CHAPTER EIGHTEENMAXIMOI rushed towards her and lifted her body from the floor. Her head lolled to the side as I pulled her body into my arms, and I cursed, rage building up within me. Her body was soaking wet. She was not wet when I left her here, which only meant one thing—my men had messed with her.A bitter, sardonic laugh escaped my lips as I carried her out of the dark cell, walking past other occupied cells until I got to the staircase. The prison guards and prisoners stared at me with confusion spread across their faces. I didn’t give a fuck. At least not at the moment. The only thing I cared about was getting Aria warm and fully conscious.A sharp wince left her lips as I began to make my way up the stairs. She released another sound, a groan of pain, and buried her head into my chest. My heart squeezed with various emotions I didn’t know I was capable of. I decided to ignore it like I was doing everything else. The moment I stepped foot into the lobby of my building, I be

CHAPTER NINETEENARIAThe moment Maximo kissed me, everything else ceased to exist. My hatred for him, my desire to flee from him, my promise to never give him whatever it was that he wanted from me—it all disappeared into the air, like smoke on a foggy day. He tasted of whiskey and cigarettes, but underneath it, there was an undertone of something sharper, less sweet. Something dark, something dangerous. His warm hand came up to hold my face as he deepened the kiss. I moaned into his mouth as his teeth caught the seam of my bottom lip as he sucked it between his own. It was rough and wild, making my knees go weak in an instant. His stubble scratched against my chin as he moved his lips down the column of my throat. “Maximo,” I moaned, burying my hands in his thick hair as he pulled me impossibly closer against him.His hands explored my clothed body, caressing and pulling at the buttons of the cashmere sweater—his cashmere sweater—which I was wearing.“Fuck,” he groaned deeply.H

CHAPTER TWENTYARIA“It’s dinner time. The boss requests your presence downstairs,” Maria announced as she stepped into the room.I internally smirked. When Maximo didn’t call me down for breakfast this morning, I was confused, pissed and disappointed. Did he take my word for it when I told him I never wanted to be around him? No. That would mean he was granting my wishes, which isn’t Maximo-like.Did he decide to leave me locked in the room till I starved to death? I doubted that. If Maximo finally decided to kill me, I was sure he would want to do it with his hands. I had spent hours asking myself questions, with nervous anticipation coursing through my veins. I had a plan to escape, and for it to work, Maximo had to be predictable. I had to see him at least once every day. Seduction. That was my plan, to seduce him.There was something between us—a tension, hot electricity and heat that swirled in the air whenever we were in the same room. It had always been there, from the fir

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONEMAXIMOMy hands remained balled into fists as anger coursed through my veins. I never had a problem with Lorenzo showing up for dinner unannounced. He was my brother, the only person I trusted, the only one I would lay down my life for if needed.But at this moment, he was the person I wanted to smack in the head, and he was the last person I wanted here.“I don’t understand why she’s having dinner with you, Scar,” he said, switching to Italian.I stabbed a piece of chicken with my fork, brought it to my mouth, and took my time chewing it before swallowing and turning to answer him. “Because I wanted her to.”We’d had this same conversation in the past, and it annoyed me that he was bringing it up again. Lorenzo’s brown eyes regarded me for a few seconds before he burst out in laughter. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes as I continued to devour my dinner.“I’m curious to see how this whole thing will play out,” he eventually said after his laughter had died down

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWOARIAI was livid. At first, my anger stemmed from the fact that Maximo’s brother interrupted the moment we were having. I had been confident that my plans to seduce Maximo would work, especially as I saw the way he reacted to me. Until Lorenzo showed up, glaring at me like he wanted to kill me with his own bare hands. Lorenzo was the type of man who was all smiles and jokes but was actually very dangerous. Men like that were dangerous because people often underestimated them. But there was something about him that made dread skitter across my stomach. It was different from the transfixing fear I felt for Maximo—the one that held me in a state of captivation, unable to look away from him despite my trepidation.With Lorenzo, the fear I felt was dirty and repulsive. His presence in the room made my skin crawl. My anger only worsened when they began to speak Italian, deliberately exempting me from the conversation. Each time Lorenzo laughed and glanced at me, I wis

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREEARIA“Why are you hesitating, Red?” Maximo drawled, his voice husky. One hand came up to stroke the side of my face. I shuddered despite myself, loving the feel of his warm, calloused fingers stroking over my skin. ‘Just shoot him. Kill him now and all your problems are gone. Pay him back for all the pain he caused you.’My head was a fuzzy mess, my plans and schemes all evaporated from my brain as he leaned further into me. His scent enveloped me, his body warmth radiating through his thin shirt, sending shivers up my spine. I couldn't look away from his grey eyes, his dark lashes brushing against them, framing them so beautifully. My body ached with want, longing for just a touch.There were only two thoughts in my head at that moment. One, I wanted to kiss him so badly. Two, I couldn’t kill him even if I wanted to. This has to be a trap. Maximo Morelli would never let me kill him.My grip on the gun loosened. The weapon clattered loudly to the floor. None of

