Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 74. Broken and Betrayed
My heart skipped a beat when a soft clicking sound reached my ears. My forehead frowned, and a soft yawn passed my lips. My eyelids felt too heavy to open. I rubbed my eyes and blinked multiple times to clear my vision. The first thing I saw was a blurry image of a man. I didn't need to think twice about who it was. It was Nikolai. He was back. A soft yawn once again passed as I sat up and rubbed my eyes once more. I blinked and looked at Nikolai, whose back was now facing me. He looked too tired and frustrated to be bothered by my presence or the silence in the room. His movements were sharp and silent as he slipped off his watch and tossed it carelessly onto the table. His shoulders were tense—too tense. And he didn’t even glance at me. Something was off. But my mind was still foggy, as I had been in a very deep sleep earlier. My head was spinning. Without giving me a single look, he walked straight to the bathroom. I let out a long breath and reached for a glass of water

Today, Nikolai left early. Last night, he slept holding me close to him. Since I had slept a lot in the afternoon, it was hard for me to fall asleep again. I kept thinking about my decision. To get revenge for everything he has done to me and my family, I had to do this, but I am unable to cope with the guilt that is eating me from the inside. I sighed and placed the book aside. The rain had started tapping against the glass window. Nikolai hasn't returned yet. He asked me not to wait for him as he could be late. Suddenly, I remembered the phone. Marco told me that he would try to contact me through that phone. I hadn't even checked it. With Nikolai not being around and no hope of him returning early, I believed this was the right time to contact Marco or at least check the phone to see if he had left a message or anything. Stepping down from the bed, the first thing I did was check the lock on the door; I didn't want to get caught. Although Nikolai could unlock it easily, it wo

I slipped the book beneath the folds of my shawl and tiptoed back to the room. The servants had returned to prepare for dinner, but I was glad that no one noticed me. My heart raced in my chest. Though no one saw me, I was scared of even the walls, as if they had eyes and knew what I had just done. I just hoped Nikolai wouldn't find out about it until we had succeeded in our mission. Once I was inside the room, I locked the door and went straight to the wardrobe. My wardrobe is the only place that's mine; Nikolai doesn't look into it, so my things are safe there. Once the book was hidden and secure, I reached for the purse and pulled out the encrypted phone Marco had given me and turned it on. My fingers trembled slightly as I dialed my brother's number. He picked up the call in just two rings, as if he had been waiting for my call. "Alessia," came his voice, sharp and expectant. "Did you find it?" I thought he would ask if I was fine, but his question was directly business-rela

I stirred lazily in my sleep as the soft warmth of sunrays caressed my cheeks. I rolled over and pulled the blanket higher. But something felt different. The sweet, fresh, and strong scent of roses reached my senses. I frowned in my half-sleep. I wanted to sleep more, but my surroundings wouldn't let me. My hand shifted beneath the covers until it brushed against something soft. Instead of the fabric of the bedsheet, petals slipped between my fingers. My eyes snapped open. What the… Where am I? I remembered last night. After having dinner with Nikolai, I fell asleep in his arms. My heart pounded in my chest as I slowly pulled down the blanket, only to be met by a surprise. The whole bed was covered with rose petals. They were scattered from the pillows to the edges of the blanket, in shades of pink, red, and white. Their thick, fresh scent filled the air. My breath caught in my throat when I saw a small chocolate cake sitting on the nightstand beside me. It also had a folded

When Nikolai left, silence spread throughout the environment. It was so thick and deep that it became difficult for me to breathe. I am conflicted. My heart and brain are going in two different directions. I have gotten my hands on the black book that could expose Nikolai in such a way that it could bring everything he has built with so much hard work to ruins. I want to take revenge for everything he has done to me in the past, but now my heart is going against me. I sighed and lay back once again. I kept staring at the ceiling for a few minutes and didn't realize when I fell asleep again due to mental exhaustion. I woke up slowly as warmth wrapped around me. For a second, everything felt peaceful and quiet, but then I blinked when I felt harsh sunlight on my skin. I sat up with a jolt. I had slept for two hours straight! I never knew that pregnancy could make me sleep so much. The room was still decorated with roses, and the cake was still on the nightstand. My li

