Chapter 160 - chapter 155The Frozen Embrace

The path to the luxury cabin was covered in snow, but Victor's stride was unwavering. When a 6'5" monstrous man carries a 6'2" statuesque beauty like a child, the sight is both royal and intimidating.

Victor's Invincible Strength: Alia's long legs dangled near Victor's knees. She struggled to break free, but Victor's grip was like iron. He walked forward with a winner's smirk, whispering, "Struggle all you want, Alia. Your 6'2" frame doesn't have the strength to escape this 6'5" cage."

Entering the Cabin: Victor kicked open the heavy wooden door. Inside, the fireplace roared, creating a warmth that contrasted sharply with the freezing Alaska outside. He didn't put her down; instead, he headed straight for the large leather sofa.

Alia's Defiance: Clutching Victor's collar, Alia hissed, "Put me down, Victor! Do you think carrying me like this makes me forget everything you've done?" Her voice trembled—perhaps from rage, or perhaps from the heat of his intense proximity.

The Climax: Victor tossed her onto the sofa. Her expensive fur coat spread across the leather. Victor loomed over her, unbuttoning his overcoat, and said, "I never told you to forget. I wanted you to remember—no matter where you go in this world, you aren't tall enough to escape Victor's reach."As Victor unbuttoned his overcoat one by one, his gaze never flickered away from Alia. The red glow of the fireplace made his 6'5" shadow loom even larger against the wall, like a dark mountain hovering over Alia's 6'2" frame.

Victor's Chilling Challenge: He tossed the coat onto the floor. Rolling his shirt sleeves up to his elbows, he stepped closer. His voice was deep and hypnotic, "Even that fur coat won't save you from the Alaskan cold, Alia. If you want to burn off that stubbornness, you have to come closer to the fire."

Alia's Defiance: Alia, half-reclined on the sofa, straightened her long legs and stood up. At 6'2", her eyes met his chin. She placed her hands on his chest and tried to shove him back with all her might. But Victor didn't budge an inch. Gritting her teeth, she said, "I don't fear the fire, Victor. I am a Phoenix. Even if I burn, I know how to be reborn."

Physical Dominance: Victor wrapped his arms around her waist, crushing her against him. Because of their heights, the embrace felt like the collision of two twin peaks. He leaned into her ear and whispered, "The Phoenix burns, yes, but it needs a sky to flap its wings. And I am the sky that keeps you captive."

Alia's Vulnerability: Alia's body trembled with a mix of rage and intensity. The scent of Victor's cologne and the heat from the hearth began to numb her senses again. She gripped his shirt collar perhaps to push him away, or perhaps to pull him even closer.Alia gathered all the strength of her 6'2" frame. Gripping Victor's broad shoulders, she tried to slam him onto the sofa to avenge her humiliation. Every muscle was taut, her eyes filled with a lethal intent. She pushed him with everything she had—but the result was zero.

Standing Against a Mountain: Where Alia's 6'2" strength would have been enough to crush any other man, Victor stood like an immovable stone mountain. His 6'5" massive frame didn't budge an inch.

Alia's Failure: As she realized she couldn't move him, a look of helpless rage filled her face. She tried repeatedly, her breathing becoming faster. Her hands trembled against his chest. She hissed through gritted teeth, "Why... why won't you move? Why can't I defeat you?"

Victor's Sinister Grin: Victor watched her failed attempts from inches away. He grabbed her trembling wrists—tighter than before. Smirking, he said, "Good try, God-Mother. But remember, a Phoenix can shake the air with its wings, but it cannot tear the sky. I am that sky."

Dominance: Victor applied just a fraction of his strength. He effortlessly spun her around and pinned her back against the sofa. Her long 6'2" body sprawled across the leather, trapped under his massive presence. The flickering flames of the fireplace cast a restless glow over Alia's face. She was pinned to the sofa under the sheer weight of Victor's 6'5" frame. Her 6'2" body was arched, and with her rapid breathing, the blue phoenix tattoo seemed to come alive in the firelight.

