EpilogueThe big day had finally come. Claire stood in front of the mirror, her heart steady as a feeling of peace washed over her. Her ivory dress fit perfectly, the lace sleeves lightly touching her skin. The soft train followed behind her, and she admired how the dress moved, as if it was made just for her. There was excitement in the air, but Claire felt completely calm.She took a deep breath, letting the peace settle in as she gently smoothed the bottom of her dress. Today wasn’t just about the wedding; it was about the future she and Don were about to start together.The place for their vows was perfect. The lake, with its still waters reflecting the bright blue sky, symbolized the peace Claire had found in Don. Sunlight shimmered on the water, giving the area a golden glow, while a gentle breeze moved through the trees. White chairs were lined up neatly by the shore, and a beautiful arch of wildflowers, simple yet lovely, stood where they would exchange their vows.As Claire l
Dear readers, this is to let you know that this is the continuation and book 2 of, Stuck Between Two Mafia Hot Lords.Title: She's Mine Now: Final Clash Of The Mafian Lords****Chapter 1 Claire's POVI knew I was supposed to be focused on the party, but damn, I was literally married to the hottest man on the planet, and these wedding guests wouldn’t let me have him.I’ve been waiting all day to have him to myself, but time seemed to crawl at a glacial pace.I clenched my fist, holding back the urge to scream in frustration. My eyes trailed over him as he greeted the guests. He’d undone a few buttons on his shirt, leaving just enough of his chest exposed to make my thoughts spiral. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing his strong forearms.He looked tired, probably just as much as I was, but when his eyes found mine from across the room, he gave me a smile that made my heart race. That smile promised me he’d be by my side soon.“Easy, tiger. You’re about to devour him whole,” Elyse t
Chapter 2CLAIRE'S POVIt warmed my heart that I wasn't the only one dying from this sexual tension.My cheeks burned red, and I quickly lowered my gaze, but he cupped my face.When he lifted it, his eyes softened with emotion as he noticed the tears welling up in my eyes."Bambina, what's the matter? Are you okay? Are you sick? Do I need to call a doctor?" he asked hurriedly.His voice rose with panic, and I had to control myself from bursting into laughter.I really loved this man with all my heart, and I didn’t know what I’d ever do without him.He was my light when my world fell into darkness.He saved me, and I felt bad for keeping away from him for over a year. But I had to heal. We both did, and now we are together, still madly in love, and hopefully better versions of ourselves."Come, talk to me, amor. Stop zoning out on me," he said in a husky voice, breaking my thoughts and bringing me back to reality.His gentle touch on my cheeks made my heart bloom with emotions, overwhe
Chapter 3Claire’s POVI wanted to scream. To yell at him for toying with me like this.But staring into his eyes made whatever I wanted to say die in my throat.The way his hair fell over his face, looking all messy after my hands had worked through it roughly, made him even more appealing. More ravishing, and it made me want to devour him so badly."What are you doing to me?" I blurted out as soft pants escaped my lips.He half-smiled before letting out a soft chuckle, then his eyes swept over my body, and I swallowed hard.It was the kind of look that said, we still have a long way to go, and I was already exhausted.But a part of me was really excited about the game he was playing.Let's see how long he was going to last with this act.I took his hand that was still slick with my juices and ran my tongue over it, not breaking eye contact, and I could see his face harden.He was holding it back. Good.I bit my lip and sucked harder on it before taking it fully into my mouth, and I
Chapter 4DON'S POVI felt my member hit her G-spot, and I groaned, my head resting on her neck as I continued to let my dick stretch every part of her pussy. It felt so good. A cool sensation enveloped my entire body as I waited for her to get accustomed to the feeling.My chest panted heavily as I started moving my hips forward. The way she bit the side of her lips, not breaking eye contact, made me move even faster. Her lips parted wider as her moans filled my ears. It was like I was listening to my favorite song, and slowly, every ounce of control slipped from my fingers.Her insides were too good. Too good.I promised myself I was going to be gentle today, but narrowing my eyes at her gorgeous body made me realize I couldn't keep that promise. I wanted to feel every inch of her skin against mine. Because she was mine.I slid one of her legs against my shoulder and began pounding her wetness faster and harder. My head began to spin, and I found it hard to breathe. My grip tightene
Chapter 5DON'S POVMy head snapped toward the kitchen when I heard a rattle sound. Did someone break into my house. My face clenched with furious as my hand tightened over my gun. Whoever it was, the person had just stepped into a lions den. I made sure my steps were silent in order not to give away my advantage of a surprise attack.In a swift move I badge into the kitchen ready to take down whoever had the guts to disrupt my morning. "Whoa! Whoa! What are you doing." Claire yelled with both of her hands up in the air. The shock and the fear on her face was evident. "Are you trying to kill me? Please put the gun down." She yelled with her eyes popping from their sockets in fear. The words got lost in my mouth as I stared at my wife looking ravishing and exceptional tempting this morning. She was wearing one of my white sleeved shirt and the way it hung loose on her body made me smile in amazement. Her shoulders was slightly exposed and her neck was filled with love bite th
