In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire A Reckoning unleashed
Dominic’s gaze flicked over Sasha, chained and bloodied, his jaw tightening as rage simmered beneath his cold exterior. His dark, calculating eyes were locked onto Luca, whose smug smile wavered ever so slightly. Luca’s men shifted uneasily, glancing at each other, sensing the silent storm gathering in the air.Dominic took a deliberate step forward, his entire frame radiating a quiet, controlled fury. The room was dead silent, except for the muffled sound of Sasha’s labored breathing as she sat restrained in the chair, her wrists bound, her face pale and drawn.“What’s the matter, Dom?” Luca sneered, his bravado returning as he leaned back, folding his arms. “Upset I found your weakness?”Dominic’s mouth twisted into a humorless smile, his eyes never leaving Luca. “You’ve made a grave mistake, Luca,” he said, his voice low, almost a whisper. “Touching what’s mine? I won’t forgive that.”Luca scoffed, dismissing the threat with a wave of his hand. “You’ve gone soft, Dominic. Everyone

The city lights glowed through the tinted car windows as Dominic and Sasha sat in tense silence. The adrenaline from their escape had barely faded, and the charged silence between them was thick with unspoken words. Dominic’s hand lingered on Sasha’s knee, firm and steady, grounding her through the swirl of emotions she couldn’t contain. They had barely escaped Luca’s grip, and yet, somehow, she still felt the looming presence of his threat.Dominic’s phone buzzed again, and he clenched his jaw, ignoring it this time as he looked out the window. Sasha watched him, her own pulse quickening as she took in his profile—the controlled fury simmering beneath his calm exterior, his protectiveness hidden under his usual impassive demeanor. The lines in his face told a story of a man who had fought for everything he had, who had been ruthless when he needed to be, yet the way he looked at her told a different story—a gentler, conflicted one that she didn’t fully understand.“Dominic,” she fina

The morning sunlight filtered through the high windows of Dominic’s penthouse, casting long shadows across the floor. Sasha stood in the middle of the vast living room, feeling dwarfed by its emptiness. She had barely slept, haunted by Alistair’s revelation, and the painful reminder that danger was never far from Dominic—or from her. She hadn’t yet shared her thoughts with Dominic, but she could feel a shift between them, a silent weight hanging in the air.Dominic entered the room, his expression shadowed, his gaze lingering on her for a moment before he spoke. “We need to prepare,” he said, voice steady but lacking his usual warmth. He glanced away, rubbing the back of his neck. “There are places to go, people to talk to. This… alliance my father’s built with Luca, it’s been under my nose, right where I never thought to look.”Sasha moved closer, her voice soft. “Dom, I can’t imagine how hard it is to hear that he’s alive—and worse, working against you. But you’re not alone in this.

The early morning light cast a pale glow over the city as Sasha lay beside Dominic, her head resting on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. The events of the night before lingered in her mind—the weight of Dominic’s past, the terrible revelation about his father’s betrayal, and Luca’s ominous threats. She had promised Dominic she wouldn’t leave him, but a gnawing doubt had settled deep within her. Would she be strong enough to face the demons from his past, or was she only adding to the risk he already faced?Dominic stirred, his arm instinctively pulling her closer. “You’re up early,” he murmured, his voice husky from sleep.Sasha smiled softly, tracing patterns along his chest. “Couldn’t sleep. Just… thinking.” Her tone was light, but she felt the tension in his body, sensed his hesitancy.He tilted her chin up, his gaze searching her face. “What are you thinking about?” he asked, his voice barely a whisper.She hesitated, uncertain how to voice the tangle of emotions chur

Sasha sat in the dimly lit kitchen of Dominic’s penthouse, replaying Luca’s words over and over. “Dominic sacrificed his own brother for power.” It felt impossible to believe, but the way Luca had said it left a gnawing feeling in her stomach that she couldn’t shake. Her hands trembled as she wrapped them around a mug of tea, her mind racing. If there was even a shred of truth in Luca’s words, it meant she’d built her love on a foundation of secrets. Could she trust Dominic?The sound of the elevator doors opening snapped her back to the present. She watched as Dominic strode into the room, his face hard, his eyes unreadable. He stopped when he saw her sitting there, his expression softening.“You’re still up,” he said quietly, setting down his keys.Sasha forced a smile, though she felt her heart pound painfully in her chest. “I couldn’t sleep.”Dominic frowned, sensing her hesitation. He crossed the room and reached for her hand. “Something’s wrong. I can see it in your eyes. Talk t
Last Updated : 2024-10-30In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire Confessions
Sasha arrived at the upscale, dimly lit bar where Dominic had asked her to meet him. She wrapped her arms around herself as she stood by the entrance, her pulse racing with anticipation and dread. Her thoughts were a maze of questions, doubts, and lingering love, each one cutting deeper as she waited. Dominic had asked her to come so he could “explain everything.” But after everything she’d heard, she wasn’t sure what “everything” even entailed anymore.Just as she was about to turn and leave, unsure if she was ready to face him, Dominic stepped out of the shadows. His gaze met hers, intense and unwavering, and for a moment, she forgot to breathe. He was magnetic, his presence a force that pulled her in, despite everything that had happened.“Sasha,” he said softly, his voice laced with a mix of relief and tension.She nodded, swallowing the lump in her throat as she tried to steady herself. “Dominic.”They walked in silence to a private booth, the weight of unspoken words filling the

