The Mafia's Unwanted Wife TMUW 41: Frame Up
"Have you been waiting for a while now? I'm sorry if I took too long," I greeted Haze as I saw him sitting at the entrance of the cafe. He shook his head. "I just arrived. Although, I can't stay long either. You know." He shrugged. I wrinkled my nose and nodded. There wasn't much I could do about it. We hadn't been able to hang out for a long time because he was so busy. Throughout our entire time at the cafe, he was busy with his phone. I just let him be and occupied myself with other things. He invited me for a coffee break, but it seemed like he didn't really take a break because he was still working even when he wasn't at the office. "I'm really sorry, Aurora. Let's hang out another time. I'm really busy, sorry," he apologized. I shook my head. "It's okay, I understand that you're really busy. Just call me when you're free, I'm not doing anything anyway," I replied. "I told you not to come here. I have my car, but you still followed me," I joke. "I feel bad for not talking t

Trembling with fear, I slowly made my way out of the condo. My knees felt weak, and I was taken aback when I came face to face with a life-sized plastic statue of Azrael, the angel of death, right as I opened the door. I instinctively pushed Lucas's hand away, perhaps He heard my scream. "When will you stop this?" I asked him, tears streaming down my face. "How did you even manage to bring this inside?" I questioned again when he didn't respond. "Lucas!" I called out to him, but he left without saying a word. I was left sitting on the floor, crying. In a hurry, I gathered my belongings that had fallen on the floor and put them back in my bag. I practically ran to the exit in an attempt to catch up with Lucas. However, due to my slow pace, I couldn't see his car anymore. In the end, I decided to go to his condo unit. As I had expected, Lucas wasn't there as his door was closed. I was about to leave when something strange caught my attention. I can't explain it, but I felt a shive

I laughed after giving him a cold look, causing him to pause in his approach. "Lying is your real hobby," I remarked. "You know the person behind all of this, don't you?" I asked. In an instant, the emotions vanished from his eyes, and he looked away from me. "I thought you claimed to have no knowledge of the accusations against you," I continued. "I wasn't informed that I'm being buried next month. So they also know when I'm going to die?" I said, chuckling about the tombstone. "I look good inside the coffin," I joked. "Why aren't you saying anything?" I asked. "What do you want me to say?" he retorted. "You said you had no knowledge of the allegations against you, but here you are with pictures of me inside a coffin and even a tombstone," I said. "Do you really enjoy fooling people, Lucas? Does it make you happy to see how ignorant I am? Is it difficult to admit that you know everything? Now, tell me, where did you come from after seeing Azrael inside my unit? Did you visit the

I sipped my coffee silently as I watched the news on TV. I thought it was best to stay here at Mommy's house for a while. It had been several days since my life had been thrown into turmoil. I glanced at my cellphone as it vibrated once again. It was Lucas. He had been trying to contact me for days, and I had no strength to talk to him. I was angry because he couldn't bring himself to tell me why I was receiving death threats. I was frustrated with him because it seemed so difficult for him to clarify what I was going through. "Why aren't you answering Lucas' calls, Aurora? It might be important," Daddy said as he found me in the living room. I forced a smile and didn't respond further. They knew nothing about it because I chose not to tell them. I was afraid that they might get dragged into the sudden chaos that had entered my life. "Are you two fighting?" he asked. "No—" "Then answer his call," he said with a knowing smile, glancing at my cellphone as it rang again. Reluctant

"Daddy, I'll be taking Aurora with me to the condo. The villa I bought is still in the process, so please bear with me for the meantime if she stays at my condo," Lucas requested. Daddy gave him a reassuring pat on the back. "I know you won't let any harm come to my daughter," he said. He gave a slight nod to Lucas while Mommy just smiled at us until we were outside. I didn't want to go with Lucas, but I didn't have much of a choice. I didn't want Daddy and Mommy to be dragged into this mess. It wasn't unlikely that they could target them here, and I didn't want that. Besides, Lucas really didn't force me to come with him. In fact, he preferred me to stay here, as he might not be at the condo often. I pursed my lips when I saw his motorbike. Despite knowing he was in danger, he still opted to ride a motorbike. I kissed Mommy and Daddy goodbye and joined Lucas, but my eyebrows furrowed when I noticed that we were taking different routes. "Where are you going?" he asked when he re

"Lucas, you know... I've changed my mind. I won't go with yoy anymore," I insisted while looking at myself in front of the mirror. "Aurora." His voice seems to be threatening, but still... I shook my head. "What about Iris? Go and fetch her to come with you. Come on, I'll just stay here in your condo." "You're already dressed and ready. Let's go," he urged. I hesitated. The truth was, I was also having second thoughts about joining him. Knowing that Lucas was a well-known figure, I couldn't help but think that people would recognize me as Iris nor they will think that I am Lucas mistress because I was unfamiliar with them. Iris is the only person they were used to seeing with him. I even expected that people would mistake Iris for his wife instead of me. I didn't want to add more chaos to my life. There were already so many things happening to me, and I couldn't afford to add another problem. Moreover, I lacked confidence in myself. I had always believed that I wasn't good enough

