~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧“I have a bunch of incompetent assholes as workers. Byron was supposed to get the car checked out,” I said with irritation, climbing out of the car.“I already texted a guard from the club to bring us a new car. He’ll take this to the mechanic,” Carlo said.“We’re meeting a potential business partner. We’re already an hour late as it is.”“Boss, you should go sit in the car. The other car will be here soon.”Frustrated, I sat in the car. It took thirty minutes before the other car came, and when Carlo was about to drive off, I got a message on my phone.“Turn this car around,” I said.“Boss, are you alright?”“Turn the fucking car around.”“But, we already late as it is.”“If you question my ordBab terkait

VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~ ♧♧♧♧♧♧ “Tino, what is this nonsense? Who gave you the right to shoot all those people outside my house?” Aria snarled immediately I threw open the front door. “Why are you stained with blood?” “Those men outside died because they refused to tell about Fiore’s whereabouts. Except you want your fate to be like theirs, I suggest you start talking,” I said, heading straight for Fiore’s office while she followed me. Just like I’d thought, it was empty. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I am your father’s wife and there’s nothing you can do to me.” I backed her up against a wall. “It wouldn’t cost me anything to put a bullet in your head, but I am giving you a chance to free yourself. Where is he?” “He left on his private jet. I don’t know where he is.” She looked like she was being honest, so I stepped away from her. “Get out.” “Excuse me? This is my husband’s house. You have no right to order me around.” “You can

RAVENNA ~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤“So, you didn’t die,” I teased Drake, taking the seat next to his bed. He glared at me, but there was no malice behind it. “Why do I feel like you wanted me dead? You will not get rid of me that easily, I tell you.” “Right. I still have to prove to you I can bake and cook.” “Well, we got plenty of time. You can bring the treats to me. I don’t mind.” “I will. Tomorrow. I just got back from a party with Gina.” “Nice dress.” “You think?” I looked down at my dress. “I think it’s too sparkly, but Alaina said it was gorgeous, but I think that’s because she was the one that got the dress for me.” “I’m pretty sure that’s why she said so. So, why did you go to a party with Gina?” “We’re looking for my father’s bodyguard. He might know something. We didn’t find him, but we found his brother. Sadly, his brother didn’t also know anything about him. According to him, they’ve been estranged for more than a decade.” “You shoul

VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧I walked into the living room to find a sleeping Jasmine in Sofia’s arms “You didn’t tell me you had a child. Where’s her mother?” Sofia asked. “She’s not mine. Her mother is dead.” Sofia gasped. “Poor baby. Are you going to keep her?” “I haven’t figured that out yet. I’ll be really busy for a while, so I won’t be able to look after her.” “I can do that. I can take care of her. Since I’m the only one at home, we can keep each other company. She’ll need a nursery.” “I bought some things for the baby. Byron will set that up for you tomorrow. I need to get some sleep.” “Okay. Goodnight.” “Goodnight.” I made my way to my room, coming to a stop when I saw the painting Carlo had brought wedged against the wall. I picked it up, examining the painting for the first time since he had brought it here.I didn’t see the fuss about the painting. It looked like something Fiore would splash money on just for the fun of it.

VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧“Keeping an eye on you? Why would I?” Bradshaw asked, glaring at me. “Same thing I’m asking myself. How did you know I set some hounds loose on a man? I only told that to Fiore in the message I sent to him this morning since he wanted to know how his men died. Are you, by some chance, working with Fiore?” “W- what? W- why would I do that?” He sputtered. “Same thing I’m asking myself. How do you know what I did to those men?” “So you do admit to killing those men?” Bradshaw deflected my question. “I never denied it. What’s your point? Oh, I forgot. You stated that already, and it was just a pile of bullshit.” “How dare you disrespect me like that?” Bradshaw snarled, pushing forward in his chair. “Well, since we’re hellbent on sticking our noses in each other’s businesses, why don’t we talk about how Lucian Sterling died at your party?” I shot back. Eloise had always been a peaceful woman but had it been Bradshaw’

VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧“Tino, someone has been knocking on your door for minutes now,” Ravenna said. “I don’t see how I’m going to go meet said person with you splayed over me like a starfish. Besides, the knocking has stopped.” “It could be your mom.” “Or Byron. The baby definitely cannot be the one.” Ravenna scoffed, slapping my chest and climbing off me. “Don’t try to be a smartass.” She looked at something across the room. “When did you get a painting in your room? That reminds me. Nero wanted me to take a painting from you.” I raised a brow at her. “Take or steal?” “Take. Definitely take. I was going to, but then things happened, and you helped me. I couldn’t do it, so I told him no.” “That was why you wanted to sleep with me so badly that night. So you could have a look at it, and probably get a fake one to replace the original.” “That was my exact thought. How did you know that?” “I knew about it from the start. I just want

