"He was my school bully."She said carefully not to trigger his beast. It wasn't a proper lie, but it wasn't the whole truth either."Bully or not, I don't want you near him again, understand?"He demanded with his dark gaze, making her shiver as she instantly nodded her head."Words, doll!"He asid, laziliy. A buzzer installed in the car indicated that they had arrived home. A new mansion gifted by his father. He signaled her to get up, and she quickly complied. Getting outside the car with his help, her jaw dropped open, witnessing the view in front of her.The mansion stood like a sleek predator in the shadows, its lines sharp and unforgiving, as though designed by an architect who had never heard of softness. Black glass and smooth, polished concrete made up its angular facade, reflecting the moonlight in fractured gleams. It was modern, but its luxury was dark—brutal in its precision, yet undeniably elegant in its restraint. Every detail had been chosen not to impress, but to com
Author's Pov' The whole place was turning into a pool of blood since everyone was getting killed in a mafia war. Suddenly, a big blast of sound echoed over the whole place, making everyone flinch and stiffen in their place. "fuck someone is trying to mess up with the bomb on the rooftop." A devilishly handsome man with deep blue eyes like the ocean. A muscularly built body of 6'5 in height said while shooting his last enemy, who was now lying on his back with a loud thud.The man was about to leave the bloody place to clear his leftover enemies who were on the rooftop, but someone stopped him. "Vincenzo, I'll check the rooftop.We need you here since more rivals will be here at any moment." Jackson said with his one hand holding a gun while the other had a dagger.He was one of Vincent's close friends.Jackson and Vincenzo had started their training at a young age, as they were both mafia heirs. Well, not both, but yes, Vincenzo is a mafia heir and Jackson's father was Vincenzo's fat
Author's Pov' Jackson and Lorenzo entered the ward and noticed the intense gaze in Vincenzo's eyes, who was lying on the bed while staring at the wall infront of him with his dark gaze which was screaming danger. "I'm glad that you're fine Vinc--" Vincenzo closed his eyes in anger and turned his head towards them. "I wasn't supposed to end up here man!" His whole body was boiling with anger. "Vincenzo, calm the fuck down!I know our plan was about to succeed but someone betrayed us at the very last moment by leaking the news to our rival." Jackson tried to calm Vincenzo, who was ready to lose his goddamned temper. "And who that fucking bastard is?" Lorenzo lifted his face to look at Vincenzo. "It's that old greedy brat James Martin and his son Thomas Martin." Lorenzo stated, Vincenzo was shocked to hear those names as they had been in his team for years and now it was time for them to pay for their betrayal, as Vincenzo hated betrayals.He was thinking about ways to hunt his
Author's Pov' Not only was her beauty attracting him, but the main reason was he was feeling a pool of attraction towards her because of her innocence, which was crystal clear in her dark blue orbs. "M-Mr Vincenzo, you can't hold my hand like this.I'm a doctor here and also there's a CCTV came--" Before she could complete her sentence, he cut her off by saying. "I don't care!" He pulled her towards him, making her bump on his chest.A cold shiver ran through her spin when she saw his beautiful amber orbs from much closer now.He slowly leaned towards her lips, wanting to devour them, but she quickly shook her head to the other side and pushed him harshly. "Excuse me Mr, this is a hospital and I'm a doctor here, not a slave or something, so behave yourself." Elena ordered him, telling the Mafia how to behave. Not only the Mafia, but a soon-to-be Mafia King is something else.No one had the guts to say this until now.Which was attracting him more towards Elena.She turned towards the
Elena sighed and stared out of the window as she was locked in a room which looked expensive.She never thought that after getting kidnapped she would be in a luxurious room like this, but she cared less about it.She just wanted to meet their cabo and her kidnapper.She was getting angry at the thought of it.She clenched, her fist ready to punch her kidnaper who wasn't even present there.Its been one hour and still her kidnaper didn't let her known about his existence.Lorenzo blind folded her on the way and then locked her in a room.Since then she was sitting there being frustrated and angry.As god just listened to her prayer and the door opened catching her attention at whoever it was.Elena frowned a little when she witnessed her kidnapper.Who was none other than Vincenzo Romano himself.He smirked at her and walk to where she was standing now while she was throwing daggers at him with her ocean blue eyes which was amusing him. "I didn't expect you to be here, Miss Elena." He said, b
Elena's POV'All my life I ran behind love. That was the reason why I ended up being a heart surgeon. I even got my first love, but the images are too blurry and livid to remember. I often get flashbacks, but the pictures are still too blurry to figure out due to my Amnesia. Yes! I have that mental illness and curse it on my faith. Why out of all people does it have to be me with that illness? I shouldn't say something like that considering I'm a doctor myself, but I can't help it because, in the end, I'm a human too. I'm human with frustration and anger. I even had some emotional mental breakdown because of it. Considering, I put my past life in blurry pictures instead of remembering all the events. Some beautiful events of which I still get flashbacks about.How has my life turned into swift seconds of moments? How did I get myself into this? Just how? How does saving a life got me into something like this? There are so many questions but no answers! What does this man want from me?
