The Mafia King's Unknown Doctor Wife novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Massimo didn’t put her down. Instead–in what was becoming an uncomfortable pattern for Elena–Massimo carried her in his arms up to their hotel room.

Elena wanted to protest, but her body stopped her. Massime’s touch felt so natural and comforting to her confused nerves. She felt as if she could drift off peacefully here.

The warmth from his palms was so soothing, she didn’t bother struggling against him. In fact, she leaned into his torso–just a little, Elena told herself–so that Massimo’s soothing heat would cool the drug’s fury.

Massimo’s steady heartbeat seemed to guide Elena’s very being. His breathes dictated her own. It took Elena far too long to realize she couldn’t ordinarily make out either noise–that’s how natural they felt to her.

But when she questioned them, she noticed that she had curled in close to Massimo’s chest. Her traitorous fingers had clung to his shirt so hard, it’s a miracle the material didn’t break.

Though her body was already hot from the aphrodisiac, Elena felt herself grow even hotter with shame.

“Put me down,” she said weakly.

Elena feared Massimo had ignored her as he walked deeper into the rented room. Thankfully, he let her down on the bed.

Despite the soft bed, Elena couldn’t help thinking its comfort paled in comparison to that of Massimo’s arms.

Focus, Elena thought to herself, don’t let the drug muddle your thinking.

“I’d like to be alone,” Elena said.

Massimo took a withering look at her. “That’s not a good idea.”

“I’m a married woman. This isn’t right,” Elena argued. “The mistake in your bathroom was bad enough–I won’t let there be a second error.”

Massimo took a long look at her and scoffed. Still he turned to the door.

“Then be more careful, Dr. Elena. As a mafia member on the Ferraro’s payroll, you can’t be so naive–you need to be cautious, observant, and alert.”

Without another word, he left.

Elena instantly locked herself in the bathroom and took a long cold shower. With her body no longer lewdly crying out, she resolved to be better.

Massimo was right–she hadn’t been behaving like a mafia member at all. Between blindly trusting Massimo’s servants and not even researching the ABC Casino, she’d been a fool. And these mistakes were minor compared to what would happen when a true enemy of the Don of All Dons acted maliciously.

Elena thought she only needed to be a doctor, but she was wrong. If she was going to survive working for Don Massimo, she’d have to be more than just a professional physician. Elena would have to start acting like a real underling to her mafia boss.

It was only temporary, she reminded herself. But Elena needed to be cunning, well–informed, and discerning if she wanted to make it out with both her dignity and life int ct.

She owed herself and her husband that much.

Before turning in for the night, she sent her husband another text.

“I hope you’re doing well. Work is tricky on my end but gol g great. Only a few more days until we finally meet.”

The rest of the business trip passed in a blur. Elena was excited for it to end–after all, the end of the trip meant the beginning of her new relationship with her husband. She sent her husband one final text before boarding her plane ride home.

“Can’t wait to meet you in person <3”
