My Dad's Mafia Bestfriend
Book 1 – My Dad’s Mafia Best Friend
When Lyra is sent to Italy to stay with her father’s best friend, Adrian, after his business collapses in New York, her first concern is for her dad—but right behind it is the forbidden desire she’s harbored for Adrian since they met a year ago.
Adrian fights his own battle, struggling to keep his best friend’s daughter out of his mind. But as the fire between them grows, resisting becomes impossible. With their age gap, the weight of taboo, and the dangerous Mafia world Lyra’s father wants to shield her from, how long can they ignore the spark between them?
Book 2 – Greg and Kael’s Love Story (M/M)
Fashion design student Greg is already overwhelmed—balancing classes, an internship, and the secret that his best friend’s boyfriend is a Mafia boss. The last thing he needs is trouble knocking at his door. But trouble doesn’t just knock—it sneaks in, wearing the name Kael.
Greg should stay far away, but danger has never looked so tempting. As their worlds collide in a game of deception, attraction, and secrets too dangerous to expose, the question isn’t just how long Kael can hide—it’s how long Greg can resist.
Book 3 – Bella and Quinn’s Love Story (W/W)
Bella has spent years burying her dark past, even from her closest friends. But one mistake lands her behind bars, trapped with a mysterious woman who won’t stop getting under her skin.
When an attempted poisoning leads to her breaking out from prison, Bella never expects the real shock to come after—the truth about her family, her past, and the undeniable pull toward the very woman she should be avoiding, Quinn.

Chapter: Chapter 66BellaOne month later,The town was just as quiet yet noisy as I remembered it. Most tourists were bustling around as they got some things, and I picked out a few things myself for dinner since we didn't have the luxury of ordering pizza here."Here." The elderly man said as he handed me the ingredients for soup I had bought, and I paid him in cash, thanking him as I left.Seriously, where was this girl, Quinn?I glanced around, trying to find my companion, who was just as dazed as a child by the things he found here.Okay, yes, there was a lot of antique and beautiful stuff, but getting lost among the crowd because of that was not...I gasped and smiled when I suddenly felt her arms wrapped around me from behind."Seriously?"She smiled, kissing away the scowl I had only just managed to plaster on my face."See what I found." She raised up a type of camera that looked really ancient."Wow..." That really dripped with a lot of sarcasm, or at least that was what I planned, but I think

Chapter: Chapter 65Quinn "Oh fuck!" I sighed in relief when I finally saw that she was okay.Phew!You should have seen the way my heart skipped when I got the news that she had been kidnapped from the condo.Like, how the fuck did that happen?Who was even the...I turned to the other guy in the room, raising my own gun to aim when I finally saw who it was. "Matteo?"He tucked the gun he had been holding into his pocket and faced me."Isn't it odd that no one is here?" And there were no dead bodies outside or within.It was almost as if no one else was here except us, and that was weird. If this had been a kidnap mission like he had said, after all, he was the one who had sent me the video of him being kidnapped, then called me to tell me he found her.I raised my eyebrows, immediately becoming suspicious, and raised my gun again.He rolled his eyes, knowing exactly my thought process."You still don't get it, do you?""What?""This is what might happen if you guys keep up with what you've been doing.

Chapter: Chapter 64BellaThings kept going great after that.Days after that.The sex.The glances.This thrilling feeling that came with just being around her.I threw my head back and moaned loudly when her tongue slipped into my pussy, slopping quite loudly."Ahh... Quinn..." It felt so good."Hmm-mm. Feels good, huh?"I nodded, unable to get the words out thanks to her adding another finger to the finger that was already driving me crazy by my clit, and she raised her head up after another mind-blowing orgasm on that same kitchen counter.I smiled and opened my mouth wide to accept her kiss when she raised her head up a moment later.God.So obscene and hot, I loved it.The twirl of her tongue, the salty but sweet taste, she bit on my bottom lip for a second when we finally pulled apart minutes later."God, Matteo is going to kill me, but..."Right, her meeting with that Moretti lady. She had told me about it a few days ago when we decided to come to this condo for privacy.Yes, it was the condo we

