Valentina pov

The older man before me raised a brow at the word that slipped from my mouth. Before I could process what was happening, my body moved on its own—I fell to the ground, scrambling back, desperate to put distance between us. My entire body trembled, drenched in sweat, and the air around me felt thick, suffocatingly slow.

"You useless girl! Can't you just pull the damn trigger? You act all fucking innocent, but if you don’t learn how to kill, you’ll die instead. This world is survival of the fittest, not some fucking fairytale!"

"Even though you're useless, you should at least learn how to fight. I don’t care if you’re tired—you’re running those fucking laps until you pass out!"

"How dare you! Lock her up in the basement and do not feed her. Maybe when she starves, she’ll learn her lesson."

"Continue whipping her, but do not touch her face. Be careful about that."

    Luca pov “Why are you sleeping in the car when you’re about to get engaged?” Marcus asked as he opened the door, letting in the cool night air. I didn’t respond, my eyes remained closed as I toyed with the coin in my grip, my mind clouded with thoughts. “Luca, I know you can hear me! Why do you always have a habit of ignoring people? Can’t you be nice to me for once? I don’t want to be anywhere near this place, but I’m here because of you! I even had to cancel my date with my wife. Don’t I at least deserve your attention?” he rambled, his voice breaking at the edges as he sniffed, his eyes boring into me with a sadness that should have moved me but… Silence. I kept flipping the coin between my fingers, the corners of my lips curving into a faint frown. “Should I go through with this… or just drive away?” I murmured to myself. I could feel Marcus’ deadly glare burning into me as he finally dropped the act, no longer pretending to cry. Instead, he sighed in frustration. “This i

Almost instantly, I took a step back, rubbing my wrist—not because of the bruise, but because his touch made my skin crawl.It disgusted me."Luca, what are you doing here?" The man turned his attention to him, forcing a smile. "The ceremony should be starting soon. Shouldn't you be with your bride-to-be?"Even though I didn't know this man, one thing was clear, he was furious. His forced smile couldn't hide the way his hands clenched into fists, knuckles white with restrained anger.Luca didn’t respond. His expression remained unreadable, but the tension in his jaw, the way his shoulders stiffened, made it obvious that he was barely holding himself back.I felt so out of place.How the hell had things escalated to this?I shouldn't have wandered off.

    Valentina's POVThe sound of the ticking clock seemed to echo faintly, yet it was all I could hear as I drifted into an agonizing daze.What did he say? He must be mistaken. It couldn’t be true.“Mrs. Laurent.” The monotone voice snapped me back to reality, and I blinked, staring at the man in the white coat.“Mrs. Laurent, are you listening to me?” I blinked again, trying to focus on his words, but they seemed to slip through my mind like water through my fingers. The room felt smaller, the air thicker, as if everything was closing in around me.Breathe, Valentina. Breathe.“Repeat what you just said,” I finally found my voice and demanded, but it was quieter than I intended—just barely above a whisper, yet sharp with a desperate edge I didn’t recognize.The doctor’s eyes softened, but he didn’t hesitate. “Mrs. Laurent, I’m afraid you have brain cancer. The prognosis is… very serious. You have only about a year to live.”A chill ran through me, the world shifting in a way I couldn’t

    Valentina's POVThis has to be a dream. It’s just a nightmare—a terrible, haunting nightmare. So wake up and end this.A faint and distant voice whispered in my ears, trying to delude me into believing that the sight before me wasn’t real—that my husband of six years wasn’t holding another woman in his lap, wasn’t kissing her neck, leaving marks on her skin as if she were the most precious gem. And that woman… wasn’t Caelina.“Damien, I want you. Please, I really want you now,” Caelina whispered to my husband, her eyes closed as soft moans escaped her lips.“Naughty girl,” Damien murmured, his voice dripping with amusement. “You’re pregnant. Do you really think you can handle me? You know how rough I can be when I’m with you. Be patient, my love.”I stood there, frozen, watching the scene unfold, neither of them noticing my presence in the room.I wanted to speak—scream, demand an explanation for what I was seeing—but the words were stuck in my throat. I could do nothing but stand the

