illegal Wife by Accident XXVI - "I'm not going to marry you anymore, Draven."
My heart began to beat wildly, as I watched in terror as Dax changed without a care in the world and Draven was already on his way up the stairs. In a few short seconds, I fixed myself and cleaned up where the sample of what I shouldn't have done on the couch was left; they were moments of great terror, which a man like Dax did not perceive, since in his mind there was no remorse and he was not afraid to face anyone who crossed him. He hid behind the front door as if that was the solution and he signaled me to be quiet, breathe and sit down, as if nothing had happened. His look was calm, as if he was prepared for any action and I feared I was endangering Draven. The door opened cutting my breath for a second and the small lamp next to the door lit up, it was a minimal presence, but it was enough to let my presence be noticed and he was surprised for a second. "God, Amy, you scared me," he said, setting things down on the couch, "Honey, are you okay, you look strange. After wha

"Dax," I said in surprise, unable to believe what I had done. He was supposed to let me say goodbye without anyone knowing the truth, I was simply supposed to disappear from the lives of all my loved ones, as if a new person had taken over me. That I had changed, that the traumas of the Vegas trip had made me realize the life I was missing out on, everything I really wanted. Draven wasn't aggressive, he didn't have the slightest intention of hurting another person and he didn't know how to fight, so he was easily overpowered by Dax: the fear that the Dangello's could provoke, it froze your blood, as if they had taken over your system. However, I wasn't planning on letting Dax go hurt my fiancé, it wasn't part of the plan. He wasn't even supposed to be in the apartment and I let him be, simply because of how I felt. I got carried away and made the worst mistake. At that moment I felt betrayed in a way for trusting someone who had already shown me that he was not to be trusted;

I felt like I was on a roller coaster, dizzy before the emotions that hit my abdomen with force and how lost my conscience was, before the turmoil of my life and the eyes of different color that accompanied me that same night; the cause of my hormonal desperation, as if the law of male pheromones had been injected into my skin as soon as he his hands surrounded my existence.Learning to reason clearly probably had to be some of my worst flaws in the view of my captors, yet I had not had to be forced to pretend to live ever and that was what I had to do to keep my heart beating.What was wrong with my mind to hide my suffering and replace it with the burning fire that melted me from within?His hands squeezed the black leather steering wheel, swelling the veins and exposing the tension of his muscles, like an image no woman would want to miss. While his bushy, dark eyebrows pressed against his eyelids, invading the small space with a clear sign that he was not in the mood and that a sim

Chapter 29The roar of the private jet’s engines barely masked the sound of my racing heart. From the moment Dax had dragged me onto this plane, I’d been on high alert, searching for options, a way out—anything. But there was nothing. No open door, no friendly face. It was just me, trapped in a world I didn’t understand, spinning completely out of control.Maddox sat on the other side of the cabin, a glass of whiskey in hand, his piercing gray eyes locked onto mine. That glacial gaze made me feel stripped bare, as if every thought I had was on display for him to dissect.“Enjoying the flight, Amalia?” he asked, his voice calm yet laced with a warning that sent shivers down my spine.“What do you really want from me?” My voice came out steadier than I expected, though my hands trembled at my sides.He set his glass down on the polished table and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees.“I want you to understand your place.”“My place?” I scoffed, feeling a surge of defiance rise

The constant sound of the jet's engine became a distant hum as the plane ascended into the darkness of the night. I didn’t care about the noise or the movement of the air. Everything seemed irrelevant, as if time had stopped existing. I was caught between fear and curiosity, between the decisions I had made and the ones I still couldn’t understand.I looked out the window, watching the lights of Rome fade quickly into the distance. Everything I knew, everything that had once been familiar, was disappearing as we flew higher. What was I really doing? Where were they taking me? The question hammered in my mind over and over, but the answer was always the same: I had no idea.Beside me, Maddox sat motionless in his seat, staring out at the horizon. It wasn’t a look of love or concern. It was a cold, calculating look that always made me feel small and insignificant. He didn’t look at me like a woman; he looked at me like another piece on his chessboard. And I was well aware of that. Someho

The plane descended smoothly, the sound of the engine changing as we touched down. I was trapped in my own silence, not because I wanted to be, but because I couldn’t break it. The Dangello brothers had dragged me into their world, and now that I was in the heart of it, everything seemed unreal. The lights of Rome quickly faded as the plane landed on the runway. I didn’t know what to feel.Maddox and Dax didn’t bother to look if I was feeling comfortable or nervous. They simply stood up, as if this moment were nothing out of the ordinary. I no longer had space for questions. My doubts faded into the air like smoke. I was here with them, and that meant I no longer had control over my destiny.The ride in the car was silent. Not a word between us. Not a single gesture indicating that they cared about me, or that I cared about them. The Dangello brothers looked at me only as a piece that needed to fit into a place they had designed for me, and the more I thought about it, the clearer it b

