KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA SIXTY THREE | An Irresistible Offer
[ZARINA]When I walk out of the restaurant with my new family, Vladimir is not where I left him. The spot where he parked his car is empty. I won’t lie. I was hoping to see him one last time. Now that I know a few things about my family—something which is more than I ever knew—it’s not complicated to understand his reasons for not staying. And as much as I respect his thoughtfulness, I wish he stayed longer.A hand on my shoulder wakes me from my stupor. My gaze shifts from the road across to the owner of the hand. My mother.“Ready?” she asks. It’s only then a long queue of glossy black cars pulls up in front of us. Diego and Dominic are the first to step forward. While Dominic rounds one of them and switches places with the driver, Diego opens the door to the backseat of the same car and gives us a nod.During the entire ride, each one of them tries to make small talk. But it dies down sooner than any of us want. Diego is the one who tries the most. Dominic only rolls his eyes, some
KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA SIXTY FOUR | Head In The Game
[AURORA]I should have never returned.I should have never listened to what mom wanted from me. Did she not see how uncomfortable and peculiar her attempt at this family reunion was? As if Zarina turning out to be some long-forgotten twin sister wasn’t odd enough, now she expected us to hug our differences out. What the actual fuck was going on?It was wrong of me to cave into her demands. A mistake that now I’m left to pay. I was gone. I was free. All I had to do was mind my business. But no, of course, I have to make Diego aware of my whereabouts. Why? Because I was stupid enough to think there should be someone to know a way to reach me if, for God’s sake, something awful happened and my presence was badly needed. I’ll be blunt. I expected that day to be mom’s funeral. Or something as important. To appear for a family reunion was the last thing on my mind. But mom could be disturbingly convincing if she set her mind to something. And this while, she wasn’t ready to take a no for an
KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA SIXTY FIVE | A Fair Trade
[ZARINA]“Please shut your dumb whining for the god-fucking-sake!” Lorenzo growls at mother who has been constantly trying to smack some sense into his head. But he is one stubborn man and let’s be honest, a little dangerous too at the moment.If we met under different circumstances, I would have never believed him to be so corrupt and vicious. Lorenzo has the face of an attractive man. He is tall and lean and has enough impressive muscles to have any girl swoon in his proximity. His eyes are strikingly big and green. There is a sharp jawline that can cut diamonds. If he were really my brother, I would have been so proud of him, and would have bragged to the others about him all day long. But he is not what he is supposed to be. He is not my brother. He is related to none of us in the room. He is the son of Angela Moretti, the woman solely responsible for our present nuisance.In the last few hours, if there is anything I have learned about Lorenzo, he is way more tyrannical and uneth
KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA SIXTY SIX | La Mia Principessa!
[ZARINA]“What do you think is going to happen?” I ask mother, barely able to repress the worry and dread pooling in my stomach from showing on my face.Lorenzo left soon after Aurora’s call. More than half of his men left with him, too. Diego was forced to go with him. And even though I have barely known him in this brief span of time, I fear for his life. He is my little brother, after all. I don’t want to miss any more bonding time with my family. I don’t want him to get hurt.The dread tightening its grip around my heart warns me continuously, something awful is about to take place. I fear. I worry oh so much.“I don’t know,” mother’s voice is hardly a whisper, but it’s laced with the same worry that I can feel slinking up and down my spine. Just a hundred times worse. She sinks her face into her hands, her shoulders shaking. “This is all my fault.”“Please stop saying that!” Dominic snaps almost immediately, glaring at the reminder of Lorenzo’s men still guarding the mansion.

[VLADIMIR]“Great. God, that’s good news,” I say over the phone. Vector on the other side. He just informed me that Xavier had rescued Zarina and her family. It brings me so much relief, I can’t fucking express it in words.“Alright, Vector, now listen to me carefully. Here’s what you need to do before you even think about anything else at all.” I wait for him to make sure he is ready. “Drop everyone at the mansion right away. Double the security. NO. Triple it. Contact the cleaners and make sure they wipe every small piece of evidence of your presence on the Galante’s property. We don’t want this to come back to us,” he seems to agree and so I nod. “Let me know whenever you’re done, and if there is any update.”As soon as I disconnect the phone, Aurora cautions me about her presence. Which, surprisingly, doesn’t bother me as much as it used to once. Back when I was obsessed with her. Or so I thought. Now, when I think about those days and how I felt about her—it feels wrong.“Was tha
KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA SIXTY EIGHT | Divorced or Widowed?
[VLADIMIR]“What the fuck, Michael. Are you his bitch now?” I spit out bitterly.But instead of being humiliated, he shakes his head, the corner of his wrinkly lips tipping up in a crooked grin.“Don’t be so ridiculous, Mir,” he pats my head as if I was still a fucking kid before standing back up. I keep my gaze nailed on him, burning him with the flames my chest sizzles with. A powerful impulse to snag him by the collar excites my limbs. But it’s hard to do anything with so many hands and feet holding me down.Fuck, if I have seen this coming! I—I did not.Michael?Why would he cross me like that? How could he? For as long as I remember, he has been a prominent part of our family. My father counted on him with everything he had, even more than I or my mother. Michael was like a brother my father never had. He is aware of our vulnerabilities and strengths. He knows where to hit for us to hurt the most. And it scares me. It scares me like shit. So much, my limbs are falling numb and my
KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA SIXTY NINE | Let Them Flow
“Wish I were fairy godmother, I could have changed even fates of girls.”*3 Months Later*[ZARINA]“You look beautiful.”The honey rays of the sun drifted through the glass window and highlighted the greys in mother’s hair. It had to be the first time I could see the old age catching up to her in the last three months. The dark circles beneath her eyes appeared darker and heavier. Despite the light brush of makeup resting upon her face, she looked unusually less of herself and more of a woman who needed a long break from the nightmares haunting her day and night.Lacing her fingers with mine, she gave my hand an affectionate squeeze.“You know, I can still try and talk to him. Maybe he would see—”“He wouldn’t, mother,” I stopped her before she got hopes of herself high. And mine. “Nothing you say would make him change his mind. So why waste your breath?”There was no way to sway Lorenzo, not after our wasted millions of efforts in the attempt. He was determined to go through with thi
KIDNAPPED BY THE MAFIA SEVENTY | Not My Fight
[ZARINA]The music played in the air. The rays of the sun choreographed a soft and warm dance of their own. I tried to suppress the anxiety burning like an ulcer in my stomach—causing the lump in my throat to swell a size bigger and dry my mouth like a desert—but it only worked as oil to the fire. Making me feel even worse. More...miserable.On any other day, the thought of getting married would have filled my body with butterflies, making me all tingly and pink. A little shy maybe. But aware of the fact the thought had only crossed my mind twice or a maximum of thrice in my entire life, screamed a lot about the priorities that governed me throughout my life. A wedding was never one of them. And perhaps that’s the reason when the elegant doors of the chapel opened, cool air welcoming me with a touch of warmth from the eyes of the spectators, I felt unprepared.Hesitant.Uncomfortably prickly.The distant sound of someone clearing their throat yanked me back to reality and all of a sud
