Third POV “Forgive me for my interpretation cousin, but what does Clarissa represent here in the mafia, her presence is a treat and from My research she is Russian, and her presence here does not sit well with the Russians” Vincent said and as everyone present gasped looked at him like he was insane.The tension in the air was thick enough to choke on, as if every breath had to fight its way out of our lungs. Dominic sat at the head of the table. His jaw was clenched tight, his dark eyes fixed with a simmering fury on the man sitting directly across from him Vincent.Dominic was composed, but that was always when he was the most dangerous. His silence had a gravity, and it pulled everyone in the room into its orbit. Even Vincent, who rarely seemed to be fazed by anyone or anything, couldn't ignore it.There was an undercurrent of power between the two of them, and it had been building for months. Dominic, the leader, the Don of the family the one whose word was law. And Vincent,

I didn’t know if I was to be angry or sad. I could see that not every one wanted me here and Vincent had expressed his anger toward that.But he was bested by Dominic, I didn’t know much but I could tell that the two of them didn’t get along after that conversation, I observe the way everyone sat still with fear as they watched the interaction without anyone saying a word to opppsed any of them.Then I knew, maybe only vincent had trooper to oppose his claim, I didn’t know why to think of him after all I had just met him a few minutes ago, but I knew the was something dangerous about him and I knew I would never eve go so close to him.I could still see the anger in Dominic eyes as Everyone ate their food and he sat ther drinking his wine, the was still tension in the air as everyone ate without a word or maybe they were scared or say any thing after what had happened between Dominic and Vincent.In a few minutes, Dominic had angrily stormed out of the dining, followed by vincent and

I suppressed my shock as I looked at him with horror, wondering how much more he had overheard. I knew i needed to act smart to cover up, i couldn't let him assumed the worst.Suddenly, I smiled, and I noticed his eyes dart to Lily. Unfortunately, she was quick enough to pull her hoodie over her head as she turned her face away.“I ask a question; did all of you go mute?” he snapped. I looked at him with a smile that I knew was fake, and my eyes narrowed at him.“Harper, she told me you killed her baby,” I lied, as his gaze pierced right through me. It was a foolish thing to say, but I knew I had to say something to escape whatever this was. I couldn't let him find out about that just yet; I had no idea how he would react or how it would end.“What!” he exclaimed, stepping closer to me.“Excuse me,” Lily said, turning and walking away quickly, but his eyes remained fixed on me.“I heard you say 'your baby.' Don’t play games with me,” he warned, and I looked at him with a smirk.“I’m

The day went by as I spent it exploring the collection with Dominic. I never realized I could paint, and when I attempted to use a brush, I could only manage half of what I used to accomplish.The night was lovely, and Dominic stayed by my side as we laughed and discussed everything that made sense while watching a movie.He agreed to take things slow with me, which I truly appreciated, and I eventually drifted off to sleep in his arms. By morning, I woke up in my bed, and just as my feet touched the ground, there was a knock on my door.I groaned and fell back onto the bed, wondering who it could be.“Come in,” I called out, and the door opened. I expected to see a servant, but instead, it was Harper. She entered with a bright smile, which immediately made me uneasy.“Harper... it’s nice to see you,” I said through clenched teeth, trying to maintain a pleasant expression.“Oh, did I wake you? I’m so sorry if I did,” she said as she approached the bed. I stood up to receive her embra

I gazed at her in amazement. Was she about to say what I thought she was? Just as I was about to open my mouth to urge her to continue, the doors swung open, and lily walked in casually. She froze when her eyes landed on Harper, who looked back at her with disgust. It was clear that the two despised each other. “I see you have company. Why is she here?” Harper asked me, her gaze fixed on her. “Why I’m here is none of your business, you witch. I expect you to respect that,” she shot back at Harper, who appeared furious at her words and forcefully stood up from the table. “Watch your language. I won’t let you speak to me like that… I am the…” she began but then stopped herself. “You should have finished that sentence. You are nothing, absolutely nothing. So don’t walk around trying to make an impression as if you’re something special, because believe me, you are nothing,” Lily retorted.I observed Harper rise to her feet and walk over to Lily while I sat there feeling foolish. “I

As I sat in the car, I watched Lily’s hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly that her knuckles were turning white. Her fingers trembled, and the way her breaths came short and uneven was enough to show how scared she was. I knew she didn’t like that we were going to see Dominic, but she trusted me and I appreciated that. I reached over and placed my hand on hers, feeling the tremor through her skin.“You don’t have to worry, Lily,” I whispered, trying to calm her down. “You’ll be safe. I’ll be fine. I just… I just have to find out the truth about everything.” I comforted her.She turned her head slightly, glancing at me, her eyes wide and glassy. Tears welled up in her eyes, and before I could blink, one slipped down my cheek. I hadn’t even realized I was crying.“I don’t know,” she whispered, her voice shaky. “This is scary. I know you don’t trust Ivan. It’s not too late to turn back. You don’t have to do this, we can find out the truth another way” she begged me.I shook my

His demeanor shifted as he spoke. As far as I know, he has never spoken to me like that since I met him.“Where is my son? I need to see him,” I asked, and he nodded to one of his men, who went inside the building.“You don’t seem happy to see me, Clarissa,” he remarked as I stood there.I was disgusted by the way he pretended not to know what he had done wrong, and i hated him for it, he took me away from my life, lied to me and now he had this sick smile on his face.“You lied to me. You... you did all this for what? A year of my life, all brainwashed from my mind because of what?” I shouted in frustration as he stood there watching me.“I don’t appreciate that tone; you should be careful,” he replied, and before I could respond, I saw my boy being brought out. But instead of being handed to me, he was placed in Ivan's arms.“Look at him, all handsome and glorious, just like his father,” he commented, glancing at me.“Im his father. Never again question the paternity of my child. He
Chasing His Betrayed Ex-Wife Chapter 31-Courage
It was difficult; I thought Ivan would keep me and never allow me to leave, but I was willing to take that risk to see my son. However, he kicked me out, and his men took my vehicle and left us there. I tried to run back, but I collapsed on the road, crying out in pain. Lily stood there watching me; I knew there was nothing she could do anymore. Ivan had blackmailed me, and seeing the look in his eyes made me believe that everything said about him was true. It hurt to know he had taken me away from my life, got me pregnant, and stole my son, only to blackmail me with him. I felt lost and didn’t know what to do. “Clarissa, we need to go before Dominic realizes you’re missing,” Lily called out, but I didn’t feel like leaving; nothing felt right anymore. “How can I continue living knowing my life has been taken from me? My freedom has been stolen, and the things I held dear have been snatched away. How?” I cried, holding my stomach in tears. “I know it’s hard, but what more can we
