Viviane ☩═✦═☩ I’m not the type to lose track of things. Misplacing something, forgetting about it long enough for it to disappear? That’s not me. My life, my job, doesn’t allow for those kinds of mistakes. I couldn’t stop running scenarios in my head, trying to retrace every step. The address wasn’t just missing—it was gone, and that fact itched under my skin like a splinter I couldn’t reach. I replayed the last time I saw it: the way I folded it neatly, the exact spot I’d tucked it into. My thoughts kept circling back to Alessandro. No. There was no way. If he’d found that address, this entire operation would’ve imploded before it even began. Still, doubt crept in. He never stayed at my place long enough to come across something that incriminating. Not to mention, if he had, I’d already be dead or worse. I shook my head, dismissing the thought, though it didn’t fully leave. Something else had to have happened. The missing motel address wasn’t just a loose thread—it was

Viviane ☩═✦═☩ The uneasiness had taken a root inside of me since the moment they had clamped those handcuffs around his wrists. It sat in the pit of my stomach like a void threatening to swallow me whole. No matter how hard I tried to shake it off, it lingered, a constant fucking reminder of everything I’d done and everything I’d lost in the process. What terrified me more than anything was the thought of sitting across from him in that interrogation room and facing him. I chose to be in there. I wanted to be in there. Needed to be in there with all of them. Watching them from behind a pane of glass felt too distant. I needed to see their faces up close, to catch every flicker of emotion—or lack thereof. To hear the cadence of their words, the way they'd twist the truth like it was second nature. But most of all, I needed to know how he was holding up. I ran a hand through my hair, nails digging into my scalp just enough to ground myself, “Get it together, Kane,” I muttered

Viviane ☩═✦═☩ Lilianna Costello wasn’t just a movie star. She was the wife of Marco Costello, one of the higher ranking members of the Cosa Nostra, he was bound to the whole thing by blood. Logan and I stepped into the room, the door clicking shut behind us. Lilianna didn’t bother looking up at first, her focus trained on her manicured nails, painted the same shade of red as her lipstick. Her lawyer, Frank Arnoult, sat beside her. He didn’t even glance at us, casually flipping through papers in his leather folder. Arnoult was another Marston. The Costellos wouldn’t settle for anything less than a legal dream team, and Arnoult was as ruthless as they came. I dropped the case file on the table, the sound echoing in the small room. Lilianna finally looked up, her lips curving into a slight smile. It wasn’t friendly. It was filled with rage. By now, the whole family knew about me. “Mrs. Costello,” I began, sliding into the chair across from her, “thank you for speaking with us.”

Viviane ☩═✦═☩ My head snapped toward Logan, his face already pale as he grabbed his jacket and his gun. “Flames are spreading fast. We need evac down here now!” The words hit me like a punch to the gut. My stomach dropped, my heart kicking into overdrive. I shot a glance at Fitz, and the look in his eyes told me he was thinking the same thing: This wasn’t an accident. "Move!" someone shouted, shoving past me. I grabbed Logan’s arm, pulling him closer. “The evidence... all of it—” “I know,” he cut me off, “We need to get there now.” We pushed through the confusion and the havoc, agents shouting into radios, others trying to direct staff toward the emergency exits. My mind raced, scenarios piling up in my head. As we reached the corridor leading to the evidence room, the smoke hit us like a physical force, burning my lungs and stinging my eyes, I coughed, clearing my throat. The heat radiating off the walls was suffocating, and the acrid smell of burning documents and p

