My Mafia Dominant Is Back 51. Failed Assassination
Two guards escorted a woman toward the cell. One of them unlocked the door and gestured for the woman to step inside. Lyla took just one glance and felt a chill run down her spine. She wasn't even sure if this person was a woman. The newcomer's physique was broad and muscular, her hair cut short, and her expression menacing. If it weren’t for the fact that Lyla had stolen a few glances to confirm she had no Adam’s apple, she might have believed this was a man.The woman threw Lyla a cold, challenging look. Lyla stared back, refusing to back down. She knew that any sign of weakness would only invite more aggression. On the outside, she tried to remain calm, but inside, every nerve was on edge. Her hand discreetly slid toward the makeshift weapon hidden beneath her pillow—that rolled-up paper, sharp enough to defend herself if needed.But the woman made no further move. She simply plopped down on the lower bunk across from Lyla, stretched out, and soon began snoring loudly.Lyla lay ba

Carlo sat on the balcony of the mansion's third floor, staring blankly at the waves in the distance. The wind whipped the sea, sending the waves crashing against the rocks with a low, rumbling roar. The setting sun painted half the sky a brilliant red, casting a shimmering glow on the water like flames dancing on the surface. Beside him were Valentina's painting tools, her easel holding a canvas she had been working on.Just a few minutes earlier, Valentina had set down her brushes, mentioning she’d learned a new recipe for a grape-based drink and wanted to make it for her son. She had gone to the kitchen, leaving Carlo alone. Taking advantage of her absence, he lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. His mother didn’t like the smell of smoke, so he rarely indulged in her presence. But at this moment, he needed the calming effect to settle his restless thoughts.Life in the mansion over the past few days had followed a similar pattern. Carlo avoided his father whenever possible, not wan

A shard of glass fell onto Valentina’s slipper, slicing through the smooth skin of her bare foot. Bright red blood seeped slowly from the wound. She winced in pain, collapsing onto the floor, her face pale, showing a mix of vulnerability and helplessness. She looked up at Carlo with pleading eyes. “Son, help me up, please.”Carlo instinctively took a few steps toward her but stopped abruptly, realizing something. “How much more have you been hiding from me?” he asked, his voice cold but laced with pain, towering over her.Valentina's expression shifted to one of wounded innocence. Tears welled in her eyes as she said, her voice trembling, "Yes, it was me... I ordered Hudson to kill that man. The day you came back, your phone was broken. Hudson couldn’t reach you, so he called the landline, and Maria picked up. While I was upstairs touching up my makeup, Maria told me. So, I called him back just to tell him your phone wasn’t working. That’s when he informed me that man was going after
Last Updated : 2024-10-13My Mafia Dominant Is Back 54. The Fight for Lyla
In the largest hospital of Westhaven...Lyla lay silently on her bed, her head wrapped in thick bandages, with an IV drip attached to her arm. Though the medication had put her into a deep sleep, the tightly furrowed brow and trembling lips betrayed the agony she was enduring, as if trapped in a relentless nightmare. The room was silent, save for the soft, steady beeping of the heart monitor and the sound of her labored breathing.Lucas sat by her bedside, looking exhausted, his expression a mixture of pain and helplessness. Clutched tightly in his hand was the medical report he had just received from the nurse: a concussion, fractured ribs, and multiple soft tissue injuries. He couldn't image the horrors Lyla must have faced while in there. As he gazed at her pale face, a wave of sorrow and anger surged within him.The memory of the day he brought Lyla back from the police station still haunted him.To gather the bail money, Lucas had been forced to take out a high-interest loan.

