“Did you talk to my wife?” Giosue was an arrogant, over-confident son of a bitch. I knew when I met one.

“Yes. Thank you for allowing me to meet her, even briefly. Unfortunately, she said she’s not feeling well like you said. I let her rest.” Maverick smiled tightly, but I felt something was wrong.

“Of course.”

After the refreshment he offered, Maverick put a hand on her stomach.

“Are you okay?” I hoped she was not pregnant, given how many problems kept coming. If she were, she would worry too much, which would not be good for her. I placed the back of my hand on her forehead.

“I’m not feeling well. Maybe a jetlag or something. I’ve never traveled outside the country. This is actually my first time. Forgive me, Mr. Conti.”

“No apology necessary. You should rest. I’ll let my housekeeper ready a room for you.”

“Apologies. I don’t want to bother you during this difficult time. I’ll rest in our hotel room once we get back.”

“Accept our condolences, Mr. Conti, to your wife and the peo

    LAKE“I suggest you start the jet before things fall apart. And trust me. We can’t leave here alive if you ever wait an hour.” For a man who just said we were in trouble, he seemed so calm.“You’re scaring my wife. Explain.”“Giosue killed my father and my brother, and he keeps my sister hostage.”The entire car went eerily silent.“She’s telling the truth,” Tucker backed her up.“We can’t leave my sister there.” Maverick cried again, eyes begging. “He will kill her or lock her in a cage and use her the way it pleases him. I saw her bruises, Lake. She’s badly hurt. Maybe at this, he locks her up.” Her eyes filled with horror, and I instantly believed her. The way she cried earlier was not a joke. It was someone who had broken down, who had endured unbearable pain.It broke my heart to pieces. The tightness in my chest made it hard to breathe. I couldn’t even blink. I listened to every word she said, and at the same time, I was helpless. I didn’t know how to proceed with taking her sis

    MAVERICK“How could he hurt her? I thought he loved her?” I felt so bad for Celestina. I saw the deep pain and sorrow in her eyes.I wished I could do something to save her, but I knew it would not be easy without men to help us take back the compound. I couldn’t fathom how scared she must have been to the man to whom she gave her trust.“I don’t know, baby. Maybe it was his plan all these years to make her fall in love with him so he could take over Siciliano’s businesses. Gaetano is more powerful than his father. Without Terzo in the equation, he can take over the Don of two crime families.” Lake tightened his grip around mine as our vehicle entered the huge villa at the top of the hill after detours.What amazed me the most was the view of the ocean. It was magnificent.“What if he’s the one who tipped the authority about Terzo?”He looked at me as if my words made sense. “Son of a bitch, and we just walked into the trap.”“Maybe he wasn’t planning on killing us. Maybe he’s scared

    MAVERICK“I missed you, too, sis.” He caught me in the air and spun me around.“Put me down this instant, asshole!” I stared at him in disbelief. He looked exactly the same Terzo I met last week. “You’re alive.” I blinked rapidly, cupped his face, and gripped his arms, making sure he was not a ghost. I hit him in the chest because I was pissed off. “You son of a bitch! How are you even alive? I mourned for you, asshole. I spent hours crying for you, and here you are, still a smug son of a bitch!”“I know. I can explain,” he said calmly while I was so furious I could barely breathe.“I don’t need your explanation, asshole!” I actually do. I couldn’t care less about the people watching me. I was caught up in my emotions of being furious and happy at the same time that he was not dead.“Do you know anything about this, uncle?” Lake asked.“Not until I arrived here this morning. I came here with my son and Gabe to make sure you can come out alive. We were prepared to attack the compound i

    LAKE“No. I’m coming with you. I won’t just stand here and wait till it’s done.”“No offense, cuz, but you have no military training. These people we’re after are ruthless, and they’ve killed, tortured, mutilated people. No offense, Mr. Siciliano.”“None taken,” said Gaetano. I couldn’t believe they were alive, and they did all that plane crash to catch Giosue in the act.“So in what these people and the enforcement know was that you were dead. Why take chances? Why not just stay dead and run your business underground?”“Good point, but it only works for Papa. For me, I can’t stay dead,” Terzo said.I was sitting across from my father-in-law, a powerful mafia don. I knew one day this information, this meeting would catch me in the ass, and I had no idea how to make it go away.People would eventually find out who the father of Maverick was, and I had a name and a company’s image to keep. Yeah, but for the sake of my love for my wife, I took risks.“Let the enforcement come after me. I

