~~~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤♤“You know, if you missed me that much, you could’ve just said so instead of going through this entire process,” I teased as I led Nana through the house and into her bedroom.When she was settled on her bed, she rolled her eyes at me. “I didn’t do that. I’ve been really worried about you lately, and you know when I’m stressed and worried, I like to clean. I haven’t been getting much rest.”
“I know. I was just joking.” I climbed under the covers next to her, placing my head on her shoulder. “I had been really worried when I got that call. Don’t scare me like that ever again.”
“I didn’t mean to. You’ve been really busy lately.”
I nodded, but I didn’t elaborate on the subject. It would only get her more worried, and that was the last thing I wanted.
“Ravenna?”

RAVENNA ~~~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤♤Three days.That was how long I had been absent from work, and my messages were overflowing. I was glad for the break because it meant I got to spent time with Nana, but now, it was over. I had to return to work."You look so casual. This is your comeback after taking a break for three days. You're supposed to dress up," Alaina said with a mug of coffee in her hand as she walked into my room.There was also one more thing that happened during those three days. On the first day of Nana's return from the hospital, we had decided to get drunk after waiting on Nana hand and foot.Alaina had gotten too drunk and she had made a confession about not having a home of her own, and then I had offered her a room at my place until she should get one of her own.On that same night, a drunk Zypher had admitted to kissing Anthony, but before she could get drilled on it, she passed out.Ever since then, she's been pr

RAVENNA~~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤♤“You should have woken me up,” Valentino said for the hundredth time as we made our way to our hotel room. I rolled my eyes at him. “You were sleeping. Forgive me for taking pity on you.” I opened the door with the key card and we both walked in. “Also, you don’t look so good. You sure you’re not coming down with something?” “I’m fine. I’ll be driving tomorrow.” “If you say so, master. I’m taking the shower first.” I was tired and sweaty from driving for hours and only taking a few minutes to rest and some food. After minutes of using the bathroom and changing into my pajamas, I returned to the room to find Valentino sleeping on his side. I contemplated waking him, but he looked so peaceful and tired, so I left him to sleep. What felt like just a few minutes of sleep later, the sound of water running in the bathroom awoke me. I climbed out of bed, g

RAVENNA ~~~~~~~~~ ♤♤♤♤♤♤ “How have you been? Leo finally found you. He came to me a few years ago in search of you,” Callum said as we walked by the lake. “I’ve been doing fine. How have you been? I heard my parents’ demise had been hard on you.” He nodded. “Yes. They were very close friends of mine. Their deaths came as a shock, but I know it wasn’t a mistake. Someone did it intentionally. They had it planned.” That was the opening I had been waiting for. “What do you mean by that?” “How did the fire start? Most importantly, why did the fire happen when the entire staff was on a break. Not a single person was on the property when they died. Someone planned it, and it was someone close to them. The person must have been working with someone on the inside.” “Who do you think could’ve done it?” “Fiore. It’s definitely him. He wasn’t happy about the way your father spent his money. Fi

VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧“I feel quite special. You both had to drop everything you had going on just to come check on me,” Ciro said with a smirk. For a guy who got thrown over the handlebars of his bike, he was quite chatty. “We were coming back already, so there’s no need to feel special. Where the fuck were you going when you had the accident?” I asked, raking my eyes down his body. “I was going home. One moment, the road was free, and the next, a car was stopping in front of the bike. I kinda froze, and when I processed everything in my head, it was too late. I passed out momentarily, and when I woke up, the car was gone. Wanna know what saved my life?” He asked with a grin. “Your constant nagging about wearing a helmet. I guess I should thank you for the helmet you got me. The doctor said I’d be dead if it wasn’t because the helmet took the impact.” Ravenna grinned at him. “You guess? If it saved your life,

RAVENNA~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤♤“You can come spend the night if you want to,” I offered when Anthony parked in front of my house. “It’s pretty late.” “I knew I made the right choice coming down here. It was so boring living all by myself in England. Here, everyone gives a shit about me, sometimes, I feel choked by all that affection.” I rolled my eyes at him. “Let me punch the code for the gate in.” The gate slid open after I put in the code, and Anthony drove into the house. “Your house looks amazing,” he commented as we made our way into the house. “Thanks. Let me show you to your room.” I led him up the stairs and down the hallway, but we came to a stop when we heard the noises coming out of Alaina’s open room. “What exactly do you get from sitting on your ass all day and waiting for you husband? Tell me, mother. How much do you make? Oh, that’s right. Fucking nothing, so get over your fucking self, g

RAVENNA~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤♤I came to a stop at the kitchen’s entrance, damn sure I was seeing things. “Anthony, you’re cooking?” “That’s the same expression we had on our faces when we came into the kitchen this morning,” Nana said, giving Anthony a motherly smile. “It’s a little thank you for letting me stay at your place last night. Don’t worry. I made sure I wiped the all the counters,” he said with a smirk, winking at Zypher who choked on the juice she had been drinking. My eyes danced between the two of them. What was going on with two of them? Zypher avoided looking at anyone in the kitchen, while Anthony grinned from ear to ear. They definitely did something last night. That was why Zypher didn’t want to look at anyone. “This is interesting,” I said, grinning from ear to ear as I took a se

VALENTINO~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧“My body hurts all over. I just feel like sleeping and never waking up,” Ciro said as I lowered him to his bed. “That’s wishing for death, Ciro. Stop saying shit like that.” I found an envelope on the bed next to Ciro, but as I reached for it, he quickly snatched it off the bed. “What are you hiding?” “Nothing.” He was definitely hiding something. I could tell from his tone. “Ciro!” I snapped. “What’s inside that envelope?” “It’s private pictures of this woman I’m seeing.” I knew he was lying, but I let it slide. “Next time, keep it where no one can see.” He forced a grin. “Yeah. I was looking at it before I had to leave the house, so I just left it on the bed. My bad.” “Whatever. I’m leaving, okay? Send me a text if you need anything. Or don’t. It’s fine with me either way.” “You love me and you know it. You even killed a bunch of men for

RAVENNA ~~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤♤“Slade and the rest will be fine. Thankfully, it’s nothing too damaging,” Uncle Leo said, patting my shoulder as we waited for an update on the men. “Uncle, did you see the fire that burnt our house down?” “Yes.” “It was a raging fire. Nothing could have saved them. We must have stayed long at the park because the fire didn’t look like it just started. Can you imagine getting burnt by that?” “It was brutal, Ravenna, but even in their dying breath, they made sure they typed out a text to you. Who knows? If they hadn’t sent that message, you might be dead by now. They loved you a lot.” My vision got blurry as tears poured out of my eyes. “Did you know Mom was pregnant?” Uncle Leo raised a brow. “She was?” “Yes. She was going to tell D

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

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

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
