Semua Bab Married to the mafia: Bab 31 - Bab 40

My confidence shatters just by looking at Dimitri’s baffled expression staring at me. He dislikes the way I look, I am certain of it. Dimitri turns around and walks out of the room. I follow him to demand that he tells me the truth, but before I can say anything Anastasia intercepts us.“Doesn’t she look lovely, son?” She asks with a malicious grin. “I think that dress looks really good on her, don’t you think? Irina said green was her color and I can see now that she was right.”Dimitri looks daggers at his mother. What is going on? Instead of replying he storms out of the house, Anastasia and I follow him. Outside, the family is already gathering for the party, they are all walking towards the white tent. My husband catches up with the rest of his family, and shortly after so do Anastasia and I. I am ashamed to ask Dimitri the reason why he is so upset in front of everyone else, so I don’t say anything.Kirill gives me a warm smile before he goes inside the white tent, but his mother

(Dimitri’s P.O.V.)I get in my car and slam the door close. The other door opens and someone hops in the passenger seat. It is my cousin Kirill. “Get out, I want to be alone,” I say to him in a rude tone of voice. “No way, I’m coming with you,” he says determinedly as he puts on his seat belt just to let me know he is not going anywhere. I roll my eyes and start the car. We drive out of the residential complex. I don’t care that I am leaving in the middle of my father’s birthday, I need to get away and clear my head. I can’t believe what Victoria did, after these last few days we spent together I thought she really had feelings for me, but she was thinking about another man all along. Her betrayal stings

I lean back on the seat of the waiting area. The idea of never seeing Dimitri again is unbearable. I would rather live with his bad mood and his sullen ways than being without him. He is ill-tempered and intimidating but deep down he is not so terrible. The truth is that I love him, maybe I shouldn't, but I do. Even I have a hard time understanding the way I am attracted to him, but I am, I like to be close to him, to wake up next to him, to kiss him… It’s a kind of afection that I'd never experienced before, and if he dies I will be left alone and that love will cease to exist. I feel a pang of guilt for kissing Lucas. Dimitri deserves better, he has been good to me in his own way, he has made me fall for him, I don't want to be another Tatiana in his life.“That wretched Esposito gang is going to pay for this, as soon as we find where they are hiding I will make them pay,” Kirill mutters angrily.I feel a pang of anguish when I hear Luca’s last name. It is possible that he is part of

I go back to the waiting lounge. The Ivanov family is still there waiting to hear from the doctor. I take a seat next to Kirill and offer him my bag of chips. I lost my appetite after my encounter with Lucas. Kirill takes the bag and thanks me with a smile. I lean my head on his shoulder, my body relaxes and I start to doze off.  Kirill shakes me gently to wake me up.“Victoria, wake up, I have to take you home,” he whispers. I open my eyes feeling a little confused for a moment and then I remember where we are and why we are here. “Home? What about Dimitri?” I ask concerned. “He is doing a little better, but he is still unconscious. The

After plotting a while against Lucas, Dimitri gets sleepy once more. I guess he is still too weak and needs a lot of rest to recover from his brush with death. While Dimitri is soundly asleep, I decide to prepare his favorite meal. I go to the kitchen, I take out two steaks from the freezer and I start to boil water to prepare mashed potatoes. Bolt is so happy to have Dimitri back that he doesn’t even come to the kitchen when the smell of food reaches the upper floor. The dog stays beside the bed waiting for his owner to wake up.The doorbell rings. It’s probably Kirill checking on us to see if we need anything, he is a really sweet guy… for a mobster… I leave the food and I open the door with a big smile. Unfortunately, outside standing on the porch I find Anastasia.She lets herself in without even saying hi. She looks around like she is tryin
