The Mafia Prince's Angel: His Miracle Pretending To Be In Love - Part Two
I watched silently as five SUVs' drove in, approaching the main entrance. The cars stopped in front of us, and immediately the doors flew open, men dressed in black suits and black shades alighted the first car, and rushed to the second car.I heaved out when Mr Marco walked out with Samantha, his wife. She smiled and engulfed me in a hug the moment she came to where we stood."Hope my son hasn't been giving you any tough time?" She asked softly and I shook my head negatively. "He better not." I laughed and gave her a peck on the cheek.Mr Marco simply nodded at me and I offered him a small smile in return.My nervousness returned when the men in black suit surrounded the third car. The door of the car opened and a tall figure came out of the car. It was a man, I couldn't see him properly because he was surrounded by bodyguards, making it hard to see him properly. The man looked around before making his way to where I stood with Alexander and his parents.I gulped down forcefully as I
The Mafia Prince's Angel: His Miracle Pretending To Be In Love - Part Three
"So, tell me, how did you two meet?" Grandfather asked, a knowing smile appearing on his face. I glanced over at Alexander, unsure of what lie he was going to come up with. But before he could respond, I blurted out, "We met at a cafe downtown." At the same time, Alexander said, "We met at the bar near my office." We both looked at each other in surprise, realizing that our stories didn't match up. Grandfather raised an eyebrow, amused by our confusion. "Which is it then?" he asked, a playful glint in his eyes. I felt my cheeks flush with embarrassment, knowing that he had caught us in our little charade. But instead of faltering, I decided to play along. "Well, we met at the cafe first, but we really got to know each other at the bar," I said with a wink, hoping to smooth over the situation. Grandfather chuckled, nodding in approval. "Ah, young love. It's a beautiful thing." I let out a sigh of relief, grateful that he seemed to be buying our story. I took a sip of my juice and
The Mafia Prince's Angel: His Miracle Leap Of Fate
Today makes it exactly five months since I got into a contract marriage with Alexander. So far so good, things has been moving well, not between I and Alexander though. It was just as if the little relationship and communication I had with him has plummeted. We no longer talk to each other, infact, Alexander is barely seen at home, and when he comes back, it's either he ignores me or he avoids me. At first, I felt bad, but slowly grew into it.Yep, we are complete strangers to each other after all.Other than the unprogressive relationship I have with Alexander, every other thing has been moving well and normal. He still sends me my weekly allowance, but still I have told him times without number that I want to work. He'd always brush it aside or tell me that he is rich enough to take care of me. Yeah, just like the arrogant nutjob he is.Ava's bakery has been booming, and well she's over the death of her father, not completely though. Every other day, I'm stuck in this mansion, becau
The Mafia Prince's Angel: His Miracle Tattooed
ALEXANDER She's beautiful. She's breathtaking. She's gorgeous. She'll be my ruin. She'll be my undoing. She has the power to take my very mundanity with her arcane. She can't be mine, but at the same time, I want her to be all mine. I want to possess every fibre of her being. I want to feel her warm body against mine. I want to be the only one that makes her hazel eyes sparkle and light up with excitement. I want her. I need her. I want her all for myself.Hah! I sound so pathetic and possessive! Ivory is like a wrecking ball that zoomed into my life and set it on fire. She's complete perfection, my only direction. It's been five months since I contractually married her, five months since my miracle happened. Every waking of each fucking day reminds me of how close, and how soon it will be for our agreement to come to an end. I can't let that happen. I'd go to the ruins of hell or probably the end of the earth, if that means I'll keep her by my side. My relationship with her hasn't
The Mafia Prince's Angel: His Miracle Happy Birthday
IVORYI immediately entered my room and slammed the door shut. Loudly. I gently leaned against the door and slid down to the floor. My heart is thumping loudly against my chest. My cheeks are as red as tomatoes, and my whole body is all jittery, I'm afraid I could melt. When it comes to Alexander, my body always have a way of betraying me and leaving me at his mercy.This stupid, crazy snitch body of mine. And he tattooed my name on his chest? What does that imply? Who in their right mind would tattoo a person's name on their skin when they're not even close to being friends? He's confusing me. One time he turns warm, and makes me think that maybe he sees this marriage as more than just a contract. Then, there are times he turns cold, and makes me want to drop this whole thing and go move on with my life. I don't even understand him, and it's annoying the hell out of me.A loud bitter laugh erupted from my lips. I probably look like a maniac. I sound pathetic. I am pathetic. Getting i
The Mafia Prince's Angel: His Miracle Temper, Temper
