Author's POV'

The sky wore a shroud of brooding charcoal, clouds sprawling across the heavens like ink spilled on parchment. The air was thick, heavy with the scent of rain yet to fall, and the faint whispers of a restless wind curled through the barren trees.

Shadows danced and deepened, casting the world in hues of muted gray and silver, as if mother-nature herself was holding her breath.

A quiet melancholy hung in the atmosphere, not ominous, but serene, a tender reminder of the beauty found in the quiet embrace of darkness like the devil sitting inside his penthouse's office.

The outside's dark beauty was perfectly matched with the devil himself.

"Did you get to know who helped her out of the house?"

Litting up his cigarette, he looked out of the huge glass window while his one hand remained in his sweatpant's pocket as his back was facing Lorenzo.

"About that, yes."

He responded while spinning the ball in his hand.

"And who's that?"

Vincenzo asked while taking a long drag of his

    Elena's POV'I made my way downstairs towards the living room. The feeling I was feeling right now was beyond anything. I'm so happy that I got his approval, so I can finally meet him.I never thought that it was going to be so easy. If he were just like this and gave in to my every demand, then life would be so easy, but whom was I fooling? Only myself."Just because the great mafia agreed on meeting you don't get your hopes high, Elena."I shook my head before taking the last stairs and was about to make my way towards the exit but got stopped by no one but James."Don't you have manners to tell me about where the hell you are going? Or you don't think it's necessary?"I turned around being annoyed. Why is he doing all this drama when he never really cared? And he knew exactly where I was going, so why the hell was he asking?"I'll go with the second one."I replied while crossing my hands across my chest. I knew he must be boiling in anger because it was crystal clear from his faci

It won't take long, I promise."The driver's eyes looked hesitant before he picked up his phone to call his capo, making her annoyed."Capo, Mrs. Romano is asking to meet her mother, who's in a nearby hospital."Elena frowned when the driver addressed her by her soon-to-be husband's surname.Placing the phone aside after ha

  • Taming Mr.Mafia King   Checkmate!

    When I entered the huge glassed building, a man whom I consider to be one of Vincenzo's men escorted me towards his penthouse. My jaw dropped when I saw the interior inside. It was a huge penthouse. Maybe a whole floor was gathered into making it and, as usual, the interior had a dark aesthetic with a classy look.Clutching my bag, I made my way towards his study room, following the man who was escorting me."Here!"Opening the door after knocking on it, he indicated me to go inside. With a racing heart, I went inside and heard the closing of the door shut behind me. Can't he just keep it open for my sake?I gulped, looking at the scenario in front of me. Vincenzo, who was shirtless, was busy playing chess with Lorenzo. Focused on their game. I swallowed hard. What am I supposed to do now? Just stand there and watch them play until the game was over?"Welcome sister-in-law!"I flinched out of my thoughts when Lorenzo greeted me out of nowhere.He played his side of chess while my gaze

    "There's nothing serious."I groaned when I heard someone speaking and grabbed my head unconsciously. I felt the soft mattress underneath me and those soft cushions. Where am I?I slowly opened my eyes to clear the vision and my head hurt like hell. Literally like hell. Setting up my vision clearly, I looked around my surroundings just to find the devil standing beside the bed, tall and dangerous.That's when I recalled how suddenly I fainted on his chest and the next thing I felt was him picking me up in his strong arms.Did I anger him by spoiling his mood because of the way he was staring at me with a scowling face before returning his gaze towards the doctor who was still busy inspecting me!"Give me the genuine reason behind her passing out."Vincenzo demanded in his scary voice."Lack of eating and skipping meals. How many days has it been since you haven't eaten anything?"I tried to avoid Vincenzo's gaze before responding.I knew I had to be genuine."Three days to be more spe

  • Taming Mr.Mafia King   Glided cage!

    Author's POV''One week later!'The day had betrayed her before it had even begun. Elena woke up to the shrill, mocking tone of her alarm, but it wasn’t just the clock that was relentless; life itself seemed to conspire against her. The sun, hidden behind a thick veil of clouds, cast a dim and suffocating light through her window—neither warm nor welcoming, just a muted gray that matched the heaviness in her chest.There was no ray of hope, no grand epiphany. Just a heavy sigh and the faint, distant echo of a woman who had given her all, only to be left with nothing to show for it but the ache of a day gone wrong.The room was a gilded cage, shimmering with luxury yet suffocating in its purpose. The bride’s chamber was an orchestra of chaos—styling tools hummed, brushes swept across delicate skin, and a dozen pairs of hands fussed over her as though she were a doll rather than a woman with a mind of her own. But Elena, the reluctant bride, sat motionless at the center of it all, her e