Victor's Silent Dominance: Victor said nothing. He simply stared deep into Alia's eyes. One hand pinned her wrists above her head, while the other wiped a bead of sweat from her cheek. His touch was colder than ice, but his gaze was hotter than fire.

Alia's Final Struggle: Alia was struggling to breathe. She tried to push him away with her long legs, but his weight and strength left her no room to maneuver. Through gritted teeth, she rasped, "You... you want to kill me? Then kill me! But no one gave you the right to humiliate me like this."

The Sinister Claim: Victor brought his lips inches from hers. His warm breath fanned across her face. He whispered in a dangerously low tone, "Humiliation? No, Alia, this is ownership. Every time you run, I will find you like this. Your 6'2" beauty only belongs within the reach of these 6'5" arms."

The Moment of Surrender: The defiance in Alia's eyes began to fade into exhaustion. She realized she couldn't defeat this monster with physical strength. Her trembling was no longer just from rage—it was something else. She closed her eyes, and at that exact moment, Victor pressed his lips against the crook of her neck.The heat inside the cabin had completely defeated the sub-zero temperatures outside. The red glow of the fire and Victor's massive shadow made the room feel like a primal cave. Alia stopped struggling, but her rapid breathing and racing heart showed that the storm inside her had not yet settled.

Victor's Mark: As Victor pressed his lips and teeth against Alia's neck, she winced in a mix of pain and a strange shiver. She wrapped her long 6'2" frame around him—not to push him away this time, but to hold on. Her nails dug through his shirt and into the skin of his back.

Alia's Muffled Cry: She whispered incoherently, "Victor... ummm... you're so cruel... ugh!" Her voice was no longer that of the dominant God-Mother; it was the voice of a woman surrendering. Victor pulled back slightly to look into her eyes. Her blue eyes were now glazed with intoxication, just like that night two months ago.

Artful Dominance: Victor traced his large palm from her cheek down her throat to that blue phoenix tattoo. He said in a calm but heavy voice, "Without cruelty, it's impossible to win you over, Alia. This Alaskan ice is witness—tonight, I will break your 6'2" pride piece by piece."

The Final Descent: Alia could no longer hold back. She tilted her head back on the sofa and hid her face against Victor's broad shoulder. Victor crushed her completely under his weight. The expensive fur coat slid off the sofa onto the floor, just as her last bit of resistance crumbled into dust.Victor had a sinister grin on his lips. Leaning close to Alia's ear, he delivered a crushing threat in his deep, heavy voice.

Victor's Terrifying Threat: Victor whispered against her neck, "Don't be so proud, Alia. Remember, my hidden cameras are recording everything. If you cross the line, the world won't see you as the 'God-Mother'—they'll see you on some 'Hub.' Where will your 6'2" pride be then?"

Alia's Scream: Hearing such a filthy threat, Alia's blood ran cold. She had fought many battles, but she never imagined this kind of humiliation. She shook her head frantically and screamed— "No! No Victor! You can't do this! Please, no!"

The Struggle: Alia tried with all her might to scramble out from under him. Tears streamed down her face. Clutching his shirt, she sobbed, "Kill me, shoot me, but please don't do this to me! I'll be destroyed!"

Victor's Coldness: Victor showed no mercy at her tears. He gripped her chin firmly and said, "Then stay quiet. Give me what I want. Remember, your honor now depends on a tiny memory card in my pocket."The scene shifts into a strange paradox. On one hand, Victor's terrifying threat; on the other, Alia's ingrained 'Mafia God-Mother' persona. She knows that to survive in this world, one must play with intellect and acting, not emotion.

Alia in the Kitchen: Alia is now busy in the cabin's modern kitchen. Instead of her luxury attire, she wears a simple yet elegant apron. She is focused on cooking an Italian dish. Her hair is tied in a loose bun, a few strands framing her face. Outside, the Alaskan snow continues to fall.

