Married To The Ruthless Mafia 1. The Job offer
IVY “Miss Anderson, we can’t keep her on these medications any longer unless you at least pay up your outstanding bills.” “I promise you, I’ll come up with the money as soon as possible, please just give me more time.” “You’ve been saying that since last month Miss Anderson, I am sorry but this is as far as I can go, it is out of my hands now and if you don’t pay up by tomorrow, she will be taken off the medications.” “B-But you said she would die if she…” “I am sorry but there is nothing more I can do.” The sound of the line disconnecting made my heart race with fear. Five good months since we found out about Mom’s stage four cancer and our lives have been nothing but torture ever since. Even with all the part-time jobs in the world, I was still unable to come up with anything, the cost of the medications was just too much compared to my paycheck. My back slammed against the locker in the workers changing room as I crumbled to the floor, my chest heaving heavily as I fought ba

IVY“We can’t talk here, come with me.” He said as he stretched out his hand to lift me off the ground.I had no idea if it was the way he talked or the aura around him but I know I absentmindedly placed my hand in his and let him lift me off the floor.Getting into a car with a total stranger was something I didn’t ever see myself doing but for some reason, I got into his car with him and his driver drove away from the club. He didn’t say a single word to me, no matter how many times I asked who he was and what he wanted with me, he just kept staring out the window and tapping his fingers on his thighs gingerly as if he was worried about something.As soon as we drove past a large black gate and what was a beautiful, private park, a breathtaking mansion came into view. The whole place was bathed in ethereal lights and even the fountain gave off some kind of glow that didn’t feel real.Was I dreaming? “Follow me.” The elderly man who had now introduced himself as Paul said as he alig

IVY“Don’t forget, you’re now Iris Silver and you have been raised in wealth your entire life, do not for any reason reveal anything about your life to him, and remember everything I’ve taught you,” Paul said as we pulled up in front of a beach house.The last two days, I had been taught everything about Iris Silver and trained to dress and act exactly like her. The emerald green dress clung to my body and I looked so much different than before, like a true heiress that there were no traces left of the girl I once was.Everything, down to my cell phone had been wiped clean and I now had a new identity.“You’re Iris Silver and you must embody her through and through, one little mistake and everything goes sideways, do you understand?” Paul asked as he led me into the beach house and I nodded.He was intentionally holding back the details of what was going on. When I asked what was happening, he simply replied that I was aware of what I needed to know and not aware of what I didn’t need

IVY My heart felt heavy. I was struggling to breathe because of the thick tension in the car. He hadn’t glanced my way since we entered the car and I dared not glance back not after what I had seen earlier. He killed those men in front of me like it was nothing. I didn’t fail to notice the satisfied look in his eyes. I’ve never seen anyone so comfortable killing nor have I ever witnessed seeing anyone being killed. He hasn’t said a word to me and while I preferred it that way, I was heavily disturbed. After what felt like forever, the car came to a stop. I hadn’t realized because I had slowly zoned out, thinking about my life. My blindfold were removed as he made sure i was blindfolded as the car began to drive. i ooked outside to see where it was that I was. It was a mansion. Before I could comprehend further, Alejandro was standing outside of the car. He opened the door and in a stern tone he said, “Get out.” Without hesitation, I got out of the car, my hands shaky a little

NOTE: DUO POV IVY “The Black serpent?” I uttered the name that sounded so familiar. I have heard it before but I couldn’t recall where and why the name made me shiver. “I didn’t say anything to you. Please save me by refraining from doing anything that would cost my life,” she said pleadingly and I could tell from her tone that she was scared. She didn’t see as bad as I thought she would. Could that be why she asked the other maid to leave? Could she be here against her wish? “He…” She cuts me off. “It would do you more good than harm if you do as told. At the end of the day, the Silver family is nowhere as powerful as the Leone family.” With that said, the maid left the room leaving me alone. I crumbled on the floor in fear. “What have… I don’t to deserve it?” If they had told me this was how it was going to be then I would have refused it no matter how desperate I was for the money. This life I had chosen was worse than hell, I didn’t need to stay in here for more
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-03Married To The Ruthless Mafia 6. Bloody Alejandro
IVY "My life is hell!" That wouldn't be the right way to describe it because it was worse than hell. Two weeks in this mansion without seeing the outside world. Two weeks of feeling suffocated and wanting to die. Two weeks of not doing anything I want to do and being treated like a puppet. After I was finished crying, I sat on the bed while hugging my knees. I was close to losing my sanity. I hopped off the bed in need to take a stroll even around the mansion to be sane because I was close to losing it. As soon as I came out of the room, the guards standing outside of my room stared at me with a questioning facial expression. "You can come alone. I just want to stretch my leg," I said to them. One of them nodded their head in denial. "I'm not running away, I just need to stretch my legs. I've been indoors all day," I pleaded before taking the bold step to walk away. The men followed from behind me. The closer I got to the stairs, the more I heard noises. I wondered

IVY “What do you mean by you want to help him? What do you think this is?” The man questioned, a scowl masked on his face. “I… I can help him,” I said to him once again, my eyes fixated on Alejandro’s bleeding arms. “He will die if something isn’t done to his arms and I don’t know how long it will take for help to come,” I added, boldly looking into the eyes of the man who was holding Alejandro. “If you make any mistake or do anything stupid, I promise that I will kill you myself so now I need you to tell me if you are certain that you can do something to stop the bleeding?” He questioned sternly. I gulped the lump in my throat before answering, “I can.” He stared at me for some seconds as if contemplating if he should give me the chance or not. “Alright, follow me.” He said before placing Alejandro on the couch for me to attend to him. Judging from the look of the injury, it was evident he got shot. “Do you have any medical equipment? Like anything I can use?” “E

ALEJANDRO I struggled to get out of the pressing and suffocating state that I was in because someone was pressing me inside the water so that I wouldn’t be able to escape and eventually die. I tried to swim, to move my body, to bring my face to the surface so I could breathe but I was unable to. He was far stronger than I am but that was expected for an eleven-year-old boy. I have never been so scared of water. I couldn't open my mouth to scream or I might end up swallowing some water, getting choked by it, and end up passing out. I couldn’t breathe. Could this be the end? I was slowly losing consciousness. My heart was hammering in my chest as fear gripped me of the sad reality that was about to kick in. Slowly my eyes blurred. I didn’t want to die. I was only eleven and I didn’t deserve to die. “Someone… save me..” those were my last words before I succumbed to darkness. I woke up panting in fear with sweats on my forehead. I heaved a sigh of relief when I realized

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
Married To The Ruthless Mafia 25. Her voice
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. Two other men present in t
Married To The Ruthless Mafia 24. He's back
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
Married To The Ruthless Mafia 23. Meeting Maggie
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
Married To The Ruthless Mafia 22 Falling into place
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’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

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
Married To The Ruthless Mafia 19. What a mess!
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
Married To The Ruthless Mafia 18. Family dinner (1)
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
