In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire The Edge of Fury
The air between Sasha and Dominic was charged, thick with a mutual determination to end the cycle of control Isabella held over their lives. They stood together in her apartment, eyes locked, both brimming with anger, lust, and the undeniable pull toward each other.Dominic brushed his thumb over the fading scratches on Sasha’s jaw, his expression darkening. “You shouldn’t have gone after her alone,” he murmured, his voice rough with a mix of fury and something else—something that made Sasha’s heart race. “She’s dangerous, Sasha. She’ll stop at nothing.”“I couldn’t sit back and wait, Dominic. Not while she’s doing everything she can to ruin you.” Her voice was a whisper, barely audible over the pounding in her chest as his hand lingered on her cheek, his touch sending a thrill through her.Dominic’s hand slipped down, brushing her collarbone, his eyes clouded with intensity. “Then let me protect you,” he said, his voice laced with a quiet plea as his gaze burned into hers.Sasha’s re

The night air was heavy with the storm that had been brewing for days. Sasha leaned against the railing of the cabin’s deck, her gaze fixed on the horizon as lightning split the sky. Each crack of thunder felt like the echo of her heartbeat, racing from the events of the night before.Dominic joined her, slipping his arms around her waist, pulling her into the warmth of his body. “You’re quiet,” he murmured, his voice a low hum against her ear. “Are you okay?”She sighed, leaning into him. “It’s a lot to process, Dom. It feels like we’re finally free, yet there’s something unfinished. Something I can’t quite shake.”His fingers brushed the back of her neck, easing her tension. “Then let me help you forget for tonight,” he whispered, his lips brushing her jaw, the warmth of his breath sending a thrill through her. The night faded around them as he deepened the kiss, his touch a comforting reminder that they had made it through the worst.Inside, Dominic led her to the fireside, the fla

The days following Isabella’s message were thick with tension. Sasha could hardly sleep, constantly looking over her shoulder. Every sound seemed magnified, every shadow stretched longer and darker. She and Dominic worked tirelessly, going over every plan, every exit strategy, but the weight of Isabella’s threat bore down on them like a storm cloud that wouldn’t break.One evening, as rain hammered the roof of their secluded cabin, Sasha found herself sitting alone at the edge of the bed. The exhaustion was overwhelming, but it was more than just physical. The uncertainty of it all had started to chip away at her spirit. She had never felt so trapped, even when she’d been with Isabella.Dominic entered the room, pausing as he took in the sight of her with her head in her hands, her shoulders hunched. “Hey, are you okay?” he asked gently, moving to sit beside her.She looked up, her eyes tired but resolute. “How did we get here, Dom? It’s like every step forward pulls us two steps back

The cabin felt unnaturally still after Sasha and Dominic prepared themselves for the night ahead. The air was heavy with unspoken fears and the anticipation of the inevitable confrontation. The message from Isabella had been clear: she was coming, and there would be no escape this time.Sasha stared at herself in the bathroom mirror, her reflection pale and drawn. She barely recognized the woman looking back at her—the fear in her eyes, the weight of exhaustion etched into every line of her face. She gripped the edges of the sink, willing herself to focus.You’ve fought this far. You’ve endured. Don’t let her break you now.Dominic’s voice called from the other room, snapping her out of her thoughts. “Sasha, we need to go over the plan one more time.”She turned off the faucet and walked into the living room, where Dominic stood by the table, a map of the property spread out before him. His face was tense, his eyes scanning the layout of the cabin and its surroundings. The shadows of

Sasha knelt beside Dominic, her trembling hands pressed against the bleeding wound in his side. His breathing was shallow, his skin pale under the harsh moonlight. Around them, Isabella’s men closed in, their weapons raised and their faces shadowed by malice.“Dominic, stay with me,” Sasha whispered, her voice breaking. She could feel his life slipping through her fingers, the warmth of his blood soaking into her hands.“Enough of this,” Isabella’s voice cut through the tense air, sharp and commanding. She stepped forward, her heels crunching against the forest floor. Her expression was one of cold triumph, a predator toying with her prey.“Do you see now, Sasha?” Isabella said, spreading her arms in mock benevolence. “This is what defying me leads to—pain, suffering, loss. All you had to do was stay in line, and none of this would’ve happened.”Sasha’s gaze shot up, her eyes blazing with fury. “You don’t get to rewrite history, Isabella. You did this. You’re the one who created this

