I sat there, my legs trembling as my heart raced from the chaos of the past few hours. The mere thought of Vincent had me angry.

My eyes were fixed on the floor, the fabric of my wedding dress pooling around me like an illusion of the happiness I had tried to create.

I looked up to Dominic,his expression a mix of relief and pain.

He reached out to me slowly, reaching out for my hands. His touch was gentle, almost reverent, as if he couldn’t believe I was real.

“He’ll pay,” he said, his voice firm, yet laced with emotion. His eyes burned with a fire I hadn’t seen in a long time. “I know how he’ll pay, but for now…” He smiled faintly and squeezed my hands. “For now, let’s rejoice. I’m just so happy to have you back.”he said as he gave me a small smile, which i returned.

I blinked, unsure of how to respond. He moved closer, his fingers brushing a stray lock of hair from my face. I could see Leo had closed his eyes asleep already in his arms.

The intimate gesture startled me, and I let

    The plane touched down smoothly, and I shifted Leo slightly in my arms, careful not to disturb his peaceful sleep. His small, warm body was pressed against mine, his tiny breaths soft against my shoulder. I cradled him closer, shielding him instinctively from the cool breeze that filtered in as the plane door opened. I didn’t want him to wake; he’d barely slept during the flight.The flight attendant, the same one who’d been so kind earlier, held the small bag I’d carried on. She offered a sympathetic smile. “Here you go,” she said softly, handing it to me as we walked down the stairs to the waiting car. “Have a safe trip.”“Thank you,” I murmured, my voice just as quiet. With Leo asleep, every sound felt amplified. A sleek black SUV waited at the base of the stairs, the driver stepping forward to open the door for me. I climbed in carefully, still holding Leo close. Once settled, the car eased away from the tarmac. The hum of the engine was soothing, but my mind was far from cal

    Elena hesitated, her hands clasped nervously in front of her. “It’s… the portrait from the wedding, ma’am.” “I *know* what it is!” Camilla snapped. “I want it gone. Take it down. Now!” Elena looked flustered. “I’m sorry, ma’am, but we would need the Don’s permission to—” “Come here maid, " she called Elena, who stepped forward.A loud crack resonated through the foyer as Camilla struck Elena across the face. “I am the wife of the don, the one and only wife; no one else matters here except for me. Can you believe that on my very first day in my marital home, I have to see not just a picture of my husband but also one of him with his ex-wife?” she shouted dramatically. “Don’t you dare treat her like that!” I retorted, my voice shaking with anger. Camilla shifted her glare toward me, her eyes narrowing dangerously. “What did you just say to me?” she spat, stepping closer. “I said don’t you dare hit another person like that,” I replied, my voice now steady. Her gaze flic

    Home was a word that brought comfort to everyone. It was a place where everyone felt they belonged, but I found myself questioning where I truly fit in. I knew Dominic wanted me here, but with Camila around, it became challenging. I tried my best to avoid her by staying in my room, but somehow that felt impossible. She had taken on the role of the lady of the house, which I didn’t mind at first, but when she started taking my food, baby supplies, and entertainment, it crossed a line. A week had gone by since my arrival, and things seemed to have returned to normal. I hardly saw Dominic; he was working tirelessly to fix the mess left by the mafia. It appeared that Vincent had caused significant damage, and it was up to Dominic to rectify it. He wasn’t always available, and to make matters worse, he had no assistant. Aiden was the only person he trusted, and he couldn’t bring himself to replace him.Today, I was going to see Lily. Ever since that time in Russia, I had struggled to face

    She remained still, her body unresponsive to my embrace. I pulled back to look at her face. Her eyes were sunken, her cheeks hollow. “Please, Lily,” I pleaded. “I don’t want to see you like this.” Finally, she blinked, her gaze shifting to meet mine. Her lips parted, and her voice came out in a broken whisper. “He was all I had.”she whispered and I nodded, of course i had known that Aiden was her family. Grief hit me like a tidal wave. Lily’s voice trembled as she continued. “After our parents died, I told him we should leave. The mafia was too dangerous. But he wouldn’t listen. He was too loyal to Dominic—too loyal to leave his side.” Her words were laced with bitterness. “So I left. I rented a little house, small enough for me to manage on my own. This mansion was too big, too empty. And now he’s gone. I’m alone.” Her voice cracked, and she buried her face in her hands. I wrapped my arms around her again, holding her tightly. “Elena!” I called out. Elena appeared in t

