The Mafia‘s Shared Love Chapter 1
NOLAN’s POV “You’re marrying her, and that’s final!” my father declared, rising from his chair with an air of authority that filled the room. I stood slowly, taking deliberate steps toward the door. “You don’t get to decide how I live my life. I’ll do whatever the hell I want!” I shot back, pausing at the door frame to meet his gaze before walking away.As I headed to my car, my mind raced with the weight of his words. Marry a girl I didn’t even know in two months? Who the hell did he think he was, dictating how screwed up my life should be?On my way out, I caught sight of my mother standing by the doorway. The worry etched across her face was unmistakable, but I managed a faint smile before stepping out into the evening air.Growing up, I had always been the most gentle of my siblings. Ruthless, yet gentle. I’d poured my focus into the family business, knowing my father would one day hand it over to me. The mafia world was twisted and chaotic, but it perfectly fits my type of chao

ANASTASIA’S POV “I can’t believe my dad is setting me up with someone I’ve never met just because he thinks I need a man’s help to run the family business I’ve been preparing for my entire life,” I ranted to my best friend, Athena, pacing back and forth in the room. Athena and I have been friends since we were kids. We both grew up in the same environment filled with rich and snobby people. Athena wasn’t the prim and proper lady you would expect in this kind of environment. That’s why I couldn’t even stay mad when she said, “It might not be as bad as you think. Who knows? He could be handsome and sexy as hell. Win-win.”“Ugh, you’re missing the point, Athena!” I snapped, throwing my hands up. “I don’t need a man’s help to run this business. I’ve been training for this my whole life!” I paused, the memory of earlier that day flashing through my mind. My father had barged into a meeting I was leading with our shareholders and pulled me aside. I thought he wanted to discuss new strat

ANASTASIA’S POV “Let’s get this party started, bitches!” Athena hollered as we strutted into the club. Classic Athena—the life of the party and unapologetically bold. She thrived on attention, and tonight was no exception. Women were her playground, though she dabbled with men whenever the mood struck.We headed straight to our usual spot in the VIP section at Club Hera. It wasn’t my top choice of venues, but the exclusivity made up for it. Plus, the men here were yummy.“Our usual drinks,” I instructed the waiter as he approached. From across the room, I caught sight of the club manager and gave him a small wave. He nodded in acknowledgment. “Gosh the girls here are looking way too sexy, I want them all!” Athena said, her eyes flitting eagerly across the room from woman to woman.I chuckled. “Go easy on yourself, young lady. You can’t have them all.” “Watch me,” she replied with a wink, already scouting her prey.The waiter returned with our drinks, and I could feel myself settlin

NOLAN’S POVWalking into the house I saw my mother and her assistants preparing for dinner tonight. It all felt surreal. The reason why parents were going to such lengths for this arrangement was absurd. I shook my head as I caught a glimpse of my mother, orchestrating everything with her usual precision. She was a perfectionist through and through.“Hello, Mother,” I said, leaning in to plant a kiss on her foreheadShe looked up with her beautiful smile. “My love, I take it you’re in a better mood than yesterday?” she asked with a playful wiggle of her brows, her teasing making me chuckle. It amazed me how she and Father worked as a pair. They are polar opposites. Mother was gentle and fun, while Father was strict and stoic, except when he was around her. Their dynamic was enviable in many ways.“Not exactly. Seeing you prepare for this dinner makes it painfully real that there’s no way out of this for me,” I said, sinking into the chair next to her.Her expression softened as she re

ANASTASIA’S POVDriving into my parents’ estate, I found my father and his assistant outside, waiting on Mother, as usual. Her delays were as predictable as they were frustrating, and Father’s expression was a blend of annoyance and resignation.“Anastasia, finally,” he said, glancing at his watch. “Your mother will be out shortly. Are you ready?”I nodded, smoothing the soft fabric of my dress. “I’m ready,” I said as I leaned against the hood of my sports car. Minutes later, Mother emerged from the house, her assistant trailing behind. She walked past me, her heels clicking on the stone pavement, without so much as a glance in my direction. She slid into the car, and I entered mine. I waited as my parents' car and their security detail led the way, and then we were off to the Russo estate.The ride was silent except for the soft hum from the engine of my car. The weight of the night’s expectations pressed heavily on my shoulders. As much as I’d prepared myself for this moment, the r

NOLAN’S POVThe private elevator leading to my office building hummed softly as it took me to the executive floor. The polished steel doors slid open as we arrived. The pristine expanse of the executive floor came into view. The quiet buzz of the city below was almost entirely muted which gave the office space an air of detachment from the chaos of the world outside.Walking toward my office, I spotted Dimitri leaning against Rebecca’s desk. He was mid-conversation, undoubtedly trying to charm her again. Rebecca’s polite smile failed to mask her discomfort, but Dimitri didn’t seem to care. “Good afternoon, sir,” Rebecca greeted me, her voice a bit too cheerful as she glanced in my direction, she looked glad someone finally saved her from Dimitri. “Afternoon,” I replied, my eyes narrowing slightly as I glanced at Dimitri.“Well, well, look who’s here,” Dimitri said, falling into step with me as I headed for my office. “How’s the future husband-to-be this fine morning? Already practic