The pain in my chest didn’t disappear. On the contrary, it grew stronger. The mansion I was in seemed to crumble on top of me, a gilded cage, but a cage nonetheless. It didn’t matter what the Dangello brothers said, it didn’t matter what they promised me, the reality was that I no longer had control over anything. I was a piece in their game, a pawn on a board I hadn’t chosen.Maddox and Dax had left me alone in one of the largest rooms in the mansion, with walls adorned in gold and heavy curtains falling over the windows. Everything in this place was designed to make me feel small. To constantly remind me that I was nothing more than another item in a luxury closet. I felt invisible, as if my presence here was nothing but a void they needed to fill.I sat on the bed, my hands clenched on the sheets, not knowing what to do or where to go. I felt a mix of anger, fear, and desperation. I couldn’t bear to be here. I couldn’t bear being controlled like this. But at the same time, I couldn’

The weight of the mansion continued to crush me, as if every corner was designed to remind me how small and insignificant I felt. The opulence was nothing but a facade, a constant reminder that I was trapped. It wasn’t just the wealth surrounding me—it was the power. A power that went beyond what I imagined, beyond what I could understand. The Dangello brothers weren’t just powerful in their world; they had enemies as dark and dangerous as they were.Maddox, in particular, was a man who not only controlled the situation I found myself in but was at the top of a network of influences that extended far beyond what anyone could see. There was something about his presence, his gaze, that made it clear that he wasn’t just a powerful man. He was someone who could move mountains and destroy empires with a single word. And I, despite everything I had been through, still didn’t know if I was his victim or simply another piece on his chessboard.That morning, unlike others, there was no silence

illegal Wife by Accident CVIII - Echoes on the Skin
The first ray of sunlight slipped through the gap in the curtain, tracing a golden line across the messy bed. The warmth of Maddox’s body still lingered in the sheets, even though he was no longer there.I sat up slowly, still wrapped in the slow rhythm of our night. Every muscle ached in new ways—not from physical exhaustion, but from the emotional intensity still vibrating in my bones.Maddox had been... different.There had been a fierce tenderness in his touch. A restrained need that didn’t come from desire, but from something deeper. More dangerous.An attachment he didn’t want to admit.I wrapped the sheet around me and stepped out of the room. The hallway was quiet, but not empty. I could feel his presence before I saw him.And there he was.Standing by the window in the main room, a cup of coffee in hand, eyes fixed on the horizon. He wore only his suit pants, his shirt unbuttoned, and the sunlight kissed his back as if trying to understand him too.When he heard my steps, he

The contact was barely a touch.But for both of them, it was the end of resistance.Amalia felt the slight tremble in Maddox's fingers when he touched her. It wasn't insecurity—it was the weight of everything he always held back. The words he never said. The emotions he had denied, even when he desired her, even when he protected her like his life depended on it.This time, he didn’t stop.His lips brushed hers with a gentleness that shattered her. As if he didn’t want to break her. As if he knew that if he crossed that line, there would be no going back.She held him by the nape, pulling him closer, and he lost control.He kissed her with a silent desperation. A mix of need, guilt, desire, and redemption. As if she were his only way out. His only peace.Maddox gripped her waist, pulling her toward him. His hard, tense body enveloped hers completely. The brush of his torso against hers made her burn inside. It wasn’t just heat—it was connection. The kind of fire that consumes you slow

The roar of engines echoed through the trees.Amalia adjusted her tactical jacket as she descended the hill alongside Maddox, Dax, and Max. Leaves crunched beneath their boots. In the distance, a cloud of dust rose: Cillian’s men were on the move.“Left flank, Dax. Don’t let anyone come through the stream,” Maddox ordered without turning. His voice was clear, sharp. Undeniably a leader, without hesitation.“Got it,” Dax replied, drawing both his knife and pistol. His smile was tense but electric—like he’d been waiting for this moment for weeks.“Max, with me,” Maddox continued. “We’ll greet them head-on. Amalia…”She looked up.“What?”“You decide,” Maddox said, his gray eyes locked on hers. “Do you lead the second line of defense or come to the front?”Amalia swallowed. It was the first time he openly gave her the choice. He wasn’t sidelining her or treating her like a burden.“The front,” she answered without hesitation.A flicker of approval crossed Maddox’s face. Just for a second
illegal Wife by Accident CV - The Forbidden Name
The name hung in the air like an ancient poison.Gian.Amalia hadn’t heard it in years. Not since the first whispers, when everything was still darkness and fragments. Not since Maddox had erased it from every conversation, as if eliminating his existence was the only way to contain what it truly meant."Are you sure?" Amalia asked, her voice barely a thread.Maddox looked at her. His gaze, usually impenetrable, was now an uncontrollable storm. His gray eyes gleamed like blades under the dawn light slipping through the shattered windows."Too sure."June stood in the corner of the room, still processing everything that had just been revealed. But when she heard that name, she took a step back. As if the past had just punched her in the face."He wasn’t dead..." she whispered."He never was," Max said, voice dry.Dax ran a hand through his hair, frustrated."They lied to all of us.""Who is Gian?" Amalia finally asked, her tone as sharp as a promise of breaking.Maddox didn’t answer imm