I could hear Tessa and her mother burst out laughing, their laughter echoing through the room, piercing me like daggers. But still—still, my eyes were fixed on him.“Y-you’re lying,” I muttered, the tears streaming down my face. But this time, I didn’t cling to him. I just stood there, watching as he scoffed with slight amusement."Do you think I have time for this, Valentina? If you don’t believe me, go ask your father. The moment I brought it up, he only demanded compensation for the broken marriage, like it was some transaction. And don’t even get me started on your sister—she congratulated me for finally getting rid of you. Even your family doesn’t love you; they treat you like dirt," Damien spat, his voice cruel, dripping with venom. "Yet I loved you all these years, and you still couldn’t give me the one thing I desire."Damien’s voice was harsh as he looked at me with a cold stare that almost made me

    Valentina's POVLoud horns blared, angry curses and screams echoed around me. I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my heart pounding in my chest as tears blurred my vision, distorting everything. But I kept driving, weaving through the cars on the road, barely aware of anything but the thoughts in my head—the thoughts that threatened to consume me.My phone buzzed beside me for the fifth time. I glanced at the name on the screen but ignored it again, turning my attention back to the road ahead of me as I increased the speed of the car.Why was I even alive? Why was I still here when I had lost everything and was going to die soon anyway? Why couldn’t I just end it all now?"Let’s end it now, Valentina. Let’s end everything,” I muttered to myself as I drove. My grip on the steering wheel tightened, broken sobs escaping my lips as my mind replayed everything that had happened when I arrived at my father’s house.An hour ago.“D-dad, what are you saying?” I whispered, my voice shaking.

    Alexander pov Bang! Bang! Bang!Three shots. Three bodies.Screams echoed, piercing through the air as three of my men crumpled to the ground with loud thuds, bullets lodged deep in the centers of their heads, their eyes wide open in horror.They didn’t expect it—none of them did. But today, I wasn’t in the mood to take any pleasure in their fear. Instead, I reloaded my gun and aimed it at the men and women cowering before me, their hands raised above their heads like shields to block the bullets.“You have five seconds to tell me where the hell my son is. And with every second that ticks by,” I said, my voice icy and emotionless as I casually aimed at the ten people before me, “one of you will die.”My jaw tightened as none of them answered. Their pitiful cries irritated me, igniting a fierce urge to gun them all down right then and there. But I fought to maintain control, forcing myself to breathe through the rage.I was on a route to Russia for a critical business meeting—one that

  • The Mafia Don's obsession    06|Did he just speak?

    Alexander pov I wasn’t the type of man to be caught off guard. I had always known how to hide my emotions behind a mask. My face remained blank, even when I killed. I was cold, calculated, and professional— never once flinching as I pulled the trigger and sent a bullet through someone’s skull. Why? Because showing my emotions made me vulnerable. My wife’s death was a harsh lesson—one that proved how dangerous it could be to let your guard down. So, I swore never to show even a hint of affection to anyone especially to my son, Felix, since that was the only way to keep him safe. But this—this was different. There were only two people capable of evoking any reaction from me—one was dead, and the other stood before me. As I stared at my son, who hadn’t spoken a word in over a year since his mother’s death, I couldn’t hide the shock that spread across my face. My grip on him tightened as I pulled Felix closer, my voice calm despite the relentless pounding of my heart. Every

    Valentina pov The entire place buzzed with guests, each exuding an air of wealth and importance. The men were dressed in suits, the women in elegant gowns—everyone screamed money and status. My gaze trailed over the massive mansion, and I felt uneasy. With each passing second, the pounding in my chest grew stronger, my breath hitching as everything felt suffocating. This place was suffocating. “Good evening, Dr. Daniel, Madam Emily, and Sir Julian. Welcome.” My eyes snapped to the elderly woman dressed in a maid’s uniform, her head bowed in obedience. I raised a brow, studying her face. She looked familiar. No—scratch that. This entire place looked familiar. I frowned as Daniel responded with a brief greeting, and the maid led us toward the garden where the ceremony was set to take place. “Do you feel okay? You’re looking really pale. Should I check up on you?” Daniel asked in a low whisper. I turned to him, noticing the slight worry in his eyes. Even Sebastian and Julian look

