ALEJANDRO LEONE“What is your plan?” Matteo asked me. “What do you mean? What plan?” I asked back.“Your sudden niceness to Iris. It’s weird knowing that you’ve always hated the family. You can’t suddenly just change, or did you?” Matteo replied, explaining what he meant.I chuckled. “You are right though. I don’t like the Silvers and I will never not when I know they tried to kill me as a child.”“So what’s with the sudden kindness to her?” Matter asked, curiosity laced in his tone.“I’m going to use her,” I replied.“Use her? Can you enlighten me more on it?” He inquired curiously.“I’ve never told you this but I find something off about Iris. There’s just something about her that I cannot tell. I don’t know if she’s pretending to be nice but everything about her feels off from all I’ve heard about Iris Silver.” I explained.I haven’t failed to notice from the moment I saw her and the look in her eyes when she saw me kill those men. Iris Silver shouldn’t be scared and surprised. Pe

THIRD PERSON POV“I will make the call now,” Lorenzo Silver said to his brother Paul.“Alright,” Paul replied.They’ve been trying to reach Ivy for days but her phone wasn’t going through. After deciding amongst themselves, Lorenzo then chose to call Alejandro directly, wanting to see and speak to him. Alejandro was by the pool with Britany when Enzo came to him with his phone.“Lorenzo Silver is calling,” Enzo informed him. Alejandro was surprised. It’s been over a month since he got married to Iris and the family didn’t reach out to him. He didn’t mind it though.He left the poolside to go speak to Lorenzo. He was curious to hear what it was Lorenzo had to say to him.“Alejandro Leone,” Lorenzo said as soon as the call went through. “Lorenzo Silver,” Alejandro replied, using the same girl tone Lorenzo used.“Isn’t it too formal to address each other this way? After all, you are my son-in-law,” Lorenzo remarked.Alejandro cleared his throat. “True. So should I say father-in-law or

IVY“My Princess, I’ve missed you so much.” Carmen Silver said to me as she wrapped her arms around me for a hug. It was forceful and I could tell from her hold. Iris's mom hugged me while pretending she missed me. I’ve always felt a negative energy from her.Right from the moment she saw me, there was this disgust she had in the way she looked at me and how she spoke to me. It was evident that she was tolerating my presence or she was angry that her daughter was missing and my face wasn’t helping.“How have you been my little angel?” Lorenzo Silver said to me, stretching his arms towards me for a hug.It felt really weird having to act like Iris Silver as they hugged me. “It’s all for the money and your mom,” I said mentally to myself. “I didn’t think that you would come but I’m glad that you did. This means the past is behind us right?” Lorenzo said to Alejandro.Now that I thought about it, I had so many questions to ask Paul Silver concerning Iris's disappearance, Alejandro’s

IVYWhat have I gotten myself into? That was the only question I could ask myself as I listened to Paul speak."This was never… a part of the plan." I reminded him, my voice lower than I anticipated."The life of your mom is in your hands, Ivy. You didn't think you were just going to get married to him and stay there now did you?" His left brow quirked."But…""No. No buts." He cuts me off sternly."I just told you that he's a Mafia known as the Black Serpent, the man who possibly might be the one who killed my father. That's dangerous yet you want me to get information from him?" I scoffed in disbelief, my eyes filled with tears from the mess I had gotten myself into."Do you know how he treats me? He doesn't let me out of his sight and you want me to get information out of him and report to you? Did you not listen to the part where I said he took my phone?" It felt exhausting and whenever I felt exhausted, I'd want to cry.I was fighting back the tears that wanted to come out becaus

IVY"You took quite some time in the bathroom dear. Mind sharing what took you so long?" Alejandro questioned as soon as I returned to the garden."I…""I found her crying in her room." It was Paul Silver who spoke.Judging from the direction in which his sound came from, I could tell that he was behind me. He had come to save me from lying because I didn't know how to lie or what excuse to give that made me delay."Oh, my gracious. Iris, what is wrong?" Carmen Silver left her seat to come over to me feigning concern. She wrapped her arms around me but it didn't feel warm at all, it felt forced with how she firmly held my arms. "What's wrong honey?" She asked, I could tell she was trying so hard to tolerate me and the worst was I didn't know what I had done to deserve such an attitude from her."She missed home. It's normal for her to after all she has never been away for long. It's going to be alright princess. Lorenzo Silver said.Carmen pulled me with her to return to my seat. The

