The Substitute Bride of the Mafia Tycoon Chapter 38: Try
I slowly opened my eyes, and Zeno’s face welcomed my sight. When my vision adjusted, I noticed that he was staring at me while there was a smile written on his lips. “Good morning,” he greeted while using his breathy voice.“Good morning,” I greeted and closed my eyes when his lips reached mine.I was clinging to the bedsheet tightly because of the shock. It’s still early, but this man kissed me suddenly! I haven’t even brushed my teeth yet, and he does this! Sometimes I really can’t help but be surprised if this man wakes up in the morning, staring at me until I wake up, then kissing me without a warning!Gradually, his head slowly moved away, indicating that the kiss we shared was over. When I met his eyes, I just frowned because of what he did. But the crazy thing is, he just smiled at me as if he liked my reaction.“What? You didn’t expect me to get my morning kiss at you?” he asked me mischievously. He even raised his eyebrows repeatedly to tease me. He couldn’t even erase the sm

“Oh my! We caught a lot of king crabs! They are so huge!” I exclaimed when Zeno finally placed the trap on the frozen sea. It’s just nice because it’s just one trap. As far as I remember, Ciara bought ten traps that she commanded from our bodyguards.When we woke up, we immediately got ready to check the traps that Jake and Ciara had set. They also placed a blue flag beside the baits, so we knew where we were going. We were also lucky to catch numerous king crabs today. Sometimes you get nothing, sometimes you will catch tons of king crabs. Surprisingly, the first trap we visited was almost full. Fortunately, we also had a lot of bodyguards with us and they were carrying many coolers.Our bodyguards helped remove the king crabs from the trap. You will not notice that they are bodyguards because they look like ordinary people like us. Maybe that’s one of their disguises, so they won’t be mistaken for our allies.We returned the small king crabs we caught to the hole they made yesterday

Zeno is heading back to our country. It feels awful, but I endure it since I realized he was doing it for the sake of us, so I ought not to complain. He was done gathering all of his possessions and gazing at me as if I might vanish into his existence.“Have I never said how lovely you are?” Zeno inquired, using his raspy voice. I don’t know why his voice sounded different to me. It appears to be capable of expressing a wide range of emotions, but perhaps I am not.I shook my head lightly and tilted my head, waiting for him to explain it but the corner of his lips curved until it turned out to be a wide smile before approaching me, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me closer to him like he used to.“You have a glistening reddish tan skin, almond eyes with natural long and curly eyelashes.” His fingers caressed my eyes until his fingers went down to my nose. “A cute nose that suits your face and then my favorite part,” he smiled before giving me a sweet and passionate kiss

“What is the news about Kazimir’s house that exploded or burned in Germany?” I heard Ciara ask.I am currently cooking our food. I’ve been cooking for a few days now and I can say that I’m getting used to it. Except for baking because I’m having a hard time, but at least I’m making progress. When I felt Ciara’s presence, I suddenly looked at the kitchen’s entrance and saw Jake beside her, who had just woken up. Fortunately, I was about to finish cooking so I also prepared the plates and utensils that we will use. What I cooked was also simple. I prepared a roast beef sandwich and a chicken sandwich. For drinks, I prepared a bourbon spiked hot chocolate for us and it was all thanks to Zeno’s cookbook.“They didn’t find any evidence there. Keifer tried to find the footage in that house but found nothing. Luckily, Elijah deleted all the footage from where we were still living there before he transferred everything to his laptop,” Jake retorted and sipped his hot chocolate. He glances at

“Oh! You’re here. I was calling you a while ago. You didn’t hear it?” I heard someone ask, so I glanced at the door to see Ciara, who was looking at me.“No, I was preoccupied,” I answered.“About what? You’ve been zoning out lately. If ever that something was bothering you, you can share it with me,” Ciara uttered.I let out a deep sigh when I remembered my parents’ suspicious acts. The guns, the bodyguards, my father’s business at night. Everything seems to have a meaning behind that. So instead of thinking about it, I’d rather ask them if my parents are connected to them and if they are also a member of their organizations.“Ciara, do you think my parents died because of the mafia? Are they connected to your organization?” I asked frankly, and she was taken aback as if she didn’t expect me to ask that question. Her eyes widened, her lips parted, and it indicated that she was surprised by my question.Based on her reaction, my parents seem to be members of a mafia organization, and t

