The dark, quiet room made it impossible to think someone could be inside and even though the bed was soft and comfortable, Olivia kept tossing throughout the night. She chucked the duvet to the other end and snapped her eyes open.

A little yawn escaped her lips and she ran a hand into her hair. Olivia was having a mixed feeling, and it was making her go nuts.

The week had moved by so quickly and the wedding day had arrived. Once it was 6am, she knew her mom was going to walk into her room to wake her up.

For a second, she felt unexplained butterflies in her stomach but the next minute, it was a fair share of fear and nervousness radiating through her.

Was she doing the right thing? How will her life be after marriage, huh? She asked herself these unanswered questions.

She ruffled her hair one more time and took a deep breath. Overthinking wasn't going to solve anything, so she decided to shrug the thoughts in her head and concentrate on the present.

Olivia adjusted herself on her bed

    Olivia had a million thoughts buzzing inside her head, and she didn't even notice the time Aiden moved past her. “Congratulations,” a lady whispered to her while jerking her back to reality, and Olivia turned to look in her direction.“Thank you.” Olivia muttered faintly, her voice barely above a whisper as she roamed her eyes in the crowd and rested them on her mom who was obviously marching towards her.“Ma!” She called with a light smile and the moment Jane got closer, she pulled Olivia into a tight hug.“I'm so proud of you, the day has finally come, and it will soon be over. You're a Mrs now,” Jane reminded her, but that word alone sent shivers down Olivia's spine and the thought she was trying to avoid flowed into her head again.“Thank you, Mom, I pray I won't disappoint.” She added sincerely and wiped her sweaty hands on her dress.“Where is your husband?” Jane questioned and glanced around, and then she sighted Aiden talking to someone who was wearing a gray suit, he was ave

  • THE MAFIA LORD'S SUBSTITUTED BRIDE   Seems like a prison.

    Her heart kept racing, and she feared he was going to hear her heart pounding heavily against her chest. “Olivia!” Aiden called for the second time, his voice calm, but void, with no emotion attached to it. “Yes,” Olivia managed to reply in a cracked voice. “You should sleep now, today was indeed a long day. But you can go to the guest room if you're not comfortable, that's the only kindness I can give.” He uttered and adjusted himself on the bed, and Olivia felt he was kidding with his last words, unknown to her that he really meant it. She felt butterflies in her stomach that he cared, even though it wasn't a big deal. Olivia took a deep breath and closed her eyes while trying so hard to get some sleep. And after an hour, nature gladly took over her. * * The ray of sunshine coming through the window woke her up. Her scattered hair was all over the pillow, while she turned and faced the direction Aiden had slept. Olivia snapped her eyes open, she had totally forgotten that sh

  • THE MAFIA LORD'S SUBSTITUTED BRIDE   It doesn't feel right.

    The night didn't go as planned for Olivia because her head was filled with so many unanswered questions. Olivia felt she needed to ask Leah questions to satisfy her curiosity. She had turned at night and noticed she was the only person in the room and was obviously lying alone in the bed. Olivia hasn't seen Aiden since morning, she has stayed awake and drifted to sleep when it was 11pm. What kind of work was keeping him outside? And another disturbing thought was trying to find its way into her head. She sat upright on the bed and wiped her face with her palm. She adjusted a few hairs, trying to obstruct her view while tucking them neatly behind her ears. Furthermore, she sighed and took a deep breath before lying down back on the bed, but was unable to fall asleep. The moment Olivia noticed it was morning, she jumped out of bed and moved straight to the kitchen. But she halted along the way when she heard a sound coming from a room. She was curious and wanted to see for herself.