I struggled to catch my breath after waking up, my body drenched from the cold water they had poured on me. Laughter from the people around me greeted my ears as I opened my eyes, filled with a growing sense of fear. "Who are you?" I asked, my voice shaking despite my attempt at bravado. A man was approaching me with a malicious grin spread across his lips as he peered down at me. "Do you not remember me?" he asked, tilting his head while studying me. "I won't bother asking if I know you," I replied defiantly. I turned my head sharply when a loud slap landed on my cheek. My jaw clenched, and I glared at him. "What have I done to you? Have I wronged you in any way for you to do this?" I questioned. "It seems you do remember me," he remarked with amusement. "Did you enjoy the gifts we left you? It was quite entertaining to watch you and your husband arguing in the parking lot by the way. It's not the right time to kill you both yet, and so... but you've left us with no choice. Yo

"Is this what you want, Aurora?" Lucas asked calmly. Just a few minutes after I woke up in the hospital, he was already giving me a sermon. My head was already hurting, and he was adding to it. "I've been telling you for a long time not to meddle in my life, but because of your stubbornness, this is what you get!" "Can you please be quiet?" I said irritably. "Lucas, I haven't even had enough rest, and now you're lecturing me—" "Because you're giving me another problem!" he shouted. "I told you that you'd just add to my problems, but you didn't listen to me—" "I never said to include me in your damn problems. I didn't ask for your help. You offered to help on your own, and I just accepted it. You didn't say that it would bother you to help. If you had let me know, I wouldn't have come along with you," I interrupted his tirade. It just hurts that he's blaming me for everything that's happening when, in fact, nobody wanted any of the things that happened to me after those damn peop

The Mafia's Unwanted Wife LAST CHAPTER
I was sore down there. When I woke up, Lucas was still sound asleep. I rummaged through his clothes to find something to wear and cover my body. My outfit was ruined from the outside down to my underwear. He was a beast! Even though I could barely walk properly, I felt no regret. I wanted it, and I won't deny it. He didn't stop until I was begging him to. I only managed to rest for a bit, but I woke up to him making love to my body again. I went straight to the kitchen to get some water. I must have run out of fluids in my body because of what he did. He was trying to hold himself back earlier, but when he laid me down on his bed, it was like he was going to tear me apart. I coughed when I felt his arms wrap around my waist and Lucas burying his face in my neck. "One more?" he asked, pulling me slightly, causing me to feel his hardness against my back. "I'll cut that off," I threatened him. I hadn't even had a proper rest! He just laughed while teasing my breasts, and

"You want more?" I brought the pasta closer to her that I hadn't touched. I was busy watching her enjoy the food I made. She hesitated to look at it. "Don't you want it?" she asked. I shook my head. "I'm not hungry," I replied. "You're wasting food. You shouldn't have cooked so much," she complained, although she was smiling as she took my plate. "Take it easy on the wine. You have low alcohol tolerance," I reminded her. She just smiled at me and gave her full attention to the pasta she was eating. "Does your fiancé know that I'm the one you're visiting here? Does he even know me? Who I am in your life?" She stared at me for a long time while chewing slowly, as if she was thinking. "Of course," she eventually answered. "Do I know him?" "You do," she replied affirmatively. "I'm just going to change my clothes," I said as I left her there. How I envy her for being able to move on and heal her heart that fast while here I am, still stuck on the day when she left me. I quick

"Put me down!" she complained as I carried her like a sack of rice. "Stop squirming!" I said, starting to get annoyed. When I opened my car, I finally put her inside. She looked at me with such anger in her eyes that it felt like she wanted to kill me. "I dare you to open that damn door. It is not funny, Aurora," I said seriously. "Why are you forcing me to go with you? I already said I want to go home—" "And I insisted to take you to your hotel. Yet, we need to talk first." "We have nothing to talk about, Lucas." I turned to the driver's seat. "Yes, we do. You haven't told me why you came here. Was it so important that you flew here when you could have just called me—" She laughed, which made me turn to her. "Call you for what? So I wouldn't see your girlfriend?" "She's not my girlfriend," I corrected her. "You kissed, and now she's not your girlfriend? Damn, what? Are you going to throw your girlfriend away?" "That was an accident, Aurora! I didn't kiss her," I defended