Chapter: Chapter 63QuinnWe all got into the car, with Matteo taking the wheel again after we finished with Hastings, and we maintained the silence we had kept on our way here—except for the time I caught Riley staring, or maybe it was the other way round as I had been staring too—till we got home.Both I and Riley got out when he got to the house. Matteo remained inside to drive the car to the garage, and I waited for him to drive away before I caught Riley's hand in mine.She glanced at me for the first time since we left the lawyer's office. Seems like the visit to the lawyer hit her hard all over again.She blinked a number of times. "What?""Come with me.""Huh?"I didn't give her a chance to understand what I was about to do before I was dragging her all the way with me to the back of the house, where I let go of her hand to search through a bunch of thick bushes that had some flowers in them.I turned back for a moment to see her giving me this ridiculous look. At least she wasn't looking so sad

Chapter: Chapter 62BellaThe drive to the office was dead-ass silent. Like I'm talking pin-drop, cemetery-type silence as we all sat huddled in the car, and I smiled at Matteo for the third time when we made eye contact through the car mirror just because I was not willing to get caught fixating on the person beside me.He smiled back again, definitely thinking I'm weird or at least acting weird.I sighed deeply.After the little confession session we had out in the alley the other day, what am I saying, yesterday, I would have expected things to be more expressive between us.You know... those things people in relationships do, but for some reason, we have just been avoiding each other for the most part of today; I couldn't understand why.Okay, I know I'm part of the problem since I'm not making any moves, but at least she should do something, right?Ugh!I fidgeted unconsciously, pissed at all this tension and weirdness.I glanced at Quinn for the hundredth time even though I've kind of convinced mys

Chapter: Chapter 61Bella"Huh?"I kept my hands around her shoulder, unable to move my legs anyway because of how wobbly they were, and I stared up into her eyes once she said that.She stared at me too, quite troubled."I think I might like you too."Okay, not love, but at least we were past the fuck buddy stuff.She pulled away and ran her hand through her hair after a moment of just staring at each other.Like, what do we do now? Have some more sex. Kiss.She nodded towards the club and back at me, "Are you going to... We should go home or..."Right, I had even forgotten I was drunk before and kissing another lady because the thought of being just a fuck buddy to her had irritated me.Now that she had said she liked me, I felt more sober than drunk.I moved away from the wall and stumbled a bit right before gaining my balance."Yeah."I wondered where home was now.The family house?Maybe. After all, it was my father's house but more Quinn's than mine now. I was definitely going to feel out of place.

Chapter: Chapter 163RayaThe day of the wedding arrived, my dress ready, the makeup artist, and the hair stylist in my room to make me the most beautiful bride ever, and I had the support of my best friend and soon-to-be mother-in-law."My God, you look so beautiful," she said when I finally put on the dress, my hair and makeup done, and I scrunched my face, trying not to cry."Thank you.""I'll be the best mother I can be to you, and trust that you can tell me anything and everything."I knew that already considering the time we had spent together before even getting proposed to and the time for me to walk down the aisle finally came, Maxwell's dad meeting by the door where he was to lead me to the aisle because I had asked him to hold my arms.He was going to be the dad I never had, was already even, and I felt myself tearing up as I finally saw my husband-to-be by the pastor at the front of the little audience.I had only invited the closest people to me, which weren't many.

Chapter: Chapter 162RayaI was pregnant.The pregnancy kit test had said so, and I had done it multiple times, my heart dropping even lower as each one confirmed that fact, and now I was going to my best friend's house to tell her."You're pregnant?"She looked happy, but should she? I mean, I wasn't sure I was."Why aren't you happy? This is good news, right?"I shrugged, my panic probably showing in my eyes, and she held my hands. "I mean, what if he doesn't want it?""And why wouldn't he want it?""I... I don't know."She squeezed my hand, drawing back my attention to her, and her face looked fierce. "Don't you dare let your past invade your future again. I thought we were past that."I thought we were too, but the memory of William kicking me and beating me when I first told him I was pregnant wouldn't just get out of my head."I don't know Kendall; I'm scared." She pulled me into her arm, squeezing me tight as I let out my tears, and I sniffed loudly when I was done."So what are you going to do now

