Selena’s pov I sat at the ornate vanity in my bedroom, gazing into the mirror as I absentmindedly brushed my long, dark hair. My mind was clouded with thoughts, doubts, and an unsettling realization that had been creeping up on me for quite some time. I couldn't deny it any longer—I was being weak, allowing Angel to talk to me rudely and stop me from going out, and my own silence was complicit in his actions.Angel, was not only a powerful figure in the mafia but also a man who knew how to manipulate and control. Over the month, I had become accustomed to his brash behavior, his sharp tongue, and his complete disregard for my feelings. But now, as I stared at my reflection, something in me had changed. I am the daughter of a mafia! A surge of determination coursed through my veins. I had grown up surrounded by the mafia, watching my father command respect and instill fear in others. I had learned the ins and outs of this world, yet I had allowed myself to be reduced to nothing more

Selena’s pov As I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the straps of my crimson dress, excitement pulsed through my veins. Tonight was a special night – an opportunity to escape the suffocating grip of my life and embrace the freedom that had eluded me for so long. I was going out with Bianca and Saint, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of exhilaration. I was tired of being controlled by Angel. I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already past seven, and I knew Bianca and Saint would be waiting for me downstairs. But there was one person I deliberately chose not to inform about our plans – my so called husband, I felt no obligation to seek his permission for a simple night out. This was my chance to assert my independence and reclaim a piece of myself. Heaven was asleep so I wasn’t very worried going out and I was sure her new nanny was taking care of her and watching her right now. With a final check in the mirror, I ensured every strand of my hair was perfectly in pla

SELENAAs I watched Heaven twirling around in her frilly pink dress, a thought crossed my mind. Why not take her out on a special date, just the two of us? Ever since her father and I got married, I had been trying my best to build a strong bond with her. This would be the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time together and create memories that would last a lifetime."Heaven, sweetheart, would you like to go on a special date with me today?" I asked, crouching down to her level. Her eyes widened with excitement as she nodded vigorously."Really, Mummy? Just you and me?" Heaven's little voice was filled with delight, and I couldn't help but smile."Yes, my darling. Just you and me," I replied, ruffling her golden curls affectionately. "Now, let's get ready for our special day out, shall we?"Heaven squealed with joy, clapping her hands as we both rushed to get ready. I helped her put on her favorite white sneakers, and she insisted on carrying her favorite stuffed bunny, Mr. Cu

ANGELAs I walked through the front door, my heart skipped a beat when I saw Selena standing by the living room window, holding the hand of Heaven. Instantly, a wave of anger washed over me. How could she do this? How could she take my precious daughter to see a man, her so-called friend? My blood boiled at the thought. I had instructed my guards to follow her and they found her going to a man’s house after going to the playground with Heaven. I took a deep breath, attempting to compose myself before approaching Selena. The tension in the room was palpable, the atmosphere thick with unspoken words. With every step closer, my anger intensified, but I knew I had to confront her calmly, rationally. Heaven's well-being was at stake, and I couldn't let my emotions cloud my judgment."S-Selena," I managed to say, my voice trembling slightly. "Can we talk? Alone?"Selena turned towards me, her face etched with surprise and a hint of apprehension. She must have sensed the turmoil within me, b

Selena I sighed quietly as my alarm clock's ringing jarred me out of sleep and forcibly yanked me from my dreams. Looking at the time after rubbing my eyes, I saw that it was already time to wake up Heaven and begin our day together. I forced myself to get up from the bed with a groan, feeling the usual heaviness of tiredness pressing down on me.A feeling of warmth swept over me as I walked to Heaven's room. Heaven's presence never failed to make my day better despite the difficulties we endured as a blended family. She was my tiny ray of sunshine, the only person who made me happy despite the ominous circumstances we were in.Heaven was still wrapped up in her covers when I softly opened the door to her room. Her cherubic face was peacefully sleeping. I walked over to her bedside smiling and softly said, "Good morning, baby. It's time to get up and prepare for the day.Heaven's eyes fluttered open as she shifted. She gave me a sleepy smile after yawning and stretching her small arm