ANASTASIA’S POV"Yes, Athena, I’m in my office. You can come by," I replied, signing off on a stack of documents on my desk. "Just ensure you’re here before 4 PM—I have business to attend to after that.""Oh, I’ll be there in an hour. Don’t miss me too much," Athena said cheerfully on the other end of the line.I chuckled dryly. "You wish."As I set the phone back on the desk, my secretary walked in, balancing yet another stack of files in her arms. I sighed inwardly. Managing a family furniture business as a front for our real operations was both a blessing and a curse. The endless paperwork tied to both businesses? Definitely a curse."They just never end, do they?" I said sarcastically, glancing at Ruth as she placed the files neatly on my desk. She gave me a polite smile, one I imagined she had reserved for all my complaints."You have a meeting at 2 o’clock, and you need to be at the other warehouse by 4," she said, her voice calm and professional as she ticked items off her iPa

NOLAN’S POV I sat in my dining chair, staring blankly at the unopened bottle of whiskey on the table. The light coming in from the city skyline stretched beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows lighting the room dimly. My phone rang, pulling me out of my deep thoughts. The name on the screen was for one of my men, this could either make my day or leave me livid. I swiped to answer, my voice clipped.“What?”“Boss, we’ve got a problem,” the man stammered. His tone already irritating me.“Spit it out,” I snapped ready to get the conversation over with.“There was… a raid at the docks,” he said, hesitating with every word. “They were waiting for us. Three crates are gone—seized before we could get them out.”My jaw tightened. “A raid? How the hell did they know? Someone talk?”“I—I don’t know yet. But we’re working on it,” he stuttered.“Working on it?” I repeated with disgust “I don’t pay you stupid assholes to work on it!” I said my anger rising “I pay you bastards to ensure situations l

ANASTASIA’S POVI could feel a dull, persistent throb banging through my skull as I slowly regained consciousness. The last thing I could remember before passing out was the driver stopping to check the tires, and the car was suddenly filled with fumes that knocked me out. From where I was, I could hear muffled and distant voices. I could feel my eyes covered by blindfolds, so opening my eyes was pretty much useless. I tried to move my wrists, but they were tightly bound behind me. The rough texture of rope dug into my skin with every slight movement. I tugged once, then twice, getting frustrated as I realized how useless my efforts were. My legs were bound to the chair as well, restricting even the slightest move.I let out a frustrated groan just as I heard the door creaking open. The door opening was followed by slow and deliberate footsteps. I counted two people from the footsteps. One of them stopped a few feet away while the other circled me, the sound of heels clicking on t

NOLAN’S POVI was sitting on a couch in my hotel room with my elbows resting on my knees. Mateo was sitting across from me with a tense expression on his face as he thought about our next move. “We need to clean up this mess," I said with frustration evident in my voice. “Raul Esteban did more damage than I anticipated, and now my business is paying the price."Mateo sighed as he said, “We’ve already started damage control, but it’s a bit difficult at the moment. Some of your men switched sides the moment they saw an opportunity.”I tilted my head back as I let out a humorless laugh. “Then they need to be reminded of their loyalty. Actions have consequences.”Mateo nodded. “I was thinking the same thing. What do you want me to do with them?”Before I could answer, the door burst open. Mateo and I turned towards the door as Dimitri stormed in, his eyes scanning the room before landing on me.I blinked at how he stormed into the room, then leaned back into the couch. “Uh, hi, roommate?

ANASTASIA’S POVThe chatter of conversations filled my ears as I stepped into the conference room. I settled into my seat at the head of the long table, looking at the expressions of my suppliers seated around it.“Alright,” I said as I crossed one leg over the other, leaning forward slightly. “Let’s get straight to the point. I hear there’s been an issue with delays in shipment. Does anybody care to explain?”Mr. Donatti, one of my longest-standing suppliers, adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat. “Yes, Miss Ivanovo–.”I raised my hand, cutting him off. “Mrs Russo,” I corrected in a stern tone. “Ah, yes. My apologies, ma’am,” he said looking around the room awkwardly. “The new regulations at the docks are slowing down our processing times. We’re doing our best to navigate the situation.”I nodded as I tapped my fingers rhythmically on the table. “And by ‘doing your best,’ you mean what exactly? Because last I checked, I paid for efficiency, not excuses.”Donatti shifted in his

