The Mafia's Mistaken Bride CHAPTER 59
Jasmine's POV A shiver of anticipation darts down my spine as soon as we are out of Ethan's sight. However, I notice how stiff Mr. Moore is still right beside me and I see his fists clench with his jaws in obvious anger.It makes me wonder if he is mad at me or someone else.The thought alone almost makes me give up on telling him what I saw and heard and asking him what he knows.But I know I need to do this.I need his help.Xavier will only believe me. He doesn't even believe Mr. Moore when he told him I wasn't his daughter so how will he believe Frank who isn't Andre's father?Even though we are on good terms now, Xavier will always be a jerk.Finding a seat right outside the mansion, I flop down heavily expecting him to do the same but he only stands, staring at me with a distant look on his face."Mr. Moore?" I rise immediately with concern, my hand touching his tense shoulder. "Are you ok? Is everything alright?"As though my words are what is making him come back to reality,

Xavier's POV She comes close to stand next to me, her perfume drifting to my nostril, making me look up at her.She smiles.It is nowhere like the smile she threw my way last night at the party which didn't reach her eyes nor the joyless one she flashed at Frank Costello.Even though I really want to know what transpired between her and Nicholas, I am keeping my cool but I know Jasmine and her inquisitive nature. Coming here when I am working means she has questions and needs answers and I am not in the mood for that.Without a word, she flops to the chair next to me, her presence distracting me.Suddenly, surprised at her silence, I close my laptop and fold my arms around my bosom. "Why are you here?"I am not ready to answer her questions but I want to know what it is this time.She shrugs nonchalantly like she has no questions. "Just bored. Decided to keep you company. Don't worry, I won't make a noise so you can go ahead with your work. I couldn't sleep either."I don't believe h

Jasmine's POV My heart squeezes as curiosity pricks at me at the heavy silence between us. It doesn't stop him from flashing me a cute smile at intervals as he prepares the meal, making me intrigued and drooling over him.I have always thought bad of Xavier but right now, everything is about to change. My notion about him being so cold-hearted that he can't feel love is wrong.But I can't figure out what exactly is going on between us. I don't know what to make of all these messed up, unexplainable and undefined tension and feelings between us.I don't even know if it's just me or it's mutual.One minute, I want to believe it is mutual and the next minute, my brain keeps telling me not to be deceived by any of this.I don't even know why I asked him that question in the first place. I should have known he would never answer me. I should have known Xavier wouldn't admit anything until we presented her to him.I guess I knew but I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I blurted it out before I

Xavier's POV A scream pierces the air, jerking me from my dreamland as I jump out of bed.My gaze darts to Jasmine on the other side of the bed, looking all around and I rush over to her, wrapping an arm around her as I caress her cheeks until her eyes lock on mine.Perhaps it was a nightmare.A nightmare is the only thing that can have her screaming her lungs off by this time.Suddenly, curiosity hits me, making me wonder if this nightmare is a regular thing. We barely share a bed and I can't tell if this is the first time this is happening or not.When I am sure that she is calmer, I ask. "Are you ok now?"She is far from ok. She doesn't look ok to me but I wait for her to respond, the sudden urge to take her trembling lips hitting me.Mentally slapping myself to take control of my fucking emotions, I stare right back at her. Her looks are unwavering, filled with something I can't place.Lust? Longing?I guess this is exactly how I feel and not how she feels but the last thing she

Jasmine's POV After making sure that Xavier is out of the bedroom, I step out of the bathroom with wobbling legs and my heart pounding erratically within my rib cage.It wasn't a dream.I have pinched myself several times while in the bathroom so I could wake up from this sweet dream but I am still here, standing and not on the bed, wide awake.That was a confession, wasn't it?Hate is the opposite of love. Xavier wanted us to tell each other lies about how we felt and he said he hated me.Hating me means he likes me.No. He loves me.Something jumps inside of me, almost forcing me to physically jump up in excitement.Everything seems too good to be real. It is fast. Unbelievable. Exciting. Sweet. And fulfilling, even though I can't say just how we got to this stage.When did all of this start?When did our feelings of hatred and disdain for each other change slowly to love?Is love the right word?Even though I am still not clear on everything, that confession means a lot and has cl

Andre's POV I spit in his face with a grin of satisfaction spreading across my entire face.Before I can enjoy the moment to the fullest, his huge hand strikes me across my face, making me taste blood on my lips.His face is as cold as ever. Just like I can remember.Anger fills me up, making me jerk upright and wishing I wasn't tied up so I could retaliate.I knew I was up for this. Getting caught means getting punished for my actions but the anger I feel right now isn't just for Xavier. I am more angry at my father. He ruined my plans.If only he was understanding like my mother, if only he didn't insist on marrying me off to this monster, maybe things would be different now. If only he hadn't deceived me into believing he was going to help me and I hadn't trusted him, maybe I would still be on my way to Paris.Now I regret not trusting Alex enough. I regret sneaking out like I always do. I regret not telling him where I was going.Maybe if I had done that, he would find me.No ma

