☩═✦═☩

I stood in front of the mirror, staring at the stranger looking back at me.

Dark circles clung under my eyes. My lips were cracked. There was dried blood at my temple, a bruise blooming beneath it. I barely recognized myself.

I didn’t know how long I walked or how many miles passed beneath my feet before I ended up here—some tiny bed-and-breakfast in the middle of nowhere. The owner didn’t ask questions, didn’t pry, just handed me a key and a warm plate of food like she knew I needed both more than air.

She even gave me clothes. They were too big, hanging loose on my frame, but I didn’t care. It didn’t matter.

Nothing mattered.

I dropped onto the bed, my limbs aching, my body screaming for rest. But the second I closed my eyes, they were there. Their faces. Their eyes. Their blood.

I sucked in a breath and forced them away.

I did what I had to do. I avenged my sister. My brother-in-law. I ended the men who took everything from me. From Felicity.

And yet,
Janedoewritings

This chapter might not be packed with thrills, but it was necessary to set the stage because this month marks our final stretch with Viviane and Alessandro. The book is nearing its end, and soon all the loose ends will be tied up neatly. Get ready for the conclusion! XOXO, 💋

    Nikolai paced the length of the room, his footsteps echoing against the cold marble floor. His jaw clenched so tight it looked like it might snap. He raked a hand through his hair, agitation rippling off him in waves. “This doesn’t make sense,” he muttered like he was talking more to himself than the room, “I still don’t believe it. It’s not real. She’s older than his mother, for Christ’s sake. She raised him, Evangeline!” he talked like if he said it enough times, it would rewrite reality. Evangeline sat rigid, her fingers laced together so tightly her knuckles were white, “That’s why we brought you proof. In her own words. You heard the recording, Nikolai. You heard her admit it. What more do you need? A confession carved into his skin?” Nikolai’s face twisted, like she’d slapped him. His hands clenched into fists at his sides. “What was happening in our family,” she continued, “wasn’t some mistake. It wasn’t confusion. It wasn’t a ‘relationship.’ It was abuse. She’s a pred

    Viviane ☩═✦═☩ A flurry of dings snapped my attention away from the curling iron. I barely managed to wrap the last strand of hair before reaching for my phone. No one sane texts this much, this fast. The second I unlocked my screen, my notifications were stacked like a digital avalanche. Allegra added you to "Girls." Allegra added Evangeline to "Girls." Allegra added Delilah to "Girls." Allegra added Lilianna to "Girls." Allegra added Bianca to "Girls." Jesus. I barely had time to register the generic name before another notification popped up. Delilah changed the group name from "Girls" to "Dickmatized." I choked on absolutely nothing. Another notification immediately followed. Allegra changed the group name from "Dickmatized" to "Sisterhood." Okay, slightly better. Delilah changed the group name from "Sisterhood" to "Milk Him Dry." I almost dropped my phone. This had to be a mistake. There was no way this was real. Milk him dry? What did sh

    Viviane ☩═✦═☩ Director Whittaker stepped up to the podium. The grand hall fell silent, she lowered her glasses and adjusted the mic. A faint smile curled her lips—not too warm, not too cold. There was a time I wanted to be her—wanted to own a room like that, to make people stop and listen before I even spoke. But now I wasn’t so sure. Because standing there, watching her, I saw it—saw what it cost. And I wasn’t sure I was willing to pay the price. “Good evening,” she began, “I want to thank each and every one of you for being here tonight. To celebrate another year of uncompromising service to this nation. To honor the tireless work, the sacrifices, and the dedication that define the Federal Bureau of Investigation.” As she spoke, the screen behind her flickered to life. The first image appeared—a classic, feel-good shot of new agents graduating from Quantico. The kind of picture that made people believe in heroes. I used to be one of them. Bright-eyed. Convinced I knew th

