, I will try," she said, watching as he closed the door behind him.She could feel loneliness crawl into her heart once again. When he left, she felt like her heart was hollow.She wished she was able to call him back, but she just could not. She had to wait and see if he could help her.Ivan walked out of the room, his mind racing. He knew that he had to find out if Natalie's family was okay, but he also knew that he could not just take her out there. No! Not when he was not sure of what was happening!He had to come up with a plan that would keep her safe while also making sure her family was okay.And first, he had to find out exactly what had happened, what the enemy wanted from the girl's family and where they had taken her mom's body.He took out his phone and called his assistant. "Trevor, find out what happened to the Shine family of City B and report back as soon as possible."Related chapters

Ivan sat on his couch, his eyes closed as he tried to process everything that had happened in the past few hours.When he received a call yesterday that Natalie was in danger, he did not even think twice. In fact, he had not even questioned what was happening to her.He had rushed all the way to rescue her. That was his first thought. And he only realized that once he had driven her to his compound.This one woman was the girl he met that year, five years ago. And she had brought a great change in his life, making him a dad, even though she herself was not aware that she was a mother.Things had happened so fast after then. The next thing he knew, he had a child who was motherless.He did not know what happened to her after that night at the hospital. She had disappeared for a while before she appeared again a few months later.He had seen her several times, but she had appeared normal, like there wasn't any change in her life. That was one thing that had disturbed him a lot.He had ma
An affair with the Mafia Boss Ch7: More betrayal
For a long time, Ivan had been wondering how to face Natalie and tell her about everything that he had found out. He did not know how to put it. He was more confused. Five years ago, when he slept with her, he had dug a bit into her. But he had never found out anything about this Luca.And he was confused. Did that mean that she really knew nothing about having a child, or did not remember him at all? Was that even possible?He sighed. He still knew that he needed to know what she thought before taking any action. With a sigh, he went to see her.As he approached her room, his heart raced with anticipation, and his mind was filled with a hundred questions.He could not understand how Natalie's fiancee could do something like that to her. She was just a nice and frail girl who needed protection.He knocked on the door, and Natalie opened it, looking weary and sad. Ivan noticed that her eyes were red, and her cheeks were damp. She was crying again."Hey, Sir," she said, her voice shaky
An affair with the Mafia Boss Ch8: Daddy, do you like hugging big sister?
Ivan wrapped his arms around Natalie, holding her tightly as she cried softly on his chest. He could feel her body shaking with sobs, and he knew she needed this. She had been through so much in the past few days, and he wanted to be there for her. She needed someone to comfort her.But just as he was about to pull away, he heard the sound of tiny feet running towards the room. Ivan turned his head towards the door and saw his four-year-old son, Carter, come rushing in.The little boy stopped in his tracks when he saw his dad hugging a woman. He covered his eyes with his hands immediately."Daddy?" He called, his voice a bit surprised. "Do you like hugging big sister?" He asked. He had never seen his daddy hug a woman before.They both turned to look at him, and their faces slightly blushed. Ivan was not sure what he was supposed to say.Just then, other footsteps were heard rushing to the door and Auntie Bella's voice followed. "Carter! Come over here... You should not be running aro

Natalie spent a long time with Carter, feeling a strong connection with the young boy. To distract themselves from everything going on, they played a game on Carter's phone.As they played, Carter looked up at Natalie with a curious expression. "Big Sister, what is your name?" he asked.He was wondering who that big sister that was so sweet to the point that his dad would hug her was.Natalie smiled, "I am sorry, I did not introduce myself earlier. My name is Natalie, but you can call me Natie."Carter nodded, "You have a pretty name, big sister..." he said, looking up at her with admiration.Natalie chuckled at the young boy's innocent compliment. "Thank you, Carter. Your name is also very nice!"The joy that the boy had was written all over his face. "Big Sister, would you stay here with us forever?" He asked eagerly, his eyes filled with longing.Natalie was taken aback by the question, thinking it was a joke. "Would you really want me to stay here forever?" she asked.Carter's face

