The Mafia's Mistaken Bride CHAPTER 66
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 CHAPTER 67
Jasmine's POV To be honest, cutting him off with a kiss wasn't the plan.I never thought I would do that. Never in my wildest dreams. I never knew he was going to even show up or find me.But here he is.And I am gripping the back of his shirt as the gentle kiss he is pressing onto my lips is doing unimaginable things to me.Things I have never felt in the 24 years of my existence. Not having him here has been killing me. It has me worried for my safety and scared for what awaits me outside his mansion.I guess that is why I haven't been able to summon up enough courage to get the hell out of here. Out of New York. And back to Chicago.The thought of Vicenzo still haunts me, even though he is dead now. But I am still scared for my life. Sebastian is still very much alive and he will do worse than Vicenzo if I ever get into his hands.Xavier promised to protect me.But I ran away.Now that I think of it, I remember just how much I was boiling in rage when the realization dawned on me
The Mafia's Mistaken Bride CHAPTER 68
Xavier's POVEver since I saw her, my chest no longer feels like there is a hundred pounds of weight on it but the sinking feeling of dread is still there.The sinking dread I felt at the thought of her falling into the hands of Vicenzo's men which got me so restless.Even after finding her, it is still very much present and that made me do this.Kidnap her.Kidnapping her for the second time was the only option I was left with. I knew persuading her to follow me back home wouldn't be that easy.After making sure that she was deeply asleep, we left the hotel and I brought her back home.Coming out of the second building, I make my way to the main house to check if she is finally awake. She slept soundly all through the night.She must be awake already. It's almost noon.I enter the front door and walk swiftly towards the staircase which I take up before heading to our bedroom.I just had a conversation with Andre and it's obvious she isn't ready to reveal who has been helping her esca
The Mafia's Mistaken Bride CHAPTER 69
Jasmine's POV One single fear that keeps me locked up in this room, with no courage to step out for a second for some fresh air is the thought of crossing paths with my look alike.I don't know why I am so scared of seeing her. I don't know what I am supposed to say to her or how I am supposed to react to seeing a woman whose life I have replaced for four months now.Aside from that, the fact that Xavier might be in love with her hits me harder in the face. I don't stand a chance with her. I know this and it makes my heart ache terribly.I should have known that falling for a man like Xavier was way too dangerous.It's been a week since I came back. Since Xavier brought me back here I haven't gone out of this room. It reminds me of the first few days after he kidnapped me away from Chicago that night.The only difference is that this time I keep myself busy with reading the books I got from the store and also my phone.I have managed to open social media accounts too.The door opens
The Mafia's Mistaken Bride CHAPTER 70
Xavier's POV Her packed white hair catches my attention first.Then the elegant nude degrading Capri evening dress she is wearing, makes my jaws drop in admiration.She flashes me a smile and I stand up to drag out a seat for her, not knowing what exactly to do, whether to hug her or peck her forehead.Muttering a thank you, she slides to the seat and I go back to my seat. When I am seated, I continue to stare at her beautiful face.I am mesmerized by her dress and look except for one thing.Her hair.I thought she was going to disguise it with that black wig. The same one she normally uses but she isn't.For the very first time in years, I feel nervous. I feel like there is something I am not doing.This is a date and I should be relaxed but I am not. Perhaps, it's because this is my first. I don't do dates or relationships. All I had ever had were one-night stands and casual flings like that of Catherina's.Soft music begins to flow through the restaurant, jerking me back to realit
The Mafia's Mistaken Bride CHAPTER 71
Jasmine's POV My stomach lurches at his request while I continue to watch him with folded arms, hoping for a spark of warmth, love and comfort in his blue eyes.But there is nothing.They are just hard and cold. Reminding me of the man who kidnapped me four months ago from Chicago.It feels like the Xavier I fell in love with is different from that man.His so-called brother on the other hand is still gaping at him, making me irritated. I don't know if this irritation is from the mere fact that he had a thing with Andre or because I am still mad from last night.Xavier isn't even trying to make me feel better. The jerk is pretending as if nothing happened.What exactly does he mean by asking me to accompany Alex to Andre's place? I am tempted to tell him a big NO. I want to defy him for once but on second thought, I want to use this to my advantage.I should see Mr. Moore.It is still early and if we can leave now, I should be able to see him.Without a word, I walk past both men; X
The Mafia's Mistaken Bride CHAPTER 72
Andre's POV One touch from this man, no matter how small, always manages to send me reeling. When he rests his forehead on mine, electricity shoots down my spine, making the rest of the world fade away and bringing tears to my eyes. I fucking miss him. I thought I was never going to see him again. I was worried he would be damn mad at me for running off. Now that I am seeing him even though I don't know how he managed to come here, the first thing I did was to slap him instead of hugging the hell out of him. Someone clears her throat and my gaze shifts to my look alike. She is the replica of me. Her eyes, face and body. The only difference is the hair and the way she is watching us. I don't look at people that way. Also, she seems smaller and timid. Just then, it hit me. Alex came here with her. How come? Did he mistake her for me too just like how Xavier did? I step away from Alex who is grinning from ear to ear. "What…" I trail off pointing from him to her. I can't re
The Mafia's Mistaken Bride CHAPTER 73
Xavier's POV I feel sick as I circle the pool, the memory of how Jasmine fell into the pool the day we left for Italy rushing into my head.I've not been myself all morning. I've been so restless.At first, it felt as if something was going to happen but when I entered our bedroom this morning and saw Jasmine lying on her back and scrolling through her phone, relief washed through me.But the dreadful feeling is still there.I don't know how long I have to hope for this. Even though I know the reason for this feeling.Sebastian.The fact that he is out there and can strike at any more scares me. The fact that we can't trace him or any of his men.I just want Jasmine to be saved. When he is out of the way, I know I won't feel this way anymore. She will be safe. I would have fulfilled my promise of protecting her from Vicenzo or anyone relating to him.Realizing that she ought to be back, I check the wristwatch on my wrist.It is almost 2 pm already and they have been gone for two hour

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

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
The Mafia's Mistaken Bride CHAPTER 89
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

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?