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOURMAXIMOIt’s been four days. Four days since I kissed Aria, four days since I touched her, felt the contours of her soft skin under my palms and the silky smoothness of her lips pressed against mine. Four days of torture, having her moans replay in my head over and over again. It’s pathetic. I am Maximo Morelli. I never pine over anyone. Heck, I have a rule of not fucking one woman more than twice. I have more than enough women at my disposal, women who would beg me to give them pleasure…Yet here I was, sitting at the back of my car with a laptop positioned on the headrest mount, watching Aria through the remote security system I had installed on my personal computer just for her. I always had CCTV cameras in every corner of my home, but there was a security room in my mansion where all the monitors were located. I’d never had any reason to have the network installed on my personal device, and yet I did this just so I could watch her whenever I wanted to.I loved

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVEARIAI flipped a page of the old, giant hardcover book I was holding, my fingers skimming across the letters inked on the pages. I had gone exploring in Maximo’s mansion, deciding to take advantage of the little freedom he had given me. I was shocked to find out that he had a library here. Not just any basic library, a large, well-decorated one, with shelves and bookshelves upon bookshelves stacked high with ancient, leatherbound books in pristine condition. Like the rest of the house, this large room had an antique, Victorian-style interior design. The furniture was very rich and dark wood, and the carpets were thick and fluffy. A grand fireplace, complete with fire, lined the back wall of the room, giving it a warm glow. I took a deep breath as the scent of cinnamon filled the air. The pleasant scent of old, crisp book pages was calming and relaxing. I had always loved reading, and that made me wonder why a man like Maximo had a well-maintained library in his h

CHAPTER NINETY-FIVEMAXIMOI couldn’t wrap my mind around what Aria had just said. Her words echoed in my mind, loud and jarring like a bullet through the air. It didn’t make sense. It couldn’t be true.“I don’t believe you,” I finally said, and I saw the way her eyes fell.“I’m telling the truth, Maximo. What will I gain by lying about this?”I gritted my teeth and stepped away from her, needing to clear my head. The woman I loved just told me that my own blood brother, whom I’ve known my whole life, is planning to have us killed. What the fuck was I supposed to make of that?She took a step towards me, and I raised my head to look at her again. My eyes narrowed at her as I tried to understand if she was lying, if she had misheard something, if this was some kind of sick joke. “Have I ever done anything to break your trust?” She asked, and I could hear the hurt in her voice. The fear in her eyes and the slight wavering in her voice were too raw to be fake.“Are you sure?” My voice
The Mafia Don’s Temptation Chapter Ninety-Four
CHAPTER NINETY-FOURARIAMy heart thumped heavily within my chest as I slowly turned to face him. The air between us crackled with tension as Lorenzo’s dark eyes fixed on mine. I forced myself to swallow the lump in my throat, pretending I didn’t hear or understand a single word of his phone call. “Oh, Lorenzo, I hope I didn’t interrupt your call,” I chuckled lightly. “I was just walking around the compound, admiring it for one last time before we finally leave. I didn’t expect to bump into you.”His expression was unreadable as he studied me for a moment too long, making my stomach churn with nerves. My palms were slick with sweat, and I clasped them tightly behind my back to keep from fidgeting.“You didn’t interrupt my call,” he said finally. His voice was smooth but sharp, like a blade wrapped in silk.I faked a frown, pulling my brows together. “But you look upset. Irritated even.”He chuckled, and the sound was more of a harsh one than an amused one. He took a step closer, and