After sending the message to Marco, I went back to the room and securely placed the purse back in the wardrobe before ensuring that I had switched off the phone. My mind was in chaos. I wanted to breathe in some fresh air. That was necessary not only for my mental health but also for my baby. So, for the rest of the day, I decided to listen to my heart. Nikolai had already given me permission to step out of the house. I didn't want to let it slip away, so I went out alone. I first went to my favorite café, had a coffee, and then went to an orphanage. I spent a few hours with the kids. They were also excited to see me after such a long time. During these three years, I have visited this orphanage. I never knew why I was so attracted to the kids, but now I understand. I may not remember my first baby, but he is still in my heart. He is always close to me. I now understand that he is the lost part of my soul that I always miss. I felt relief and peace after spending time with tho
최신 업데이트 : 2025-04-15Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 80. A beautiful evening
I wasn't expecting it to be so beautiful and elegantly decorated. The whole rooftop was booked by Nikolai. Fairy lights were wrapped around the poles and railings like a sky of fallen stars. A long table was set under the open night, candles flickering around, petals scattered over the ground, and soft music playing in the background. Everything was so dreamy and beyond my imagination. My head turned to Nikolai, who was standing there with a soft smile on his lips. Suddenly, I flinched when I heard a cracker pop. He chuckled and pointed at the sky. I turned my attention in the direction of his finger. I forgot to breathe for a second when I read what was written in the sky: "I love you, Dolcezza." I swallowed hard. The words mingled with the sky, and once again, the cracker burst. It rose high in the sky before scattering into beautiful lights, forming words: "Happy birthday." My heart was too heavy with emotions to do anything. I couldn't move, couldn't blink, or even breath

When I thought it was going to be the end of the day, as he had already given me many surprises, Nikolai took me to a room. I was completely perplexed, as I didn't know where he was taking me or what his plan was. I saw a flicker of nervousness and anticipation in his eyes, which is very rare. He seemed almost unsure, as if he thought his plan might backfire. Slowly, Nikolai pushed open the door to the room, and I stepped in. Nikolai held my hand tightly, as if the thing he was about to show me would shock me. The first thing that greeted me was the faint scent of lavender, which felt almost nostalgic. The moment the lights in the room were turned on, my breath caught in my throat. The room was small and intimate. There was a piano in the corner, a small canvas on a stand with unfinished brush strokes, and shades of baby blues, as if someone were painting for a baby boy. A plush reading nook by the window had books stacked haphazardly and photographs. Not one or two, bu

Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 95. You forgot me
My fingers dug into my lap, and I sat frozen in my place as I waited for him to speak. I had been waiting to hear the truth for so long."Yes, this is the truth: because of me, we lost the child." My breath hitched. "But I wasn't directly responsible for it." My eyebrows drew in confusion. Nikolai leaned forward, resting his elbows on the edge of the table. His hands were clasped loosely in front of him. "You may not remember it, but I know your heart has realized how deeply we were in love with each other once." "We were living a happy life together. We created our small little world without caring about others. And then..." He smiled. "We got the greatest news of our lives: that you were pregnant." I blinked, and a gasp escaped my throat as I tried to think about it. My head spun, and frustration grew when I couldn't remember anything. "But our happiness caught an evil eye. The doctor said that you weren't fit to carry a child." I swallowed hard. "But you still wan
Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 94. Face to Face
He didn't look as youthful and lively as before. His hair was messy, and his beard had grown out; it was heavy and untrimmed. His eyes looked hollow, with dark bags underneath, as if he hadn't slept for nights. His shoulders were hunched, and his body didn’t carry that aura. His eyes softened slightly when he was sure that I was actually standing in front of him. He looked at me as if I were the first light after a long night. Slowly, he stood up, and my feet subconsciously took me to him. For a moment, neither of us spoke. The world around us blurred as we kept looking at each other like we hadn’t seen each other in lifetimes. Then, his lips slowly curved into a faint smile.“I knew you would come,” his voice was low and raspy, missing that roar and firmness. I said nothing because I didn’t know what to say. A part of me wanted to scream, wanted to ask him why he was still doing this—why he was still making it harder for me to hate him. Another part of me just wanted to fall
Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 93. Listening to the heart
"Where are you going?" My feet came to a halt when I heard Marco's voice. I turned around to face him. I couldn't forget the way he had shouted at me in the study. He is my elder brother. I have always respected him, but that doesn’t mean he can shout at me. I don’t give this right to anyone. "I don’t believe I’m obligated to answer every question you throw at me, Marco. I’m not accountable to you.” I folded my arms across my chest and looked directly into his eyes. His jaw clenched and fists tightened. It was quite clear he didn’t like what I said, but still he kept his voice neutral, not allowing his feelings to reflect through his tone. "I understand that you are an adult with your own rights, but you are living under my protection and..." “Under my father's protection,” I corrected sharply, cutting him off. His eyes darkened, and his head tilted just slightly to the side—an old habit of his whenever he didn’t like what the other person had just said. It was subtl
Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 92. Meet me
My heart stopped for a moment as I listened to that deep, rough voice that somehow managed to make space in my heart. It still made something inside me stir. I wanted to end the call, to prove that he no longer controls me, but the way he said "please" made it impossible for me to do so. My grip on the phone tightened as not a single word came out of my mouth. Silence spread between us. I could hear his ragged breathing and feel his nervousness through the phone. Then, I heard the rustle of wind on the other end, as if he were outside. "How did he get my number?" The question popped into my mind. I mentally slapped myself for being so stupid. How could I forget that he has many sources? "I didn't think you'd pick up," he said softly, breaking the silence. Suddenly, I felt a rush of emotions and was about to end the call when he spoke again. "I won't take much of your time, Alessia." I swallowed hard. "One minute—just say whatever you want," I stated in a cold and flat tone, t
Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 91. Revenge
“Sign them over to me.” For a moment, I thought my ears were ringing, that I had heard something wrong. First, I can't believe Nikolai has transferred his property into my name without telling me, and now Marco wants me to sign it over to him. Why? I realized my hands were trembling when I felt a large, rough hand cover my palm. It was my father's. He looked at me and nodded reassuringly. He already knew about it, and he also wanted the same from me. How could I not know about my own life and the things happening to me? They gave me a few minutes of silence to understand the entire situation. Then Marco spoke again, "Alessia, I know you are pregnant, and we shouldn't give you too much stress, but this can't wait any longer." He sighed. His tone was very soft, as if he were speaking to a child. "Alessia, before taking you away from us, Nikolai snatched the throne of Mafia king from Dad. It is only because of him that our mother is not with us." Marco's gaze flicke
Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 90. Sign it over
I sighed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. It took me exactly half an hour to get ready. As I went downstairs, I found Marco and Dad already at the breakfast table, waiting for me. “Good morning, princess,” Marco greeted me warmly as he walked up to me and pulled me into a tight hug. “Good morning,” I smiled, wrapping my arms around him briefly before we parted. We then settled at the table to have our first meal of the day. As always, all the dishes were my favorites. Ever since I returned, my family has been going out of their way to take care of me—and the baby. Every little thing is done to make me feel safe and loved, and I appreciate it… even if, deep down, I still feel hollow. I am also trying to have all my meals despite how I am feeling inside.I visited the doctor two days ago. The report she gave wasn’t reassuring. The baby… it’s weak. Too weak. I need to reduce my stress levels and ensure I take all my vitamins and meals on time if I want to keep them safe. Th
Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 89. New beginning... or is it?
Suddenly, I heard a loud gunshot that shook me in my place. My heart pounded fast as the loud voice echoed from inside the mansion. I felt my heart come to my throat as I looked around. I couldn't stop myself from opening the door and stepping out of the car. The sound of another gunshot, followed by glass shattering, made me run inside the mansion. Because of my slippery feet, I almost slipped but managed to compose myself just in time. My surroundings blurred and turned dark as I ran toward the room where I had left Nikolai alone. The door was slightly ajar, so I pushed it open to find Nikolai with a gun in his hand, pressed against his stomach, his back facing me. "Nikolai!" I shouted. Slowly, he turned around. His eyes were filled with pain, such a deep pain that it tore my soul apart. Tears streamed down his cheeks, his eyes were bloodshot red, and his lower lip quivered. His shoulders slumped, and his face looked pale, almost lifeless. "Why are you here, Alessia?" he as
Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 88. Good bye
His body jolted slightly as the words left my mouth. It felt as if someone had struck him physically. "What?" He was completely surprised. His forehead wrinkled as his eyes flicked again between me and the divorce papers. "You are kidding me, right?" he asked in disbelief. "I am not kidding you, Nikolai. These are actually divorce papers. I asked Marco for help. He did and delivered them on time." I breathed; my chest felt heavy, "and let me tell you, Nikolai, it's my decision. No one has forced me into this. This is just to clear your misunderstanding." He licked his lips. His head cocked slightly as if he still couldn't believe his ears. For the moment, I shut off all the feelings of my heart. I was only listening to my brain. Slowly, he reached out for the papers in my hand. His fingers trembled slightly as he grabbed them. Silence spread between us as he slowly opened the file. His fingers trembled as they turned the first page. His eyes scanned the bold letters: P
Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 87. Divorce
The gun in my hands shook uncontrollably as he asked me to kill him. My eyes flicked between the gun and Nikolai, who was still on his knees. "What are you thinking about, Alessia? Go ahead," he whispered. "Just kill me," he choked out. His eyes were locked with mine. "I swear, I will not stop you. I will not even blink." He gasped, trying his best not to let the tears slip down his face. My throat constricted as I fought with my emotions.I couldn't move, blink, or speak. "This pain..." His voice cracked. His hand rose and pointed to his chest. "This pain of betrayal, YOUR BETRAYAL, it's becoming too much for me to bear." As if it were his breaking point, one hot, thick tear dribbled down his face and rolled down his cheek. The tear of pain. The tear I wanted to see in his eyes. The pain I wanted him to feel. But now that he was exactly in the state I wanted him, why was it hurting me so badly? Why does my chest ache like someone is tearing me apart from the inside?Why d
