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,

    Aiden was not in the mood, he held her hands, which were trailing down his arms to his torso. “Leave!” He uttered calmly, but his voice was filled with authority.“I know you want this, stop resisting already.” Carla added, but his grip became firm and she whined a little.“Leave, while I'm being gentle.” He bellowed and let go of her hand. She had a frown on her face when she turned to carry her bag and leave.Aiden sat on his chair while running a hand through his hair. What was wrong with him? He had never turned down Carla's offer to please him, especially when he knew how gifted her mouth was.He peeped at his wristwatch, checking what time it was, and instantly a slight knock was placed on his door. “Come in!” He said in a husky tone.Jeff walked into his office, glancing around with his eyes like he was expecting someone else in the boss's office. Of course, he had seen Carla walking through the passage and obviously heading to Aiden's office.“Boss, this is the record book, we

    Aiden was already waiting for her in the car, he hates to wait, and Olivia wasn't out yet. “What is keeping her this long?” He asked with a growl in his voice.“Do I need to check if she is done?” Max inquired, and before he could say another word, Olivia stepped out of the building. She was wearing that same red dress she bought at the mall the other day.It has a slit at the front, which was up high to her knee, and it seems like a body-con dress. There was no denial she was hot and beautiful and Aiden noticed that.For a minute, he doubted if it was the same Olivia living with him. He cleared his throat, jerking Max to reality while Olivia walked slowly towards the car.Olivia entered the black Range Rover and waited for Aiden to say a word, but he didn't and as usual, she didn't get her hopes up high.She turned to face the window while Max began to drive out of the compound, and so did the rest of his men.Aiden spared her a stare while she focused her gaze on the window, he star

    “Huh?” She whispered and blinked her lashes. Was she hearing a different thing? Or were her ears playing silly jokes on her.“Forget it, your answer is not necessary anyway.” Aiden muttered and took in a sharp deep breath while relaxing his back on the seat.Olivia adjusted herself and turned to face the window as usual, she had no idea why he decided to shut her up before she could say a word, but then, a little smile found its way to her face.She blushed lightly and noticed Max driving into the massive compound, while the bodyguard by the gate bowed slightly at them.Aiden snapped his eyes open and hopped out of the car when Max parked in the garage. His men followed him behind, while Olivia walked alongside.The moment she walked into the sitting room, she met Leah wearing the apron, it seemed like she was heading towards the kitchen.“Leah!” Olivia called in a low tone and smiled widely. She had been occupied with her thoughts lately and failed to check up on the elderly woman.“

    Olivia yawned and stretched herself, while trying to wake up from deep slumber. Her eyes were still heavy as she moved her hand to the little table close to the bed and grabbed her phone.She struggled to snap her eyes open and checked what time it was. It was 7am, and she sighed in relief, besides it wasn't like she had much to do.She got out of bed and slid her legs into her floppy slippers close to the bed.Olivia walked straight to the bathroom, picked up her toothbrush, but paused a bit to stare at her reflection.She slowly ran a hand inside her messy hair, while adjusting it. Then she intensely stared at her lips before grabbing the toothpaste.After an hour, Olivia walked out of her room and moved to the kitchen. But Leah wasn't there, and she wondered whether she was okay or not.She sighed and moved to the sitting room, but her stomach rumbled, making her realize how hungry she was. Olivia released a groan and stood up, but Leah walked in at that moment.“Good morning, did

    The drive back to the mansion was smooth, and Olivia felt exhausted for no reason. All she wanted to do at that moment was lay on the bed and stretch herself. Her thoughts drifted to Aiden, but she shrugged it off before slowly closing her eyes. Noah peeped at the back seat through the mirror. “ Madam, are you alright?” He questioned in a low tone and she opened her eyes. “Yes, I am.” She answered and closed her eyes again. He didn't utter a word as he quietly focused on the road. It wasn't long before Noah drove into the compound and parked in the garage. Olivia stepped out before he could hop out and opened the door for her. She clung her purse close to her before heading for the entrance of the building. The moment she walked into the sitting room, she met Aiden seated on the couch with a magazine in his hand. He spared her a brief stare and averted his eyes to the wall clock. He held a blank expression while his dark hazel eyes stared keenly at her before he continued flip

    Olivia bit her bottom lip and stared intensely at him. Her heart raced and for a moment, she wanted to resist him, but she couldn't. “I know what I was getting myself into in the first place.” Olivia replied in a low tone, barely above a whisper, and lowered her gaze to the bedsheet.Aiden raised her chin and his dark hazel eyes seemed to search for something within hers, and suddenly, he crashed his lips on her again while his hand began to roam around her back.Olivia took in a deep breath, unable to hide how his touch was making her body crave more. She wanted him like air, and there was no denial.Aiden adjusted himself on the bed and pulled her close to him. His biceps flex with his every move, making him look hot and irresistible. He could also perceive the scent of her shampoo, it smelled like a mixture of white flowers and roses.He placed his right hand on her back and trailed it down to her ass. Not only that, but he squeezed it slightly through the fabric of her pajamas, an

    Olivia slowly opened her eyes, she reached for Aiden on the bed, but he wasn't there; her eyes popped open, and she arched her brows.What time was it? Had she slept for too long? She released a light yawn and turned to peeped at the wall clock in his room.It was 7.30am and then she suddenly became curious. Where has Aiden gone so early, huh? She wanted him to be the first person she sees when she wakes up, but it seemed like she was late.Olivia paused a bit when she felt the soreness in-between her legs. But she shrugged the pain and got out of bed.Then she noticed she was still naked, and a little smile displayed at the corners of her lips. She silently hoped the sex will bring them closer.Olivia walked into his bathroom, her eyes glancing at the room, and she grabbed one of the towels she found in the bathroom. She sniffed it, and it smelled just like Aiden, a mixture of peaches and cream.She turned on the shower and took a quick bath, when she was done, she moved out instantl

    Olivia stared at him while tears prickled in the corners of her eyes. “I will leave now and pretend I never heard those heartless words.” She said, her voice coming out more like a whisper.She glanced around the room and pushed the chair backwards. Olivia reached for the door and began to walk away, and Aiden followed her behind. He didn't stop her, but turned and glared at Noah, who saw the fury in his eyes.“Take her home before I lose my temper. I am not done with you yet,” Aiden uttered, and Noah bowed his head and lowered his gaze to the floor.“It was never my intention to cross the line, Capo. And I promise it won't happen again.” Noah muttered ruefully in a low voice.Aiden walked past him into his office, and Noah didn't need a reminder to ask him to go after Olivia. He rushed outside and didn't say a word to her, but his face held a frown that Olivia noticed.“The boss asked me to take you home.” He spoke and entered the car while Olivia hopped into the back seat.She kept

  • 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

    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

    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

    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
