THE MAFIA DON'S REPLACEMENT BRIDE

CHAPTER TWOLIRA I closed my eyes, ready for the incoming assault, a lone tear rolled down my cheeks. How stupid was I to think that my so-called husband was going to just let me be.....My eyes were closed until I heard a mocking chuckle. Forcing my eyes open, I saw the man who was still hovering over me. He had a sarcastic smile on his face, and he was supporting himself by placing one hand firmly on the bed. At that moment, I couldn't help but admire how handsome he looked. My heart skipped a beat as I continued to watch his face. I did not dare to look at his face too much at the wedding because I was scared, but late at night, with him hovering above me like this.....He suddenly grabbed my shoulder, pulling me up with him, and shattering all of my fantasies about him. He forced me to stand up in front of him, a menacing look on his face. I was naked, with only my panties on me, and I quickly covered my breasts. His expression was tight, and Sebastian looked as if he was

CHAPTER FOURSEBASTIAN “Idiot!” I cursed at James, my temper rising. How could he make such a low level mistake?James frowned, and I could see indignation on his face,but then, he quickly swallowed down whatever dissatisfactions he might have, replacing it with a submissive look. "I am sorry boss, Damien was way faster than us this time, and he knew the time we were going to arrive," James gave me a bogus explanation. I raised an eyebrow suspiciously, as I questioned James with just my gaze. He shifted uncomfortably on one foot, and I could tell that he was trying to hide something. I sneered....he might be delusional if he thought that he could play me like this. "Damien somehow found out about the time the goods were supposed to arrive? I thought that only the men on your team knew that information?" I asked James. He looked confused at first, but then, a panicked look quickly spread across his face. Falling to his knees, he made sure to keep his head down. I was towering a

LIRA "What?" The blood drained from my face, and underneath the table, my hands were already shaking nervously. The woman approached me, a calm smile on her face. She had an all-knowing look on her face, and it made me feel like she could see through me. My heart raced fast against my chest, did she somehow find out the truth? Was I about to be exposed? Would Sebastian....So many thoughts were running through my head when she opened her mouth, "you know," she began, as she studied my face closely, "I don't remember you having such good manners. The last time you were here, you wouldn't even look at the maids!"My racing heart finally slowed. I studied her expression closely, this woman didn't know the truth....right?Laughing awkwardly, I tried to cover up my guilt. "In the past, I was upset that I had to get married like that, and so I was a bit upset. I am sorry about how I treated you in the past," I said carefully, so as not to trigger the woman's suspicion. She squinted her

CHAPTER EIGHTLIRAJumping up from my bed, I headed at once for the bathroom. All of my strength seemed to fail me once I was inside the bedroom, and I fell to the ground. Bending over the toilet sink, I vomited out all of the contents of my stomach. The image of that man tied to the chair inside that room was forever etched in my mind, and every time I remembered his bloodied look, my stomach churned. Sebastian was also covered in blood too...I shuddered just thinking about it. I had heard that he was a mafia lord, and thinking about it now, things like these were to be expected. However...this was not my life! I could never get used to seeing things like that! Tears gathered in my eyes as I thought about what he had said yesterday. That I should know what happened to people who see things they were not supposed to see. "Ah!" I screamed as another wave of nausea hit me. All of the contents of my stomach were vomited into the toilet sink, I had barely eaten the previous day, and

CHAPTER TENLIRAI froze, the weight of the phone call pressing down on me like a heavy mountain. Sebastian's gaze was still on me, and he winked at me, motioning for me to pick up the call. "Hello?" I said into the phone, as I tried to keep my voice as flat as possible. Sebastian lay on his arm, watching my face, as his hands danced all over my body. I shot him a glare, trying to get him to stop, but he ignored me, as one of his hands moved up to my breasts to squeeze them. Sucking in a breath to keep myself from moaning out loud, I found it hard to concentrate, as Sebastian distracted me with his actions. ".....it's time he showed proper respect to our family!" struggling to maintain my concentration, I could only catch the later parts of Marco's sentence. I blinked my eyes in confusion, trying to figure out what he meant. "What did you say, grandfather?" Calling a man I had never met and barely knew grandfather felt awkward to me, but Sophia had a close relationship with he