    MAVERICKI paced in the basement, which was literally a bunker. One reason was that I felt claustrophobic. Second, I was worried about the guys who went to the compound. I hoped they had the element of surprise, or they could have walked into the trap.I checked my phone. No service. “There’s no service down here.”“So if we got locked up here, no one could find us? What if there’s a massive earthquake, and this villa falls down? We’re stuck, die in hunger and suffocation?”“If there’s a massive earthquake, we’re likely to be dead drowning from a tsunami, baby. Remember, the villa is facing the ocean.” He held my hand, pulling me on his lap.“Jeez. You’re not helping. Can you be a little more optimistic?”“Sit down. It’s only been twenty minutes.”I released a shaky breath as I sat on his lap. “I should have been out there, helping them. This wouldn’t have—”“Okay. Okay. This is not your fault. Your father has been doubtful about Giosue’s loyalty and is investigating his corruption. D

    LAKEMore gunfire echoed. It was dark outside the basement. The intruder might have cut the electricity and disabled the alarm, considering I did not hear it go off.I made sure Maverick locked the door before I walked away. I stopped by the stairs, hid myself behind the wall, and listened to footsteps coming my way.I couldn’t hear any, and the gunfire seemed outside the house. I blindly walked through the hallway to find a room.My phone suddenly vibrated, and the service came back. I took my phone and dialed my uncle. I knew his men would not risk him getting outside.“Why do you have service? Where the hell are you?”“I got out. I left my wife in the basement,” I whispered.“Are you insane?” my uncle asked sharply.“What’s going on? Did Giosue’s men manage to breach the house?” A suppressed gun sound caught my ear. “I’ll call you back.” I hung up the call and hid myself.Hiding behind the pillar, I noticed a shadow of a man despite the darkness and the lack of generator backup.

    MAVERICKI started to hyperventilate the longer I stayed alone, and tears kept rolling down my cheeks.I was terrified that Lake and everyone outside might be hurt. I gave a jolt as I heard someone must have twisted the doorknob from the outside.My hands were sweaty as I held the gun up. Until I finally heard five knocks. I released a shuddering breath as I got up and stuffed the gun in the band of jeans. Then I fumbled to unlock the door.The door swung open. The first person I saw was Lake, smiling at me. I lunged straight to him, jumped into his arms, and squeezed him tight. “I was so worried.”“I’m fine, baby. Thanks for listening to me.” He hugged me tight and kissed my temple. “Sorry for leaving you alone.”As I pulled apart, he looked at me, eyes filled with pain. “You’ve been crying.”“I thought I would be left here alone.” I rolled my eyes. “Fine. I was worried you’d get hurt.”He beamed at me, cupped my head, and kissed me hard, and that was what exactly I wanted— to prove

    MAVERICKThere were bruises all over Celestina’s chest and probably more all over her body. If I were her, I would have been in a coma. How did she tolerate that pain was a miracle?“That motherfucker!” I jumped at Terzo’s voice, booming inside the study. He said something in Italian before the door slammed next, vibrating in all corners.The room went utterly silent, but my sobs.“Shit.” I thought it was Linden.I turned to find his voice, and he just went to the door. “Gabe, what is it?”“They took Giosue with them,” said Celestina. “Terzo is gonna torture him in inhumanely possible.”I swallowed hard as I found it hard to digest. “You should take a rest.”“I’m fine. I’ll rest later.”“I can find you some painkillers.”“I’ll go find a medicine cabinet,” Lake volunteered.“So you’re Lake, the husband?” asked Celestina.“Yeah, the husband. I wish we’d met not in a circumstance like this.”She smiled. “Don’t ever raise a hand at her, or I will kill you.”I held my laugh as I sat next t

