Zoey p.o.v “Ah… And then the surprise look on her face.” His tone was taunting, but he was right. I was thrown off guard by his appearance, he doesn’t seem like he belonged to the mafia world. Definitely not. “You must be expecting a rugged man, yes.” He smirked. “My darling, this here is Roman Vladimir. Those that ring a bell?” He introduced himself, whilst directing the last sentence to my mom in law. His eyes held resentment, and full of vengeance. And from the shock look from mom’s face, the name does ring a bell. Her eyes went wide, and she seemed like air has be knocked off her lungs. She stares at him like she just saw a ghost, and slightly shaking her head in denial. Ok….. I’m lost here. I know Marco told me who this man is, I mean just his name and his intentions towards our family. But it seems like there’s more to it, something I haven’t been told. That’s the entire truth, the history behind this whole ordeal. I was confused but kept silent, waiting for mo

Marco p.o.vMarco led his men through the darkness, their gazed fixed on the single story building. The building seems like a cozy home for a loving family, easily distracting anyone from suspect a villain to be living in it.If Marco isn’t aware of the fact that look can be deceitful and hasn’t tracked him down here, then he would have been played.Marco and his dad walk up to the porch, leaving their men hidden in the darkness. Marco carefully pushed the open the creaky door and silently slipped in. The once dimly lit room was illuminated by the light pouring in through the slightly open door.They moved steadily, the sounds of their movements weren’t concealed as they wanted to announce their presence. The house wasn’t bare of the enemies, in fact they are in the shadows waiting for the order to end their prey.If only they knew they picked the wrong prey.“Freeze.” A voice barked from the shadows, and a figure emerged from the darkness. Giorgio Russu. A typical average man above

Zoey p.o.vIt was silence between us after Roman instructed his men to prepare to transport us from here, the wait and anticipation was draining. “Boss, the van is ready.” One of Roman’s men informed him. Having no clue where you are at and where you been taking to is scary enough.“Good.” Roman nods, he has been restless. Glancing at the wristwatch on his wrist, “Get them out of here.” He instructed making his way to the entrance.Aside from Roman who looked nothing close to be in the mafia, the rest of his team was different, these men doesn’t seem like a gang.like some random criminals picked up by him to form his own team, they lack the unity Marco’s men has.I saw Camilla cowered back into her seat, as she was approached first. My heart raced with fear, these men are rough as the unchained us. I tried to buy time for Marco to get here, if they succeeded in transporting us to another location then it would be a difficult task for Marco then.“I need to use the restroom.” My voi

Zoey p.o.vSoon after, the sound of the car stopped, obviously right in front of whatever building we are in. It doesn’t seem like a warehouse or an apartment, it seems like it was specifically designed for this suppose.Footsteps approach and soon enough, they emerge. Their presence filling up the room instantly, Vincenzo, Dario, and Dante Alfonso walked in. These names have wrecked havoc in the mafia world once upon a time, instilling terror in the hearts of their rivals. And even when times have changed and age taking a toll on them. They still had the spirit and terrifying aura with them.Roman’s men fling to action, five of them holding us with at gun point, even when our movements are limited by their electrified chains. Some shielding Roman, positioning themselves in front of him pointing their guns at their targets, while some stood beside him equally in a defense position.The rest surrounded dad, and his brothers, and also in their defense position.

The first bullet Marco released hits Giorgio square in the head, Giorgio body immediately slump to the ground lifeless.Roman saw that the situation isn’t under his control to begin with, wants to retreat, but it was already too late. He has brought out the beast in Marco, and there’s no way he would escape from his end.“Going somewhere?” Marco growled, jumping in front of Roman. Marco moved like lightning, stunning Roman, Marco was a few feet’s away the last time he saw him. “You were pleading for death the moment you decide to mess with me, and then I decided to grant your death wish when you put my woman in harms way.” Marco snarled, and launched himself at Roman.His fist flew in the air, connecting with Roman ja

Camila POV I couldn’t shake off the feeling of Matthew’s fingers on my skin as we drove away from the school. We didn’t speak, the silence between us thick with tension. I stared out the window in attempt to distract myself, but I kept having flashes of our little moment. Does it mean he has feelings for me? Because clearly he was carried away by the hit of the moment. I screamed inwardly, frustrated. Every time I tried or thought I have figured him out, he comes up with a new and heart wrecking behavior. Matthew’s phone buzzed, breaking their silence. He glanced at the screen, then quickly answered the call through the Bluetooth in his ear. “Don.” His voice firm. I turned to him, curious. I wondered what he’s going to report back to Marco. “Yes, I’ve got her.” Matthew said, his eyes flicking to me before returning to the road. “Yes, Don.” Immediately, he hanged up the call, he turned on a different direction that is clearly not heading home. “Where are we going?” I a