Viviane ☩═✦═☩ The moment Bianca walked into the interrogation room, it felt like the oxygen had been sucked out of my lungs. She had a striking resemblance to her brother in some ways, like right now her eyes looked at me in the same way Alessandro had looked at me when I told him who I really was. Hatred. Her dark, wavy hair was tied back tightly, making her cheekbones and jawline all the more pronounced. "Special Agent Viviane Kane," Bianca said my name with a slight clench of her teeth. “Bianca Costello,” I began, flipping the file open. “It’s been a while.” She smirked, tilting her head. “Not long enough.” Behind her, her lawyer walked in, Veronica Steele, the infamous “Viper” of the criminal defense world. God, Costellos and their lawyers. “Thanks for taking the time to speak with me,” I said. She laughed, “Speak with you? Is that what we’re calling it? I don’t remember this being voluntary...more like you are trying to ruin our entire family.” I kept my face neu

Viviane ☩═✦═☩ The stale, metallic taste of burnt coffee clung to the air. The conference room was bitterly cold, but it had nothing to do with the temperature. I sat at the long table, my hands clenched tightly around a pen, every muscle in my body tensed up. Fitzgerald stood at the head of the table, his sleeves rolled up, revealing the faint scars on his forearms. He was a man of precision, order, and results, and this—this disaster—was the antithesis of everything he represented. "Let me make this clear," he began, "We are royally screwed. Years of work, gone. Every shred of evidence, incinerated. And now we’re sitting here with nothing but our goddamn hands out, praying someone from the Cosa Nostra will crack. The only reason the suspects are still in custody is the clockwork miracle of Miranda loopholes. Perez, give me the status update on the interrogations." Agent Perez was seated to Fitzgerald’s left. He adjusted his glasses and opened his binder, "We’ve interrog

Viviane ☩═✦═☩ I glanced at Fitz and than back at Lorenzo. From behind the two-way mirror, I watched the enforcer of the Cosa Nostra, sit at the cold metal table. His hands rested lightly on the table, his posture straight, his expression... Cold. Unbothered. A statue carved from stone. Logan leaned against the wall opposite him, arms crossed, staring Lorenzo down like he could burn through him with sheer force of will. Agent Perez sat at the table, hands clasped in front of him. Lorenzo didn’t so much as blink. He’d been sitting there for over an hour, enduring silence, questions, and verbal assaults without so much as a twitch. “He won't say anything,” I told him. Agent Perez threw the pictures of unsolved murders, that we know that Lorenzo had committed, “You’ve got a body count that could fill a five fucking graveyards, a reputation that sends grown men running, and not a single shred of remorse to show for it. You’ve made a career out of killing for the Costellos

Viviane ☩═✦═☩ The questions in my hands felt heavier than they should have. The words on the page seemed to glare back at me, each one approved by Eleanor Whitaker, the Director of the FBI. Her signature at the bottom wasn’t just ink—it was a direct order, a stamp of authority I couldn’t argue with. Whitaker didn’t sign off on anything without a reason. Every line had been reviewed, debated, and locked in to make sure we didn’t screw this up. My fingers trembled slightly, and I clenched them into fists to keep from showing weakness. “Viviane?” Logan’s voice pulled me out of my spiraling thoughts. I glanced up, and he took a small step closer, lowering his voice, “You ready for this?” I nodded, but the motion felt stiff, robotic. “Yeah,” I whispered, and then I cleared my throat and forced more strength into my voice, “Yeah. Let’s do this.” He studied me for a moment longer, “You don't have to do this if you don't want to.” “I do,” I said, though my voice broke at the end.

