Lenka's POV

When that woman came, I didn't think of her as a guest I wanted to welcome, but I couldn't do anything to get rid of her.

She was present before me like a compulsion, which she did on purpose. Ava sat with eyes that looked confident. She was created with near-perfect beauty, so it's only natural for her to be overconfident. 

I felt tired just looking at her, especially considering what had happened recently.

Ava's eyes are so clear. She grew up full of love and had a strength that made her life comfortable. "You must feel surprised by my arrival." 

Something felt strange. 

Surprised and pressured, she showed me who really ruled this house. I was getting frustrated. 

After my fingers bent the book, I held it more firmly, and I managed to move my hand to write something down. [What brings Miss Ava here? Michael might not like her.] 

"Of course. Because he doesn't like me spending time with a troublesome woman like you." Her words were so piercing that I silently watched the woman.

I nodded, went back to writing, and showed her. [We're not supposed to meet, Miss Ava.]

I know that Michael loves Ava very much. It was too obvious, and I wasn't blind. Not just me but everyone in the house, including the servants.

My hand moved again to write something to her.

[Congratulations on your relationship.]

I didn't want to write that, but the uncomfortable feeling made me do it. 

I looked at the woman, seeing her suddenly smile. Her eyes sharpened.

She looked furious. "Are you insulting me?" 

I frowned. [I'm just giving you and Michael my congratulations.]

I wrote it down quickly. Isn't what I just did a compliment that should make her happy? 

Ava definitely doesn't want to lose to anyone. She always wants to be on top of everything. 

Everyone in this house doesn't care about my emotions, so I bottled them up like drowning in a vacuum. 

It gave me pressure.

I held my pen and book tighter. It was uncomfortable, and I wished this woman would leave here soon. I don't want to see her face.

Ava doesn't say anything. I can see her hands clenched into fists. She's still filled with emotion.

I remember the things she did, not wanting to go through what she did again in such a short time. My body still hurts.

My hand went back to moving the pen on the paper. [Miss Ava better leave. I'm tired.]

The woman hit the table hard. Emotions suddenly escalated severely. 

I looked at Ava, who was already looming over me, standing with both hands clenched tighter and tighter. She looked furious again.

"You're not polite at all. Realize your position!" she roared.

I winced, uncomfortable with her voice that seemed to penetrate my ears too profoundly.

One of her fingers pointed, pressing one side of my shoulder hard a few times. While speaking. "You're that, somehow very annoying in my eyes."

"You're a nobody here. Michael loves me. He's already given me the position of hostess, and you? I don't know." She snorted smugly.

I heard her speak, boasting of her status until her mouth should have been foaming at the mouth, but her gaze was still sardonic.

She shamelessly told me everything else I knew and also what I didn't entirely want to know. The woman looked proud.

She seemed to be done talking.

I opened another page, writing a response with a suitable nickname for her. [Very well, Your Highness.]

I was wasting my time just listening to her talk.

I was fed up. I just wanted to quickly end our conversation, which was more like a female monologue, and not face her again.

She was exalting herself to me, comparing our positions, when she didn't need to do all that to prove herself.

I already knew, but the problem was with someone else. Michael. That woman just didn't know or was being stubborn...

Still, I could see Ava's cold, condescending gaze on me.

That woman never gets tired of doing it.

She already had everything, a good life, including a mouth that could talk, but she still chose to annoy me.

I didn't understand what was wrong.

She asked me out initially, but it also made me feel like I couldn't respond appropriately to her words. We were clearly not on the same page.

My hand was suddenly sore.

The next thing I knew, my book had been roughly pulled out and slammed to the floor until it was torn apart. My pen was also thrown to the other side of the room.

I clasped my hands, blowing on them to ease the stinging sensation in my palms. The surface was already red.

"Stop writing!" Her words pierced my ears again. I just stared at him.

She pointed at my face. "You make me sick. That face of yours, the weird hand gestures, and now the writing, it's just pissing me off. You mute!"

I smacked my lips. She thinks I want to be like this? The sound was so exclusive that I knew I might never get it again. 

From what had happened before, I knew that fighting him was futile. I would just be the final recipient of the unpleasant part.

I didn't want to, but silence was the safest action.

She still had servants, while I had no one or anything to hold onto.

I was backed into a corner. I looked back at her.

The woman's gaze was sinister. "I'm sick of you. Who are you? How dare you ask me to read."

I paused. My emotions were running high, but I kept them in check. Should I show this writing on the wall? She wanted my response and was now being stupidly selfish. 

