The Crippled Mafia King’S Forced Bride
EP 8
The evening is unusually warm, but I still feel cold all over as I step out of the restaurant.
My father grabs my arm and hastily ushers me toward the car, asking me questions along the way, but I can’t focus on his words. I open the passenger door and sit down
My legs are trembling. Looks like the adrenaline ran out and I’m feeling the aftereffects
I’ve never been as scared as the moment I entered that restaurant, wondering if they had changed their minds and decided to kill us
The wheelchair didn’t fool me, I knew who I was facing the moment our gazes met—a stone-cold killer.
I assumed he was some elderly guy with a beer belly and receding hairline. Why would he be blackmailing a woman into marriage otherwise? I couldn’t have been more wrong.
During our conversation, I tried my best to keep my eyes fixated on his, but I still managed to steal a few glances elsewhere.
The man is incredibly handsome
That was evident even in the scarce light. I couldn’t pinpoint his height, but with him in a sitting position and me standing, our heads were at the same level
He surely had more than a foot on me. It’s not a nice thing to say, but I was relieved he was in a wheelchair. Being near tall men is a serious problem for me, and the idea of being stuck together with one for six months sent me into a shitstorm of panic.

Are you even hearing me?

What the hell happened inside?
Samuel Grey/FL Dad
I tried to go in but the goons wouldn’t let me
I take a deep breath and, watching the cars pass us on the driveway, start giving him the short version of the deal I made with the head of the Russian underworld
The less he knows, the better
Natalia Grey/FL
No word about any of this to Mom
Natalia Grey/FL
And make sure you act as if you never met Ivanov on Saturday
Natalia Grey/FL
He said if anything goes wrong, the deal is off
Samuel Grey/FL Dad
What do you mean?
Natalia Grey/FL
It means that if anyone, Mom included, suspects I’m not crazy in love with that son of a bit¢h,
Natalia Grey/FL
We’re dead