    Clarissa POV.It was the day of the funeral, set to be held at Lily's home. I had stayed over at her place until this somber day, only returning home briefly to prepare. She was in a state of turmoil, unable to eat or sleep, consumed by thoughts of how she intended to confront Vincent. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, and I turned to see Dominic entering the room. I glanced at him; I was wearing a black dress with my hair pulled up in a bun, while he was clad entirely in black. The stress in his eyes was evident. I walked up to him, and without saying a word, I enveloped him in a hug, and he embraced me tightly.“It’s okay,” I whispered softly.“I missed you,” he replied, and I smiled at him, placing my hands on his cheeks as he held my waist. “I missed you more,” I said, and he leaned in, capturing my lips in a kiss. I returned the kiss, feeling his grip tighten around me, as if he never wanted to let go, and I secretly wished he wouldn’t. “How I wish we could stay here, a

    I pulled up in front of Dominic’s gate, my hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. My heart was hammering in my chest as I glanced at the dashboard clock. How long has it been? An hour? Two? I couldn’t think straight. All I knew was she’d left home and I knew so well she was coming here. A million worst-case scenarios raced through my mind. I prayed I wasn’t too late. The gate creaked open as soon as the guards saw it was me. Without hesitation, I drove in fast, tires screeching slightly as I swerved into the garage. Throwing the car into park, I jumped out and barked at one of the men standing nearby. “Wake the boss! We have a breach!” My voice was sharper than I intended, but I didn’t care. The man nodded and turned to leave, but before he could take a step, the sound of gunfire shattered the tense silence. My stomach dropped. Two gunshots. My body froze for a split second, but then instinct kicked in, and I bolted toward the entrance to the u

    Vincent moved with calculated precision the moment the gun went off in his hand. His body slipped into the darkness, quick and silent, as the sound of footsteps thundered down the hall. He pressed himself against the cold stonewall of the cells corridor, eyes sharp, watching as Dominic and his men sprinted past him, guns drawn and rage palpable in the air. The chaos his gunshot had caused was his opening, and he wasn’t about to waste it. Yet he knew this place like the back of his hand. He’d grown up within these walls, surrounded by secrets, blood, and betrayal. He understood the mansion’s defenses better than anyone. The guards, the locks, the escape routes,Dominic had fortified it over the years, making it nearly impenetrable. Escaping unnoticed would be impossible. But Vincent didn’t plan to slip out the gate unnoticed. He smirked to himself, the gun still warm in his grip. If he couldn’t run, he’d make himself a problem Dominic couldn’t ignore. He moved through the shadows

She had been a wonderful sister, even though I had pushed her away time and again.We began to rebuild, and new laws were established within the mafia.

    Dominic squeezed the trigger, and the silencer did an excellent job of concealing the sound, preventing the men from realizing that their leader had been shot.For a brief moment, I feared he had killed her—that Valentina was lifeless. However, as she fell to the ground, clutching her shoulder, it became clear that he hadn’t delivered a fatal shot. He had only wounded her, just enough to ensure her survival but render her unable to defend herself.Initially, I thought his plan was foolish, but I placed my trust in him. He had used her to help us escape, a feat that had seemed impossible just moments ago. I had nearly lost hope of ever being alive or seeing my son again, but he made it a reality.We were finally safe.Dominic approached me, his dark eyes searching my face before he enveloped us both in his strong, steady embrace. It felt secure. I took a deep breath, burying my face in his chest.It was finally over."You can go now," he whispered, pressing his lips gently against my f

    After my confrontation with both of them, theydraged me toward a van. My head throbbed, and my vision was blurry, but I could still make out the figures around me. Someone yanked the gun from my grasp as I was shoved into an SUV. Vincent drove, and Camila sat beside me. The sight of her still wearing Clarissa’s dress pissed me off. It was like she was mocking me—mocking us. No one spoke. The air was thick with tension, but I could feel Vincent’s anger radiating off him. I knew exactly why. The words I had said to him earlier still lingered in his mind, cutting deep. As for Camila, she was so rattled that she casually dropped the gun on the seat beside her and turned to stare out the window. It was a careless mistake, and I took full advantage of it. Swiftly, without drawing attention, I palmed the gun. By the time we arrived at the warehouse, my mind was sharp, my pulse steady. As soon as the SUV came to a stop, I opened the door and stepped out. Camila followed, but before

