Chapter: Chapter 179 - Feels RightThe morning light crept through the curtains, golden and soft, casting streaks across the tangled sheets. The rain had stopped sometime before dawn, leaving only the soft crackle of the dying fire and the rhythm of their breathing. Luna stirred first, her body deliciously sore, her skin still humming with the memory of Adrian’s touch.She felt the warmth of him behind her before she turned, his arm heavy around her waist, his breath slow against the curve of her neck. The faint scratch of his stubble brushed her skin as he murmured, half-asleep, “you’re not thinking of leaving this bed, are you?”Luna laughed, eyes fluttering open. “I was thinking about coffee.”“Coffee can wait,” he whispered, pulling her closer, his lips brushing her shoulder. “You, however, can’t.”His hand slid down her thigh, fingers tracing lazy, possessive patterns that made her body react instantly. Her breath caught, and she turned in his arms, facing him. The sight of Adrian Cross in the morning with his tou

Chapter: Chapter 178 - No Going Back The cabin was quiet except for the rain hammering the windows and the soft crackle of the fire. Luna leaned back against the plush rug, the warmth from the flames kissing her skin, but it was nothing compared to the heat radiating from Adrian. He stood close, the shadow of him stretching long and dark across the room, every movement deliberate, predatory, and intoxicating.He reached for her, brushing a strand of wet hair from her face. “You’ve been teasing me all day,” he murmured, voice low, velvet-dark, “and now, I plan to have you.”Her pulse jumped at the tone, a mixture of command and promise, and she swallowed hard and whispered, "let's see."Adrian smirked, that familiar dangerous curve of his lips that always made her knees go weak. “Not like that,” he said, voice rough. “Not with words. I want to feel, see and taste every inch of you.”He lowered himself to his knees, eyes dark and hungry, hands sliding along her thighs in a trail of fire. Luna gasped, body arching instincti

Chapter: Chapter 177 - Rain And FireThe hum of the jet’s engines filled the cabin, steady and unrelenting. Outside, clouds streaked by like molten silver, a quiet storm beneath them. Inside, Luna leaned back against the plush leather seat, her fingers intertwined with Adrian’s, but this wasn’t the calculated tension of strategy or survival, it was something else entirely, it was raw and filled with electricity.Adrian’s gaze was fixed on the horizon outside the tinted windows, but Luna could feel it on her, heavy and possessive, the kind of heat that made her pulse stutter. His thumb brushed across the back of her hand, slow, deliberate.“Quiet for a reason?” she murmured, voice low, teasing, catching him off guard.He smirked without turning. “Always. The quiet makes the anticipation sharper.”Her stomach fluttered. She had learned that with Adrian, anticipation wasn’t just a moment, it was a slow burn, a game of control and surrender, and she was ready to play.The jet tilted slightly as they leveled out, and he final

Chapter: Chapter 176 - Total Erasure“Hell doesn’t burn, it waits.”The city glittered, unaware of the storm about to tear through it again.Luna sat beside Adrian, her fingers laced with his, but the tension between them wasn’t about closeness. It was control. They were both holding on, in different ways.“Veronica Hale,” she murmured. The name alone felt toxic. “You think she’s running Orion from prison?”Adrian didn’t answer immediately. His jaw flexed, gaze fixed on the encrypted tablet glowing in his lap. “Not running it,” he said finally, “directing it. Orion doesn’t need her hands, it just needs her voice, and she’s still got connections deep enough to make the government sweat.”He tapped a screen. A holographic layout appeared between them, Vega’s old network. Dozens of nodes pulsing red. “Half of these came online in the last forty-eight hours,” he continued. “Coordinated through servers that shouldn’t exist. Someone’s funding her from the inside.”Luna frowned. “But who’d risk helping her?”“People who still b

Chapter: Chapter 175 - Fall Sold Headlines The next morning, Adrian didn’t wake to Luna’s voice or the faint hum of the city. He woke to silence, the kind that felt deliberate. He lay still for a moment, eyes half-open, tracking the shadows shifting across the penthouse ceiling. Then the vibration came again. Same encrypted ping. Same sender, Orion.He slid out of bed carefully, not wanting to wake Luna. She lay tangled in the sheets, her breathing even, face soft. The storm had finally quieted for her. For him, it had only changed shape.He moved into his office, the one room that felt less like home and more like command. The city glared through the glass walls, morning light slicing across his desk as he opened the terminal.The message replayed: “Project Aegis – Directive 9.”Below it, a single line: Every empire has its architect. Time to meet yours.Adrian’s jaw tightened. Aegis wasn’t just a project. It was his project, a covert network he’d designed years ago to protect artists from blackmail and media sabotage. Before

