SHOPPING SPREE

The car ride was silent, but not the comfortable kind. It was crazily awkward and I was sure as hell that if we could hear each other’s thoughts, it would be so noisy. I sat stiffly in my seat, my hands clasped tightly on my lap, trying to appear composed like I wasn’t having a full blown conversation in my head.

Angelo drove with one hand on the wheel, the other resting casually on his lap. His face was unreadable, his eyes focused on the road. I sneaked a glance at him, wondering how someone could look so calm while being so intimidating. He made me feel so small.

I shifted in my seat, trying to adjust without drawing attention to myself. The leather creaked slightly, and I froze, feeling his gaze avert toward me briefly before returning to the road.

“You’re too tense,” he said suddenly, his deep voice cutting through the tension.

I blinked, caught off guard. “I’m fine,” I replied quickly.

He didn’t respond, but the corner of his mouth twitched, almos

    MYAAMBUSHThe sound of voices yelling outside the store made me flinch. My heart raced, pounding so loudly in my chest I was certain everyone around could hear it.This was it, wasn’t it? They’d storm in, grab me, and drag me out like an animal. I tried to think of some way—any way—to save myself, but nothing came. Where would I even go?I glanced toward Angelo. He stood near the entrance. The sheer contrast between his calmness and my panic made my terror feel even worse. How could he stand there, so unbothered? Didn’t he care that the entire Carson family’s guards were outside, demanding my head?“Stay where you are,” Angelo said without looking at me, his voice low and unbelievably confident. It wasn’t a suggestion. It was a command, one that sent a shiver down my spine.The shouting outside grew more aggressive. The words were muffled, but I caught bits and pieces—“murderer,” “justice,” “boss’s blood.” My stomach twisted. If Angelo handed me over, I’d be dead before I could plead

    MYA“HOME”My pulse still hadn’t settled, and I gripped my hands tightly together to stop them from trembling. My heart was beating so hard, if was almost painful. I had never been so close to violence before. I had never seen a man shot. And yet, Angelo had done it so effortlessly, as if he was swatting away an annoying fly.“Are you okay?”I jumped at the sound of his voice, turned toward him quickly, embarrassed at my reaction. He wasn’t even looking at me, his gaze was fixed on his phone. Still, I could feel his attention, as if he could see every thought running through my mind.“I—I’m fine,” I stammered, though my voice sounded anything but convincing. “Thank you for… what you did back there.”He didn’t respond, didn’t even acknowledge my gratitude. I wanted to say something else—anything to break the silence—but I wasn’t sure what words would come out if I tried.Angelo finally spoke, his voice calm but firm. “Do you see now how much danger you’re in?”I turned to look at him a

    ANGELO The sun was setting as I sat on the terrace with Marco and Nico, the only two people I’d ever really been friends with. Nico and I had been friends since we were kids and Marco, I met along the way. Marco was leaning back in his chair, a smug grin on his face, while Nico nursed a glass of whiskey while watching me like a hawk.“So,” Marco started, his voice dripping with amusement, “how was the wedding night?”I shot him a glare. “Don’t start.”“Come on, man,” Marco said, leaning forward with a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Don’t tell me she wasn’t willing to call you daddy.”Nico snorted, nearly choking on his drink. “You know you can always let her go if she doesn’t call you daddy. Get a new one.”“Enough,” I snapped, though I could feel the heat rising to my face. These idiots knew exactly how to push my buttons, and they’d been doing it since we were way younger, especially since the moment they discovered one of the things I liked in the bedroom- being called daddy.

