SOLD TO THE MAFIA LORD A bomb!!
ACCALIA'S POV"Then, let's go, shall we?" I replied politely, taking his lack of response as a sign of agreement.“Yeah, let's go." He followed me downstairs, pausing to grab a bottle of water for himself before heading towards the front door. But then something suddenly occurred to him, as evidenced by the way his face softened when he turned his piercing glare back upon me. "I'll meet you outside in a couple minutes?"I nodded mutely, watching his retreating figure disappear down the hall. As soon as the doors closed, I slumped against the wall, letting out a deep breath, unable to contain the emotions that had been building inside me since yesterday. As I stood there, alone, my thoughts were consumed by the events of the last several days. "Young miss."I looked up to see Enzo waving at me happily, the sight causing my heart to warm. Though, the familiarity of the gesture also served as a reminder of the circumstances surrounding the incident earlier today. "Hello, Enzo. How is

ACCALIA POVI hesitated, unsure if he was telling the truth, if he'd even told me the entire truth. The way he'd brushed off my questioning eyes suggested otherwise, but I decided not to push the issue, knowing that he wouldn't tell me.I nodded silently, unsure of where this sudden decision had come from, but accepting nevertheless. "Well, then that sounds like fun." My voice sounded hollow even to my own ears, but I hoped that Don would be too engrossed with his plans to care. He must have sensed my discomfort, for he turned his head and flashed a quick but reassuring smile. But, instead of returning my smile, he seemed to grow more distant, his gaze fixed once again on the window before us, his fingers tightening around one another.After some time had passed, I began to feel nervous, my mind spinning rapidly with the numerous possibilities that presented themselves. What if he changed his mind? What if it became a disaster? What if I ended up trapped somewhere, far away from h
SOLD TO THE MAFIA LORD into the unknown
ACCALIA'S POV"What?" I screamed."Someone is threatening to kill us." His tone was emotionless; there was no indication that he even cared that he'd just dropped such an alarming statement in my lap. It seemed to me that he was completely disinterested in the whole situation, almost as though he were bored, detached from the situation. I couldn't blame him if he was. He had just received news that someone was attempting to kill him and he was doing nothing to prevent it. I guess the realization of how serious this situation was hit home for him; his expression grew dark and grim, anger radiating from him, his jaw clenched tightly, and his brow furrowed deeply. "They're either trying to lure us into a trap, or they've made their intentions known already. Either way, we'll never reach our destination" he sighed dejectedly."How can you be so calm? We're being attacked" I cried, feeling overwhelmed as panic crept its way into my heart. "I'm not calm" he retorted bitterly "it's only
SOLD TO THE MAFIA LORD Freedom?
DON'S POV"What?" she screamed.I kept my tone flat, deliberately void of emotion. "Someone is threatening to kill us." It was crucial to me to appear unfazed, even if inside, my mind was racing and I was trying to piece together a plan while suppressing the surge of worry threatening to break my composed exterior.To her, I probably seemed disinterested, maybe even bored with the situation. But that was so far from the truth. Inside, I was analyzing every possible angle, considering every threat. The news wasn't entirely unexpected, yet admitting it out loud made it all the more real and admittedly, daunting.As the weight of my words settled in, I felt the familiar clench of anger and frustration. It was as if a storm brewed within me, yet I allowed none of it to surface. "They're either trying to lure us into a trap, or they've made their intentions known already. Either way, we'll never reach our destination," I admitted, more to myself than to her, feeling a heavy sense of defeat
SOLD TO THE MAFIA LORD A village
DON'S POV"Here, let me help you," I offered, my voice calm but my hands betraying my anxiety as I fixed her parachute. I joked about her putting it on backward, trying to lighten the mood, but the truth was, I was scared. Terrified, actually. She glared at me, not sure whether to laugh or cry. "Now's not the time for jokes, Don!""Oh, I beg to differ," I replied, securing the last strap. "If we can't laugh in the face of danger, then when can we? Besides, I've always fancied the idea of arriving in style. Parachuting into a crisis sounds just about right."As I helped her into her parachute, I couldn't help but notice the total difference between the two of us. While Accalia here was struggling not to pass out from sheer terror.The me? I was collected and was even making jokes at the edge of disaster."Remember," I continued, checking the straps on her harness with an efficiency that I was sure did nothing to calm her nerves, "it's just like jumping into a pool. Except the water is
SOLD TO THE MAFIA LORD Blending in
DON'S POVThe shore was a distant promise as I fought against the heavy current, Accalia's weight was like a constant reminder of my failure to protect her. Every stroke I made was a battle and every breath I took was a victory, but the sea was relentless.Then, darkness took over me and exhaustion claimed my consciousness like a debt that was long overdue.I woke up coughing and spluttering, the gritty sand beneath me was both a discomfort and a relief. The vast sea raged a few feet away, indifferent to the drama it had hosted. Panic sliced through the fog in my brain. Accalia!Turning frantically, I found her lying motionless beside me. My heart stopped. No, no, no, this couldn’t be happening. Scrambling to her side, I checked for a pulse, for any sign of life. She was cold, so very cold. "Accalia!" The panic in my voice matched the fear gripping my heart. She was beautiful, even in unconsciousness, her chest barely moving."Accalia, come on. You have to wake up," I whispered, my v
SOLD TO THE MAFIA LORD Making the best of it
DON'S POV"We're not here to cause trouble," I tried to explain, using slow, clear English and hoping for some understanding. To my relief, a young man from the group responded in English, albeit with a heavy accent."You are safe here," he assured us. "Our village is open to those who need shelter.""You're not from around here, are you?" he asked, his English tinged with an accent I couldn't place."No, we—" I started, but Accalia squeezed my hand, signaling me to be cautious."We had an accident," she said instead, her voice stronger now. "Our parachute... we ended up here."The man nodded, understanding dawning in his eyes. "I see. You're lucky to be alive. The sea can be unforgiving. My name is Kito. Welcome to Octa Cove. We don’t get many visitors here.""Octa Cove," I repeated, the name rolling off my tongue. It sounded peaceful, a stark contrast to the ordeal we'd just survived."Yes. Come, let's get you both some dry clothes and something warm to drink. You can tell us more a

To both our relief, a young man from the group responded in English, who was albeit with a heavy accent."You are safe here," he assured us. "Our village is open to those who need shelter.""You're not from around here, are you?" he asked, his English tinged with an accent we couldn't understand."No, we—" I heard Don start, but I gave his hand a small squeeze, like I was signaling him to be cautious."We had an accident," I quickly responded. Instead, my voice was stronger now. "Our parachute... we ended up here."The man nodded, there was understanding dawning in his eyes. "I see. You're lucky to be alive. The sea can be unforgiving.