“Annalise! You better hide!” Jake exclaimed when he opened the door. My forehead creases when I glance at him because he’s pale and he’s breathing so hard, as if something happened. He immediately picked up Czyanne, who was peacefully lying on the bed, before handing him to me.Ciara suddenly entered my room while also panting. I’m confused. They look confused and scared for some reason that I don’t know. Why do they look so tense?“Damn it! Kazimir! They found us!” Ciara screamed while holding a gun, which made my eyes widen.“Annalise, open your signal so they can track you,” Jake commanded, and I followed him right away, only to find out that they were now in a panic.“We didn’t expect them to locate Annalise that fast!” I heard Keifer say.“Ciara, go with Annalise,” Jake uttered.“Jake, that’s dangerous! You need to come with us!” Ciara yelled at him.“I need to pester them so you can go to the location that Kazimir has sent! You both need to go there as much as possible!” Jake sh

“Annalise!” Zeno exclaimed when we arrived at this luxurious house.I can’t tell if I can be happy now that I have finally seen him because of the incident. I wanted to cry about the situation we have because things are now getting worse than I expected. I thought we would live peacefully, but it seems like it’s now impossible.“How are you? Are you hurt?” Zeno asked when he reached for me before glancing at Czyanne. His eyes became soft and tried to touch Czyanne.Zeno’s face and body are still the same as the last time I saw him. Good thing he’s doing his best to maintain his body and health while dealing with our enemies.“How’s Jake?” Ciara asked, so our attention darted to her, who was now looking at Kazimir.“He survived. He only got a slight wound, but he will come here immediately when he is sure that no one will follow him,” Kazimir replied.I examined our companions and noticed that there were a few people I didn’t know. Maybe it’s their allies, but I have no time to know th

Annalise Ysia Villareal’s Point of View“I apologize for my hectic schedule. You know, I’m currently striving hard on my novel and I feel delighted when I accomplish it. I submitted it to my editor a few days ago, and I was simply waiting for the results—”“So you’re concerned with your profession and neglecting your partner? Annalise, did you truly love me, or do you merely enjoy the thought of loving me? Because I can’t feel it,” Fitz said. “You always claim you have affection and concern for me, but I fail to sense it. Your behavior seems to indicate otherwise.”I was simply gazing at him, speaking with those aggravating remarks that I had never imagined I’d received from him. For three years, he’s been a nice, caring, and affectionate partner, but now I can no longer recognize him. Did I neglect him, causing him to be like this?I hadn’t predicted this since I assumed he’d understood me in attaining my goals, but it turned out that he was left with no option but to acknowledge me.

The Substitute Bride of the Mafia Tycoon Chapter 37: Always remember that
I opened my eyes when I felt that someone was staring at me and, to my astonishment, it was Zeno. He was carrying our son, Czy and it suits him being a father. To my surprise, I almost sat up immediately as my eyes widened. My mouth was barely open when it suddenly occurred to me that this was not a dream.“Zeno?” I uttered while looking at him, baffled. “How did you get here? Didn’t they follow you? I thought you were busy protecting your friends in digging for data that would help you find the person behind this matter?”Two weeks have passed, if I’m not mistaken. After the meeting that night, Kazimir flew back to our country to continue their agenda.We’ve been trying to adapt to this place and I often fall asleep in the daytime because Czy has always been awake at night even if I try to flash him his father’s photo.“They didn’t. Kazimir assured me that I could visit you and our son.” He sat next to me and kissed my forehead, and I closed my eyes for a few seconds to feel his warm

“Where are you?” Zeno asked when I opened the signal of the earphone that Kazimir gave. I gently close the door so that Czy doesn’t wake up. He was currently sleeping because he was tired of playing with Ciara and Jake.When I closed the door of my room, I inhaled deeply. “I was in Finland because Ciara said we had to leave right away because she and Jake felt like someone was following us. Kazimir could do nothing but agree and we evacuated immediately. I just didn’t expect that we would be leaving in the morning.”“What do you mean? Do they feel like someone is following you?” Zeno asked and I could hear that he was bewildered by what he heard.“Yes,” I answered.“It turns out that Kazimir was just going there. Fortunately, he felt good and quickly. I don’t know what I will do if something bad happens to you two,” he mumbled, gritting his teeth. “Take care always. If something bad ever happens, just leave your signal on so we can track you right away.”My forehead creased at what he