  • The Mafia Don's obsession    65|You are not Emily-

    Valentina pov The ride was steeped in silence. No one spoke. Daniel and Sebastian looked awkward, constantly glancing at each other as if silently communicating, while Julian appeared almost bored, lazily crossing his legs as he yawned and scrolled through his phone. Alexander wasn’t here with us. When I woke up this morning, he was already gone, and Martha had told me he had an important business matter to attend to. He would meet us later at the engagement ceremony. To be honest, I didn’t know how I felt right now, but I was restless. I wasn’t sure if it had to do with what happened between Alexander and me again, or perhaps it was something else—maybe it was the place we were going to. Either way, I didn’t feel good. My heart pounded heavily against my chest, my palms were sweaty, and I felt sick, especially with the persistent headache throbbing in my head. “Ugh, I should have asked for some medicine before I left,” I muttered under my breath, closing my eyes and rubbi

    Alexander pov I grunted as I pushed into her, and almost immediately, Valentina’s walls clenched around my dick, gripping me like she was made just for me. Fuck, she was tight. The first time I’d fucked her, she’d been just as tight. It had been hard for her to take me fully back then, but this time, she seemed more relaxed, letting me slide almost all the way in. Almost. My hand reached out, grabbing both of her legs that were dangling beside me, giving her a moment to adjust to my dick. Valentina’s eyes were shut, her lips parted, her back arched, and her breath coming in ragged gasps as she gripped the sheets beneath her. I had never seen anything hotter than this — the sight of her trying to take it all, her bare body laid out before me, waiting to be fucked. It was fucking intoxicating. Shit, I was barely holding myself back from slamming into her right then and there. “Mmmm,” Valentina moaned, and before I even realized it, she had started moving her hips on

    Valentina povA breathless gasp escaped my lips as Alexander stripped the dress from my body, leaving me bare. His hand parted my legs with a rough urgency, while his other arm wrapped tightly around my waist, pulling me flush against him—against the undeniable hardness straining for release.Fuck.My bra was gone in an instant, and Alexander’s mouth found its way to my nipple. I bit my bottom lip, eyes fluttering shut as his sinful tongue flicked over the sensitive peak before his teeth grazed it just enough to send a sharp jolt straight to my core—leaving me breathless, trembling beneath him.Before I could stop myself, my fingers threaded into his hair, but in the next second, he pulled away, seizing both my wrists and pinning them above my head. His dark gaze bore into me, setting my body ablaze with nothing more than the sheer intensity of it.I wanted him. God, I wanted him so fucking bad.“Alexander—”“Do you want me?” he interrupted, as if he could pull the words from my lips

  • The Mafia Don's obsession    61|Valentina is a distraction.

    Alexander pov Drugs, weapons, and death. Those were the three words that defined the mafia. When I was younger, father would always sit me down and remind me that nothing was more important than staying on top. "Emotions are a weakness, Alexander. Something the likes of us cannot afford. They’re a distraction—nothing more than a fleeting delusion meant for humans. But you are not human. You are a monster, a creature of the darkness, and that is what you must be to everyone… even your family, even your child. Because your own blood might be the first to stab you in the back." Emotions were a distraction, something I couldn’t afford—not now, not ever. I had made too many enemies to allow myself to slip up. I had to stay focused, always on alert, because one mistake could lead to my death, the fall of my empire, and worst of all, my son’s demise. I knew this. It had been etched into my mind from day one. So tell me, why was she—the one I should despise for having my enemy’s blood

    Valentina pov"Achoo!" I sneezed, rubbing my red nose while sniffing.Hm? Was someone thinking bad about me? I wondered with a shrug.But just as I looked up, my eyes widened in shock. Standing before me was Martha, holding a tray filled with medicine and a cup of water."Here you go, madam," she said calmly.I blinked at her in disbelief. What the hell? I had just sneezed, and she was already here with medicine?How was that even possible? Tsk. I knew it—Martha wasn’t human in the first place. No one here was normal if you really thought about it. A man who killed without mercy, a kid who didn’t even flinch at gunshots—everyone seemed like characters straight out of an action movie. I was the only normal one here. Well, maybe Daniel and Sebastian too. Julian? That fool didn’t count (because of what happened at the club yesterday)“Thank you.” I forced a smile, taking the medicine from the tray before swallowing it down with water. Placing the cup back, I sighed, my gaze drifting arou