    Olivia tapped her foot gently on the floor while Leah walked into the kitchen shortly. “You look fazed!” Leah muttered and Olivia sighed. “Excuse me!” She whispered and went out of the kitchen. Olivia wanted to ignore Aiden, but it wasn't working, so she quietly headed for the dining room. It was the next place close to the sitting room, and immediately he sighted her, he had a frown on his face, but Olivia cared less. “We need to talk. I really want to know where I stand.” She uttered, but he played dumb and continued munching on his food. Olivia felt a certain pain wash through her, but she has decided not to let Aiden's cold and silent treatment break her down. She hasn't done anything to deserve all this cruelty. Without his permission, she pulled a chair and sat on it while he narrowed his dark hazel eyes into her direction, and it seemed like he wanted to say something but kept quiet. “Come on, talk to me.” Olivia pleaded. “Do you even see me as your wife? Why did you reall

  • THE MAFIA LORD'S SUBSTITUTED BRIDE   Why?

    Olivia kept staring at the window and neither one of them said a word to each other as Noah drove in silence, his eyes fixed keenly on the road.She exhaled and leaned her back. Olivia closed her eyes and tried not to think too much, and the only moment she opened her eyes again was when she heard Noah talking to her. “We are here, Madam.” Olivia hopped out of the car as Noah opened the door for her. “Thank you,” she whispered faintly, still trying to adjust to the fact that she was his boss' wife.Olivia's thoughts drifted to the moment she stepped out of the house to head for the garage, she had seen a couple of faces she never knew, and the men were all standing around the house.What was happening? Was something bad about to happen, or Aiden had decided to hire them as guards? She asked herself.She wanted to ask Noah, but resisted the urge. “I will be back to take you home, Madam.” Noah said and tried to leave, but she stopped him.“I asked Aiden if I could spend the night here,

    Aiden pulled out of the lady's wet core, and she groaned slightly, obviously disappointed that her pleasure was over. “Grab your clothes and leave.” He ordered and wore his trousers.“What? Why? Don't tell me you're in a bad mood after what we just did.” Carla spoke, and he turned to look at her with a hard glare, she stifled the next words that almost spilled out of her mouth.“You should know your place. So leave!” He spoke in a deep, harsh tone, and she gasped and stepped down from the bed.Carla was Aiden's sex mate, he only summoned her whenever he was horny or in a bad mood. But Carla wanted more, which she obviously knew wasn't going to be possible. So far, no one was able to melt his heart of stone.Aiden heard the scuttled footsteps of someone leaving immediately the door was closed, and he felt it was Olivia. “I thought you would have a soft spot for me by now, I did everything you wanted me to do. Am I not good enough for you?” Carla questioned while she stood with a pitif

  • THE MAFIA LORD'S SUBSTITUTED BRIDE   Ambushed.

    The week went by as a blur, and Olivia had decided to stay back. She had vowed to be with him for better or for worse, but the deepest truth was because she was in love with him.Aiden was the kind of man every lady would want, but aside his cold treatment. She wanted to give him the space he needs and see if he would realize what he has before it will be too late.Olivia got out of bed and moved to her window while staring outside. The sun was out already and the ray of sunshine was reflecting in the room.Just then, a slight knock was placed on her door and she ushered the person in. There and then, someone opened the door and walked in, and it took her a few seconds to turn around to see who it was.“Max!” She called, a bit surprised. “Is everything okay?” Olivia inquired with a puzzled look and took a few steps closer.“Yes Madam, the boss summons you. I think you will have to change what you are wearing.” He informed her.“Are we going somewhere?” Olivia questioned quickly, but h

  • THE MAFIA LORD'S SUBSTITUTED BRIDE   The meeting.

    Fear gripped her while she huddled her knees close to her chest. She could feel the beads of sweat already forming on her forehead. Olivia had been in that position throughout the day. The sound of gunshots kept echoing in her head, and she closed her eyes for a bit to calm her racing heart. What if she had died from those gunshots, huh? Was that the main reason Kayla died? She asked herself unanswered questions. She gently took a deep breath again and again. Likewise, she could feel her fear subsiding. Then she pulled out her phone from her pocket and placed a call across her mom. No one told her Aiden was a made man, a boss of his mafia family. Why? She couldn't get a specific answer for that. Are they afraid she won't want to get married to him? Of course, Olivia was never the type to desire a marriage without peace, a marriage where you can't decide if going out of your home is safe or not. The first call went in vain, and she called again. The moment her mom picked the call,

  • THE MAFIA LORD'S SUBSTITUTED BRIDE   Messing with the wrong man.

