The Heart of the Mafia Twin Baby Names
The evening at the cafe had settled into a comfortable quiet, the aftermath of laughter and celebration still lingering in the air. Klarisse and Alex sat side by side in one of the cozy booths, their hands intertwined as they sipped on decaffeinated tea. The soft glow of the string lights gave the room a warm, intimate atmosphere. "So," Alex began, his fingers intertwined with Klarisse's on the table, "do you have any favorite names in mind yet? You’ve probably been secretly thinking about this for months, haven’t you?" Klarisse laughed softly. "I might have a list or two on my phone," she admitted, biting her lip. "But I want us to decide together. It should be something meaningful for both of us." Alex leaned back in his chair, a playful smile on his lips. "Alright then, let’s hear some of your ideas first. Ladies’ choice." "Okay," Klarisse said, sitting up straighter. "For a girl, I was thinking something elegant but not overly complicated, like *Elise* or *Clara*. Clara’s kind

The following day, Klarisse had decided to stay home to rest after the tiresome baby shower. Alex wanted to stay home as well, but Klarisse reminded him that he had to attend another meeting with the Marconi's deal. Alex agreed but reminded Klarisse to call him anytime, if she needed anything.As Klarisse sat by the window of their spacious bedroom, a soft breeze from the garden below swept through the curtains. The sunlight played against the walls, but Klarisse’s heart was weighed down by thoughts that refused to leave her alone. She gently rubbed her growing belly, trying to focus on the excitement of their little one’s arrival. But her mind kept drifting back to Maxine. She leaned back in the armchair, staring at her phone resting on the table nearby. She hadn’t tried calling Maxine again since her previous attempts were ignored. A part of her was thankful for the silence—it spared her from any confrontation—but another part of her wondered what Maxine was thinking, or if she was

Klarisse sat in the passenger seat of Alex’s car, staring out the window as the city passed by in a blur. Today felt different. There was an inexplicable restlessness inside her, a feeling she couldn’t quite place. Perhaps it was the pregnancy hormones, or maybe it was something deeper, something she wasn’t ready to face yet.Alex, ever the doting husband, shot her quick glances as he drove. He had been more protective than ever, which she appreciated, but today, she needed space. She needed to breathe.“Are you sure you want the café closed today?” Alex asked cautiously, his voice laced with concern. “You’ve never closed it before, not even when you were sick.”Klarisse exhaled, already expecting this reaction. “Yes, Alex. Just for today. I just… need a break.”He tightened his grip on the steering wheel but didn’t argue. “And the bodyguards?”She turned to him, her gaze pleading. “Can’t I have one day without them hovering around me?”Alex hesitated. His natural instinct was to keep

“Alex!” Klarisse shouted, her voice trembling with desperation. She gently closed her eyes and collapsed, her body giving in to exhaustion and despair.“Boss, what are we going to do with her?” one of the men asked, looking down at Klarisse’s unconscious form.The boss smirked, a sinister gleam in his eyes. “Alex, you have no idea. You chose to save your ex over your wife. What a wonderful scene,” he sneered, relishing the unfolding drama.Alex was stunned, realizing the gravity of his mistake. No one had even mentioned Maxine until he rescued her. “No, something’s wrong,” he mumbled, his mind racing with conflicting emotions.Maxine opened her eyes, her vision blurred with tears. Seeing Alex, she sobbed, “You came, thank you so much.” She reached out and hugged him tightly, her relief palpable.But Alex was torn, his heart heavy with guilt and confusion. He stared into the distance, barely acknowledging Maxine’s embrace. “Klarisse,” he whispered, his voice filled with regret.*******

Allie felt miserable for Klarisse, who had done everything to avoid her fate, but it kept chasing her, forcing her to choose between her family and herself. “Allie, if I go through with this marriage, what about my business? I don’t want you to get tired managing it,” Klarisse stated. Allie chuckled. "Klarisse, you don’t have to worry about me. Besides, you are paying me," she replied with a laugh. Klarisse playfully slapped her arm."Yeah, but you’re still my best friend. I don’t want to see you all haggardly; it’s not good for your beauty. I hate seeing you tired. You’re losing glamor points." she teased. Allie rolled her eyes and shot her a mock death glare, but Klarisse hugged her from behind and kissed her cheek."Eww, gross!" Allie exclaimed."Duh, I’m just so sweet," Klarisse retorted. Their banter was interrupted when a new customer entered the café. Both of their eyes turned to the glass door, now held open by a man dressed in all black. "Wow, he’s cool," Allie commented