Logan sat in his office sipping a cup of coffee. He lifted his head to look at his assistant who walked in and locked the door behind him."Any news about her?" He asked, a cold look on his face.The assistant shook his head with a sigh. "No news! She seems to have disappeared into the thin air. We have been looking everywhere, but we cannot find her."Logan appeared to be thinking for a while. "I did not expect her to be that clever..." He said.He could not explain how he lost her. He should have been a bit more careful. After he lost her that day and failed to find her, he had just assumed it and gone back to his businesses. He thought that she would come begging him and his son for help after capturing her dad and brother.After all, she did not know that it was him doing all that. Then, he would have used that chance to ask for that thing from her.But a day had gone by like that, and no matter how he looked for her, he could not find her."We have to keep searching," Logan said.
An affair with the Mafia Boss Ch11: He had to get it
Was that how much he had been exposed? He had done so many other things but no one had pointed them back to him.But... Did Ivan and Natalie know each other? Why was he here to talk about her?"I don't know what you are talking about," Logan stammered, trying to deny everything. He could not accept it that easily."Don't lie to me, Logan. I know the truth," Ivan said, his voice rising. "Getting details about you and everything you have been doing did not take me an hour..."Logan trembled more. That meant that the man knew everything that he had done. His lips moved, but he was not sure about what he was supposed to say."I know the underworld rules well enough. So, I will not do anything about what you have done already. But you have to be careful with whom you want to offend. Do not try me!"Yes, being the king of the underworld , there were some things and rules he respected. Things that the man had done before would be useless to intervene. But he was going to make sure he helped
An affair with the Mafia Boss Ch12: Don
Auntie Bella brought Natalie dinner when it was ready. Even though she did not know who she was and why she was there, she had worked for Ivan long enough and knew not to ask a lot.She just needed to do her work and let him handle his own things.But she had some suspicions in her heart. From the time she could remember, she had never seen her boss, Ivan, pay attention to any lady. This girl here was the first one.And to even think that he willingly left Carter in her hands... Who exactly was she? And why was she even in that house?"Thank you, Auntie Bella," Natalie said appreciatively when she was handed the plate of food.After playing with Carter for some time, she had gotten some appetite. And she thought that she even felt hungry for the first time in hours."You are welcome my dear," Auntie Sam replied with a smile and looked at Carter. "Come on dear. It is time for you to have dinner too..."However, the next moment, the kid was already shaking his head. "No..."Auntie Bella
An affair with the Mafia Boss Ch13: They were cuddled up
It had been a long day for Ivan, and all he could think about was getting home and spending some time with his son, Carter. As he unlocked the door to his apartment, he was surprised to find Auntie Bella, the nanny, waiting for him.He hesitated for some seconds before lifting his head to look at her. He had not expected to run into her at such a time."It is late, Auntie Bella. What are you still doing here? Why didn't you sleep?" Ivan asked.He understood that Bella was doing quite a lot of work. It would be good if she took enough rest."I wanted to make sure that Carter was okay. He refused to leave that room," Auntie Bella said. "He said that he is sleeping in Natalie's room tonight."Ivan turned to look at the door of the house opposite where he was. And his eyes lingered there for a while."She seems to be a great lady," Auntie Bella continued speaking, a certain spark in her eyes. "She looks quite innocent."Ivan's expression changed at the mention of that. Right now, he thoug

It was June and her accomplices!“Five years ago, Black really did have intentions of killing Ivan and the whole of his family. But his first aim was Ivan, and that was the reason why he sent Natalie to kill him. His family, back in the country, were out for a night. Black was prepared to attack, because Ivan was away and he would not be there to protect them. But an hour earlier, he received information that they were already killed.After gathering information, Ivan had recently realized that June was behind everything.

An affair with the Mafia Boss Ch179: Black was sorry
The old lady chuckled. “I was so stupid! How could I not differentiate between someone with a good heart like you from those full of bad intentions? Instead of protecting him, I exposed all of us to danger. Please forgive me…”Natalie, who had never had any experience of an elderly person apologizing, did not know what she was supposed to say. She pursed her lips in fear.The old lady sighed. “I am not saying all this because you saved my life. I just think I was too blind in the past not to see the good in you. Please, take good care of my grandson, and my great grandchildren!“Natalie was just so shocked. She had not expected that things would be this easy after so much struggle. That meant that the old lady was blessing her marriage with Ivan, right?She lifted her eyes to look at Ivan, and seeing the broad smile on his face, Natalie relaxed. Everything was fine. They were finally going to be together without any difficulties.Ivan winked at her, and Natalie could not help but roll

The doctor sighed with disappointment. “You don't know it? That thing that healed you!“ He was not sure if the girl was just pretending or she really knew nothing about it.Natalie shook her head. “Wait… I think I was wounded! What happened? What is that Gello you are talking about?“ She asked.The doctor sighed. “When you were brought here, we all thought you were going to die! You had wounds, you had lost a lot of blood and you were almost losing your child. But… that thing they gave you… it healed you in less than ten minutes…”Even though Natalie was pretending not to know anything about Gello, she was shocked to hear that she was healed like that. “Doctor, are you sure about what you are talking about?“ “Yes… it happened… He just wrapped it around your hand…” The doctor had begun speaking when the door was pulled open and two men walked in. Trevor went directly to the doctor and held his hand. “Doctor, would you mind us having a small talk?“ He asked while pulling him out, not
An affair with the Mafia Boss Ch177: Saved by Gello
Natalie froze up. She waited for the excruciating pain, then maybe, death. She had been so sure that June had shot her straight in the chest. She would be dead in just a few seconds.However, after a few seconds, nothing happened. She did not get any pain either. Confused, she opened her eyes.“Natalie…” Someone called her. All she could hear and see were the movements of people here and there.But her eyes caught one person who was running towards her direction. “Natalie… are you okay?“ Ivan asked as he pulled her into his arms.Due to the pressure he applied, Natalie winced in pain. Her body was covered in several wounds due to the torture that these people had inflicted on her. She saw June lying on the ground, her gun some distance away from her.“You are hurt! Quickly, call an ambulance!“ Ivan ordered as he tried to untie her. Trevor and a few other men were checking up on the old lady.“Ivan… you came…” Natalie said in shock. She had not expected him to be back that quickly. But