I was startled by the sudden burst of light that flooded the space. I squinted as my eyes adjusted, trying to make sense of the scene in front of me. And then, the crowd erupted into cheers and shouted, "Surprise! Happy Birthday!'I stood frozen, unable to comprehend what was happening. It took me a moment to realize that this surprise party was for me. Me, whose birthday had always been just another ordinary day. Me, who had never had a reason to celebrate or expect anything special on this day ever since the death of my parents. In the past years, I'd know it's my birthday if either I get a birthday message from Ava or she'd wake me up early in the morning with a birthday song, and a birthday cake in her hands. I didn't receive a message from her today, or any other thing that could serve as a reminder that today was my birthday.Somehow I managed to pull out an awkward smile – although it never reached my eyes. Anybody else would have marched in cheerfully, clasping their hands in
The Mafia Prince's Angel: His Miracle Pains Of Yesterday
I moved further into the room, I noticed a beautifully decorated cake at the center of the room. It was a work of art, covered in intricate designs and adorned with candles that flickered in the dim light. The cake was a stunning centerpiece, a symbol of celebration and unity. Instantly, I knew it was Ava's handwork.People approached me with smiles and well wishes, handing me gifts and sharing kind words. They congratulated me, hugged me, and showered me with love and affection. I was overwhelmed by the outpouring of warmth and camaraderie, the sense of belonging and community that enveloped me.Alexander stood by my side, his hand in mine, a silent pillar of strength and support. He guided me through the party, introducing me to guests, making sure I felt included and appreciated. His presence was a reassuring presence in the midst of the bustling crowd, a reminder that I was not alone in this moment of celebration.As the night unfolded, I let go of my inhibitions and allowed mysel
The Mafia Prince's Angel: His Miracle River Of Passion
"Hello beautiful, we meet again." I swiftly turned to look at the familiar stranger who had a smug smile on his face. I've seen him somewhere, but I just can't remember where.I tilted my head a little to the side. "You look quite familiar, but I don't remember where I met you," I stated calmly."It's me, Damien...from the clubhouse.," he said, flashing me a smile. "Fancy meeting you here." Recognition immediately flashed on my face, and I let out a small laugh. He's the handsome guy that introduced me to shots at the clubhouse. I knew it, those striking blue eyes looked incredibly familiar.I tried to play it cool as he approached the sink next to mine, but my heart was racing. What is he doing here? Was he invited to the party?"Yeah, small world, huh?" He simply nodded and slightly rubbed his nose.We stood there in front of the mirror, awkwardly avoiding each other's gaze. But something in me wanted to break the silence. "So, what brings you to the restroom? Or were you stalking

The Mafia Prince's Angel: His Miracle Epilogue
FIVE MONTHS LATER I clutched Alexander's hand, my nails digging deep into his skin as a contraction ripped through my body like a wave crashing on the shore. "It's time," I panted, my eyes locked onto his, my voice barely above a whisper. Alexander's face was etched with concern, but he smiled reassuringly, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "We're almost there, my love. Just a few more minutes." He stroked my hair, his touch gentle and soothing. But I knew it was more than that. The pain was intensifying, like a fire burning brighter with each passing moment. I could feel the baby's head crowning, the pressure building. Suddenly, Theresa burst into the room, her face set with urgency. "It's time to go! We need to get her to the hospital, now!" she exclaimed, her voice firm but laced with worry. The next few minutes were a blur as Alexander scooped me up and rushed me to the car, Clark and Mr. Sebastian following close behind, their faces set with concern. Samantha and Mr. Marco b

The Mafia Prince's Angel: His Miracle Forevermore
IVORY'S POV It's been two days since I saw Ezekiel at the diner. And surprisingly, I haven't seen anything unusual. I had thought that they would've stormed here already, and I've been holding on to that small hope that Ezekiel was considerate enough not to tell Alexander my location. I've been living in this small, shabby apartment for months now, trying to lay low and avoid detection. It's been a lonely existence, but a necessary one. I've missed Alexander, missed him more than I thought possible. I never stopped loving him, but I couldn't go back to him, not to his world. It was too dangerous, too suffocating. As I looked around my apartment, I felt a pang of sadness. It was small and empty, except for the bed, a table, and a few other sparse furnishings. Joe had given it to me, and I was grateful for his kindness. At least I had a roof over my head, a place to call my own. But it was a far cry from the life I had left behind. I missed the luxury, the comfort, the sense of secur
The Mafia Prince's Angel: His Miracle I Love Her
ALEXANDER'S POVI sat in my dimly lit study, gazing out the window, surrounded by the shadows of my own despair. It had been four months since Ivory left, and I was no closer to finding her. Every lead, every hint, every rumor had turned out to be a dead end. I was starting to lose my grip on reality, my mind consumed by thoughts of her, of where she might be, of whether she was safe.I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep. I couldn't focus on anything except finding her. My business was suffering, my relationships were suffering, my very sanity was suffering. And yet, I couldn't stop. I couldn't rest until I found her.Because I loved her. I loved her more than life itself. I loved her more than I ever thought possible. She was my everything, my reason for being. And without her, I was nothing.And then, the news had come. She was pregnant. My baby was growing inside her, and I wasn't there to see it, to feel it, to be a part of it. The thought was almost too much to bear.I remembered the d
