My Mafia Dominant Is Back 22. Another Spanking Experiment
Lyla's blue eyes glared defiantly at Carlo as she bit her lip, standing her ground while slowly attaching the sensors to her head.The monitor flickered to life, showing a blank graph with a faintly fluctuating line. She turned, hands braced on the table, leaning slightly forward.“Go ahead,” she breathed deeply, “I’ll prove you wrong.”In the next instant, she felt herself pulled into a firm embrace, spun around until she realized she was draped across Carlo’s lap. Her stomach pressed against his knees, legs dangling over the edge, forming a near-perfect 90-degree angle. The skirt she had carefully chosen for dinner now draped over her knees, its thin fabric tracing the curves of her body.“How dare—” "Smack!"Carlo’s hand struck her backside. “Shout any louder, and I’m sure those diligent students left in this building will hear you.”Humiliated, Lyla flushed a deep red. She knew Carlo wasn’t bluffing—there were probably still people in the building, and the thought of them hearing
My Mafia Dominant Is Back 23. A Naked Truth
Carlo’s hand slowly trailed up from her sore backside to her hair, stroking Lyla’s trembling body as if soothing a frightened kitten.After a long silence, he spoke, his voice much gentler than before. “Lyla, you were wrong.”“Yes, I was wrong,” Lyla obediently nodded.“No, what I mean is—you were wrong,” Carlo repeated, lifting her chin gently to make her face forward.In front of her, the equipment screen lit up, displaying a blank coordinate grid. Now, a winding line appeared, wavering slightly but showing an overall slow and steady rise.Lyla knew this experiment well enough to understand exactly what it meant.Her earlier guilt disappeared, replaced by an overwhelming wave of shame as the undeniable truth stared her in the face.Carlo had been right. She was wrong. If she truly believed in science, trusted that experiments didn’t lie, then she had to admit the truth. She enjoyed being controlled and had, in fact, felt a certain pleasure in the measured pain.Carlo's hand slid fro
My Mafia Dominant Is Back 24. He Left Without a Word
Lyla’s terrified and helpless eyes darted to Carlo, who seemed to have already anticipated her thoughts. Before she could react, he wrapped his arm around her, swiftly lifting her and spinning them both behind a set of curtains in the corner. A row of metal cabinets holding old materials stood there, blending into the background. Carlo gently set Lyla down. She hastily pulled up her underwear and tried to shrink into the shadows, wishing she could disappear.At that moment, Liam entered the lab, phone in hand, walking straight to Chloe’s desk—Chloe, another researcher in their group and also Liam’s girlfriend.“Next time, remember to keep your keys with you instead of making me run out here in the middle of the night to find them,” he said into the phone with a hint of frustration. Just as he was about to leave, he paused, his gaze drawn to the screen of the lab equipment.“Chloe, did you run any tests with a participant this afternoon?” Liam asked, moving closer to the equipment.“N
My Mafia Dominant Is Back 25. Her Life Changed Completely
That was the last time Lyla saw Carlo three years ago.Now, sitting at a café near the entrance of Westhaven College, where she now teaches, Lyla cradled a cup of hot latte, her mind far away. Hudson had offered to pick her up and take her to the location Carlo had designated, but she refused. She chose this café, right across the campus entrance. Three years ago, Carlo had vanished from her life without a trace, leaving her to wrestle with self-doubt and confusion, trapped in a cycle of pain and desire in her dreams.Three years later, she would not let him hold that power over her again.Lyla often found herself replaying memories of their time together. She couldn’t forget the day after Carlo’s abrupt departure when she locked herself in her dorm room all day, refusing to face the world. But eventually, she had to attend her evening lecture. Walking into the classroom, she was met with the heated buzz of gossip."Did you hear? Jessica killed someone."“Killed someone? When did this
My Mafia Dominant Is Back 26. Unpleasant Reunion
Seeing that smile, it felt like someone punched Lyla in the chest, leaving a heavy pressure behind. She had wanted to question him about why he had disappeared so suddenly and why he had just as suddenly reappeared, but now, she no longer felt the desire to ask.She feared being deceived, but even more, she dreaded his evasive and cryptic answers that would drag her back into a whirlpool of pain."What do you want?" she asked, her tone cold and composed.Carlo remained nonchalant. "I forgot to return something to you." He leaned down, picking up a sleek laptop bag from beside his feet, and placed it in front of her.Lyla quietly unzipped the bag, already knowing that inside was the laptop Carlo had dismantled three years ago.Without even bothering to check the contents, she zipped it back up, a bitter smile forming on her lips. "Thanks, but I’ve already bought a new one. I don’t need this old one anymore."At that moment, a waitress arrived at their table, carrying a tray. She placed

“Ah, so you’re mad because of that waitress?” Carlo’s face lit up with a look of mock realization, but it was so exaggerated that anyone could tell he was faking it. The only genuine thing was the smug smile plastered on his face. “I only gave her my business card. Are you jealous?”Lyla felt like a needle had just pierced her heart. She tried to suppress her emotions, keeping her voice cold as she replied, “No. What I’m saying is, if you hurt any of my students at this school, I will call the police.”“Hurt them?” Carlo let out a chuckle. “It was just a business card. How could I have possibly hurt her? I can give you one too, if you want.” He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out an identical card.“I don’t want it...” Lyla started to refuse, but her eyes caught something on the card that surprised her. Furrowing her brow, she asked, “Wait a minute, who’s James Donovan?”“Who knows,” Carlo shrugged casually, “someone stuffed it in my pocket at a party, I guess.”It felt as if t
My Mafia Dominant Is Back 28. Carlo Witnessed that Kiss
That evening, Lyla went to the movies with Lucas, as planned, but she couldn’t recall much about the film. Her mind was consumed by thoughts of Carlo’s sudden reappearance, leaving her restless throughout the night.She found it impossible not to wonder where Carlo had been for the past three years. Yet, another part of her knew she should let go of this dangerous man once and for all. The dim light of the cinema blurred her thoughts, and by the time they left, her mind was still in a haze.“What’s wrong?” Lucas noticed her distracted demeanor, gently taking her cold hand in his.Lyla didn’t pull away like she usually did. She forced a smile and shook her head. “Nothing, I’ve just been tired these days.”“Is it because of the assistant professor application?” Lucas asked. “Don’t worry, you’re incredibly qualified. Your application is solid. It’s just a matter of waiting for the committee to approve.”“Yeah,” Lyla nodded absentmindedly.“I’ll drive you home,” Lucas smiled, guiding her
My Mafia Dominant Is Back 29. A Forced Kiss
“Are you stalking me?” Lyla demanded angrily.“I’m too busy for that,” Carlo shrugged dismissively. “I’ve been waiting here the whole day.”“Waiting for me?” Lyla scoffed, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “I’ve moved on. I don’t need anyone waiting for me.” She emphasized the phrase " waiting for me". With those words, full of hidden meaning, she turned and started walking away without looking back.“If that kiss had made you happy, I would’ve left without a word and never bothered you again,” Carlo’s voice echoed behind her.Lyla’s steps faltered. She turned around to find Carlo leaning against his car, holding a tissue. Even under the dim streetlights, his serious expression was clear—gone was the playful nonchalance he usually wore.After a moment’s hesitation, Lyla walked back toward him. She forced a smile, trying to appear unfazed as she took the tissue from his hand and wiped the remaining tears from her eyes.“I was happy,” she said with a hollow laugh. “He asked me to be his g
