Gently, I picked Selena up and carried her upstairs to our bedroom. The house was silent except for the occasional sound of a clock ticking. A simple meal out had turned into something that I wanted to protect her from.

When we reached the bedroom, I laid her down on the bed, her body feeling so light and fragile in my arms. I removed her shoes and her dress, leaving her in her underwear. I pulled the covers over her and kissed her forehead. She looked so peaceful in her sleep, so different from the fear I had seen in her eyes earlier. I felt a fierce protectiveness wash over me, a desire to keep her safe from all the monsters in this world, especially the ones that came with my line of work.

As I looked at her, I couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. Love, anger, and fear all battled within me. I was torn between wanting to hold her tight and never letting go, and the need to go out and tear Torres limb from limb for daring to come near her. But I knew that Selena needed this

    Seeing Selena so vulnerable and scared cuts into my soul. Antonio hovered in the doorway; his eyes filled with concern. "Is she okay?" "It was a nightmare," I told him, my voice tight. "Torres invading our personal space today... it's got her spooked." Antonio's gaze darkened. "We need to find a way to deal with this permanently." "We will," I assured him. "But first, we need to find out if there's more to his visit than just posturing. There might be something we're missing." Antonio nodded. "I'll get on it. But, Joseph," he said, his voice low. "You know what you might have to do." The unspoken words hung in the air. The implication was clear: if Torres continued to pose a threat, the only way to ensure Selena's safety might be to eliminate him. It was a harsh reality of our world, but one that I had to consider for the sake of my new wife. "Antonio, find George Mariani for me. I need to figure out if he has anything to do with this. He has been laying low ever since I

    The night grew later as Antonio, and his men searched the city for any trace of Selena's mother. I couldn't sit still, pacing the floor of the office as I awaited word. My mind raced with thoughts of Selena, of what she might think when she learned the truth. Would she feel betrayed? Would she understand that she was loved that she was mine now? There was a knock at my office door. Antonio was good, but I didn't think he would have information this quickly. "Enter." The door to my office opens, and Selena walks in, her eyes filled with mix of exhaustion and concern. She was in a silky white night gown that hugged her curves perfectly. "What is it, baby?" Her eyes searched the room, looking for something she couldn't quite find. "I miss my husband" she confessed, her voice small and trembling. "I just needed to see you." The sight of her, standing there in the doorway, looking so lost and alone, broke through the storm cloud of rage that had been brewing inside me. I set my

    The next morning, the ringing of my phone pierced the silence of our room. I felt Selena's grip tighten around me as I reached for it. I could feel the tension grow in my body as I read the message. "Everything okay?" "Yes, my love. I need to meet with Antonio. I had him looking into a situation for me. Stay in bed as long as you like. I will have the cook prepare us breakfast out on the patio later." The message from Antonio had been brief and cryptic, but the urgency was clear. He had found something about Selena's mother. I couldn't help the feeling of dread that settled in my stomach. What if she had been part of this mess all along? What if Selena's conception was more than just a one-time fling? The questions swirled in my head as I dressed and headed downstairs to the office. Antonio was already waiting for me, his face a mask of tension. He handed me a file without a word. I opened it and scanned the contents, my heart racing with each piece of information. Her mother'

  • My Mafia Savior   Chapter 31 - Selena

    Selena remained blissfully unaware of the storm brewing around us. She deserved happiness, even if it was only for a brief moment. I had to protect her from the ugliness of the truth, at least for now. But as the day went on, I knew I couldn't keep the secret much longer. The weight of it was crushing me. We had a quiet breakfast on the patio, as I had promised her. Selena talked about her dreams for the future, her eyes shining with hope. I listened, my heart breaking with each word. How could I tell her that her mother had been taken from her in such a brutal way? She believed her mother had walked out on her and that was so far from the truth. After we finished eating, I took her hand and led her back to our room. "There's something I need to tell you, Selena," I said, my voice heavy. Her smile faded, and she searched my face for answers. "What is it?" I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the conversation ahead. "What did your father tell you about your mother?" Sele

    I left Selena in the care of Dante, one of my most trusted men. He had strict instructions not to let her out of his sight and to report back to me immediately if she needed anything. With a heavy heart, I made my way to the garage, my mind racing with the possibilities of who could have been involved in Arianna's murder. The thought of Selena's mother suffering such a fate at the hands of someone I knew made me see red. There was also the issue of Gabriel Tucci's murder. It had been a supposed drive-by shooting, but now with the knowledge of his affair with Selena's mother, could the two incidents be related. Gabriel was up and coming in the ranks of the family. My father had been grooming him to take over for my uncle. Salvatore was greedy for the position of Don, but since I was the only son, the position was to be mine as my birthright. I got into the car and dialed Antonio. "What have you found?" "I'm still digging, but I've got a few leads," he said, his voice grim. "The n

