Aziel: Ex-Mafia's Son-in-Law Chapter 33: Father and Daughter
Carlo's face contorted in disbelief as he locked my head in his arms. "Dude, I thought you were here to console me. I just went through a break-up, and now you're getting territorial about your wife in front of me? That's harsh, man," he murmured, a hint of amusement creeping into his voice.I wriggled out of his grasp, laughing. "Come on, I was just teasing. You were staring a little too intently at her," I said, trying to lighten the mood.Carlo let out a deep belly laugh, collapsing onto the couch as Laia looked on in confusion. "Alright, enough of this. Let's eat. I prepared breakfast for us," she called out, gesturing towards the dining table.With a groan, Carlo pulled himself off the couch and made his way to the table, with Laia and I following closely behind.The spread before us was truly a sight to

I couldn't believe what I was reading. My mind raced as I thought about the implications of this news.My heart pounded in my chest upon reading the message from Tiffany as I imagined the possibility of her son being my own. I had always hoped for the test results to come back negative, but deep down I knew that I needed to know the truth for me to take the correct course of action without hurting my pregnant wife. The thought of potentially having a child with another woman made me feel guilty and uncertain about my future. I couldn't help but feel nervous as I thought about the impending confirmation of my paternity and the implications it would have on my life.I knew that this was going to be a problem. I had been trying to avoid thinking about Tiffany's return, but now it was happening, and I didn't know how to react. I felt a mix of emotions, from guilt to sadness to worry. I didn't know what to say to Laia, who was sitting across from me. I tried to steady my br

It was already the day of Tiffany's arrival, I was caught off guard as she stormed into my office unannounced, cradling a baby in her arms. "Az! We're back!" she exclaimed with a bright smile, completely disregarding the fact that she had entered without permission. My initial shock quickly turned to anger as I glared at her, gritting my teeth as I tried to dial security."Who allowed you to enter my office arbitrarily?" I asked, raising my voice with frustration."Goodness, babe! You're scaring your son!" she chided, shushing the whimpering baby in her arms.I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Why did you come here?" I asked through gritted teeth, trying to keep my voice low in an effort not to startle the baby as I placed the phone apparatus back to its place."I just said I'm your wife. What's wrong?" she replied, her tone nonchalant as if she had done nothing wrong."Wife? You are not my wife!" I exclaimed, my frustration growing by the sec

As we stepped out of the building, I could not help but notice the envious glances from her colleagues. We made our way to a cozy Italian restaurant that I had made reservations at. The aroma of freshly baked bread and herbs wafted through the air as we entered, making my stomach growl with hunger.Once Laia and I were seated, I ordered a pitcher of fresh lemon juice and appetizers for us to share. The dishes arrived within minutes of placing our order, but the pasta and steak that we had ordered were still being prepared. I had wanted to order a steak for Laia, but she had mentioned not wanting to eat meat due to her morning sickness."Are you sure you don't want to order anything else?" I asked, concern etched on my face as I noticed her pale complexion and the dark circles under her eyes."I’m fine. Don't worry too much," she reassured me with a subtle smile as she sipped her juice.I had something on my mind that I wanted to talk to her about, b

As I pulled into the parking lot of our apartment complex, I hesitated before turning off the engine. My mind was a jumbled mess of emotions, still reeling from the DNA test I had just taken.I couldn't shake off the feeling of dread that had settled in my stomach since Tiffany's threat to tear me and Laia apart.Before I left the hospital, Tiffany had reminded me that once the result was out, she'll do her best to do everything to get me back, even by force. I couldn't understand what gains she would achieve for wrecking my newly formed family. I don't even have anything she can take from me. The wealth and position I have is not even mine in the first place, and it will all be gone once I made a mistake according to my contract with Laia's father.Though I had known that Tiffany was obsessed with me, I never could have imagined her going to such lengths after our break-up two years ago. I know I needed to talk to Laia about it, but I don't know how to bring up