Chapter 6CLAIRE'S POVThe way his eyes glimmered as he spoke made me bite my lip. He was making me lose my breath. The way he effortlessly teased me was making me shiver. I was trying to hold myself back from anything because, after last night's series of lovemaking, I was exhausted. It took a miracle for me to even climb the stairs to make myself breakfast.Now hearing him tease me with that flirtatious voice suddenly gave me energy. The way my body always responded to his voice, his touch, and his command left a small atom of fear lingering in my heart.That was how much of an effect he had on me. It was as if I was under a spell, but I wasn’t complaining. As long as it was him, I wouldn’t mind being trapped in his world.But sooner or later, we’d both have to face reality. For now, all I wanted was to focus on my honeymoon and enjoy myself until life decided to throw whatever it wanted at us.And if possible make a honeymoon baby. A mini Don. Don's cold hands harshly pressed on
Chapter 7Claire's POVMy cheeks were pressing against the counter as I felt the weight of Don's hand on the back of my head, pushing me down. He pressed against me from behind.My breath caught in my throat as I gasped. He thrust inside me with full force, deeper, with no mercy."D... Don... Ah." I bit my lips as I groaned."Shh, don't say another word," Don grunted as he pulled hard on my hair."Just take this dick like a good little girl and let me fill you up with my seed."His words echoed in my mind, and I clenched tightly in response. Squeezing around his member, I felt his hands grip my hair harder. His palm found its way to my ass cheeks repeatedly, sending stinging waves of heat through me.My eyes filled with tears, but the pleasure far outweighed the pain. Slowly, my knees buckled, and then everything went dark.I woke up feeling so sore. A soft moan escaped my lips as I twirled in bed, the muscles in my body protesting with a dull ache, threatening to overwhelm me.My ne
Claire's POV"I'm so excited for the baby shower," Elyse said, looking up at me with a smile. "We need to start planning the details. What's your theme? Have you thought about games and food?"Elyse and I were resting on the couch in the penthouse, enjoying a lazy afternoon together. We'd just finished lunch, and Elyse couldn't get over her excitement about the baby shower I was planning.I laughed. "Slow down, Elyse. I've barely had time to think about it. But I do know I want something simple and intimate. Maybe just close friends and family."I was almost due…oh, I could feel this baby coming and I was excited at the thought of going into labor and birthing Don's son.Elyse nodded. "That sounds perfect. And I've already started thinking about baby names. I have a few favorites for a boy."I raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What are they?"Elyse grinned "Well, I think 'Atticus' is a great name. Or maybe 'Ethan'?"I chuckled. "Those are both nice names. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. W
Claire's POV The ringing doorbell interrupted my movie, causing me to wonder how it was, but I felt too lazy to stand up. Maybe it was my pregnancy after all. The doorbell rang again almost immediately but I didn't see any sign of anyone else coming to answer it. I took that as my cue to answer it. But just as I was about to stand up, Elyse appeared in the living room. “I'll answer it, don't worry” Elyse said I turned to the door when Elyse opened it, and I was greeted by the sight of Romano standing there, with a warm smile on his face. He looked just as handsome as I remembered, with his tousled hair and charming eyes. “Heyyyy” he drawled, stepping forward to wrap her in a hug. I could see the delight on her face as she embraced him. It was a sweet moment, one that made my heart swell and miss Don . I suddenly wished he were here. Damn you, Salvatore! I cursed inwardly. “Heyyy” She replied back “It's so good to see you” Elyse said, pulling back from the hug but keeping her han
Romano’s POV I walked into the room of one of my underground houses set aside as a ward for Don’s healing and recovery. It all came as a flashback, rushing into my memories. How I had been tracking Don for hours, following the clues. I knew Salvatore's men were closing in on him, and I had to act fast if I was going to save his life.From a distance, I had seen Don sprinting towards the river, Salvatore's men drew their guns, aiming at Don who had just jumped into the river. I had to act fast, but I didn't have a choice till they weren't watching and I had stopped shooting. A few minutes after they had gone, I sprinted towards the water's edge, scanning the river for any sign of Don. That's when I saw him, his body in the water as he tried to swim away from the riverbank.But he was hurt, badly. I could see the blood spreading through the water, and I knew I had to get to him, fast. I dove into the river and I swam towards Don. As I reached him, I wrapped my arm around his chest, h
