All Chapters of CEO'S AFFAIR: MAFIA'S OBSESSION: Chapter 21 - Chapter 27

Chapter 22 Izzy’s heart pounded in her chest as she stumbled alongside Dante, her body still shaking from the encounter. The adrenaline was wearing off, and the cold reality of what had just happened was starting to sink in. She couldn’t breathe. The fear, the panic—it felt suffocating. She needed answers, needed to understand what was happening before the ground beneath her completely gave way. Dante moved swiftly, his every step deliberate, his expression hard and focused, like a man who had long since accepted that danger and violence were simply part of the world he controlled. He didn’t look at her as they walked down the quiet, dimly lit hallway of the hospital. His eyes were locked straight ahead, his jaw set in a way that told her he was calculating his next move, planning how to neutralize any threats that dared cross him.

The sharp edges of the skyline seemed to pierce the night, just as the weight of Dante’s request was piercing through his thoughts. He leaned back in his chair, hands folded, the phone still warm from the call. The silence around him was deafening, broken only by the soft hum of his computer and the distant sounds of the city below. He knew Dante. Knew him well. Knew the lengths he would go to when something—or someone—was important to him. The kind of power Dante wielded, the ruthlessness, the ability to make the impossible happen, was something Rafael had seen firsthand. But this? This was different. A child. Maya. Rafael’s mind flashed to the moment Dante had spoken those words: "Find me a heart. A match for a child, age five. It’s urgent."
