The Mafia Boss’s Mute Bride 8.
ALEKSEI MY WEDDING DAY CAME FASTER than I expected, and it was no one’s fault but mine. I’d picked the date myself, after all. I scheduled the wedding earlier because I didn’t want the Italians to find a way or loophole—not that they would be able to. My lawyers made sure of that—out of the wedding. Igor hadn’t been pleased with the news of my marriage, and he’d let his displeasure be known for over thirty minutes. I’d put the call on speakerphone, offering occasional hums to make it seem like I was paying any attention to him. I wasn’t. I was going over the final details of my wedding with Peter, my assistant. The same wedding he disapproved of. Someone was going to have a bitch fit when he found out, but I couldn’t find it in me to care. “The Italians called again to make sure the no paparazzi rule was still intact,” Peter said absentmindedly, finalizing things that needed to be done over the phone. Unlike us, they didn’t rely heavily on the media to paint a picture about t

ARIANA I changed into a sparkly, less bulky white dress for the reception. It rather was ironic considering the color of my wedding dress at the church, but there was no time to make switches now. I swapped out my black kitten heels for black satin Versace platform pumps. The heels were still torture, but they were better than the kitten heels I wore earlier. Aleksei sure as hell didn’t find this as amusing as he had my wedding dress stunt. If anything, he looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here. Finally, there was something we agreed on. The reception area was flawless from the decorations to the seating arrangements. Sparkles of gold and white carried across every inch of the room. Not a single thing was out of place given the short time he had to plan things out. That was the type of efficiency a lot of money got you. The first time Aleksei willingly touched me since the reception began was when it was time for the bride and groom to dance. His large hands fell on my wai

ARIANA The day progressively went downhill with every minute that passed. The tension in the air was palpable.Neither side bothered to hide their disdain for the other. Aleksei’s parents weren’t in attendance, and I doubted he was related to the people he invited. They got louder and got more obnoxious with every shot of vodka they took. One even grabbed a server’s ass, and she hadn’t hesitated to smack him hard on his bald head with her tray. I mentally high-fived her for that. Good riddance. They were different from the brothers.Aleksei and Mikhail were reserved and calculating, drinking in the room with their eyes without saying a word. They didn’t even bother to socialize with the rest of the crowd. It was as though they were storing information for later. They probably were just so they could use it against my family in the future. The food I ate one hour ago was unsettled in the pit of my stomach, threatening to follow the path it had taken down my stomach back up. The air

ARIANA My heart slammed against my ribcage when a hand tapped my shoulder. “Sorry,” came Giselle’s voice from behind me. She sounded like she was fighting back a laugh. I brought my hand up to my chest, turning to face Giselle as my accelerating heart rate slowly came back to normal. She’d shaved ten years off my life with that scare. “I didn’t mean to scare you. So… interesting wedding, huh?” I groaned insufferably. I was more than ready for this miserable day to be over and done with. “Now, I’m glad Nicholas didn’t want a reception. What if it had turned out like this?” She looked so horrified, I couldn’t help but laugh. She didn’t know how lucky she was. I’d rather be anywhere but here right now. Hell, I’d even pick staying in a room with Rocco over this. “Niko and Matteo approved of Aleksei’s handling of the situation.” She rolled her eyes. “Men.” I laughed. That one word held so much meaning behind it, and I could relate. “What even happened?” She handed m

ARIANA I LOATHED MY BROTHER-IN-LAW. I dug my nails into my palms as Mikhail helped lower me into a chair in the center of the dance floor. I wanted to bolt out of here. Fast. The last thing I wanted was Aleksei's head between my legs, but my devil-incarnate brother-in-law was having none of that. He'd successfully gathered all the bachelors in the room—my scowling brothers included—and forced the DJ to switch to a more sensual song. Now he was in his brother's ear, whispering things that made the latter's frown deepen every passing second. I didn't even want to know what they were talking about. He patted Aleksei on his shoulder before going to join the men with a huge grin on his face. Did I mention that I loathed my brother-in-law and I wanted to punch the ever-living shit out of him? Aleksei started toward me, his expression stoic, and I instinctively sat

ARIANA The air in the limousine was frigid, and no, it wasn't because of the air con. It was because of the man who—for some reason—was still angry even after the reception when he had no right to be. I was the one who got threatened by him before we had to go home. Not him. Me, but he didn't see me sulking about it. His eyes were glued to the laptop he was currently tapping away at, pretending the world around him didn't exist. Perhaps it didn't. Perhaps he was sucked into a world of his own where no one else but him mattered. Unable to bear the silence in the air, stupid me pulled my phone out of my clutch to type a quick message to him. Do you not have any other family members aside from Mikhail? A good conversation starter. I sent the text, and immediately, his phone buzzed on the leather seat next to him. He didn't bother reaching for it. He merely cast the lit screen a glance before going back to what he was doing.

