MAFIA HEIRESS CHAPTER SEVENTY ONE
VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧“I did the nice thing by leaving you for almost two months. Now we can have that talk. I hope you’ve thought out where your loyalties lie now,” I said, sitting across from the boy I’d captured the night I’d shot Fiore. “Are you going to leave me if I tell you the truth?” He asked, placing his forearms on the table between us. With a smile, I shook my head. “Oh, make no mistake. You’re gonna die today. Your reply determines how quickly and what method I use.” “Then I ain’t telling you shit. I’m a dead man anyway, so what’s the point?” He spat. Carlo chuckled at the boy’s answer. “That’s what they all say until he finally breaks them.” “I must say, I admire your false bravado. Why did you choose to work for Fiore? You have a pregnant girlfriend who was kicked out by her parents when they found out she was dating a man like you. You’re just nineteen. You have a lot to live for. Even if it’s not for your sake, do it for your fa
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
MAFIA HEIRESS CHAPTER SEVENTY FOUR
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
MAFIA HEIRESS CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVE
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
MAFIA HEIRESS CHAPTER SEVENTY SIX
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
MAFIA HEIRESS CHAPTER SEVENTY EIGHT
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