Sasha’s hands trembled on the steering wheel as the car roared down the uneven dirt road, the tires skidding around tight corners. The night pressed in from all sides, darkness swallowing the forest beyond the flicker of the headlights. Beside her, Dominic slumped against the seat, his breathing shallow, each labored gasp tearing at her resolve.“Hold on, Dominic,” she whispered, her voice shaking. “Just hold on.”His head lolled slightly, his eyes fluttering open just enough to meet hers. “You’re… a terrible driver,” he rasped, a weak smile ghosting across his lips.A bubble of laughter escaped her despite the fear gripping her chest. “You’re one to talk. Last week, you nearly crashed us into a tree, remember?”Dominic’s lips twitched, but the effort was too much. His eyelids drooped again, and Sasha’s chest tightened.“No, no, no,” she pleaded, reaching over to shake his shoulder. “Stay awake! Talk to me, Dominic!”But his only response was a faint groan, his head tilting away. Sash

The cabin was dark and quiet, save for the faint crackling of the old fireplace. Sasha sat on the floor beside Dominic’s makeshift bed, her knees drawn to her chest. Her eyes were red-rimmed, her cheeks stained with dried tears. She hadn’t slept—not since Dominic’s breathing had grown so faint that it felt like she was holding her own breath with every exhale he took.“Please,” she whispered, her voice trembling as she leaned closer to him. “Don’t leave me, Dominic. Not now. Not like this.”His face was pale, the sharp angles of his features stark against the blood-soaked bandages wrapped around his torso. She gently brushed a strand of dark hair from his forehead, her fingers trembling. For the first time in her life, Sasha felt utterly powerless.Alex sat across the room, his expression unreadable as he cleaned his weapons and kept watch. His presence offered no comfort, only a cold reminder of how close they were to losing everything.“I’ve fought so hard,” Sasha murmured, her voic
Last Updated : 2024-11-20In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire Safe House
The safe house was quiet when Sasha woke, the early light streaming in through the cracks in the boarded windows. Her body ached, exhaustion weighing her down, but her mind was sharper than it had been in days. She had made her decision. Today wasn’t about survival—it was about vengeance.Pulling herself out of the cot, she dressed quickly in the tactical clothes Marco had provided: black cargo pants, a fitted long-sleeve shirt, and sturdy boots. The weight of the knife strapped to her thigh felt both foreign and reassuring.She stepped into the main room to find Alex already awake, pacing by the table where the map still lay. Marco leaned against the wall, his cigarette sending tendrils of smoke into the air.“You’re up,” Alex said, glancing at her. “We’re leaving in thirty minutes.”Sasha nodded, her gaze fixed on the map. The red circle marking Isabella’s stronghold seemed to pulse with a life of its own, mocking her.“You’re sure about this?” Marco asked, his tone skeptical. “Once

In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire Roars
Sasha’s head spun as she was dragged through the forest, Ronan’s iron grip unrelenting. The world blurred around her, trees and shadows melding into one as the cold air bit at her skin.“Let me go!” she yelled, clawing at his hand, but he didn’t even flinch.“Struggle all you want, little mate,” Ronan sneered, his voice dripping with cruelty. “It won’t change anything.”Sasha’s stomach churned at the word. Mate. The way he said it made her skin crawl. “I’m not your mate!”Ronan chuckled darkly. “Oh, but you could be. You’re more powerful than I imagined. That energy inside you—it’s rare. Precious. Kael doesn’t deserve it. He doesn’t deserve you.”Sasha’s eyes burned with fury, but deep down, fear gnawed at her. What was this energy he spoke of? And why did it make her a target?“You think taking me will make you stronger?” she spat. “Kael will come for me. He’ll never let you win.”Ronan stopped abruptly, spinning her around to face him. His red eyes glowed with malice, his grip tight
In the arms of the Mafia Billionaire Revenge
The forest stretched out before them like an endless labyrinth of shadows and whispers. Sasha couldn’t shake the unease clinging to her, even as Kael’s hand rested protectively on the small of her back. They had emerged from the cavern victorious, but the weight of the ominous warning still hung in the air.Ethan walked ahead, his silence louder than any words he could have spoken. His jaw was tight, his shoulders tense, and Sasha knew he was wrestling with the same doubts that plagued her.Kael stopped abruptly, his golden eyes scanning the treeline. “We’re not alone,” he muttered, his voice low and sharp.Ethan whipped around, his hand instinctively reaching for the weapon strapped to his belt. “What is it?”Sasha’s heart leapt into her throat, and she pressed closer to Kael. The silence of the forest was almost suffocating, broken only by the faint rustle of leaves in the wind.“Stay close to me,” Kael said, his tone leaving no room for argument.They moved cautiously, their senses
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
