My Mafia Wife Went Insane After I Died
Angela · Completed · 6.0k Words
Introduction
To compensate for my brother's "trauma," my parents stood by and did nothing. Using her influence, my wife pressured me to take his place at a black-market clinic, testing a lethal drug.
They thought I was just going to suffer some physical hardship, that after enduring these two weeks, everything would be happily resolved.
But they didn't know I had already been poisoned by my brother. I was dying.
I died in agony on the cold operating table. As my body was being gnawed and rotted by rats, they were happily vacationing by the sea.
Only when the lies were exposed did my wife kick down the hidden door. Holding my maggot-infested, decaying flesh, she wept until she vomited blood, then went mad and swallowed a bullet. My parents watched their family shattered and wept on their knees.
Chapter 1
"You've destroyed Chris's hope of becoming a father, so you'll repay it with your own life!"
A resounding slap landed heavily on the side of my face. My head snapped to the side, the corner of my mouth splitting and bleeding. Covering my burning cheek, I stared in disbelief at the woman before me—my wife, Rosa Benedetti. Dressed in a sharply tailored black haute couture suit, she looked down on me as if I were a piece of disgusting trash.
"Alex! How vile can you be, hiring street thugs to maim your own brother!" Her voice was icy with suppressed rage. "Chris was beaten trying to fight them off... The doctor said his reproductive system suffered irreversible damage. He can never have children in this lifetime!"
My mind went blank.
"What? I didn't—"
Before I could finish, the study door opened.
My father, Giovanni, helped a frail-looking Chris inside, with our mother, Carmela, close behind. My twin brother's face was pale as he leaned weakly on our father's shoulder, his eyes—identical to mine—red and swollen with tears.
But I caught the precise details—his fingers clutching our father's arm, nails perfectly manicured, with no signs of the breakage or grime from a supposed struggle. Though he pretended to be unsteady, his footing was solid, nothing like someone with serious abdominal injuries.
"Alex..." Chris burst into tears the moment he saw me. "Why... we're brothers who share the same blood..."
He clutched his abdomen, curling his tall frame in pain. "I know you've been jealous of me since we were kids... but I never thought you'd..."
"That's not true! Chris, I didn't do anything!" I took an urgent step forward, wanting to reach for him.
"Don't touch him!"
Our mother, Carmela, rushed forward and shoved me hard. I was already weak; stumbling backward, my back slammed heavily into the mahogany bookshelf.
"You heartless monster!" Mother's shrill voice pierced my eardrums. "Twenty-five years ago, I nearly died on the operating table from massive hemorrhaging giving birth to you! I always knew you were born to bring us misfortune!"
"Mom..." My throat felt stuffed with broken glass. "I swear I didn't do it! I swear!"
My father, Giovanni, couldn't even spare me a glance, fiercely protecting Chris in his arms, his tone as cold as if addressing an enemy. "Alex, you've disappointed me too much. Had I known, I should have had the doctor strangle you in the delivery room back then!"
His words were like a rusty dagger, stabbing into my heart and cruelly twisting.
Rosa strode forward, grabbed my collar, her powerful grip nearly choking me. "Why would you do this? Was the power I gave you not enough? Was I not good enough to you? Why can't you tolerate Chris?!"
In that moment, in her deep eyes, I saw rage, disappointment, and something I had never seen before—undisguised loathing.
She let go, letting me fall to the floor as if touching me for another second would dirty her hands.
"There's a doctor in the black market who developed a new cellular repair serum, claiming it can reshape damaged organs." Rosa wiped her fingers, her voice cold as she pronounced my sentence. "But the drug is in the experimental stage; the fatality rate is unknown. Chris's body can't withstand any more torment."
She looked down at me, her eyes like those judging a condemned man. "So, you will take the test for him. Two weeks. It's what you owe him."
"If you dare refuse, we divorce. I will ensure the Vitale family is completely erased from Valentea."
I looked up, despairingly, at this woman who had once held me in her arms, kissed my forehead, and promised to protect me for life.
"Rosa, don't force Alex..." Chris sobbed hoarsely. "Maybe he just lost his head for a moment... Maybe it's because I went abroad two years ago and broke his heart, that he hates me so much now..."
Father patted his back. "My good son, the rot is in his bones. It's not your fault."
I sat slumped on the cold marble floor, my heart turning to ash.
None of them could possibly know—just three days ago, my personal doctor, with a trembling voice, told me: I had been chronically poisoned with high concentrations of arsenic. The toxins had eroded my organs. I had, at most, a month left to live.
In that moment, my world completely collapsed. I had fantasized that in the final countdown of my life, I could hold Rosa by the fireplace and say a proper goodbye. I had even dared to hope that maybe, in my last moments, my parents might, out of guilt, give me a brief embrace.
But now, it was all a joke.
Since I only had a month left anyway, what did two more weeks of inhuman torment matter?
"Fine." I slowly pushed myself up with my arms, my voice as dead as a dry well. "I agree. I'll go."
The moment I said it, I clearly caught the fleeting, triumphant smirk that Chris hid against our father's shoulder.
Rosa looked at me, a flicker of something complex, barely perceptible, crossing her eyes. But that emotion vanished instantly. She turned to Chris, reaching out to stroke his hair, her tone holding the tenderness I had once enjoyed exclusively. "Chris, don't be afraid. You'll be healed soon, I promise."
My home, my wife, the harbor I thought I had.
It was all a mirage.
Dragging my heavy steps, I turned towards the door. Every breath of air here suffocated me.
Just as I touched the doorknob, a powerful force seized my wrist. Rosa.
My heart still betrayed me with a frantic leap. I turned, a last pathetic flicker of hope igniting in my eyes. Maybe... she saw through it? Maybe she wanted to say she believed me?

Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.
And he knew it.
The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
MOONLIT CHASE
But no, I had to walk through the park at midnight like an idiot. Now I've seen something I can't unsee—a massive black wolf tearing apart three men, then shifting into the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on.
Kieran Vaughn. Wealthy lawyer, werewolf, and apparently, he thinks I'm his mate.
Here's the problem: I don't do relationships. I definitely don't do supernatural things. I absolutely don't do rich guys who think they can control my life just because their inner wolf has decided I smell like home.
When hunters start targeting me to get to him, Kieran drags me into his pristine penthouse for "protection." Now I'm living with a man who looks at me like I'm his last meal, whose touch sets my skin on fire, and who's barely holding onto his control.
He says everyone he loves dies. I say that's not my problem except it is because I'm falling for this broken, dangerous man and his beast.
And in his world? Love will get you killed.
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
Bonds at War: The Virgin is Mine
Perhaps then they would stop controlling my every move. Maybe my brothers would stop resenting me. Perhaps I wouldn’t feel so invisible anymore.

Heartbroken and humiliated, I left everything behind and went to Elite alone.
But the academy isn’t the fairytale I dreamed about.
Beneath the grand halls and traditions, a brutal game is being played.
The four ruling Alphas of the North, South, East, and West fight for power, dominance... and now, for me.
A virgin. Untouched. Unclaimed. The prize they all want.
There’s the mate who shattered my heart and swears he’ll win me back.
The brilliant strategist who wants me as his Luna.
The dangerous playboy who promises no one will ever touch me but him.
And the cold, possessive Alpha who watches from the shadows—and would destroy anyone who dares to take me from him.
But in a place where love is a battlefield and lust is a weapon... falling in love might be the most dangerous thing I ever do.
Welcome to Elite Order Academy—where every desire has a price, and my body is the ultimate trophy.
My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.

The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?

One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