There’s no need to babysit me.”Lorenzo tilted his head, studying me with a cool, unreadable expression.“You say that, but your eyes tell a different story, doc.”I froze, my mask of composure slipping for a moment. Did he see through me so easily?"That's not the case right now. I'm here to take you to the Aisle."I looked away, controlling my tears, which were threatening to fall."I don't want to go."His eyes studied me once again with his unyielding gaze before saying the next unexpected words."I know that you are forced into this marriage, and maybe you consider it as your nightmare, but you should know that every nightmare has its own ending."I stared at him blankly, not believing a word he said to me just now. How could he say something like that and keep those hard expressions on his face?He was soft somewhere

Until then, behave well because I don't want to harm your sick mother who's going to get a discharge soon."I looked at him utterly shocked and scared, but I was more scared than shocked because I know this man has more psychotic tendencies, and he could actually hurt my mother without a second thought. I still remember how he killed the man inside the bus who helped me to escape that day.My mother was my weakness and hearing about her made me more scared than before. I wish I could do something about it. I wish I was powerful like him, but I'm not weak either. I'm powerful in my own way, but my power becomes powerless when he's standing against me just like a queen without a king.If I was shocked before, then I'm blank and speechless right now."You are a heartless monster."I didn't know what else to say to my groom, who h

    My captor—no, my husband now—barely reacted. His lips curved into a smirk, as if he'd expected this, making me stunned at his reaction. I tried to pull away, but he only tightened his grip on my waist more and continued to kiss me mercilessly despite the chaos in the background.“Stay still,”He murmured, his tone dangerously calm, before his mouth closed over mine.My body stiffened, my heart pounding against my ribs as his lips pressed against mine. The kiss wasn’t passionate or tender—it was a performance, a declaration of ownership in front of an audience. And it chilled me to the bone. This says he doesn't have a gentle bone in his body.When he finally pulled away and turned toward the chaos erupting behind them, his sharp commands cut through the noise. His men moved like shadows, efficient and deadly, and within seconds, gunfire erupted in return.“Wait here,”He said, his voice low and commanding as he unbuttoned his jacket and handed it to me.

  • Taming Mr.Mafia King   Fear!

    Elena's POV'I walked into an empty corridor after having enough of dinner with those psychotic mafias. I sighed in relief, away from the chaos. I literally facepalmed myself after leaving from there.The corridor stretched ahead, its narrow passage swallowing the faint light from the flickering overhead bulb. The walls, once white, were now a sickly shade of gray, marred by the creeping stains of age and neglect.Each step I took seemed to echo unnervingly, amplifying the silence that clung to the air like a thick fog. My breath quickened as my heels clicked against the cold, cracked tiles—currently my only companion in this hollow, forgotten space.My heart began to pound in my chest, a frantic beat that threatened to drown out the silence, but the space was too oppressive. It clung to me, suffocating, as though the walls themselves were watching, listening, waiting.At the far end of the hallway, a door stood ajar, the dark void beyond it a black eye in the heart of the building.

    "I do."Luna declared and the moment she declared, a loud sound of glass shattering into pieces could be heard in the entire room, catching everyone's attention.Everyone gasped at the source of the voice, including Luna, and that's when her eyes met Levi's bloodshot ones. She instantly looked away, witnessing the raging anger evident in his eyes.Lorenzo went up to Levi immediately and noticed the blood oozing out of Levi's hand."What the actual fuck, Levi?"Vincenzo drawled while Elena quickly covered her mouth up on noticing the blood out of his hand."His hand needs treatment."Elena was about to get up, but Vincenzo quickly grabbed her wrist, making her hiss."Sit the fuck down."He commanded through his gritted teeth."I'm sure he can deal with his own mess.""But--"Vincenzo's one deadly glare was enough to make her mouth shut. As a doctor, she couldn't witness someone bleeding in front of her, even if it was an enemy. Levi's father didn't even come forward, nor the king. It w

    "Watch your tongue, Stefano, or it will take me a second to rip it out of your mouth."Vincenzo snapped, which caused Stefano to swallow hard on his saliva because he knew that he could and nobody would question him. Elena glanced at Vincenzo and shivered visibly at how he reacted when someone called her an outsider." Stefano is right. Luca, you need a marriage alliance to gain our trust. Otherwise, it wasn't needed after witnessing your capabilities."Luca nodded his head but what he felt inside was another thing which only he knew.Stefano, on the other hand, smiled in utter victory before saying."The girl should be from our community, isn't it?"Devis nodded his head before saying."Seraphina is perfect for it. What do you sa----""No she's not."Lorenzo growled out of nowhere, catching everyone's attention, including Seraphina's who was sitting with her froster mother.Everyone was too stern to speak because no one in years had dared to interrupt the king except today.

