I frown, seeing Anaya’s smile drop while clutching her phone tight. “Is everything all right, kitten?” I asked.

Her head snapped, “Y-yeah it is. I will see you soon, Nicolas.”

“Anaya, I hate liars,” I said, struggling to contain my rage. She is lying. “You’ll be my wife, and you should know that I don’t put up with liars. Am I understood?”

“It’s nothing really,” she stiffened, “but today is my adopted mother’s birthday.”

A small sigh escaped my lips, and Anaya’s sorrowful gaze met mine. Despite not being sure what I could do in the situation, I squeezed her hand and said, “I am here for you.”

“Anything more?” I asked.

She pursed her lips. “No,” she replied.

I had to put in more effort to win her trust, given that I knew she wasn’t being truthful. Also, I will respect her space as she has respected mine. If something big was amiss, she would tell me, I am sure.

“See you soon,” I said, smiling. She wrenched the car door open and proceeded to her house. I waited till she

    Anaya A week has passed since Nicolas and I visited his cabin. After that, he took a flight to Spain and hasn’t been back since. He texted to let me know he was leaving Italy for a week and that I should exercise caution till he gets back. I smiled as soon as I finished reading his text since it was such a wonderful gesture. I must confess that I am missing his presence. I miss his irritating smirks, his relentless mocking, and his attractive face. His absence reminded me of how much he had influenced my life. During the previous week, he sent me a message once or twice, but it was insufficient. However, I know he is a very busy man. Aside from that, I don’t want to hear any gory details about his organization. I sighed as I strolled through my father’s library, running my hands over the hardback old volumes. I’ve never seen a library as large as the one he owned. I adore reading and the beauty of literature, so spending time in the library provides me with some stability. Books hav

    Nicolas I groaned. Finally, I’ll be back home tonight. This entire week was chaotic. I was savoring the stunning view of the city from the balcony of my apartment in Porto, Portugal. I smiled while sipping my wine. It’s no surprise that this city is famed for its wine. Such exquisite taste. I hoped Anaya would try this. As for Anaya, I sent her a text letting her know I will be returning. She didn’t respond, though. Suddenly, a knock distracted me from my thoughts. An athletic, tanned woman entered the room. She chewed her lip seductively. “Mr. Ricci, your security has notified you the jet is ready.” I turned away from her sultry look and nodded. “Inform him I will be down in a minute.” My reply left her in a state of shock. Normally I would have fucked her brains out, but since I had spent some time with my kitten, I compared them with her. I decided I had better get a handle on the problem because it has already confused my thinking. Anyhow, when I am married to her, I have to qu

    Anaya Nicolas held on for dear life. He had me nearly glued to his side. The strange tingling in my belly returned. His actions have left me perplexed as well as blushing. My father grinned as he sat in front of us. “I’m content now,” my father grinned. Nicolas and I both found his words to be confusing. “What do you mean, Papa?” I asked. “The way Ricci reacted just because you did not answer his phone call persuaded me that I selected the ideal man for my daughter,” dad remarked proudly. “He will keep you safe.” “Rest assured, Viler, I will always protect Anaya no matter what,” Nicolas declared. “My wife deserves that.” My father reminded him that “She is not your wife yet, Ricci.” I can see that he was pulling Nicolas’s chain since he knew how much Nicolas detested being called out. His jaw tightened. “We will rectify that soon. We will marry as soon as Anaya is ready.” “Hmm... amid the ruckus you created, Ricci, I forgot Anaya was talking about something important to me,” fa

    Nicolas As the light filled my room, I groggily got up. After my conversation with Viler regarding his bringing Anaya to the ball, it was tough for me to fall asleep. The entire night, I tossed and turned. The nightmares did not make the already uneasy sleep any better. I had only gotten three hours of sleep. But I am accustomed to such low hours of sleep. I looked at my alarm and saw that it was six in the morning, the ideal time for a workout. I used the restroom to take care of business before rushing to the gym. I exercised and boxed with one of our guys. Sparing gives me an adrenaline rush. Since I have an early meeting, I had to end the session early. I was soon ready to head to the office. I walked into the dining area for a quick breakfast. Where I was met with an almost zombie-looking sister who was grumbling because I woke her up early in the morning. She was to accompany Anaya for some shopping. I shouted, “Breakfast, Nina!” Nine is our cook who rushed to the kitchen to

    Anaya “Now that we’re alone,” Lucia remarked, wriggling her brows. “What’s going on between you and my older brother? Tell me everything.” “Nothing is going on,” I answered, attempting to cover my blush from Nicolas’ whispers in my ear. She snorted, “I won’t be fooled, so please stop. One thing you should know about me is that I find out anything I want to know. Sherlock Holmes is nothing compared to me!” I pursed my lips as I tried to come up with a way to get her to stop asking questions. “I believe we should get going.” “Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Anaya, we need to work on your lying skills or you will be slaughtered out here,” she chuckled. “I don’t have to lie. In any case, Nicolas doesn’t like liars,” I said. “Oh, so if Nicolas doesn’t like something, you won’t do it,” she sang. “Lucia, stop teasing me, please,” I groaned. She chuckled. Both brother and sister have too much fun on my account. “Cia. Call me Cia,” she smiled. “You will be my sister-in-law. Therefore, no formalities.”

