The lost Mafia princess chapter 28
Ryan’s fists clenched as he stood outside the large, ornate gates of the school. The air in Europe was colder than he expected, the sky a dull gray overhead, but that wasn’t what bothered him. It was the idea of being here at all—away from his father, his brothers, and more than anything, away from Elizabeth.He hated this place already. The grand old buildings, the well-dressed students milling around, speaking languages he barely understood. His grandparents thought this was a good idea, but they didn’t understand. No one did. He wasn’t here because he wanted to be. He was here because his father couldn’t handle the mess his sister had made.His jaw tightened as he shoved his hands deeper into his jacket pockets, walking towards the entrance of the school. His steps felt heavy, each one filled with frustration that simmered just below the surface. He hadn’t spoken much since arriving at his grandparents' house. There wasn’t anything to say, really. They tried to make him comfortable

Zack sat on the couch, staring at nothing in particular. His thoughts were a tangled mess, circling back to the same question he had been asking himself for weeks: Where was Elizabeth?Leo sat across from him, flipping through a newspaper absentmindedly. Both brothers had been tiptoeing around the subject of their sister ever since she disappeared, but the tension was growing harder to ignore. Their father was in the hospital, Ryan was sent away to Europe, and the weight of everything happening around them was crushing.Zack leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, and finally broke the silence.“Maybe we can ask Uncle Nick for help,” Zack said suddenly, his voice hesitant but filled with a tinge of desperation.Leo’s head snapped up, his expression immediately darkening. He lowered the newspaper onto his lap, looking at Zack with a frown.“Uncle Nick?” Leo repeated, his voice heavy with disbelief. “You think *he* Would you help us? The same man who hates Elizabeth with passi

The old, run-down estate was a far cry from the lavish mansions of their father’s business partners. Hidden away in the outskirts of town, it was the kind of place that seemed forgotten by time. The lawn was overgrown, the paint peeling from the shutters, and the heavy, rusted gate creaked as Zack pushed it open. He exchanged a glance with Leo, who looked just as uneasy as he felt.“I can’t believe we’re actually doing this,” Leo muttered under his breath.Zack shrugged, though his stomach was tied in knots. They had both known this visit wouldn’t be easy, but it was the only option left. Their uncle, Nicholas Moretti—Uncle Nick, as they had begrudgingly called him when they were kids—was their last chance to find Elizabeth. Zack hated the idea of asking him for help, but desperation had a way of making you do things you never thought you’d do.The brothers walked up to the front door, their steps heavy with dread. Zack reached out and knocked, the sound echoing through the eerily

Sophia sat by the window, staring out at the sky. The cool night breeze filtered through the slightly cracked window, and the stars seemed to mock her from above, twinkling in a way that felt both distant and cruel. She couldn’t tell if it was hope or sorrow swirling in her chest as she looked up, but either way, it weighed heavily on her heart.It had been days—weeks, maybe—since she’d been taken, forced into this new identity. Her white hair and blue eyes felt like a stranger’s reflection in the mirror. It was as if every part of the girl she used to be had been stripped away, leaving behind only the hollow shell of someone she didn’t recognize.“Sophia,” she whispered to herself, tasting the name like ash in her mouth. That’s who she was now, wasn’t it? The lost Mafia princess had been buried under layers of disguises, lies, and fear. But inside, deep down, she was still Elizabeth. She had to be.The man in the mask had told her again and again that no one was coming. That her bro

The pale morning light filtered through the heavy curtains, casting a soft glow across the room. Sophia, woke up from her sleep, the sheets rustling softly as she pushed them aside.The mansion was always eerily quiet at this hour, and today was no different. But something inside her, a strange restlessness, urged her to get out of bed and explore.Since her arrival, the place had been a fortress of secrets. No one talked to her unless absolutely necessary, and everyone wore masks. It was unsettling, yet there was something about the silence that had become almost comforting. Still, today, she wanted more than the four walls of her room. She wanted to see the mansion beyond what little glimpses she had caught.She slipped out of bed, padding barefoot across the cool marble floor. She opened the door quietly, half-expecting to see someone standing guard outside, but to her surprise, the hallway was empty. Her curiosity piqued, she stepped out and began walking, her footsteps soft and

The soft ticking of the clock was the only sound that had filled her room for hours. Sophia sat quietly on the bed, her thoughts swirling in an endless loop. Ever since her walk through the mansion earlier, her mind had been restless. Something had shifted within her, though she couldn’t quite place what it was. Maybe it was the memory of seeing the men without their masks, relaxed and unconcerned. Or maybe it was the fact that Mr. Black wasn’t around today. She leaned back against the wall, her gaze fixed on the ceiling. Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the hallways. It was subtle at first, but it grew louder with every passing second, more frantic. The shift in the mansion’s atmosphere was palpable—something was happening.Sophia sat up, her senses suddenly alert. "What’s happening?" she thought, pushing the blanket off her legs and standing up. She moved toward the door, placing her ear against it to listen. Voices echoed from down the corridor, muffled