Elyse's POV Just as I settled into the couch for a movie on Netflix with a tube of Pringles and a glass of lemon squash, my phone beeped and a notification came in. It was a message from Romano. My heart skipped three beats. I abandoned my movie for his text. ‘I can't wait to see you in the dress. Sign and collect ASAP. And no, I'm not spilling the location’ Wait, what? This could only mean one thing. Romano was taking me out. He was asking me out on a date. A proper, restaurant date. We hadn't done this before, although we had a lot of chemistry. I liked Romano a lot and he liked me right back, so there was no way I was going to say no or stand him up. The doorbell rang immediately and I answered it. A face–capped man with a package, clipboard and pen stood, waiting for me. I wrote my signature hastily, got the package and dashed back inside.I didn't even bother exiting Netflix, I just grabbed my phone and sprinted up the stairs. I got into the shower right as I got into my roo
Claire's POV Today was the day of baby Nolan's baptism, and I couldn't wait to celebrate this special moment with our little family.I noticed the bodyguards stationed outside our door. A reminder that I still needed to be protected from that monster, Salvatore.The chapel was beautiful, it had been a long time. It had never felt that far. It was so good to be home. Madam Desideria, Elyse, and I took our seats, surrounded by our securities The ceremony was lovely, with baby Nolan looking adorable in his tiny white outfit.As the priest poured the holy water over Nolan's head, I felt a lump form in my throat. And although Don might not admit or it might not seem like it, this baby had brought so much joy into our lives, and I was grateful to be a part of his journey.As we stepped forward, Madam Desideria, Elyse, and I walked over to the front steps of the cathedral, where we knelt on the stone floor."Let us pray," Madam Desideria said, in her soothing voice.We bowed our heads, and
Claire's POV I watched as Elyse and Romano said their goodbyes. He gave her a long peck on her right cheek as they hugged. “Alright guys, let's get going now” I signalled to them. The sun was getting brighter and I wanted us to get to the penthouse before late afternoon. I looked at the wall on the clock. The time read 09:10 am. “Take care, Elyse, I'll miss you” Romano smiled at her “I'll miss you too” She smiled back Our bags were hauled by some bodyguards to the trunks of the two vehicles taking us. When they were done, we said our final goodbyes to Romano, waving and smiling. We boarded the vehicles and soon, we were speeding down the road. It was going to be a long ride so I decided to keep myself busy. I plugged in my earphones and selected a movie –Disney’s Mufasa– to watch. Baby Nolan on the other hand was enjoying Cocomelon which was playing on the mini television in the car. I wasn't sure exactly how long we took but we were at the underground penthouse already. We ali
Claire's POV "Let's take a moment to remember…" I held back more tears, even when my face was red and swollen. "…a mentor, a brave man, a brother, ...a husband" I couldn't control it anymore.Romano came to my side, rubbing me by the side as he comforted me. Elyse sat at a side, her expression numb, she said no word nor did I hear a sob, but her face watered.I wanted to tell her again that I was sorry. That this was entirely my fault. How would I be able to live through this guilt? Staying in the same house knowing that I pulled the trigger and even made no effort to find his body for a proper burial."Don was everything…to me, ..to us" I continue, in between my sobs. "I love you, Don." I kissed the flowers, as I placed them on the little pavement around our former house, where Don and I spent most of our memories.Since there was no corpse to mourn, I thought it was only proper to pay tribute to his property. This wasn't a mode to move on. Never, could I move on from this. But ra
Claire's POV Tears streamed down our cheeks as I returned to hug my late husband’s sister. If only she knew how her brother died. I sighed. We remained in the embrace for God knows how long. After a while, Elyse slowly pulled away, first wiping her tears before she wiped mine. “That's okay, Claire, that's okay. Enough with the tears” She wiped under my eyes “What matters right now is that you're back, hale and hearty” “I know, right “ I replied, my eyes still teary “I'm so glad to be home, Elyse. You don't know how much I've missed you guys” I broke down into fresh tears. My outburst lasted for quite a while and Elyse did nothing but be patient with me, while rubbing my back and saying soothing words to me. I calmed down after a while, only shaking with silent sobs. “Come right in. Sorry we left you at the door” Elyse ushered me into the house “It's fine. You all were surprised to see me” I replied as I sat on a couch. I looked around the house, taking in everything. I had miss
Claire's Pov"Hey, Bambina" the soft voice of Don, like a wind had brought it and taken it away too. "Bambina, you look so good…spreading out your fucking legs like that" The voice suddenly changed into Salvatore's voice and I sprang up from the bed, waking up from a terrible nightmare.The switch from my sweet Don to Salvatore the monster had startled me. It was like Salvatore kept interrupting every moment I wanted to have with Don, even in my dreams.I rolled on the bed, cuddling the pillow to my chest as I resumed crying. I had cried all through the night and had begun again this morning. The feeling of being in New York is all of Don's memories and I thought I was ready, but I was not.I went on my knees beside the bed, in prayer mode. "I am sorry Don, please forgive me." I sobbed. "You were my literal existence and I took that life from you. I hate myself right now. I am so sorry, Don" I cried."I love you, my husband. I do"After more confessions, like Don's spirit was beside m
