#Chapter 199: Waiting for You

Ella

After pulling apart from my hug with the housekeeper, I made my way through the throng of party guests and outside into the cool night air. Even though it was almost midnight, the party was still in full swing and would likely go on for a couple more hours at least. As I stepped into the garden, the sound of the music coming from inside wafted over everything and created a hazy, dreamlike world in combination with the sounds of the crickets and the distant city lights.

However, as I

  Ella“Just open it, Ella. I promise you’ll understand everything in a minute.”With the little box in my hand, I gave him a sideways look, suspicion creeping into my mind. After all the extravagant gifts he had given me tonight, I couldn’t help but wonder what this one would be.But, with a dee

  EllaThe next morning, I found myself standing in Logan’s exercise room, a place I had only heard about but never seen.It was much more spacious than I had imagined, equipped with various gym equipment, mats, and even a small boxing ring. The walls were lined with mirrors, reflecting the polished floors and the gleaming exercise machines. It was clear that this was where Logan honed his physical prowess.

  EllaLogan and I lay on the exercise mats, our breaths coming out thick and heavy. We had just been training on these very mats, practicing our hand to hand combat, but our lips and tongues were locked in a battle of their own.I straddled Logan, having pinned him down beneath me. I could feel him smiling against my lips, and I pulled away, shooting him a warning glare that was more teasing than anything.“What?” I hissed as I licked my lips. “Problem?”Logan just smirked. “No,” he said. “I don’t have a problem.”But I could see the smirk on his face. I pressed his wrists a little harder into the mat, relishing the feeling of his firm body beneath me. “You’re hiding something.”For a few moments, Logan just smirked up at me; but then I felt it. His leg had worked its way around mine—and then, in one swift movement, the world was whirling around me before I came to a breathless stop on the mat. I was below him this time, and now he was the one who was pinning me down.He clicked his to

  EllaThe air in the exercise room felt heavy with the aftermath of our passionate hookup. My heart was still pounding, and my body tingled with desire. I had never expected things to escalate like this, and now that they had, I was overcome with a mixture of emotions.“Wow,” Logan breathed as he rolled away from me, out of breath and just as sweaty as before. “That was…”His voice trailed off, but he didn’t need to finish. I didn’t want him to finish—because I was coming back to my senses.God, what had I done?The aftermath of what we had just done together hit me like a freight train. I felt as though I had fallen victim to my primal urges and I had done something I never should have done. This was a mistake, just like the first time.So why did I feel so… good?My cheeks flushed with embarrassment as the realization hit me. No, this wasn’t right. I shouldn’t have done this; it was stupid. It was so, so stupid. But I could make a promise to myself never to do it again. I could put t

  EllaI was left in the wake of Logan’s exit, my heart fluttering in my chest like a caged bird.Inside of me, my wolf roiled like a brewing storm. She was furious with me, and I couldn’t blame her. I had almost just rejected our fated mate.But in the end, I couldn’t do it. The words, no matter how hard I had tried to utter them, simply wouldn’t come. I cursed myself inwardly, wondering how I had grown so weak and lovesick.“I need some fresh air,” I whispered to myself. “I need to think.”The warm rays of the morning sun were filtering through the window, casting a golden glow across the room. It was still early in the day, and it was Sunday. Maybe a hike would help me clear my head. Maybe I just needed to get in touch with nature, and then I could see clearly through the fog of emotions that were whirling around inside of my head and clouding my judgment.Maybe.Stepping outside, I was greeted by the embrace of a perfect sunny morning. The warmth of the sun on my skin was comforting

• My Mafia Mate   #Chapter 205: Just Friends

  EllaI was in the middle of descending the hiking trail, my thoughts still consumed by the conversation with Ema and the unresolved emotions surrounding Logan, when I heard a voice calling my name.“Ella! Ella, wait up!”I turned around, my heart skipping a beat as I spotted none other than Devon in the distance, waving and heading my way. My surprise was palpable as he drew closer, but his presence wasn’t unwelcome. It was nice to see a friend right now.“Devon?” I exclaimed. “What are you doing here?”He grinned as he approached, that familiar mischievous glint in his eyes. “I hike here all of the time,” he said with a shrug. “Seems like you do too, considering this is where we first met. You haven’t forgotten already, have you?”I couldn’t help but smile at the memory. It felt like a lifetime ago when I had literally bumped into Devon on this very trail, right when I needed someone the most.He had helped get rid of a group of guys who were bothering me by pretending to be my boyfr

• My Mafia Mate   #Chapter 206: Keep Your Friends Close

  EllaAfter my hike and the introspective conversation with Ema, I found myself back at Logan’s mansion, standing in front of his office door with my heart pounding in my chest.I had come here with a purpose, a resolve to apologize for my earlier behavior and finally confess my feelings for him. It was time to be honest, to let him know how much he meant to me.Taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door and heard his deep voice calling for me to come in. My heart raced, and for a moment, I felt a rush of excitement and anticipation. This was it; I was going to tell him.As I entered his office, Logan looked up from his desk, his piercing gaze fixing on me. “Ella,” he said in that low, gravelly voice of his, “did you need something?”The words I had rehearsed in my mind were on the tip of my tongue, ready to spill out. But as I stood there, awkwardness creeping in, I faltered at the last moment. Suddenly, my confidence seemed to evaporate, leaving me feeling vulnerable and exposed.Lo

• My Mafia Mate   #Chapter 207: Nerves of Steel

  EllaIt had been a long day at the office, but a fulfilling one nonetheless. After working out our plans and splitting up the cases based on our interests and areas of expertise, Sarah and I planned for another meeting in the morning.I was excited to work with her, although I knew that working too closely together could throw a wrench into our budding friendship if we weren’t careful. Still, I trusted Sarah deeply, and I sorely needed the help—and she needed the cases if she was going to move up in the firm and get Mr. Henderson’s attention for the upcoming promotions.By the end of the day, though, I was exhausted and ready to go home. I went through my usual rigamarole of packing up my files, my laptop, and my tapped phone, even though the thought of taking it anywhere with me anymore made me sick.I almost considered leaving it here again. Another ‘accident’. Another night of not being listened to, if that was even possible.But Logan had made his point very clear already; appeara