His mommy was finally there to save him.Natalie hurriedly untied him and pulled him into his hands. “You are fine now…”“Mommy…. Save great grandma. She is in the backyard. Auntie June has a gun…” Carter said the moment he remembered what had happened.Natalie shook. “It's okay,” she said and carried Carter to the room where she had locked Melan. “She will protect you,” Natalie whispered to Carter.She handed Carter to Melan. “Melan, don't open the door until I come back. Don't make any noise,” she said while trembling.“Sister… will you be safe?“ Melan asked in fear. Natalie hurriedly nodded and locked the door behind her, leaving.She ran upstairs to Ivan's room and took out her phone. Luckily, Ivan hurriedly picked him up when she called him.“Natalie…” Ivan called. “Did something happen? I am done here. I am taking the plane soon…”“Ivan… hurry up! Grandma is in danger!“ Natal
An affair with the Mafia Boss Ch175: Killed
When Black came back to the room, Natalie wanted to keep her distance from him. If this man could send his wife away without blinking, what was he not capable of?Black sighed seeing her action. “Daughter, I sent her away to make up for what we caused you to go through in the past,” he spoke up. “Please, forgive me…”Still, Natalie could not fully understand if the man had changed or he was just pretending. “Why did you bring me back?“ She asked at last. She wanted to end things as fast as possible. She wanted to go back to Ivan and Carter.Black took a seat beside her. “I heard about your break up with Ivan… that man has wronged you. I am your father. I had to come for you. I will help you carry out revenge if you want to…”Natalie pretended to be really heartbroken. “But… why are you two fighting?“ She asked. She was still mad that the man had pretended that the break up had nothing to do with him.Black was silent for a while. “ We were fighting in the past, not anymore. I won't li
An affair with the Mafia Boss Ch174: Delilah's end
…Natalie's eyes widened when she woke up on an unfamiliar bed, her mind finally connecting the dots. The room she found herself in was lavish and spacious, a real contrast to the small, cramped space she had been forced to inhabit in the past in this house. The memories of the mistreatment she endured flooded her mind, making her feel annoyed and anger about those two people that called themselves parents.She moved, and her body ached. She could not help but wince in pain. She had expected to be taken away by Black, but the fact that they had sedated her before bringing her here spoke volumes about their intentions. It was as if they didn't even want to give her the chance to fight back or escape.Her thoughts were interrupted as the door was pushed open, and a woman around forty years old stepped inside the room. The woman's eyes widened in disbelief as they landed on Natalie, and she let out a horrified scream."Aaaah!" the woman shrieked, her hands flying to her mouth as if to st

Natalie tried to sit up, her concern immediately shifting to the boy who had accidentally knocked her off her feet. "The boy who just knocked me off... Is he okay?" she asked, showing her compassionate nature even in her own moment of distress.Ivan scanned the crowd and locked eyes with the worried boy. He noticed the blood on the boy's hand and pursed his lips. "Someone check up on the boy," he instructed, and the people around quickly rushed to help him.Still feeling disoriented, Natalie held onto Ivan's hand. "Can you help me up?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly."Of course," Ivan replied hurriedly, carefully assisting her to her feet. He guided her away from the gathering crowd and led her towards the car, where they could have some privacy.As they distanced themselves from the scene, Ivan noticed Natalie's expression changing. Her eyes turned red, and sadness enveloped her face. He gently helped her into the car, his heart aching for her."Are you feeling hurt anywhere?

Ivan woke up with Natalie in his hands, a broad smile appearing on his face as he looked at her sleeping face. He brought his hands to her face and gently caressed her, feeling the sense of peace that he had missed for days.Natalie's eyes fluttered when something kept moving on her face. Slowly, she opened her eyes and met a man's warm gaze. She snuggled closer to him, a smile on her face. "Good morning, beast," she greeted him jokingly.Ivan smiled and pinched her nose. "You look so happy today. Did that mean that I satisfied you well last night?" He joked back.Natalie buried her face into his chest to hide away her embarrassment. "Can't you just talk like a normal person?" She asked and pinched his waist playfully.Ivan hurriedly held her hand. "Stop messing around unless you want to awaken the beast again," he said, and kissed her lips lovingly.Natalie smiled, her cheeks flushed. She seemed to have thought of something and sat up. "Um... Black will be taking me today, right?" She
