A Mafia’s Trillionaire for Christmas /Prettyvillan
MY LUCKY DAY ~LAUREN’S POV~I stood there, scrambling for a decent explanation, something that would make sense of why I had bodyguards in the office and why Antonio had Patrick pinned to the ground like a scene from an action movie.Maybe I could pretend to be sorry. I didn’t want to get fired, not after working so hard to get this job in the first place.I wasn’t even close to my dream yet. I wanted to be a world-renowned journalist, not some background extra doing cover-ups no one cared about.Vanessa said she didn’t mind, as long as she got paid. But I wasn’t like her.I wanted recognition. I wanted my name splashed across the front page, not buried in the credits.And now Patrick, again, was ruining my life without even trying.“Miss McQueen.”I looked up. Chloe stood there, arms folded, staring at me like I was a puzzle she didn’t feel like solving. Her eyes dragged over me, and suddenly the air felt too thin.“Daydreaming, are we?” she asked.“Huh? No, I was just… I’m sorry a

BEST/WORST TUESDAY EVER ~LAUREN’S POV~The elevator dinged, and I stepped out into the hallway, the buzz of the office hitting me like a wave. People were pretending to work, but everyone was distracted, phones half down, ears perked up. It wasn’t every day Rosette and Patrick caused a whole soap opera episode in the middle of a Tuesday.Vanessa spotted me the second I rounded the corner.“There you are,” she said, grabbing her coffee and standing up. “I just saw Rosette and Patrick storm past reception looking like they’d swallowed a beehive. What the hell happened?”I dropped into the chair at her desk. “It’s a long story.”“I’ve got time,” she grinned, sipping her drink. “Spill.”I gave her the highlights, Chloe grilling me, Rosette’s dramatic attempts at sabotage, Patrick being his usual condescending self, and Chloe completely flipping the script on them both.Vanessa blinked. “So... let me get this straight. You walked in there to probably get fired, and somehow walked out wit

VULNERABLE ~ALEXANDRO POV~I was becoming weak.Too weak, because I couldn’t move. Every part of me wanted to pull the gun tucked under my seat and put a bullet straight through that motherfucker’s skull.I didn’t care that we were in public. The fact that he dared to put his lips on what was mine made him a threat.Antonio stood silently behind Lauren, who had frozen like she was waiting for an order. It was on the tip of my tongue, all I had to say was:“End him. In the most painful way possible.”But I didn’t. Mario was right. I was becoming soft. A fucking coward. And do I like it? No. No, I fucking hate it. It’s eating me alive.I signaled Antonio with a slight nod. ‘Follow him. Handle it.’ I knew the guy was in trouble the moment I spotted him inside Julian’s office.Anything connected to Julian always spelled danger. This one needed to be dealt with, fast.“Hey,” Lauren said, her voice nervous as she stepped in front of me.I frowned, looking down at her. “Get in,” I said co

DEVOTION.~ALEXANDRO’S POV~Lauren kicked off her shoes, “I still can’t believe you didn’t shoot him,” she said, pulling her hair out of its clip. “Or at least punch him.”I turned to her slowly. “Don’t tempt me. I’m still considering both.”She laughed softly, then walked past me into the kitchen like she’d always belonged here. I followed her, watching how comfortably she moved, how she opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water like this was hers.Maybe it was. Maybe that’s what scared me the most. “I want to take a shower,” she said, glancing back at me.“Use mine,” I replied. “You know where it is.”She disappeared down the hall, and I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. I poured myself a glass of whiskey and stared out the window, city lights twinkling like stars below.My mind was still racing. The stolen shipments. Ethan. Julian’s name stayed in the air like smoke I couldn’t shake off.Trouble was circling. And she, Lauren, was standing dead in the center of it

SCANDALOUS MORNING ~LAUREN’S POV~My body still ached in the best way. Last night with Alexandro was... memorable.I’d been nervous, it was my first time with him. But God, it was everything. The way he touched me, the way he owned me... I still had flashes of it when I closed my eyes. My body reacted like it was happening all over again.I was so lost in thought, that I barely noticed the elevator doors ding open.Antonio wasn’t around today, but Luca stood close behind me, unusually quiet. He said Antonio had something important to handle.I prayed it wasn’t what I was thinking.“Good morning, beautiful.”That voice. I turned quickly, and there he was. Ethan. Alive. Standing. Smiling.“You’re here,” I breathed, shocked. I shot a glance at Luca, whose jaw tightened as he glared at Ethan like he wanted to put him through the nearest wall.Ethan’s smile didn’t waver. “Where else would I be?”The elevator slid open. He stepped inside first, cool and calm, his eyes lingering on me like