    The air grew heavy with tension. My heart pounded as the door swung open again, and Dominic stepped inside. His dark eyes scanned the room, landing on me. Something flashed in his gaze—anger, concern, relief. He looked like a man ready to burn the world down for me. Would he?“mother, “valntina called, as she walked over to her and whispered in her ears.“Where the fuck is my son?”dominic asked the them , as hey turned to look at him.“camila , bring the boy to his parent”she ordered, camillla who walked out the door shuting it.But I knew what Valentina was about to do. She would make him choose. Me or his empire. Valentina clapped her hands together. "Ah, Dominic. So good of you to join us." "Cut the bullshit, Valentina." His voice was low, dangerous. "Let her go, and bring my son , i dont have tie for games" She smirked, taking a step toward him. "Now, why would I do that? You walked right into my trap, just as I knew you would." Dominic’s jaw tightened. His entire

    My wrists ached from the tight bonds cutting into my skin. My eyes were blindfolded, leaving me in a world of darkness. But I wasn’t alone. There was someone in front of me—singing. A soft, haunting tune. The voice was feminine, sultry, and laced with amusement. I knew it wa sher singing , tauting me.I shifted slightly, testing my restraints. Rope. Tight. No way out. My pulse pounded as I forced myself to breathe evenly. Panicking wouldn’t help me now. "You know," Valentina said, her voice smooth as silk, "I once loved a man."she started. My body stiffened. "I loved him so much, but then I realized men are shit, one moment they love ou and the next the cheat on ou with another woman" She chuckled, a dark, humorless sound. "People are shit." My jaw clenched. I didn’t respond. "I grew to become the only Donna in my county—a female one. And to hold power, I had to be ruthless. There was no room for softness, no space for love." The blindfold was suddenly ripped from my face

    Dominic POVI stared at Vincent, whose eyes gleamed with unrestrained greed. He wanted the empire I held—no, he craved it. It wasn’t just about power; it was about proving he was better than me, that he could tear down everything I built and reshape it in his image. I smirked. “This is your idea, isn’t it? This power struggle?” My voice carried amusement, but beneath it lay a sharp edge. Vincent frowned, his lips pressing into a tight line. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he snapped, his tone impatient, defensive. I stepped closer, my gaze never leaving his. “You held the empire for a week—just a week, Vincent—and in that time, everything our family worked so hard to build collapsed.” I let the words sink in, watching the flicker of irritation in his expression. “Now you want it again? To destroy everything and hand it over to these foreigners? Do you really think they’ll let you rule? No, Vincent, they’ll make you their puppet, and you’ll be dancing to their tune fo

    Dominic POVI drove like a madman. The engine roared beneath my grip as I pushed the car to its limits, weaving through traffic without care for rules or consequences. My men followed close behind, their headlights flashing in the rearview mirror as they ignored every law in existence just to keep up. I didn't care about the chaos we left behind. The only thing that mattered was her. My hands tightened on the steering wheel, my knuckles turning white. The thought of something happening to her, of losing her forever, made my chest tighten with unbearable fear. I had made a deal with that Mexican witch to take Ivan down, to regain the power that had been stripped from me—but now, the cost was staring me in the face. I should have known it wouldn’t be that simple. But i was deperate , deperate to have her as mine.The mansion came into view, its towering structure bathed in the cold moonlight. No matter how amy times i came here, i could still feel the gripp in my heart, whati

    I stood there, frozen. My breath hitched in my throat, my body locked in place as fear coursed through my veins. The world around me seemed to blur, the sounds distant and muffled, as if I had been submerged underwater. Panic tightened around my chest, squeezing the air from my lungs. "Miss, we need to go!" Elise’s urgent voice cut through the fog of my fear. I snapped back to reality, my wide eyes meeting hers. She was staring at me, her expression filled with alarm. "Now!" she urged, grabbing my wrist. I turned on my heel and ran, my heart pounding against my ribs. Panic took over, and my mind swirled with the worst possibilities. The thought that Harper had been killed, that she was gone, clawed at my sanity. She had been my enemy once, but despite everything, I loved her. No matter what had happened between us, losing her wasn’t something I could bear. Tears blurred my vision as I stepped outside, the cool air hitting my damp face. But I didn’t get far. I stopped dead.