I gasped a breath before facing her. She was silently looking at me while I faced her. A mix of anxiety and fear consumed my system, but I didn't let it show. "Aurora," I said her name. "Lucas," she called me. I could see the surprise in her eyes as if she didn't expect to see me in front of her now. Her eyes pierced through me and looked behind. Even without looking, I knew she was looking at Justine. "You left your girlfriend," she said, now unable to look directly into my eyes. "What are you doing here?" I asked her. After four years, here she is... in front of me. I don't know how to act because I was too shocked by the situation and the fact that she saw me in such a bad state. If... If I could just hug her tight, I would. My attention shifted to her lips as she bit them, something she does whenever she is holding back from saying something. I tried to follow her eyes, but it seemed she was avoiding our eyes meeting. "I got a job offer somewhere here. The driver dropped m
The Mafia's Unwanted Wife III: LUCAS POV
I had been staring at her face for a long time. I was controlling myself not to make a move just to avoid scaring her. She was crying in front of me, and God knows how hard I was trying to hold back the urge to pull her into my arms. Seeing her cry made me want to cry too. As much as I didn't want to see her in tears, I couldn't do anything. I couldn't blame her because I knew she was carrying a heavy burden in her heart. She left the Pines without clarity about what happened before. She planted anger, and it seemed that it hadn't gone away until now. I am not asking her to forgive me anytime soon. I just want to apologize for what I did. I know that forgiveness isn't easy. I never planned to say goodbye to her. It was never on my list to talk to her before I leave, but I had no choice; it seemed this was meant to happen. "Goodbye," I love you. I could no longer hold back the tears streaming down my cheeks, so I hurried back to my car. I cried quietly as I watched her in front

"Aurora left her kids here. I can't leave them," Chris began as he answered my call. "Where did she go?" I asked, raising my eyebrows in concern. She still hadn't gotten over what happened before. She still leaves our kids anywhere. "I told you I can't leave the kids. How will I know? I am in front of Aurora's parents' house. The kids are playing outside," he reported. "I'm heading there now," I replied and ended the call. I turned the steering wheel to go back. Christian had said he was going somewhere, and I couldn't leave my children unattended. I wouldn't forgive myself if something bad happened to them. This is the only way I can ensure their safety. I had been away for a long time, though not literally since there were times I visited Sitel even when they weren't aware. "Thanks," I thanked Chris as he said he was leaving. "Superman!" shouted a familiar child's voice that made me turn. I looked back to see who was calling. Liam had a big smile on his face. Looking at his

"What are you doing here?" Noah asked. He was in front of me. If looks could kill, I would have been lying dead a long time ago. There were just some police around us, and I know how it feels like. The difference is that I was imprisoned because of Aurora's wish for me to be locked up, while this guy in front of me was here because he tried to kill someone. "Did Aurora visit you?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer. I was hearing updates about what was happening with Aurora. Chris was helping me keep an eye on her. It's not that I wanted to invade her privacy, but I needed to. The last time I decided to stop checking on her, in just a span of a fucking second, her life was in danger again. "She has already been discharged from the hospital, for your information. It seems your mother didn't tell you or give any updates about Aurora yet," I added. I smirked when I saw that he seemed to be interested in what I was saying. I felt pity for this friend of Aurora's. He had
The Mafia's Unwanted Wife TMUW 104: Goodbye
I was left sitting here outside the house. Several hours have passed, and until now, Lucas and my children have not returned yet. I have peeked multiple times at the passing vehicles, hoping that one of them carries Luna and Liam. I wanted so much to rest, but I can't. I will wait for them to come back here. I can't bear it if my children were to disappear from me as well. They are my only family. Lucas cannot just steal my kids away and hide them from me. I have more rights than he does if we are going to talk about the kids, but what can I do if he has completely kept them away from me? I wiped the tears that flowed from my eyes. I am getting tired of crying. If I had known this would happen, I would have just stayed inside the house. If I knew that leaving my children just to talk to their father would lead to being separated from them, I wouldn't have left them. I messed up my hair again. Thoughts keep racing through my mind. I swear to God. I could spend all my money just to
The Mafia's Unwanted Wife TMUW 103: Late
I was almost ready to fly my car. The problem was that due to rush hour, I was having a hard time weaving in and out. I had been honked at by the cars I was overtaking, but my desire to catch up with Lucas prevailed. I couldn't explain why I felt anxious. I had just said earlier that I would keep my kids away from him, yet here I was, nearly crashing my vehicle just to reach his condo building. Why didn't he tell me he was leaving? If Noah hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known at all. After everything, he was going to leave? He would just abandon everything and bury it all? Did he want to start a new life and live more quietly? I exhaled forcefully through my nose. I grabbed my hair in frustration while staring at the car in front of me. Those few seconds felt like several minutes. "Damn you, Lucas," I muttered angrily. I kept glancing at my cellphone. I couldn't sit still as time kept ticking away. I didn't even know if I would still catch Lucas at his condo. My eyes we