My mind was filled with a whirlwind of emotions as I struggled to process the impact of her words. It was a foreign feeling to me, as Laia had always been distant in our conversations, keeping a careful distance between us.But today, everything felt different. Her words echoed in my head, ringing with truth and conviction. I felt a warmth in my chest, as if her trust in me was a beacon of hope in the midst of the chaos and confusion that had consumed my life.As I approached the nurse's station, I couldn't help but reflect on the events that had led me to this point. The sudden appearance of a child claiming to be mine, and the subsequent questions that followed. And now, my wife's unwavering trust in me, even in the face of all the uncertainty.I felt a mix of gratitude and fear as I confirmed Laia's schedule with the nurse. Gratitude for having someone who believed in me, even when the world seemed to be against me, and fear of letting her down. But I was det

A fresh and sweet scent tickled my nose as I woke up. I can still feel one of my hands placed on my wife's belly as she lay her head on my arm. I pulled her closer, snuggling her bare skin under the thick blanket as I indulged myself in the scent of her hair.The steady rise and fall of her chest and her calm heartbeat, sends calmness amidst the chaos in my mind."Can we be like this always?" I whispered in a low voice.Laia suddenly groaned as she turned to face me, pressing her head against my bare chest. "I'm not sure what you're talking about. But... You're well aware that Nina already said we should only do this in moderation," she murmured as she tucked her leg between mine while resting her arm on my side as if she's hugging a pillow.I chuckled though I felt quite aroused by her movement and her words. "I know. I'm talking about mornings like this, where we just snuggle up in bed, cuddling one another as we share warmth during this cold season."

Our friends had already made their way out of our home, Laia and I stood by the door, feeling a mix of exhaustion and satisfaction with how the party had turned out. My parents approached us, their faces filled with happiness. My mother handed us a hefty envelope, saying "We're so overjoyed for you both. Use this for your baby." My father gave me a pat on the back and added, "We can't wait to be grandparents."Suddenly, Sienna called out to my parents, "Mom! Dad! The cab is here. Let's go." She rushed back after hailing a cab, then hugged Laia and said, "Take care of yourself, Sis. I won't be able to come back for a few months, but I'll make sure to visit before the baby arrives." Turning to me, she added, "Keep me updated, Az."I jokingly responded, "Wow, are you officially my wife's sister now? You couldn't even call me brother. Tsk!" Sienna giggled and then made her way to the cab with my parents.Meanwhile, as Laia's father approached us, I could see the resolve in his eyes. He sto

Aziel: Ex-Mafia's Son-in-Law Epilogue
After Carlo and Sienna's exquisite wedding, Laia and I discovered ourselves in a serene corner of the resort's garden. The waning sun cast a gentle, warm glow over the surroundings as we distanced ourselves from the jubilant celebrations. The air carried the delightful scent of flowers, and in the distance, we could hear the soothing waves caressing the coast.We trekked together, our fingers entwined, and contentment surged through us. The brisk ocean breeze and the subtle saline sea aroma, nearly eclipsed by the flower's fragrance, stirred up cherished memories. With a grin, I inquired, "Recall our first New Year together?" as we settled on a nearby bench."That day was full of joy, shared with our friends and families," she chuckled. "I believe it's also the very same day when their relationship took off.""Who? Carlo and Sienna? How did you find out?" I asked, perplexed since I hadn't told her yet how I discovered Sienna's pregnancy two years ago, during her

The twilight deepened as I paced back and forth in a silent and dimly lit corridor in front of the operating room. Daniel Adler's operation took hours due to the tricky position of the bullet inside his body, while Mr. Stone was already in the recovery room, surrounded by law enforcers who took turns keeping an eye on him."I have to go home now and check on my wife and Anika," Carlo said as he walked near me. "You should relax yourself a bit.""Carlo is right," Eric interjected, his voice a comforting anchor amid my turmoil. He urged me gently with a supportive tap on my back. "You should take a well-deserved break and entrust the rest to me. Go and be with your wife," he suggested understandingly.I muttered, glimpsing at the operating door, "But—""I'll stay here and keep you updated. Here's your phone, so go ahead and check your wife now," Eric insisted.Carlo then pulled my arm and said, "Let's go! The exit is also that way."Despite my excitement, I felt conflicted about seeing