RAVENNA~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤“I thought you said you were going to be busy today. What was so important, you had to pull me away from my house?” I asked as I kicked the door to his office shut behind me. He turned away from the glass wall. “You wanted to leave here for a while, didn’t you?” “I think your memory is quite touchy. You said you were busy.” He curled an arm around my waist, pulling me against his chest. “I’m trying to do something nice for you and you’re questioning my sanity.” “I wasn’t before, but I think I might now. Why am I here?” “Because you drove yourself here. Isn’t that obvious?” “You have a serious problem,” I said as he hoisted me up, leaving me with no choice but to wrap my legs around him. “You wanted to leave for a couple of days. I have a place we can head to.” I grinned at him. “Careful, Mr. Berlusconi, or people might think you have a heart,” I teased. There was no doubt I was the only one he showed this side of him

VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧“You have the gold. I have the market. In exchange for that, I get a cut out of the money.” I leaned back in my chair, chuckling to myself. “And you expect me to say yes to this because you think you have the ultimate blackmail material? I don’t know who you think you’re talking to, but I’m not Ciro or Fiore.” I knew letting her in was a bad idea, but Ravenna had insisted. Now I was the one suffering the consequences of listening to her. “I know. That’s why I’m here. You’re a powerful man. That’s the type of man I need as an ally to achieve my goals, and you also need a powerful ally by your side.” “And that’s you?” “Yes. Soon, Gina will step down. I’ll have control over The Sisterhood.” “No. Whatever it is you want to tell anyone, go on.” I’ll bet she had nothing on me and was just going on what Ciro must have slipped out during late-night pillow talks. Another thing that bugged me was how Ciro knew about the g

VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧“Note to self. Question the credibility of Anthony’s information before jumping into action,” I said to myself. “It was just this one time. I helped you find that Sawyer dude, and I helped Ravenna find the man that tried to kill her,” Anthony said with a grin. “It’s not my fault we’re trapped in this...” He trailed off likely because he didn’t know where we were. “Basement?” He asked. “You were the one that made me drop my guns. I knew I shouldn’t have listened to you.” “I didn’t ask you to!” “We’re in this situation all because of you.” Backtrack to five hours ago. We had arrived at the island, and Anthony had taken us to his villa. An hour after that, he had suggested we go meet the jeweler. When I set my eyes on him, I knew there had been something off. Especially when he’d asked us to drop our weapons. I was strongly against it, but stupid Anthony had dropped his and waltzed right into the house wher

MAFIA HEIRESS EPILOGUE
RAVENNA~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤ FOURTEEN YEARS LATER... “Don’t call. Don’t text. Wait until we’re back. Understood?” I asked Jasmine, fixing the last of my makeup. “What if the house is on fire or there’s an earthquake?” She asked, crossing her arms. I paused with the mascara wand to my eye. “Why would the house be on fire?” “You know the sons you have. Domenico in particular. He broke the windshield of Uncle Ciro’s car when we visited the last time. Or the time he beat some kid up at school because he called him frost. The kid wasn’t wrong, though. His hair is white. I could go on and on, and you and Dad won’t get to leave for your meeting. We’re not raising normal humans, Mom. We’re raising wrestling champions.” A laugh broke out of me. She was right. Our first son was a bundle of trouble and his two younger brothers took after him, wreaking havoc around the house. “Okay, fine. You ca

VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧“He’s amazing, isn’t he?” Ravenna whispered, looking down at our son in her arms. “He’s perfect.” “I can’t believe we made him. Having him in my arms is worth all my sleepless nights. And yours.” I shrugged. “I don’t sleep that much, anyway. You were amazing.” “Where’s Jasmine?” “Outside with Sofia and the rest. They’re dying to see you, but if you’re not up for it, I can turn them away. I suggest them waiting until you’re out of the hospital.” “I’m kind of exhausted right now, but Zypher will strangle you if you deny her entrance.” “I can handle her. I’ll go deliver the news to them.” “Thank you.” “Can we see the baby now?” Zypher asked. “No. Ravenna is tired right now. You can see her when she gets home later today.” She narrowed her eyes at me. “Why do I have a feeling this is all you and not Ravenna?” I shrugged. “There’s no way of finding out, is there? Except you plan on causing a scene in

RAVENNA~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤MONTHS LATER... “Isn’t this Anthony’s car? What’s he doing here? Didn’t Zypher tell him I wasn’t home?” I asked as Drake helped me out of the car. “She knows you’re returning today. They probably came to check on you.” “That has to wait until tomorrow. I’m dead on my feet.” “I’d offer to carry you, but you’d probably slap the shit out of me.” “True that.” Drake shook his head at me. “Stubborn woman.” “Besides, you couldn’t carry me if I agreed to it.” “I lift weights in the gym every morning. I think I could manage, since it’s just a short distance.” “It’s all fun and games until we both come tumbling down the stairs.” He threw his head back in laughter. “Have zero faith in me, Ray?” I pushed open the front door. “I don’t trust myself to make it up the stairs without dozing off.” “Sneak up the stairs. I’ll handle Anthony and Zypher. Since Anthony is here, he’s probably in the kitchen.” “Thanks for