It still smelled faintly of him, dark cedar and control. The scent anchored her in a world that still felt unsteady beneath her feet.Adrian stood by the windows, phone pressed to his ear, his tone coldly efficient.“Seal the media contracts. She doesn’t speak to anyone unless it’s cleared through me,” he said sharply, “and make sure the footage of Vega’s confession doesn’t leak unedited. No one turns this into another spectacle.”He hung up and turned, his sharp edges softening when he looked at her. “It’s over, Luna.”She looked up at him, the

Owned By The Don
Raven Knight is a journalist who lives for the truth, even when it comes wrapped in danger.
When her latest investigation leads her to Club Eden, the notorious upscale strip club tied to underground crime, she goes undercover, armed with nothing but fake credentials and a steel spine. Her goal? Expose Jaxon Morreau, the billionaire Don said to be behind a global criminal empire.
But nothing could prepare her for Jaxon himself.
Jaxon Morreau rules with silence, dominance, and control. He built Club Eden as a front, but it became his kingdom. Cold, calculating, and feared by all, Jaxon doesn’t make mistakes… until he spots the one woman who dares defy him. Raven is a threat. She’s also magnetic. Instead of exposing her, he pulls her closer, offering her protection, power, and submission.
Their chemistry is fire. Their secrets, fatal.
As Raven falls deeper into Jaxon’s world, and into his bed, lines blur between truth and desire. Their relationship burns hot, twisted with bondage, dominance, and a hunger neither of them can ignore. But when Raven’s best friend is kidnapped, and a child is planted to destroy them, the darkness inside Jaxon threatens to consume them both.
Worse, Jaxon’s younger brother, Zane, isn’t just jealous, he’s obsessed. Zane doesn’t want to share Raven. He wants to own her.
In a world where loyalty is blood and betrayal is deadly, love may be the riskiest game of all.
Owned by the Don is a 150-chapter epic of passion, vengeance, possession, and submission. Perfect for fans of dark romance, mafia empires, and BDSM stories that mix power with heart.

Chapter: Chapter 135 - She Said Complications The villa’s flames clawed at the night, smoke spiraling into the sky like black banners of war. The structure, once a monument to Evelyn’s meticulous control, now crumbled into chaos. Jaxon and Raven remained at the edge of the gravel drive, silhouettes against the glow of fire and ash.“She’s alive,” Jaxon muttered, his jaw tight, eyes fixed on the collapsing villa. “She always survives.”Raven’s hand closed around the drive in her coat pocket. “Then we make sure this time she doesn’t.”A sharp vibration cut through the tense night air. Raven’s phone. An encrypted call flashed across the screen.“Evelyn,” she whispered.Jaxon’s eyes darkened, and he leaned closer. “Take it.”Raven swiped to answer. Evelyn’s voice slithered through the speaker, silken, smooth, yet laced with menace.“Well, well… my sons and the whore,” Evelyn purred. “Did you enjoy my little fireworks show?”Jaxon’s expression remained unreadable, his hands clenched at his sides.“I trust you realize the villa was a d

The skyline glimmered beyond him, gold spilling through the fractured glass of a war that hadn’t yet ended.“Matteo, confirm the intel.”Static hissed briefly before the man’s voice came through. “Intercepted three coded transmissions. Evelyn initiated a meeting with Zane. Private estate in the Hamptons. Restricted clearance, full lockdown protocols. The kind she used for succession hearings.”Jaxon’s jaw flexed. “She’s moving early.”“Or scared,” Matteo replied. “You burned half her empire last night. She’s cutting her losses.”“Not losses,” Jaxon muttered. “Liabilities.”He ended the call and turned toward Raven. She sat on the edge of his desk, her hair unbound, eyes shadowed from a night without rest. The screens behind

Chapter: Chapter 133 - I'll Be Damned The city breathed differently that night.A low hum of electricity vibrated through the underbelly of New York, signals, encrypted codes, and orders hidden beneath the noise of normal life. For weeks, quiet movements had replaced open warfare. Now, those movements converged.A small newsroom on the Upper East Side glowed with the dim light of a single monitor. The journalist typing inside believed she was communicating with a source named Raye Kincaid. She was absolutely clueless as to who Raye Kincaid really was. The data came in waves, offshore ledgers, shipment manifests, transaction histories spanning three continents. Evelyn Morreau’s name appeared like a curse in the fine print, buried behind shell companies and aliases, now dragged into the light.Each file uploaded triggered a ripple across the digital map: hidden accounts froze, holding companies halted, funds locked in international limbo. The leak spread through secure channels, reaching regulators, watchdogs, and eventual

Chapter: Chapter 132 - Eating Each Other Alive The snow hadn’t stopped falling, though it carried ash now, fine gray dust from the burning docks that clung to the air like memory. The warehouse still hissed and cracked behind them, fire eating through metal, but Jaxon’s focus was locked on the faint noise ahead, a groan, ragged and human.He moved first, weapon raised, every line of his body sharp with readiness. Raven followed, the wind clawing at her coat, heartbeat hammering against her ribs. The sound came again, closer this time, from behind a half-collapsed freight container.“Matteo!” Jaxon’s voice cut through the static air.A muffled cough answered. Then a shape lurched into view, Matteo, blood streaking down the side of his face, one arm slung around Viktor’s shoulders. Both were limping, half-burned, half-frozen, but alive.“Don…” Matteo rasped, voice shaking. “We thought...”“Save it,” Jaxon said, lowering his gun, his tone edged with controlled relief. “You’re late.”Viktor managed a broken laugh. “We were… invited to