I was sitting on the couch when he strutted in and I was starting to fall asleep because of how comfortable it was but he came in and it suddenly felt like I was sitting on a prickly rock. He stood by the fireplace, adjusting his cufflinks with an air of authority that only made me feel smaller.“The wedding is tomorrow,” he said, his tone flat and unexcited, as though this wasn’t the biggest thing happening in my life right now. “It’ll be grand, public, and impossible to ignore. After that, we’ll go on a honeymoon.”Honeymoon? My stomach flipped. I froze, staring at him, but he didn’t even look at me. I could feel the heat creeping up my neck as my nerves kicked into overdrive. A honeymoon? With him? Did that mean what I think it means?I swallowed hard, trying to steady my voice. “Honeymoon?” I managed to say, though it came out quieter than I’d intended.That was whe

    MYATHE WEDDINGThe sound of such sweet music at my own wedding should have been soothing but only made my heart pound faster. The air was thick and I was almost defeated by the murmur of a thousand voices, all eyes were on the end of the aisle where Angelo stood waiting. My fingers clenched tightly around my brother’s arm as he walked me forward. My legs felt like lead.My dress was a masterpiece, it trailed behind me, so long it required two attendants to manage it. I should have felt beautiful in it, and maybe I did for a fleeting second when I first saw myself in the mirror. But now, all I could feel was the weight—both literal and figurative. The dress was suffocating, the corset was digging into my ribs, but it was nothing compared to the pressure of the stares and the cameras flashing so bright, they were threatening to blind me.Carlos, My eldest brother and the one I hated the most, walked beside me with the most calm expression, but I could see the curiosity in his eyes ever

    MYACOMFORTI watched Angelo’s expression carefully as I spoke, the words came rolling out before I could second-guess myself. It had taken a lot for me to tell him what my brothers were like. Even though I wasn’t sharing everything, I felt exposed, like a piece of me was being put on display. I half-expected him to shrug it off, but he didn’t. Instead, his jaw tightened, and his eyes darkened in a way I hadn’t seen before.He was angry—really angry. His knuckles whitened where his fists clenched at his sides, and the sharp line of his lips told me he was holding back words he wanted to say. I froze, unsure of how to react. His reaction wasn’t what I’d expected.“I need to talk to them,” he said suddenly, his voice low and controlled, but the undertone of fury was unmistakable.“No,” I said quickly, almost panicked. “You don’t have to do that.”He ignored me, already turning toward the direction my brothers had gone. His broad shoulders were tense, and the way he moved made me certain

    MYAIt was hard to breathe with them around me. The air suddenly felt thick and toxic and I wanted nothing more than for them to move the fuck away. I forced myself to stay seated, my hands gripping the edge of the table to keep me from trembling. Their presence always brought unease, but now, surrounded by a room full of strangers, I felt exposed in a way I hadn’t before.“We’re here to congratulate you, Mya,” Carlos said, his voice smooth and disgusting. His eyes scanned me, and I resisted the urge to flinch.“Congratulations,” Nathan added, though his tone was far from warm.I didn’t believe them. I never believed them. “What do you really want?” I asked, keeping my voice steady, though my heart pounded.Carlos, the animal who had touched in very wrong ways in the past inched closer, his lips curling into a smirk that made my skin crawl. “We just want to see how our dear little sister is doing. And, of course, we’re curious,” he said, his tone mocking. “Has your husband finally mad

    MYAThe ride home was. I sat beside Angelo, my hands folded neatly in my lap, while I stared out the window. Everything that happened today replayed in my mind in an endless loop—the vows, the crowd, the kiss. Especially the kiss. The thought alone made my cheeks burn, and I pressed my fingers to them, trying to take the heat away but it was useless.When we arrived at the house, I realized how much I was going to need to get used to. There was never a time that I walked in and I didn’t feel out of place.The wedding dress, once beautiful and exciting, now felt like a trap. The bodice was too tight, the skirt too heavy, and every breath seemed harder to take. I was desperate to get out of it but didn’t know how to excuse myself without seeming rude.Angelo opened the door for me, extending a hand to help me out of the car. I hesitated before taking it, his touch firm and steady as he guided me up the steps.“You’ve been quiet,” he said, breaking the silence as we walked inside.“I’m j

