Semua Bab Behind Him: Bab 21 - Bab 27

“Are you absolutely sure it’s safe for me to be out in public?” Louelita asked again, her voice laced with uncertainty as she fidgeted in her seat.Ezra, who had already reassured her several times, let out a soft chuckle. He understood her anxiety and had no intention of making her feel guilty about it. His grip tightened slightly on the steering wheel as he turned to glance at her.“Your disguise is flawless, Vita Mia. No one will recognize you, I promise,” he said with unwavering confidence.Louelita lowered her gaze to her lap, lightly tracing the fabric of the simple yet elegant dress she wore. Unlike her usual attire, today she had been completely transformed—her hair was tucked beneath a short wig, her natural eye color concealed by contact lenses, and a touch of professional makeup added just enough to alter her usual features. The effort Ezra had put into this was extensive. He had even hired a professional stylist and a makeup artist, both of whom were members of his Mafia.

“Boss! They’re not from our enemies!” Elio shouted into his earpiece as soon as he put it on. His team of hackers had just confirmed it—these attackers weren’t from the rival Mafia families they usually dealt with.Ezra gritted his teeth, his jaw tightening as his mind worked quickly. If these people weren’t sent by their Mafia enemies, then there was only one possible explanation—they were after Louelita.His expression darkened, and his sharp gaze immediately flicked toward the woman crouching near him. She had heard everything. Her wide eyes were locked on his, filled with shock and an undeniable trace of fear.“How the hell did they know Louelita was still alive?!” Ezra roared, his voice echoing amidst the chaos of gunfire.He turned fully toward her, his face softening slightly as he noticed the fear creeping onto her features. His protective instincts kicked in, overriding everything else.“Don’t worry, Vita Mia,” he reassured her in a firm yet gentle tone. “Just stay hidden. We

“Holy shit! What are you doing, Vita Mia?!” Ezra exclaimed in shock when the woman took off her dress while they were still in the car.Ezra was lucky because he was not with the Alessio siblings because they were in the other car.Instead of answering Ezra, the woman just laughed, as if Louelita was a child playing with a man, but Louelita was also intent on seducing Ezra.Ezra stopped driving the car and tried to put Louelita back on, but instead of following, she tried to take off Ezra’s shirt.“Fuck!” Ezra muttered harshly and tried to stop Louelita.He was holding back just enough to grab her attention. “It's hot!” The woman said, giggling at Ezra. The car's air conditioning was strong, but because the woman was drunk and acting clumsy now, Ezra struggled to keep her under control.He succumbs to Louelita’s innocence. ‘Damn! Where has my innocent Vita Mia gone?’ He pondered this as he gazed at the woman who was giggling uncontrollably.The man’s mouth dropped even more when he sa

Louelita stretched her limbs, her body feeling light and free. A soft smile formed on her lips as she stared at the ceiling, lost in her thoughts.She was grateful.Grateful that Ezra had saved her.Her life now was significantly better than before, when she had been all alone—drifting without direction, surviving rather than living. Now, she had a place where she felt safe, where she wasn’t constantly looking over her shoulder.Yesterday, they had just returned from Spain.Before coming home, they had traveled around, visiting different places. Their last stop had been La Concha, a breathtaking beach with golden sand stretching as far as the eye could see. They had dined at a restaurant overlooking the vast ocean, the waves shimmering under the afternoon sun.Louelita had been captivated by the view, her heart swelling with awe. She hadn’t been able to put into words how beautiful it was, so instead, she had done the next best thing—she had taken countless photos.She didn’t own a ph
