All Chapters of The Mafia Boss Pretending Wife: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Elaine“Excuse me,” I said to the guests blocking my way, my eyes still on the corner where I saw that man.“Watch out, miss!” The waiter gasped when I accidentally bumped into him.“Fuck. Your clumsiness ruined my fiancée’s dress. Look what you’ve done!” shouted a man in a tuxedo. Just by his posture, I could tell he was one of Louis’ business partners and had only attended our wedding to impress the other businessmen here.“I’m sorry about that, but I really need to go,” I replied. I was about to walk away when the woman with him suddenly grabbed my right arm.“How rude of you! You caused trouble and you have the audacity to turn your back on us? Don’t you know who we are, huh?!” she shouted, grabbing the attention of other guests nearby.“I have urgent things to do. I promise, I will come back to pay for your dress’s laundry,” I said while looking around because the man in the mask was nowhere to be found anymore. If I could just leave here, I might meet him in the hallway.“Do you

ElaineWhen I woke up, I immediately looked around. It was still the same room where Ashton brought me. This meant that what happened earlier was real, not just a nightmare.I placed my hand on my forehead as I recalled what Ashton told me about my relationship with Louis. I had no idea there was such an agreement between us. I thought our marriage was just the repayment for our family’s debt to the Montemayors, but I was wrong.What else should I expect?This was the price for trusting him too much. If I had known, I wouldn’t have opened my heart to someone who only planned to use me against other organizations.I didn’t know what to do. I had no intention of moving from where I sat, my whole body felt heavy from the information I had just learned.When I looked at the clock, it was already ten in the evening. I had been staring at the blue wall for minutes.Everything still hadn’t sunk in, and how much harder would it be when I found out the truth about myself?I think Ashton was rig

ElaineI was jolted awake when I heard a loud ringtone coming from Louis’ phone."Answer your call," I ordered.Louis declined the call and returned his gaze to me. "I'm sorry for waking you up."I rubbed my eyes to see his face more clearly since the room was dim. "It's okay, I was just startled. But why are you still awake?" I was about to get up to get a drink from the kitchen, but my eyes shut tightly when I felt a sharp pain in my lower body. The same thing happened to me after our first time. It felt like my body was being split in two.Noticing that I seemed to be in pain, Louis helped me up. "Are you okay, wife? Should I call a doctor?" he asked with concern, making me stare at him.Was he really concerned about me?I smiled in amusement, but Ashton’s words suddenly echoed in my mind.Louis was just using me. That was all. I shouldn’t fall for his actions anymore."I'm fine, it's just that my lower part is sore. Someone here was too rough," I hinted while pointing at my womanho

ElaineIt had been a week, and Louis and I had fallen into a routine. We were like a real married couple. Every morning, he cooked for me, and we spent our days exploring different places. Almost every night, something would happen between us. Honestly, it all felt like a dream, and I never wanted to wake up.“Wife, are you still mad at me? I didn’t mean to be rough last night,” Louis asked while trying to feed me some rice.“No. I’m not mad,” I answered briefly.“Then why are you so quiet, hmm?” he asked again. The truth was, I wished we could just stay here because I was afraid that once we went back home, things between us would change again.“I’m just thinking,” I said.His face turned serious. “What is it? You can tell me.”I forced a small smile. It was better to keep what I saw to myself for now. He might think I was involved with Zap.“I’m just thinking about where we should go today. There are so many beautiful places here. I’ll take a quick shower so we can leave,” I said, ki

ElaineWhen I opened my eyes, I felt the pain from the restraints tied to my hands. They were tight and cold, as if purposely tightened to cause severe pain. I trembled as I looked around. It seemed like we were in a storage room, and aside from me, there were two others—Kaizer and Dad, both tied to chairs.“Ely . . . .” Kai’s voice was weak but filled with concern. “Are you okay?”I nodded, even though my heart contradicted the words. It was racing in fear and anxiety over what might happen to us.“Do you know where we are?” I asked, my voice cracking.He shook his head. “All I know is that we’ve been kidnapped by the Valencia Organization. I don’t know how they found us, but I’ll make sure we escape.”I was scared for the baby in my womb. It had nothing to do with this.“Everything will be fine, Ely, trust me,” Kaizer said. It seemed like he had a plan in mind.“Ugh,” Dad groaned as he slowly opened his eyes.When he saw Kaizer and me, his brows furrowed immediately. “What are you tw
