SARAH

I sat in the living room, the sound of the ticking clock filling the silence around me as I focused on the knitting needles in my hands. It had been weeks since Marco’s incident, weeks since I’d taken care of him when he was so weak and vulnerable, his defenses stripped away by pain and exhaustion. It had been a strange time, seeing him like that. A side of Marco I’d never seen before, and one I wasn’t sure I’d ever see again.

I sighed, the yarn slipping through my fingers as I thought about how different he was now. Back then, when he could barely stand, when he needed me for every little thing, he was softer. Almost… kind. And for a moment, I’d almost believed that maybe, just maybe, there was more to him than the cold, hard man I’d known him to be.

But now? Now he was back to being an asshole. The same arrogant, stubborn man who barked orders and expected everyone to fall in line. The same man who looked at me with that infuriating smirk, who uttered things like, “I love you,

  • Owned By The Mafia Lord   Chapter 389

    SARAH The first thing I noticed when I woke up was the air. It wasn’t heavy like it had been. It didn’t press down on my chest or sit in my throat like a lump I couldn’t swallow. It wasn’t perfect, but it was different. Lighter. Like the house had taken a breath, and now I could too. I stayed still for a moment. Listening. Feeling. Marco’s words were still in my mind—low, sure, cutting through all the noise that had lived in my head since Maddalena arrived. “No one gets to silence you in my house again.” I didn’t know if I believed him completely yet. But I wanted to. And that was more than I’d had in days. I pushed the blanket aside and stood. The floor was cold under my feet, but I didn’t mind. It grounded me. I tied my robe tighter around my waist, brushed my fingers through my hair, and walked out into the hallway. Everything felt still. But not the wrong kind. Not like the house was watching me, waiting for me to slip. No, this felt… normal. Or as close to normal as anythi

    THIRD PERSONThe phone rang twice. Then a third time. Maddalena sat perfectly still in her chair, legs crossed, the stem of her gin glass resting lightly between her fingers. The candlelight danced on the dark wood desk, throwing soft shadows across her face. She looked at the phone like it owed her something. Calm, steady. Confident.By the fourth ring, the call connected.“Sofia,” she said, voice low and smooth. “Tell me what I need to hear.”There was a pause, then a soft, amused breath on the other end. A small laugh followed. The kind that said she’d been waiting for this moment.“You always start like that,” Sofia said. “Straight to the point. No greetings. No warmth.”“I don’t call to chat,” Maddalena replied. “I call for results.”“Well,” Sofia said, her voice sharper now, more grounded, “you’ll be pleased. I’m packed. Everything’s done. My apartment’s empty. I left the keys this morning.”“No loose ends?” Maddalena asked, already knowing the answer.“None. I didn’t leave a tr

    MARCOI didn’t look back when I slammed the door. It echoed hard, deep, through the long hallway like a warning. My heart was still thudding in my chest, and my fists were clenched so tight my knuckles hurt. I didn’t go back to the room. I couldn’t—not yet. My whole body was buzzing with the heat from that argument. I needed air. Or a drink. Or both.I cut through the house, ignoring the staff who stepped aside when they saw my face. I didn’t want questions or polite greetings. I wanted silence.I went straight to the back wing, the old part of the house where my father used to escape. A private bar, barely touched in years. The door creaked when I opened it, and the room still smelled faintly of oak and dust. But the whiskey was still there—lined up neatly like someone was waiting to pour it.I shrugged off my jacket and let it fall onto the stool. Rolled up my sleeves. Poured a glass. Didn’t even look at the label. Just took a hard gulp.The burn hit the back of my throat fast. I di

    MARCOI knocked once on her door, more out of formality than respect, and pushed it open before she had the chance to answer. I wasn’t in the mood to play polite.The room smelled like citrus and rosemary. Candlelight glowed from a small table near the corner, casting soft shadows along the velvet curtains and antique furniture. Maddalena sat there like she had all the time in the world, lounging in a low chair with one leg crossed neatly over the other. Her wine-colored silk robe draped smoothly over her, like she hadn’t moved in hours. A crystal glass rested in her hand, filled with clear gin and garnished with a sprig of rosemary that floated like it belonged there. She looked completely unbothered. Almost smug.Her eyes lifted to mine as I stepped in. She smiled faintly, like she’d been expecting me.“Marco,” she said, her voice calm, polished. “Right on time. I was just thinking about how quiet the house has gotten. You want a drink?”She swirled the glass in her hand and held i

    MARCOThe city lights blurred past the windshield as I drove with no real direction. I should’ve gone straight home. I knew that. But something in me didn’t want to walk through that door just yet—not with the weight between us sitting in every corner of that house.So I turned off the main road, took a street I hadn’t driven in a while. Old route. Quiet. Familiar.Ten minutes later, I was pulling into a narrow lot behind a bar I used to come to before things got this heavy. Before marriage… Before it felt like the walls of my own house were pressing in on me.I didn’t come here often, but the bartender always remembered. His name was Luca. Broad shoulders, shaved head, always polishing the same damn glass like he was waiting for a reason to throw it.When I stepped inside, the smell hit me—wood, whiskey, and old smoke that never really left. The place hadn’t changed. Low lights. Wooden floors that creaked when you walked too fast. Booths along the wall, bar stools half-filled.I walk

    MARCOI woke up slow.Not the kind of slow that comes with sleep. The kind that creeps in after days of something not feeling right. I stared at the ceiling for a while, chest heavy in a way I couldn’t explain. Not pain. Not sickness. Just weight.I pushed myself up, rolled my shoulders, stretched my arms out till the joints cracked. My body moved like it’d been through something, even if the night before had been quiet. I rubbed the back of my neck, then my face. Blinked against the soft morning light leaking through the curtains.The chair by the wall caught my eye.Her robe wasn’t there.I frowned, squinting at the empty spot. That robe never moved. She always folded it neatly before bed and left it there in the morning, soft and draped like a second skin.The tray beside the nightstand was bare too. No coffee. No steam. No note. No sign of her.Something twisted low in my gut.I kicked off the blanket, stood, and walked over to the window. I pulled the curtain aside slowly, not kn