The first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the gap in the curtains, gently illuminating the hospital room. Lyla slowly opened her eyes, her vision still a bit blurry. However, a familiar figure was unmistakably visible—Carlo, slumped at her bedside, fast asleep. His furrowed brow and slightly parted lips showed exhaustion, while bruises and cuts marked his face, as if he'd just been in a fight.She blinked, unsure if she was dreaming. Ever since losing consciousness from the beatings in prison, she hadn't fully woken up until now. She couldn’t understand how she was lying safely in a hospital bed, and even less so why Carlo was there. Her last memory before blacking out felt distant, and she struggled to recall anything that followed.She tried to sit up, wanting to reach out and touch Carlo to confirm if this was real—after all, she had been dreaming about him constantly. But the moment she moved, a sharp, searing pain surged through her body. It felt as if someone had struc
Last Updated : 2024-10-15My Mafia Dominant Is Back 56. Hudson's Betrayal
Carlo sat in the small garden behind the hospital’s inpatient building. A cigarette, already burned down to the filter, clutched between his fingers. He had borrowed it a few minutes ago from someone passing by.He hadn't taken more than a few puffs, just holding it between his fingers, twisting the butt as if it were the head of an enemy lurking in the shadows—one he wanted to crush. The cold wind grazed his trembling hands, dulling the burning sensation from his fingertips, yet doing nothing to calm the fire raging inside him.It was colder here than by the coast, and he had rushed out without enough clothing. He wore only a thin shirt and jacket, letting the freezing air pierce his skin like blades, but he didn’t seem to notice.He had chosen to sit here on purpose, intentionally allowing the cold to envelop him, hoping it would dampen the murderous rage boiling within him. He wanted to kill—the people responsible for what had happened to Lyla."Sir." Hudson's voice sounded from be

The ward. Lucas sat quietly by Lyla’s bedside, a bouquet of violets in hand—Lyla’s favorite flower. He gently placed the delicate purple blooms on the nightstand, their soft hues glowing in the sunlight, casting a serene atmosphere that matched Lucas’s calm and composed demeanor.Lyla had just finished a series of medical tests and was reclining in bed, exhausted both physically and emotionally. Carlo’s abrupt departure weighed heavily on her, like a boulder crushing her heart. She didn’t have the energy to deal with anyone right now, but when she saw Lucas, she forced a weak smile, her voice soft with concern, “I heard you posted the million-dollar bail for me, Lucas. How did you manage to gather that much money so quickly?”Lucas, who had been pulling the curtains back to let in more light, turned to her with a calm, reassuring smile. “Don’t worry about it. I have my ways.”Lyla’s expression darkened. She lowered her gaze, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of her lips as she sh
Last Updated : 2024-10-16My Mafia Dominant Is Back 58. “Money Solves Everything”
Carlo didn't pay much attention to Lucas’s question, his expression calm and unreadable as he watched the people wheeling Lyla away, not moving until the last of them disappeared down the corridor.Only when everyone had gone did he finally turn, pushing Lucas aside with a swift motion. He adjusted his collar with deliberate precision, then spoke in a cold, serious tone: "Don’t worry. I’m just moving her to the VIP suite on the top floor. She’ll receive the best treatment and care there."Lucas’s brow furrowed as he stood his ground, growling, "Lyla doesn’t need your fake generosity. I can take care of her myself."Carlo’s lips curled into a mocking smile, his usual expression of disdain. "Oh, really? And how exactly do you plan to take care of her? What about when she needs to use the toilet? To bathe? Can you do that? Who are you to her, exactly? What makes you think you have the right to claim you can look after her?"Lucas froze, caught off guard by Carlo’s barrage of questions. A

My Mafia Dominant Is Back 97. The Cruel Truth
Lyla woke up in an unfamiliar room. As she slowly opened her eyes, the dimly lit space made it difficult to observe where she was. The high ceilings and vintage furniture exuded an air of luxury, yet it felt cold and impersonal. Heavy curtains blocked out any light from the outside, leaving the faint, warm glow of a bedside lamp as the room's only illumination.This was clearly not a hospital, but the IV in her arm told a different story. For a moment, she was disoriented, her sense of time muddled. What injury had she sustained? What illness was she recovering from? Fragments of her past—the fight in the prison and the car accident—flashed in her mind. Then, a sharp pain in her lower abdomen pulled her back to reality. A flood of memories surged forth—she might have lost her child.Panic took hold. She sat up abruptly, ignoring the tug of the IV, and instinctively placed her hand over her abdomen.“Lyla, you’re awake. Are you okay?” Lucas’s voice came from beside her. Once a source o
