Marriage for Real

last update Huling Na-update: 2025-02-03 16:59:10

Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. The seasons shifted, but one thing remained constant—Alexander’s unwavering devotion to Klarisse. Their once carefully measured and arranged marriage had transformed into something real, something deep, something neither of them had expected.

Klarisse had always imagined love as something soft and gradual, something that crept up unnoticed until it was undeniably there. But with Alex, love was different. It was steady yet passionate, unexpected yet certain. Every day, he found new ways to show her how much she meant to him, whether through grand gestures or simple, quiet moments that spoke volumes.

Klarisse often found herself waking up in the mornings to Alexander’s warm embrace. He had a habit of pulling her close even in his sleep, his protective nature manifesting even in unconscious moments. She would lay there for a while, tracing light patterns on his skin, marveling at how much things had changed.

  • The Heart of the Mafia Twin   Fraternal Twins

    The day had finally come—the moment Alexander and Klarisse had been anticipating for months. The birth of their child, the next chapter of their love story. But little did they know, fate had yet another surprise in store for them. It started with mild discomfort in the early hours of the morning. Klarisse shifted in bed, rubbing her swollen belly as she tried to find a comfortable position. Alex, ever the light sleeper these days, immediately stirred at her movements. “Are you okay?” he murmured groggily, his arm instinctively wrapping around her. Klarisse took a deep breath. “I think… I think it’s starting.” That woke Alex up instantly. “Starting?” He sat up, his sleepy haze gone. “You mean—the baby?” She nodded, wincing as another contraction hit. “Yes.” For a moment, Alex simply stared at her, frozen in a mix of excitement and panic. And then, he was in full-on action mode. He grabbed the hospital bags, called their doctor, and made sure everything was in place before helpin

  • The Heart of the Mafia Twin   Raising Twins

    The arrival of Lucas and Liana Robinson had completely turned Alexander and Klarisse’s lives upside down—in the most beautiful and chaotic way possible. Their once-organized schedules had become a blur of sleepless nights, baby cries, and diaper changes. But through it all, there was an undeniable joy in every moment, even in the most exhausting ones. Gone were the days when Alex and Klarisse could enjoy peaceful mornings, having breakfast together in a slow, relaxed manner before heading to work. Now, their mornings started at unpredictable hours, dictated entirely by the twins. On most days, Klarisse would wake up to the sound of Lucas’s soft whimpers, followed shortly by Liana’s cries. And before she could even get out of bed, Alex was already by the crib, rocking one of them while trying to soothe the other with gentle words. “Shh, Daddy’s here,” he murmured, cradling Lucas against his chest while bouncing slightly on his feet. Klarisse, still groggy but smiling, would join hi

  • The Heart of the Mafia Twin   First Birthday

    The Robinson mansion had never been this festive. From the grand entrance adorned with pastel balloons to the sprawling garden filled with elegantly decorated tables, everything was set for the most anticipated event of the year—the first birthday of Lucas and Liana Robinson. It wasn’t just a simple family gathering; it was a statement. The Robinson and Fowl families, two of the most influential names in business, were showcasing the next generation—their heirs and the future of their legacy. But beyond the business implications, today was about celebrating the joy, laughter, and love that Lucas and Liana had brought into their parents’ lives. Klarisse had been hands-on with the planning, despite Alex and their parents insisting that she leave it to the event organizers. “I want this to be special,” she had told Alex one evening while reviewing the guest list. “Not just another corporate event or business showcase. It’s their first birthday. It has to be personal.” Alex had smiled

  • The Heart of the Mafia Twin   Uninvited Guest

    The grand birthday celebration of Lucas and Liana was winding down. The laughter of children had softened, and guests were beginning to exchange parting words and warm goodbyes. Some of the high-profile business associates of the Robinsons and Fowls had already made their exits, while close family and friends still lingered in the elegantly decorated garden, sipping the last of their champagne under the twinkling fairy lights. Klarisse sat with Alex on one of the cushioned benches near the stage, exhausted but happy. Her fingers laced through his as she leaned against him, watching as their children giggled in the arms of their doting grandparents. “Today was perfect,” she murmured. Alex kissed her temple. “Because you made it perfect.” Just as Klarisse was about to reply, a sudden shift in the atmosphere caught her attention. A low murmur spread among the remaining guests, like ripples on a calm lake after a stone had been tossed into it. Heads were turning toward the entrance of