    Nicolas Adrian answered, “I deciphered the file and discovered a few random places. I have mapped them out for you and sent the information to you on our secure server.” I said, “Good work,” and then I ended the conversation. “Ben, I want everything you can find in that file.” “Yes boss,” he replied. “I’m in my office. I have some plane footage to work on now. And bring me the locations that Adrian has sent,” I replied. He nodded and walked out of my office. I sighed and sat down in my seat. After a little while, Ben handed me the location information and sat on the couch with his papers. It has been a while since Anaya and Lucia have been shopping. I hope things are working well between them. I did not want to disturb them so I concentrated on my work trying to find a connection between the locations. But I came up empty-handed. They spread the locations all around the world. I think we have to send someone to every location so that we can have a better understanding of their ex

    Anaya I hissed. “I am sorry. Did I hurt you?” Cia asked. I smiled as I peered behind me. “No. I am all right.” “It’s settling wonderfully,” she murmured as she traced her finger over my burned back. She yanked her hand away after another hiss from me. I laughed as I said, “It should heal, since you’re taking care of it.” Since I burned my back three days ago, she has visited my home every day. That night, she and Nicolas came to see me, and she designated herself as my nurse, taking care of it, helping me get dressed, and applying the ointment to my back. She smiled. “I have to look after my best friend. And if I don’t my brother will turn nuts if I don’t take care of you.” “So you are doing this for your brother and not me? I am hurt,” I fake gasped as I tugged my shirt down. We laughed. We both washed our hands before sitting in my room. During the last few days, we have spent considerable time together. She has shown me what it is like to have a friend you can rely on. When

    Nick I could hardly wait to see her. After hearing her being scared, I could not control myself. I had to see her. I repositioned my watch and made slight adjustments to my pocket square. Cia insisted I wear this color. My attention was drawn to the clicking motion of the heels. When I turned around and saw her at the top of the steps, my heart stopped. If someone ever asked me if I had seen an angel, I would remember this moment. She appears to be the pinnacle of beauty. She was dressed elegantly in a champagne-colored off-the-shoulder gown with a high slit on her left leg. Her face had glamorous makeup, and she tied her hair in a bun with a few tendrils of hair falling on her neck. Her ears were studded with diamond studs, and she gripped her clutch tightly. I couldn’t resist pulling her to me as she descended the steps. “You look wonderful,” I whispered in her ear. A shutter raced through her. She said with a smile, “You don’t look half-bad yourself.” I wanted to capture the mo

  • My Mafia Husband   Epilogue

    6 years later... Nicolas I brushed my fingertips over the name ‘Emma Ricci’ on the tombstone. The words ‘an amazing mother and human’ were written in capital letters below it. My mother. Even after all these years, I still miss her with all my heart. I whispered, “Maa, I miss you,” and laid the flowers Anaya had picked this morning from the garden on the grave. I am sure that my mother is resting with angels. I looked to my right and saw three more headstones. While searching for Scar, I learned more about my other half-siblings that he had killed. I never managed to locate their remains, but I was able to establish some momentum in their memory. I may never meet them, but I pray they find peace in the hereafter. I smiled and walked back to the house. The wonderful aroma of coffee drew me to the kitchen, where my beautiful wife was brewing coffee. I smiled and hugged her from behind. “Hi, kitten,” I whispered in her ear and kissed her neck. My hands stroked her stomach. She shutt

    Anaya I was floating in complete darkness. My body felt as though it was fastened to a harness. I tried to get down, but I could not. I held my hand out to touch something, but it was just a whole lot of nothing. I was about to give up when I overheard a toddler babbling in the distance. I turned to glance around when I saw a kid crawling away from me. He moved away on all fours while wriggling his adorable bum, so I was unable to see his face. It felt like the child was calling out to me as the he kept babble-babbling in his child’s language. I pushed myself to follow the child. And soon I was swimming towards him. “Hold on, little one. Where is your mama?” I questioned, but the child picked up his pace. I huffed, “Stop running, baby. We need to get you back to your mama. She might be worried!” The infant babbled again, and soon I heard him laugh. I could not help but smile at the sweet laughter of a child. I must admit that seeing him laugh made me happy. As though my maternal