My Mafia Dominant Is Back 96. Her Greatest Loss
The car sped down the desolate highway. Lucas told Lyla that Carlo would surely send someone to search her mother’s house. It was safer to stay away from her mother, both for Camilla’s safety and her own. He promised to take her to his hometown—a peaceful, quiet place where she could stay until the baby was born.Lyla, unsure where else to go, silently agreed to his plan. Resting her head against the window, she watched the scenery blur past like a fast-forwarded film. Her mind wandered back to moments with Carlo—his sudden appearances, abrupt disappearances, his truths and lies, and the magnetic charm that had once captivated her. She found herself questioning: was it the man she had fallen for, or simply the physical connection between them? More than once, she wished it had only been about his looks—the sculpted body, the possessive control, and the irresistible allure. If that were all, she wouldn’t be in this much pain. There wouldn’t be the betrayal, the despair. The only ce
My Mafia Dominant Is Back 95. The Plan is On
Hudson’s words left Lucas frozen, unable to recover from the shock. Before he could fully process what he had just heard, Hudson continued, “Listen, Lucas. Ending the pregnancy is for everyone's best. Without the baby, Lyla will have no ties to Sir Carlo. Mrs. Bianchi won’t waste her time going after her, and she’ll lose her value to Blake. Her life will be spared, and you won’t have to pay an even steeper price. Isn’t that a better option than killing her outright?”Hudson’s voice buzzed in Lucas’s ears, like an incessant drone.He couldn’t deny the fact that Hudson's words were convincing. Without the baby, the bond between Lyla and Carlo would be irrevocably severed. A few minutes of tense silence passed before Lucas made his decision.“What do you want me to do?” he croaked, his voice rough with resignation. “I can’t guarantee it will be completely safe to… end it. You clearly have a plan, don't you? What is it?”“Of course, I have a plan,” Hudson replied smoothly, unfazed by Lucas
My Mafia Dominant Is Back 94. Kill Her Baby
"Who the hell do you think you are to order me around?" Lucas stormed forward, grabbing Carlo by the collar, his voice shaking with fury. "I warned you—if you hurt her again, I’ll never forgive you.""What the hell does this have to do with you?!" Carlo snapped, shoving Lucas's hand away. He didn’t even know who he was truly angry with, but the storm of emotions raging inside him demanded release. "She’s carrying my baby! Of course, I’ll protect her and the baby. This is none of your fucking business!""Enough!" Lyla’s voice cut through the tension, low but sharp. She clutched her still-flat stomach, her eyes brimming with pain and despair. "This isn’t your baby, Carlo. And I will never let you see it. You don’t deserve to be a husband, a father, or to be loved!"Though she spoke quietly, afraid of being overheard, her words were like daggers. The raspy, restrained anguish in her tone sliced through the night, hitting Carlo like a blow to the chest. His voice trembled as he tried to p
My Mafia Dominant Is Back 93. Caught by Isabella
"Who is this woman?!" Isabella quickly approached Carlo, her eyes sharp with suspicion as she examined the disheveled, tear-streaked woman before her. The stranger's casual attire was out of place for the elegant engagement party, and she clearly wasn’t one of the household staff either.Carlo clenched his fists tightly, avoiding Lyla's gaze and refusing to meet Isabella's eyes either. His voice was cold and detached as he replied, "I don’t know. Just some crazy woman. I found her acting suspicious, so I followed her out to check. No big deal. I'll call Hudson to handle this. Come on, babe, let’s head back. We shouldn’t keep the guests waiting."He grabbed Isabella’s arm, attempting to lead her away, but she jerked free. "A crazy woman?" she snapped, clearly irritated. "I won’t allow anyone to ruin our engagement party. There’s no need to bother Hudson over this."With a sharp snap of her fingers, two burly men stepped out from the shadows at her beckon. Speaking in Italian, one asked
My Mafia Dominant Is Back 92. "You don’t deserve to be his father. Never!”