    Olivia realized she wasn't daydreaming when she woke up the next day. The strong arm she felt around her body made her blushed sheepishly. The heat last night didn't just end at the kiss.She slowly pulled away from Aiden and covered her naked body with his shirt, which was on the floor.Olivia felt her cheek turning red while she walked into the bathroom. She stared at the mirror and placed a hand over her mouth just to stop herself from screaming in happiness.Aiden had made love to her, unlike the first time they had sex. This was a lot different, she could still reminisce on his stares at her body and the desire in his eyes.Wherever he went yesterday, did a little good for him. Even after the sex last night, he didn't act like nothing happened. He had kissed her forehead before falling asleep.Olivia touched her forehead, a wide grin on her face. Suddenly, her mood began to change and her heart skipped.What if he suddenly goes cold when he wakes up? He was unpredictable with his

    Olivia released a little yawn, her eyes still closed while she tried to wake up. She snapped her eyes open when she realized she was on the bed. How? She had slept off in the sitting room? Did she sleepwalk to the bedroom? She thought and ran a hand into her hair.Aiden walked in, and she swiftly raised her head to look in his direction. “Good morning,” she whispered in a low voice.He didn't say a word but walked towards her and sat on the bed. “Are you okay?” He asked, while touching her forehead, and she widened her eyes.Olivia let her mouth slightly open while her blue eyes searched his face. Was she daydreaming? She whispered to herself.“Yea…yes, I'm fine.” Olivia replied in a cracked voice, and he moved his hand to the duvet.“I'm going out, I will be back shortly. Don't go out!” He added the last part with a strict tone.Olivia arched her brows, her face held a puzzled look. “Did Aiden injured his brain or worse? He must be ill or running a temperature.” She thought and got o

    The Donald's had invited Aiden and Olivia for dinner. The two had left already and Olivia wanted to talk to him about his mother but decided to leave it when they were back home. They haven't talked much lately, he has been quite busy while dealing with mob business, so Max had said.Noah had followed them behind along with Max. Max rang the doorbell while Olivia waited patiently for the door to open.Daisy opened the door and Olivia didn't expect to see her, she thought it was a dinner between them, Mr. Donald and his wife. “Come in,” she spoke with a wide smile.Olivia released a little smile, and walked in. Aiden followed her behind, and they headed for the sitting room. Mr. Donald descended the stairs, grinning from ear to ear.“Welcome,” he whispered and moved closer to them. “How have you been?” Aiden questioned.“Good evening, sir.” Olivia whispered and bowed slightly at him.“Olivia,” he mumbled and kissed the back of her palm. “I have been fine, thank you. Shall we?” He utt

    “Grab your purse and leave. You're so lucky we found nothing on you. You should better stay away from these kinds of men.” The police officer warned and passed Kayla's purse to her.Yes! It was Kayla…she had gotten herself into trouble with the police force in Malaysia. That was where she had traveled to, hoping she was going to start a new life there.Kayla had always been the opposite of Olivia, she was stubborn, careless, and nonchalant. Even in Malaysia, she only wanted to find a rich boyfriend without bothering about his source of money.The first month she had lived there wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. She made a couple of friends, a girl named Lora, who works at a club.Through Lora, Kayla met a rich guy who was a drug dealer, which she knew nothing about. He had actually spent enough money on her, and that alone made her his sex mate. Sex and money were the two things keeping them together.Last week, just around 2pm, Kayla heard a loud knock on her door. She though

    The moment Max parked the car in the garage, he rushed to open the door for Aiden. Olivia stepped out afterward, she had a blank expression on her face while walking into the house.She didn't move straight to the bedroom but moved to the kitchen. Olivia dropped her purse on the counter, her pulse running faster than it should, and she sighed.She opened the fridge and brought out a bottle of water before pouring some into the glass cup, and she gulped down everything.“Little Moll?” Olivia repeated with a scoff. “How dare she?” She spoke again, her hand turning into a fist. Olivia wished she had hit that mouth of hers the moment she said those words.Olivia picked her purse from the counter and ascended the stairs. She stopped at the door, her hand on the handle while thinking twice.She turned the knob and walked in, Aiden had just stepped out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. Olivia ignored him, she was mad at him for everything. Olivia tried to walk past him into the

  • THE MAFIA LORD'S SUBSTITUTED BRIDE   Mixed Emotions.

