Page 14 of Mafia Wedding

My jaw absolutely drops, and all I can do is stammer his name out as my cheeks burn red in embarrassment. He's never come on to me like that before. Not once. Not ever!

"You're blushing."

It's that diabolically sweet voice of his again, but ironically, it's also the seductiveness of the sound that works like a bucket of ice-cold water being dunked over my head.

Well, there's my answer then.

I know I can't leave him if I want to keep the peace, but since I also know it will kill me bit by bit if I stay married to a man who can never return my feelings—-

Oooooow!

The sight of Sheena getting beaten up immediately distracts me from my thoughts, and it's only at the end of the match that I remember I still have my own blurry future to solve.

Crap!

I take a peek at Stelios, and I'm startled to find him staring at me. "What?" Do I have something on my face? Is my hair too messy? Has he finally realized there's no way I'm going to be like my aunt, and that I can only grow older but not prettier?

Stelios arches a brow at me. "Am I not allowed to stare at my wife?"

Well, of course he's allowed to, but what I don't get is 'why'. It's not like he's ever cared to stare at me in the past, and when I think of how he's also never tried to hit on me the way he had earlier—-

"Stelios?"

I know this is a really bad idea since I don't even have a plan in place—-

"Mm?"

But after having him flirt with me even though I know it's not because he finds me attractive—-

"I want a divorce."

She's dead.

I HOLD MY BREATH AS I wait for Stelios to answer, but what I hear instead is his phone ringing, and my husband tersely telling me it's Astro calling him.

"Excuse me for a moment."

I can feel myself paling as the billionaire abruptly turns away without waiting for me to answer. I've been with him long enough to know when he's pissed, and right now he is definitely enraged...with me.

The thought is more than a little scary, and I can't help tensing up when I catch sight of him walking back inside the stadium.

Don't cower, B!

I hastily rearrange my features to hide my fear. My resting bitch face will never be as intimidating as Theía's, but all I'm aiming for right now is a mask to hide my thoughts.

Stelios speaks briefly to Sasha, and my heart drops to my stomach when I see the other man glance at me before saying something back to my husband.

Don't read anything into it, B.

But the moment Stelios reaches my side, the words simply fly out of my mouth.

"You've told him then?"

The way my husband's gorgeous face hardens almost has me stumbling a step back, and I can only bite back a cry as he suddenly cups my elbow in an unshakable grip.

"Are you that much in a hurry to let the whole world know you want a divorce?" he hisses under his breath.

He pulls me close to him before I can answer, and I can only suck my breath in at the way our sides are suddenly pressed completely against each other.
