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.

IVY"Thank you so much, Ivy. I sincerely appreciate it from the bottom of my heart." Maggie said as I entered the room that she was in with her son."It's no problem. Your son doesn't deserve to suffer for you and your husband's sins." I told her.She began to cry and I honestly felt for her. I was curious to know what she sincerely felt in her heart. "We honestly didn't mean bad. Argon just wanted a new life for us all. His job was dangerous and I just wanted a normal family like every other woman out there. I know what he did was wrong. He shouldn't have betrayed Don but we needed the money to leave and start afresh in a place where no one knows." She explained, tears streaming down her cheek.I understood her although I wasn't in her shoes. I was in a similar situation and at the same time a different one. At first, I chose to act like Iris Silver for the money but now I'm being forced to pretend to be her against my will.Ever since I got caught in this life, I have been scared
Married To The Ruthless Mafia 26. His condition
IVY"Don't push me, Iris. Move out of the way."I was scared. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't. The way he looked at me was enough to kill me if looks could kill but for some reason, the tears of Steve made me stand still and firm."You were once his age. Imagine how terrifying it is for him right now. You also had a mother, imagine being snatched away from your mom, just how would you feel?""You have every right to punish the mother but putting the sins of the parents on the child is nothing but wickedness. Even if you don't want to, you can still leave the boy with his mother and take him when he's grown and can be alone but for now, do not deprive him of his mother."I knew my long words might not work but I hoped that it touched his heart for him to have a change of mind. For a second I saw his eyes soften but before I could decipher it was gone replaced with his hard glare. "So what are you? Some motivational speaker or what?" "I…""Not a word." He cuts me off, his index finge

IVY"No. You cannot take my son." Maggie cried out, pulling Steve closer to her so that Alejandro's men wouldn't take him away."Don't be stubborn woman. Let him go," Alejandro warned. He wasn't standing in front of her anymore. He was now seated where he first sat when he came into the room."You can't have him. He's a child. Please have mercy. Please do anything you want with me but do not take him," she cried but he was deaf to her tears.Staring at him only reminded me that this was the person he was. He was no different man. To think I was close to changing my perspective about him and thinking there might be a good side to him but it's evident there's none. "Bianchi, why are you still standing? Take the boy and lock her somewhere. She is giving me the irk with her loudness!" His tone was clipped, a hint of irritation laced in it.Bianchi yanked the young boy away from her and he began to cry. He tried to get off Bianchi's hold but he was too strong.

IVYMy heart skipped the minute Alejandro walked into the room. I’ve never been here before but that was expected considering I didn’t get the privilege to take a tour around the mansion yet. I didn’t know if I was a little excited because I hadn’t seen him in five days or for some other reason but I found him extremely good in my eyes. I thought it could be because he was dressed in a different type of outfit than I usually see him with. He wasn’t in his usual black fits but in a grey sweatshirt and sweatpants. “Don,” Maggie called as Alejandro took his seat.His eyes fell on me but he looked away almost immediately. I felt a little sad when that happened. He didn’t have the same look he had when he was on the hills with me.I quickly brushed away the feeling I felt in the pit of my stomach not wanting to dwell much on it.“You had called for me,” Maggie said.“Thank you so much for taking care of me and Steve. I appreciate it. It hasn’t been easy losing him but…” “And who said a
