Four Heirs Claimed On My Babies Chapter one
The ReturnI never thought I’d set foot in this city again. After everything I went through—after everything I sacrificed to keep myself and my children safe—it was the last place I ever wanted to be. But life has a twisted sense of humor. One wrong turn, one damn accident, and everything I’d been running from came crashing down around me.The sound of screeching tires still rings in my ears. It was supposed to be a quick stop on the outskirts of town, but fate had other plans. A drunk driver veered into my car at the intersection, pushing me into the spotlight. Cameras, cops, and witnesses swarmed the scene before I even realized what was happening. I could feel the walls closing in as the police officers asked for my identification, as bystanders snapped photos and filmed the aftermath with their phones. I wasn’t just another woman involved in a fender bender—I was Elena Romano, the ghost of the Romano mafia empire. And now, I was visible again.By the time I got back to the safe h

Shadows of the PastThe chill of the voice on the other end of the line cut through me, sending icy tendrils of fear creeping up my spine. I could almost picture him—tall and imposing, with a predatory smile that could freeze your blood. This was no ordinary man; he was the mastermind behind everything that had gone wrong in my life. “Who gave you this number?” I demanded, trying to sound brave despite my racing heart. There was a pause, a low chuckle that sent a wave of nausea washing over me. “Does it matter? You’re back in the city, my dear. You know how the game works. You’re in my territory now.”“Get out of my life,” I snapped, forcing the words out through clenched teeth. “I’ll do whatever it takes to protect my children from you.”“Protect them? You think you can protect them from me? From what’s coming? They are already in my sights, Elena. They are the keys to everything.” The line went dead, and the weight of his threat hung in the air like a storm cloud ready to unleash

The Calm Before the StormThe air outside was thick with tension, a palpable sense of dread hanging in the cool night. I could feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins as Ryder led us into the shadows of the alley. Each step was measured, every noise amplified in the eerie silence that surrounded us. The weight of the moment pressed down on me, a reminder that the calm we were experiencing was deceptive—a mere prelude to the storm that was sure to follow.“Stay close,” Ryder instructed, glancing back at me as he led the way. I nodded, tightening my grip on Luca’s hand, our fingers entwined as if he could anchor me to this world where danger was looming just beyond our reach.The dim glow of the streetlights barely penetrated the darkness, casting long shadows that twisted and turned with the wind. It was disorienting, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were being watched. Every rustle of leaves, every distant footstep sent my heart racing, and I forced myself to breathe ste

Shadows of the PastThe silence that followed his entrance was suffocating, like the air itself had frozen in fear. My heart pounded so violently in my chest I was sure everyone in the room could hear it. He stood there, tall and menacing, like a specter from my worst nightmares—a figure who had once been a ghost, but was now flesh and blood, staring me down.“How...?” I managed to choke out, my voice trembling. How had he found us so quickly? It didn’t make sense.The man who had burst through the door looked like he had stepped out of a nightmare—his eyes dark, calculating, and filled with cruel amusement. His presence alone seemed to suck the oxygen from the room.“I’ve always known where to find you, Elena,” he said with a sickening smirk. His voice was smooth, filled with the kind of calm arrogance that came from knowing he held all the power. “You didn’t think you could hide forever, did you?”Ryder moved in front of me, his body tense, ready for anything. Luca and Sasha flanked

A Mother’s BetrayalThe world tilted on its axis.My mother. The woman I had mourned, the one I had buried in my heart alongside my father’s cold corpse—was standing right in front of me. Alive. Whole. And watching.Everything inside me froze. My mind screamed at me to move, to act, to defend myself, but my body refused to respond. I could only stare, my breath caught in my throat, my heart pounding so loudly I thought it would explode.The chaos of the fight blurred around me. Dante and Ryder had engaged Lorenzo, their fists flying, while Sasha and Luca struggled to gain the upper hand. But none of it registered—not when the ghost of my mother stood before me.She took a step forward, her gaze locked on mine, and I saw it then. The cold indifference in her eyes. The hardness that had always lingered beneath the surface, now fully revealed. It was like seeing her for the first time—as she truly was.“Elena,” she said softly, her voice carrying over the chaos as though she wasn’t surr

Shattered Pieces“No!” I screamed, my voice cracking with desperation. I lunged forward, but it was too late—my son had already taken that fatal step toward Lorenzo. The room seemed to shrink around me, everything else fading into the background as I focused on him—on my baby boy, whose wide, innocent eyes looked so confused. He didn’t understand the danger, the darkness surrounding him. And I couldn’t save him.“Mom?” His voice was small, scared. The fear in his eyes ripped through me, but it was nothing compared to the icy grip of terror when I saw Lorenzo’s hand land on his shoulder.Time slowed to a crawl.Lorenzo’s smile was cold and cruel. His hand, so gentle on my son’s small frame, was a mockery of the violence he carried in his veins. I could see it in his eyes—the hunger for control, the ruthless need to dominate. And my son, my son, was just a tool in his twisted game.I tried to scream again, to force myself to move, but my body was frozen, paralyzed by the sheer terror of