“I’m sorry, Mom. I need more time to figure out my decisions in life,” Klarisse mumbled as she parked her car and headed to another branch of her café. She owned multiple branches of Klarisse’s Café around the area.“Good morning, ma’am,” the guard greeted her.She smiled warmly. “Good morning. I’m just going to check some things here.”The guard nodded as she walked inside. The café was bustling with customers, which brought her a sense of pride. It made her happy, but a wave of sadness washed over her as she remembered her twin sister, Klara, was no longer alive to share in her success. The happiness was bittersweet.“Klara, if you were here, I know you’d be happy to see how well the café is doing, I know you’d be proud to see my hard work paying off,” she whispered to herself.Just then, the manager spotted her and called out, “Klarisse! It’s great to see you here.”Klarisse forced a smile and walked over. “Hi, I just wanted to see how everything’s going. It looks busy.”“Really we

It was already dark, and Klarisse was on her way home to their mansion, a knot of anxiety tightening in her chest. She knew she needed to speak with her parents about her decision regarding the arranged marriage. Lost in thought, she spotted a car stopped at the corner ahead, with a man waving urgently as if in need of help.“Who is that?” she mumbled to herself, curiosity piqued. Her initial instinct was to keep driving—strangers on dark roads often meant trouble. But as she approached, the man stepped into the center of the road, forcing her to come to a halt.“Hey! Are you crazy?!” she shouted, feeling a mix of irritation and fear.The man, wearing a cap that partially obscured his face, responded sharply, “I am not crazy, but you are. You’re ignoring someone who needs help.”Klarisse squinted, trying to place where she might have seen him before. “Wait, do I know you?” she asked cautiously. But her curiosity got the better of her.The man looked up, and recognition flickered acros

"Alex, you're here again," a man said, greeting Alex with a friendly bump of fists.Alex smiled, his expression warm. "Of course. Is Maxine home?"The man nodded, a knowing look in his eyes. "Yeah, she's inside."Alex made his way to the small, humble house, knocking gently on the door."Who is it?" a woman's voice called out from within."It's me, aunty," Alex replied, his voice tinged with familiarity and affection.The door opened swiftly, revealing an older woman whose face lit up with excitement. "Alex! What are you doing here at this hour?" she asked, her eyes twinkling."I came by to see Max. Is she here?" Alex asked, a note of urgency in his tone.The woman's expression shifted subtly, a mix of hesitation and concern. "Oh, she's inside her room," she said, stepping aside to let him in."Thank you," Alex said with a nod and made his way to the small, humble house. He gently knocked on Maxine's door before pushing it open.Inside her room, Maxine was sitting at a small wooden de