Mafia Men VI - Alessandro's Ruin Author’s Note: The End of an Era
And just like that, we’ve reached the end. I can’t begin to express what this journey has meant to me. Nearly three years ago, I started writing this series, pouring my heart into every page, every twist, every broken character working their way toward redemption. What started as a single story turned into a world of love, betrayal, sacrifice. A world that, for so long, felt just as real to me as the one outside my screen. This series has been my constant companion, my late-night obsession, my endless battle between frustration and joy. I’ve spent years with these characters, watching them evolve, break, heal, and fight for the love and survival they never thought they deserved. Letting them go feels like saying goodbye to a piece of myself. To those of you who have been here since the beginning—to those who joined somewhere along the way—thank you. Your comments, your excitement, your passion for these characters kept me going when the words refused to come. Every time
Mafia Men VI - Alessandro's Ruin Epilogue - This was forever.
Viviane ☩═✦═☩ I had never been a big emotional crier. Not when I got shot. Not when I faced down criminals twice my size. Not even when I was in labor with both of my children. But watching Felicity walk across that stage in her cap and gown? Yeah. I was losing it. Sixteen years old. Valedictorian. Just like me. I squeezed Alessandro’s hand, trying to keep my emotions in check as she reached the podium. She looked so grown up, standing there, her red hair shining under the stadium lights, her eyes scanning the massive crowd like she still couldn’t believe this was happening. I still couldn’t believe it was happening. I remembered the tiny girl who used to curl up next to me in a hospital bed, hooked up to dialysis, her body too small for the battles she had to fight. I remembered the way she clung to me after Stella died, the way she had once been so fragile and now? Now, she stood before thousands, confident, brilliant, with the whole world waiting for her.
Mafia Men VI - Alessandro's Ruin Chapter 100 - Azario and Mia
Viviane ☩═✦═☩ FOUR YEARS LATER •───⋅────⋅───• The pregnancy test lay on the counter. I stared at it. Waiting. And waiting. And waiting… Until— Two bright pink lines. My pulse slammed into my throat. My fingers trembled as I snatched the second test, my breath stalling in my chest. Bold, capital letters burned into my vision. Pregnant. I swallowed, my mouth dry as I reached for the third one, hoping, praying, begging for a different result. Pregnant. A hollow, gasping breath left me as I staggered backward. My legs barely held me up before I sank to the cold tile floor, pressing my knees to my chest. I squeezed my eyes shut, my fingers curling into the fabric of my shirt. My heart pounded so hard it hurt. My body was a time bomb, the life inside me a ticking fuse. I had read the statistics, spoken to the doctors, heard the warnings whispered like a death sentence. Fifty-fifty. A chance to survive. A chance to die. And the baby, God, the baby. My mi
Mafia Men VI - Alessandro's Ruin Chapter 99 - Ruinously.
Alessandro ☩══♛══☩ The mirror reflected back a man I barely recognized. I was dressed in a perfectly tailored black tuxedo, the white of my shirt against the deep charcoal vest, I looked every bit the groom. My cufflinks were made of gold, engraved with my family’s crest. The tie was perfectly knotted, not a single wrinkle in sight. So why the fuck did my pulse feel like a war drum in my chest? “She’s not running, if that’s what you’re worried about,” Nikolai drawled from the couch, glass of whiskey in hand. He looked as put together as ever, but there was amusement in his eyes. “The only person who might run is you.” I shot him a dry look, fastening the last button of my jacket. “I’d rather be shot between the eyes.” Nikolai smirked, “That could be arranged.” I exhaled sharply, running a hand over my jaw. “You ready?” I asked him. He lifted his glass in a silent toast. “To your last few minutes as a free man.” I rolled my eyes heavenwards, adjusting my cuff. “Let’s g
Mafia Men VI - Alessandro's Ruin Chapter 98 - A near-death experience.
Viviane ☩═✦═☩ The second we stepped inside, Alessandro had me against the wall, his body pressing into mine like he couldn’t stand the space between us. I moaned into his mouth, clawing at his jacket, shoving it off his shoulders. My fingers worked fast, unbuttoning his shirt, feeling the hard ridges of muscle beneath as I slid my hands down his chest, nails raking lightly over his skin before pausing over the bandages where he’d been shot. The wound was nearly healed, but I still handled it with care. My fingers trembled there, hesitation flickering through me for the briefest moment. His hands tore my shirt over my head, his fingers finding the clasp of my bra, snapping it open with a single flick. It slid off, leaving me bare. His mouth never left mine, but his hands moved lower, unbuttoning my jeans, pushing them down my hips. I arched into him, needy, aching, tugging at his belt, pulling it free, hands sliding under the waistband of his pants. He grabbed my wrists, slammi