NOLAN’S POVI stirred slightly as I felt nudging in my sides, but I didn’t wake up, it must be Anna thrashing around in her sleep. The nudging continued consistently.I scrunched up my brows trying to adjust my eyes to the warm light coming inside through the window. I looked to my side to see Anastasia already awake and looking at me with wide eyes.“Uhm, good morning to you too?” I said turning to face her fully.“You’re going to be late for your trip,” she said blankly.“Can’t wait to get rid of me, huh?” I said as I leaned in to plant a soft kiss on her lips. She let out a sigh as she snuggled closer to me, “I’m sorry it looks like that, I just like being on time when traveling.”I chuckled, “That’s alright princess,” I said as I pressed another kiss to her lips lingering for a bit. I knew I had to leave soon, but I wanted to enjoy a little more time with her. She kissed me back just as softly before pulling away slightly, her fingers tracing light patterns on my chest.“You p

ANASTASIA’S POVWhen I stepped into the house, the aroma of something delicious greeted me. I paused for a second to take in the scent of spices and roasted meat.I curiously made my way to the kitchen wanting to see what Maria was making. The last thing I expected to see was Nolan standing over the stove, making roasted chicken. Maria was standing beside him, handing him a dish as he plated the meal.I took in what was happening and blinked, maybe I was hallucinating?Nolan? Cooking?He looked up just then and caught sight of me. I watched as a slow smile spread across his face. “Hey, princess.”I folded my arms and leaned against the doorway, my lips twitching with amusement. “Well, well well. What exactly am I witnessing here?”Nolan smirked as he continued with what he was doing. “Just a man making dinner for his wife.”I glanced over at the dining table, where different dishes were already laid out—roast potatoes, grilled vegetables, fresh bread, and a bottle of red wine at the c

NOLAN’S POV I drummed my fingers softly against the desk, staring blankly at the stack of files at my front. I’ve been sitting in my office for the past two hours, trying to get some work done, but my mind kept drifting elsewhere.To her. Anastasia.It had been a day since the night we were intimate, and I couldn’t shake the thoughts of her running through my head. The way she had fit so perfectly in my arms when I held her. The feel of her skin against mine. The way her lips had felt against mine. The way she had looked at me afterwards.I rubbed a hand over my face as I leaned back into my chair.Get it together, Nolan.I didn’t think things between us were going to get this intertwined. This marriage wasn’t supposed to mean anything. But damn, it did. The more time I spent around her, the more difficult it became to not get drawn to her.I was pulled out of my thoughts by a knock on my office door. “Come in.”The door opened, and my private investigator, Viktor, stepped inside, ho
The Mafia‘s Shared Love Chapter 38
ANASTASIA’S POV I tapped my fingers against the steering wheel as I parked at the entrance of an electronic store owned by a family friend John. It’s the same place I’d always come to for my tech needs. I lost my phone in the fire with so many other things, and I needed to replace them as soon as possible.I stepped out of the car, adjusting my bag over my shoulder, and walked into the store. The moment I entered, a warm, familiar voice called out to me.“Well, well, if it isn’t my favorite customer.”A smile tugged at my lips as I turned to find John, standing in the middle of the store with his signature kind expression. “Hey, John,” I greeted, making my way towards him.“For me to see you, you must’ve gotten yourself in trouble huh?” He said, chuckling.“Haha, very funny, John.” “What can I help you with Anna?” “I need a new phone. My last one got... burned.” I said as I looked around.I turned back to him to see his brows lifted in surprise. “Burned? That’s not something I he

NOLAN’S POV Something tickled my face, pulling me out of my sleep. I scrunched my face in mild irritation, shifting away from what was disturbing me. But, the tickling didn’t stop, it continued brushing against my nose. My brows furrowed in confusion as I opened my eyes to see what was happening. As I rubbed my eyes open, I looked beside me to find a figure sleeping next to meThen it hit me.Anastasia and I shared a bed.Adjusting to the dim morning light coming into the room through the slit in the curtains. I turned my head slightly to get a good look at her. And there she was, curled up beside me, strands of her long hair sprawled across my chest.The events from last night replayed in my head, making a slow smirk creep onto my lips. It was the first time we had shared a bed, and it was perfect.I carefully reached out to brush a few strands of hair from her face. When my fingers made contact with her skin, she stirred slightly but didn’t wake up. Instead, she snuggled closer t
The Mafia‘s Shared Love Chapter 36
ANASTASIA’S POVI pulled back gently from Nolan’s embrace, but he still held me in his arms. I looked up at him to search his face and tried to read his expression. We locked eyes and I could see a different mix of emotions. My heart skipped a beat as his eyes darted down to my lips, and as if on impulse, I did the same too. I watched him with my anticipation building as his eyes darted from mine to my lips and he looked like he was fighting an inner battle. He swallowed hard as he drew closer to me. His lips hovered just above mine and without thinking, I closed the small distance between us and crashed my lips into his. Immediately our lips collided, it felt like a missing piece in me had been found. This wasn’t the first time we were kissing, but this time it was real. Nolan cupped my cheeks as he deepened the kiss, his lips slowly gliding against mine. My fingers curled into the fabric of his t-shirt wanting his warmth. Before I realized it, my back pressed against something
