Marrying the Mafia's Daughter Chapter 43 - It is What it is
MAVERICKSitting before Moses Braddson, the billionaire tycoon who owned Hover Company, gave me a different perspective about wealthy people. This man was intimidating as hell but also humble.“Where are your family from, Maverick?”“My grandparents are from around here. I was born and raised here, too. I don’t know about my father, not even his name.”The food was delicious, and he probably had celebrity chefs to cook for him. The dining room looked like a banquet to me. His estate was the biggest I had ever been, even bigger than Beatreigh’s.“My mother was the best, while my father was a son of a bitch patriarch. I almost turned out to be like him. Thankfully, I met the love of my life even though we’d only had a short time together. I still cherish it. And believe me when I say this. Money can’t buy happiness. Money is only to make your life better, but not a true fulfillment. Success isn’t measured by how much money you make. I’m happy right now because my son has forgiven me.” H

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.“
Marrying the Mafia's Daughter Chapter 46 - Connections
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
Marrying the Mafia's Daughter Chapter 47 - Set Up
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.
Marrying the Mafia's Daughter Chapter 48 - Realization
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
Marrying the Mafia's Daughter Chapter 49 - The Confrontation
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
Marrying the Mafia's Daughter Chapter 50 - Reconcile
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