    Mya I wrinkled my nose as I averted my gaze. He reeked of feminine perfume and that irked me. It made me feel irritated and I cursed myself for not noticing the different scent clinging to his heady cologne. Perhaps if I had noticed that, I’d not have asked him to wait. The thought of what he was clearly doing before returning home made me uncomfortable. “Couldn’t this wait until morning?” he asked, his voice calm and a little irritated, like he had somewhere better to be. I shook my head quickly, deciding to get on with it. “No. You’d be gone before I woke up.” He tilted his head slightly, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Fine. Go on, then.” I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts. “I… I just wanted to thank you,” I began, my voice lower than I intended, almost shaky but I had that in control. His brow arched, and he crossed his arms. “Thank me? For what?” “For helping me,” I said, forcing myself to meet his gaze. “For making sure I’m… safe here. For everything so

    Mya The next night Angelo didn’t come home until late, I’d been waiting in the living room with a book I wasn’t really reading. When I heard the front door click open, I couldn’t help but look up, feeling something close to relief at the sound of his footsteps. But that relief was short-lived when he walked in, his shirt rumpled, hair tousled, and that same scent of perfume lingering in the air around him. “Goodnight,” he said, his tone indifferent as he walked past me without a second glance. I nodded, swallowing the questions that rose to my throat. “Goodnight,” I murmured, but he was already halfway up the stairs. The next night was the same. He left before I even woke up, and when he returned, it was late, and he looked just as rough. The faint lipstick mark on his collar didn’t go unnoticed. I didn’t say anything, though. What could I possibly say? By the third night, I told myself I wouldn’t wait up for him. It wasn’t like I had any reason to. Yet there I was again, curled

    Mya Back in my room, I finally felt like I could breathe again. Being home brought a comfort I hadn’t realized I needed. After everything that happened on the trip—the near-accident, the tension with Angelo, the endless emotional twists—it was good to be in a space that felt like mine, where I could think clearly. I stretched out on my bed, letting myself sink into the softness. My mind wouldn’t stop wandering, though. It kept going back to that moment on the plane. When Angelo’s hands had slipped under me, ready to lift me up, and then our eyes met. Those few seconds felt like forever, his gaze holding mine as if he were searching for something. I don’t think I’d ever been more tense in my entire life, the feeling was one of a kind and it was definitely something that I wasn’t going to be forgetting anytime soon. The way he’d pulled back after that, as if burned, left a strange ache in my chest. He dropped me like a hot towel as soon as he could and that hurt more than I would

    The morning we left the villa, I found myself unusually eager to head back home to Italy. This entire trip had been a whirlwind—one moment I was hiding from gunfire, the next, I was head over heels for Angelo’s effortless charm and sharp looks. The man had a way of taking up my head space, even when he was quiet. I smoothed the hem of my dress as I stepped into the car, determined not to overthink anything on the journey. It was a sleek, black luxury vehicle that screamed Angelo in every way—demure, commanding, and just a little intimidating. He was already inside, sitting with one leg crossed over the other, his suit impeccable. His head tilted slightly as he glanced my way. “Comfortable?” he asked, his voice low. Of course I wasn’t comfortable. How could I be? “Yes,” I replied, trying to sound just as relaxed, though my heart was racing. As the car began to move, the gentle hum of the engine filled the air. I looked outside because it was the safest choice, staring anywhere el

    Angelo I adjusted my cufflinks, staring at my reflection in the mirror. Tonight was the last function we had to endure before returning home. This trip had been strangely peaceful, even if it came with its share of trouble. I hadn’t worked much, which was unusual for me. Instead, I’d spent days idling, something I wasn’t accustomed to. And then there was her. My so-called wife. She had been... present in ways I hadn’t seen coming. Her clumsiness, her nervous energy, her stubborn little quirks—it was all becoming a distraction. A distraction I couldn’t afford. I sighed, running a hand through my hair as I tightened my tie. Returning home couldn’t come soon enough. At least then, I could slip back into my routine—work, focus, control. The past few days had left me feeling oddly horny, and I knew exactly why. I hadn’t been able to shake this persistent tension in my body, a tension I was determined to resolve once we were back. “Angelo?” Her voice was soft, hesitant, coming from b

