Chapter 14

The room was warm, bathed in soft golden light, and it smelled faintly of lavender, like a comfort she hadn’t known in what felt like forever. Izzy’s eyes immediately locked onto the small figure sitting near the window, her back to the door. Maya. Her daughter.

Izzy’s heart skipped a beat, a flood of emotion rushing through her chest. Maya was here, alive, and so much more beautiful than Izzy had imagined in the months of separation. Her dark hair fell in soft waves over her small shoulders, and her little hands were gripping a stuffed animal tightly. She looked healthy, which was the first relief Izzy had felt in days.

“Maya,” Izzy whispered, stepping forward, her voice trembling with the weight of all the emotions she'd tried so hard to bury.

The child turned slowly, her eyes wide as she saw her mother standing in the doorway. For a moment, Maya looked confused, unsure. Then, her face lit up like the sun breaking through the clouds, and she jumped to her feet.

    Chapter 15 Dante POV Dante leaned against the doorframe, his arms crossed, watching Izzy with their daughter, the scene before him almost suffocating in its tenderness. It didn’t make sense. This wasn’t supposed to happen. He had never imagined he’d be back here, in this strange, broken place, feeling anything close to guilt or affection for anyone. Certainly not for her—and not for a child that was the product of his own mistakes. But Maya… Dante’s gaze shifted to the little girl in Izzy’s arms, the one he had been so determined to keep away from his life. His daughter, though the thought didn’t come easily. He had always known about Maya’s condition, the congenital heart defect that had haunted his family for years. He’d always pushed it to the back of his mind, too consumed with his own world of power, control, and vengeance to focus on anything like a child’s health. He had ignored it. Until now. The truth gnawed at him, jagged and uncomfortable. He couldn’t ignore it anymor

    Chapter 16 Dante sat in his study, the heavy oak desk before him a barrier between his thoughts and the world outside. The mansion was eerily quiet, the silence pressing in on him from all sides. He had always been comfortable in silence—comfortable in control—but tonight, the quiet felt suffocating. His mind raced, the same thoughts circling over and over again. Maya. His daughter. She was sick—fading before his eyes—and there was nothing he could do except stand by and watch as the clock ticked down. He gripped the edge of the desk, his knuckles turning white with the tension that had coiled inside him. His heart was racing, but it wasn’t out of fear for his own life. No, Dante wasn’t afraid of death. But the thought of losing her—his daughter, his flesh and blood—was the one thing that terrified him more than anything else. He had power. More than anyone could ever imagine. He ruled an empire built on fear, violence, and money. He was the Mafia boss, feared and respected in eve

    Chapter 17 The drive to the hospital was silent. Dante sat in the back of his black SUV, his fingers tapping a restless rhythm on the leather seat, his mind running through the possible scenarios in rapid succession. His gaze was fixed on the darkened streets outside, the city lights flickering like dying stars. His thoughts were far from the quiet night; they were focused on his daughter, on Maya. Izzy sat beside him, her hands folded in her lap, her gaze fixed ahead. There was tension between them, a thick, unspoken barrier of distrust, but there was also something else—something fragile. They had both agreed, in their own ways, that today wasn’t about them. It was about Maya. Dante could feel Izzy's nervousness beside him, her tension radiating off her, but he didn’t address it. The hospital wasn’t the place for conversation. It wasn’t the place for weakness. His mind stayed locked on Maya. He hadn’t been able to shake the image of her small frame in that room earlier, sitting

    Chapter 18 The sterile hum of the hospital seemed to fade into the background as Izzy walked alongside Dante through the hospital's hallways, her mind focused on one thing: Maya’s medical bills. She had been silent for most of the ride here, not wanting to voice her worries, but now, with Maya in surgery, she couldn’t ignore the reality any longer. The bills were piling up faster than she could ever afford to pay. It wasn’t just the cost of the surgery. It was the aftercare, the specialists, the constant monitoring—Maya needed care for the long term, and there was no way Izzy could cover all of it on her own. Not in her current situation. Izzy had thought about it for hours, sitting in the waiting room while Maya was being prepared for surgery. Dante might be a mafia boss, a man with more power and resources than she could count, but one thing was certain—he controlled everything. Including the money that could save Maya’s life. And right now, Izzy needed that money. She needed a