The dawn arrived uninvited.The sky, stained with a threatening gray, seemed to anticipate the storm.In the base’s operations room, maps were spread out, screens were on, and the air… was heavy.Max was marking positions on the map with absolute focus.Dax was checking intercepted surveillance cameras.Maddox stood, arms crossed, watching everything as if he had already seen it all play out in his mind.And Amalia.Amalia was there.Sitting at the table, among them.One of them.But she was no longer just the woman dragged into this war by mistake.Now… she was part of the strategy."We have three blind spots on the west border," Max said, pointing. "If they’re coming in, it’ll be through there.""And what if that’s not what they want?" Amalia cut in. "What if this is just a distraction?""That’s what I thought too," Dax added. "Look at this."He projected a video.A hooded figure moved through shadows.A familiar silhouette."Is that…?" Amalia whispered."Yeah," Maddox confirmed, his

The return to the safe house was silent. None of them needed to speak. The glances exchanged in the rearview mirror, Maddox's tense grip on the steering wheel, the way Amalia kept her eyes fixed on the road… it was enough to understand that something had changed.The Council wasn’t dead. Only asleep. And now, it had awakened.As soon as they arrived, the protocols were activated. Ivan ordered all access points to be sealed, triple surveillance installed, and the war room prepared. The atmosphere was electric. Every step, every command, every look carried the certainty that the real enemy had finally shown its face.But Maddox said nothing. Not yet.He went straight to his office, with Amalia following silently. When the door closed, the silence grew heavy."You knew," she broke the tension. "Say it, Maddox. Just say it. You knew."He turned slowly. His jacket was open, sleeves rolled up, and his gray eyes darker than ever."I knew there were strange movements," he admitted. "But not th

The early morning was a living, throbbing creature.And Maddox was already awake before the first ray of sunlight pierced through the bulletproof windows of the house. He was dressed in black, as always, immaculate even in chaos. His movements were controlled, as if each one was calculated for combat."We’re ready," Ivan reported as he entered the meeting room.Behind him, Dax and Max came in almost at the same time. Both wore the same serious expression, although Dax still carried the hangover from the night before."What does the satellite report say?" Maddox asked, without lifting his gaze from the digital map in front of him."Movement to the north. Heat points in the area of the old gas factory. They shouldn’t be there," Max replied, crossing his arms."Then they’re testing our surveillance," Maddox murmured.Amalia appeared in the room a few seconds later. She wore a fitted jacket over a black shirt, her hair tied in a braid that gave her a fiercer look. Her eyes met Maddox’s for

The calm before the storm came in the shape of a freezing dawn.Amalia woke to the sound of soft footsteps in the hallway. They weren’t nervous. They were calculated. Measured. Like someone who didn’t need to hide.She grabbed her gun from the nightstand without thinking. She was no longer the same woman who had stumbled into this world by accident. She no longer hesitated.She opened the door silently and saw him.Derek."What are you doing?" she asked, not lowering her weapon.Derek raised his hands slowly."I was heading to the office. Maddox asked for the blueprints of the southern entrances.""Maddox is in the east wing."Derek hesitated for a second. Just one.And for Amalia, it was enough."Stay still," she ordered.At that moment, the silent alarm vibrated on her device. An encrypted message from Ivan."Communication intercepted. One of ours is selling coordinates."Amalia’s blood ran cold.Derek narrowed his eyes, as if he knew the moment for masks had passed."You were always

The night fell violently over the land.It wasn’t just any nightfall. It was a declaration of war.The sky turned dark faster than usual, as if the universe knew something was about to break.Inside the mansion, the atmosphere was different. Dense. Silent. The kind of calm that only comes before disaster.Amalia was in Maddox’s office, alone, with the documents she had stolen. In front of her, a map of the tunnel system that crossed the border. Smuggling routes. Coded names. Black-and-white photographs of faces that shouldn’t exist.The list of the Council’s traitors.And in the center, a single word repeated again and again:ARES.Behind that name was Maddox’s past. The real reason why it all began.And the man who was now about to unleash the final fire."Amalia," said a firm voice from the door.She didn’t flinch. She knew he would come. He always did.Maddox stepped inside. Imposing. Impeccable. Wearing a black suit that contrasted with his gray eyes, now sharper than ever."I knew
