My Mob Husband Chapter 17: Family Gathering
Vincenzo's been acting different lately. He's, like, way nicer and chill around me now. It's kinda surprising, but in a good way. Like, he used to be all serious and stuff, but now he's, like, actually pretty cool most of the time. Don't get me wrong, he still has his grumpy moments, but overall, he's way easier to hang out with. I gotta say, it's a welcome change. It's way less tense when we're together now. We can actually talk and joke around without it feeling awkward or anything. It's like a weight's been lifted, you know? I'm kinda hopeful that this means things are gonna be better between us from now on. I sighed as the maids adjusted the dress on me. The fabric, a striking shade of crimson, draped over my figure like a second skin, accentuating every curve. Its halter-neck style offered modest coverage at the front, while the daring backless design added a touch of sophistication. The skirt stopped just above my knees, not too short, not too long. I slipped into black stilet
My Mob Husband Chapter 18: Betrayal
My heart suddenly ached for a reason I didn’t know. Or perhaps I did know, but it was easier to pretend I didn’t. I put my trembling hands behind me as I smiled towards his family in front of us. There was a long awkward silence that stretched around us, and the tension was getting thick and intolerable.“Good evening, ma’am, sir,” I greeted, trying to break the tension. Only then did they shift their attention back to me.His mother flashed a small smile and a brief nod to acknowledge me before she turned her gaze back to the woman next to her. “Do you feel uncomfortable, Ella? Pardon my son’s attitude, okay? We all know he hasn’t moved on yet. So why don’t you guys talk to each other and try to catch up—”My smile faltered as I clenched my fists behind me, my stomach churning in discomfort all of a sudden. I knew I am basically not that fit to be Vincenzo’s fiancée nor did I reach the qualifications to be someone standing next to him, but to disregard me like that blatantly, suddenl
My Mob Husband Chapter 19: Katana
"You have access to him in a way that no one else does. Use that to your advantage. Extract the information I need, and you'll be rewarded handsomely."His words echoed in my mind, sending a chill down my spine. He wanted me to betray Vincenzo, the man I had reluctantly agreed to marry. It was a betrayal that cut deep, even if our relationship was merely a facade.I stared at him for quite a while, my mind grappling with the information I had just heard. After revealing Vincenzo's past to me, he was now asking me to essentially stab him in the back?Although Vincenzo and I didn’t have the best relationship, and he made it clear to me before that our marriage was strictly business, betraying him was out of the question for me. Perhaps, he had lied about marrying me altogether, but wasn't that better? I could live a normal life and we could continue on our separate paths. For some reason, it hurt to think about, but it was a reality I had to face in order to survive.After all, I had al
My Mob Husband Chapter 20: Evident
I gaped at Katana longer than I intend to, my heart was beating so fast in my chest as her words kept repeating on my head like a broke radio. I knew it was words, but it left a huge impact on me than I admit it.“You're the one who caught Vincenzo's eye..."I bit my bottom lip as I process on her words. It was hard to believe it. Such mere words wouldn’t be enough to determine if Vincenzo likes me or not. Maybe he was attracted on my face and my body, but that’s all to it. Just like what Katana said, I am nothing but a beautiful face.“R-Really?” I asked, averting my gaze from her as I fiddled with my fingers.She shrugged nonchalantly. “Well, it’s just base on my assumptions and as what I have observed, but we’ll never know.”I sighed, feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders al of a sudden. “Right… and it’s not that I am someone special to him. I-I… I heard that woman earlier was his lover back then. They must have loved each other.”Katana suddenly went silent. I didn’t min
My Mob Husband Chapter 21: Locked
As I turned my back on him and began to walk away, each step tore at my heart. Yes, he had a lipstick stain on his neck, the same shade as Ella's earlier. I wasn't foolish enough not to notice. I wasn't naive enough not to understand. Vincenzo and Ella were likely still in love with each other. I shouldn't interfere with them. As I walked away, I felt his hand wrap around my wrist, pulling me back gently. "Wait, let me explain," he pleaded, his voice strained with urgency. But I couldn't bear to listen. Ignoring his words, I wrenched my wrist free from his grasp and continued towards my chambers, my heart heavy with a mixture of anger and hurt. His footsteps echoed behind me, but I refused to turn back. I needed space to process everything, to come to terms with the realization that perhaps our connection wasn't as genuine as I had hoped. Entering my chambers, I closed the door behind me with a heavy sigh, leaning against it as I tried to push away the thoughts swirling in my mi
My Mob Husband Chapter 22: Ring
I awoke with a terrible headache; my vison was spinning as I tried to get up from the bed. Later that day I realized I had a fever. Arcel stayed beside me all throughout. She tended to my needs and fed me until I was feeling a little better. It was probably because I slept late last night after the incident with Vincenzo. I wasn’t able to sleep peacefully because my mind keep going back and forth to the conversation I had with him. Later in the day, just as I started to drift into a restless slumber, the door creaked open, and Vincenzo entered the room without a word. His cold and distant demeanor was as palpable as ever. He stood there, a silent observer of my weakened state, his eyes giving nothing away. The air in the room shifted, becoming heavy with tension. I could feel the weight of his presence, a reminder of the unresolved issues between us. "I heard you were unwell," he finally spoke, his tone detached. "Arcel seems to be taking good care of you." I shot him a sharp look
My Mob Husband Chapter 23: Date
I stared down at the ring adorning my finger, my heart heavy with a mix of emotions. Vincenzo's sudden gesture had caught me off guard, leaving me feeling overwhelmed and speechless. It hadn't been long since he assured me of our impending marriage, yet the sight of the ring seemed to solidify his decision, as if there were no room for doubt or hesitation.In less than two weeks, he had decided that we would be wed. The realization sent a shiver down my spine, reminding me of the lack of control I had over my own fate. No matter what decision Vincenzo made, I had no right to refuse.But was it all too much? If he were simply using me as a pawn in his game to make Ella jealous, then why go to the trouble of giving me a ring? And if he truly intended to marry me, then why give me a token of commitment when my consent was irrelevant?The questions swirled in my mind, each one more unsettling than the last. I felt a knot form in the pit of my stomach as I grappled with the uncertainty of
My Mob Husband Chapter 24: Part of It
He pulled me a seat. I took my seat, resisting the urge to roll my eyes at Vincenzo's gallant gesture. Instead, I politely thanked him. He returned a charming smile, clearly teasing me. As the waiter approached to take our orders, Vincenzo leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on mine. "What would you like, bellezza?" he inquired smoothly. I hesitated, torn between maintaining my ego or letting it slide just this once. Eventually, I chose the latter. "I'll have whatever you're having," I replied, attempting to keep my tone neutral. He raised an eyebrow, a smirk dancing on his lips. "As you wish," he murmured, diverting his attention back to the waiter. Despite my initial frustration, I found myself yielding to his choice without protest. "We'll be picking your dress," he announced abruptly in the midst of our meal. I lifted my gaze to meet his, holding his eyes for a moment before the realization sank in. "You're actually serious about marrying me?" I asked, my tone surprising