    TERZOThe thick wooden doubled-door swung open to my father’s office. It was one of the biggest rooms in the house where business was discussed and where the most secured safe and panic room were situated, where he kept his most valuables.I was assaulted by the scents of cedar wood and expensive cigars hung thick in the air.I let go of a shuddering breath as I stepped inside. Gaetano Siciliano, the patriarch of the family, the Don— one of the most powerful and feared heads of the mafias in Italian history— my father was sitting in his chair before his massive desk. His thick brows knitted together, hanging low over his dark caramel eyes and gray hair cut stylishly. In his sixties, he was still fit, strong, and could beat me in the ring if he desired to, but he always humbly said his prime was over.“Figlio.”“Come va, papa?”Papa nodded in acknowledgment. “Come in. How’s your sister?”Standing in the left corner that caught my eye was Celestina, my other beautiful sister who had bee

    MAVERICKI smiled as we finally had time for each other. Atlas just fell asleep.Lake cupped my face and traced my lips with his thumb. “Thank you for making me complete, the happiest man on this planet, and for being my wife.”My heart exploded with his words with so much joy. “Ditto. Now, no more talking. Just get rid of your clothes.”He held his laugh, shaking his head as we began taking our clothes off. There was nothing much to strip off. I was in my sexy red lingerie, and he was in his pants.To be honest, our only problem was our time for both of us— most of the time while we were naked in bed, Atlas began waking up and started to cry.“I love you, baby.”I parted my lips as I watched the desire flicker in his eyes. He then dipped down, tagging my bottom lip between his teeth. He groaned as he pressed his hard cock against my lower belly and then cupped my ass as he finally captured my mouth in a passionate kiss, gliding his tongue inside, dominating me.Moaning, I instantly w

    MAVERICKEight months later, Southampton I had a teary-eyed earlier as Cooper carried the precious angel I’d never thought I could love beyond anything in this world. He was five months old today and became the center of our universe. He was our ringbearer, and everyone, oh and ah, as he put on a cute little suit, while Nana and Beatreigh had been giggling since I walked down the aisle with my father, Gaetano.Like what he promised to my husband when Lake asked for the blessings he would be here, my friends and family, everyone I loved, including Terzo and Celestina. Lake did his luck inviting my mother. Surprisingly, she was here alone.“What’s in your head, baby?” the most handsome groom I’d ever seen smiled. He still took my breath away when he did that.After all these years of finding my perfect one, he came to me at the right time, even for the wrong reason.Then, our whole universe, Atlas Sawyer Bates Winston, came into our world, adding more colors to our lives. Sawyer was my

    LAKE“Oh, my God!” My mother was the first to react, seeing the golf ball pop into blue smoke as soon as my uncle executed a stroke.“I knew it. Look at her abdomen,” Augustine said to my mother.“I told you, remember?” Mom seemed to find a new good friend in Augustine. They went to coffee or shopping together and sometimes baked at home. I was glad they got along so well. They were going to be excellent guides in raising our child.When we held our gender reveal party, Maverick was already six months pregnant. It was worth the wait. Everyone was here— our families, close friends, her friends from the Bazz, and, of course, our extended family.“You should promote my baby products, Maverick.”Amused, I shook my head at Estelle. “Give my wife a break.”“You’re the one who’s not giving her a break,” London replied. “She’s going to wear LH maternity dress for the photoshoots.“Congratulations, cuz.” Striker came to me.“Thanks.” We hugged each other.“Are you ready to be a father?”“I don

