BOUND BY VENGEANCE 'CLAIMED BY THE MAFIA'
David, you returned thinking you could fix everything, but your words froze me to my core. You said I ruined everything that should have been perfect. I begged you to live—for our unborn child—but the woman you held wasn’t me. It was Kate, my fake sister who’d stolen everything from me for twenty years.
Abducted at 10, I fought through unspeakable hardships to find my family, only to be despised by them. I watched Kate take my wealth, my parents' love, and even my husband. She told me to disappear, and I was cast away in darkness.
Bruised, tortured, and broken, I waited for the end. But I opened my eyes to a hospital room, with a pregnancy test report on the table, dated the day before my death. I was reborn.
Given a second chance, I vowed never to repeat the mistakes of my past. I’d leave this toxic family, this horrible marriage, and give up everything for my baby’s future. But then you came, David—begging me to come back with tears in your eyes. Could I return to you after everything?
Then came Ronan Darkwood, a mafia don with power, wealth, and a deadly reputation. He claimed me as his own. In his world, I found strength, love, and protection from the horrors of my past.
As I fell for him, I realized that everything I thought I knew about love and family was wrong. I have a second chance, and I won’t waste it.
Will I break free from my past and embrace a future with Ronan, or will the chains of betrayal tear it all apart?

Chapter: Chapter 30: A New DawnThe morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow across the room. I stirred in bed, the warmth of the blankets cocooning me as I slowly woke up.

Chapter: Chapter 29: The RebirthThe days blurred together in the aftermath of my decision to sever all ties with my past. Each moment felt both heavy and free as if I was walking in a dream, unsure of what was real and what was the echo of everything I had left behind. But one thing was certain: I was no longer a prisoner of my history.Ronan and I had settled into a rhythm of rebuilding, slowly but surely. We didn’t rush into anything; we let the pieces fall into place at their own pace. It wasn’t about erasing the past—it was about creating something new, something solid that would be ours, free from the weight of old ghosts.But I couldn’t ignore the nagging feeling that something was still unfinished. The world around me had shifted, and I had shifted with it, but there were still lingering scars I hadn’t yet addressed.

Chapter: Chapter 28: The Path ForwardThe days following my confrontation with my parents and Kate felt like a blur. It was as though I had stepped into a new world, one where the rules were different and I held the power to shape my destiny. There was no more manipulation, no more lies, no more living in the shadow of people who only saw me as a tool for their gain. I was finally free, but freedom came with its own set of challenges.As the sun rose each morning, I found myself standing at the edge of a new life, wondering where it would take me. The past still lingered, the wounds still raw, but I refused to let it define me any longer. I had spent too many years as a victim, too many years allowing others to control my fate. It was time to take control, to carve out a future that was mine, and mine alone.I had Ronan by my side, and that brought me a sense of peace I hadn’t known in years. He was my anchor in the storm, my constant reminder that I wasn’t alone in this. His unwavering support, his belief in me—it gave m

Chapter: Chapter 27: Reclaiming My PowerI stood there, my body still buzzing with the aftermath of everything that had just happened. The room was quiet now, save for the slow, steady breaths I took to steady myself. Kate had been escorted out, her attempts at defiance crumbling under Ronan’s unwavering presence. My parents... they still stood frozen, caught between guilt and the bitter realization that they had lost the control they had once held over me.I felt a rush of emotions, too many to sort through at once. There was relief, yes, a sense of freedom that I hadn’t known I was capable of feeling. But there was also anger, an unrelenting fury that still simmered within me. For too long, I had been their puppet, their victim. And while the battle might have been won, the war was far from over. The scars of my past would take time to heal, but I had no intention of allowing them to haunt me any longer."Are you alright?" Ronan’s voice broke through my thoughts, his hand gently resting on my arm. His touch grounded me, re

Chapter: Chapter 26: Breaking the ChainsThe weight of the moment hung in the air, thick and suffocating. As I stood before my parents, Kate, and David, I felt a fire within me burn brighter than ever before. I had been their pawn and victim for years, but no more. Today, I would no longer allow them to control me, to dictate the course of my life.The room was tense, everyone waiting for someone else to speak and make the next move. My parents’ eyes flickered between Ronan and me, their faces a mixture of guilt and defiance. They knew what was coming. Kate stood beside them, her arms crossed, a mocking smile still on her lips as if nothing could faze her.David... I could barely bring myself to look at him. The man who had once been my husband, the man who had sworn to love and protect me, had thrown it all away in pursuit of greed, power, and a life with Kate. He had betrayed me in the worst way possible, and no apology would ever be enough."You don’t deserve my forgiveness," I said, my voice steady and cold, cutting thro

Chapter: Chapter 25: The ReckoningThe morning air was crisp, and the city felt strangely quiet as I stood by the window, looking out over the skyline. The penthouse was still and calm, a stark contrast to the storm raging inside me. The plan was set into motion, and I could feel the tension in every inch of my being. Today would change everything. I knew that with every fiber of my body.Ronan had been preparing for this moment for weeks, and now it was time to act. The details were all in place: the meeting with my parents, with Kate, with David. It would all come to a head today. The moment I had dreamed of and feared in equal measure.I wasn’t the same person I had been when I was forced to live through the hell of my past life. I had been broken, crushed under the weight of their betrayal. But now? I was stronger. I had fought too hard and survived too much to let them destroy me again.A knock at the door broke me from my thoughts, and I turned, my heart beating a little faster. "Come in," I called.The door open