Author's POV'"Aarghhh"A painful scream left the man's mouth when Lorenzo hit his stomach with a steel-poll. He clutched his stomach due to the immense pain. Watching the reaction, a satisfactory smirk appeared on Lorenzo's lips when Thomas started coughing blood. Lifting the steel poll Lorenzo was about to hit him again but stopped hearing the voice behind him."Seems like you are enjoying this a beat too much."Vincenzo said with an arrogant smirk on his face as he enjoyed the view in front of him.Lorenzo chuckled before turning his head towards Vincenzo."I was having a little fun, but since you are here I'll leave this upto you."Lorenzo threw the steel-poll towards Vincenzo, and he caught the heavy object like a ball."By the way, I'm going on a mission to California since my father has asked for it."Vincenzo nodded in anticipation."On your way out, give a visit to my little birdy and ask her to come into the basement."Lorenzo gave a nod of acknowledgment."Anything for you!
Elena's POV'"And now you all are going to pay with your lives."I gulped in fear, hearing the danger lying beneath his threat. Why is he involving me in it? I never did anything wrong to him, so I don't deserve this kind of treatment from him, especially after saving his life."But you saved my life, Amore, so you don't deserve this."Did he hear my thoughts? I shivered internally when he leaned closer and spoke in his dangerously deep voice."And I was thinking about doing something else with you."My eyes widened at his statement. What does he mean by that? I could feel him smirking when he felt the goosebumps on my skin. I was about to question him, but suddenly the door went open, making me freeze in the place after witnessing the person in front of me while he released his hold on me by letting me go completely while his other men caught me."C-Capo, please forgive me."My eyes went cold watching the person in front of me. What is he doing here? Isn't he supposed to be with my m

"It is for the best."As she was about to convince him, but his phone rang, catching his attention. He left the place to take the call and return again."It's Vincenzo! The party is over, and he is on his way. Let's get you inside the car.!"He declared making the color on her face drain.My body started trembling just by hearing his name alone. What will he do to her when they get home? She couldn't stop thinking about it. Elena’s heart raced, each beat louder than the last, as she sat motionless.Her fingers clenched the fabric of her dress so tightly that her knuckles ached, and yet, she couldn’t release the grip. She was frozen, not by the cold air creeping through the cracked window, but by the terror that wrapped itself around her chest like a vice. His sudden calm demeanor to cover up his anger was too scary, something she recognized too well."Lorenzo!"She whispered, her voice barely audible."I—"She couldn’t finish. There were no words that could bridge the chasm of her fea
"Levi!"A voice interrupted their eyes war before something could seriously happen between them. Lorenzo stopped speaking when he sensed the tension looming between them. He turned his head towards Elena, who gave him a helpless stare. For some reason she felt like he was the one whom she could actually talk to without constant fear.Lorenzo somehow made her feel comfortable around him. He was like a friend to her, that's what she thought. Her eyes seek help from him because she thinks he's the only one who could help her out of this situation, maybe not from Vincenzo later but at least for now."Woah!"He exclaimed, with his playful nature."I was looking for both of you but didn't expect this reunion all together."He noticed Vincenzo's tight grip on Elena and sighed."Guys! What's with this serious tension looming in the air, huh?"Vincenzo checked his watch instead of answering."Don't forget that now you guys are business partners, so keep your personal beef aside and get inside
Author's POV'He was the one who crushed everything. Then how could he say something like that? Elena stared at him blankly as her anger had reached its own peak. She was so lost remembering the painful memory he gave her that she didn't realize he was standing too close to her, his warm breath was fanning her sensitive skin.It took her a second to push him away from her."Go away from me!"He stared at her with guilt in his eyes before coming close to her again."I know I have done a lot of bad things towards you and was cruel back then, but I really love you, Elena I--""But I don't love you anymore, and I never did."She snapped at him.His eyes filled with painful glimpses before he masked them. She knew he had been taken aback by her words, but that was the least of her worries right now, because anyone could walk on us any time and that wouldn't end well for her."Don't lie to me, Elee."He suddenly pulled her by her wrist, making her clutch his shoulders for balance. She wasn'