    ANGELOThe door to her room was cracked open, and for some reason, I found myself hesitating. It was late, and I should’ve already left for the night, but something made me linger. Pushing the door open just enough to peek in, I saw her lying there. She was curled up on the bed, her bandaged hand resting against the pillow, her chest rising and falling in soft, steady breaths. The light from the lamp cast a warm light over her face, making her look... fucking beautiful and peaceful too. I leaned against the doorframe with my arms crossed, watching her.She was beautiful and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. She was so beautiful that I couldn’t exaggerate it even if I wanted to. I didn’t want to think about it, didn’t want to acknowledge it, but it was impossible not to notice. Her lashes were dark against her cheeks, and the way her lips parted slightly as she slept—it was distracting. Too distracting.I thought back to this morning. The panicked scream, the sight of her clutching

    The man fell on his knees, trembling, his face pale and streaked with blood. Tears ran freely down his cheeks as he begged for his life, his voice laced with desperation. “Please… spare me. I didn’t mean any harm. I was just following orders. I swear, I didn’t want to hurt anyone.”Angelo looked completely unbothered by his tears, his expression looked like it was carved from stone, eyes cold and unforgiving. He twirled his knife lazily in one hand, the blade glinting under the lights. His voice was calm but laced with danger. “You didn’t want to hurt anyone?” he repeated, stepping closer to the man. “Yet you came here armed, disrupted my evening, and terrorized my wife. Forgive me if I find that hard to believe.”The man flinched as Angelo crouched in front of him, the knife was still in his hand. “Give me one good reason not to end your pathetic existence right now,” Angelo said.My breath hitched in my throat as I watched the scene unfold. The sheer ruthlessness in Angelo’s

    MYA The sound of gunfire was deafening. My ears rang, my chest tightened, and I was too scared to breathe. My back pressed against the cold walls as I tried to make myself smaller, trembling so hard my teeth chattered. This wasn’t supposed to happen—not here, not now. For once, I thought we’d get through a single day without chaos.Angelo crouched beside me, his jaw tight and his eyes scanning the room as though he could see through walls. He turned to me, his voice cutting through the panic. “Are you okay?”I shook my head frantically, unable to find my voice. My hands gripped the edge of my dress like it was a lifeline. “No,” I finally whispered, my voice trembling. “No, I’m not okay. What’s going on?”“Shh.” His gaze softened for a brief moment. He reached for my face, cupping it with both hands, forcing me to meet his eyes. “Breathe,” he ordered.“I—I can’t,” I stammered, the words choking me. My chest felt like it was caving in.“Yes, you can,” he said, his thumbs brushing aga

  • Okay, Daddy: Mafia’s Lord Betrothed Little Bride   22: IT’S JUST AN ARRANGEMENT.

    Everything felt weird as I stood in front of the mirror, judging my reflection for what must have been the hundredth time. The dress I was wearing was elegant, with a soft, flowing material that clung to my frame just enough to look flattering without being too revealing. My hair was styled to perfection, and my makeup—light and natural—highlighted my features just right. I knew I looked good, but the nervous knot in my stomach refused to loosen.Why was I nervous? I hated that I felt this way. Angelo had been absent the entire day, handling whatever “important” business he’d mentioned earlier. Part of me was glad for the space, but another part—one I didn’t want to acknowledge—wondered what he’d think of how I looked tonight.I shook my head, scolding myself. Why does it matter? I reminded myself of his words, the ones that had played on a loop in my head since the day he’d said them: “I’m not attracted to you. You’re like a child.” It stung at first, but now, I knew better.
