MAVERICK“Of course, honey. Go ahead.”“Here’s the short detail on this arrangement. I won’t go to the part where I would break—”“What the hell, son? Who is involved in this?”“Papa, should Estelle and I leave?” London asked.“No, honey. I know for a fact Lake has already broken the agreement, right, son?”He dropped his gaze instead of answering.“You paid her to be your wife. For how long?”I held my gasp. How did he know?When he did not answer Moses, I replied. “A year.”“And after that? You two will get divorced? Wow, son. You’ve sacrificed a lot to please your father? What’s left for you after that? What Beatreigh has to say about it? Or is my sister aware of this arrangement?”I nodded subtly.“Jesus Christ, Bea.” Moses shook his head in disappointment.“In Lake’s defense, he did what he thought was right. And I accepted the terms.”His eyes found mine, almost grateful.“Because I needed money. Yes, I married him for money. You can judge me all you want, but you can’t be mad a

LAKE“Maverick, wait!”“Let her go. She needs space.”I glared at Uncle Moses. “I need to—”“To apologize? You had the chance, and you blew it. Don’t worry, Homer will send her home. You, you stay put,” he ordered.As much as I hated that he was right, he made a point. “It’s your fault she left. You all can’t just keep your opinion to yourselves.”“She’s hurting, and don’t blame it on Papa. What the fuck—”“Language, son,” Uncle Moses chided Striker.“What the hell, cuz?”“I blew it up, okay. Happy now?” I got away from them, but Striker was still tailing me.“You mean, you screwed it up big time.”“Yes, I fucked it up, and I don’t know how to unfuck it. I might as well hire a divorce lawyer.”“Don’t be stupid and act impulsively. Your generation is so quick to decide on divorce, like changing clothes. I won’t let you do that. You married her because you’ve seen something in her that you didn’t see in the women you slept with.” He was right, though, but I wouldn’t admit that to him.“

MAVERICKA week ago, it had been an oddly emotional week. I didn’t cry, though, but things had been happening so fast.I hadn’t seen Lake since that dinner at Braddson estate, but he texted me every day and had an apology for every text. Though he never asked me to come home, I was grateful. If I were being honest, I missed him.If there was one thing I made progress, it was the freelance job Estelle and London offered me. They said to grab the opportunity when it arose, so here I was while not on trophy wife duty.I blinked rapidly because I thought I was going to be blind from flashes. This was my fifth change of outfit for the photoshoot, and my face was thick with heavy makeup, and I could barely open my eyes with false eyelashes.“I know sometimes it can be overwhelming, but you’ll get used to it.” London didn’t have to be here but stayed for the entire photoshoot.I felt like I only got this job because of Lake, and I hadn’t replied to him. I knew he would insist, and it was my

LAKE“Of course, there’s always a risk, and it could be dangerous, potentially used for malicious activities and act like us humans or potentially loss of jobs. Even smartphones are dangerous. AI is an advanced system that will make a greater impact on us and make it a lot easier if we only use it responsibly. I know people like us are scared of being replaced by a robot or AI will take over the world, like our finance and weapon systems. That’s why we need transparency and explore its limits. I am proposing this technology, to name a few— for efficiency, minimizing human error, digital assistance, and rapid, massive data analysis.”My uncle looked at the boards, reading their reactions and decisions. I was taking this risk to the board, who were mostly against using AI, but if I didn’t try it, another company would present this proposal.“We’ll analyze your proposal and give you the result as soon as possible, Lake, but we need to try your AI to see if it works better for our system.

MAVERICKAfter my coffee time with Beatreigh, it was oddly eye-opening. Lake could have possibly lost everything he had worked hard for years because of his decision and what he gave up. So, I followed his mother’s advice.I parked before his company building to surprise him at his office. Never had I thought of being the one getting the surprise.Anger slammed right into my chest the moment I recognized the woman who was holding his hand and kissing him on the cheek.That bitch.The unfamiliar ache in my chest settled and made me want to lash out and wring her neck until she turned blue.I fisted my hands as I turned back to my car and almost bumped into someone towering over me.“You’re not getting in there?”I met Owen’s gaze. “I changed my mind. My husband got a date, but he’ll probably be free next week.”“Don’t be ridiculous. That woman just came to him, and they barely talked for one minute outside the building. Do you trust me?”“Is there a reason not to trust you?”“No. Trust

LAKE“Why the fuck aren’t we moving, OB?”“Boss, it’s traffic at this hour.”I could see that and knew it, but why did I have to ask the obvious? Now Owen and Homer were making fun of me.“Have a little patience, sir. We’re almost there,” Homer said from the passenger seat.“We can avail a chopper if you’ll be in a hurry next time, boss.”I glared at Owen before I looked outside the window. The anticipation of seeing Maverick was killing me. I wanted to see her the Bazz, but Owen said she had changed her schedule, and Rocco didn’t want to give it to him without her permission.After thirty minutes, we finally arrived at my penthouse. It was quiet; only the lights in the living room were open. I noticed two racks of clothes and two boxes in the corner.“Boss, let us know if you need something. We’ll be at the quarter.”“Thank you.” I nodded at Homer.Once the door was closed, I checked the living room for Maverick. I didn’t expect to see her asleep on the couch with her book opened and