    Viviane ☩═✦═☩ The gunshot exploded through the air, like the slamming of a coffin lid. A hot spray of blood hit my face. Warm. Metallic. The sickening scent filled my nose. Fitz’s grip on me loosened, fingers twitching, then slipping away completely. The weight of him vanished, and a dull, heavy thud followed—his body hitting the ground. I just stood there, swaying. My head throbbed, my ears rang, and the world swam around me. My hands were shaking and so were my legs. I forced myself to focus, blinking away the blood and sweat stinging my eyes. Then I saw him. Logan stood a few feet away, gun raised, his face carved from stone. His eyes were locked onto mine, scanning me, assessing. He’d just saved my life but I was too dazed, too wrecked to say anything. A sharp, shuddering breath rattled through me. My body swayed, strength draining like water slipping through cracks. And then—finally—I collapsed. The cold ground slammed against me, jarring every bruised bone, every raw

    Alessandro ☩══♛══☩ Love’s fucking cruel. People talk about falling in love like it’s some fairytale, like it’s soft, like it catches you but no one ever says what really happens. No one warns you that when you fall, you don’t land—you crash. You hit the ground so fucking hard it shatters you from the inside out. And you don’t even realize it at first, because there she is, looking at you like you’re everything, whispering shit that makes your head spin, pressing her lips to your skin like she owns you. And she does. For a while, that’s all there is. Her. Her laugh, her scent, the way she says your name like it belongs to her. You don’t notice the fractures, the breaks, the way you’re caving under the weight of what she makes you feel—because none of it matters. She’s there, and she makes the pain feel like it’s worth something. But then she leaves. And suddenly, you feel it. Every break, every wound, every goddamn piece of you she touched—it all starts to hurt. And you r

    Alessandro ☩══♛══☩ Then— “What the fuck are you doing here?” a deep voice cut through the moment, filled with rage. I didn’t have to turn around to know who it was. Brandon Kane. He stood in the doorway, eyes burning with pure rage, his broad shoulders tense, fists curled tight like he was holding himself back from throwing the first punch. I held his gaze for half a second before turning back to her. She was still out, too pale. The sight of her like that made something in my chest twist, but I swallowed it down. This wasn’t the time. I flicked my fingers at Brandon, a silent signal to keep his voice down, and without another word, I walked past him, stepping into the hallway. Predictably, he followed. The moment the door clicked shut behind us, he was on me. “I asked what the hell are you doing here?” he snapped. I exhaled slowly, shoving my hands into my pockets, “Came to see her.” Brandon took a step forward, crowding me, “Why?” his voice was a growl, his han

    Alessandro ☩══♛══☩ “I want you to tell me what you want, Alessandro,” Niko said, standing over me. I exhaled sharply, dragging off my headphones and pushing away from the monitors. The screens glowed behind me. Niko stood beside me, arms crossed, but I knew that look. It was the same one he gave before making decisions that would change lives—end them, if necessary. But this wasn’t about business, wasn’t about enemies or strategy. This was about me. “I don’t want a fucking thing,” I muttered, leaning back in my chair, my fingers drumming against the desk. “Bullshit.” I scoffed, shaking my head. “You came all the way down here for this? What, to have some heart-to-heart?” I let out a humorless laugh. “Save it, Niko. I’m fine.” “You’re not fine,” he snapped, “And I know why.” My jaw ticked, “Whatever you think you know is wrong.” His eyes darkened, “I know more than you think. And I regret not seeing it sooner. I regret not paying attention to why you are the wa

    Viviane ☩═✦═☩ EIGHT MONTHS LATER •────⋅─────⋅────• I tightened my grip on the silencer attached to my Glock. Two missing girls. Fifteen and sixteen. Taken three days ago. If we didn’t move now, they’d be gone—sold, lost forever. I couldn't let that happen. I adjusted the comm in my ear. "Status check." "Perimeter secure," Isaac voiced, he was ex-military, and built like a tank, "No movement outside." "North entrance covered," Lena, my tech genius and sniper confirmed from her vantage point across the street. "Three guards at the back, all armed. Looks like semi-autos." "I'm in position," Jace, my smooth talker, infiltration expert whispered, "Got eyes on the main room. Girls are in a side room, locked. Two guards inside, one outside the door." I nodded to myself. Four men total. That was child's play. I motioned to Reina beside me. She was ex-FBI just like me, and a deadly shot. We moved silently through the abandoned warehouse lot, slipping between rusted shipping co

  • 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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