Camila p.o.v“Where are you.” I choose to ignore the message glaring at me. I've received tons of missed calls and messages from this same person.The man I've grown to love with every fiber in my being, it stared as plain admiration and flared into fully grown love.Matthew, yes him.I want to be alone to process my thoughts, I've had feelings for Matthew since I was sixteen. My heart picks him, since I was little, I've always had him in my heart, yet he doesn't seem to notice.He's here to pick me up from school as usual, but must be pissed and worried as he couldn't find me. I had replied one of his messages telling him I needed to be left alone, but he's not having it and kept on blaring my phone with messages and calls.'I'M TRACKING YOU." He threatened.No! That's not an empty threat, he meant what he said, he has done it before, and he will do it again. Again, I chose to ign

Camila POV “Ow!” I colluded with Matthew’s broad back, it wasn't intentional. I wasn’t paying attention, looking around I noticed we are in the parking lot. No, not the regular school parking lot, but the reserved car park for professors. Yeah, that’s one of the reasons the other students calls me a spoilt brat. Matthew turned around, I step back feeling dazed “I’m sorry, I wasn’t looking.” I quickly recovered. I shook my head, trying to clear it off the cobwebs. I tried walking around to enter the car, but he gripped my right arm holding back from moving away. “You were ignoring me.” He stated. He knew I was ignoring him, I mean it was quite obvious and for obvious reasons. His hold on my arm was doing dirty to my head, my mind was messy as all I could think of is how his touch wakes up every nerve in my body. I shook my head inwardly and tri

Today is your sister’s day.”“Ouch, Mom! That hurt,” he complained.“And you deserve it,” Melanie’s voice cut into the conversation.“There’s my favorite nurse!” Sam yelled.“Dad, tone it down,” she said.“Nonsense. I would shout it at the top of my lungs if I had to so you can know how proud I am of you,” he replied.She smiled at her father and went to hug him then she did the same with her mom and brother who all congratulated her before she stopped in front of me.“I always knew you were something else, little nurse,” I told her. “From the first day I set my eyes on you, I knew you were better than the rest of us.”“Stop it you’re going to make me cry,” she said.I opened my arms and she stepped into me for a hug.My girl was finally a registered nurse and today was her gra

Melanie’s POVThe ride back to the house was very quiet.Throughout the ride home, I couldn’t help but think that none of this would have happened if I just had a conversation with Adriano.He was the man I fell in love with and even though I left him, he didn’t hesitate before coming for me.I know he was very relieved in the heat of the moment but I couldn’t help but wonder what was going to happen once the adrenaline wore off and he could think a bit more clearly.One thing I knew was that I was going to spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to him.Adriano was more honorable than people knew. I never thought I would be one of those women who would be pleased because her man killed people for her but as it turned out, I was one of those women.He pulled up to the house, which seemed to have more security guards on duty than normal and I knew it was all because of me.A few hours away, we were celebrating Christmas in bliss but I just had to go and ruin everything for every

Adriano’s POVThe warehouse was a hive of chaos, but I didn’t hear the shouting or the echoing footsteps behind me. All I saw was Melanie. She sat bound to a chair, her face pale, and her lip split, a streak of blood trailing down her chin. Alex Pushkin had a gun pressed to her temple. My blood ran cold. I raised my weapon, keeping my voice steady. “Let her go.” Behind me, my men spread out, weapons aimed and ready. They waited for my signal, but I couldn’t give it—not yet. One wrong move, one miscalculation, and Melanie could die. Pushkin laughed, a guttural sound that grated on my nerves. “You think you scare me? I’ve killed better men than you.” His hand twitched, and I saw the flicker of uncertainty in his eyes. Good. He was scared, even if he didn’t want to admit it. Fear made people sloppy. I needed to buy time, distract him long enough for my men to position themselves. “Erica,” I said, shifting my focus to the woman who stood off to the side, smug and self-satisfie

