All Chapters of Claimed by the ruthless Mafia Lord: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Alex’s POVThe beginning of the week should have felt like a fresh start. Instead, my mind was weighed down with the unresolved situation surrounding Raymond. As I straightened my tie and prepared to leave for work, I told myself I had to stay one step ahead of him for Kelly’s sake and my own.I grabbed my briefcase and was halfway to the door when the unmistakable sound of heels clicking on the staircase drew my attention. I turned, and there she was, Kelly, descending the steps with a grace that could silence the world.She looked stunning. Her white dress was a masterpiece, fitted at the waist and flaring just slightly above her knees. The delicate lace details shimmered faintly in the morning sunlight, while the plunging neckline walked the perfect line between bold and elegant. Her nude stilettos added inches to her already statuesque figure, and she carried a sleek silver clutch that completed the look.Her hair was styled in soft waves that framed her face perfectly, and her ma

Kelly’s POVAlex returned home that evening looking every bit the composed man I admired. But something was off. I could see it in the slight rigidity of his posture and the tight set of his jaw. He carried himself like everything was fine, yet his eyes betrayed a storm beneath the surface.I didn’t press him. Not yet. Alex was the kind of man who needed time to unwind and sort through his thoughts before he could share them. Instead, I greeted him with a warm smile and a kiss on the cheek, pretending not to notice his distracted responses.“How was work?”“Exhausting,” he replied, his voice gruff.“Well, you’re home now. That’s all that matters.”I kept my tone light and cheerful, hoping to ease some of the tension in his shoulders. He gave me a small smile in return, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes.Dinner was quiet. Alex barely touched his food, and when I asked if he wanted more, he shook his head. The man who usually indulged in conversations with enthusiasm seemed preoccupied

Alex's POVThe text lingered on my screen, the blurry picture coming into focus as I zoomed in. Holly. Of all people. My mind raced, trying to piece together the connection between her and Raymond. It didn’t make sense unless, of course, she was playing her own game in this twisted mess; this little child does not know the kind of world she's trying so hard to be part of.Without wasting another second, I dialed Finn’s number. He picked up on the first ring.“Boss?” he answered, his tone sharp and ready.“You’ve got eyes on him?I just got reports from Shadow; did you also get it?” I asked, my voice low to avoid waking Kelly, who was still sleeping beside me.“Yes, I did. I guess I'm not so surprised that Holly or Gina was behind this anyways,” Finn replied. “And you’re not going to like what I have to say, trust me.”“Try me,” I said, steeling myself.“Holly’s still with him,” Finn said. “She’s not just visiting either. She’s taken care of him, cleaned him up, made him food, the whole

Alex's POVThe night was finally here. The Riviera Hall stood proud and resplendent, bathed in the soft golden glow of fairy lights strung along the perimeter. A crimson carpet stretched from the entrance to the grand double doors, flanked by elegant floral arrangements that mirrored the theme: black and gold. The air buzzed with excitement, laughter, and the faint notes of classical music floating from the live band warming up inside.I stood outside the hall, adjusting the cuffs of my tailored black tuxedo with gold accents, feeling both anticipation and pride. Tonight wasn’t just about celebrating my love for Kelly, it was also a showcase of our ability to pull off something magnificent together I know it hasn't been so long I've known her, but no woman has ever locked me down like she does, her soul and love makes my heartless soul beat and pant after her. Daniela had outdone herself with the organization, and I made a mental note to double her bonus.A tap on my shoulder pulled m

Kelly’s POVFrom the moment they grabbed me, I fought with every ounce of strength I had. My heart pounded like a war drum, adrenaline coursing through my veins as I thrashed and kicked against their unrelenting grip. Desperation clawed at me, each scream tearing from my throat with raw intensity. But the silky material of my dress, once a symbol of elegance, betrayed me, clinging to my skin and restricting my movements. Every step I tried to take became a stumble, the fabric twisting around my legs like a vice. Is this the world Alex has always tried to protect me from?.Before I could find my footing, a rough hand yanked me back with such force that I gasped, the air rushing out of my lungs. "Let me go!" I screamed, the words echoing into the night like a desperate prayer, I was scared, my strength wavering.One of the men snorted, his tone dripping with amusement. "Feisty, isn’t she?" I barely had time to process his mocking words before a sharp slap cracked across my face, sen