ARIANA MY NERVES WERE STILL FRAZZLED from everything that had happened in the last twenty-four hours, and to make matters worse, I woke up with a pounding headache. All that alcohol in my system proved to be a bad idea as I downed some Tylenol I found in the first aid kit in the bathroom. I still couldn't even believe I was now married. Surely, the day couldn't get any worse, or so I thought until I noticed the cup of coffee on the table even though I'd locked my door the night before. It freaked me out knowing someone else had access to my bedroom, and I immediately made a mental note to take it up with Aleksei the next time I saw him. I didn't appreciate my privacy being breached—wife or not. Surprisingly, my 'husband' hadn't sought me out last night to consummate the marriage. I was relieved, and, at the same time, worried. What if he chose to have sex with me when I least expected it? I'd prepared myself for d

ALEKSEI CHAOS UNFURLED AROUND ME as breakfast preparations were made, but all I could fixate on was the simple text Igor had sent me last night. Home. Now! That was all the text said, but I could feel the fury behind it all the way from Russia. I sighed, pushing my hair out of my face. I must have really pissed my old man off because he didn't do texts. He claimed it was too 'basic' and 'beneath him', whatever the fuck that meant. He preferred his email chains. I clicked the exit button on my phone, closing the text he sent me. I clicked on Ariana's text next, against my better judgment. This was my fifteenth time checking the text since she sent it last night. Yes, I was counting. It was an unhealthy fixation. One I was powerless to. I promised myself I'd delete the text chain and forget all about it, but I eventually found myself scrolling through our chain of texts. Oddly enough, I always wished people around me would st

ALEKSEINinety minutes later, the pianist had wrapped up her performance, and Ariana was fangirling over her at the side, where they conversed animatedly.I'd accidentally stumbled upon her conversation with her best friend on the phone a while ago. Apparently, they were big fans of the pianist, and they'd missed the opportunity to get tickets to her New York show before they sold out.Deo happened to be hosting an event for a few acquaintances, and I found he'd hired her services for the night. Long story short, I made him kick out a few intended guests to take their spots.How Viktor was one of the few guests in attendance remained a mystery to me, and Deo refused to tell. Speaking of Viktor...I turned slightly in my seat, tearing my gaze off Ariana for a few seconds to find Viktor in the crowd. He stood quietly to the side, nursing a glass of wine—his preferred drink of choice—while he leaned his weight against the walls of the glass dome.I followed the

ALEKSEIOLD ME WOULD BE balking at current me.Not only had I skipped work for forty-eight hours—and counting; I'd also taken a flight out of New York for reasons unrelated to my work. Both choices were unlike me.My entire adult years revolved around work, and it was a conscious decision I had taken because I was avoiding everything else around me.The one thing I feared the most was coming to fruition right before my very eyes, but my brain had completely turned off when it came to dealing with this woman, it seemed.The very thing I made the decision to run away from when I was ten stood in front of me in the form of a frowning, five-foot-nothing woman, who looked at me like she wanted chop my dick off.Maybe losing control wasn't so bad, after all."Tell me!" Ariana whined, grabbing onto my forearm to stop me from moving forward."It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you, now, would it?""Ugh, you suck." She let go of my arm, turning to walk in

ARIANAHe did scrub me clean, but it didn't end there.He made me sit still while he dried and brushed my hair for me. And color me surprised when I walked into the closet to find clothes all in my size next to his—clothes I was sure I never purchased for myself—and all my care products I didn't remember telling him about.Now I was perched on the couch, watching him frolic around the kitchen because he didn't want me to lift a finger. More than sixty minutes passed with me scrolling through endless movie options on Netflix before he rounded the counter with a tray of food and drinks.I sat up straight, adjusting the pillows around me as he approached the couch.This was my second time seeing him in casual clothing. That one time back in Russia didn't count because he took off the sweatpants almost immediately, and I never got a good look at him because I was trying not to pay attention to him.Big mistake on my part because he looked just as gorgeous in his

ARIANA"Currently my type is a blonde, five-foot-four spitfire. Kind as fuck, too stunning for this world, gets mad for my sake. What's not to love?"My breath hitched in my chest. I didn't miss his less than subtle use of the L-word."Also, her protectiveness turns me the fuck on, and her nonchalance after she gets called out on it is even better. And that smart mouth of hers..." he trailed off."And what about it?""I could listen to it talk about the most mundane things, and I still wouldn't get tired of listening to her sweet voice."I released the shaky breath I was holding. I didn't realize those were the things he thought of me, and I'd be lying if I said I was unaffected by his words. "Currently?""Hm?""You said currently. Are you looking to change your type again?" "Depends. Is she going to dye her hair a different color again?""Maybe?" I hid my smile."Then the list will be updated." His lips hovered over mine seductively. "Do