Xavier's POV A troop of soldiers make their way to me as soon as I step out of the building where Andre is.I want to give her time to talk to her father before I decide on which punishment to give her. If only she was caught months back, I wouldn't need to think over the kind of punishment to melt to her because the deal was to be married.But I am married now.To someone else in her place and the idea of marrying Andre right now is displeasing to my ears.When they get close, I raise a brow in alarm. Before I can question them, they all bow with their weapons in place and the head soldier speaks up. "We got the alarm."My confusion intensifies. "What alarm?"He shares a look with the soldier beside him before turning to me. "We were told of the attack…""Attack?" I cut him short, turning around to see if Ethan is behind me. He isn't but Mathew is. "What the hell are they talking about?"Mathew does not reply. Instead, he moves forward and speaks to them before coming back to me."I

Xavier's POV There is a scumbag that I need to get rid of before I can finally be able to let Jasmine go if truly that is what she wants.That scumbag is Sebastian and it comes with eliminating every member of Vicenzo's group as well.Only then can I have peace of mind.Knowing full well that he is still out there, perhaps waiting patiently for the right time to strike, I am going crazy with worry.I have no idea where Jasmine is. I don't know if she is okay wherever she is or if she has fallen into his trap.Hoping for the latter, we kept looking for her for days until we found a trail. My men were also at work every single hour, both on the computers and on the streets.Finding Jasmine wasn't as hard as finding Andre. Andre had everything planned for days or even months before striking but Jasmine's actions were rash. It wasn't planned.She left with my credit card. The same one I gave to her in Italy. I didn't ask her for it because I wanted her to have access to money at any tim

The Mafia's Mistaken Bride THE END
Xavier's POV If there is anything I regret, it is inviting Alex to witness this and also asking him for advice on how to propose. The asshole clearly told me to use G****e which I did. Jasmine's kiss stops me from minding the silly jerk. I was ready to punch him in the face for spilling the beans and embarrassing me like that. Dragging me behind her with Alex acting all childish makes me wonder how Andre fell in love with the idiot. When we get inside, they all begin to chatter away leaving me to watch in awe. A lot has changed about me. Jasmine has changed me. Aside from Grandmother, I hate having family time like this. I don't know if it's because I barely have time for such or it's because it reminds me so much of my parents. I just hated it. But now, I have a new family. Aside from my Grandmother. Alex and Sophia are now part of that family despite my effort to push them away forever. Jasmine's gaze meets mine and she signals to come to take a seat while Alex pops the c
The Mafia's Mistaken Bride CHAPTER 90
Jasmine's POV With a blindfold over my face and after several attempts to get him to spill the beans about where we are going, the car comes to an abrupt stop.From the screeching sound, I can tell it is on sandy ground. It pricks my hibernating curiosity and I turn around unable to see anything.Finally, I felt his touch after hearing the sound of the car door opening. He places his hand on my back and another on my lap. Then he helps me out of the car without a word.Where are we? What is happening? What surprise awaits me here?I can't help but wonder, managing to hide away the fear gnawing at my heart as I push down the choking tide of panic building.Unable to hold it back any longer, I voice out barely in a whisper. "Where are we, Xavier?"He hushes me up as he helps me take slow steps on the sandy ground towards somewhere. The cool air hits my face as soon as we come to a stop. I am tempted to pull off the tight blindfold and look around. As if hearing my thought, he holds my