The Video Call: With a spatula in one hand, she's on a video call on an iPad. On the other side is Alexander or a trusted associate. Alia speaks in a perfectly normal tone, as if nothing happened with Victor. Her voice carries the steady authority of a God-Mother. She gives instructions in code "Ensure the shipment reaches the port on time. Any mistake will be paid for in blood."

The Counter-Move: Alia smiles inwardly. She knows Victor threatened her with the 'Hub,' but as a Mafia Queen, she knows how to handle blackmailers. Between cooking, she scans the corners of the kitchen she likely already knows where the hidden cameras are.

Victor's Entrance: Victor enters the kitchen just then, surprised by her calm demeanor. Ending her call, Alia looks at him with a mysterious, enchanting smile. She says, "Come, Victor. Your favorite pasta is ready. Taste it and tell me is there poison in the God-Mother's cooking, or love?"The atmosphere at the dining table is filled with a heavy, deceptive calm. Victor slowly sits at one end, where a steaming plate of pasta has been served for him. Alia has already ended her video call and set the iPad aside. Her 6'2" frame is composed, but what lies beneath that calm is impossible to tell.

Victor's Meal: Victor shoots a sharp look at Alia. He knows how dangerous she can be, but he isn't a man who feels fear. He takes a forkful of pasta. It tastes excellent, but he knows a lethal poison could be hidden behind that flavor. Chewing slowly, he says, "The cooking is great, God-Ma. But I'm afraid you might have set a new death trap behind this taste."

Alia's Composure: Alia, without a word, takes a bite from her own plate. She eats with pure elegance. The traces of her tears are gone, replaced by a cold, royal dignity. In response to Victor's comment, she simply looks up and offers a light, cryptic smile.

The Standoff: 6'5" Victor and 6'2" Alia sit across from each other—their shadows seemingly clashing over the table. Alia takes a sip of red wine and says calmly, "Just eat, Victor. If I were to poison you, I'd put it directly in your heart, not your food. I want you to stay healthy so you can watch how I vanish that memory card right out of your pocket."

Victor's Counter-Move: Victor laughs. He finishes his meal, wipes his mouth, and leans forward. He pulls the tiny memory card from his pocket and slides it across the table toward Alia. He whispers, "If you're so confident, take it now. But remember—this isn't the only copy."Alia didn't hesitate for a second. She snatched the memory card from the table and threw it directly into the roaring flames of the fireplace. The fire instantly consumed the tiny plastic card, turning it into ash.

Looking at Victor with a triumphant smile, she said, "That's the end of your filthy game, Victor."

But Victor's reaction was the complete opposite. He wasn't bothered at all; instead, that familiar predatory look returned to his eyes. He stood up, his massive 6'5" frame looming over Alia's 6'2" stature.

The Climax: A Surrender in the Heat

Alia in His Lap: Without a word, Victor yanked Alia toward him, settling her firmly on his lap. Her long, elegant legs splayed across the leather sofa. Within the powerful embrace of a 6'5" giant, the 6'2" God-Mother was now completely trapped.

The Intimate Touch: Victor gripped her chin with his strong fingers, bringing his face inches from hers. Their breaths collided in the heavy air. In a dangerously low, gravelly voice, he whispered, "You think burning that card makes you free? That was only the beginning." Before she could retort, he pressed his lips against hers a touch that was primitive, intense, and demanding.

The Vow of Obsession: Breaking the kiss just enough to look into her dazed blue eyes, Victor murmured, "Don't you ever forget, Alia... no matter how hard you try, your 6'2" body and your stubborn pride belong under my 6'5" shadow tonight. The fire can burn a card, but it can never destroy the obsession I have for you."

A jolt of electricity surged through Alia's entire body. The fierce Mafia God-Mother persona was fading, replaced by a raw, undeniable magnetic pull toward Victor's dominance. The cabin was silent, save for the crackling of the fire and the sound of their heavy, synchronized breathing.