ARIANAI STIRRED OUT OF my slumber, slowly blinking my eyelids open to take in my surroundings.Where was I?This didn't look like my bedroom, and neither did it look like Aleksei's. For some reason, I was also sore. What the hell happened last night?I pushed my hair out of my face, trying to sit up on my bed, but a thick arm around my waist prevented me from doing so, pulling me closer into a muscular, warm body."Where are you going, baby?" Aleksei's sleepy mumble drifted into my ears as he buried his face in my neck, tightening his grip around my waist."Nowhere."Memories from last night played in my head like a movie.Aleksei picking me up from Niko's house; me asking him to fuck me, and then him bringing us to this penthouse. The remaining details didn't need to be recounted in my head. My body could feel it.I buried my face in my palm, groaning quietly as my words from last night bombarded my head. I couldn't believe I'd said half the thi

ALEKSEI I LET MY EYES briefly fall shut as I slid in to the hilt, burying myself deep in her warm heat. Her walls tightened around my cock despite her not having full control of her body yet, and she whimpered softly, clawing at the sheets. It was hard to tear my eyes off her face. She was flawless in every sense of the word from her long lashes that spilled over high cheekbones to her full lips parted with pleasure, to the slight pinch between her perfectly arched brows. I lowered my lips to her forehead, softly kissing the wrinkle between her brows away. Her cheeks flushed a slight pink, and she tried turning her face away from me. This woman. I just made her come twice, once on my tongue and once around my cock. Yet she still blushed over a little kiss on her forehead, like I didn't have my cock inside of her right now, fucking her to the brink of another orgasm. I smiled to myself. Of course, she got shy over a kiss lik

ARIANAMY BACK ARCHED OFF the bed as he thrust in slowly, filling me inch by excruciating inch until I was sure I'd explode if I took any more of him."Fuck," I cried out, hiding my face in the crook of his neck as pain seared through my body.Aleksei stopped moving. "Don't look away from me, Solnyshko. I want to see your face." His fingers sank into my hair, gently pulling my head back. Worry filled his eyes when they clashed with mine. "Tell me how you feel.""Full," I admitted. "It hurts a little.""That's just the tip, baby. Are you sure we shouldn't stop?"My eyes rounded into saucers. "Just the tip?"I looked down at where we were joined, and my jaw dropped.Oh, fuck. He wasn't lying.God, I knew he was huge - I'd felt it in my palms when I touched him - but I didn't expect him to be that huge that I mistook just a few inches for the entire length of his cock.Nonetheless, I shook my head, even though I damn well knew I was dancing with

ALEKSEII RECLAIMED HER LIPS as we stumbled into the private elevator, absentmindedly punching at the buttons to take us to the penthouse at the top of the building.Ariana's arms wound around my neck, pulling me down so she could kiss me harder. I obliged easily, cupping her ass to hold her against me as she devoured my lips with the same fervor."Open," I groaned against her mouth, teasing the seam of her lips with my tongue.Fuck, I needed to taste her again. After last night, her lips and tongue were permanently imprinted on mine.Her taste hadn't left my mouth, and with every hour that passed, I feared if I took too long, I'd forget what it felt like to have her tongue in my mouth, gliding softly against mine.I'd deemed kissing as unnecessary, and as such the action never appealed to me, but one kiss and I was hooked like a crack whore on cheap heroin.I'd never cut a work trip or a business meeting short before, but not only had I cut a meeting sho

ARIANA "STOP!" I jumped out of my seat, taking the tray out of Giselle's hands as she approached me. Her smile faltered. "What? Did I do something wrong?" "Not at all!" I guided her to a chair, waiting until she took her seat before I placed the tray on the coffee table. "I'd rather you not stress yourself because of me. You're pregnant." She huffed out a laugh. "Oh, that. You're just as dramatic as Niko, if not worse. Scratch that. No one is as dramatic as him." She looked down at her stomach. "It's just a tiny bump. I don't get why everyone is freaking out." "Niko is right. You are carrying a human inside of you. You need to rest." "Technically, it's still a fetus. And according to the doctors, doing some cardio here and there doesn't hurt." "How many times did you go over that argument with Niko?" She groaned, throwing her head back against the couch. "Five and still counting. He won't liste
