Mafia's Rebellious Bride: His Forbidden Obsession 83. Secret Revealed
Alessia's POV The sound of beeping reached my ears and the smell of antiseptic stung my nose as I squeezed my eyes tightly. I tried taking deep breaths as the last incident played in front of me like a movie.My birthday. Surprise. Room.Photographs.Fire! My eyelids felt like a stone as I fluttered my eyes open. The first thing that came into my view was the white ceiling. I look around to find myself in a hospital bed. My heart came to my throat and panic jolted through my chest. "My baby!" I gasped, my eyes wrapping around my stomach. "My baby!" The monitor next to me started beeping erratically. A nurse immediately rushed to my side. "Mada,m breath, everything is okay. You are safe" she told me. "My baby," I cried, still not able to breathe properly. "Is my baby okay? Please tell me" She placed her hand gently on mine and nodded softly. "Yes ma'am. Your baby is fine. But it is weak. You pointed due to smoke inhalation and emotional stress." She told me "You are lucky t

"Next week, we are visiting the hospital for the abortion." His words echoed in my head. For a moment, I wondered if I had heard him wrong. Maybe I was hallucinating… but no, the look in his eyes told me otherwise. He meant it. Every single word. I blinked at him, incredulously. How could he even say that? Not even a minute had passed when he claimed the baby was his as well. The soft nature I had seen in the last few days replayed in my head, completely contrasting with the man standing in front of me. Was it all a drama? A manipulation? I cursed myself for thinking even once that he could change. The man who could kill his baby once could do it again. In fact, he was ready for it. "Are you even thinking about what you’re saying?" I asked after a long minute of silence. "I know exactly what I am saying, Alessia," he stated in a firm tone. "How could you even…" I was so surprised that I couldn't articulate what I wanted to say. "This is your baby as well." "I kn

When I reached the location, Marco hugged me tightly. "You don't know, Alessia, how stressed I was for you." I nodded. "Are you alright?" he asked. "I am fine, Marco." I licked my lips and looked around to make sure no one was watching us. It wasn't easy to come here alone. For the first time, guards didn't try to stop me. I am afraid it's another web created by Nikolai. If he is playing with me again, just the way he did with Dimitri. "We don't have much time," I told him. He nodded, understanding the situation. "Where is the black book?" he asked, getting straight to the point. I sighed and slowly reached inside my purse. My fingers trembled as I pulled it out. I hate my heart! Even though Nikolai has made his intentions clear to kill my unborn baby, my heart is still trembling at the thought of going against him. I inhaled deeply and exhaled sharply. I shouldn't forget that I am doing this for my baby. If I don't stand up to Nikolai, he will surely kill me

Alessia's POV Outside the mansion, the wind howled like a wounded beast, slapping against the windowpane. The clouds thundered as lightning flashed across the sky. The storm outside the mansion was wild, violent, and restless, just like my heart. I bit my lower lip as I tried to keep my emotions in check. I didn't blink as my eyes stared at the file in my hand; my fingers ran over the corner of a paper absently, but my eyes weren’t really reading anything. These are the exact papers that I demanded from Marco, and I received them this evening. I asked for them myself, but now that they are here, I didn’t know if I had the strength to go through them properly. I leaned back slightly; my mind was at war. After everything that has happened, this is the best solution for me and my baby, yet my heart is in ripples. I feel hollow inside. It wasn't supposed to feel like this. I feel so cold and alone. It seems as if my life is coming to an end, and the storm outside indic

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

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

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

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.

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

“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