    MAVERICK“Whoa. Why the long face?” I shoved a spoonful of butter pecan ice cream into my mouth as I watched Lake’s face seemingly in deep, miserable thoughts. “Babe?”“Yeah?” He looked at me, looking guilty.“Did you just cheat on me in that four hours?”“Baby, why do you always think like that?”“Lake, cheating doesn’t only mean you’re sleeping or kissing the other woman. Could be lying, keeping something important from me.”“I know.” He rose from the chair to join me on the couch. Then he pulled me close to him so he could hug me. “You like that?”“Yeah. You want some?” I scooped and offered, but he shook his head.“I want to tell you something.” I could feel the heaviness of guilt in his voice. Whatever he was about to say, I was sure he had reasons.“Shoot.”“I went to Nana.” It lightened up my chest when he called my grandmother Nana. One time, when he talked about my father, he called him Papa even though I still called Gaetano by his name.“And?” I met his gaze.“Your mother w

    LAKE“She did not ruin your life. You ruined your own life by sleeping with the most dangerous man,” Augustine spat her anger out.I felt her anger towards her daughter was decades long, and she just had time to let it out of her chest.“You were only eighteen,” she added. “I had high hopes for you, but you disappointed your father. You were reckless and stupid and slept with a married man. You didn’t even know what care and love meant, and after you were gone for months, you came to me five months pregnant. Don’t blame your miserable life and poor choices on the poor, innocent child. She’s been through enough and all of that because you caused her so much pain.”“What do you want from my wife, Florence?”She lifted her chin. “I just wanted to meet her.”“Why now? Why not before when she didn’t have a mother at her first school recital? On her first time having a period? I’m your last to get out of here without being dragged into a van. Terzo is still in town, Florence.”She blinked t

    LAKE“Are you okay?” I glanced down at Maverick working on her tan beside the pool.She looked pretty satisfied and comfortable in her yellow two-piece swimsuit and sunglasses, which shielded her eyes from the blazing sun.“Why do you keep asking me that?” She slightly lifted her chin.“Did you put enough sunscreen on?” I wanted to see her eyes but was disappointed that she kept her sunglasses on.“Don’t worry. I need more Vitamin D.” She strolled her gaze at me.“My Vitamin D isn’t enough for you?”When she saw me smirking, she slightly tipped her head down, glaring. “Not everything is about your dick, Lake. Going somewhere?”“Yeah. I’ll be back in a couple of hours.”“A date?”“Yes, Maverick. I have a date. You might as well put Airtag on me.”“Can you buy butter pecan ice cream for me?”“Of course. Anything else?”“Bring your cock back untouched.”I laughed, making her frown. “My cock is exclusively yours, baby.” I bent down to cup her face and kissed her on the lips. “I promise yo

    MAVERICK“Linden made fun of me. He sent me every copy of the books he read while Estelle had their first baby, Gabrielle. I’m done reading the first two books.”“Is that why you’re so calmer than me because of these books?”“You may be stubborn, but when it comes to our unborn child, you’re very responsible. Hence, we never argued about it. We most argued about money and my spending on you.”“I did not tell you that I love the ring.” I raised my hand. It was a Marquise cut, the same size as my first engagement ring.“Thank you, baby. I have good taste, you know.” I found some meaning in his words.“I bet.”Once he was done eating, he went to a small fridge and brought two bottled water. He opened one and gave it to me.“Thank you.” I drank it.“Can you stay a little longer?”“Why? Isn’t a chairman and CEO has a lot of work to do?”“That can wait.” He stood before me, cupped my head, and kissed me hard.My hands came to his arms, gripping them as he deepened the kiss and shoved his to

    MAVERICKWe finally found out the gender of our baby this morning. I could see the joy in Lake’s eyes as the doctor told us. He was excited and couldn’t wait to meet our baby. He was even teary-eyed as he kissed my tummy.One thing he assured me was that he didn’t care about either a boy or a girl as long as our child was healthy, and I couldn’t agree more.On the other hand, I was a little bit scared of a lot of things, including labor and the pressure of being a first-time mother.I was still astounded at how lucky I was to be his wife. Aside from being overprotective and bossy, he was also thoughtful and loving.After Beatreigh, Nana, and I visited a bridal boutique, we had a late lunch, and then I decided to pay a visit to my husband, who was never invited to the Chairman and CEO’s office. The last time I planned on walking into this building was my confrontation with Wallace, but it didn’t happen.So, I thought I would surprise Lake.I knocked on his office door when Venus told m
