In the arms of My mafia Ex
Lily Montgomery had always believed her life was marked by goodbyes. Her father, a mystery buried beneath lies. Her ex-fiancé, Matteo, who disappeared without explanation, shattering her heart and dreams. And now, her mother, taken by a cruel illness, leaving her completely alone.
Returning to New York for the funeral, Lily—a failed writer struggling to rebuild her career—only hoped to close this painful chapter. But fate had other plans. Her father wasn’t dead as she had always believed—he was Luigi Romano, one of the most powerful mafia leaders in the city. And Matteo? The man who walked away without a trace belonged to that dark world… and now he was her future husband.
Forced into marriage for her own safety, Lily finds herself trapped between betrayals, secrets, and a love that never truly died. As she fights to escape the mafia’s grasp and uncover the truth about her origins, a new dilemma arises: Did Matteo really betray her, or did he leave to protect her? And worse… will he do whatever it takes to win her back?
In a game between past and present, between duty and desire, Lily must decide if she can still trust the man she once loved… or if he is just another lie in her life.

Chapter: 14.My heart pounded against my chest, and my breath caught in my throat. Had I heard that right? A Russian mobster wanted me? But why? What was Matteo hiding?My eyes darted to him, searching for answers in his cold, impassive expression."What did he mean by that, Matteo?" My voice was low, but filled with fury.He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he swirled the wine in his glass, as if he hadn’t just heard something completely alarming.He kept talking with the men while I stared at him. They were discussing business—guns, drugs, and other things. Now I understood why he was so rich.Finally, we left the table, and I took a deep breath, dragging him to a corner of the restaurant."Matteo!" My patience snapped. "These mobsters want me? Why? What are you hiding from me?"He locked eyes with me. There was something dangerous in them. A silent warning. "Lily, now and here is not the time.""Now is exactly the time! You dragged me into this life, made me your wife against my will, and now

Chapter: 13Lily MontgomeryI woke up with a terrible headache.I stared at the ceiling. Yes, it was real. I was actually married, and this wasn’t just a horrible nightmare.I glanced at my phone screen and rolled my eyes."You need to come with me. You have thirty minutes to get ready. Don't be late."Jerk. Even through text, he managed to be an asshole.I tossed the phone onto the bed and took a deep breath. I couldn’t believe I was living a life where I had to obey Matteo Salvatore. The same Matteo who once made me promises and now gave me orders like I was just another piece in his dirty game.I walked to the closet and grabbed anything that looked comfortable. But before I could finish getting dressed, my phone vibrated again."Twenty minutes.""He has to be kidding."I put on a black long-sleeved shirt and a pair of fitted jeans. Tying my hair up in a ponytail, I threw on a light jacket. I had no intention of impressing him. He could choke on my bad mood along with his own arrogance.As soo

Chapter: 12Matteo Salvatore"He was Russian. I'm sure of it," I say to Luigi about one of the men who attacked us earlier."But attacking like this in broad daylight? They're desperate," Luigi replies, his deep voice thoughtful.He leans forward, taking a cigar from his hand, and the scent of smoke blends with the tension in the air. I couldn't stand him, but if it was necessary to protect Lily, I would deal with it.The office door creaks open, and Paolo steps in, his expression heavy with urgency."Boss," he begins, his voice firm but unable to hide his concern. "I just got word from our informants. The Russians… they want something."I turn to him, my body tensing. "What do they want, Paolo?"He looks at me before dropping the bombshell. "They want your wife. If you hand her over, they'll call off the war."The air grows thick, the tension spreading through the room like wildfire. I stare at Paolo, trying to process his words, but I already know the truth. This was a provocation, a move by the

Chapter: 11The vehicle came to an abrupt stop in front of a towering mansion—just as grand as it was intimidating.I stepped out of the car, my breath caught in my chest as I took in the sight before me. How had the boy who grew up in the same neighborhood as me ended up owning all of this? How could he have lied to me… about everything?Matteo stepped out right behind me, adjusting his suit."This will be your new home. And from now on, you are a Salvatore."I didn’t have time to respond.The first gunshot rang out like thunder, shattering the silence of the night.My body reacted before my mind, instinctively ducking. My wedding dress got caught on one of the gate’s metal bars, keeping me from running.Another shot.I felt a strong tug, Matteo.He dragged me inside the property, his muscular body acting as a shield in front of me. I could barely breathe.More gunshots. Shattering glass. Muffled screams.Matteo drew his gun from his waist in one swift, precise motion. His dark eyes, now cold as