    A huge royal dining room, sophisticated and opulent, unfolds like a scene from a regal dream.The space is vast—cathedral-like in scale—with a soaring, coffered ceiling adorned in gold leaf and hand-painted frescoes of mythological scenes. Massive crystal chandeliers, their facets shimmering like stars, hang in perfect symmetry down the length of the room, casting a soft, golden glow over everything.The dining table stretches endlessly, carved from rare dark mahogany and polished to a mirror sheen. It’s set with fine bone china rimmed in 24-karat gold, gleaming silverware, and crystal goblets that catch the light like diamonds. Velvet-upholstered chairs with gilded frames line the table, each one an ornate throne in its own right.Tall arched windows, draped in deep burgundy and gold brocade, let in daylight filtered through sheer silk curtains. Along the walls, marble columns rise between massive oil paintings of ancestors and historic moments, framed in intricate gold.A grand fire

    Author's POV'"If you want, I can take you away from this pain where you won't be sad anymore."A firm, yet familiar voice interrupted Elena from behind, making her turn around to look at the person. Her eyes widened slightly after watching him lean against the garden wall while staring at her with a hooded gaze."Levi..... What are you doing here?"Elena asked calmly, covering her shock."Just watching my loved ones in pain."He stated just like that while holding eye contact with her. Elena's eyes widened before looking away. She doesn't know if his words are as genuine as him. Damn, she suspects his every word. She's not the high school who would feel flattered by her crush saying stuff like this.If anything, then she respects her boundaries."That's not the answer to----""I know, but this is Stefano's birthday party, so isn't it obvious that I would be here?"Of course, he would be present as a member of the mafia. Elena thought. Levi's presence was as important as Vincenzo's in

    My eyes fell on the girl who looked innocent and young. She looks like she is in her late teens. She kept looking around and then at the cell phone in her hand. I could feel the eyes on me. Which were none other than his guards.Unconciously I approched her. She's beautiful and has a soft beauty which suits her perfectly. Her hair, long and soft as river silk, fell to the middle of her back in gentle waves, catching the light like dusk on water.It framed her face in the most effortless way, as if even the wind had learned to be gentle around her. Her features were delicate—cheekbones like petals, a nose barely a breath, and lips the shade of early blush roses. She looks perfect in all angles.There was something in her eyes, too—not just the color, which was some impossible hue between honey and storm—but the way they held stories, even when she wasn’t speaking. You’d look at her and feel that she had seen the world with a kind of softness that refused to harden, no matter what it ha

  • Taming Mr.Mafia King   Seeking Attention?

    Elena's POV'The gown I wore this evening did not shimmer, nor did it boast the ostentation of embroidery or gemstones. It needed no such embellishments. It was elegance distilled—a quiet kind of power. The fabric, a deep, velvety midnight blue, clung to my form with the grace of twilight, wrapping around me, smooth and assured.The neckline swept just below my collarbone, revealing the delicate strength of my shoulders, while the sleeves, long and tapered, ended in a gentle point at the wrists—as though time itself had traced my outline with reverence. The bodice was cut to accentuate without demanding attention, sculpted in a way that whispered confidence rather than cried for it.The skirt flowed—neither too voluminous nor too tight—falling in fluid lines to the floor, where it gathered slightly like a sigh at my heels. With every step, the fabric moved with me, as if it too was under my spell. No ornamentation distracted from the pure, solid hue of the gown. Its beauty was in its

    Author's POV'Before Elena could make a move by turning around, he grabbed her wrist, making her bump hard against his muscular chest, which was draped with a black leather jacket and black t-shirt beneath it, not to mention his black jeans. He was dressed casually today aside from his usual signatory formal attire."Still trying to run away from me, amore?"Her breath hitched at his deep voice and close proximity. Even if she had lived in Italy before. She still didn't understand it fully, but she was trying her best.She still didn't know what he called her in Italian, but she was sure to find it out. Her wrist was pinned behind her back by him and a shiver ran down her spine. It always does. Whenever she's with him. She can't help to shiver in his company."Even after what happened last night?"His intense voice snapped her out of the haze and a crimson red appeared on her already rosy cheeks. Since this morning, she had been trying her best not to recall their last night's encount