My eyes snapped open, and I gasped slightly, feeling someone hugging me from behind. The glass in my hand shattered somewhere near my feet, making me flinch and turn around in his arms. Turning around to face the person whom I loath with all my guts, yet I was in his arms.My heart skipped a beat when I saw his face after so long, and instinctively, my breathing hitched in my throat."Levi?"I whispered the name, as if saying it aloud would shatter the fragile moment. My ex, the man I thought I had loved before all this mess—before the mafia, before Vincenzo—was standing in front of me, as if he had never left. The tears welled up in my eyes."Elena..."His voice was low, husky, and far too familiar.His eyes held so many memories of our past which had only given me pain, my pulse racing faster than before at our closeness which was forbidden now. There he was standing right before me. A face that I had never thought I would see again. A man I thought was long gone from my life.His d
I looked at the person with my wide eyes who was none other than Lorenzo Salvatore! I frowned while Luna gulped, noticing his deadly serious gaze on her."What the hell do you think you are doing?"Luna flinched at his sudden outburst while I was still confused. Anger was visible in his eyes and his jaw was clenched."Lorenzo!"She whined, trying to act cute. I rolled my eyes at her stupid acts. This girl seriously needs help and I really think that lunatic name suits her more than her real name."Shut the fuck up!"I gulped at Lorenzo's other outburst."Do you realize what kind of stupid stunt you just pulled right now?"Lorenzo rubbed his temple to control his anger and I just stared at him."She is Vincenzo Romano's wife! The mafia lord or did you forget?"His voice filled with warning while she bit her lower lip nervously. I just watch the drama."I'm sor---""Not to me! Apologize to her and leave quickly before something awful happens to you."I gulped at his threatening voice. W
'I'm giving you a little freedom until I return, so don't even think about running because I always have my eyes on you, doll.'That's how he threatened me before leaving with one of his business partners to discuss something important, not before placing a soft kiss on my ear. I sighed and stared at the service man who was left to escort me with anything, but I knew that he was to watch over me.Not that I would try to not after last night. He and his sick games. I knew by now that he loves playing those sick games of his just to see how far I would go and test my tendencies. In a mafia party with dozens of guards surrounding the place, do I really have a chance to escape? No, and I'm not dumb to think that I stand any chance."I'm bored."I spoke my mind to that man."Don't worry, Mrs. Romano, we have a library. Would you like to have a look?"My eyes sparkled up with excitement just by hearing the word Library. I love reading fictional books and that is the reason why I am a hopele
I stood there like a doll he named me. Nodding my head, giving fake smiles, shaking hands with females, as I'm not allowed to shake hands with men, and they didn't even try to shake hands because Vincenzo's one deadly glare was a clear warning for them to dare shake hands with me. Men! And their over posessiveness.I got tired of these fake acts, but Vincenzo's grip on my waist made it clear that I had no choice but to continue these fake acts. As we were done talking with his business partners, I would say he was done. That's when a beautiful woman came towards us. She seemed to be the same age as mine.She had dyed her hair green, maybe to match the color of her eyes, which were as green as the forest itself. She stood straight in front of Vincenzo and didn't seem to notice me, and it seemed intentional."Oh my god! Vincenzo! You are finally here!"She hugged him, catching him off guard, and I stared between him and her. My eyes were flattering a bit, so I decided to move my eyes so
The maids helped me with the bath and right now was evening, which says I needed to get ready again for that so-called reception party that I didn't want to attend, but liked my body and my decisions were too not in my favor.I tried telling Vincenzo that I was not feeling well enough to attend tonight's party, but in return, it only triggered his inner beast, and he just threatened me into getting ready in one of his twisted ways which I don't want to talk about. So I just stood there and stared at the black bodycon dress with a deep neck which was sparkly and seductive. The kind of dress which I don't prefer wearing.And a pair of Saint Laurent's sparkly heels for which any woman would kill for, except me. I didn't want these expensive things. All I want is love. I sighed tiredly. I was actually tired of everything. Vincenzo wasn't in the room, which was a good thing for me because whenever he's near me, he just doesn't seem to keep his hands to himself.I miss Kai and Maa very much