MAVERICKI was both shocked and terrified. I was shaking, and my emotions flipped my stomach to the point I wanted to throw up. The pain was horrendous. I ran towards the nearest bathroom, emptying my stomach into the toilet bowl.“Maverick?” He followed me.“I’m fine. Give me a second.” I got up and washed my mouth thoroughly.When I went to him, I was shocked to see that he was calm. I saw nothing but the worries deep in his eyes.“Are you okay?”I nodded and found myself lunging at him, hugging him tight. He needed that, and I needed it, and I instantly felt him wrapping his arms around me, hugging me back.“I’m so sorry, Lake. This happened because of me.”He chuckled, but I felt the heaviness in his chest. “I was about to say the same thing.”I pulled away and studied him. “He’s that hardass, huh?”“Pretty much, blaming everyone but himself.” He looked back at me, and then I read something.I shook my head. “I’m not pregnant. If that’s what you’ve been trying to ask.”“I’m not wo

MAVERICKI stepped back and opened the door wide as my invitation. He followed in, instantly cupping my head, and then his mouth was on mine. He leaned forward, gripped my hips, and kissed me hard.God, I hoped I wouldn’t regret this. We both needed this. Tonight, it’s just him and me having a good time. He tugged my hair and kissed me hard as he started walking me backward towards my bed.As if we couldn’t wait any longer, I pulled his shirt over his head, and he took off mine. Then I helped myself get off my pajama bottom and my panties, and he quickly took off his jeans and boxers.His naked body was perfection, and his thick cock was erect and proud. “Get in bed. Spread your legs apart.”“Bossy.” I groaned as I followed his order like a good wife. I lay in bed and watched him crawl and growl as I began to touch myself. I bit my bottom lip as I felt my arousal coating my finger.Before I could pleasure myself more, my hand was gone, and he took it to his mouth and sucked it.I suck

TERZOThe thick wooden doubled-door swung open to my father’s office. It was one of the biggest rooms in the house where business was discussed and where the most secured safe and panic room were situated, where he kept his most valuables.I was assaulted by the scents of cedar wood and expensive cigars hung thick in the air.I let go of a shuddering breath as I stepped inside. Gaetano Siciliano, the patriarch of the family, the Don— one of the most powerful and feared heads of the mafias in Italian history— my father was sitting in his chair before his massive desk. His thick brows knitted together, hanging low over his dark caramel eyes and gray hair cut stylishly. In his sixties, he was still fit, strong, and could beat me in the ring if he desired to, but he always humbly said his prime was over.“Figlio.”“Come va, papa?”Papa nodded in acknowledgment. “Come in. How’s your sister?”Standing in the left corner that caught my eye was Celestina, my other beautiful sister who had bee
Marrying the Mafia's Daughter EPILOGUE - A New Beginning
MAVERICKI smiled as we finally had time for each other. Atlas just fell asleep.Lake cupped my face and traced my lips with his thumb. “Thank you for making me complete, the happiest man on this planet, and for being my wife.”My heart exploded with his words with so much joy. “Ditto. Now, no more talking. Just get rid of your clothes.”He held his laugh, shaking his head as we began taking our clothes off. There was nothing much to strip off. I was in my sexy red lingerie, and he was in his pants.To be honest, our only problem was our time for both of us— most of the time while we were naked in bed, Atlas began waking up and started to cry.“I love you, baby.”I parted my lips as I watched the desire flicker in his eyes. He then dipped down, tagging my bottom lip between his teeth. He groaned as he pressed his hard cock against my lower belly and then cupped my ass as he finally captured my mouth in a passionate kiss, gliding his tongue inside, dominating me.Moaning, I instantly w
Marrying the Mafia's Daughter EPILOGUE - The Wedding
MAVERICKEight months later, Southampton I had a teary-eyed earlier as Cooper carried the precious angel I’d never thought I could love beyond anything in this world. He was five months old today and became the center of our universe. He was our ringbearer, and everyone, oh and ah, as he put on a cute little suit, while Nana and Beatreigh had been giggling since I walked down the aisle with my father, Gaetano.Like what he promised to my husband when Lake asked for the blessings he would be here, my friends and family, everyone I loved, including Terzo and Celestina. Lake did his luck inviting my mother. Surprisingly, she was here alone.“What’s in your head, baby?” the most handsome groom I’d ever seen smiled. He still took my breath away when he did that.After all these years of finding my perfect one, he came to me at the right time, even for the wrong reason.Then, our whole universe, Atlas Sawyer Bates Winston, came into our world, adding more colors to our lives. Sawyer was my
Marrying the Mafia's Daughter Chapter 185 - Mamma Maverick and Dada Lake
LAKE“Oh, my God!” My mother was the first to react, seeing the golf ball pop into blue smoke as soon as my uncle executed a stroke.“I knew it. Look at her abdomen,” Augustine said to my mother.“I told you, remember?” Mom seemed to find a new good friend in Augustine. They went to coffee or shopping together and sometimes baked at home. I was glad they got along so well. They were going to be excellent guides in raising our child.When we held our gender reveal party, Maverick was already six months pregnant. It was worth the wait. Everyone was here— our families, close friends, her friends from the Bazz, and, of course, our extended family.“You should promote my baby products, Maverick.”Amused, I shook my head at Estelle. “Give my wife a break.”“You’re the one who’s not giving her a break,” London replied. “She’s going to wear LH maternity dress for the photoshoots.“Congratulations, cuz.” Striker came to me.“Thanks.” We hugged each other.“Are you ready to be a father?”“I don