Melanie’s POVI woke up to the biting chill of a dark, unfamiliar room, my head pounding as if it had been split in two. My wrists ached from the tight ropes binding them, and my ankles felt just as constricted."You’re awake," Erica drawled, her tone laced with mock concern. She folded her arms and leaned against the rusted frame of the door, watching me like a predator eyeing its prey. "How are you feeling, darling?" I didn't respond. My throat was dry, and my words caught somewhere between anger and fear. God, how could I have been foolish enough to let, Erica manipulate me? I should have known that she was up to no good when Alice told me that Adriano left her at the altar.I guess now I was paying the price for my foolishness."Cat, got your tongue?" she asked, smirking. "Or maybe it’s the shock of realizing you’ve been so incredibly stupid." Her words stung more than I cared to admit. I should have known better.

Adriano’s POVSomething was off.I didn’t know what but the moment I ended the call with Nik and sat down to work, something in my head kept nagging at me.At first, I thought it was the unusual silence in the house but I figured that was because everyone was probably asleep.I had expected Melanie to come find and chastize me for taking too long but since she didn’t, that meant that the day finally got to her and she succumbed to sleep.My girl was a rockstar tonight, and like I expected, she had my entire family eating from the palm of her hands throughout the dinner. I was sure they saw exactly what I did from the moment I set my eyes on her.By now Nik should be mobilizing the guys to infiltrate the last warehouse. He got intel that Pushkin finally moved all the girls to one place and he just got the location.

Melanie’s POVThe cool night air felt like needles against my skin as I hurried down the street, my duffel bag slung over my shoulder. My legs felt like lead, but I pushed forward, every step putting more distance between me and the house that was once my prison but later became my home. The streets were quiet, the kind of silence that normally would have scared me, but tonight I welcomed it. I avoided the well-lit areas, sticking to the shadows, hoping none of Adriano's guards would see me. My pulse raced with every second, and my breath was uneven.I had no idea where I was going, but I didn’t care. All that mattered was getting away and I was lucky enough to have been able to avoid the guards. I guess the weeks of walking the grounds and studying their routine paid off.Luckily, a cab finally came into view at the corner of the street, its headlights a beacon of hope. I flagged it down, my arm trembling as I waved. The driver, an older man with kind eyes, rolled down the window.

Melanie’s POVThe first image made my heart stop.It was of a young girl who was barely a teenager. She was sitting on a dingy mattress in what looked like a warehouse, her eyes hollow, her body too thin. Behind her, a shadowy figure loomed a man I didn't recognize but I could bet my life on it that it was her oppressor.My throat tightened as I flipped to the next photograph and the next. Each one was worse than the last. Girls, so young they could barely be called women, trapped in squalor, their faces etched with fear.I couldn't breathe.At first, I thought, no, and hoped that this was evidence Adriano had gathered to shut down a trafficking ring. It had to be. He couldn't possibly be involved in this. He could kill a man but there was no way he was responsible for harming innocent girls.But then I saw it, rather I saw him. And there was no mistaking the fact that he was the one because I recognized Nik beside him.They were both holding onto girls and leading them to God knows w

It was just too beautiful. I’ve never owned anything as expensive as this and I was so scared to ask him how much it cost.We already exchanged gifts in the morning so I wasn’t expecting anything more from him.In a not-so-surprising turn of events, Alice was still awake by the time we got home.“For a moment I thought you both were going to spend the night there,” Alice said when we got into the living room."It's really late, Alice, and I'm sure you've had a long day. You should be sleeping," Adriano said.“I couldn’t sleep when I knew how important today was to Melanie.

Melanie’s POVThe soft glow of candlelight and the twinkle of garlands wrapped around the staircase banister made the dining room feel almost magical. The air was thick with the aromas of roasted meats, spiced wine, and fresh-baked rolls, making my stomach grumble in anticipation. Platters of steaming food filled every inch of space. Roast beef surrounded by caramelized vegetables, golden potatoes dusted with rosemary, bowls of vibrant salads, and an assortment of bread rolls that looked fresh out of the oven. When we heard no movement on the steps, Zoey gave a sharp clap of her hands and called out to the men, her voice cutting through the hum of conversation. “Dinner is ready! Boys, come join us!” she said.I heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs as Adriano and the rest of the men made their way over. Adriano entered first, his presence commanding as always, but his warm smile was reserved for me alone. My heart gave a tiny flutter, and I smoothed my dress nervously. As
