"What the hell? She's a terrible woman. Luckily, we were able to find you," said Gio, following us.I was confused; they came alone without Harper. Before I could ask, Giovanna had already let go of her annoyance. Her breath became ragged, and she stomped her feet on the ground. "I'm really angry now!" she screamed.Gio is expressive about everything. That's why sometimes, she can't control the words that come out of her mouth. It doesn't matter if someone will be offended or not. For her, it is important to express what she feels."Where's Harper?" I asked calmly."You're still asking about her? You don't care what she did to us, Mattia?""What do you mean, Gio? Where are the toys…. I mean, sister-in-law". Alessio almost said his nickname to Harper was like my new toy. That's how he called Harper."At first, she wanted the apple at the end of the branch just because the color of the apple was bright. She asked me to climb upstairs because she was pregnant. She said to use her shoes t
HARPERI found myself in the middle of the forest outside my area. Of course, I couldn't shift into my wolf form, even if I wanted to. The circumstances around here limit me, especially since I'm pregnant.There are many boundaries that I have to maintain; I even feel that during pregnancy, my body seems to change quite a lot. My energy, even my mood."My feet are swollen!" I contacted Agnes via my mind link. I left my cell phone at home and couldn't contact Mattia at all.I wondered whether they had left me on purpose or had simply forgotten me."Are you sure you don't want me to come pick you up?" Agnes replied"It's okay! I will be fine!" that's what I remember. Convincing myself that everything is still within my reach.My feet easily get sore, and even my baby seems to be starting to feel my anxiety. This wasn't right, but I still forced myself to move and got home. I was shocked to see the horses were already in their stalls."Oh my gosh, it turns out Mattia is home!" I grumbled
MATTIAMy horse is mahogany colored. It usually disagrees with new people. When I took Harper with me, my horse accepted it. So, I think Harper is not a dangerous person.But why do I hear her cunning attitude like this?"Daddy?" I was shocked to meet my father. I knew he intended to talk to me.What Harper said to my mother was a mistake. I'm not interested in explaining everything to Harper, but my mother? My mother's past regarding this family could be better. I can say my mother never considered us a Mafia family. She had bad memories of this."Your mother cried when she came back to the room! I asked, but she didn't explain! So Giovanna explained everything to me," he said.We sat in the lounge room. But if it were just me and my father in this room, important conversations would only end between us. My father wouldn't let anyone else know what we talked about, including our family."For a long time, I have maintained family traditions. Our organization is my family, but you are
HARPER"What on earth, Mabel? You? You suddenly brought me here." I was silent at the gate of Orazio's special farm.My eyes combed the view of the farm from left to right, noticing horse pens, chickens, and ducks. Not far away, in a different place, there was a pig and cow pen, and I thought it was deer or sheep. I'm still trying to figure that out."Mr Mattia asked me to bring you here as a form of you having to serve your sentence," she replied"Punishment? For something I didn't do!" I protested, even though I had already told Mabel about what happened in the forest. I just don't understand. Why don't they believe me?Am I doing something wrong? Or have they hated me since I came to this place? Mattia offered me this marriage contract, which I accepted because I wanted to take advantage of it.Technically, we leverage each other. It doesn't matter if they don't like me, and it's okay if they don't accept me. But if they make things difficult for me like this, I actually feel like
MATTIARocco welcomed me at base camp. A special place a bit far from the main road. I use this place as a gathering location for my people. I provide all the facilities they need to have fun."Where is he?" I askedLucia was standing next to me. She glanced in various directions, assessing the atmosphere in this place. Because everyone here was male, the room was a bit stuffy and had a strong smell of alcohol at several points."This way, I've tied him up in the interrogation room!" Rocco replied.Touching Lucia's shoulder and ensuring she was okay, "Hey, if you're uncomfortable being here, you should just wait for me in the car.""Do I look uncomfortable?""I'm just saying if you're uncomfortable!""And I'm fine!" she smiled back. Instead, she turned her head gracefully, stepping ahead of me. "Where is the interrogation room? I want to visit there," she said.The name of the core member I captured was Alex. He's a fucking bastard trying to play tricks on my business. Smuggling drugs
HARPERI don't want to look pathetic in front of them. It hurts my feelings to deal with my ex-husband, who just threw me away. It was as if he didn't care about the long years I had spent as his wife.As soon as I entered the room, I said, "I didn't expect Alpha Wilder and his wife to willingly visit my pack like this!"Wilder and Teressa glanced at me in unison. So quickly, I felt the vibration inside me. How long has it been since I've seen Wilder look like this?I sat right in front of them. Making sure they looked at me intently, as if I wouldn't avoid the storm that came with the sound of thunder even once.My uncle glanced at me. From his mind link, he asked whether I needed to be accompanied in this room. I begged him to give me space, leaving me alone to face Wilder."Alright, I am leaving! If you need anything, call me, Harper," said my uncle. He then walked away, leaving us.It was as if my eyes knew who I should look at first, so my eyes were focused only on Wilder. What d
MATTIAWe are adults, and there is no need for explanations about spending the night. I mean, as a normal man, I certainly know what Lucia wants. Renting a VIP room in a hotel is no longer foreign to me.Several times in the past, I couldn't control my desires. It's common for me to fool around with some women, but it's not fun because I only play if I want to."Welcome to my room," Lucia said, spreading her arms. As soon as we entered the hotel room, she twirled around. She was already half drunk, with a red flush on her cheeks. Her full lips also parted."If you feel hot, you should shower first," I said.Lucia shook her head. Instead, she stepped towards the window and opened it wide. The night wind wasn't strong tonight, so we kept the air conditioning on. Lucia felt so light at every step, so what about me?I ask myself now. Looking at Lucia's face and confirming the curves of her body from head to toe. Is it possible that I feel that much longing? When was the last time we touch
HARPER"Come on, Harper. After all, we're brothers, right? I know your attitude. We grew up together in this environment". Teressa smiled broadly as if she and Wilder were on the right side.I was the victim in this situation, but they both treated me as a suspect. They didn't even make small talk to ask how I was doing. They came as uninvited guests and made me anxious like this."What do you know about business anyway? Do you know the man you married well? Mattia Orazio! Do you think about that man's relationship with your father?" Wilder saidI gasped, my forehead furrowed in confusion. What does Wilder mean? It seems like he knows something about my father and Mattia's relationship."What do you mean?" I asked."Oh my, you don't know anything! Well, what if I said, do you know who found your father? And what was the condition of the body when it was found?" said TeresaI just can't stop thinking, what are they hiding from me? What exactly have I missed? I changed my standing posit
