The Mafia Don's Innocent Love XIII
ARTEMY "Boss, we found her in the basement," Leon panted over the phone. Hearing the news, a faint smirk tugged at the corner of my mouth. Now let's see if you can evade the truth, kitten. "I'm on my way," I snapped before hanging up. Slipping on my suit jacket and adjusting my tie, I reached into my drawer and retrieved my black leather gloves. I always wore them whenever we had to deal with a problem in the basement, just in case things got messy. With a resounding thud, I slammed the drawer shut and swiftly exited my office. Each step I took reignited the anger within me. It consumed me, and all I could see was a crimson haze surrounding my betrayer. The blood in my veins roared, pulsating through my temples. Gripping tightly onto the burning fury inside, I harnessed its power. My body tensed, muscles locking in place as I stormed down the dimly lit corridor. The frigid air crackled with my seething rage, and the only sound reverberating off the walls was the echo of my footst
The Mafia Don's Innocent Love XIV
REBECCA Time lost its meaning as I languished in that wretched place, trapped in a perpetual state of uncertainty. The boundaries between day and night blurred, leaving me disoriented and desperate for relief from the relentless agony. My head throbbed incessantly, my body succumbed to weakness. The restraints on my wrists sent waves of pain coursing through me, each touch of the rope against my tender skin evoking pitiful whimpers. My flesh bore the marks of my futile struggles, raw and oozing blood. Brayden, Avim, and Leon, in their relentless pursuit of information, took turns subjecting me to their interrogations. Frustration tainted their voices as they probed for answers, growing weary of my repeated denials. "I didn't do it," I insisted, my words tinged with defiance. How could they not understand? I despised monsters like Raffaele and my own father, Herman. Yet, I kept my loathing hidden, refusing to reveal the truth. My life was already hanging by a thread, and admitting
The Mafia Don's Innocent Love XV
REBECCA The tray of food beckoned me with its tantalizing aroma, causing my stomach to protest loudly. Yet, as I glanced back at the closed door, my heart raced in anticipation, fearing the return of Artemy, ready to drag me back into the dreaded basement. To my relief, he didn't burst through the door, and I found solace leaning against the headboard, my gaze falling upon my bandaged wrist. Artemy had taken the time to wrap it, and he had also brought me food, offering an apology for his actions. Conflicting emotions surged within me. Fear lingered, but his unexpected kindness touched me deeply. Was he truly sincere? A silent plea echoed in my mind, desperately hoping he meant it. Running my thumb over the bandage, I reminisced about the way he delicately kissed my wrists, as though afraid of causing me harm. It shattered my preconceptions of him as a callous individual. Remorse and guilt had flickered in his eyes, but doubts gnawed at me. Did his remorse stem from genuine regret
The Mafia Don's Innocent Love XVI
REBECCA "He did seem genuinely remorseful," I admitted. Chuckling softly, Lynda shook her head. "There you have it, then. You have your answer." My heart fluttered, and a faint smile tugged at the corners of my lips. With Lynda's reassurance, I felt a sense of lightness, and my shoulders relaxed in relief. "Thank you," I whispered, turning my hand over to grasp hers. "It's okay. By the way, Mom is extremely worried about you. Artemy informed her that you wouldn't be working today. That's why she sent me to check up on you," Lynda disclosed, explaining her presence. Pushing aside the comforter, I struggled to get out of bed and stood upright. "I want to see her," I declared, unable to bear the thought of Nona's distress. In a short span of time, she had become a maternal figure in my life, offering me comfort during my moments of vulnerability. Most importantly, no one had ever shown genuine concern for me before. Nona had come back, and all I yearned for was to embrace her. The
The Mafia Don's Innocent Love XVII