The ChoiceSilence hung heavy in the room, thicker than the tension that crackled in the air. I could feel the eyes of everyone around me—Dante, Sasha, Luca—all of them waiting, watching for my next move. But none of it mattered. The only thing that mattered was my son, standing just inches away from a man who could take him from me forever.Lorenzo’s ultimatum echoed in my ears, and my mind raced, trying to find a way out, a loophole, something that would let me save my son without condemning everything my father had built.“Think carefully, Elena,” Lorenzo said, his voice low and dangerous. “You have one chance. Choose wisely.”I swallowed hard, my throat tight with emotion. “How do I know you’ll keep your word?” I asked, my voice shaking. “How do I know you’ll let him go if I walk away?”Lorenzo’s smile didn’t falter, but there was something darker in his eyes now. “You don’t. But that’s the risk you’ll have to take.”I clenched my fists, anger, and fear warring within me. He was t

The GambleThe words spun in my head, and every instinct screamed at me to act—to tear my son away from Lorenzo and run. But where would we go? How could I protect him, protect all of them, when this world was built on violence and betrayal?Dante’s voice sliced through the tension, harsh and unyielding. “Don’t do it, Elena. You know he’s lying.”I turned toward him, my vision blurring with tears. “And if he’s not? What if he’s telling the truth?”Luca growled, stepping forward, fists clenched at his sides. “We’ll kill him before he can lay a hand on your son. You don’t have to make this choice.”Sasha remained silent, his cold, calculating gaze focused entirely on Lorenzo. His mind was already working through every possible outcome, but even I could see the doubt flickering in his eyes. Sasha didn’t gamble. He only played games he knew he could win, and this… this was too much of a risk.Lorenzo, sensing my hesitation, squeezed my son’s shoulder. “You don’t have the luxury of time, E

The Calm Before the Storm IIThe days that followed were a blur of preparations, planning, and gathering resources. Elena worked tirelessly, coordinating with Dante and Aleksandr’s men, making sure every piece of the plan was in place. The air was thick with tension as they prepared for what would undoubtedly be the most dangerous move of their lives.Word had spread quickly through the underworld—Grimaldi’s name whispered in fear, his reach more vast than anyone had previously realized. He controlled more than they had known—politicians, law enforcement, entire sectors of the black market. His influence was woven so deeply into the fabric of their world that tearing him down seemed almost impossible.Almost.But Elena had never been one to shy away from the impossible.One night, as she sat in her dimly lit office, poring over maps and intel reports, Luca entered the room quietly, his face grim. He closed the door behind him, stepping into the dim light cast by the flickering lamp on

The Calm Before the StormThe weight of their reluctant approval settled heavily on Elena’s shoulders. For a moment, the courtyard of the mansion was completely silent, save for the rustle of wind through the decrepit walls. She knew the stakes were higher now than they had ever been. With the mafia kings grudgingly agreeing to her plan, the path forward became clearer but more treacherous. She had forced their hands, but in doing so, she had placed herself in a far more precarious position. If her plan failed, there would be no forgiveness. There would be no escape.The gathering dispersed slowly, each man retreating to his corner, surrounded by his guards, his thoughts undoubtedly running wild with doubt and suspicion. Dante shot her one last glance before disappearing into the shadows, his eyes still burning with mistrust. Aleksandr’s smirk lingered as he followed Dante, his mind always working, always scheming. Even Luca, her steadfast ally, seemed more distant now, as if the weig

Ascension IIThe crowd murmured, the tension shifting now from outright hostility to something more uncertain. Elena had seized the narrative, and for the first time, some of the men were starting to see her not just as an adversary but as a leader.Aleksandr stepped forward, his cold eyes boring into hers. “You say you know his plan. Prove it. Tell us who he is.”Elena’s gaze swept over the room, landing on each of the key players. She had to be careful. She could feel the ground shifting beneath her, the balance of power still delicate.“The fourth man,” she said slowly, “is someone who’s been in the shadows for years. Someone none of us suspected because he’s always played the long game. He’s not after a quick takeover. He’s after something bigger—total control.”Aleksandr’s smirk returned. “And who is this puppet master of yours, Elena?”She paused, knowing that what she was about to reveal would change everything.“Vincenzo Grimaldi.”A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

