The Valisteen Princess
Mia Valisteen was thrust into a dangerous world when her mother married Ray Valisteen, a feared Mafia lord. At just fourteen, she learned to navigate the treacherous life of the Mafia Princess, her every move watched and exploited by her stepfather’s enemies.
On her eighteenth birthday, Mia was kidnapped by Dylan Griffin, known as “The Devil,” who sought revenge against her stepfather for a betrayal that destroyed his family. But Mia proved resilient, escaping Dylan’s clutches and disappearing into the shadows of Italy.
Four years later, Mia has become a legend in her own right—a powerful Mafia boss feared by all. But her past catches up to her when her best friend, Mimi, is kidnapped by none other than Dylan. Forced to face the man who shattered her life, Mia is dragged into a dangerous game where love and hate blur, and loyalty is tested at every turn.
Dylan’s obsession with Mia becomes his greatest weakness. As their worlds collide, Mia and Dylan must decide whether they’ll destroy each other—or unite to bring down those who betrayed them both.

Chapter: Chapter 70: Silent PactsChapter 70: Silent PactsThe faint blue light from the laptop screen flickered across my face, casting shadows along the cracked walls of my room. Mimi sat beside me, legs crossed, clutching the edge of her oversized sweater like it would somehow shield her from the conversation we were about to have.Victor's face appeared on the screen, his dark eyes heavy with exhaustion. The scar running down his temple looked deeper under the dim lighting—like the weight of the clan had carved itself into his skin."Mia." His gruff voice filled the small space. "Mimi.""Victor." I nodded, keeping my expression neutral.Mimi mumbled a small greeting, eyes flicking between the screen and her fingers knotted together on her lap.I leaned forward, elbows resting on my knees."How is everyone?"The silence that followed was answer enough.Victor's jaw tightened, his gaze dropping for half a second before he forced himself to meet my eyes again."Not good."I swallowed hard.I already knew that. I just

Chapter: Chapter 69: Unseen Battles. Chapter 69: Unseen BattlesThe training room was quieter than usual, the faint creak of leather dummies and the rhythmic thud of fists against sandbags filling the air. Only Mimi and I were here—exactly how I preferred it.No prying eyes. No whispered threats. Just the steady repetition of punches and the burn of tired muscles.I adjusted the wraps on my knuckles, the rough fabric biting into my skin. Across from me, Mimi was trying—and failing—to keep her form steady. Her small fists landed weakly against the worn-out dummy, frustration flickering in her brown eyes.“Breathe,” I reminded her softly. “You’re stiff.”Mimi exhaled sharply, setting her jaw as she struck again—slightly better, but not enough.It would take time. I knew that. But time wasn’t something we could afford in this place.The door creaked open behind us, breaking the fragile stillness. Instinct tightened my spine, muscles coiling beneath my skin as I shot a glance over my shoulder.Jared.I forced myself to relax

Chapter: Chapter 68: Unwelcome Guest. Chapter 68: Unwelcome Guest(Celeste’s POV)Mia should not be here.She should have left the moment she was strong enough to walk again. Yet here she was, still lingering in our clan like a parasite, acting as if she belonged. And worse—Dylan was letting her.I watched from across the training grounds as he stood beside her, his usual guarded expression softer than I had ever seen. His posture was relaxed, his words directed only at her, and for a brief, infuriating second, she smiled at something he said.I clenched my fists so hard my nails dug into my palms.Dylan was mine.I had stood beside him long before she was ever a thought in his world. I had earned my place in this clan, bled for it, fought for it. And she? She was an outsider who had done nothing but take. Dylan had saved her. Fed her. Protected her. And she had the audacity to act like she deserved any of it.No. If she thought she could stay here without consequences, she was dead wrong.I turned on my heel, heading str

Chapter: Chapter 67: Almost NormalChapter 67: Almost NormalI wasn’t used to stillness.For weeks, my body had been a battlefield—pain, exhaustion, frustration all warring inside me. But now, I could move. I could walk without someone hovering over me, sit up without feeling like my ribs would crack in half. I still wasn’t at full strength, but at least I could do things on my own. And that alone made all the difference.I was done being treated like I was fragile.Which was why I was currently sitting in Dylan’s dining hall, surrounded by his clan members, pretending like I belonged here.Spoiler alert: I didn’t.The dining hall was lively—filled with the scent of roasted meat, fresh bread, and something rich and spiced I couldn’t quite place. It should have been warm, welcoming. But instead, the tension clung to the air like smoke, thick and suffocating.Conversations were happening, but none of them included me. People exchanged words in low voices, their gazes flicking toward me every now and then before snapping

Chapter: Chapter 66: A Slightly Less Annoying Bastard. Chapter 66: A Slightly Less Annoying BastardLiam was an insufferable, arrogant, pain-in-the-ass bastard.That much had always been a fact, a universal truth I held onto like a lifeline.Which is why the fact that I was looking at him differently right now was making me extremely uncomfortable.I didn’t know when it happened. Maybe it was when he pulled me out of the river. Or maybe it was before that—when he shoved me out of the way and took the hit meant for me. Or maybe—just maybe—it was when I caught him gritting his teeth through the pain, brushing it off like it was nothing, like he hadn’t just been stabbed trying to keep me from getting hurt.Either way, the damage was done.And I hated it.Hated that my brain was now trying to rewrite everything I knew about him.Hated that I was sitting beside him now, pressing a cloth to the wound on his side, instead of making fun of him for getting hurt in the first place.Hated that, for the first time since I met him, I wasn’t looking at

Chapter: Chapter 65: Shocking Truth. Chapter 65: Shocking Truth. I shifted under the blanket, trying to find the right words, but before I could speak, there was a knock at the door.Dylan’s expression darkened immediately. He stood, his movements fluid and controlled, and crossed the room in three long strides. When he pulled the door open, a familiar voice filled the space.“Well, you look like absolute shit,” Liam said casually, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation.“You look dead." Dylan replied bluntly. I blinked.Mimi was on his shoulders like a sack of potatoes.Correction: one hand was gripping his hair like reins, her expression a mix of triumph and mild disappointment, like she hadn’t yet decided if she was going to spare his life or not.“Let go of my hair, gremlin,” Liam grumbled. “Your best friend's awake." Liam sighed through his nose, clearly regretting every decision that led him here. “You said you wanted to see Mia. You saw her. Now get down.”Mimi huffed but released him, sliding down h
