Все главы Four Heirs Claimed On My Babies: Глава 1 - Глава 10

The ReturnI never thought I’d set foot in this city again. After everything I went through—after everything I sacrificed to keep myself and my children safe—it was the last place I ever wanted to be. But life has a twisted sense of humor. One wrong turn, one damn accident, and everything I’d been running from came crashing down around me.The sound of screeching tires still rings in my ears. It was supposed to be a quick stop on the outskirts of town, but fate had other plans. A drunk driver veered into my car at the intersection, pushing me into the spotlight. Cameras, cops, and witnesses swarmed the scene before I even realized what was happening. I could feel the walls closing in as the police officers asked for my identification, as bystanders snapped photos and filmed the aftermath with their phones. I wasn’t just another woman involved in a fender bender—I was Elena Romano, the ghost of the Romano mafia empire. And now, I was visible again.By the time I got back to the safe h

The Calm Before the StormThe air outside was thick with tension, a palpable sense of dread hanging in the cool night. I could feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins as Ryder led us into the shadows of the alley. Each step was measured, every noise amplified in the eerie silence that surrounded us. The weight of the moment pressed down on me, a reminder that the calm we were experiencing was deceptive—a mere prelude to the storm that was sure to follow.“Stay close,” Ryder instructed, glancing back at me as he led the way. I nodded, tightening my grip on Luca’s hand, our fingers entwined as if he could anchor me to this world where danger was looming just beyond our reach.The dim glow of the streetlights barely penetrated the darkness, casting long shadows that twisted and turned with the wind. It was disorienting, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were being watched. Every rustle of leaves, every distant footstep sent my heart racing, and I forced myself to breathe ste

A Mother’s BetrayalThe world tilted on its axis.My mother. The woman I had mourned, the one I had buried in my heart alongside my father’s cold corpse—was standing right in front of me. Alive. Whole. And watching.Everything inside me froze. My mind screamed at me to move, to act, to defend myself, but my body refused to respond. I could only stare, my breath caught in my throat, my heart pounding so loudly I thought it would explode.The chaos of the fight blurred around me. Dante and Ryder had engaged Lorenzo, their fists flying, while Sasha and Luca struggled to gain the upper hand. But none of it registered—not when the ghost of my mother stood before me.She took a step forward, her gaze locked on mine, and I saw it then. The cold indifference in her eyes. The hardness that had always lingered beneath the surface, now fully revealed. It was like seeing her for the first time—as she truly was.“Elena,” she said softly, her voice carrying over the chaos as though she wasn’t surr

The ChoiceSilence hung heavy in the room, thicker than the tension that crackled in the air. I could feel the eyes of everyone around me—Dante, Sasha, Luca—all of them waiting, watching for my next move. But none of it mattered. The only thing that mattered was my son, standing just inches away from a man who could take him from me forever.Lorenzo’s ultimatum echoed in my ears, and my mind raced, trying to find a way out, a loophole, something that would let me save my son without condemning everything my father had built.“Think carefully, Elena,” Lorenzo said, his voice low and dangerous. “You have one chance. Choose wisely.”I swallowed hard, my throat tight with emotion. “How do I know you’ll keep your word?” I asked, my voice shaking. “How do I know you’ll let him go if I walk away?”Lorenzo’s smile didn’t falter, but there was something darker in his eyes now. “You don’t. But that’s the risk you’ll have to take.”I clenched my fists, anger, and fear warring within me. He was t

Shadows of BetrayalThe adrenaline surged as we burst through the door, stepping into the chaos outside. The moonlight illuminated the battlefield that had erupted in front of us, revealing the unmistakable silhouettes of armed men exchanging fire. My heart raced as I scanned the area, searching for my children and hoping they were safe.“Stick close!” Luca ordered, positioning himself in front of me as we ducked behind a wall. “We need to find cover and regroup.”Bullets whizzed by us, ricocheting off the walls with deadly precision. The air was thick with tension, and I could feel my pulse quickening with every moment. I had spent five years running from this life, trying to protect my children from its dangers, and now I was thrown right back into the storm.“Who are they?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Dante glanced around, his jaw tight. “I don’t know, but they’re not with us. They’re here for Lorenzo, and we can’t let them get to him first.”“Or the kids,” Sasha adde