The mansion was enormous, filled with laughter and brightly lit from corner to corner. Lyla fought back tears and nausea as she tried to navigate her way out, relying on her memory of how she had arrived. She was aware that Carlo was silently following her, but he dared not call out to her in front of the crowd, and she dared not stop. They weaved through the bustling throng of guests, Lyla quickening her pace with each step, until she finally reached the dark, desolate vineyard.“Stop following me!” Lyla couldn’t hold it in any longer. The emotions she had been suppressing erupted as she turned to Carlo and screamed, her voice raw and miserable. “Don’t you have more important things to do? Go back! Be a happy fiancé! Why should you care if I live or die? I don’t need you anymore! I never will!”Her screams were filled with such pain and despair that she seemed like a porcelain doll, covered in cracks and on the verge of shattering at any moment. Carlo’s instinct was to rush forward a
My Mafia Dominant Is Back 91. Lyla Witnesses The Engagement
Lyla sat quietly at a secluded table, her gaze fixed on the center of the grand ballroom. There, Carlo, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit, was recounting the story of how he and Isabella met and fell in love.Just minutes ago, Blake had escorted her to this dimly lit corner. He had placed her at an inconspicuous table, posted two men to keep an eye on her, and then disappeared.When she arrived, she caught the tail end of Leonardo’s announcement—Carlo being granted the family name and partial control of its power. Carlo stood proudly beside his father, with his mother on the other side, her arm looped around Leonardo’s, her smile radiant. They looked like the perfect family, united and unshakable. Carlo’s expression was brimming with triumph, his striking green eyes gleaming with ambition and a hunger for power—something Lyla had never seen in him before. In that moment, he felt like a stranger to her.Now, the spotlight had shifted to Carlo and Isabella. The stunning, confident
My Mafia Dominant Is Back 90. Carlo's Ambition
The mansion on the seaside cliff was unusually lively today. The engagement party of Carlo Ferretti and Isabella Cavalieri wasn’t just a union of two powerful Mafia families; it symbolized their collective expansion into international territories. The Cavalieri family had flown in hundreds of members from Europe, while the Ferretti family made an equally impressive show of force, gathering nearly all their key figures. Adding to the grandeur were representatives from other factions hoping to curry favor with the two Mafia dynasties.The whole thing felt like a royal wedding—lavish and over the top.For Carlo, this wasn’t just another party—it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He had spent over two decades fighting for recognition within his family. While his initial agreement to marry Isabella had been a strategy to save Lyla, recent developments had shifted his perspective. Just before the engagement, his father, Leonardo, had visited him in the hospital despite his failing hea
My Mafia Dominant Is Back 89. Take Her to the Scene
Lyla felt like she’d been hit over the head, her mind foggy and spinning. Stumbling, she grabbed onto the table for support, picking up the invitation and staring at it as if she didn’t recognize the words. She flipped it over, studying it again and again.“No… I don’t believe it,” she murmured, her voice trembling as if she were trying to convince herself. “He told me Isabella was only six. They… they can’t be getting engaged.”“Oh, so that’s what he told you?” Blake sneered. “No wonder. When you heard it yourself that day, I thought your temper would have you walking out on him for good. But looks like even a stupid lie like that was enough to fool you. Ah, poor girl. I almost feel sorry for you.”Lyla shook her head, unsure if she was rejecting Blake’s words or denying that Carlo had lied. Her eyes filled with tears, but she bit them back. “No, you’re lying. You’re just using me to hurt him!”Blake clicked his tongue, his expression laced with fake sympathy and disdain. “Why don’t