Klarisse stood in front of the closed doors of her cafe, confused. It wasn’t like Allie to shut down operations without informing her. She tried calling Allie, but her phone kept going to voicemail. Klarisse furrowed her brows, shifting uncomfortably in her maternity dress as Alex stood beside her, looking far too casual for someone who had been dragged into this mystery. "Are you sure you don’t know what’s going on?" Klarisse asked Alex, her suspicion growing. Alex raised his hands in mock innocence. "I’m just as clueless as you are, love. But why don’t we go inside and figure it out together?" Skeptical, Klarisse reached for the door, pushing it open. The moment she stepped inside, a loud, unified cheer erupted. "Surprise!" The room was filled with friends, family, and even some of her regular customers, all beaming at her. Balloons in soft pastel colors floated around the cafe, and banners that read *“Welcome, Baby Robinson!”* were strung up across the walls. A table near the
The Heart of the Mafia Twin Doting Husband
Alex had always been a dependable partner, but now, as Klarisse carried their child, he had stepped into an even more protective and attentive role. He ensured that she never missed a doctor’s appointment, that she ate nutritious meals, and that she didn’t overwork herself, especially when she was at her cafe. Alex's actions were tender but firm, leaving Klarisse with little room to argue when he deemed something necessary for her well-being.Bronson and Angela, Alex’s parents, had taken this opportunity to heighten their protective measures. They insisted on assigning bodyguards to Klarisse, not just at the mansion but even when she was at her cafe. Klarisse, fiercely independent and used to handling things on her own, immediately protested against the idea."Bodyguards? At the cafe? That's ridiculous!" Klarisse exclaimed during breakfast, setting her fork down a little harder than intended. "It’s not like I’m going to be running into danger while serving coffee and pastries."Angela
The Heart of the Mafia Twin Positive
Life for Alex and Klarisse had settled into a harmonious routine, one that brought comfort and joy to both of them. Each morning, Alex would drive Klarisse to her café before heading off to the Robinson’s office. He’d work through the day, handling the weighty responsibilities of their business empire, but his mind often wandered back to the thought of picking her up later. By the time evening rolled around, Alex would fetch Klarisse, and they’d spend their evenings enjoying dinner together or sharing quiet, intimate moments in their shared home. Klarisse couldn’t have asked for anything more. For the first time in her life, she felt like she truly belonged—not just as a part of the Fowls family or as a caretaker of her late sister’s responsibilities, but as herself. She was Klarisse, Alex’s wife, and someone who was deeply cherished. However, the steady rhythm of their routine took an unexpected turn one afternoon. Klarisse had been feeling strangely off for a few days—tired, dizzy
The Heart of the Mafia Twin Back to Business
The morning sunlight streamed through the grand windows of the Robinson estate’s dining room, casting a warm glow on the table set with an elegant breakfast spread. Alex and Klarisse sat side by side, their movements relaxed yet subtly attuned to each other. The previous night’s intimacy had left them both with a renewed sense of connection, and it showed in their every glance and gesture. Angela Robinson observed them from across the table, her sharp eyes flicking between her son and daughter-in-law. She had always been perceptive, and this morning, she couldn't ignore the shift in their dynamic. Alex, who usually kept his interactions with Klarisse polite but distant, now seemed attentive and engaged. Klarisse, on the other hand, appeared more at ease, her usual reserved demeanor replaced by a quiet confidence. As Alan Robinson buttered his toast, he too noticed the subtle change. “You two seem...different this morning,” he remarked with a small smile, his tone laced with curiosit
The Heart of the Mafia Twin Burning Passion
Alex’s words had barely left his lips before Klarisse leaned forward, her lips finding his in a kiss that spoke of all the pent-up emotions, doubts, and desires she had been holding back. It started softly, but within moments, the kiss deepened, igniting a fire between them that neither could ignore. Alex cupped her face with both hands, pulling her closer as if she might disappear if he didn’t hold on tight. Klarisse melted into his touch, her hands tangling in his hair, pulling him even closer. The world outside ceased to exist, leaving only the two of them, lost in the intensity of the moment. Their breaths mingled as Alex trailed kisses along her jawline, down to the curve of her neck. Klarisse gasped, her skin burning wherever his lips touched. Her hands slid down his chest, feeling the strength beneath his shirt, the heat of his body radiating against her fingertips. “Klarisse…” Alex murmured against her skin, his voice thick with desire. Her name on his lips sent shivers do
The Heart of the Mafia Twin No Answer
Klarisse’s hands gripped the steering wheel as she pulled into the driveway, the engine humming softly before she turned it off. Her mind was spinning. She had spent the entire drive home replaying her last conversation with Maxine, wondering if there was something she’d missed—some hidden clue about where Maxine’s heart truly lay. She leaned back in her seat, staring out at the Robinson mansion looming before her. Despite her efforts, Maxine hadn’t picked up her calls. Klarisse wasn’t even sure why she was trying to contact her, but there was a pull—a need to understand Maxine’s perspective, to make sense of everything before speaking with Alex. The last time Maxine came to the café felt like a lifetime ago, yet it haunted Klarisse. Maxine’s words had been clear: *She didn’t want to be Alex’s mistress.* Maxine had said she was walking away, yet Klarisse couldn’t shake the doubt. Was Maxine truly staying away from Alex? Or was this just temporary, and her presence would resurface so