MAVERICK“Whoa. Why the long face?” I shoved a spoonful of butter pecan ice cream into my mouth as I watched Lake’s face seemingly in deep, miserable thoughts. “Babe?”“Yeah?” He looked at me, looking guilty.“Did you just cheat on me in that four hours?”“Baby, why do you always think like that?”“Lake, cheating doesn’t only mean you’re sleeping or kissing the other woman. Could be lying, keeping something important from me.”“I know.” He rose from the chair to join me on the couch. Then he pulled me close to him so he could hug me. “You like that?”“Yeah. You want some?” I scooped and offered, but he shook his head.“I want to tell you something.” I could feel the heaviness of guilt in his voice. Whatever he was about to say, I was sure he had reasons.“Shoot.”“I went to Nana.” It lightened up my chest when he called my grandmother Nana. One time, when he talked about my father, he called him Papa even though I still called Gaetano by his name.“And?” I met his gaze.“Your mother w

LAKE“She did not ruin your life. You ruined your own life by sleeping with the most dangerous man,” Augustine spat her anger out.I felt her anger towards her daughter was decades long, and she just had time to let it out of her chest.“You were only eighteen,” she added. “I had high hopes for you, but you disappointed your father. You were reckless and stupid and slept with a married man. You didn’t even know what care and love meant, and after you were gone for months, you came to me five months pregnant. Don’t blame your miserable life and poor choices on the poor, innocent child. She’s been through enough and all of that because you caused her so much pain.”“What do you want from my wife, Florence?”She lifted her chin. “I just wanted to meet her.”“Why now? Why not before when she didn’t have a mother at her first school recital? On her first time having a period? I’m your last to get out of here without being dragged into a van. Terzo is still in town, Florence.”She blinked t

LAKE“Are you okay?” I glanced down at Maverick working on her tan beside the pool.She looked pretty satisfied and comfortable in her yellow two-piece swimsuit and sunglasses, which shielded her eyes from the blazing sun.“Why do you keep asking me that?” She slightly lifted her chin.“Did you put enough sunscreen on?” I wanted to see her eyes but was disappointed that she kept her sunglasses on.“Don’t worry. I need more Vitamin D.” She strolled her gaze at me.“My Vitamin D isn’t enough for you?”When she saw me smirking, she slightly tipped her head down, glaring. “Not everything is about your dick, Lake. Going somewhere?”“Yeah. I’ll be back in a couple of hours.”“A date?”“Yes, Maverick. I have a date. You might as well put Airtag on me.”“Can you buy butter pecan ice cream for me?”“Of course. Anything else?”“Bring your cock back untouched.”I laughed, making her frown. “My cock is exclusively yours, baby.” I bent down to cup her face and kissed her on the lips. “I promise yo

MAVERICK“Linden made fun of me. He sent me every copy of the books he read while Estelle had their first baby, Gabrielle. I’m done reading the first two books.”“Is that why you’re so calmer than me because of these books?”“You may be stubborn, but when it comes to our unborn child, you’re very responsible. Hence, we never argued about it. We most argued about money and my spending on you.”“I did not tell you that I love the ring.” I raised my hand. It was a Marquise cut, the same size as my first engagement ring.“Thank you, baby. I have good taste, you know.” I found some meaning in his words.“I bet.”Once he was done eating, he went to a small fridge and brought two bottled water. He opened one and gave it to me.“Thank you.” I drank it.“Can you stay a little longer?”“Why? Isn’t a chairman and CEO has a lot of work to do?”“That can wait.” He stood before me, cupped my head, and kissed me hard.My hands came to his arms, gripping them as he deepened the kiss and shoved his to
Marrying the Mafia's Daughter Chapter 180 - What Happens in the Office
MAVERICKWe finally found out the gender of our baby this morning. I could see the joy in Lake’s eyes as the doctor told us. He was excited and couldn’t wait to meet our baby. He was even teary-eyed as he kissed my tummy.One thing he assured me was that he didn’t care about either a boy or a girl as long as our child was healthy, and I couldn’t agree more.On the other hand, I was a little bit scared of a lot of things, including labor and the pressure of being a first-time mother.I was still astounded at how lucky I was to be his wife. Aside from being overprotective and bossy, he was also thoughtful and loving.After Beatreigh, Nana, and I visited a bridal boutique, we had a late lunch, and then I decided to pay a visit to my husband, who was never invited to the Chairman and CEO’s office. The last time I planned on walking into this building was my confrontation with Wallace, but it didn’t happen.So, I thought I would surprise Lake.I knocked on his office door when Venus told m