RAVENNA ~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤“The people want a word, Ravenna,” Uncle Leo said. “Word got around. They have been pinning the death of every member of The eredità on you.” I turned on my stool to face him. “Well, they’re not wrong. I did kill those men.” “If you admit this to them without a background story, they’re going to be angry, and might vote to have you removed from your position as leader.” “That will only happen if I choose to step down. Otherwise, they’re stuck with me. Like I’ve said in the past, this isn’t a fucking democracy, but I’ll entertain their little tantrum. Whoever has a question for me can write it on a piece of paper alongside their contact information. Have some men gather the questions, and I’ll send out replies.” “Will do,” Uncle Leo said before walking out of my room. There was a knock on my door before someone pushed it open and in walked Alaina. “I’d have come in earlier, but I didn’t think you’d want to see me.” I rose fr
MAFIA HEIRESS CHAPTER NINETY ONE
RAVENNA~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤Not again. That was what I thought when I saw Valentino’s lifeless body on the bed of a truck, a pool of blood gathering beneath him. “Ravenna,” Uncle Leo’s voice called out. His figure was blurry from the tears swimming in my eyes as he reached for me, pulling me into his arms. “Let it all out, Ravenna,” he mumbled. The softness of his voice did me in. I wrapped my arms around him, crying my eyes out for a long minute. “It’s okay. I heard about your pregnancy. Is the baby okay?” He asked. “Yes.” “Okay. Everything will be okay.” “No, it won’t. Valentino isn’t here. He needs to be here. It’s his kid. He should be here. I- I can’t do this alone.” “You have me, Ravenna. Until he wakes up, you have me.” “What if he never wakes up?” I asked, my anxiety skyrocketing. “What if he doesn’t wake up before I have the baby? I can’t do this. I don’t even know if he wants the baby. We never spoke about a baby. What if

RAVENNA ~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤“Where’s my uncle?” “Oh, dear Leonardo. He’s a great man, but just like your parents, he’s easily trusting. That’s a no-no.” “What. The. Fuck. Did. You. Do. To. Him? I’m on my last nerve right now. Don’t drag out your suffering, Ilda.” “Knocked him out with a bat. He should be awake by now. There’s nothing you can do. We both know you won’t pull the trigger.” That was where she was mistaken. I wanted nothing more than to bury a knife in her chest and watch the life leave her body. I couldn’t believe this was a woman I’d killed for. A woman I had been willing to risk everything for. “What are you gaining by doing this?” She acted like a sweet woman that I didn’t see her doing a thing like this. I didn’t even see the connection between the woman who had raised me and the one in front of me. “Like Carlo told Valentino, the Costas took something away from us. Matteo used my sister, and he tossed her to the side like she was

VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧I came to a halt when I found Fiore on a chair, Ilda on her knees next to him with his gun pointed at her head. Where the hell was Leonardo? “Surprised to see me here this early? I know I’m an hour early, so why don’t we get this meeting started?” He asked, his lips curling up in a sly smile. “Please, Tino. Just give him whatever he wants. I don’t want him to kill me,” Ilda wailed, tears streaming down her cheeks. She had bruises around her neck and on her arms. They looked new, which meant he took her recently. “I’m giving you one last chance to come with me, son. There is no going back. Staying on Ravenna’s side will only lead to your death.” “This isn’t only about Ravenna. This is about me, Ciro, Sofia, Aria, and all other people you’ve caused pain. Do you know the shit you put Aria through?” “Not enough, seeing as she was still chasing your dick about. What? Did she finally give you her pussy? Is that why you’re tak

RAVENNA~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤“Are you two sure you don’t need some security with you? I know I said he doesn’t have many guards here, but you can never be too sure,” Aria said, her heels crunching on the gravel as we walked up the driveway. “We’re fine,” Valentino answered. “I just hope for your sake, this isn’t a trap.” “If it were a trap, I wouldn’t be here with you. I’d just give you the address and hang back at my house. Quiet down.” Aria pressed the doorbell, and we heard someone gasp from inside. Someone was close to the door. I met Valentino’s eyes, and he gave a single nod, confirming my thoughts. “Open it,” I mouthed to Aria, pulling out my gun. Aria twisted the handle, but it didn’t budge. “It’s locked,” she whispered before the cries of a baby filled the air. Valentino nudged Aria to the side, yanking on the doorknob. “Sofia, is that you?” He asked. Louder cries filled the house as we heard someone unlock the door. “Who the fuck are y

VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧“It didn’t escape my notice that you ate nothing. Are you sick?” I asked, startling Ravenna, who was cleaning up her kitchen. “You actually noticed that when you and Drake were glaring at each other all night? Shocking,” she drawled, returning to wiping down the counters. “I was staring at Alaina. He grew overprotective. Sue me.” “The answer to who and where her mother is will not be slapped on her face,” Ravenna said with amusement. It was surprising that she knew what had been on my mind while I’d been staring at Alaina. She was the only one who could disclose her mother’s whereabouts, and she was proving stubborn. “I got the who part figured out. I’m more worried about the where part.” “Really? Who’s her mother?” “She used to work for your mother. Aria said to ask Leonardo, but I have no way of reaching him.” “So you need my help,” Ravenna concluded. I nodded my agreement. “I do.” “I’m afraid I can’t