    Chapter 19 The silence that filled the hospital corridor was almost deafening. Izzy stood next to Dante, her hands clasped tightly in front of her, the weight of his words settling heavily over her like a shroud. "For now, you need to take care of Maya until she’s okay." Dante’s voice was low, commanding. There was no room for disagreement, no hesitation in his tone. He wasn’t asking—he was telling her what needed to be done. Izzy swallowed hard, her mind racing. Take care of Maya? Of course, that’s what she’d been doing all along. But now... now it felt different. She wasn’t just a mother desperate to protect her child anymore. Now she was part of Dante’s world again, drawn into his orbit with a job, a role, a responsibility that she wasn’t sure she was prepared for. But there was no time to think about that. Maya was in surgery, and every minute that passed felt like an eternity. Every moment in this sterile, quiet hospital felt like the calm before the storm. Dante glanced at

    Chapter 20 The hospital room was quiet, save for the rhythmic beep of the heart monitor beside Maya's bed. Izzy sat at her daughter’s side, her fingers gently stroking Maya’s hair, her thoughts lost in a haze of worry and exhaustion. The sterile smell of antiseptic and the soft murmur of nurses outside the room felt almost surreal, as if the world outside this sterile hospital bubble didn’t exist. But then, the sharp buzz of Dante’s phone shattered the fragile calm. He had been sitting in a chair just outside the room, his posture rigid, his eyes occasionally flicking toward Izzy as if checking to make sure she was still there. His entire demeanor had shifted after he’d made his commands about Maya’s care, though he rarely spoke of his daughter’s condition. He let his actions speak for him. Dante’s phone vibrated again, more insistently this time. Without taking his eyes off the door, he pulled the phone from his pocket and answered. "Talk to me," he said, his voice low, almost t

    Chapter 21 Izzy’s pulse raced as the man’s grip tightened on her shoulder, pulling her back into the room with brutal force. Panic surged through her chest. She wasn’t just being dragged into some unknown place—this was something far worse. Dante had warned her: don’t let anything happen to Maya. But now, she was in the crosshairs, and the safety of her daughter seemed more uncertain with each passing second. As the man’s grip threatened to crush her, Izzy swung her body to the side, throwing her elbow back in a desperate bid to break free. But her attacker was too quick, too strong. He slammed her into the wall with a force that rattled her teeth, the wind knocked out of her. The world spun around her, the edges of her vision blurring as the pain shot through her skull. The cold, empty silence of the hospital seemed to mock her, amplifying the dread creeping into her chest. The sterile white walls, the clean, sharp corners, all felt suffocating now—like a trap closing in on her.

    Chapter 22 Izzy’s heart pounded in her chest as she stumbled alongside Dante, her body still shaking from the encounter. The adrenaline was wearing off, and the cold reality of what had just happened was starting to sink in. She couldn’t breathe. The fear, the panic—it felt suffocating. She needed answers, needed to understand what was happening before the ground beneath her completely gave way. Dante moved swiftly, his every step deliberate, his expression hard and focused, like a man who had long since accepted that danger and violence were simply part of the world he controlled. He didn’t look at her as they walked down the quiet, dimly lit hallway of the hospital. His eyes were locked straight ahead, his jaw set in a way that told her he was calculating his next move, planning how to neutralize any threats that dared cross him. Izzy, though, couldn’t focus on anything but the question that burned in her mind. The man who had attacked her, who had tried to drag her out of the ho

She said I’m good at coloring.”Sebastian added, “And I told her I’m going to be just as smart as my big sister someday!”Dante, driving, chuckled at his son’s declaration. “That’s a pretty high bar, little man,” he said, glancing at Maya in the rearview mirror. “Your sister’s already way ahead of the game.”Maya blushed slightly, but her grin widened. “Well, I can help you, Seb.
