All Chapters of The Mafia's Mistaken Bride: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Jasmine's POV My heart squeezes as curiosity pricks at me at the heavy silence between us. It doesn't stop him from flashing me a cute smile at intervals as he prepares the meal, making me intrigued and drooling over him.I have always thought bad of Xavier but right now, everything is about to change. My notion about him being so cold-hearted that he can't feel love is wrong.But I can't figure out what exactly is going on between us. I don't know what to make of all these messed up, unexplainable and undefined tension and feelings between us.I don't even know if it's just me or it's mutual.One minute, I want to believe it is mutual and the next minute, my brain keeps telling me not to be deceived by any of this.I don't even know why I asked him that question in the first place. I should have known he would never answer me. I should have known Xavier wouldn't admit anything until we presented her to him.I guess I knew but I couldn't keep my mouth shut. I blurted it out before I

Jasmine's POV After making sure that Xavier is out of the bedroom, I step out of the bathroom with wobbling legs and my heart pounding erratically within my rib cage.It wasn't a dream.I have pinched myself several times while in the bathroom so I could wake up from this sweet dream but I am still here, standing and not on the bed, wide awake.That was a confession, wasn't it?Hate is the opposite of love. Xavier wanted us to tell each other lies about how we felt and he said he hated me.Hating me means he likes me.No. He loves me.Something jumps inside of me, almost forcing me to physically jump up in excitement.Everything seems too good to be real. It is fast. Unbelievable. Exciting. Sweet. And fulfilling, even though I can't say just how we got to this stage.When did all of this start?When did our feelings of hatred and disdain for each other change slowly to love?Is love the right word?Even though I am still not clear on everything, that confession means a lot and has cl

Xavier's POV A troop of soldiers make their way to me as soon as I step out of the building where Andre is.I want to give her time to talk to her father before I decide on which punishment to give her. If only she was caught months back, I wouldn't need to think over the kind of punishment to melt to her because the deal was to be married.But I am married now.To someone else in her place and the idea of marrying Andre right now is displeasing to my ears.When they get close, I raise a brow in alarm. Before I can question them, they all bow with their weapons in place and the head soldier speaks up. "We got the alarm."My confusion intensifies. "What alarm?"He shares a look with the soldier beside him before turning to me. "We were told of the attack…""Attack?" I cut him short, turning around to see if Ethan is behind me. He isn't but Mathew is. "What the hell are they talking about?"Mathew does not reply. Instead, he moves forward and speaks to them before coming back to me."I

Jasmine's POV To be honest, cutting him off with a kiss wasn't the plan.I never thought I would do that. Never in my wildest dreams. I never knew he was going to even show up or find me.But here he is.And I am gripping the back of his shirt as the gentle kiss he is pressing onto my lips is doing unimaginable things to me.Things I have never felt in the 24 years of my existence. Not having him here has been killing me. It has me worried for my safety and scared for what awaits me outside his mansion.I guess that is why I haven't been able to summon up enough courage to get the hell out of here. Out of New York. And back to Chicago.The thought of Vicenzo still haunts me, even though he is dead now. But I am still scared for my life. Sebastian is still very much alive and he will do worse than Vicenzo if I ever get into his hands.Xavier promised to protect me.But I ran away.Now that I think of it, I remember just how much I was boiling in rage when the realization dawned on me

Jasmine's POV One single fear that keeps me locked up in this room, with no courage to step out for a second for some fresh air is the thought of crossing paths with my look alike.I don't know why I am so scared of seeing her. I don't know what I am supposed to say to her or how I am supposed to react to seeing a woman whose life I have replaced for four months now.Aside from that, the fact that Xavier might be in love with her hits me harder in the face. I don't stand a chance with her. I know this and it makes my heart ache terribly.I should have known that falling for a man like Xavier was way too dangerous.It's been a week since I came back. Since Xavier brought me back here I haven't gone out of this room. It reminds me of the first few days after he kidnapped me away from Chicago that night.The only difference is that this time I keep myself busy with reading the books I got from the store and also my phone.I have managed to open social media accounts too.The door opens