  • The Heart of the Mafia Twin   Family Meeting

    The next morning, the Robinson estate was quiet, but tension crackled in the air like a brewing storm. Alex and Klarisse arrived at the family mansion, both knowing that this wasn’t going to be a simple breakfast gathering. They have dropped off the twins at the Fowl’s Estate to stay with their grandparents there, Alan and Kareen. The events of the previous night still lingered in their minds—Artemis’s sudden appearance, his cryptic words, and then his abrupt departure without an explanation. As they walked hand in hand through the grand hallway, Klarisse gave Alex’s fingers a reassuring squeeze. She could feel the barely contained frustration radiating from him. “I still don’t understand why he just left,” Alex muttered under his breath. “What was the point of showing up just to walk away?” Klarisse glanced at him. “Maybe he wanted to see if he was still welcome.” Alex scoffed, shaking his head. “If he wanted to be welcome, he should have stayed and explained himself. But Artemis

  • The Heart of the Mafia Twin   Next Move

    The drive to the Fowl Estate was quiet but thoughtful. Alexander kept one hand on the steering wheel, his other resting on Klarisse’s thigh as she gazed out the window, deep in thought. Their conversation with Bronson and Angela the day before had left them both shaken, but not lost. Instead, they had gained clarity on what they needed to do next. “We should reach out to Artemis ourselves,” Klarisse finally said, breaking the silence. Alex kept his eyes on the road, but she could see his grip on the wheel tighten slightly. “You really think he’ll listen?” She turned to him, reaching for his free hand. “I don’t know. But I do know that if we let more time pass, he might disappear again. And if we don’t try, we’ll always wonder what could have happened.” Alex sighed, his fingers lacing with hers. “I just… I don’t know what to say to him.” Klarisse gave his hand a reassuring squeeze. “Then we figure it out together.” Alex nodded, appreciating her support. He had spent years resenti

  • The Heart of the Mafia Twin   Artemis and Allie

    The soft chime of the café’s entrance bell rang as Alexander and Klarisse stepped inside, the warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee wrapping around them like a comforting embrace. The café had always been Klarisse’s safe haven—a place where things felt lighter, where conversations flowed easier, and where difficult truths were somehow easier to digest. Tonight, she hoped it would have the same effect on Artemis. Alexander had arranged for them to meet here, away from the weight of the Robinson estate and its legacy. Here, they weren’t heirs or businessmen—they were just people trying to make sense of their tangled pasts. Artemis was already there, seated at a corner booth, his posture relaxed but his sharp eyes watching their every move. He had always exuded a quiet intensity, a presence that commanded attention without effort. His dark suit contrasted with the rustic charm of the café, making him stand out even more. As they approached, he gave a slow nod, his expression unreadable

  • The Heart of the Mafia Twin   Family Dinner

    The Robinson Mansion was alive with movement, the air filled with the delicious aromas of expertly prepared dishes and the quiet hum of last-minute preparations. The grand dining hall, always impressive, had been set to perfection—fine china gleaming under the golden glow of the chandelier, fresh floral arrangements adding warmth to the formal setting, and an air of anticipation thick enough to be cut with a knife. This wasn’t just any dinner. This was a dinner with Artemis. For years, Bronson and Angela Robinson had dreamed of having their family whole again. And now, with Artemis finally stepping back into their lives, they wanted to make sure he felt welcome, not as a guest, but as their son. Klarisse had spent the afternoon keeping Alex calm. Her husband was nervous, though he would never admit it. Instead, he had kept himself busy, overseeing the kitchen staff, double-checking the seating arrangements, and, at one point, even arranging and rearranging the wine selection. “Ale

    **Venice.** A city of dreams… but tonight, it was a city of **nightmares.** **Klarisse Fowl-Robinson** sat bound and helpless in a cold, dimly lit room. Her wrists were tied tightly behind the wooden chair, and her ankles were bound to its legs. The air was damp, filled with the scent of mildew and fear. **But it wasn’t the coldness of the room that chilled Klarisse’s soul.** It was the **man sitting across from her.** **“Ahhh…”** Luca swirled the deep red wine in his glass, his lips curling into a satisfied smile. He sat leisurely, like a man savoring the fruits of a hard-fought victory. **“A fine vintage, don’t you think, Klarisse?”** His tone was mockingly polite, but his eyes… **Cold. Calculating. Cruel.** **Klarisse refused to answer.** Her jaw clenched as she stared at the floor, her eyes burning with tears she refused to shed. **But her silence only fueled Luca’s amusement.** **“Still giving me the silent treatment, huh?”** Luca chuckled softly, taking another

