Natalia's POV:

When I got to Ava's room, I was shocked to find Angela there. Seated on the bed beside Ava who was fast asleep and had an IV drip connected to her little hand. Caterina was on the other side but on a chair.

“Natalia?” Caterina rose to her feet as soon as I stepped in, locking the door behind me.

I moved across the room to her.

Caterina took both of my hands in hers. “You had us worried! Why did you sneak out of the house? You could have been killed!” She scolded and for the first time, I didn't have a response to fire back.

Like I'd said earlier.

I fucked up. Big time.

“You can't do something like this,” she continued sternly, eyes hard. “What you did was wrong. Totally wrong!”

“Zia,” Angela's voice dragged our attention to her. “I'm sure she knows how dangerous her actions wh where but can you blame her? Her little sister was taken.”

“But still—”

“She's alive and well, isn't she?” Angela asked softly, her fingers still moving in Ava's hair.

“Fine,” Caterina said

I do feel bad for Angela. She didn’t deserve what happened to her. I hope Natalia can help her get through the trauma and also help her with the relationship with Reuben. I hope Carlo will be ok. Natalia needs to help take care of him and give him some TLC.

    Angela's POV: The shocked expression on Natalia's face would have been hilarious under a different circumstance but not now.Yes, I had been trying to play it cool, act like what those monsters did to me was nothing, like it didn't bother me. I didn't even want zia to know but since Carlo knew about it, I knew it was only a matter of time but when zia spoke to me after my return, I was relieved to find out that he didn't tell her the full truth and made it look like those men had just groped and beat me up and threatened to rape me. Even more relieved to find out that he hadn't said a word about it to Alessandro.Left to me, I'd rather none of my family found out but with Carlo, it was inevitable since that disgusting pig felt like it was a thing of honor to brag about it to Carlo… Bottom line, Aless and zia can and should never find out.So, yeah.

Me?I chanced a glance at Angela, and shit. This was not good at all. It wasn't. I wasn't a fool. I knew she wanted to keep this from them and now….

A lame attempt at distracting him.He didn't even spare me a glance as he stopped in front of his sister who looked like she'd just seen a ghost and was seconds away from shitting herself. “What did you just say, Angela?” His voice wasn't loud anymore, but anyone with common sense could tell he was dangerously furious. When Angela said nothing but blinked up at him, his eyes narrowed on her. “Did you just say what I think I heard?” He was gro

    Natalia’s POV:My heart thumped rapidly against my chest, each beat echoing in my ears as I shoved a hoodie into my duffel bag. Sweat beaded on my forehead with each fast movement I made. I needed to escape. It was now or never. BANG!!My heart skipped a beat as a shiver ran down my spine at the sound of the living room door being slammed. I knew what the sound was, it was HIM again. No doubt already drunk even though the day was just starting. Quickly, I pushed my little sister, Ava, into the closet. “Don’t come out until I come to get you, okay?” She nodded, her big brown eyes glistened with tears as the fear on her face mirrored mine. I placed a kiss on her forehead. “I won't let him hurt you. I promise.” Liar, you can't even protect yourself. The voice in my head mocked and I squashed it, shutting the closet door, and headed for the living room as my heart raced with a familiar dread. He wasn't supposed to be home, he was usually off at some bar drinking until evening. So

    Natalia’s POV:“You… you can’t do that!” I spat as my mind raced wildly. The man’s index finger curled around the trigger. “You underestimate me, piccolina.” His deep voice was cold and void of any emotion. My blood ran cold as I broke out in cold sweat. I was glued to a spot.Torn between wanting to agree and disagree. Just moments ago I could almost taste my freedom and dreams. I worked my butt off for years to be awarded a fully funded scholarship. Everyone else was going off to college in a few weeks. I couldn't possibly follow a stranger across the continent to get married. War raged inside me at his threat. I can’t let this man ruin everything for me. I won’t back down. I have to call the cops. As if dad heard my thoughts. “Na… Natalia…” Dad breathed as tears rolled down his cheeks.“Plea… please do as he says. Don Carlo’s going to kill me if you don't.”Don Carlo? My heart squeezed painfully at his plea. He might have been an asshole to me all my life but he was still my f

