"Thirdly, Do not develop romantic feelings for me," Lucas stated boldly as he laid down his rules.

"Excuse me?" Kate's disbelief was palpable. ‘Did he really just tell me I am forbidden from falling in love with him?’

"And what if I do?" Kate's question escaped her lips before she could stop herself. She caught a glimpse of Lucas' widened eyes and noticed his fist clenching before he covered up his reaction a moment later.

"It could jeopardize the plan," he responded without hesitation.

"Why?" Kate probed further.

"To the public, we will appear as a couple, but only until I gain control over the business and family. After that, we will go our separate ways. If you fall in love with me, it would only complicate matters when it's time to end our arrangement."

Kate was taken aback by his words. ‘Did he make that rule to spare me a broken heart? I never thought he would care that much.’

She wet her lips and swallowed hard before speaking again, "But what if it goes the other way? Wh

    Kate opened her mouth to answer, but no words came out. She looked at Lucas's cold face and sighed inwardly. ‘Why does it feel so hard to tell him where I was?’ she wondered.A voice whispered in her head. ‘Because he looks so terrifying right now.’Kate shivered and nodded slightly as if agreeing. Then she felt a pinch on her waist and turned to the brooding man. She saw the scowl in his eyes directed at her and realized he was still waiting for an answer. “I… where did everyone go? The house was empty when I came in,” she said quickly.Lucas narrowed his eyes. He knew what she was doing. She was stalling and avoiding his question. “I sent them away," he answered flatly.Kate blinked. He had sent everyone away? Even Ace? she thought and asked curiously, "Why?”The temperature in the room dropped, and Kate swallowed hard as she rubbed her hands together. “I asked where you were, Kitty,” Lucas repeated, bringing his hands forward to touch her chin. Then he turned her head toward his fa

  • MR. MAFIA ACHILLES HEEL   Chapter 74_ Where were you?

    As Kate entered the living room, she plopped onto the couch and threw herself back, leaning into the sofa cushion and closing her eyes. She zoned out for a bit, lost in thought, trying to shake off the annoyance Matteo had ignited in her.After a while, Kate straightened up and blew out a frustrated breath, then let her mind wander back to her conversation with Matteo.‘What was wrong with him? Why was he being so unreasonable?’ she thought with a frown. This was the first time she had gotten mad because of him. Matteo had never behaved that way with her before. He’d always been kind to her, respectful, and considerate of her boundaries.Her frown deepened when she remembered how he had pulled her closer and wrapped his hands around her waist. “I should have hit him in the face! Maybe that would have brought him back to his senses,” she muttered regretfully.She had thought going to the hospital and explaining how things were between her and Lucas was the right thing to do. Matteo was

    Matteo watched as different expressions crossed Elizabeth’s face. She was lost in thought, her brows furrowed as she contemplated what to do. Then, he noticed her biting her lower lip a moment later, her eyes filled with hesitation and fear.Matteo was now more than curious to hear what secret about Lucas she was hesitating so hard to speak about. But for some reason he didn't yet understand, he didn't want to put her in a tight spot.She was affecting him. But why? Why was he being drawn to her?He mused, his eyes fixed on her face as he studied every tiny detail. After a long moment of stretched silence in the room, Matteo exhaled and finally said, “If you're too afraid to say anything, then don't."At his words, Elizabeth snapped her head toward him, stunned. "Why?”Matteo shrugged. "I don't know. I don't like the fear I’m seeing in your eyes. You don't have to tell me if it’s too hard to share."Elizabeth blinked. Then she blinked again. Damn it! Those words sounded sweet in her e

    Kate struggled in Matteo's arms for a while, and when she saw that he still wouldn't let her go, she lowered her head and bit down hard on his arm, almost drawing blood. He immediately released her, his face scrunched up in pain as he glared at her.She quickly distanced herself from him and looked at him with anger in her eyes. “You disappoint me," she said in a restrained tone, then turned around and stormed out of the room.“Fool,” Matteo cursed, regretting holding her like that. He didn't like the look she'd given him, and seeing how angrily she’d left, he wondered if he was ever going to see her again. Would she still want to have anything to do with him?Kate was so blinded by anger that when she came out of the room, she didn't notice Elizabeth standing a few feet away. She made her way to the elevator and stepped inside, her mind filled with anger as she replayed the scene of falling onto Matteo in her head.While Elizabeth watched, the elevator closed and Kate was lost in he

  • MR. MAFIA ACHILLES HEEL   Chapter 71_ Cop Guy

    “What is she doing here?” Elizabeth muttered, her eyes fixed on a woman’s back.Aiden, who was standing beside her, followed her gaze, and they landed on a familiar figure. He glanced away from the woman, then turned back to Elizabeth. “Her friend is currently being treated in the hospital,” he said, and Elizabeth raised a brow at him. Aiden sighed, knowing she didn’t understand, and then decided to explain further.“The cop guy; Matteo Spencer is a friend of hers, and apparently, he was the one she’d eloped with before the wedding. Lucas had found them together and shot him in the leg. He used him to get her to appear for the wedding and told his men to bring him to the hospital to treat his wound as per the girl’s wish.” He chuckled after his explanation.“What’s funny?” Elizabeth asked with a hiss.“It’s funny how Lucas had his men bring him to the same hospital they’d brought you to. A fantastic coincidence, isn’t it?”Elizabeth glared at Aiden, and he shut his mouth, the grin di

  • MR. MAFIA ACHILLES HEEL   Chapter 70_ A Week Old

    Matteo lay in the hospital bed as different thoughts crossed his mind. He stared blankly at the ceiling, wondering what had happened to Kate after he was brought to the hospital. ‘Did she get married to him already?’ he thought bitterly, then shook his head as other thoughts made their way into his mind.‘Why hasn't she come to visit me yet? Is he stopping her from coming to see me?’ he mused, letting out a frustrated sigh. He was tired of being in the hospital; he wanted to be discharged and find out if Kate was unharmed.His eyes strayed to his legs covered in stitches, and he gritted his teeth as memories of how Lucas had shot him in the leg and used him to threaten Kate into marrying him resurfaced. “That conniving bastard!” he muttered under his breath as he clenched his fists.Lucas had humiliated him and taken the one woman he’d ever loved. He wondered if he would ever feel that way for someone else like he had for Kate. If only he'd accepted his feelings for her back then, the