    **Venice.** The city of canals, romance, and ancient mysteries. But for **Alexander Robinson**, it was a city haunted by the shadow of **Luca Marconi**. Tonight, Venice was not a place of beauty. It was a **battlefield**. **“Move in.”** Alexander’s voice was barely above a whisper, but the weight of authority in it commanded immediate action. **Brandon and Lionel, his trusted right-hand men,** led their elite team into the seemingly abandoned structure that Luca Marconi had turned into a prison. It was an **old industrial warehouse**, hidden away in the heart of Venice’s labyrinthine alleys. **Dilapidated. Quiet. Deceptively so.** But Alexander knew better. **Luca never left anything to chance.** The air was thick with the scent of mold and rust. The dim glow of flickering lights overhead barely illuminated the narrow corridors. **“Check the perimeter,”** Alex ordered softly, his voice barely above a murmur. **“Stay alert.”** **Brandon and Lionel fanned out with precisi

    The air was heavy with tension, thick with unspoken fears and uncertain loyalties. **Bronson Robinson** stood at the head of the long mahogany table, his expression grim but composed. Beside him, **Alan Fowl** sat with his hands clasped tightly, his knuckles white with the force of his grip. They were here to make a decision that would shape the future of **their families**… and the entire **Mafia underworld.** The hall was filled with representatives from the most powerful Mafia families. **The Bertollis, the Vasquezes, the Morettis, the Lucianos, the Bellinis…** All of them had come, their faces reflecting a mix of unease and impatience. **Bronson Robinson** scanned the room, his gaze sharp and assessing. He could feel the **weight of responsibility** pressing down on him. With **Alexander and Artemis away**, and **Klarisse still in Luca’s hands**, it was up to **him and Alan** to keep everything from falling apart. **Angela Robinson and Kareen Fowl** were not present at th

This was it. **The moment everything would change.** ---Allie stood with her arms crossed, her gaze locked on **Artemis Robinson**, who stood a few feet away, talking quietly with his brother **Alexander.** **Alexander Robinson** paced back and forth, his jaw clenched, his face etched with frustration and worry. **“This is insane,”** Alexander muttered, his tone sharp and unyielding. **“We shouldn’t even be here.”** **“Alex—”** Artemis tried, but his older brother cut him off. **“No. This is too dangerous.”** **“Everything about this has been dangerous,”** Allie interjected, her voice sharper than she intended. **Alexander turned to face her.** **“And bringing you here makes it worse!”** ---**Allie’s fists clenched at her sides.** **“I didn’t come here to argue, Ale

    **Allie** stood by the window of the Robinson estate, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. Her phone was still warm in her hand from the call with **Artemis.** They had gone over **Enrico’s information** and were working to finalize the next move. But as much as Allie tried to focus on the present… Her mind wandered back to the **past.** **It came out of nowhere.** A wave of nostalgia swept over her, pulling her back to a time she had tried so hard to forget. **Before Klarisse.** **Before Artemis.** **Before she had a family that truly cared.** ---Allie had been barely **seven years old** when her world shattered. Her parents… Gone. An accident. **They never came home that night.** She remembered waiting by the window, hoping for the familiar sound of her father’s car pulling into the driveway.

    The sterile smell of antiseptics lingered in the air as **Allie Fowl** pushed open the door to **Enrico D’Angelo’s** hospital room. Her heart was pounding in her chest, a mix of **anger and desperation** swirling inside her like a raging storm. She hadn’t waited for permission. **Lucas and Liana** had been left in the care of the nannies back at the Robinson estate. **Klarisse’s absence was tearing her apart.** And now… **Enrico was awake.** **He had answers.** **He had to.** ---Inside the hospital room, the tension was palpable. **Alan and Kareen Fowl** were already there, standing silently beside **Bronson and Angela Robinson.** Their faces were a mix of worry and controlled anger. **Enrico lay in the hospital bed,** pale and weak, but conscious.

    The cabin of the private jet was cloaked in **silence** — a silence so thick it felt like a living entity, suffocating everything in its path. **Alexander Robinson sat near the window,** his eyes staring blankly at the vast expanse of clouds below. The engines of the jet hummed softly, a background noise that barely registered in his mind. **His thoughts, however, were anything but quiet.** ---Alexander’s mind was a battlefield, torn between **duty and love, responsibility and heartache.** **Klarisse.** His wife. The mother of his children. **Maxine.** His first love. The woman who had left, but never truly left his heart. **Luca Marconi had him exactly where he wanted him.** And for the first time… **Alexander felt powerless.** ---**“Who do you save?”** Luca’s mocking words echoed in Alexander’s mind. **“Who’s it going to be?”** His jaw clenched so tightly that his teeth ached.

    The night was **cold and unforgiving** as **Artemis Robinson** stood on the rooftop of an abandoned building overlooking the industrial sector of **Barcelona**.