Leo paced the living room, his hands stuffed into his pockets, head down as he tried to make sense of everything. The air in the house felt heavy, weighed down by the tension that had hung over them ever since Elizabeth disappeared.Across the room, Zack sat slouched on the edge of the couch, his eyes focused on the ground, deep in thought. He had just hung up the phone after yet another frustrating conversation with their uncle Nick. The man had been brief, his tone sharp, leaving them both with a sense of dread.“What do we do now?” Leo finally asked, breaking the silence. His voice was low, almost resigned.Zack didn’t answer immediately. He leaned forward, rubbing his hands together as if trying to warm them from a cold that only he could feel.“Why do I have a feeling we made a bad move by adding him into this?” Leo muttered, his frustration bubbling to the surface. He stopped pacing and turned to face his brother.Zack looked up, meeting Leo’s gaze. “We didn’t have a choice,” he

Alexander’s sleep had been restless for days, disturbed by nightmares that tore through the silence of the night. Ever since Elizabeth had disappeared, his mind had been plagued with thoughts of her, of Ryan, of Zack and Leo, and the family that seemed to be crumbling around him. Each night he hoped for some semblance of peace, but tonight was no different.In the darkness of his slumber, Alexander found himself standing in the middle of a burning house. The flames roared around him, consuming the walls, the ceiling, the floor, everything. Thick, black smoke choked the air, making it hard to breathe, but it wasn’t the fire that terrified him.It was the screams.“Dad! Help me!” He turned sharply at the sound of Elizabeth’s voice, his heart clenching painfully in his chest. Her voice was full of panic, raw and desperate. He couldn’t see her through the thick, swirling smoke, but he could hear her, feel her fear as if it were his own.“Elizabeth!” he called, his voice hoarse and strain

Ryan sat in the back seat of the car, his headphones on, drowning out the world around him with the rhythm of Jayo’s "Often" pulsing through his ears. It had become his way of coping lately — losing himself in music, trying to block out the growing tension in his family. His brothers, Zack and Leo, were sitting in the front, quietly chatting about something, but he wasn’t paying much attention. All he could think about was the gnawing feeling inside him, the anger that never seemed to go away.They were supposed to have a "family day" today, without their dad, who was still recovering from his health scare. But even without him, the weight of the family’s troubles hung heavy in the air. It didn’t feel right. It didn’t feel like family. Not without Elizabeth. Not without knowing where she was, what she was going through.He turned the music up, letting the beat hit harder, hoping it would drown out the nagging thoughts. But it wasn’t working. Nothing worked anymore. His mind kept dr

Mr. Black sat alone in his study, the room dimly lit by the soft glow of a desk lamp. The walls were lined with bookshelves, but tonight, he wasn’t interested in the knowledge they held. His attention was on the mask he held in his hands. It was a simple black mask, a symbol of his authority and his way of maintaining control over his world. But tonight, it felt like a barrier between him and something he couldn’t quite grasp.He had always hidden behind this mask. It allowed him to be ruthless, to lead his men with an iron fist. But lately, it felt like it was also hiding a part of him that he didn’t fully understand. The thought of Sophia, as she was now known—had become an obsession. Her presence, her struggles, and the way she seemed to test the boundaries of his carefully constructed world had been occupying his thoughts more and more.He placed the mask on his desk and leaned back in his chair. His fingers traced the edges of the mask as if hoping to find some answers there. He

Sophia, entered her room and closed the door behind her with a quiet click. She moved slowly towards the small mirror on the wall, each step feeling like a weight pressing down on her. The day’s training had left her exhausted and bruised, both physically and emotionally. Her reflection showed a girl who no longer looked like the person she remembered. Her hair was now white, a stark contrast to her old look. She pulled up her shirt and studied the bruises that covered her stomach and arms. They were vivid and angry, a patchwork of purples and blues. The sight made her wince, and she gingerly touched a particularly large bruise just below her ribs.The pain was not just from the physical blows she’d received; it was the emotional toll that was hardest to bear. Mr. Black’s harsh words and the force of his punches had left a deep mark on her soul. She had failed to hit him back during their training, which only intensified her feelings of inadequacy. She was supposed to be learning

Sophia stood in the center of the training room, her body tense and her heart racing. The walls were cold and unforgiving, much like the man who circled her now, his sharp eyes never leaving her.Mr. Black paced around her, his footsteps echoing ominously through the room. The mask he always wore made it impossible to see his expression, but she didn’t need to. His cold, controlled voice was enough to make her feel on edge.“Let’s see if this little princess can actually fight,” he said, his voice dripping with disdain.Sophia swallowed hard, the weight of his words pressing down on her. She had never been in a fight in her life. Her world before this had been one of luxury, where she was shielded from everything dangerous. Now, she was being forced to face the reality she had always been ignorant of.“As a member of my Mafia, you’ll need to learn to protect yourself,” Mr. Black continued, his tone mocking. “You think anyone’s going to show you mercy out there? You think your enemies

The rain tapped softly against the windowpane as Ryan sat at the edge of his bed, staring out into the gray, drizzly world beyond. It had been days since he'd felt like talking to anyone, especially his grandparents, who tried their best to make him comfortable here in Europe. But no matter how hard they tried, it wasn’t home. And he wasn’t happy."Ryan, sweetheart," his grandmother’s soft voice interrupted his thoughts, pulling him back to the moment. She stood in the doorway, her expression hesitant, as if she knew the news she was about to deliver wasn’t going to go over well."Yeah?" Ryan asked, his voice flat. He barely turned to look at her, still staring out the window, watching the rain collect in tiny pools on the grass.His grandmother cleared her throat, stepping inside and sitting beside him on the bed. "Your father called. He wants you to come back home. You’ll be leaving tomorrow."Ryan’s heart lurched. Home? His mind raced through the possibilities, and the first thing
