Chapter 2

Upon arriving at the mansion, Arla accompanied Liam to his private quarters. "This is your new home," he declared as he opened the ornate double doors, revealing a luxurious suite with an elegantly furnished living area adorned with antiques and opulent fabrics.

Liam entered the room, carelessly tossing his suit jacket onto a plush armchair. "You'll find everything you need here," he stated coldly. "My assistant will help you settle in. I have business to attend to."

Before he could leave, Arla spoke up. "You know, for a Mafia leader, you're not as terrifying as I expected," she said, her tone bold and unwavering.

Liam turned to face her, his gaze locking with hers. "Are you so eager to see the true depths of my darkness?" he questioned, his voice deep and captivating.

Unfazed, Arla held his gaze. "Show me your worst," she dared, a mischievous smile playing across her lips.

Liam's eyes darkened, and he leaned forward, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Be careful what you wish for, my dear wife. You just might get it."

With that warning, he left the room, leaving Arla alone with her thoughts and a growing sense of unease.

Arla shook her head and muttered, "He's not fun." A smile spread across her face as she thought to herself, "I'm finally free from that old man's grasp."

Wandering through the luxurious rooms, she marveled at her new surroundings. "Not bad," she murmured, trailing her fingers across the smooth surface of an elegant vanity.

A soft knock interrupted her exploration. Turning, she found a young woman at the doorway, a warm smile on her face. "I'm Celine, Liam's personal assistant," the woman introduced herself. "I'm here to help you with anything you need."

Arla studied Celine for a moment before responding. "So, you're my new spy then?" she asked, her lips curling into a half-smile.

Celine's smile widened. "I can be whatever you need me to be," she replied. "Now, let's get you settled in. Dinner will be served in an hour."

Arla rolled her eyes, growing irritated. "Are you an AI? Stop repeatedly reminding me," she snapped, dismissing the assistant before settling down on the couch to relax.

That evening, Arla entered the dining room and noticed Laurette, the lady of the house, sitting at the head of the table. There was another lady seated to Laurette's left, while the seat to her right was unoccupied. In addition, five other ladies were seated around the table. Arla, still dressed in her white short gown, walked into the room confidently.

Arla attempted to sit in the empty chair to Laurette's right, but a woman named Alice interrupted her, saying, "You can't sit there yet; you need to earn it." Arla paused for a moment, staring at Alice without uttering a word. Ignoring Alice's remark, Arla sat down in the chair anyway and declared, "I don't need to earn anything. This is my house, and I am the wife, so mind your business."

As Arla began eating, the other women remained silent. Vivian, who was seated across from Arla, didn't say a word but observed the scene quietly. Laurette, known for being a woman of few words, gazed at Arla with a piercing look.

Without a word, Laurette stood up from the table, prompting the other ladies to stand and follow her lead. None of them had touched their food, leaving Arla alone at the table. Unfazed by the women's actions, Arla continued enjoying her meal in solitude.

Seemingly unaffected by the tense encounter with the other women, Arla finished her meal and returned to her room. She sat by the window, admiring the view, though her calm demeanor masked a vulnerability she preferred to keep hidden. To avoid appearing weak, she took a shower and changed into a red lace nightgown.

As Arla entered the bedroom, she found Liam sitting on the couch, his attention focused on his phone. She couldn't help but admire his handsome features. Standing at the entrance of the bathroom, she stared at him. "Stop drooling," Liam teased without looking up.

Surprised, Arla insisted, "I'm not drooling. Why would I drool?" She then approached Liam and inquired, "You seem to have a lot of sisters..."

Liam chuckled and met her gaze, his eyes full of allure, causing Arla's heart to skip a beat. Swallowing hard, she managed to ask, "Cousins? Or aunts?"

Liam suggested, "Why don't you ask them yourself?" before adding, "You need to get along with them." He then removed his shirt and walked past her into the bathroom.

"How can I get along with people I don't even know their role?" Arla questioned, her confusion evident.

Pausing, Liam locked eyes with her and revealed, "They're mistresses, just like you."

Shocked by his statement, Arla stuttered, "What!?" Liam stepped into the shower, prompting her to follow. Before she could finish her question, she realized Liam was naked under the shower and quickly turned her back, preparing to leave.

However, Liam pulled her into the shower, his voice a mixture of amusement and challenge. "Didn't you come here expecting something to happen?" he asked, his words hanging in the air between them as the water cascaded over their bodies.

Arla's heart pounded as she found herself wrapped in Liam's arms, warm water flowing over them. His question lingered, and she knew he was right. The undeniable attraction between them needed to be confronted.

She turned to face him, their eyes locked. "And if I say no, what will you do?" Arla whispered, her voice barely audible.

Liam gently lifted her chin with his hand, water flowing over her face as she studied his handsome features. "What do you mean by mistresses?" Arla asked, trying to understand their situation.

Liam leaned closer to her face and questioned, "What do you understand by mistresses?" The proximity of their faces made Arla swallow hard, feeling the intensity of the moment.

Before she could respond, Liam pressed his lips against hers under the shower. His hands caressed her body as they deepened the kiss, the water drenching them and soaking Arla's once dry nightgown, exposing the outline of her body.

Her curves and full breasts were now evident through the clinging fabric. Liam lifted her and placed her on the edge of the sink, closer to the shower, still kissing her passionately. His hands explored her body, igniting a fire within her.

Suddenly, Liam tore her nightgown from the shoulder, breaking the kiss as they both gasped for breath. Arla stared at him, pulling him closer and whispering, "Quench this fire." With that, he ripped off her clothes and carried her to the bedroom, where a night of passion ensued. Arla's moans echoed throughout the corridor as they surrendered to their desires.