    Natalia’s POV:It’s all my fault… I caused this… Why didn’t I follow them? Instead, I thought I could outsmart them and I was wrong. So terribly wrong. Tears blurred my vision as every fight I had in me melted away. I turned to Carlo, the devil in human form. “I’ll come with you,” I said in a soft plea. “I’ll do anything! Please.”My eyes turned back to where Ava stood in front of the black van, tears streaming down her cheeks as her brown gaze locked with mine. A man stood behind her, his left hand closed her mouth, muffling her screams while his right held a dagger against her neck. How could they do that to a child?! I yanked my arm from his hold and dropped to my knees, clasping my hands in front of me. “Please, don’t do this… please!”His gray-blue eyes studied me, they were expressionless and I couldn’t tell what he was thinking. With each second that passed, my anxiety heightened. Carlo made eye contact with the man holding Ava and he let her go. Like lightning, Ava dashe

    Carlo’s POV:Death had a smell.Tears, blood, sweat, and fear…I glanced back at the traitor—Marco’s limp body being chained to a chair. In my world, disloyalty and lies were deadly sins. The only way to punish traitors for such an unforgivable sin was death. “Wake the stronzo up,” I growled. “Sure thing, Capo,” Enzo, my cousin and right-hand man answered as he moved to Marco, striking him hard across the face and he jerked awake. Marco’s left eye was ballooned shut, his lip split, and his cheek already bruising. Marco had been working for me for over ten years, yet he betrayed me. The fucker knew how much I hated traitors and yet.“You know what happens to men like you, don't you?” I asked, my voice hard and cold. “Don Carlo, please…please don’t do this. I’m sorry. I was desperate, he had my family,” he cried as snot dripped down his broken nose. If he was desperate, he could have come to me for help. But no, the fucker took the easier way out. He stole from me and sold informa

    Natalia’s POV:I shouldn’t have opened the envelope…My knees buckled, and I collapsed onto the floor, the envelope crinkled under my grip as my hands trembled. Suddenly, the room felt too little and it felt like my lungs could no longer function as I struggled to breathe. This can’t be true—A rattling sound behind the door had me scrambling to my feet as I wiped my eyes. Quickly, I hid the envelope and its contents in my duffel bag, stuffing the rest of my things back inside my bag. I couldn't let anyone find me in this state.The door swung open, and I expected it to be Carlo. But at the door stood an elderly lady and a young woman who held a tray of food and juice.I frowned. “Who are you?”“Ciao, bella. How are you?” The older lady asked, ignoring my question. “Let’s get you freshened up and changed into something—”“Who are you?” I asked again. The older lady’s eyes softened as she sighed. She gestured to the younger lady. “This is Vittoria, she will serve you. She’s your maid—

That was my first reaction.A throbbing pain shot through my skull, and I could feel the warm trickle of blood mixing with wine, running down my face.For a moment, everything froze. I took in the woman in front of me, the one who'd dared to hit me, her face had gone pale and her eyes wide with horror. I blinked as my vision swam.My men—brutal, ruthless men—stood like statues. Equally stunned speechless. Eyes wide, jaws slacked. In seconds, shock morphed into blinding fury, it boiled inside me, I could suffocate from it. She had just disrespected me , in front of my men.Drew blood from my head and made me look weak.Almost in the same breath, Enzo—my right hand man—moved first. His face twisted with rage as he lunged for her, grabbing her arms as he pressed the barrel of his hand gun against her temple. Natalia let out a sharp gasp. “Enzo, don't!” Caterina yelled. I wiped the blood from my face. “Easy, Enzo,” I said calmly despite the rage brewi