Chapter: Chapter 161RayaI couldn't believe this.Maxwell had proposed.Like, yes, I had suspected something was up with the way Kendall kept acting suspicious when she took me to the mall from my workshop, and it had basically to get into a new dress, which she said was for an event she wanted me to accompany her to, but guess what? She wasn't dressed up, so which event?My proposal.The thought made me laugh after we pulled away from the kiss and Maxwell stared into my eyes, "What?""It's just... Did you put Kendall up to that? Getting me to dress up and keeping me away from my house."He chuckled at the realization too, "Uhm... Yeah, I couldn't let you find out that I was proposing until I was ready, and did she do a good job?"I shrugged, "Not bad, but I did suspect something was up.""I know, right?"I stared into his eyes seriously after we stopped chuckling and pulled him even closer to me, "I love you."He smiled, "I love you too.""I love you even more."We kept going until he picked me off the

I sat on the chair in my office, having a Zoom meeting with our manager over in South Korea, and he nodded his head."Going well, it'll be announced during the official campaign of the new collection.""Okay good. Send me a final review when it is ready, okay?""Okay sir"I cut the line and I turned to my secretary, who had been waiting for me to finish."So...""The financial report, sir.""Right. Are they ready for me?""Yes sir""Good"I took the report from her, taking a look at it as we headed to the financial department for our meeting, and I had a meeting with the marketing department before deciding that it was time to clock off work.It'll soon be time for Kyle's football competition, so I had to close early."Maxwell..."

Chapter: Chapter 159RayaIt was no surprise to both me and Maxwell when Diane finally got admitted into a mental hospital two years later after injuring her supposed best friend, Tyla, whose relationship she had also scattered, and the world seemed confused by that.Not so much me and Maxwell though, even though it was quite crazy considering how normal she looked.Like, who would have thought she was an unhinged person with issues?Anyway, I made progress in my school, ignoring the scandals and all that always seemed to involve me and my boyfriend, and when I was finally done with it, like, can you imagine, I was finally a graduate in fashion designing, my son and boyfriend were there with me to support me.I walked onto that stage with pride to receive my certificate, and the sight of my son and boyfriend cheering me up in the crowd made me tear up.We took photos when we were out, and my son took photos of me and Maxwell while he carried me into the air.It felt so surreal.Kyle wasn't a little boy ei

Chapter: Chapter 158RayaI couldn't concentrate on anything due to the recent happenings, and I still hadn't heard from Maxwell.It was disheartening.He must be annoyed that I had slept with another person even though I had been drugged, right?I too was jealous about him and Tyla, but the whole matter had died down just as quickly as it had risen up. The people had found something else to talk about.As for me, I hadn't moved on because I was the one involved and the other person involved still hadn't called me.He wasn't picking up his calls either, and his friend had no idea where he had gone.So I got into my car the next day to go back to his house. I'll stop on the way to see Kyle at the family house, then maybe I'll have some more strength to face all this because if I said I wasn't discouraged, I would be lying.Kyle was happy to see me as well as Maxwell's parents, though they had seen the news, so I had to explain everything to them.Maxwell's father seemed to be doing better, maybe because he

Chapter: Chapter 19Dominic Just after a month of Juliette apparently getting admitted into a mental facility and then being announced dead due to suicide, guess who became the major shareholder of Winchester Properties.Yes, you guessed right.James Wright, her husband.The one person I really didn't want to associate with after my knowledge of everything he had done."Mr. Cole." I put on a smile anyway and shook his hand the next day after he was made the major shareholder and chairperson in Winchester Properties, looking like the grieving father and husband he apparently was.God, I was fuming, but ..."Mr. Wright." I maintained my smile and led him to the seat opposite my desk in the office after I pulled my hand away from his."So how are you doing?" He asked."Good, I guess, and you?""Well, as good as anyone who is still grieving the death of his wife." I smiled tightly and picked up a document to hide the scowl in them. I couldn't really hide after sitting down behind my desk."So... You said y