She exhaled harshly. "You."

I looked at her with my mouth clamped shut.

"I'll just get to the point." Her eyes looked even colder.

"I'll help you escape from here. Do you want to?" The thin, high corner of the right lip. 

How arrogant of her.

  • My Dear Mafia Boss' Remorse   Chapter 6

    Lenka's POV I stared at the woman. She looked confident, waiting for me to answer positively, but I had other interests. She did manage to guess my wishes. She was not blind in this situation. I exhaled as I stood and walked to get a pen and a torn-looking book. I patted the book. The paper was already wrinkled, and one side was almost split. What I was doing seemed to annoy Ava, especially because I seemed to be ignoring her words. I could hear her chattering but didn't look at her, choosing to write first. [Why do you want to help me, Ms. Ava? It's so sudden.] I realized that we had never been close to each other. In fact, the woman's attitude was closer to hating me than liking me. I wasn't much different, either. Michael was always by her side. Their mafia family was supportive and would become even more significant. She was considered perfect, while I was just an incomplete woman. I felt uncomfortable and sick. Her shoe marks were still visible on my scarf, as was the

    Lenka's POVAh, the sky looks so clear today…I smile slightly, feeling as if the scenery before me shares my happiness.There are only a few clouds, and even they only partially veil the sunlight. I close my eyes for a moment, feeling a slight sting from the sun’s glare, but soon open them again.A fitting atmosphere.I have left—the place where I was never appreciated nor needed.No more mocking servants, no gloomy chambers, nor the dreary sight of that man's residence.I feel no longing, only relief.In this world, I am alone.A few minutes ago, I was still there, and now I’m on a bus.A servant had led me through the back road earlier. With only a short distance to cover, I managed to get on the bus heading out of town.The rush of adrenaline surged through me. It felt almost unreal, as if this might not be happening—but it was.I had finally stepped out of the cage that had trapped me for two years.Liberating.A mix of emotions swirled inside me, too tangled to put into words.

    Lenka's POVWhy is something like this happening to me? I never intended to disturb him.I trusted him. I never had any doubts, yet once again, I was deceived and trapped.Before, I was inside a room. Now, I’m gasping for air, my chest burning as if it’s on fire.I’ve never felt like this before.I run, using every ounce of strength in my legs for the first time in so long. No. I’ve never even walked this far before.My legs feel heavy and sore.I’ve fallen multiple times, tripping over rocks and tree roots, crashing into low-hanging branches.My face feels stiff—not just from the stinging cuts but also from the cold wind blowing around me.I can’t take it anymore. My breath feels like it’s about to stop.Before I could fall again and add more wounds to my body, I stopped.I had arrived at a desolate place, surrounded by towering trees. There was no one around. Not even a single sound.I had no idea how far I had run or how much time had passed. The only thing that mattered was gettin

    Lenka's POVIt was hard to hear anything clearly because I had my hands pressed against both of my ears.Fear of death was embracing me.All this time, I felt like I wasn't a bad person. But now, accepting a situation like this, even though I know that evil will always exist in the world... that's why, when I found out Michael's true identity... I was disappointed.He was a figure in the most dangerous position...Now, I’m trying to survive this foolish act. That was the sound of a gunshot, but I didn’t feel any pain... I don’t know... I’m not so sure.It was too shocking.Staying still with my eyes closed might end very badly, but someone stopped the spiral of my fear."Miss, are you okay?"I could faintly hear the voice of a man. I loosened my grip on my ears slightly, but I remained hunched over.Oh, maybe they were just playing a game. I often heard from my father about the profiles of criminals. So, this could be what’s happening.My hands gripped my ears tighter, refusing to rai

    Michael's POVI threw the bottle across the room, nearly hitting the useless fools who couldn’t complete their task as I had expected.My mood was foul, and a deep sense of displeasure surrounded me.Leaning forward slightly, no longer resting against my chair, I glared at them, who dared not move from their positions—as they should. Their bodies and clothes were stained with blood and traces of whiskey.I was in no mood to tolerate trivial matters today."Useless," I spat, my gaze cold. "Have you still not found that woman?"The task should have been simple—tracking down someone who had fled. All they had to do was locate a person who had lived in this house for over two years. Yet, even after all this time, they had failed to bring me any results.It had been a week.My patience had run dry. I was sick of their incompetence—they should have completed this task much faster.Their target was nothing more than a mute woman. A helpless woman with no acquaintances, no connections to anyo