I found myself in profound silence, staring at the room's ceiling. The pristine white expanse seemed to reflect my inner turmoil, a cruel reminder of the revelation about Olivia Harrington that had shaken me to my core. I sat at my desk, feeling overwhelmed. I forced deep breaths to steady my racing heart. Each beat resonated in my ears, echoing the emotions welling up inside. At the same time, my head throbbed with anguish, and tears blurred my vision. Each fleeting moment stretched endlessly, and the surroundings dissolved into obscurity as I grappled with the surge of intense emotions. It was as if the weight of the entire universe rested on my shoulders, and all I could do was hold my breath, adrift in the chaos of my thoughts and feelings. After I regained some composure, taking a deep, shuddering breath, I reached for the company phone. I summoned Carlo and Eric to my office, maintaining a steady tone despite my inner restlessness. They promptly arrived to discuss further enha

Following the downfall of my father-in-law's prominent business and my wife's kidnapping, the Black Panthers maintained a low profile. A confidential investigation revealed Mr. Stone's abstention from further actions, emphasizing their exclusive objective of eradicating the AD corporation from the corporate landscape. To steer clear of direct rivalry with his enterprise, I channeled my newly established venture into pioneering technological advancements, ensuring their covert development beyond the scope of Mr. Stone's scrutiny.During the initial weeks of rekindling my friendship with Tiffany, Mr. Stone grew suspicious to the extent that he had me surveilled by Black Panthers personnel.

Shortly after I managed to assuage Mr. Ston

I froze, my heart pounding as though it might burst from my chest. My hands trembled as I grasped my champagne glass, my fingers slick with moisture. It couldn't be her, I reasoned. My mind is scrambling to rationalize the absurdity of the situation. Laia had been missing for a year despite our best attempts, and the agony of not knowing her fate had been a continuous weight on my shoulders.However, the deeper hole kept opening up inside me as she moved nearer, and the facial features became apparent clearly. It was her. The same hazel eyes that once sparkled with frivolity and comfort are scanning the space in a vain attempt to locate someone. The edges of her lips curled up in a gentle smile that carried the power to dispel all anxiety.I put my champagne glass back on the table and started walking in the crowd, looking at them with mixed feelings of hope and anxiety inside me. Time seemed to have stopped, and I felt neither the piercing eyes nor the whispers behind my back. It was
Aziel: Ex-Mafia's Son-in-Law Chapter 70: Seeking Assistance
As the night wore on, Sienna and Carlo prepared a makeshift bed in their living room for me. They insisted I stay the night since it was already late, and they couldn't let me go alone in my current state of mind. However, the events of the day had taken a toll on them. Anika, who had been relatively calm during dinner, began to cry, and Sienna had to tend to her. Carlo reluctantly left my side to help her soothe the baby.The frantic cries of Anika filled the apartment, echoing through the living room where I lay. But then, as Carlo and Sienna's efforts to calm her continued, a deafening silence enveloped the room. It was in this silence that my mood turned for the worst. I was overwhelmed with misery, despair, desire, wrath, and self-blame.I tossed and turned on the improvised bed, thoughts consumed by the day's events, the hunt for Laia, and the inquiry into the accidents. The heaviness of the universe seemed to settle on my shoulders, and I couldn't escape the feeling that I was
Aziel: Ex-Mafia's Son-in-Law Chapter 69: The Perpetrator
After more than half a year of attempts to find the perpetrator who caused both my father-in-law's and my wife's car accidents, the investigators finally caught him. The bittersweet relief clashed with my agony and rage, followed by self-blame as I lowered the phone, placing it slowly on the bed. "Was that the investigators?" Carlo inquired as soon as I hung up the call. "Yeah, they finally caught him," I replied. "It took them a while," he grumbled in disappointment. I clamped my jaws as I felt increasingly frustrated, then flopped onto the bed with desperation. A deep sigh escaped from my mouth as I yearned for a moment of relief. I tried to seek comfort in my mind, but my inner turmoil prevented it. Restlessness surged through me. I couldn't resist the urge to shift and turn on the mattress. It felt like a storm of thoughts and emotions was swirling within me, making any chance for rest seem like a fantasy. "Man, I know how anxious you are right now, but we need to sleep so we