IVYI’d be lying if I said I’ve been able to close my eyes and sleep properly ever since Paul Silver told me of their plans and what they wanted me to do. That night when I returned home, Alejandro bade me farewell before going out separate ways. I tossed and turned on the bed and even cried silently until this morning.I had completely forgotten that Alejandro and I made plans to go hiking today. Although I didn’t feel like it, I couldn’t refuse when I received a text from Paul Silver reminding me of the mission with a picture of my mom in the hospital. I was wearing a lightweight breathable tank top, comfortable stretchy hiking leggings, and sturdy hiking boots. All of this was brought for me early this morning after Alejandro reminded me of it.“Come on,” I heard Alejandro say as he walked ahead of me. I adjusted my face cap before taking a few steps to catch up with him. As the sun dipped below the horizon casting a glow over the rugged landscape, we trudged along the narrow tra

ALEJANDRO"I didn't think that it would be so easy getting her to fall for my plans so soon," I chuckled as I explained everything to Matteo."What if this was also their plan?" Matteo asked.I shook my head. "I doubt that.""You sound confident though," Matteo replied."There is something about Iris. She's different but not in a good way and that's why I find it interesting that I will be toying with her for a long time. She might be a snake but I don't mind that.""The more dangerous they are, the more exciting it makes me feel. I will make her fall for me so fast and by the time I'm done making her fall helplessly, she will turn her back against her family," I informed him. "Brittany said Iris Silver is fire but this Iris is as calm as a flowing river. What are your plans henceforth?"I turned to look at Matteo with a smile on my face. "I appreciate your concern, Matteo. Iris Silver would fall for my trap because I will be wooing her henceforth. I will try and make her mine and ma

IVYI was in the garden taking a proper look at the mansion to give information to Paul Silver. They wanted a description of what Alejandro's mansion was like and asked me to send pictures if I could. He had told me to be careful and look around for cameras before doing anything that would make me suspicious. I sat in the garden, pretending to look around the beautiful garden while secretly taking pictures to send to them and deleting them immediately just as I had been informed. I was scared. My heart was racing as I did that as I imagined Alejandro appearing behind me and snatching my phone. I feared death but I didn't have a choice.Five days ago he had helped me calm my nerves when we went hiking. I've never felt so good before in a long time. I didn't think he had it in him to console me. I was scared for my life but those few seconds in his arms made me feel safe. The way he looked at me and his touch was soft warm and consoling. For some seconds, my heart raced faster than

THIRD PERSON POV"I knew he was sneaky but I didn't know that he would do that openly and we'd be too blind to see it." Lorenzo Silver said to his brother who had just informed them of the snake amongst them."He will regret ever thinking he could trespass us. He wouldn't have had the chance if Iris was smart enough with her love life and worse she got herself pregnant with his baby," Lorenzo complained bitterly.Now that he knew that Marcos was the snake, he was angry because not only did he have to get rid of him but also the father of his soon-to-be grandchild."We will have to make sure he regrets this. We must get rid of him. We cannot keep him. That's why he chose to help because he was the one who had stolen from us but the question now is how did he come to bear on our conversation? It's not possible he overheard us when the door is always locked and it's soundproof." Paul Silver asked."That's it. He couldn't have been in the room at that time because the key to the room is w

IVY"You have every right to hate me you know. I won't hold that against you. I'm not just going to act like I'm some good guy and you know that.""What do you mean?" I asked.I already knew that he wasn't a good guy. He's a mafia which means he cannot be the ordinary man that I'm used to. Could that be why some days he's good and some days he's bad to me? Because he's not used to such emotions? Seeing how he always came back after hurting me made me feel like I wasn't trying to see beyond what he usually showed me and I felt a little guilty.He's not used to such and it's new to me too. He came back last night and had taken care of me. Maybe I could make things get better. So far he has been the only one trying to put so much effort so I wouldn't give up on him. "I didn't mean to hurt…."When you feel that way, it's better you speak to me than walk out on me and also when you feel that way, it's okay to keep quiet and not hurt me. I was hurt. You called me names and it's more hurtf

ALEJANDRO"Fuck!" I punched the bag in front of me with so much anger.Why was I affected by the way I saw her and the words I said to her? Why did it bother me so much? Until I discover everything that she has in her sleeves, I didn't want to associate with her. I wanted nothing to do with her and I thought I'd be able to handle it until I saw the look on her face and how hurt she was.She has fallen for me. This was perfect, just as I've wanted it and I should be able to use that against her but somehow my head was going crazy and I just couldn't help.I kept punching the bag hand, putting all of my frustration on it."Fuck! Fuck!" I cursed out as I recalled the look in her eyes and how heartbroken she was.I should have used it to my advantage. Getting her to reveal all of her family secrets, take them down, and break her heart, would have been better but somehow I just couldn't.The fact that there was evidence that she might be dangerous made me so bothered. I couldn't let my gua