    Michael's POVThe woman stepped forward, completely unfazed by what I had just said. As always, Ava acted as if she was extraordinary and could do whatever she wanted.“Michael, you can’t do this. Remember, we have an agreement about our marriage,” she said.She placed her hands on the table, leveling her gaze with mine. “You know that the wedding has to happen soon—for the sake of our precious organization.”“I know.” My eyebrow arched. She talked too much.“You don’t need to remind me of something we’ve already discussed. If there’s anything else, you can talk to Diego about it.”The marriage between us would happen, but it wasn’t something I was in a rush to do. There were too many things to take care of—like overgrown shrubs that needed trimming. Even she, as his daughter, should understand that.Regardless, our marriage would serve as a solid foundation to strengthen the alliance between my mafia group and hers. And they were the ones who proposed it first.Sensing an advantage,

Let’s eat, Lenka,” the man invited.I gazed at Jonas, the man who had saved me, before slowly making my way toward him as he waited.Two main dishes were already set on the dining table—one for him and one for me—along with the meal he had prepared. It looked delicious, though I still couldn't fully catch its aroma.I wasn’t completely recovered yet, but during my time here, I finally remembered who Jonas was.I realized that I had seen him several times with my father. They were colleagues, partners in routine patrols and handling certain cases.Even though my father had only told me about him once, and we had only exchanged brief greetings whenever he dropped my father off, I still remembered his face well.He was still kind and warmhearted.I fell silent as another thought suddenly crossed my mind—about him and someone else who had cared deeply for me before they were gone.Maybe, just maybe… my father had sent him from above.

    Lenka's POVI pulled my legs close together, fidgeting with my fingers as a restless feeling stirred within me.My gaze drifted to the sky, searching for something new to focus on. The clouds were thickening and darkening—it was getting cloudy. But I also knew that the day was growing late.I had seen the sun begin its descent from its peak, casting fleeting shadows over the small garden at Jonas’ house. For a moment, the place was dim, until the automatic garden lights flickered on.I looked around once more. There were no other houses nearby, just a vast empty yard overgrown with wild grass and untended weeds.The only exception was Jonas’ garden, a small, well-kept space with lush trees along parts of the fence.From time to time, a gardener would come to tend to the plants and trees whenever Jonas was too busy to do it himself. But aside from that, no one else ever came here.I felt a little lonely, but this was far better than the overwhelming presence of people I didn’t want to

  • My Dear Mafia Boss' Remorse   Chapter 100

    LenkaIt’s been a long time since I’ve been here. In fact, I’ve only been here once before. I experienced so much fear, a deep trauma. And when I arrived at my father’s grave, I remembered that brutal murder.Jonas was the one who did it, if only I had realized it back then. He wore a mask and quickly stabbed my father, stepping on him, and everything I remember could make my head spin and make me want to vomit. Now, it’s a bit better; I haven’t felt that way in a while. In reality, it may be because Jonas is dead—my vengeance was fulfilled.But maybe this isn’t just about vengeance. The fate that tangled between us was truly unpleasant and intriguing, causing terrifying things to happen.I took a deep breath. I felt relieved because now I could be in front of my father’s grave, holding the gravestone, as if I was speaking directly to him.“Dad, forgive me for only coming here now.” I paused for a moment. I felt that Dad would definitely understand my actions. “Dad, this is my son, yo

    Lenka"Are you going to keep watching those ducks, Felix?"We sat under a tree, with a large lake in front of us and a line of ducks swimming. The sight was calming without us even realizing it.We had been watching them for a long time, and I didn’t think of it as an issue at all. It’s just that maybe Felix wanted to do something else. He had brought a book to read peacefully, and there were many guards around us.Michael seemed to be talking to Diego, while on the left, preparations were being made for something we could enjoy later."They’re doing the things they like. It must be fun for them, floating on the water." Felix spoke without shifting his focus. His hands remained on the book."Do you want to go on a boat?" I asked him.We could do that, and Michael would definitely go with us. Going on a boat together sounded fun; we hadn’t done it together before.Felix looked at me and gently shook his head. "No, Mom. I’m hungry."His attitude was so innocent and endearing. Just then,

    LenkaIt was a heavy burden, knowing that he had gone through so much pain. The truth was, Felix was still just a child — he should never have had to experience anything like this.The calmness he showed wasn't something to be happy about. He didn’t want to do anything.The specialists said he was dealing with trauma.On that bloody day, he had learned too much — far too much for someone so young to bear. He found out that his father was a mafia boss, and that the man he trusted was a killer. He had witnessed death itself.Terrifying things had taken root inside his mind, growing into a constant terror."What should we do?" Michael’s soft voice was full of concern as he wrapped his arm around me.Both of us turned to the doctor standing before us."Young Master Felix needs support from the people around him," the doctor said. "This healing process could take a long time, and your support is crucial."I already knew that... But every time I saw Felix's empty, lifeless expression, it to