    As I was driving back to the house, my mind was racing. Selena had been through enough. She had lost her mother in the most horrific way and had been lied to her entire life. I had to find a way to protect her from the fallout that was going to come from this. The truth had to come out, but not yet. Not until I had all the pieces and could control the narrative. I pulled into the driveway, my jaw clenched in determination. As I walked into the house, I could hear Selena's voice from the kitchen, talking to Marta. "It's a surprise," she was saying, her voice light and happy. "For Joseph." My heart swelled at the thought. Selena had never cooked for me before, but it was clear she was putting a lot of effort into this meal. The aroma of garlic and tomato sauce filled the air, reminding me of the comfort food my own mother used to make. As I approached the kitchen, I heard the sizzle of something frying and Selena's soft humming. She looked up as I entered, her eyes lighting up with

    We sat at the dinner table, Selena's creation before us. I took a bite, savoring the taste of my mother's recipe, made with Selena's love. The lasagna was perfect, the layers of noodles, sauce, and cheese melding together. It was as if my mother had returned to bless us from heaven. "This is amazing," I said, looking at Selena. She glowed under my praise, her eyes shining with happiness. It was moments like these that made me forget about the bloodshed and betrayal that often accompanied the mafia lifestyle. Selena took a bite, watching my reaction closely. "Thank you," she murmured, a shy smile playing on her lips. "It's like having a piece of home," I said, feeling the weight of the past and the warmth of our future intertwine. We ate in companionable silence, the comfort of our shared meal acting as a balm for our troubled souls. As we finished dinner, Selena looked up at me, her eyes shining with hope. "Could we maybe start trying for a baby soon?" she asked softly. I

    It has been a few weeks since George has been being held at the warehouse. Matteo would give him a few days to heal from his "questioning" and then start again. This has been very effective in the past when there was information needed. My phone vibrated on the nightstand, pulling me from my thoughts. It was Matteo. "Boss, I got what you wanted," he said, his voice tight with excitement. "George finally talked." My heart skipped a beat. This was it. The truth about Selena's mother's murder was finally within reach. "What did he say?" "Antonio is on the way to the estate with all of the information. He feels you need to hear it in person." I nodded, my mind racing with possibilities. "I'll be waiting," I said, my voice a low growl. Antonio arrived shortly; his eyes tired but determined. He handed me a manila envelope with papers inside. "It's all there," Antonio said, his voice heavy. "The details of Arianna's murder. And... something else." I read through the pages, my

    The night before the meeting with the De Angelos, Selena and I sat on the balcony overlooking the city we had sworn to protect. The stars above were a stark contrast to the shadowy streets below, a reminder of the dichotomy of our lives. "We can do this," she said, her voice soft but strong. I took her hand in mine, feeling the warmth of her skin against my own. "We will," I promised. "For our children, and for the future we've worked so hard to build." Our gazes locked, the love between us as unshakeable as the concrete jungle beneath our feet. Together, we had faced , and we knew this was just another challenge to overcome. The following day, the De Angelos arrived at our mansion, their presence a stark reminder of the alliances we had forged over the years. Their leader, Don Carlo De Angelos, walked in with an air of authority that matched my own, his eyes taking in the tension that hung in the air. "My dear friends," he said, his voice filled with concern. "What brings y

    We sat in the nursery, holding each other, until the early light of dawn began to peek through the windows. The storm outside had passed, leaving the city washed clean and ready for a new day. Our hearts, however, remained heavy with the weight of our son's words. The following days were filled with tension, as Selena and I navigated the delicate dance of family dynamics and mafia politics. Michael was distant, often leaving the house early and returning late, his mind clearly preoccupied with the burdens he felt as the soon-to-be Don. Isabella, torn between her love for her brother and her loyalty to us, tried her best to mediate, but the divide grew wider with each passing moment. In private, Selena and I discussed our strategy, our voices hushed so as not to carry beyond the confines of our suite. "We must be firm," she said, her eyes gleaming with determination. "We can't let him believe that love is weakness." "Agreed," I replied, stroking her belly gently. "But we must

    Isabella looked between us before slowly leaving the room, her gaze lingering on Michael, a silent plea for her brother to come to his senses. The moment the door clicked shut, the dam holding back my anger broke. "You dare to question my love for your mother, for our unborn child?" I roared, slamming my fist on the desk. "You dare to speak of survival as if love and family are weaknesses?" Michael flinched but held his ground. "Father, you're not seeing the big picture," he said, his voice tight with frustration. "This isn't about us, it's about the Family. We need a leader who will make the hard decisions, not one who is blinded by emotion." I took a deep breath, trying to keep my temper in check. "You think I don't make hard decisions?" I leaned forward, my eyes boring into his. "Every day I wake up with the weight of this city on my shoulders. Every day I make choices that could mean life or death for those I love." "But this isn't about you," Michael said, his voice ris

