Mafia Queen's Secret
I never wanted this life. The blood, the power, the fear in people’s eyes—it was never meant for me. But when my father died, the empire fell into my hands, and I became the queen of a crime syndicate I didn’t ask to rule. At home, though, I’m just… hers. His touch—gentle, hesitant, so pure—sends fire through my veins. Every brush of his fingers unravels me. And every night, I fight the urge to let him see the truth: that I’m not just dangerous. I’m desperate for him.My hands are still stained with blood when I walk through the front door.
The hit was clean—three bullets, three hearts stopped—but my pulse hasn’t slowed. Not until I see him. There, in the kitchen, barefoot and humming, stirring soup like we’re some ordinary couple. He looks up, eyes wide with concern. “You’re trembling,” he says, stepping closer. His hand brushes mine as he takes the coat from my shoulders.
Electricity. Fire. Need.
I want to throw him against the wall and kiss him until neither of us can breathe. Instead, I clench my fists, fighting the heat pooling low in my stomach. He doesn’t know what I’ve done. What I am. And yet, he touches me like I’m something sacred.
“Are you okay?” he whispers.
No. I’m not. Because for the first time in years, I’m not sure I can keep pretending this marriage is just for show.
And then the doorbell rings. Late. Unexpected. His hand drops from my arm. Mine reaches for the gun hidden under my sleeve.