    Nicolas “Noooo....” As soon as I noticed Anaya tumbling to the ground, I yelled. Everything was moving in slow motion for me. She had pushed me aside, taking a bullet that was meant for me. I turned to face the culprit. The blood that was pouring out of his mouth did not hide the smirk plastered on his face. He was holding a gun and pointing at her. I yelled in anger and snatched the gun out of his hand and he looked me in the eye. “You are no human. See you in hell, Scar,” I said and shot him in the middle of his forehead. His blood splattered on the floor as the bullet tore through his head. I shot him repeatedly until I felt someone grab my collar. I spun around to see a distraught Cia pleading with me to look at Anaya. I turned around and spotted Cia, Ben, and Adrian with several of my men. I’m not even sure when they walked into the room. I looked at my wife, who was bleeding on the floor and struggling to keep her eyes open, as I recovered from my vengeful daze. Her eyes were

    Nicolas I grumbled and drew Anaya closer to me. Even though I was awake, I didn’t want to leave the warmth of my wife’s body. She exhaled and snuggled deeper into my chest. I opened my eyes and her naked body pressed against mine stirred my friend down south. I wanted to wake her up and have my way with her again. She must, however, be worn out from the previous night. We had been at it like rabbits. We didn’t get to sleep until the early hours of the morning, fucking until we were out of energy. Nonetheless, my body yearned for her. I don’t think I will ever be tired or fulfilled by the number of times I have her. She is my drug, and I am addicted. She had been apprehensive ever since she first met OBGYN Dr. Nile three months ago. Though he has assured her at all appointments that everything is fine, she is still doubting herself. The grief in her eyes when she sees a negative pregnancy test crushes my heart. I haven’t let her take another test for three weeks now and we are wingin

    Anaya Lee’s battered body lay on the ground. His mangled body was covered in blood from head to toe. Due to the loss of blood, his skin turned pale. His clothes were ripped, and his eyes were hollow. He didn't look like the man I'd seen a few months earlier, with the Armani suit, exquisite jewelry, wide smile, and expensive watches. However, he deserves it after what he had done. He is at the topmost level of the dungeon and is used as a punching bag by all of us. Some of Marcus’s men decided to take the easy way out and kill themselves with cyanide pills while those who had been left were here in the dungeons. The evil ones have been vented, and all have been tortured. The majority of his men were killed. We didn’t have any other options. A few, such as the doctor and his brother who assisted Nicolas, are helped by him to live an honest life. “What? I unloaded my frustration on him since you wouldn't allow me to go on my trips.” Cia said nonchalantly. Nicolas sighed and rubbed his

    Nicolas As I sat in my chair, I noticed that all of my commanders were listing intendly. The previous two months had been extremely hectic. I’ve begun to focus again on my work since the plasters have been removed and my body has fully recovered. We have managed to bounce back higher due to my and Anaya’s efforts. Yes, I have officially asked her to be the boss of the gang. She has declined for the time being. She wants to learn how to operate the business correctly, and she has been a tremendous student. I find it fascinating how she comes up with innovative solutions. I turned to gaze to my right where my new commander, Anaya Ricci, was presenting the information she had for our proposed warehouse to everyone. She had taken care of the repairs and security updates to the warehouse with the help of Adrain. “Nicolas, your lost in your thoughts,” she said quietly as she ended her presentation and the room applauded. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at her. “I’m sorry. What w

    Anaya I felt a tingle on the underside of my thigh. I squirmed when I felt a delicate caress near my hip. Is this a dream? Since Nicolas started teasing me with his touches and dirty words way too frequently last week, I have been exceedingly jittery and aroused. I heard Nicolas say, “I know you’re awake, kitten. Open your eyes.” when I felt hot breath near my ear. Of course, it’s him that gets me wet first thing in the morning! I thought of teasing him, returning the favor, but I jerked awake when I felt a slap on my pussy. “What the...” I lagged. I saw my handsome husband lying on top of me, freshly showered, wearing a red t-shirt and blue jeans. He smirked, “Good morning, wife. It’s always lovely to see your beautiful eyes and naked body in the morning.” I flushed as I realized I was under him, absolutely naked. He purposely made me play strip poker last night, knowing well I am terrible at cards and that’s how I ended up naked while he was fully clothed. Now that Nicolas’s ba

    Nicolas I saw my beautiful wife curled up beside me. Two weeks have passed since I was released from the hospital. I was strictly ordered to stay in bed, and some of my minor bandages had been taken off. I pushed my body to move even though it was still difficult. I'm not going to be chained to a bed. I chuckled, as I remembered how mad Anaya and Cia got when I tried to stand up and fell down on the ground. Since Marcus managed to escape the helicopter when it crashed into the water, everyone has been under pressure. He was actually concealing a knife in his boot, which he used to cut through his binds discreetly. While Noah was holding him, he stabbed the knife into Noah's thigh. We were relieved Noah was safe, since we didn't need a battle with the American Mafia right now. The five men aboard the helicopter that was transporting Marcus got into a fight with him. Someone inadvertently discharged gun, shooting the pilot and causing the plane to crash. We lost Marcos, Anaya's bodygu