The hours leading up to her meeting with Luca were the longest of Sasha’s life. She tried to keep herself busy, but nothing could quiet the storm of thoughts and emotions swirling in her mind. She missed Dominic, his touch, his warmth, the way he could make her feel secure even when her world was in chaos. But now, with Luca’s words echoing in her head, every memory of Dominic was tinged with doubt and betrayal.By nightfall, Sasha had changed three times, unable to decide what felt right. She finally settled on a black trench coat over dark jeans and a sweater, hoping the nondescript outfit would blend into the shadows of the city. Luca had chosen a secluded spot, a rundown warehouse by the docks, and as she stepped out of her car, she felt an eerie chill in the air. The silence of the deserted area, the faint sound of water lapping against the dock—it all felt like the setting for a scene she wasn’t sure she wanted to play.“Sasha.” Luca’s voice cut through the darkness as he emerge

The air was thick with tension as Sasha and Dominic sat across from each other in the penthouse, their earlier embrace fading into a distant memory. She held his hand, but the warmth was marred by the storm raging in her heart. Dominic’s promise to leave his world behind meant everything, yet the looming reality of his past felt like a weight neither of them could shake.“You understand what this means, Dominic?” Sasha whispered, her eyes searching his. “Walking away… it’s not just leaving. It’s making enemies.”Dominic’s jaw tightened, his hand instinctively curling around hers. “I know. But I’ll do whatever it takes to keep you safe. They can take the empire, the money—I don’t care about that if it means losing you.”The intensity in his gaze was fierce, almost desperate, as if he was holding onto her like a lifeline. And for the first time, she realized just how deeply Dominic had buried himself in this life he was now vowing to abandon. A twinge of fear echoed through her, but she

