Chapter 106
Kane's serious expression broke into a smile at my words, and he reached out to flick my forehead with his finger.
I covered my forehead and looked at him with some dissatisfaction. "Why'd you hit me?"
Kane gave me an exasperated look and shot back, "Do you really think I'm some kind of pervert who likes babies?"
I muttered, "Well, that's hard to say. You're in the mafia—you've got plenty of scandals."
Kane narrowed his eyes and gave me a warning look.
I quickly tugged at his hand playfully and said, "I was wrong, you're definitely not a pervert. Come on, tell me—when exactly did you start liking me?"
I looked at Kane, my eyes full of anticipation.
Kane scratched his head and finally shook it. "Actually, I don't know exactly when I fell for you. After all, I'd been secretly watching over you and your mother. Maybe it just happened gradually over time."
So Kane had been watching Mom and me all along?
Then why didn't he ever show up when Luca was bullying us?
A trace of sadness flickered in my eyes.
Kane seemed to read my thoughts. He said somewhat helplessly, "My father died early, and my mother fought tooth and nail just to preserve what power I have now. Back then, I could barely take care of myself—there was no way I could help you. Where do you think the money Camilla gave to Luca came from?"
My eyes widened. "You gave it to her?"
Kane nodded. "She was working at one of my shops back then. I'd give her extra pay every month. Otherwise, with her salary, how could she possibly have had anything left over to help you and your mother?"
I looked at Kane with mixed feelings.
"Later, I stopped coming to see you because someone was following me. If they'd found out how I felt about you, you probably wouldn't have survived till now."
There was a hint of guilt in Kane's tone.
I knew he was telling the truth.
Before Kane became the mafia boss, plenty of people must have been watching him like hawks, and even now, it was the same.
If they'd found out that young Kane had fallen for some girl with no family background, who knows what methods they would've used against me to threaten him.
I smiled at Kane and said seriously, "It's a good thing you didn't come find me back then. Otherwise, I definitely would've become a weakness they could use against you."
Kane ruffled my hair and continued, "Later, after I fully took over the mafia, I found someone I thought I could trust and wanted him to approach you and your mother through charity work. But by then, your mother had already passed away, and that person took the money and ran. By the time I found out, you'd already become a nun."
Kane knew that if he'd asked me to marry him back then, I definitely wouldn't have agreed.
He didn't want to force me to do anything, so he went to Luca first.
Using Luca's debts as leverage, he had Luca arrange our marriage, and everything that followed happened naturally.
I looked into Kane's jewel-like eyes and asked with some confusion, "Then why didn't you tell me all this from the beginning?"
Kane nodded slowly. "I know you're a kind girl. I didn't want you to be with me out of gratitude. I wanted you to truly like me."
I thumped his chest in mild annoyance. "Then what about all those things you said to me at the start?"
Kane explained somewhat helplessly, "Think about how much you resisted me back then. If I hadn't told you the truth but still insisted on marrying you, and I hadn't made those promises, you never would've accepted it."
Hearing Kane say this, I fell quiet, a bit embarrassed.
He was right—if he hadn't made those promises back then, I might have insisted on staying a nun devoted to the Lord to preserve my chastity.
Kane noticed my embarrassment and pulled me into his arms, his tone warm and tinged with relief.
"No matter what, we're together now. We're both safe and sound, aren't we? We have so much future ahead of us to walk through together. And don't you think you're becoming more and more like a mafia boss's wife? When you hit Luca yesterday, even I couldn't help wanting to cheer for you."
As he was about to slip his tongue in, I pulled back a little.
"Thank you, Kane. I didn't know you'd done so much for me."
But Kane cupped my face, looking at me with deep affection and tenderness. "You're my wife, my love, the person I'll spend the rest of my life with. Whatever I do for you, I do willingly. You don't need to thank me."
Kane's words made all my defenses completely crumble. I kissed him first, and our tongues tangled together.
Wet sounds echoed through the room. Before we knew it, we'd both shed our pajamas and entered each other's deepest places.
I actively moved my body, letting Kane's hard cock slide in and out of me, clear fluid splashing where we joined.
He came faster than usual.
I collapsed on his chest, my tone somewhat teasing. "Mr. Moretti, you do know I only just turned legal, right?"
Kane raised an eyebrow, stroking my hair, and shifted his lower body, making me gasp. "What are you trying to say, my cupcake?"
I lifted my head, looking at him playfully and a bit slyly. "So maybe one day your body might not keep up with mine."
Kane understood what I meant. A flash of annoyance crossed his eyes. "You're saying I'll get old and won't be able to satisfy you anymore?"
I blinked innocently. "I didn't say that—you thought of it yourself."
Kane looked at me like this, somewhat gritting his teeth.
He flipped over and pinned me beneath him, saying word by word, "I'm going to show you whether or not I can satisfy you."
I cried out as I felt him hardening inside me again.
This time lasted longer than any previous time. I could barely take it and nearly passed out, finally begging through tears.
"Kane, I was wrong. Even in ten years, twenty years, you'll still be able to satisfy me."
My words greatly pleased Kane, and he finally released inside me.
He kissed my cheek contentedly and said, "Alright, let's go have breakfast now."
I smiled and reached out my hand for Kane to pull me up.
The moment I stood up, I felt dizzy. As Kane cried out in alarm, my eyes rolled back, and I passed out.
