The Reluctant Mafia Bride THE ORDER OF THE SERAPHIM
Arya decided to play it cool but it was nerve wracking. She had suspected that one of her spare keys had gone missing a few days ago but she shrugged it off. She initially had three keys but she could only find two. And now, she found out someone planted a camera in her room. It was not the reason behind it that worried her, it was figuring out who did it. They had so many enemies and frenemies, it was hard to keep up. She was thankful she found out about it before taking her clothes off last night. The watcher would have had a tape to blackmail her. What could the watcher want? She could barely sleep all night with the thought of some stranger watching her in her bed. She had texted Leonardo immediately she found she he told her to leave it be. If she removed it, the suspect could try to do something worse and they had to figure out who it was first. As soon as the sun came up, she freshened up in the bathroom and left her room to look for the Mother superior. Getting t

“Who are you?”, she asked. “Just keep quiet and come with me. If you even think about screaming I’ll blow your head off”, he said and pointed a gun at her. Arya looked around but there was no one in sight. The man chuckled. “Don’t worry about getting help. All the sisters are in the hall for prayers. They can’t hear you from up here so move, slut. And put your hands up”, he said with a grin. She raised her hands and did as he instructed. “Yeah, that’s some nice ass. Trust me, the thought of what I’m going to do to you is keeping you alive for a while”, he laughed. Arya grimaced in disgust. “Who is your boss?”, she asked, moving down the stairs. “What do you need that information for? Don’t worry, he might have his turn with you too”, the sick bastard said. She had had just about enough. She caught his reflection from the glass window. His phone rang and he searched his pockets for it, taking his eyes off her. In a split second, she turned and kicked the gun out of
The Reluctant Mafia Bride TWISTED GAME
Arya handed her phone over to Leonardo to look at the pictures of the documents. “What does The Order of the Seraphim stands for? And why was it on Isabel’s desk?”, she asked. “Whoever is behind this is far from ordinary,” Leonardo said. “Each page is written in a different style. The first few pages use Latin Cipher, the next are in Old Church Latin, the third in cryptic abbreviations, the fourth is in Reverse Script, and the fifth section employs a Simple Substitution Cipher.” The others in the room exchanged surprised glances, clearly impressed. “How did you decipher them?” Rob asked. “I had a lot of free time in my grandfather’s cell and a lot of books”, Leonardo said. Arya winced at the remembrance of his childhood. “Can you translate this?”, Arya asked. “I can try but it will take a long time to do that. I’ll involve my tech team, they would help fasten the process”, he responded. “I’ll send the copies over”, Rob said and walked away to concentrate on his work.
The Reluctant Mafia Bride INSIDE MAN
Lima walked into his office, disregarding the secretary. “I’ll call security, ma’m. You can’t go in just like that”, the secretary ran after her. She could not give two shits. He was apparently in a meeting with two men she couldn’t recognize. They didn’t look like distinguished men so she went ahead with her plan. Not like she cared about their status anyways. “Lima, what are you doing here?”, he asked. “You’re so stupid for asking me that, Manuel. How dare you lay your filthy hands on Pablo? If you have an issue with me then say it to my face, fight me. Don’t involve my family”, she shouted. Manuel excused the men from the room. “Lima, how dare you barge into my office and wrongly accuse me?”, he asked as soon as the men left his office. “Just don’t get surprised when I strike back, Manuel. You’re the only person I have an issue with, stop screwing with my family. I might just come back for yours”, she said. Manuel laughed. “I don’t even care ab
The Reluctant Mafia Bride POOR MISTRESS
The drug dealer’s house was tucked away in the farthest corner of a shadowy alley, a grimy and forgotten part of the city where the faint glow of streetlights barely reached. The building itself was a crumbling, decrepit structure, its once-white walls now stained with years of neglect and graffiti. The windows were dark, except for the flickering blue light of a television casting an eerie glow through the thin curtains. Arya stood just outside the door, her heart pounding in her chest, though her expression remained calm, almost disinterested. She was skimpily dressed, her tight dress clinging to her curves, leaving little to the imagination. The outfit was designed to catch the eye, to make her seem like just another woman looking for a quick score or a rough night. But underneath the flimsy exterior, Arya’s mind was sharp, her senses heightened as she waited for her moment. She leaned casually against the wall, her stiletto heels clicking softly against the cracked pavemen
The Reluctant Mafia Bride THE TORTURE-R
“What could be the connection here?”, Ricardo asked. “The convent must be in on it. What if it’s this Order of the Seraphim? What if it’s like a secret society?”, Arya responded with more questions. “Isabel does have a vibe. It could be the whole town council is involved and so is their jurisdiction. But someone has to be pulling all the strings”, Leonardo said. “Manuel?”, Rob asked, joining them. “The priest?”, Arya asked. “Isabel?”, Ricardo asked. They turned to see the guy who Rob was beating up already unconscious. Arya gave him a hard stare but Leonardo and Ricardo were indifferent. “What? He asked for it”, he said with a shrug. “Now how do we question him?”, Arya asked. “We always figure something out”, Leonardo said. “And if he dies?”, she asked. “He won’t die”, Rob said. Arya gave him another hard stare. “We should leave now. We’ll take him and the tape with us”, Leonardo said, taking Arya’s hand and leading her outside. * * * * * * * * * * *
The Reluctant Mafia Bride ROB, THE DECEIVER
Leonardo straightened up, still gripping the hammer, his gaze shifting from José’s broken form to Ricardo. He could feel the tension in the room thickening as Ricardo’s eyes gleamed with sadistic anticipation. The sight of José’s suffering only seemed to fuel his excitement. “Ricardo,” Leonardo said with a tight voice, though he forced a smile. “You always have the worst timing.” Ricardo chuckled. “I disagree. I think I have impeccable timing. Just in time to witness the truth spilling out, right, José?” He took a step closer, his eyes never leaving the prisoner, who was trembling, barely holding himself together. José could only whimper in response, his body wracked with pain, his broken hand cradled against his chest. Leonardo’s patience was wearing thin. He needed to get to the bottom of this, alone. And while he wasn’t averse to using violence, he preferred it to be purposeful, not gratuitous. Unlike Rob or Ricardo. “José,” Ricardo said, gaining the man’s attention. “
The Reluctant Mafia Bride DOPAMINE HITS
“What do you mean I can’t get a meeting with him?” Lima’s voice was sharp, almost a snarl, as she hurled her glass at the mirror. The glass shattered on impact, fragments scattering across the floor like the pieces of her temper. She hadn’t lost control like this in a long time, but the Don was pushing her to the edge. Rupert stood beside her, tense but silent, carefully measuring his next move. He knew better than to speak when Lima was like this, aware that anything he said could set her off even more. “Try harder or I’ll show up with men and guns blazing”, she said and ended the call. Sighing, she ran her hands through her curly hair. “Get me another glass of wine, Rupert. And send in a maid to clean this mess up”, she said, referring to the broken glass and mirror. “Yes, mistress”, he said and stepped out. Lima caught a glimpse of herself in the shattered fragments of the mirror. The jagged edges reflected a distorted image, but the woman staring back at her was unmist