    Olivia held a sour expression, her lips pressed together in rage, while she kept her gaze on Carla who kept walking towards Aiden's direction. Olivia was just about to stand up when she noticed Audra moving towards Carla, and she relaxed back on the chair, her eyes sending glares towards Carla who had no idea Aiden's wife was there.She crossed arms and huffed in a muffled breath. She hoped Aiden had not invited Carla by himself. Why would he do that when he had her by his side, huh?Olivia has never felt jealous like she did at that moment. A sharp pain pierced through her, and she averted her eyes while roaming them around.Audra had gotten close to Carla, it was funny how the world is indeed a small place. Audra had known Carla for two years now, they met at the airport around December.They were two different people with different personalities, but Audra, being the nice person she is, got along with Carla, and they stayed in touch.Audra had invited Carla herself and had no idea

  • THE MAFIA LORD'S SUBSTITUTED BRIDE   Audra's party.

    Olivia woke up the next morning and was totally surprised, Aiden was still sleeping. He must be so tired after his trip-she thought. She tried to move a few of his hair plastered on his face, but she resisted the urge to do that. Her eyes traveled down his toned skin and well-built body. Suddenly, Aiden turned on the bed, and she laid back quickly and snapped her eyes shut. He got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom. Olivia slowly opened her eyes and roamed them around. Aiden stepped out not long in his sweatpants and bare chest. “Good morning,” Olivia muttered, and he spared her a brief look. “We will be leaving soon for the engagement party. You should take your bath now,” he replied, and Olivia grabbed her phone from the drawer and checked the time. “9am?” She gasped. “What happened to waking up 7am to 8am, huh?” She mumbled and hopped out of bed. She peeled off her pajamas and suddenly Aiden walked in. He paused the moment he saw her in her undies, and Olivia could f

  • THE MAFIA LORD'S SUBSTITUTED BRIDE   A day spent with Ava.

    Olivia washed her face for the second time, then lifted her head and looked into the mirror in front of her. Her blue eyes stared at her face for a few seconds before traveling down to her body.She scoffed in a low voice and shook her head. She thought she was playing the game better, but it seemed like Aiden didn't care at all.For the past three days, she had slept in the same room with him, he had totally ignored her like a plague.Olivia puffed air through her mouth and groaned lightly before running her hand into her messy hair.She needed to visit the salon and since Aiden had traveled to Chicago yesterday, today was the perfect time for her to move freely without checking what time it was every hour. He didn't tell her when he was coming back, and she didn't care to ask.It was hard for her to play the cold treatment game because of how much she loved him, but she was willing to learn. Maybe if she could act the way he does, he may eventually discover what he has before it's t

  • THE MAFIA LORD'S SUBSTITUTED BRIDE   Two could play the game.

    Aiden had stepped out of the house later that day, Leah was around to make lunch, and she apologized for taking much time than she thought she would.Olivia took a short nap to calm her head. She had spent hours on the balcony while trying to figure things out until it seemed hopeless.She heard Leah's voice and stepped out of her room. “How was it?” Olivia asked and startled her.“Christ! I thought you were asleep.” Leah replied, with her left hand on her chest. “It went well, you look as if you had a good day, did something interesting happen in my absence?” Leah inquired and Olivia chuckled.“Nothing at all,” she whispered and moved to sit on a stool in the kitchen.Aiden, on the other hand, had left for a meeting, he wanted to address the outfit about Ethan and what they planned to do with him.It was a punishable offense for one to leave the outfit and come back any time. It was seen as betrayal that only deserved death as justice.Aiden won't hesitate to pull the trigger on Etha
