Forced to Wed the Mafia Heir Chapter 87
ROSY'S SECRETThe safe house was buzzing with activity as Lysander’s team regrouped and strategized their next move. They had come agonizingly close to capturing The Viper, but he had slipped through their fingers once again. Kylie couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to Rosy's kidnapping than met the eye. Something about the whole situation felt off.As Rosy recovered, Kylie spent more time with her, trying to piece together what had happened. She noticed that Rosy seemed unusually quiet and distant, often lost in thought. It wasn’t just the trauma of the kidnapping, something else was troubling her.One afternoon, as they sat together in the infirmary, Kylie decided to confront her friend. “Rosy, is there something you’re not telling us? I can see that you’re scared, but we need to know everything if we’re going to stop The Viper.”Rosy looked up, her eyes filled with tears. She hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath. “Kylie, there’s something I need to tell you.

THE BETRAYAL REVEALEDThe safe house had become a fortress of resolve. Lysander and his team had tightened their defenses and doubled their efforts to gather intelligence on The Viper. They knew that the key to victory lay in outsmarting their enemy. But the recent close calls and The Viper’s ominous threats left everyone on edge.One evening, as Lysander and Kylie were discussing their plans, Kim entered the room with a grave expression. “We’ve got a problem,” he said, his voice low.Lysander and Kylie exchanged a worried glance. “What is it?” Lysander asked.Kim handed Lysander a file. “I’ve been reviewing our security footage and noticed something disturbing. There’s someone within our ranks who’s been communicating with The Viper.”Lysander’s eyes widened in shock. “Who?”Kim’s face was grim. “It’s Dorian.”The revelation hit Lysander like a punch to the gut. His own brother, someone he had trusted with his life, was betraying them. He couldn’t believe it, but the evidence was cle

GREATEST NIGHTMARE"I sank deeper into the comfy chaise lounge, loving the feel of the velvety cushions against my skin. The only sounds were the quiet rustle of pages and the tick-tock of the old grandfather clock in the corner. It was so peaceful in the library, almost like my own heartbeat.The reading lamp next to me creates lengthy shadows across the dark wooden furniture, enveloping my younger sister, Ava, in a personal cocoon of light. The walls were lined in rows of unspoiled volumes with leather-bound spines glinting in the faint light. I'd always connected the musty smell of old paper and polished wood - which permeated the air — with safety and comfort.Ava's head rested cozily on my lap; her eyes closed, and her breathing was regular. I looked down at her calm face and started to smile a little. Her long lashes created soft shadows on her cheeks, and some black hair strands had dropped across her forehead. Our home lacked these quiet times; hence, I valued every second.Run

UNWANTED ENGAGEMENTYou know that feeling when your stomach starts churning right before you're about to go on a rollercoaster? That's exactly how I felt outside Dad's study. I could barely even grab the doorknob because my hand was so sweaty. It was never a good sign to be called to the study, but this time? It felt different, like something was off.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. "It's okay, Kylie," I muttered to myself. "You probably forgot to do something minor; no big deal." I pushed the door open and walked in, trying to pep talk myself into feeling better."Man, was this room always this stuffy?" I quizzed, Dad's cigar made the place smell like a truck, and I swear the walls were closing in on me. Dad looked all broody and serious behind his desk. He motioned toward the chair across from him and said, "Sit down, Kylie."As I perched on the edge of the seat, I felt like a little kid in the principal's office. "What's up, Dad?" I tried to sound casual, but I thi

A THREATThe café should provide a small haven from the whirlwind of the past several days, I hoped. Though the scent of new coffee and the gentle buzz of conversation were meant to be calming, they appeared to accentuate my thoughts instead. Trying to ignore the chill still clinging to my bones from the early morning drizzle, I put my hands around the steaming mug.My phone broke the silence on the table by buzzing on top of it, and I looked at the screen. Still another reminder of the engagement announcement from my dad. I sighed, unable to help, but it felt like every communication stacked on additional pressure, not like I would have forgotten.Letting my thoughts wander, I watched the rain-slicked streets out the window. The café was cozy, but outside the dark sky and consistent rain pattern reflected the uncertainty developing in my head. Was this exactly what I yearned for? Was I really about to wed a man I hardly knew, someone who lived a life of shadows and power?I observed s

THE COUNTDOWN TO ENGAGEMENTTwice a day. Just two meager days till my presence formally runs down the toilet. Like a gloomy cloud hovering over me, the engagement party loomed large and I couldn't get rid of the sense of approaching disaster. Who, at eighteen, has an engagement party? For loud screaming out, this was not the 1800s.Sitting on my bed, I watched the pale pink frock hanging on my closet door. Mom had picked it out naturally. Heaven forbid I show up for my own engagement party sporting something I truly like. I moaned and flopped back onto my cushions. Perhaps if I desired really hard, this would all simply vanish."kylie! Kylie! Join me at my pity party." The sound of small feet stomping down the hall burst through. My door opened to show my younger brother, Kael, his dark hair standing in every direction and his eyes glittering with mischief."I want to play!" he declared, throwing himself into my bed with the elegance of a young elephant.I started to grin and ruffle hi