CHAPTER NINETY-THREEARIAThe morning air was cool and quiet as I stepped outside. My shoes crunched lightly on the gravel path as I stepped away from the main house. For a moment, I just stood there, letting the breeze brush over my skin. It felt so peaceful out here, and I didn’t feel like I was suffocating.I didn’t know why—maybe it was the weight of finally leaving Milan all behind—but I felt something uneasy gnawing at my heart.Someone had just tried to kill Maximo yesterday. Whoever it was had succeeded in killing Luca. I’d tried to calm Maximo down yesterday. I’d offered him the comfort I could give, but deep down, I was troubled and scared. I barely slept a wink last night, even after Maximo and I retired into bed. I kept thinking about the blood I washed off his clothes and body. Luca’s blood. I kept thinking about how, even though we were so close to leaving, it still didn’t make me feel at ease. There was still someone out there who wanted Maximo dead. And heck, the perso
The Mafia Don’s Temptation Chapter Ninety-Two
CHAPTER NINETY-TWOMAXIMOLuca’s funeral was set in the small graveyard of a chapel on the outskirts of the city--a place Luca had picked years ago in one of his rare candid moments. “My Papa was buried here. If I’m ever killed, I want to be buried here too,” he’d told me once. I never thought I’d be standing there, watching it happen.The air smelled of fresh-cut grass and incense, the kind that always felt heavy in my lungs. A priest stood by the white coffin, and in a steady voice, he recited prayers that pierced the thick silence hanging over the men who surrounded the grave.Dark suits, stiff shoulders, and lowered gazes--it was the mafia’s version of grief. None of the men spoke, though I caught a few glances aimed my way. Pity. Respect. It all weighed heavy in their eyes. I ignored them all and returned my gaze to the coffin resting over the open grave.Luca’s mother stood closest to the dug ground before us. My heart clenched as I watched her small frame sway slightly under th
The Mafia Don’s Temptation Chapter Ninety-One
CHAPTER NINETY-ONEARIAI stared at my phone for what felt like the hundredth time in the last hour. Maximo’s last text still glowed on the screen.‘You’re so naughty. Give me a few more minutes.’That was over an hour ago.I’ve tried calling him at least ten times since then, but I got no response.“Maybe he’s just having so much fun,” I muttered to myself, pacing back and forth across the room. I tried to tell myself that, tried so hard to believe it, and even tried to be jealous that he was having fun without me. It was easier to focus on that than on the gnawing feeling that clawed at my chest.Maximo was never late. He always kept to time, and even if there had been a change in plans, he would have kept me updated. There was definitely something wrong, and the dread in the pit of my stomach was eating me alive.Exhaling a shaky breath, I reached for a small button on Maximo’s bedside table and pressed it. It took a few minutes, but in no time, I heard a soft knock on the door.“C
The Mafia Don’s Temptation Chapter Ninety
CHAPTER NINETYMAXIMOThe tension in the air was subtle but ever-present as Lorenzo walked into my office with a look of curiosity playing in his eyes. “What was that about?” he asked, nodding toward the door where Luca had just exited.I shrugged, keeping my movements deliberate as I packed the remaining files on my desk into my sleek black briefcase. “Nothing important. We were just tying up some loose ends.” My voice was casual, but the weight of the folder in my inner jacket pocket burned in the back of my mind. I didn’t know what was inside yet, and although I never kept things from Lorenzo, I wondered why Luca told me not to tell anyone about it yet.Lorenzo hummed low in his throat before taking a seat in front of my desk. A small smirk appeared on his lips as he watched me closely. “You’re really doing this, huh? Running away from all of it.”“Not running,” I corrected, snapping the briefcase shut. “I’m just leaving this life behind.”A chuckle rumbled from his chest. “Yeah,

CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINEMAXIMOThe memory of the pleasant morning I spent with Aria was further pushed to the back of my mind as I arrived at the site of the explosion. The air was heavy with the lingering scent of ash and debris as I stepped out of the car. The space stretched before me, and as I stared at the blackened remains of the building where I would have had a meeting with my men and handed the mafia over to Roberto, I realized that it could have been one of us in this situation right now. My boots crunched against broken glass and rubble as I moved forward, surveying the destruction. Enrico walked beside me, his face etched with a mixture of anger and regret. “We lost five men that night,” he said, his voice low. “They didn’t stand a chance.”I nodded, my jaw tightening. I’d already visited the hospital earlier before coming here. I spoke to the survivors and settled the finances and bills of anything they would need. I also planned to visit the families of the deceased, and I

CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHTMAXIMOThe soft golden light of morning filtered through the dark curtains, warming the room and brushing against my skin. My eyes opened slowly as they adjusted to the brightness, and that was when I saw her—Aria, curled against me, her head nestled against my chest.Her delicate fingers traced idle patterns over my bare chest, and when I looked down, I saw her watching me, her lips curled into a faint smile.“How long have you been awake?” I murmured, my voice still heavy with sleep.“Long enough to know you were smiling in your sleep,” she teased in a light and playful voice.I raised an eyebrow, brushing a stray strand of red hair away from her face. “I was smiling, was I?”She nodded, her smile widening. “Care to share what made you so happy?”I couldn’t help but grin. “You.”Her cheeks flushed, but she tilted her head, clearly wanting more. “Really?”“I dreamt about you,” I admitted with a nod.Her curiosity deepened as she shifted closer, her leg brushing a

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVENARIAIt was finally the day I would be getting discharged from the hospital, and it felt like a strange dream. The sunlight streaming through the windows seemed too bright, and Maximo’s presence beside me, with his hand lingering near my lower back, kept me at ease.“Are you ready?” he asked in a soft voice.I nodded, clutching the hospital bag Maria had packed for me. I said my goodbyes to Doctor Rossi, who jokingly warned me that she didn’t want to see me near a hospital anytime soon, except it was for the birth of my child. As we finally stepped out of the hospital building, the cool, crisp air filled my lungs, a reminder that I was finally free from the sterile, suffocating confines of the hospital walls.As Maximo opened the car door for me, his hand grazed mine—a fleeting touch that sent a ripple of desire and longing through me. The car came to life, and soon, we were pulling out of the hospital premises and onto the highway. As we were on the road, he glan