Xavier's POV Throbbing with a wild, raw, and primal feeling inside me, my tongue slides deep between her parted lips.From the moment she stepped into the restaurant, all I could see was her and all I could feel was pure admiration. She looked so beautiful and elegant in that black long dress that I could barely hold myself back from touching her.The sparkle in her eyes and the smile on her face didn't help in quenching my desire. The thought of being more intimate with each other intensified the heated lust already raging inside of me, filling me with wild and crazy imaginations of what I would do to her.The car comes to a stop and I flutter my eyes open, my hands on her back and my lips still on her.I couldn't resist not touching her as soon as we got into the car. She responded with the same energy and I almost lost it.Lifting my head, I brush back a stray piece of hair with my fingers. We local gazes for a second, breathless from the kiss before I say. "Let's get out of here.
The Mafia's Mistaken Bride CHAPTER 88
Jasmine's POV Stepping out of the white limo with an INGOO sleeveless backless black dress and cross strappy heels, saying I am anxious is an understatement.My heart is thumping wildly within my ribcage.My hands are trembling slightly despite my firm hold on my tiny purse.My lips are quivering in excitement mixed with nervousness as I glance around to see Mathew appear in front of me.He is wearing a black official suit.Before I can ask him where Xavier is, he presents a bouquet to me. I gasps slowly before taking it from him without any question.I'm sure this is from Xavier.With that in mind, I begin to feel teary. Bowing down, he sways his right hand towards a direction which I assume is where Xavier is. There is a door at the entrance and staring up at the high building, I see it is a diner.It is so beautiful from outside.Flashing him a smile, I walk along graciously, feeling tingles of excitement as I perceive the scent of the flowers in my hands.The transparent door sw
The Mafia's Mistaken Bride CHAPTER 87
Xavier's POV It took everything in me to say those words.Finally, I breathed out when it came out.I had to breathe in and out, unlocking my heart to say the one thing I have never said to any woman.Desire floods through me as I caress her entire body, deepening the kiss. Her body trembles with passion as she whispers against my lips. "I love you too, Xavier."It is taking everything in me not to scoop her up and throw her to the bed, to show her just how I want and love her and just how much I want to worship her beautiful milky body.She brings out a different part of me. That part I don't want to show anyone. She has managed to pull down that strong high wall I built around myself which makes me think I can never feel the emotion called love again.She holds onto me strongly, as though she is scared I will disappear. I hold her back with the same firmness, letting her melt into me with pleasure.Before I know it, I'm kissing her like she is the last air I need to breathe. I neve
The Mafia's Mistaken Bride CHAPTER 86
Jasmine's POV I can feel his fear. His fear of confessing his love for me and also the fear of not confessing so he wouldn't lose me.It makes me want to feel glad that my feelings are being reciprocated though not vocally. I have never been in a relationship before just like how he has never been in a serious relationship either.We are both new to this but I am willing to do all it takes for it to work, including confessing my love for him over and over again. But from what just happened, I realize Xavier isn't ready to do what I want. What I feel right now is anger. Pure anger coursed through me for his show of jealousy when he hasn't even admitted his feelings for me.If it wasn't Alex and it was just a casual friend of mine, is this how he would have embarrassed me publicly?So much for causing a scene.Ignoring the chuckle from Alex who is bleeding, I storm towards the exit, murmurs rising from others in the restaurant.I didn't slap Catherine when she introduced herself as
The Mafia's Mistaken Bride CHAPTER 85
Xavier's POV Jasmine isn't home.She has been ignoring me since we got back from Chicago. Our plan to go on an official date is ruined again.And I fucking miss her.I miss kissing and cuddling with her on our matrimonial bed. I know she needs some space and I gave her space. We haven't slept in the same bed for two days now.After deciding to put an end to all of this and inviting Nicholas and his wife to the mansion so we can clear the air, she isn't home.I tried her number but it is unreachable.Sebastian, who is a threat, is gone already but I still don't feel ok having gone without prior notice or any bodyguard with her.Anything can happen.Being my wife makes her an easy target.Restlessly, I pace the extent of our bedroom, trying her number again and again until it starts to ring.After ringing for almost a minute, it goes into voicemail.Goddammit!Impatiently, I stroll out heading towards the control room. I hope she hasn't done anything silly.I know she is sad about kno
The Mafia's Mistaken Bride CHAPTER 84
Jasmine's POV My Aunt's flat is the third one. Seeing that he is at the first flat, I nod at him in appreciation. He must be a local for him to have known the description so well.I tap Xavier and we both get down. The driver is going to wait till we are done so we can take us back to the airport.Xavier wanted us to come with his helicopter but I told him not to. I have my reasons.Dropping out of college was not intended. I wanted to go to school but I had to drop out when I could not afford my fees.Despite the years of working my ass off, I still don't have any savings. But I intend to still go back to school which was why I was in search of another job in Chicago before I crossed paths with Xavier.I don't mind going part time but I intend to start working again so I can afford my fees and go back.When we get close to the flat, I knock on the door and Xavier holds my hand, making me flash him a smile.I can hear rustles from inside and a few seconds later, the door is thrown op
The Mafia's Mistaken Bride CHAPTER 83
Jasmine's POV My aunt lives in the slum part of Chicago and I feel uncomfortable having Xavier with me on our way to see her.Even though I feel safer with him beside me. I snuggle closer to him in the back seat of the car we hired. We have been silent since we got to the airport.He keeps pressing kisses to my forehead and hair and it amazes me.Even though Xavier still has not said the love word, I know I mean a lot to him. It just saddens me that he doesn't know how to express his feelings vocally.This should be enough. His actions ought to be enough but I am not satisfied. I want assurance. I want him to say the word. I want us to be free with each other. To be able to tell each other anything and everything. To be able to share secrets. To understand each other's silence too.I don't regret loving him. I don't regret telling him I loved him anymore too. I just want him to say it back to me."We should go out to a nice restaurant after you meet with your Aunt, what do you think?