    Natalia's POV:I'd fucked up. I knew that much as I sat in the passenger seat, shaking against it like a leaf. I couldn't breathe, couldn't get my heart to stop pounding painfully. Even my hands kept trembling on there own accord so I clasped them together, hoping to keep them steady. It was useless...Everything that'd had happened, felt like a terrible nightmare, those kinds you couldn't wake up from, couldn't move or scream.Except it wasn't a nightmare, it was real. And I'd witnessed it all...Carlo had been shot. To the stomach and it looked really fucking bad and it was my fault. I was supposed to be the one with a bullet to my stomach but he'd pushed me out of the way, taking my place.What if he'd died! Why would he do that. It was my fault, I'd distracted him with my stupidity!Every loud bang that rang out sent a cold shiver down my spine. What if they didn't make it out alive? Fear had me in a chokehold, suffocating me as more gunshots rang out in the air you would th

    Carlo's POV: I didn't move a muscle as I watched Levi pull out his phone, received the call and raised it to his ears. I knew exactly what the call was about thanks to our plans earlier. I shared a look with Enzo, hoping that for whatever reason, we share some sort of telepathy and he'd know when and how to move.We've worked together for years, it should work.Levi's wide eyes snapped to mine, his phone still glued to his ear. “I do not understand!” He barked, eyes still fixed on mine. From his expression, anyone could tell he was going through various emotions, shocked, confused, anger, fear… My lips twitched. But now was not the time to dwell on that, I still had to get to Natalia. I just needed the right moment.And that right moment came a second later. As soon as Levi turned away from me, clearly devastated from whatever was being said on the phone, it all happened so fast I barely had enough time to register it.One second, a loud, pain-filled groan ricocheted in the air and

    Carlo's POV: ‘That would have been boring.’ The asshole said casually, his lips curling into a smile. I still couldn't recognize him, so I couldn't exactly why he was doing this—not like I gave a fuck about that, I was just here for the girls. But I'm sure our host was more concerned about irrelevant things like talking and feeling good about himself for bringing me to my ‘knees.’ “Maybe telling you my name will make you remember,” he suddenly said in that weird voice—at first, on the call, I thought it was just a means to disguise himself but no, his voice was terrible. “My name is Levi.” I couldn't care less about his fucking name. Couldn't he see that? “Okay, then, Levi…” Enzo began, sounding bored. “Can you—” “Boss!” A voice called, cutting Enzo off as footsteps on gravel got closer. “I caught this one sneaking around!” Great. More drama. “Shit!” Enzo swore and I stiffened, frowning, I turned to my left and the sight before me had my stomach caving. “Nata

  • Mafia’s Property.   Hundred & Sixty-Nine: Target.

    Natalia's POV: I didn't know how long they'd been driving. Minutes? Hours? It felt endless in the dark, cramped trunk—for some weird reason, it had a little bit of ventilation so I wasn't exactly suffocating but wasn't entirely comfortable either. My legs and back ached from the position I'd squeezed into and I was too scared to adjust, or keep changing position lest I get caught and sent back home cause I could really picture a fuming Carlo making an order for a car to take me back and I can't let that happen.The car suddenly lurched forward, and forced me to move too, making me bump my toe and the handle on the gun dug into the skin of my stomach in the process. I had to bite my tongue to keep me from crying out.Just great.It was already a long and uncomfortable ride and I definitely didn't need anymore suffering.I was just wondering how far the location was. Then, finally, the car slowed, rolling to a stop. I was really doing this. I thought, gently brushing the gun tucked

    Carlo's POV:5:17 AM “This is ridiculous!” Enzo snarled as he continued to stare at the text on his phone. “The ransom is fine, I mean, money isn't our problem but asking for fifty percent of the drug and weapon business, and asking II Porto del Diavolo is too much! He's crossing a dangerous line!” He was. Not just because he was asking for a huge part of my business—he won't be getting that not while I breathe and eat. But he was also asking II Porto del Diavolo. That territory might be mine but it was just mine, I had partners—not the friendly ones. But because of a peace treaty years back, we've all learnt to share it despite not meeting eye to eye we figured it was better than shedding more blood for that land. And the fact that this man was asking for it, wants it… that could only lead to a war that'd been long buried….“We can't give in to this, boss,” Enzo said again, his voice firmer and angrier this time. “Fine, we'll give him the monet he is asking for but we have to find