IVY"Did he seriously do that?" Maggie asked.I've been in her room all day. I was unable to sleep last night. My heart was shattered and broken when Al left me in my room after I thought we were going to make love.Maggie knows of my feelings for Al. I kept her informed on a few but not every detail so she knew that I liked him. I cried all through the night, feeling like my heart had been ripped out of my chest. It was heartbreaking. I expected him to come back to my room, to tell me that it was fine but he never did.The next day came faster than I expected and still unable to get rid of the heavy feeling I had in my chest, I took my heart and came over to Maggie's wanting a shoulder to cry on. Sylvia was on a week's leave.I was now to sleep for some hours over at Maggie's and when I woke up, she gave me some porridge to eat, telling me it would help me. She soon asked me what happened to her I hesitated at first because I felt so embarrassed so she told me not to bother and pro

ALEJANDRO LEONEI felt bad and I didn't like it. It wasn't in my nature to feel bad so why did I feel bad? Why did I stop? Why did I feel like a terrible person?I never expected that she'd be a virgin. I just wanted to fuck her and get it over with so that I could get into her mind and soul. I could already tell that she was head over heels for me. It was evident that she had fallen for me.The way she squirmed under me and how her body reacted to me. When she saw me and how excited she was. I have Iris Silver in my grasp. I should have been able to do it. Taking her virginity and breaking her heart would have been the best but somehow I couldn't do it.I wasn't planning to fuck her like someone I cared about. I didn't even have real feelings to care for her and that was why I was going to fuck her like some slut but then she turned out to be a virgin, making me confused and with so many questions in my head.I could have sworn she wasn't a virgin. She was a pretender. She had someth

IVYI was a little impatient as I waited for Alejandro to come over to my room. I looked at my wristwatch to check the time again, it was past eleven and he said he'd be there. It had been almost three hours since he said that.I felt a little bad that I was expecting too much when I shouldn't be. I decided to text him and tell him that I'd be going to bed when my door opened and Al walked right through I'm a two-piece sweat outfit. My body shivered with excitement as I ran towards him, as if he expected me to jump, he opened his arms for me and I jumped on him, wrapping my legs around his torso as he held me firmly."It seems you missed me." He remarked, a lopsided grin formed on his lips."What took you so long?" I asked inquisitively."I couldn't just leave you know? I had to do something and since I'd be staying the night here, I didn't want to have a reason to leave later on." He replied, melting my heart and making me smile even more. "Really?" He has never slept over in my ro

THIRD PERSON POV"Why do you exist if you won't do your job properly Paul!" Lorenzo Silvee shouted at his brother.It's been two weeks and a lot has been happening to the family. They've lost close to a billion and more than if they include the debt on ground over the past two weeks and they were yet to discover who it was that had betrayed them and cheated them.It all started when Lorenzo Silver had a massive drug business with the prime minister of the country and had promised him to pay up as soon as he had disturbed the drugs. Before that, he already took money from the buyers and they were expecting their drugs. The deal was worth close to a billion dollars. Lorenzo Silver put his brother Paul Silver in charge of the transportation to make sure that the goods were delivered to their warehouse so he could do some little checking before distributing but the drugs never came.After successfully acquiring the drugs from the prime minister and being close to reaching the warehouse,
Married To The Ruthless Mafia 42. Falling
IVYIt's been two weeks of nothing but bliss in my life. Two weeks without any disturbance from Paul Silver reminding me of my work as a spy here and also two weeks of making good memories with Alejandro.I wonder why Paul Silver hasn't called or if they've forgotten me. He hasn't replied to my last message. I sent a few texts about my mother, it showed that the message had been delivered and read but no response.I might be a little selfish but after days of worrying, I chose not to and to enjoy my moments with Alejandro. We've been bonding a lot more after dinner and the little kiss we shared after he dropped me off in my room.After that day, we usually share small kisses here and there. I felt like what we had going on might feel rushed but he was taking his time, and he was gentle with me.I haven't seen him angry in weeks. He was always coming back home with either a cake, fruit salad, or anything edible that he knew that I would love because I love to eat.Just last night, I ha
Married To The Ruthless Mafia 41. Dinner
IVYWe were currently in a restaurant in the city to have something to eat after we left the skating rink. It was so much fun. I wasn't able to get it but I knew that I would sooner or later. Tonight was perfect. The way he looked at me, the way I looked at him. The way he spoke to me too. The way we laughed and how our hands brushed one another.It was too good that I had forgotten who I was pretending to be and enjoying myself. I was enjoying myself as Ivy, not Iris. At first, I felt bad but I told myself that it wouldn't be bad for me to let myself enjoy the moment after all I didn't have to suffer all the time. "So what would you like to have?" He asked."I'm not sure yet. I'm still looking at the menu. I'm a little confused about what to have though. I'm thinking. A lobster thermidor wouldn't be a bad idea.""Alright then. I will have anything that you want to have. Tonight is all about you." I felt my cheek flush when he said that. I love how he has been speaking to me all n