    LenkaI had forgotten about her; I was too focused on the visible enemy, thinking the most dangerous one I was facing right now was Jonas.But the figure that had just whispered near my ear was this woman. It had been such a long time since I last saw her, and it froze me for a few seconds. She was another nightmare.She was Ava.She smiled at me, and that’s when she immediately grabbed my hand, pulling me into her reach. With the knife at my throat, I could feel the coldness of it, and it was terrifying.“Ava! You slut, what are you doing!?”Jonas shouted.“Let her go, Ava!” Michael commanded.This time, both of them were not focused on their fight but on me. It was so annoying to see Jonas pretend to care about me when he was the one who wanted me dead earlier.“Because this woman destroyed my life, I think it’s better if she dies too, don’t you think?” She glanced at Michael and Jonas alternately.“I should have killed you a long time ago.” Jonas spoke. He stepped forward, but with

    LenkaI always prayed and believed in Michael, trusting that he would keep his promise to me. Looking at myself in the mirror, even though my face was covered in makeup, it didn’t make me happy at all.My heart was pounding painfully. Felix entered the room and hugged me."Mom, is he a bad man?"Hearing his question, I actually didn’t want him to know about this at all. That’s why it took me a while to respond.Felix, looking at me gently, held onto my wedding dress. "Mom, you’re going to marry him.""Yes," I gently stroked his head, kissing his forehead. "Felix, stay calm and listen to them."Felix, who was silent, seemed to understand my meaning. I was sure of it because he was an insightful child. Then, before we left the room, he nodded. I became more at ease.My hope in Michael continued to grow; I wanted him to one day save me and Felix.Or, I wouldn’t hesitate to kill that man with my own hands once I made sure everything was in place. I didn’t want to lose anyone else besides

With so many people involved, he tried to make me question what actions I should take. Bringing in a large force would only make it easier for us to be attacked from another front.Have I ever mentioned the man who has the same face as Diego?I haven’t, not even Lenka knows about it—because he acted as the “cattle warden.” Living on a farm, it seemed like an incredibly peaceful life. But beneath the large barn filled with milk-producing cows, there was a hidden laboratory—for drugs and weapons.He was a warden, yes, but a cruel one.With the passage of time and the actions I took, that warden eventually left his cozy little spot and moved into the center of The Noctis' power. He became someone highly trusted today.Dalton—he was staring at me from the phone screen.“I’ll guard it well, boss.”He looked

When I found out there was another way out, I punched the wall over and over again.“Damn it, how could I not know this?”This house has stood for hundreds of years. I once heard from my father that my great-great-grandfather bought it when all his businesses were flourishing. But I’ve never heard anything about an underground escape route.I followed the path and ended up in a different part of the property. My men wouldn’t even be able to spot this from where they were.“Jonas… where did he get the blueprint for this house?” My voice trembled as I spoke, clenching my fists.I’m absolutely certain that not even my family knows about t

Something bad was starting to surface, and I wanted to know it now."Lenka, I already know we are destined to be together." He lowered his gaze, but I could tell he was still smiling widely. "You and I cannot be separated, and in two days, we will be married."Chills ran down my spine, my whole body shivered hearing his words."No... I don't want to marry you, Jonas. I don't want to because you're a bastard!"He remained calm, shook his head slightly, then hugged me and quickly released me."Lenka, it's useless for you to reject this because we will be married soon." He smiled."Get out!"I pointed at the door, my chest aching so much. With sharp eyes and a face red with anger, he responded with calmness."Alright, I'll leave now.

Two of his men moved closer and grabbed my arms. Instinctively, I shoved them off."Jonas! You truly—"My scream stopped short as I watched him put Felix to sleep using a handkerchief, covering the boy's nose with it."What are you doing!?"This time I lunged forward, grabbing his hand to take Felix from him. But Jonas held onto me tightly, restraining me with a strength I couldn’t fight. His men held me down."Lenka, this is what's best for him. Or would you rather he knows everything?"He touched my cheek with his index finger, wearing a small smile that felt like a thousand needles. Before I could curse him again, they started dragging me away."We have to leave now, my dear Lenka."We exited the room. I hoped someone would come to save us, that