Angel The sun was lowering beyond the horizon as I went closer to the warehouse, bathing the city in a cozy orange glow. It had been a difficult day due to the usual insanity of managing my empire. But tonight, I noticed a difference. A huge weight dropped onto my chest, and I sensed imminent catastrophe.A call alerting me to an attack on one of my warehouses had just come in. Fear and mistrust raced through my head as I rushed through the barely lit streets. My heart was pounding in my chest and my spine was chilled by the silence of the night. I understood that I couldn't handle this on my own and that I needed assistance. Martin was only person who came to mind. He had recently returned from a vacation in Paris, and I hoped he could provide some insight into the situation.Martin was standing close to the door, and a nearby street lamp was illuminating his form. He appeared worn out and as though the entire world was pressing down on him. I cautiously walked up to him and said, "M

Selena My pulse was racing with a mix of dread and grit as I clutched Saint's phone in my shaking hands. This phone call might be my last chance to find Heaven. Since she was abducted, the previous several days have been a living nightmare. Even though Angel made every effort to locate her, he was unsuccessful, and I was aware that my father had the best trackers in Russia. As the phone continued to ring, my anxiousness increased. Finally, my father's recognizable voice picked up the phone. "Hello?" he greeted, his tone tinged with worry."Dad!" My voice choked up as I exclaimed. "Hello, I'm Selena. I... I need your assistance."Selena? What's wrong, my love? What happened to you at Roswell that you sound so upset about? My father answered, his voice expressing worry.Heaven, Dad... Heaven has disappeared. Kidnapped. I'm at a loss for what to do and am unable to wait around. I begged, my voice filled with desperation, "Please find her for me.For a brief period, there was silence, a

Selena Desperation and fear tore at my heart as Angel and I cautiously made our way through the deserted warehouse district. Heaven, we were still looking. We had taken matters into our own hands after waiting too long for the authorities to take action. We did this by pursuing a trail of cryptic hints that eventually brought us to this secret factory. Since my father's tracker has never failed, I am confident that I will soon locate my daughter. The only sounds that shattered the silence that night were our soft footsteps and a distant machine's hum. Long shadows were formed over the floor by moonlight that filtered through the roof's fissures. My nerves were tingling with anticipation and dread as my senses were on high alert.We reached the entrance of the factory, and I shared a glance with Angel. His face mirrored the same mixture of determination and anxiety that I felt. We knew we were stepping into danger, but we were willing to face any obstacle to find our daughter.We pus

Our nightly ritual of winding down often turned into moments of reflection and shared thoughts."Selena," Angel began, a soft smile playing on his lips, "can we talk for a bit? About Heaven."I nodded, sensing the depth of his emotions. "Of course, Angel. What's on your mind?"He took a deep breath, his eyes reflecting a mix of gratitude and emotion. "I just wanted to thank you, Selena. For everything you've done for Heaven. She's so happy, and it's all because of you."I reached for his hand, a reassuring gesture. "Angel, she's our daughter. I love her as much as you do."He chuckled, a hint of tears glistening in his eyes. "I know, but you've been more than a stepmother. You've been a guiding force, a source of love and stability in her life. I can't express how grateful I am."I pulled him into a gentle embrace. "It's been a joy raising Heaven with you. She's a

Chase's POV:I woke up to find Heaven in the kitchen, her expression a mix of exhaustion and something else. Something I couldn't quite put my finger on."Rough night?" I asked, trying to sound casual.She shrugged. "Just the usual chaos. Nothing I can't handle."I leaned against the kitchen counter. "You know, Heaven, you don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Sometimes it's okay to let someone else share the burden."She shot me a skeptical look. "And who would that someone be? You?"I smirked. "Hey, I'm not as bad as you make me out to be. Besides, you might be surprised at how good I am at lightening the mood."She raised an eyebrow. "Lightening the mood, or causing more chaos?"I chuckled. "A bit of both, perhaps. But seriously, Heaven, you don't have to be so guarded all the time. We're in this together, right?"She sighed. "In this together, until the next betrayal or twist of fate. That's how it goes, Chase."I decided to change the subject, opting for
