**It was almost 10 PM when Braston called Lizi.**“How is Molly?” he asked without delay. “She’s pretending to be fine, but she’s missing you.” “And Brady?” he asked next. “Both of them. You’re no longer a stray dog without a master; don’t you dare stay away for too long. I told her you were negotiating with the Amazons, but I didn’t mention that it was because Matheus attacked the family.” “Damn it, Mama Lizi!” he barked into the phone. “She might connect the dots and think I went to kill Matheus, even though that wouldn’t be a lie.” “I don’t think she’s focused on Matheus, but on the fact that you’re with a mafia of women,” she replied with irony. “She’s jealous?” he asked, smiling discreetly. “Supposedly. She didn’t eat much today and stayed locked in her room. I’m not sure if you’ll find a wife when you return, so remember that you have a wife and child now.” “What the hell is she doing?” he growled, ending the call.Molly had fallen asleep easily, overcome by bore
Wrapped in secrets and dangers, Molly was raised in a rare manner for someone growing up within the mafia, like a donkey oblivious to any danger, I would say. At 17, the youngest of Caio and Matheus, professional killers in service to the late Don Teodoro who was all the trouble there, she was an enigma to her brothers. Despite growing up in the shadow of crime, she remained oblivious to the family's business, an innocence that deeply worried them. Raised in isolation, Molly was a young woman of medium height, adorned with long brown hair framing her angelic face. Her eyes, though carrying the naivety of youth, concealed a sharp intelligence and uncommon insight. It was as if, behind the facade of an inexperienced young woman, there existed a perceptive soul ready to blossom. As the daughter of the mafia madam, her mother harbored the desire for her to secure a good man who would protect her within the mafia, much as she had done herself, shaping her into a beautiful, vain, and attra
Chapter 2:"Daughter, my little flower, could you please step out for a moment? Wait outside," her father kindly requested. Madson's expression darkened as if she suspected it had something to do with her. Without arguing, she left and headed to her mother's room, remaining indifferent to the topic of men."You're not giving her away; neither of us is married, and you can only do that when one of us gets married," Matheus reminded her confidently."You're doing this on purpose!" her father shouted, pounding on the door of the cramped room."Let's just stick to the plan; if we leave now, we won't have to confront anyone.""You can go!" a female voice followed. Matilde opened the door, entered the room, and brought Madson in by the hand."Don't tell me you're still going to work as a pimp?" Matheus asked incredulously."Of course I am! My account was the only one not blocked. If you haven't noticed, I have to support three grown men and my princess, who, by the way, also hasn't had her
Chapter 3 Almost CaughtMolly jumped out of bed, throwing all the suspicious items away before her mother could notice."Mom, is something wrong?" she asked as soon as her mother entered, visibly nervous."Have you delivered all the packages?" Matilde asked, showing concern."Yes.""Let's go!" she announced, pulling her hurriedly as if they were fleeing.Madson had no idea what was happening. They headed to the car and drove off at high speed. Her mother kept her eyes on the road through the rearview mirror, making sure no one was following them. Madson just shrunk into her seat, frightened, without asking anything else."It seems like someone is following us," Molly suggested, alarmed."Damn it!" Matilde exclaimed upon seeing a motorcycle behind them. "Here!" she threw the phone into Molly's lap. "Call Matheus, now!"Madson complied without questioning. Then, she received a piece of fabric thrown onto her face."Are those the men who want to kill our family?" she asked, frightened, w
Chapter 4: Until They Let Me Go!"It's unacceptable to see you going to that place alone, you're only 17, barely able to defend yourself!" her father admonished vehemently."Family..." Matilde murmured with her head down, apprehensive. Everyone stared at her, waiting to understand what was wrong. "There's something else you don't know..." she bit her lip, lacking the courage to speak."What are you trying to say?" Lincoln asked suspiciously, shifting his attention to his wife."Someone has to go there, we have no other choice. The card, the money... the passports, everything was left behind in the rush," she commented with heavy breath."We have no one else here but us," Caio added."Lisaura is trustworthy," Matheus pondered."She is, but the safe only opens by fingerprint and... the only ones with registered fingerprints are me and Madson," Matilde concluded."Then it's settled! I'll go get what's needed," Molly offered without hesitation, as if she were a soldier ready for battle."