Chapter: 10Lily MontgomeryMy hands clenched the instant I saw the blonde in red practically throwing herself at Matteo.As if being forced into this marriage wasn’t enough, now I had to watch a woman rubbing up against him, not even caring about my presence.If this were a real marriage, maybe I’d care less. But the fact that it was a sham made everything worse. As if my pride were being crushed, and I was nothing but a disposable ornament.I took a deep breath, averting my gaze before my fury made me act on impulse. That’s when I felt a presence beside me.My father.He gave me a satisfied glance before turning to a well-dressed couple approaching. Looks like more people from the mafia. As if there was anyone here who wasn’t.“This is my daughter, Lily,” my father said, puffing his chest with pride as if I were some sort of trophy.The woman, elegant and middle-aged, studied me for a moment before breaking into a cordial smile.“A very beautiful ragazza, Luigi. I’m glad you found her again.”F

Chapter: 09Matteo SalvatoreI adjusted the cuffs of my shirt as I walked toward the guest hall with my wife.Lily's displeasure was almost palpable, if not for the fake smiles she gave to people she didn’t even know.I had always imagined that one day we would get married. But not under these circumstances. She couldn’t even stand to look at me, and I knew I deserved it.A second chance was impossible.I pulled her aside, entering a private room in the mansion. She glared at me, swiftly pulling her arm free."Already claiming your husband’s rights?" she mocked. "Know that I agreed to this because I had no choice, but you will never touch me."I simply kept my expression impassive and handed her a paper with a few clauses."What the hell is this?"Her eyes widened as I held out a pen."Sign it."She stared at the paper in her hands as if it were a possible death sentence. Her eyes scanned the lines quickly, and I saw her brows furrow as the words became clear to her."You’ve got to be kidding me…

Chapter: 44.Silverclaw Mia MillerMy eyes are blindfolded. I can’t see anything, no trace of where I might be. I only know that I am in a moving car, and I want to get out of here. I try to scream, but I feel weak; he sprayed something inside the car as soon as I got in. I clasp my hands together and ask... if the Moon Goddess, who they always talk about in the pack, really exists, to save me from this and take me back to Lorenzo.The car stopped abruptly. I felt the weight of the silence around me, except for the sound of my rapid heartbeat. Still with my eyes covered, fear coursed through my veins like poison. The doors opened, and I immediately felt rough hands pulling me out, without any gentleness.“Let me go!” I tried to scream, but my voice came out weak. The substance he used in the car still made me dizzy, my body felt slow and heavy. I was dragged over what seemed to be dirt ground. I could hear the rustling of leaves beneath my feet, the wind shaking the trees. Was it a forest?The scent of wolve

Chapter: 43. PanicMia MillerThat kiss awakened feelings in me that I thought had died. I knew it was forbidden, I knew he wasn't right for me. That everything was a mistake. But they always told me that the forbidden was more enticing. And even though I knew the Alpha wasn't the person who would make me happy, I gave myself completely.His touches… his warm mouth on mine. Skin on skin. I didn’t know how to react to all of it. On that terrace, naked, looking at the moonlight, I couldn’t think of anything bad. Only the present moment.His fingers were sliding down my body, caressing my waist. I felt something different, like a primitive instinct I didn’t even know existed was taking over me. I was a wolf. And it was hard to accept that. I was in denial. But when I smelled his scent, I forgot everything.While we looked at the starry sky, I broke the silence.“What do you feel for me?” I let the question slip out.“What kind of question is that now?” He smiled faintly.“Just answer, Ethan.”He stood up,

Chapter: 42.The last dinnerEthan Greenwood. I hated the feeling of being pressured. Alphas were made to give orders, command, and control their pack, not be pressured.I was in one of the offices inherited from my father. We were respected throughout the city because my father had many businesses here, and all the wolves, humans, whoever they were, respected the Greenwood name. This situation would never have happened with my father. The feared Alpha.For a long time, I thought I was like him. But if I had to choose between marrying a she-wolf I couldn’t stand and protecting my son, I would choose the latter."Alpha." Nick entered the office with the phone in hand."What is it?" I stared at him."The leader of the pack wants to talk to you, Ethan."Oh no... What does that son of a bitch want?I grabbed the phone from the beta’s hands quickly. I was ready to tell him a few choice words."What do you want?" I said through gritted teeth."Is that how you talk to old friends, Alpha Greenwood?""We’re not friends.

Chapter: 41.Continuous visions.Mia Miller "So I have to know how to dodge several wolves in a possible attack?" I ask, leaning toward Ethan."If you want to stay alive, yes," he whispers.The training with Ethan continued. I had been trying to avoid him, but it was impossible. He was the father of my child, and we lived in the same environment. As much as I wanted to avoid him with all my heart, I couldn’t.We paused the training to catch our breath. I glanced at him from the corner of my eye. His sweaty body revealed his perfectly toned abs, and his hair was almost wet with sweat. It was hard to look at Ethan Greenwood without wanting him."When can I go back to the city?" I asked, breaking the silence between us."As soon as it’s safe," he said in monosyllabic words."The people... Well, the wolves here don’t like me, Ethan. And they make that pretty clear. And then there’s Amber.""You care too much about others, Mia. What matters is that I’m the Alpha, and I’m in charge here. You’re the mother of my firstborn.

