All Chapters of Claimed By The Ruthless Mafia: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

*Logan*She seemed to be enjoying the attention of her friends. Oh, poor girl! She had no idea that the effects of alcohol would kick in after a few minutes. Just as I had predicted, she began to feel dizzy, clutching her head in her hands."What's wrong, Mia?" Joanna asked her."My head is spinning. I can't handle it. Everything feels like it's spinning around me," Mia said, shaking her head."It's okay, babe. You'll be fine. Let's dance. Come on," Sheena said, tugging Mia's hand and pulling her towards the dance floor. Joanna sat with me, asking me something, but my attention was fixated on Mia. The way she moved her hips seductively to the music drove me crazy. I wanted her to dance on my lap, swaying her perfect hips. Shaking my head, I couldn't bear to sit there and watch her tantalizing body amidst the crowd.I followed closely behind her and, gripping her hips, pulled her towards me. She continued to dance sensually, swaying and grinding her hips against me, driving me wild. I l

Ryder's POV.The days passed in happiness, with my sunshine by my side. I didn't know exactly what it was between us, but whatever it was, it was the most beautiful feeling I had ever experienced, and I never wanted her to leave me.On Friday evening, I brought her to my apartment, and we made passionate love. Waking up in her arms had become a ritual for me now. After a refreshing shower and a delightful breakfast, we settled on the plush couch, cuddled up together, and became absorbed in a movie playing on the large, sleek flat-screen TV. Bella lay against my chest, finding comfort in our familiar closeness.Breaking the tranquil silence, I softly spoke, my fingers tenderly caressing her hair, "Do you remember? We have a wedding to attend next weekend."Bella turned her head slightly, her eyes meeting mine, and replied with a soft smile, "Yeah, I remember.""Have you decided what to wear? I mean, have you thought about your outfit for the wedding?" I inquired, knowing Bella's endeari

Raising my lashes slowly, my eyes met his, and for a moment, confusion flickered across my face. His handsome features were framed by a sleek black tuxedo, but his expression appeared serious and distant. My heart sank, wondering if this was how he truly felt or if it was just the weight of the occasion.We had met briefly before, during our engagement, but I knew little about him beyond his public persona. As I approached him now, I couldn't help but wonder about the life that awaited us after this grand ceremony. The anxiety within me intensified as I questioned whether I would be able to live up to his expectations as a wife.At just twenty years old, I lacked experience in matters of the heart. My parents' strict upbringing had sheltered me from the world of dating and relationships, leaving me with a sense of innocence that contrasted sharply with the glamour and fame that surrounded my soon-to-be husband. He was a sought-after bachelor, famous as a playboy, adored by many, and i

In this emotional swirl, I turned my attention back to Ryder, who seemed to sense my unease. His eyes locked with mine, and I caught a glimpse of an enigmatic expression that flickered across his features. Was it love? I wondered, my heart fluttering with hope and uncertainty.Before I could find that answer, the officiant began the wedding rituals, and the bride and groom exchanged their vows. When the officiant announced them as husband and wife and permitted the groom to kiss the bride, the room erupted in applause and whistles. However, the kiss between Alex and his new wife seemed more formal than affectionate. It struck me as odd, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss with Alex's behavior.As we exited the wedding hall, I observed that Alex didn't even carry his wife, walking away as though he were desperate to leave. I felt sympathy for his wife, as she appeared to be a genuinely nice woman. I could only hope that they would resolve whatever issues lay betwe

Alex's POV The wedding ceremony seemed to drag on endlessly, each passing moment feeling like an eternity as I longed for the day to be over so that I could finally escape the suffocating atmosphere of the crowded hall. The officiant's voice was a monotonous drone, explaining the significance of the vows we were about to take, but it all fell on deaf ears. None of these vows held any true meaning for me; they were nothing more than empty words. The truth was, I had no genuine affection for the girl standing beside me. This marriage was merely a business transaction, a strategic move to secure my family's empire. I felt no love for her, and she probably felt the same way about me. My eyes rolled involuntarily, and I cast a quick glance towards the first row where my family and friends were seated. Logan gave me a mischievous wink. I followed his gaze and found Ryder appeared strangely captivated by Bella. Confusion and suspicion gnawed at me. What was going on? Had something happened