In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire The Nexus Beckons
Sasha woke to an overwhelming stillness. The chaos of the forest was gone, replaced by an eerie calm that pressed down on her like a suffocating weight. Her eyes fluttered open, and she found herself lying on a smooth, glowing surface. It wasn’t earth, wood, or stone, but something otherworldly—almost alive.Ethan was sprawled beside her, his chest rising and falling in shallow breaths. Kael lay a few feet away, his wounds still seeping blood, but his glowing eyes were fixed on the strange expanse around them.The light from the ground illuminated a cavernous space that seemed to stretch infinitely in all directions. The walls were adorned with pulsating veins of golden light, and the air thrummed with an energy that was both alluring and terrifying.“Where… are we?” Sasha whispered, her voice echoing softly.“The nexus,” Kael rasped, pushing himself up with a wince. “We’ve crossed into its heart.”Ethan groaned, sitting up and running a hand through his disheveled hair. “So, what now
In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire The End?
The morning light broke over the horizon, casting long shadows across the forest as Ethan, Sasha, and Kael stood at the edge of the clearing. The air was heavy with tension, each of them lost in their own thoughts. Sasha hadn’t slept, her mind racing with questions about Kael’s motives. Ethan’s jaw was clenched, his body taut with the weight of his decision to trust the enigmatic stranger.Kael, however, seemed entirely at ease. He leaned against a tree, his glowing eyes scanning the forest as if he could see things they couldn’t. “The nexus is two days’ walk from here,” he said, breaking the silence. “But the forest won’t make it easy. The Hollow protects its secrets.”“What does that mean?” Sasha asked, her voice sharp.Kael’s smirk returned, irritatingly confident. “It means the forest is alive, sweetheart. It senses intruders, especially ones carrying the Hollow’s mark. We’ll be tested before we reach the nexus. You’d better hope you’re strong enough to survive.”Sasha bristled at
In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire Loyalty
The fire crackled low in the hearth, casting dancing shadows across the dimly lit room. Sasha sat at the edge of the plush sofa, her hands trembling as she cradled the mug of tea Ethan had made for her. It had gone cold long ago, untouched. Across from her, Ethan leaned against the window, his silhouette outlined by the pale moonlight. His silence was deafening, each passing second amplifying the weight of his confession.“The Hollow… it’s inside me.”Those words reverberated in Sasha’s mind, an unrelenting drumbeat of dread. She had faced horrors before—Ethan’s enemies, the claws of the forest, and the blood-soaked trails they’d traversed—but this? This was something she didn’t know how to fight.“How long have you known?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Ethan’s broad shoulders tensed, his gaze fixed on the moon outside. “Longer than I care to admit,” he said finally, his voice low and raw. “It started after my father died. At first, it was… whispers. A feeling of someth
In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire Beast Within
The growl reverberated through the air, low and menacing, sending chills racing down Sasha’s spine. Ethan was in front of her in an instant, his body tense and ready, his eyes gleaming with an almost feral light. Marcus moved to the side, positioning himself to flank whatever was lurking in the shadows.The whispers that had plagued them since entering the Hollow had grown silent, replaced by an oppressive stillness. Even the air seemed heavier, crackling with an unseen energy.“What is it?” Sasha whispered, her fingers tightening around the dagger. The weapon felt alive in her grip, pulsing faintly as if in warning.“I don’t know,” Ethan murmured, his voice a low growl. “But it’s not friendly.”A shadow moved at the edge of the clearing, too fast to track. Sasha’s breath hitched as her eyes darted to follow it. Whatever it was, it was big—larger than any wolf she’d ever seen—and it moved with a predatory grace that set her nerves on edge.Another growl sounded, this time from the opp
In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire Gathering Storm
The morning dawned cold and gray, the air heavy with a sense of foreboding. Sasha barely slept, her dreams haunted by flashes of fire, blood, and the glowing dagger. She sat by the window, staring out at the misty forest, her fingers lightly brushing the weapon resting on her lap. Its faint hum was a constant reminder of its ominous purpose.Ethan entered the room quietly, his hair tousled from sleep. His gaze softened when he saw her, but there was an edge of worry in his eyes. “You didn’t sleep,” he said, his voice low.Sasha shook her head, her lips pressed into a thin line. “I couldn’t. Every time I closed my eyes… I kept hearing the Oracle. I kept seeing that word—‘Choose.’” She turned to face him, her eyes glistening. “How do I choose, Ethan? How can I pick who lives and who dies?”Ethan crossed the room and knelt beside her, his hands covering hers. “You don’t have to decide anything right now. We’ll figure it out. Together.”She wanted to believe him, but the weight of the pro
In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire Unseen Threads
The aftermath of Seraphina’s attack hung over them like a thick fog. The silence in the cabin was deafening as Sasha stared at the silver dagger resting on the table. Its blade shimmered faintly, almost as if it pulsed with life, yet no one dared touch it.Ethan paced back and forth, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides. Marcus stood at the door, his stance alert, his eyes scanning the dark forest beyond. Alex leaned against the wall, his face pale, his injuries from earlier still taking their toll.“We need answers,” Ethan growled, his voice low and dangerous. “Seraphina isn’t going to stop. And now she’s made it clear Sasha is the center of this—” He turned to look at her, his piercing gaze softening for just a moment. “We can’t keep stumbling in the dark.”Sasha swallowed hard, her chest tight with a mixture of fear and guilt. She had drawn Seraphina’s attention, had brought danger crashing down on them again. But beneath that fear, something stronger stirred—a spark of
In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire A Monster or Savior?
The forest was eerily quiet as they moved through it, the shadows stretching long and menacing under the pale moonlight. Sasha’s mind churned, her heart still racing from the power that had erupted from her. She clutched Ethan’s hand tightly, the warmth of his touch grounding her as they pushed forward.Alex had finally stirred, groaning as Marcus helped him limp alongside the group. “I’ll live,” Alex muttered, though his wince betrayed the pain he was enduring.Ethan glanced back at him, his jaw tight. “We can’t stop. Ronan won’t wait long before making his next move.”Sasha nodded, though a wave of guilt crashed over her. Every step she took away from that cave felt like a betrayal—not of Ronan, but of herself. His words lingered in her mind, unshakable: You can’t fight who you are.But who was she? A monster? A savior? Or something far worse?The clearing ahead shimmered with the faint glow of the lake. Marcus motioned for them to stop. “We’ll rest here for a moment. We need to reg
In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire The Aftermath
Sasha woke to the scent of damp earth and the faint crackle of a fire. Her body ached like she’d been dragged through the underworld and back. She blinked against the dim light, her vision clearing as she took in the cave walls around her. It wasn’t the cavern from before—this was smaller, cozier. A pile of blankets cushioned her beneath her body.“Sasha?” Ethan’s voice came softly from nearby.She turned her head to see him sitting at the fire, shirtless, with bruises and cuts painting his skin. His eyes were locked on her, a mixture of relief and concern softening his usually intense gaze.“How long was I out?” she croaked, her voice raw.“Two days.” Ethan shifted, moving to sit beside her. He reached out, brushing his fingers gently against her cheek. “You scared the hell out of me.”Two days. The weight of it hit her, along with the memories of what had happened. The cavern. The wolves. Ronan. She sat up abruptly, ignoring the screaming protest of her muscles. “Ronan—”“He’s gone,
In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire The Last Stand
The forest seemed to stretch endlessly as Sasha followed the stranger, her heartbeat thundering in her chest. Moonlight slanted through the branches above, casting jagged shadows on the ground. The others trailed behind her, weapons ready, their trust in this mysterious man stretched thin.Ethan stayed close, his arm brushing hers every few steps, his protective instincts at war with his suspicion. “We shouldn’t be doing this,” he muttered under his breath, his voice low enough that only she could hear. “This guy stinks of trouble.”“I know,” Sasha whispered back, though she didn’t slow her pace. “But if there’s even a chance he’s telling the truth, we can’t ignore it. We don’t have time.”The stranger, walking ahead of them, shot a glance over his shoulder, as though he could hear them despite the distance. His scarred face looked carved from stone, but his sharp, yellow eyes glinted in the dark. “Hurry up. We’re close.”“To what?” Alex barked, his voice sharp with distrust.“You’ll