The next day, the same old story repeated itself. Matheus was adamant about not letting her go, while Lincoln stayed updated on the hunt, soon the whole family agreed except Matheus, still after much torment from Molly he agreed and allowed her to go."So I can solve this with that assassin instead of Lisaura and get the ring," she thought as the second possibility in case the first one didn't work out."Tomorrow early in the morning, you leave, it's the safe hour, Mom! Make sure to dress her in more decent clothes than that rustic low-cut dress, do we have a peasant at home? She can't go like that and look like a male fetish," Matheus asserted."What's a fetish?" Molly asked confused."That's why you shouldn't go like that," he warned, indifferent.The sun hadn't even risen yet, and Madson was already up wandering around the house anxiously, her brother was no longer in the room, often she heard noises in the arsenal room they had made in the basement, her brother Caio still slept as
Chapter 5: Disguising as a ProstituteAs soon as their figures disappeared on the horizon, she dashed towards Lisaura's room. The doorknob almost yielded under the force of her impatient fingers, but the door was locked."I'm coming!" Lisaura alarmed, forcefully opening the door. "Molly?" she exclaimed in surprise, seeing the girl's panicked face, which seemed to have aged years in minutes."What's happening?" Molly asked, entering the room and frantically examining everything. On Eloah's bed, the clothes she would wear were neatly arranged, along with the wig. "Are you meeting this wolf today?""Yes..." Lisaura replied, her voice dragging, the weight of guilt and fear pressing down on her shoulders. "But what are you doing here? The madam fled, and you're risking yourself.""I needed to ask you something," announced Molly without delay, her voice choked with anguish."What do you want?" Lisaura saw the girl's fearful gaze shift to the bed, picking up the wig and staring at the prosti
Chapter 6: First Time in a Man's RoomMolly's heart pounded hard, a drum echoing in her chest. She clenched her fists, focusing on containing the nausea rising up her throat.Curious glances followed her, some laden with disapproval, others merely intrigued. Molly ignored them all, her mind holding only one thought, her goal in sight. A dangerous figure she needed to find at all costs."That pink wig!" exclaimed a gravelly voice, a short man in a white suit and black hat, teeth adorned with gold and expensive rings. His appearance made Molly's stomach churn. "Eloah! What a surprise, come with me, the boss changed rooms this time," he announced, while Molly silently thanked her luck as some men leered at her from head to toe. "When are we going to have fun again? You know I can pay much more than that spoiled Playboy upstairs, don't you?" he asked, leading the way, but Molly only managed a forced smile, and he seemed to expect no response."Uh, the men around here really covet you, but

**Chapter 33: After a Day Away**Molly watched him change clothes quickly. His attire was casual: a dress shirt, black slim-fit pants, and impeccably clean black dress shoes. "Are you going out?" she asked as he put on a wristwatch. "I’m not sure yet, but I have some problems to solve now," he replied quickly. Approaching her, he kissed her on the cheek and held Brady in his arms for a moment, inhaling the delicate scent of his hair in a gentle embrace. Then, he handed him back to Molly and left. When he arrived at the office, Mustafá was waiting, standing with an air of impartiality. "So?" "Matheus destroyed half of the hideout." When he said this, Braston's expression hardened. "He was willing to kill you. Your office was wrecked, he killed twenty men, planted three bombs, and supposedly placed a mole." "Could that mole be Lisaura?" Braston asked calmly, letting out a heavy sigh as he sat down. "No, she wouldn’t do that," Mustafá concluded without hesitation. "How ca
Molly, still recovering from the shock, felt embarrassed to face Braston after what she had done. But instead of the anger she expected, she heard his deliberate and joyful laugh."What are you laughing at?" she asked, embarrassed."I’ll never take you swimming again!" he said, laughing."How the hell is this man so handsome? Smiling like that?" she thought, staring at him, lost in his body and his cheerful smile as his dark hair fell like a cascade over his forehead, giving him a sensual look."What’s so funny? I almost died; you did that without warning!""You could’ve just asked me to stop instead of trying to kill yourself. I said we were just going to explore, but if you had really…," he compressed his lips, a bit frustrated, then showed tranquility as he approached her, shivering with cold. "What’s wrong?" he asked, seeing her hugging her knees, looking disheartened."I was wrong..." she whispered, embarrassed."What?" he asked again, even though he had heard her."I... I was wr
Chapter 32: "Your Touch Isn't So Bad.""I’m sorry, as I said, I was terrified, I didn’t mean to provoke you.""Ah..." he sighed, raising his eyebrows. "So, you know you're provoking me?"Molly held her breath as she felt her back pressed against the slippery rock, experiencing the sensation of his body pressed against hers. She hesitated, looking into his eyes, and Braston then gave her a carefree smile, his brown eyes lighting up. It was the kind of smile that didn’t need words. It said everything, as one of his hands touched her face, and his thumb gently caressed her flushed cheek."Can’t you feel anything for me, even knowing we were once friends in the past?" he asked, hopeful."I don’t know what I feel now," she replied timidly, lowering her head, feeling his curious gaze studying her face thoughtfully."Hmm..." he smiled, satisfied. "If you didn’t say you don’t love me and that you’ll never like me, it means something has changed, right?" he asked, still hopeful. She just raise
