MAFIA HEIRESS CHAPTER SEVENTY TWO
RAVENNA ~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤“What a surprise to see you here. Are you here to apologize to Zypher?” I asked, leaning back in my chair with my feet propped on the desk. We were in the study, which I rarely used because Gina wanted privacy. “Apologize for what? Zypher got herself into this mess.” “But it would’ve been better if she had her mother firmly by her side.” Gina shook her head, her lips curling up in a wise smile. “You don’t understand. Zypher knew the implications for getting involved with Anthony, and she still did. At that point, I wasn’t a mother. I was a leader. The mother in me cried, but I had to be the leader for the people that took orders from me.” “So, what if you’re a leader? Your daughter comes first.” “You can choose what type of woman you want to be. A leader or a lover. You can’t be one and also be the other simultaneously. When love or any emotion at all affects the decisions of a woman, those decisions become selfish. “That’s

RAVENNA~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤“No.” A sob broke out of me as I took a seat on the chair next to the bed. “I’m fine, Ravenna,” Nana tried to reassure me, but I could see even smiling hurt her. “What happened? What did they say they wanted from you?” I asked, my vision blurry from the tears that threatened to fall out of them. “Nothing. I think they meant to scare me. I’m just glad that you weren’t around when this happened.” The tears I’d been trying to hold back broke free. Here she was with bruises covering her body and several broken ribs, but she was still worried about my safety. “I’m sorry this happened to you because of me.” “It’s not your fault.” “She’s right,” Uncle Leo said from the doorway. “Instead of crying, why not go out there and find the people who did this? Your tears won’t change anything.” He handed me a handkerchief to wipe my tears. “You two need to leave. I don’t want any more of this touching you two. Get someone to man

VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~“Now that the money is trickling in, how do you intend to clean it? It’s only a matter of time before IRS comes knocking on your door,” Anthony said, throwing a grape into his mouth. I pushed his legs off my desk, glaring at him. He flashed me a smile, grabbing a notepad and a pen from the table. “I’ve been thinking about that do. Considered a bunch of things.” “You should think fast. One doesn’t make billions overnight. It’s how the Costas take care of their dirty money. They put it into a business and poof. The money is cleaned. Matteo might have brought up the idea, but Leonardo nurtured the business. He’s a smart business manager if you ask me.” “I didn’t,” I said, dryly, but he continued like he didn’t hear me. “You should take a couple of lessons from him. Eighty percent of their money is clean, but that twenty percent could still fuck them over.” “Nothing the eighty percent can’t take care of. At this rate, they shouldn’t

VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧“Hello big brother,” I heard when I pressed my phone to my ear. I felt relief course through my system at the familiar voice. “Ciro. Thank goodness you’re not dead yet. Where the fuck are you?” “There’s no need to worry about me. I’m fine. I saw the man you put on my tail. He’s laying unconscious on the floor next to me. Not to worry. I didn’t kill him. He’s just having a nice nap.” “What the hell are you doing, Ciro? Come back home.” “I’m not a fucking kid. You might I don’t know shit about survival, but I do. I’ll be fine on my own. You’re independent, and I want to be like that too. That’ll never happen if I come back.” “Okay. Do you need money? Or arms? Anything at all?” “Yeah. I need your help with my houses. Maybe send a bunch of people to clean it out before it gets too dusty. And my cars, make sure they’re in working condition when I come back. Ferraris aren’t cheap, y’know,” he teased. Even though I couldn’t se

VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧“Hello, son. It’s been a while.” I whipped my head to the side immediately I heard the slimy voice that belonged to the son of a bitch who fathered me. “How did you get in here?” I asked, reaching for my gun. “No, no, no. You don’t want to do that. The man you have as a guard is a smart one. He knew what was at stake, so he let me in. Guess you do have quite a few loyal men who care about your life.” “It’s brave of you to walk in here. Nothing stops me from putting a bullet in your head.” “But a lot does. Ever heard of an organization called Daylight?” He asked, running his hands over my desk before taking a seat on a chair. What’s with them and criminal organizations? There seemed to be a lot of it these days. “Should that matter to me?” I asked, appearing bored when my mind raced at an astronomical rate, weighing the pros and cons of killing him right now. I had no idea how powerful ‘daylight' was.“It should b

RAVENNA ~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤“Where have you been and why now? We’ve been looking for you for ages, Ronan,” I said, eyeing the man in question as he stopped in front of the main gate of the estate without directions from me. That could only mean one thing. He had been monitoring me. “If I just came to you with the truth, I figured you wouldn’t just believe me. It was better for you to learn the truth in your way and at your own time.” That took me back some hours ago. My heart still screamed at me, like it had shattered into millions of irreparable pieces, but I was emotionally drained. I couldn’t keep crying over spilled milk. “You’re like your father, you know. Loyal to a fault, and when you two love, you love hard. That’s why it feels like the pain is unbearable. The same pain your father must have felt when he got betrayed by those close to him.” “I don’t want to hear it. Don’t act like you know me. You don’t. You all act like my parents were so dear to yo

RAVENNA~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤“Do you know anything about an organization called Daylight? I heard Fiore mention it to Valentino.” Ronan dropped a cup of green juice in front of me. I raised a brow at the gesture. He shrugged at me. “I believe you need to eat healthily.” I took a sip out of it. “It doesn’t exactly taste bad. I expected to be... yuck.” “That’s when you add too much of one vegetable. It can overpower the others. You don’t get to be forty and still look like this without proper healthcare and hygiene.” “Right. Another cocky man I’m surrounded by. Just what I needed. You still haven’t answered my first question.” He rolled up the sleeve on his left arm, showing a sun-shaped scar on the inside of his wrist. It looked like someone had burnt his skin with something of that shape, and it had healed up into this. “Is that supposed to mean something?” I asked when he turned to the sink, continuing with his task. “Yes. It’s the mark used to

RAVENNA~~~~~~~♤♤♤♡♤“What happened to you? You look like you got run over by a truck,” I said bluntly, eyeing Callum with pity. He looked like it hurt him to even lay on his back. “I feel like it, too.” “We sent for a doctor. Seriously, why didn’t you go to a doctor first?” “Because I had some men chasing my ass. I’d have gone to Paul, but I heard about the tragic incident. I didn’t have anywhere else to go.” “What happened to your friend? How did you get this bruised up?” “I don’t know where he is. He said something about traveling around the world some months back. I haven’t seen him since then.” “What about your place? Who’s looking over it?” “I have workers.” “Right. You don’t look like the typical cowboy. Just thought I’d put that out there.” “Not a time for jokes. How did you find Ronan?” “Ronan found me. Nobody knows where he’s been all this while. What crime did you commit?” “It’s some guys from a motorcycle club. So

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
MAFIA HEIRESS CHAPTER EIGHTY NINE
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
MAFIA HEIRESS CHAPTER EIGHTY SEVEN
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