Chapter: Chapter 18JuliettePresent day,God, it was cold.The air, my bones, and the thin top that was barely wrapped around my frame—it felt as if the cold was seeping slowly into my skin, then bones, like a nightmare of a drug."F-f-fu-c-ck." I wrapped my arms around myself and tried to stop the intense trembling of my teeth.I shouldn't dwell on that though—the cold. I had more important things to do, like looking for her. Olivia.I moved forward through the woods and tried to listen to her voice that I had heard about a minute ago.It was faint, but I had heard it distinctly—the desperate feel and the fear in it."Mum..."I whipped my head around and tried to wade through the darkness again."Mum...""Mia!""Mum!""Ethan!"My God, where were they?I couldn't see through the darkness, and the thorns weren't making it easy to wade through the forest."Mum!" I heard it again, but this time, very close to me and sharper. I turned around only for something to grab me and drag me down into an abyss of

Chapter: Chapter 17Juliette Five years ago,His smile.Or should I say nervous smile.That was the first thing I had noticed in the tall—but not intimidatingly tall—dude when he handed me a napkin a few minutes after spilling his drink on me in front of everyone in the main hall.It had been an accident, obviously, but that doesn't excuse the fact that he had just caused a scene and embarrassed me at such an important event.Ugh, I couldn't believe it.I collected the napkin and turned away from his sorry face to clean myself, dabbing aggressively at the large stain on my white dress."I'm sorry. I didn't mean...""Of course I know you didn't mean it; you already said it like a million times, so you can go.""I...""This is the female restroom. In case you haven't noticed.""Oh."He glanced around the place like he was just realizing where he had followed me into, and he stepped away, flustered."Uhm...

Friends as kids, or was it just the relationship between your parents that brought you guys together? The nerdy kid and popular girl, it must have been tough hiding your crush from everyone."Fuck! He was—he did do his research, didn't he?How did he even—I flinched and glanced down at the glass in my hand when he proceeded to pour out another glass of whiskey for me.What...I didn't even realize I had finished the first drink."What are you doing? Why are you doing all this?" He raised an eyebrow as I slid the now-filled glass of whiskey away from me. I just didn't like this feeling at all, the way things were going."What?""This—

Chapter: Chapter 15DominicI put on my jacket later that evening as Luke went through the information I had gotten from Jude beside me in my bedroom yet again. I collected the tablet from him and dumped it on the bed."Staring intently at the information won't give you a more dangerous reason why I shouldn't go alone. It's already dangerous enough, and I'm still going.""But at least let me go with you.""And let your mother kill me?""We'll probably both be dead, so it wouldn't matter."I smiled slightly and placed the black cap I had worn the other day on my head again. "Just sit tight and wait here. Putting both of us at risk doesn't make sense; besides, I need someone to be here to take over if things do go sideways.""I..."I looked away from the mirror against the wall and gave him a look.

Chapter: Chapter 14Dominic "Wife of Winchester Properties CEO, Mrs. Juliette Winchester-Wright, announced dead one week after admission into a mental institute. Sources say..." Shit! Shit!! Shit!!! I couldn't believe him. Really? He announced her dead?! Did he do that as a part of his strategy or because he didn't know what had happened at the facility? I mean, something could have happened to make him clueless, but I wasn't sure about that. Luke adjusted himself beside me in my study and waited for me to say something. I really had nothing to say, to be honest. Her best friend knew nothing about her whereabouts, I knew nothing about her whereabouts, and she was still nowhere to be found, meaning she could as well be dead. Arghhh!! I ran my hand through my hair and sat back down behind my desk. What do we do now? Well, I did have an idea of what I wanted to do, but I needed a plan. One strategic plan that isn't going to end in a dead end. Ah! I sat up in my seat and tu