    The whispers grew into a murmur as the Families watched the confrontation unfold, the room buzzing with tension. Selena’s eyes searched mine, her hand trembling as she tried to process Michael’s outburst. The baby, once a whisper of joy, had become a battle cry for a struggle we hadn’t anticipated.I hated the sadness in Selena's eyes. She was holding up the best she could until the guests started to leave the party."Let's go to our room," I suggested, my arm around her waist. She nodded, her steps heavy with the weight of Michael's words.Once we were alone, Selena sank onto the bed, her hands covering her face. "I can't believe this," she sobbed. "Our own son, telling us to... to end our baby's life."I sat beside her, pulling her into an embrace. "He has some explaining to do to me, my love. I have not completely stepped down as Don, and will not allow him to talk like that to you."Selena's sobs grew quieter, her body relaxing slightly into my embrace. "Joseph, make love to me?

    Selena and I turned to face the twins, our hearts racing with excitement and trepidation. Their eyes searched ours, looking for the answer to the unasked question. With a deep breath, Selena announced, "Michael, Isabella, we have something to tell you." The twins looked at us, their expressions a mix of curiosity and concern. "Mom, Dad," Michael spoke first, his eyes searching ours for a clue, "what is it?" Selena took a deep breath and spoke with a smile that could illuminate the darkest of nights. "We're going to have another baby," she said, her voice filled with a softness that seemed to make the very air around us quiver with joy. Michael's expression froze, his eyes widening slightly before a flicker of something unreadable crossed his face. He was silent for a moment, his gaze flitting from Selena to me and back again. "Another baby?" he finally echoed, his voice low and measured. Isabella, on the other hand, lit up like a Christmas tree. "Oh my God!" she squealed, rushi

    Selena and I dance, our hearts light despite the gravity of the day's events. Our eyes meet and we share a knowing smile, a silent acknowledgment of the journey we've taken together. The whispers of our love story have grown into a legend that has inspired not just our Family, but the entire city. Our partnership, once a secret, is now the foundation upon which our children will build their reign.

    It’s time for me to step down as Don and let my children take over. He and Isabella are now twenty-one and it’s time for them to take over the Rossi family. Over the years, sometimes against Selena’s wishes Isabella has been trained to be an equal with Michael in running the family. Selena’s gaze meets mine, filled with a mix of pride and fear. We’ve raised them to be strong, to be leaders, but the world is still a dangerous place. The whispers of our past are now just whispers, but we know the reality of the mafia is never truly silenced. We’ve built a legacy of peace and prosperity, but the shadows of our history lurk, waiting for an opportunity to reclaim what we’ve worked so hard to change.

    The room fell quiet as the gravity of his words sank in. Selena's hand tightened in mine, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. Our love had been tested by fire, forged in the crucible of fear and betrayal, but it had never wavered. From the moment I claimed her as my own, she had been the beacon that guided me through the darkness. One by one, the Family members approached us, their expressions a mix of awe and gratitude. They had seen the horrors of the mafia firsthand, the lives lost and the hearts broken in the quest for power and vengeance. But our story, our unyielding bond, had given them a glimpse of something else—a possibility of redemption and peace in a world that seemed to offer only bloodshed. Selena's eyes met mine, and I knew she felt the same hope swelling within her chest. Our love had been a catalyst for change, a reminder that amidst the chaos, there were moments of purity and beauty worth fighting for. We had survived the storm, and now, together, we would lead

    "Marta, how am I supposed to go on without Joseph? The babies will never know how wonderful he was." I was trying so hard to hold back my tears, but they just would not stop flowing. "Selena, you're stronger than you know," Marta's voice was firm yet gentle. "You have the twins to live for, and Joseph's spirit will live on in them. Besides, we still have hope." Her words lingered in the air, hinting at something unspoken. My eyes searched hers, looking for a glimmer of what she wasn't saying. "What do you mean?" "The twins are a part of him, Selena," she said, her gaze never wavering. "And as long as you carry his legacy within you, so does he live. You must find the strength to keep going, not just for them, but for yourself." Her words resonated within me, a gentle reminder of the resilience that had carried me through so much already. I took a deep breath, willing the pain to subside, and nodded. "You're right," I murmured. "For Isabella and Michael, I will." "Marta, we need
