Contract Wife of the Mafia King

The first command

`Chapter 5: The First Command`

The next evening, a black car stopped at the mansion gate.

"Get in," Alessandro said. His voice had no emotion.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"Family dinner," he replied. "You are my wife. Act like one."

My heart sank. I was in a red dress he had sent, sitting beside the Mafia King.

At the dinner table, his mother looked at me from head to toe. "So... this is the girl you married overnight?"

Alessandro put his hand on mine under the table. His grip was tight. "Yes. This is Mrs. Moretti."

Everyone went silent.

I smiled, but inside I was terrified.

Back at the mansion at midnight, he finally let go of my hand.

"You did well today," he said coldly. "But remember my rule. You are mine on paper. Do not fall in love. Do not betray me. Or you will regret it."

He turned and walked to his room, leaving me alone in the dark hallway.

For the first time, I wondered... did I marry a man, or a monster?

I could not sleep that night.

The mansion was too quiet, too big, too dangerous.

And Alessandro... he was watching me, even from behind closed doors.