Everything changed when Braston took Molly to the stable to witness the birth of the little horse. She was captivated by the pale little horse that was born; she wanted that horse so much, and even though it had already been sold, Braston stole the horse and had hidden it until today."This is..." Molly murmured, remembering as she looked at the horse."Yes, I stole it for you.""You did that? I never forgot that horse. I spent days crying when I found out I could no longer see it.""But I told you I would give it to you, so you felt better.""Yes! It was our secret, but over time, I didn't see it anymore." Suddenly, she looked at Braston, analyzing him. She could barely remember him in her memories. "You were so young... I was nine years old... You're very different from back then.""Yeah, my father punished me and made me pay 20,000 for it. I worked an entire year being exploited by the old man because of the horse," he said, laughing."You were crazy, really different from other peo
**Chapter 31: The Present I Stole for You**After the midday rest, Lizi had meticulously arranged everything as she had planned with Braston. Molly, despite her reluctance, just changed into one of the light, airy outfits she had there—a comfortable overall—and carefully selected cool clothes for Brady. Meanwhile, Braston patiently waited in the living room, already dressed in a light, airy white linen shirt with rolled-up sleeves that revealed strong forearms. His khaki shorts, made of breathable cotton, were perfect for the warm weather. He was the embodiment of strength and elegance, perfectly suited for a relaxing walk in the countryside.As soon as Molly came down the stairs, Braston handed the baby to Lizi and took the basket from her hand. Molly kept her gaze away from Braston as they walked together. As soon as they passed the mansion’s grounds, Molly occasionally glanced at Lizi, who was following them, until Braston took her hand.“That’s not necessary, I can walk on my own,
"Whether it is or not, it’s none of your business," she muttered, curling up in the bathtub."You went to my private office, dressed like that, and now you're embarrassed to see me without clothes? You weren’t even wearing a bra. Do you know how disturbing it was to have you like that in my hands and not be able to do anything? And now you think I’m going to take advantage of you? If I wanted to, I would have done it a long time ago," he asserted, showing slight frustration as he let the water cascade over his face. She watched him again, from head to toe, as he stood with his back turned.“Okay, if he can... I can at least get up to grab the towel,” she thought, breathing heavily. She stood up, stepping out of the bathtub subtly, with a wave of indignation filling her chest at how he had ignored her.“You just had to grab the damn towel!” she snapped, irritated, causing him to turn around suddenly, admiring her from top to bottom.“Don’t look!” she quickly grumbled, grabbing the towe
**Chapter 30 - Repressed Desire**Braston woke up lying on his stomach, burying his face in the soft padding, wishing he could go back to sleep. But he quickly realized that getting up was impossible. Half of Molly's body rested on his back; he could feel her body pressing against his skin while her arms were also curled up over him, with one warm palm on his waist, transmitting a comforting heat. Beside him, Levy slept peacefully, his little head resting on Braston's shoulder. The child's legs, close to Braston's face, brought a smile to his lips as he realized the child was lying in the opposite direction.Molly was using him as a human pillow, or perhaps a giant teddy bear. One of her legs trapped Braston's, immobilizing him completely, and he wondered how that was even possible. He didn’t mind; in fact, he preferred that she didn’t wake up so soon. Molly’s steady breathing on his back made him reflective, his senses sharpening as he recalled her boldness in coming to his office in
**Chapter 29: By Your Side Seems Better**"Isn't Fabrizio coming for lunch?" Lizi asked as soon as Molly entered the kitchen with the baby."I don't know, he left the room, and I don't know where he could be.""Uh-huh... did you two fight again?""No, I was just honest with him, I only told him the truth.""I see. I hope you can give him a chance, miss," she commented apprehensively as she began setting the table with the prepared dishes."I can't give a chance to someone I don't love, Mama Lizi. I really don't see anything good in him.""But there is something good in him that only you bring out. It wouldn't be a crime to love him, especially since he feels the same way.""That man can't love anything, Lizi, isn't it obvious? He has something similar to Matheus. I'm sure all they see in a woman is sex. I won't be an object for any man. I saw how my brother was with women; he only treated them as objects.""Braston is obsessive about cleanliness, and he has issues with smells.""Why?
