Stop following me, Mafia king
During her final assassination mission, she was killed by an explosion from her past life as an assassin. Her eyes opened to discover that she had become a 24-year-old woman. Indeed, she had been transported into a novel she had read in a previous life. Lydia, a side character in the novel, was killed by assassins sent by her sister. However, after seeing him twice or three times in three years, her contract husband marries happily at the end of the novel. And in addition, she wasn’t even mentioned, nor did he care about her after her death. ****** The darkest of times can unleash the worst in human-and also the best. In her past life, Lydia lived through those times. Forced from home to be an assassin, separated from her mom and friends for years, she experienced things that no child should ever experience. While they used her in a previous lifetime, she is now loved in this lifetime. Her contract husband, who had never been interested in her, now sought to see her every second of the day. With such beauty, who wouldn’t want her. But before he saw her and paid attention to her, it wasn't the case for Daniel. The only reason he married her was for the rumours of him being gay to stop spreading between his family members. His mother always set him up with blind dates, but one day he decided that the woman he will meet today will be his wife. Having never reneged on his words, he married her in a 'contract marriage' that she consented to. After Lydia returned to her country, Daniel Thompson, the CEO of many companies in the world as well as the ruler of the entire underworld, started treating Lydia like a jewel that could only be found in a hundred years. Despite his promise not to fall in love, Daniel falls in love with her. It's the same thing with Lydia. What happens when both of them confess their love to each other? Little treasure (little Xander) is not her son, but he is her stepson. That's what Daniel told her. During this life, she treated him as a treasure and he reciprocated. *Expert When Lydia saw the man coming out of an expensive car, her face turned pale. His dark eyes were as cold and penetrating, but his face was as handsome as she remembered. As he walked towards her, his lips formed a devilish smile, causing her heart to flutter. "Why don't you return with me, sweetheart?" his voice was husky as he beckoned her to come closer. "I'm not your wife. I signed a contract with you but that doesn’t mea..." Lydia played along but her eyes were scanning her surroundings for escape when her voice was cut by a cute one. “Mama, could it be that you don’t love me anymore and you want to leave me again” The kid was trying to act as his dad told him earlier. He looked sad so that he could bring mommy home. Little Xander also made to show his mommy his puppy-like eyes. Lydia didn’t think this man would bring her angel with him, but how can she say no to him when he was making a cute face?!! ***** See how Lydia's life changes, the sad, the happy, the dangerous, and the mysterious moments that await her. Discover how she changes her whole life to the best one. Let’s break the ‘word guessing’ and start reading. I don't own the cover, all credit goes to the original artist...

Waking up
A young woman in her early thirties, who had lost herself staring at him, staggered up from her seat, she blinked severally as she arranged the files in front of her;
''The stock prices of Dinata had risen by 9%; there was about 27% profit in the last month. ''
She said, passing a file to him; He pushed to the side and said.
''Next ''
''The cargo train arrived yesterday, the factories had started work'' Another man said, standing up;
''Next '' He said getting impatient.
Daniel still twirling his pen. There was silence; he raised his eyes to look at the board members and noticed that they were in a state of panic.
''Next! '' He repeated himself, this time, his eyes narrowing at them;
A woman in her forties stood; her hands shaky; the other members' heads were bowed because they knew what was to follow her announcement.
''Vaughn Corporation gained an extra 7% of the G.D.E shares, making them among the top 20 highest shareholders. ''
The pen twirling in his hand froze immediately and his eyes glanced at the woman who just made the announcement;
Her head was bent and her hands holding onto the file for support, her face was already pale with fear and there were beads of sweat forming on her forehead;
''What did you just say?'' Daniel sat upright in his seat; his brows narrowing;
There was pin-drop silence in the large room, as the board members held their breaths;
''Who sold those shares?!" He asked, his voice ringing in the room; no one could respond.
''Don't make me repeat myself; else this would be the last day you set your foot in this company. ''
His chest was rising and falling heavily, his eyes were already dark with rage;
Knowing that he meant every single word he said; they stood up immediately;
''They... they bought the stocks from the lowest shareholders, offering them at almost double the price, which was almost irresistible. ''
The Chief Accountant said, his head bent low; Daniel rage was nearly bursting through his veins, he grabbed a pencil holder beside him and flung it across the table;
''Get out!! All of you!! Get out!''
He screamed at them with rage as he stood up from the seat; they instantly scrambled out of the room; leaving him red with rage.
His assistant was plastered to the wall behind him; Adam wished he could leave too, but that was not possible. He needed his permission to leave. He knew why his boss was this angry. Lydia still didn't wake up and his boss got mad every second's pass.
Daniel breathed heavily, his head bent, and fists on the table.
''Adam, stop standing there and come here," He said.
Adam hopped to where Daniel was standing;
''Did you know about this?!''
He glared at him; riling a file towards him; Adam narrowly escaped a cut as the file breezed past his face; he turned and picked up the file but didn't respond.
''I don't know how you do it, I don't care how you will do it. Buy those shares back! Don't appear before me until it is done, do you hear me?'' He said and then continued."And get rid of those shareholders, make sure they never realize again without my permission!!!"
Adam nodded and sauntered out of the room; as soon as he was outside, he heaved a sigh of relief. He just wished he could go home and watch movies, but with this kind of boss. He can never live in peace.
He just hoped that Lydia would wake up soon enough so things could go back to their normal state.
Inside the meeting room. Daniel was in the middle of his personal thoughts when his phone rang. When he checked the caller ID, it was from home. In a moment, Daniel answered, "Boss, the miss woke up." He got up and stomped out of the room and dashed to the elevator.