The Mafia Prince's Angel: His Miracle I Found You
FOUR MONTHS LATER...I stood at the edge of the small town, my eyes fixed on the horizon. I had been on the move for months, never staying in one place for too long. I had to keep running, had to keep hiding. I couldn't let them find me.I had been living off the grid, using cash and fake IDs to survive. I had cut my hair short and dyed it brown, trying to blend in with the crowd. I had lost weight, my eyes sunken from lack of sleep.But despite the hardships, I felt free. I felt alive.I thought back to the night I escaped, the rain pounding against my face as I ran. I had never felt so alive, so exhilarated.I had made my way to Ravenwood, a small, quaint town nestled in the heart of Oregon, where I had managed to find a work as a waitress at a local diner. I kept to myself, never making friends or connections. I couldn't afford to get close to anyone.But as the months passed, I started to feel a sense of belonging. I started to feel like I could finally start over.I walked into t
The Mafia Prince's Angel: His Miracle Only Love Can Hurt Like This
As I watched Alexander leave my room, I roughly brushed away the tears that were streaming down my face, my hands shaking with anger and hurt. Damn him for reducing me to this state, for making me feel so vulnerable and weak. Damn him for making me love him so deeply, so completely, only to shatter my heart into a million pieces. Damn my body for always reacting to every of his touch. And, damn my heart for still loving him after his lies and betrayal. I slowly walked to the door and slammed it shut, hardly. But, just as I was about to turn, another knock sounded on the door. Angrily I opened it, ready to bark at Alexander for not wanting to leave me alone. "What part of get out don't you under..." My words hung in my throat, when my eyes met with Theresa's. Her face was glistening with tears, her eyes swollen and puffy. A look of hurt, guilt and sadness was etched on her beautiful face. My heart almost almost melted at her pitiful sight and I wanted nothing more than to go int
The Mafia Prince's Angel: His Miracle Betrayal
Laughter echoed in my mind, a cold, mirthless sound. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, used by everyone around me. My legs trembled beneath me as I reached the top of the stairs, my hand grasping for the door handle to my room.I flung the door open and stumbled inside, slamming it shut behind me. I leaned against the door, my heart racing, my mind spinning. I felt like I was trapped in a nightmare, with no escape.I slid down the door, my legs giving out beneath me. I buried my face in my hands, tears streaming down my face. I felt so alone, so lost. My hands wrapped around my stomach protectively, as if to protect the life growing inside me from the unknown danger surrounding me. A soft knock on the door broke the silence. "Angel, please let me in," Alexander's voice whispered through the door.I shook my head, even though he couldn't see me. "Go away," I whispered back.The knocking stopped, but I knew he wouldn't give up. He would keep trying to reach me, to expla
The Mafia Prince's Angel: His Miracle Secrets And Lies
IVORY'S POVI stood frozen at the foot of the stairs, my eyes fixed on the scene before me as five pairs of eyes locked onto me, their gazes piercing and intense. Alexander's words hung in the air, a confession of secrets and lies that threatened to upend my entire world. My mind reeled, struggling to process the words he had just dropped, as if trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces.My head spun, a dizzying sensation washing over me like a wave, leaving me breathless and disoriented. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut, the wind knocked out of me, leaving me gasping for air. My legs trembled beneath me, and I reached out for the stair railings, grasping for support as the room seemed to tilt around me.Alexander immediately took a step towards me, his eyes filled with concern, but I stopped him with a raised finger, my hand shaking with a mix of anger and fear. I shook my head at him, a silent warning to stay back, to give me space to process the chaos that was erupting in
The Mafia Prince's Angel: His Miracle Lost daughter
ALEXANDER'S POVI paced back and forth in my dimly lit study, my mind consumed by the events of the past few days. If only I had arrived sooner, maybe Ava would still be alive. Maybe Ivory wouldn't be lying on a bed, her heart broken and her spirit shattered.Three days ago, our mission to rescue Ivory and Ava from the clutches of Russo and his brother had gone catastrophically wrong. We were racing against time to reach the docks where they were being held hostage, but fate had other plans. Russo's men ambushed us, and we found ourselves entangled in a fierce battle that seemed to have no end. Wave after wave of his henchmen attacked us, each one more relentless than the last. We fought valiantly, but the sheer number of opponents slowed us down, and precious minutes ticked by.As the fight dragged on for over two hours, my anxiety grew. Every second counted, and I knew that Ivory and Ava were running out of time. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, we emerged victorious, bu