MINEThe booming sound of the grandfather clock in the corridor echoed across the huge manor as midnight approached. I lay wide awake in bed, feeling as though my head was spinning with ideas and emotions. Instead of being comforting, the silk sheets now felt suffocating against my skin. The memory of dinner lingered in my mind, with the tension, loaded looks, and barely veiled threats hidden beneath polite conversation. It replayed in my thoughts, each iteration deepening the pit of fear in my stomach.I turned onto my side and looked at the elaborate vanity across the room. In the low moonlight streaming through the heavy draperies, I could just see my reflection — a pallid ghost with wide, troubled eyes. Looking back at me, I hardly recognized myself. Was I the cleaned-up daughter of a criminal lord? The future bride of an even more dangerous man?Muttering "Screw this," I slung my legs over the side of the bed. As I padded across the room in near-darkness, fumbling for my bathrobe,

SIX MONTHS LEFTLittle puffs of white vanished into the cold Chicago air as my breath coated her lips. Not even my big coat could shield me from the stinging winter cold that seemed to permeate my own bones. Perhaps then it was more than just the temperature. Perhaps the cold I experienced exceeded mere sensation.Crawling over the snow-covered streets, the sound of new snowfall under my boots gave my depressing thoughts a consistent cadence. Walking with me were my mother and sisters; our modest procession was completed by the always visible security. Only another family trip. Indeed.My stomach turned as we walked toward the opulent bridal store, its windows bursting with flowing white gowns and glittering accessories. Was not this meant to be thrilling? A passage of passage. A dream fulfilled.A few dreams.As we entered, the bell above the door chimed, and I was instantly hit by a flood of warm air and the stinging aroma of perfume. To welcome us, the small woman running the store

The image was grainy, but the message was clear. The Viper, his face still obscured by shadows, addressed them directly.“Lysander, Kylie,” The Viper’s voice was cold and menacing. “You’ve c

A NEW ENEMY EMERGESThe victory at the Syndicate’s factory had bolstered the morale at the safe house. Lysander's men were more determined than ever, and Kylie felt a new sense of purpose. However, the sense of accomplishment was short-lived. A storm was brewing, and they could all feel it in the air.As the team strengthened their defenses and strategized their next moves, a new threat loomed on the horizon. Unknown to Lysander and his allies, a powerful figure from the Syndicate's upper echelon had taken a keen interest in their activities. This new enemy, known only as The Viper, was ruthless and had a reputation for leaving no loose ends.Lysander sat in his office, pouring over maps and intelligence reports. Kylie entered quietly, her presence a welcome distraction. “You look worried,” she said softly, taking a seat across from him.He sighed, rubbing his temples. “We’ve crippled the Syndicate’s operations, but I can’t shake the feeling that something bigger is coming.

Lysander and his men tightened their security, making sure that there would be no more leaks. Ava was recovering well, her strength returning with each passing day. But Kylie couldn’t shake the anger that simmered within her. The Syndicate had taken too much from them, and she was determined to make them pay.Lysander noticed the change in her.

We’ve been playing defense for too long. It’s time to take the fight to them.”Lysander nodded, understanding her need for action. “What do you have in mi

LYSANDER'S CONFESSION The rescue operation had been successful, but the aftermath left the entire safe house on edge. Ava was safe, but bruised and shaken. Lysander’s anger was palpable as he paced the corridors, his mind racing with thoughts of betrayal and strategy. The Syndicate had played their hand well, and the fact that they knew about Ava’s location indicated that there was a mole within their ranks. Kylie sat beside Ava’s bed, holding her hand. Ava’s eyes fluttered open, and she managed a weak smile. “Thank you for saving me.” Kylie squeezed her hand gently. “You don’t need to thank me. We’re family. We’ll always protect you.” Ava nodded, her eyes filling with tears. “I was so scared, Kylie. I didn’t think I’d make it out.” Kylie stroked her hair gently. “You’re safe now. Rest and get your strength back. We’ll find out who did this.” Lysander called a meeting with his top men, their faces grim and determined. Kim had already started investigating, but they needed t

Kylie and Lysander spent some rare quiet moments together, savoring the feeling of victory while knowing it would be short-lived.However, the fragile peace was shattered when Lysander received a frantic call from Maria, the loyal maid who had been watching over Ava. The color drained from his face as he listened, and Kylie knew immediately that something was terribly wrong."Ava's missing," Lysander said, his voice tight with barely controlled anger. "Maria went to check on her this morning and found her room empty."Kylie's heart skipped a beat. "How could this happen? We had people watching her around the clock."Lysander ran a hand through his hair, his eyes blazing with fury and worry. "Someon

Lysander and his men worked tirelessly to fortify their defenses and gather more intelligence. They knew the Syndicate wouldn’t stay down for long, and they had to be prepared for the inevitable retaliation.Kylie threw herself into her training, determined to be ready for whatever came next.

THE SYNDICATE'S AMBUSH Lysander and his men were in high spirits. They had successfully defended the safe house from the Syndicate’s attack, and morale was higher than it had been in weeks. However, Lysander knew that they couldn’t afford to let their guard down. The Syndicate was relentless, and this victory would only make them more determined.As the men regrouped and tended to their injuries, Lysander called a meeting. They needed to plan their next move. The Syndicate wouldn’t wait long before striking again, and they needed to stay one step ahead.“We need to hit them where it hurts,” Lysander said, his voice firm. “We can’t keep playing defense. It’s time to take the fight to them.”Kim nodded in agreement. “We’ve gathered enough intelligence to know their weak points. A coordinated attack on their key locations could cripple their operations.”Dorian leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. “I’m ready. Just say the word, and I’ll lead the charge.”Lysander nodded,