Chapter: 40. Unexpected encounters Mia MillerI think more painful than loving someone and having it go wrong is liking someone and knowing, deep down, that it will never work. This was the suffocating feeling that surrounded me every time I looked at Ethan. He was in all my thoughts, every second of my day. Ethan was the first thought when I woke up, and the last when my head touched the pillow at night. Even though everything in me screamed to stay away, to protect myself from a feeling with no future, I couldn’t. He was a jerk, selfish, and yet, irresistibly a part of me.How did I let this happen? At first, it was supposed to be just one night. A damn night. Nothing more. I went into his arms seeking comfort, trying to escape the pain caused by Collin’s betrayal. But somehow, everything turned into this—a tangle of complicated emotions, a confusion of desires and resentments. Now, I was trapped, connected to him in a way I could never undo.My gaze shifted to Lorenzo, playfully messing with his toys on the floor. T

Chapter: 39.Choices and renunciationsEthan GreenwoodThe sun was rising on the horizon, its soft rays filtering through the trees that surrounded our territory. The cold air brought a sense of calm, a peace I rarely felt lately. Mia and Lorenzo were safe here, but the tranquility felt more like an illusion, a prelude to something dark that was to come.The training with Mia went better than I expected. She was strong; we just needed to refine her skills. As I watched the pack training in the distance, I felt my phone vibrate in the pocket of my jacket. The number was from Nick, always pragmatic and direct. I answered on the second ring, already feeling the weight of concern."Alpha," his voice was graver than usual, "we need to talk. Now. I’ll come to you."An alert ran through my body. "What happened?" I asked, feeling the tension rise."Talk on the phone, Beta, I don't have time," Nick paused, which only heightened my anxiety."We received a message from the Blackthorn pack. They’re moving against us."My body immediat

Chapter: EpilogueEmmaIt never even crossed my mind that my life would be the way it is now. Everything seemed so lost, so far away, until a certain mobster brought me to an unknown mansion.

Today was my graduation, a day I never imagined I would be witnessing.It wasn't easy, I studied so much that my hands hurt.“Honey, have you seen my underpants? I can't find them,” Andrew says.“If you look in the closet instead of the sock drawer, I bet you'll find them,” I laughed. “Funny.”Liam comes running into the room, he's a beautiful boy, his golden hair like mine, and a bit like Andrew's, his e

It was just me and my dad, but now we were going to have a full family.Today was Christmas Eve, and I was proud of the beautiful work I was doing at my father-in-law Matteo's NGO. We distributed food, clothes and toys, and I knew that every single one of those things would make the children happy.

Liam was growing at lightning speed, this child already wanted to run around the house.“Son,” I went after him nimbly.“He really can't sit still,” Andrew said, “Come with daddy son, let's go and see the Christmas tree.” He carried Liam on his lap, and then gave me a kiss.”Everyone was coming over tonight, we were having a spe

"Wow, how beautiful every place is," she said, looking at the scenery."We were in the private jet, and Emma hated it. She said we were going to die and that she was scared, but after a few minutes by my side she forgot all about it. "Italy is enchanting," I said with a twinkle in my eye. I had chosen this as my city. My biological father, Matteo, had left me some property here and I was going to enjoy it too.Speaking of him, we were getting better and better as father and son. We were close, he and I talked about everything, and he showed me that it's possible to have a healthy relationship with your father. I forgave him, I understood that we can make mistakes. And holding a grudge wasn't going to make me a better person. I knew that.We were going to Milan. The best part of Italy for me.

Then the seamstress makes the final adjustments to the wedding dress.When everything is ready, I turn around and look at myself in the mirror, I look beautiful, holding back the tears from falling from my eyes.My make-up was basic, but it completely highlighted my beauty. My hair was tied up in an elegant updo.“Here you are, the most beautiful bride I've ever seen in my life,” my father said as he entered the room.His eyes were watery, and although he hadn't agreed one hundred percent with my marriage to Andrew, he was thrilled. My father still felt guilty about everything he had put me through.“Dad,” I smiled, “I can't believe you're here.It was going to be one of the happiest days of my life.

Chapter: 108.Glimpsing TomorrowPOV Andrew When we arrived at the place where Lexie was supposed to be with my son, Emma got out of the car and I asked her to get back in.I didn't feel at all good about the situation, and I felt guilty about the whole thing. Lexie had always loved me, and I hadn't wanted to reciprocate. I always made it clear that it was just sex, nothing more, and that I would never take on any woman. When she saw me with Emma, she went berserk. I'd put a stop to it, I asked them to put her up against the wall, but it was no use. Lorenzo strategically positioned himself outside the car, watching for any movement.“I'm going in first,” I said to everyone in the car, and Emma looked at me."“I'm going in too, it's my son."“Emma. We don't know what this crazy woman wants, I'll go in first and try to talk to her, please wait in the car.