ARTEMY Brayden walked alongside me as we made our way towards my office, the sound of our footsteps echoing in the corridor. His voice broke the silence, filled with a hint of urgency. "Are we still on for the clubs' check-up tonight?" he inquired, glancing at me with a mixture of concern and determination. Responding with a grunt, I offered a nod, acknowledging our agreement without saying a word. We reached my office, where Milandro, Leon, and Avim awaited our arrival. As soon as they caught sight of us, they rose from their seats, a sign of respect. Meeting their gaze, I motioned for them to sit before taking my own place. Gathering everyone's attention, I announced the news we had received. "Raffaele has sent us another warning," I declared, the weight of the situation evident in my voice. "He's set his sights on another club, and he won't hesitate to kill anyone who stands in his way. He wants the whorehouse under his control. I want a minimum of twelve men there, guarding th
The Mafia Don's Innocent Love XVIII
REBECCA When I approached him to express my condolences, a surge of fear coursed through me. I worried that he would respond with anger, despite him acknowledging that it wasn't my fault. However, the weight of my father's actions lingered heavily on my conscience. He had taken the life of Artemy's mother, and if my father couldn't bring himself to apologize and make amends, then it fell upon me to carry that burden. Living under Artemy's roof, relying on his hospitality, I concealed the truth that I was his greatest enemy. While I myself may be innocent of any personal wrongdoing, my bloodline betrayed me. I yearned to disclose the truth to him, but I knew deep down that he wouldn't comprehend. In fact, nobody would understand, not even Nona or Lynda. They saw my family as adversaries, oblivious to the fact that I, too, had become a victim and suffered the consequences. The weight of my suffering grew unbearable, and I longed for happiness. But in order to protect myself, I couldn

REBECCA Lynda gasped in surprise, her eyes widening. "Oh my God, Becca. I completely lost track of time. I'm so sorry. You were supposed to rest." She hurriedly stood up and wiped the countertop clean, a touch of guilt evident on her face. I reassured her with a smile. "It's alright. I had a great time talking to you." She shook her head, a hint of playful exasperation in her eyes. "Still, you need to go rest now, or Mom will never let me hear the end of it." She rolled her eyes dramatically, emphasizing the point. "Well, you do have a point," I chuckled, pulling her into a quick hug. In response, she playfully nudged me towards the door. "Go on, go rest." Making my way to the bedroom, I closed the door softly behind me. Tiredness washed over me, and without bothering to change out of my dress, I eagerly climbed into bed, nestling myself under the cozy, warm comforter. The day's activities had taken their toll, and now that I was finally lying down, my body felt heavy and letharg
The Mafia Don's Innocent Love XX
REBECCA The warm morning sun gently illuminated my face, prompting me to squint and shield my eyes from its glaring rays. As I turned around, an uncomfortable ache spread across my back, causing my forehead to crease in confusion. Why did my once soft and cozy bed feel so unbearably hard? Slowly regaining consciousness, I blinked my eyes open and found myself face to face with the underside of the couch in my bedroom. I rubbed my eyes, attempting to shake off the remnants of sleepiness. A lazy yawn escaped my mouth, followed by a groan as I let my arms cross over my chest, resigning myself to the floor again. Turning my head to the side, I noticed Artemy's jacket lying beside me. A frown of bewilderment formed on my face as I cautiously reached out, running my fingers gently over the fabric. "Hmm," I mumbled, struggling to recollect the events of the previous night, a disorienting haze clouding my mind. Why am I clutching his suit jacket? As soon as the thought crossed my mind,

REBECCAI roused from slumber to find the expanse of the bed empty beside me, an unexpected void that jolted me into alertness. Swiftly, I elevated myself into a sitting position, my eyes grappling with the persistent morning radiance as I blinked away the remnants of sleep.Emerging from the covers, I navigated my way toward the crib stationed nearby, only to discover it vacant, devoid of the presence I anticipated. My recollection painted a picture of Artemy embarking on his early morning ritual to tend to Cevia. Had they not returned to the comfort of our shared sanctuary?While enveloping myself in a robe, I embarked on a trajectory towards the bathroom, swiftly tending to the ritual of dental hygiene and facial invigoration.