Mafia Men VI - Alessandro's Ruin Chapter 97 - Hello again, little thief...
Viviane ☩═✦═☩ The waiting room felt like a prison. The sharp scent of antiseptic burned my nose, and the cold, sterile lighting overhead made everything feel like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from. My fingers were clenched so tightly around the arms of the chair that my nails dug into my palms. My entire body was trembling, my lungs struggling to pull in air past the lump in my throat. Brandon sat beside me, his hand on my shoulder. On my other side, Felicity clung to my arm, her small fingers digging in. Across from us, Alessandro’s family filled the space. Nikolai stood with his arms crossed, his jaw locked so tight I swore I could hear his teeth grinding. Scott was pacing, his usual cheerfulness was gone, replaced by a dark look. Lorenzo sat with his elbows on his knees, fingers laced together, staring at the floor. Marco leaned against the wall, his head tipped back, eyes closed, but I could see the muscle ticking in his jaw. Bianca was holding onto Stefano, her entir
Mafia Men VI - Alessandro's Ruin Chapter 96 - To new beginnings
Alessandro ☩══♛══☩ Francesca. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. She shouldn’t be here. No one had seen or heard from her in months. The last thing I knew, Nikolai had taken everything from her. Every cent, every luxury, every privilege that came with the Costello name. He had stripped her down to nothing and cast her out. No security, no connections, no power. She was gone. Or at least, she was supposed to be. Her gaze locked onto mine, and with a slow, movement of her fingers beckoned me forward. Her eyes darted around, scanning the room, before she turned sharply on her heels, heading toward the back doors that led into the gardens. She wanted me to follow. For a split second, I considered ignoring her entirely, letting the past rot where it belonged. But then Viviane. Because if I didn’t handle this? She would. And despite every instinct screaming at me to leave her to it. I moved. The moment I stepped through the doors, it wasn’t the night I felt, it
Mafia Men VI - Alessandro's Ruin Chapter 95 - Dear Older Brother.
Alessandro ☩══♛══☩ The whiskey in my glass barely moved as I leaned against the bar, listening to the low murmur of conversation around me. The party was in full swing, music humming through the space as we talked. Tonight, however, the topic of discussion was different. “We let them have their fun,” Nikolai said simply. Scott raised an eyebrow. “Fun? Fun?” He let out a laugh, “Niko, they’re not starting a book club. They’re going after human traffickers. You know, murdery people. Like us. Except worse, because they don’t have the rules we do.” Stefano sighed, “They’re going to do it whether we like it or not.” “Exactly,” I murmured, rolling my glass between my fingers. “Which is why we control it.” Marco frowned, “They won’t let us.” I smirked, “They won’t know.” That got their attention. Lorenzo narrowed his eyes. “Explain.” I took a slow sip of my whiskey before setting the glass down. “Their company is already operational. Websites, bank accounts, safe houses
Mafia Men VI - Alessandro's Ruin Chapter 94 - Marco and Lilianna
Lilianna »»»◈««« I had precisely one shot at this. If I told Marco under normal circumstances, he’d shut it down immediately. If I waited, he’d find out anyway—because he’s Marco. He’d outmaneuver me, corner me, and by the time I realized what he was doing, it would already be over. So I had to be strategic. Which is exactly why I waited until he was inside me. It wasn’t playing fair but I wasn’t playing. Marco had me on my hands and knees, my spine arched. His grip on my hips held me in place. One of his hands left my hip, sliding up the curve of my back, pressing between my shoulder blades, pushing me deeper into the mattress. I pressed my cheek against the mattress and whispered, "I started my own company." His movements slowed, uncertain like he wasn't sure he heard me right. I pressed my face harder into the mattress, "A rescue organization. Human trafficking, organ trafficking—" I rambled on and on. Marco’s fingers tightened bruisingly on my hips. And then he