AscensionThe room was charged with tension, the kind that could snap at any second. The courtyard of the crumbling mansion was dim, shadows playing tricks on the eyes, but Elena’s presence was undeniable. She stood at the center of a storm of eyes, most of them filled with suspicion, some with contempt, and a few, like Dante’s, with a simmering rage.Elena didn’t flinch.She had to be more than just another player in this deadly game; she had to become the master of it. She had taken too many risks, faced too much betrayal to let this moment slip from her fingers.“I’m not asking for respect, Dante,” Elena said calmly, her voice cutting through the heavy silence. “I’m demanding obedience. Respect is something that will come after.”Dante’s sneer deepened, his fingers twitching as if itching to reach for his weapon. His eyes were hard, cold. “You don’t demand anything from us. The only reason you’re still breathing is because we’ve been waiting for you to make a mistake.”Aleksandr ch

The Cost of Victory IIShe met his gaze head-on. “Then watch all you want. But know this—I don’t lose.”With that, Aleksandr and Dante turned to leave, their men trailing behind them. The alliance was tenuous, but for now, it held. Elena let out a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding as she watched them disappear into the night.Luca remained by her side, his expression unreadable. “You really mean to take control of everything, don’t you?”“I do,” Elena said quietly, her voice steady. “I’m tired of being a pawn in everyone else’s game. It’s time I make the rules.”“And what happens when they don’t want to play by your rules?” Luca asked, his tone softer now.“Then they’ll be dealt with,” she said, a fierce determination flashing in her eyes. “Just like Lorenzo, just like the fourth man.”Luca’s brow furrowed, concern etching lines across his face. “You know this won’t be easy. The families, the alliances... everything can fall apart in an instant.”Elena sighed, turning to f

The Cost of VictoryThe silence that followed the gunfire was oppressive, thick with the stench of gunpowder and blood. Bodies littered the courtyard of the mansion, and smoke hung in the air, a grim reminder of the battle that had just taken place. Elena stood at the edge of the chaos, her eyes scanning the aftermath as she tried to steady her breath. The attack had been swift, brutal, and necessary. The fourth man had revealed himself, and his forces had been annihilated.But the victory felt hollow.Luca emerged from the shadows, his shirt smeared with dirt and blood, his face hardened by the events of the night. He walked toward Elena, his gaze locking onto hers as he approached. She could see the weariness in his eyes, the toll this war had taken on both of them. This battle may have ended, but the scars it left behind were far from healing.“Elena,” Luca said softly, stopping in front of her.She looked at him, her face unreadable, emotions swirling just beneath the surface.

The Calm III made my way to one of our main safe houses, where a team of our most trusted soldiers were stationed. The building was nondescript, blending into the industrial area around it. A few guards stood outside, their eyes scanning the area for any sign of trouble. As I approached, one of them nodded in acknowledgment.“Everything quiet?” I asked, my voice low.“Quiet enough,” the guard replied, his eyes sharp as he glanced around. “But we’re keeping an eye on things. There’s been chatter on the streets, though—people are nervous.”I wasn’t surprised. The tension in the underworld had been building for weeks, ever since we’d started making moves against the Bratva. Rumors were spreading like wildfire, and everyone knew that a storm was coming.I stepped inside the building, where a few more of our men were gathered, talking quietly among themselves. The atmosphere was tense, but controlled. They knew the gravity of the situation, and they were ready.I found Martinez already in

The Calm The early hours of the morning cast a gray light over the city, filtering through the heavy curtains of the safe house. I hadn't slept. None of us had. Martinez, Luca, and I spent the night strategizing, anticipating every possible move Sergei and the Bratva might make once they discovered the deception. The stakes had never been higher. We were on the verge of war, and every second felt like a countdown to an inevitable, bloody clash.The air inside the safe house was thick with tension. Luca stood by the window, his back to the rest of us, staring out at the dim streets below. He’d been quiet since the meeting with Sergei, his mind working through the layers of the plan, weighing the risks.I sat at the table, my fingers nervously tapping against the surface. A cup of cold coffee sat untouched beside me, forgotten. Martinez was pacing again, his face lined with stress. He hated waiting—so did I. But at this point, waiting was all we could do.“We’ve got everything in place

Into the Lion's Den IIFinally, Sergei reached out and took the USB drive from Luca’s hand. “I’ll need to verify this information, of course. But if it checks out, we might have something to discuss.”Relief washed over me, though I knew better than to let it show. This was only the first step, and the real danger lay in what would happen once Sergei verified that the information was nothing more than a carefully crafted fabrication—one designed to lead him into a trap.“That’s all we ask,” Luca said, keeping his tone even. “Once you’ve had time to review the files, we can discuss the next steps.”Sergei’s eyes narrowed, his expression unreadable. “You’re playing a dangerous game,” he said quietly. “But I respect boldness. Just be careful that you don’t end up on the wrong side of this deal.”With that, he turned and motioned for his men to follow him. They moved in sync, a well-oiled machine, as they retreated to their SUVs. Sergei paused before getting into his vehicle, glancing bac