Chapter: Chapter 131 - Struck A NerveThe world outside Geneva burned quietly, as if the city itself was trying to hide the war crawling under its skin. Snowflakes fell through the smoke, catching on broken glass and twisted steel. The explosion at the Morreau Foundation had made the headlines, all but the truth, the bodies, the betrayal, was already buried beneath money and silence.Inside the safehouse, Raven’s reflection trembled in the windowpane. Her hair was still streaked with ash, her hands faintly shaking. She could taste the acrid bite of cordite and lies on her tongue. Behind her, Jaxon moved through the dim light like a shadow still learning how to be human again.He’d stripped out of his blood-streaked suit, trading it for black cargo and the gun he never set down. The wound on his shoulder was reopened, a dark bloom under the bandage, but he didn’t slow. Men like him didn’t bleed, they calculated.Matteo and Viktor had left an hour ago to track their remaining contacts in Zurich. Now it was just the two of t

Glass towers stood untouched, the harbor calm again, as if the sea hadn’t burned red hours ago.From the penthouse window, Raven stared at the skyline, a lie dressed in gold light. The world below didn’t know how close it had come to ruin. Smoke still clung to her hair, the scent of fire and fear buried in her skin.Behind her, Jaxon peeled off his bloodstained shirt and dropped it onto the marble. His muscles were corded tight, movements sharp, deliberate. The bandage across his shoulder glowed white against his skin. He looked like a fallen god, wounded, furious, untouchable.Raven leaned against the glass, voice low. “We made it back, but it doesn’t feel like surviving.”Jaxon poured whiskey into a crystal glass, ignoring the tremor in his hand. “Survival isn’t supposed to feel good.”She turned toward him. “You’re bleeding through your bandage.”He glanced down, smirked faintly. “So are you.”Her lips curved. “Mine’s not

Chapter: Epilogue - Sanchiano-Morelli Legacy Two years later.The first rays of dawn cut across the Tangier skyline, gilding the fortified Sanchiano villa with a light so sharp it seemed to carve the world into clarity. Talana stood at the highest balcony, wind whipping her dark hair across her face. The ocean stretched endlessly before her, a living mirror of possibility and peril. Two years had passed since the chaos of Project Lazarus and the final battles that had rewritten the map of global crime and power. Yet here she was, unbroken, unbowed, a living testament to survival and control.She ran her fingers across the balcony’s cold iron railing, feeling the smooth burn of the paint beneath her palm. Her mind wandered briefly, not to revenge, not to war, but to what they had created. Empire was not just property, wealth, or influence, it was trust, loyalty, and a network strong enough to resist betrayal, and the Sanchiano-Morelli line was now intertwined like never before.Massimo approached sile

From the balcony of a low, fortified villa, Talana leaned against the stone railing, the wind tugging at her hair. Below, the markets hummed with life, the scent of spices, sea salt, and bread mingling in the morning air. For the first time in over a decade, she felt something like peace, not the hollow calm after a storm, but the quiet of a life reclaimed.Massimo emerged from the study behind her, dressed in crisp linen, the kind that spoke of leisure rather than war. His presence was a tether, grounding her to the moment.“You’re staring at the horizon like we own it,” he said, sliding his hands around her waist.Talana leaned back against him, her hand resting over the subtle swell of her belly. “We do,” she said softly. “In a way, we really do.”Massimo chuckled, resting his chin atop her head. “And in another way, we still have more

Reporters shouted her name, microphones shoved forward like daggers. The air was electric with both adoration and venom.She stepped out slowly, black sunglasses hiding the burn scars still healing along her cheek. Her body ached with each movement, ribs strapped tight, shoulder bound, but she moved like steel anyway. A living symbol. A woman who had walked through fire and crawled out still breathing.Massimo’s hand hovered at her lower back, close enough to catch her if she faltered, but careful not to overshadow her presence. Lorenzo flanked her other side, his predator’s eyes sweeping the crowd for the slightest twitch, the smallest threat. Mariano and Sanchiano men formed a wall of muscle behind them.The press screamed questions:“Dona Fabrizio, are you afraid for your life?”“Do you

The contrast felt obscene, almost mocking, the sweetness of beauty against the charred remnants of her skin. She lay propped against crisp hospital sheets, her dark hair tangled and scorched at the ends, the right side of her face swathed in gauze that peeked blood at the edges.Massimo had not left her side. Not once. He sat slouched in a steel chair, his black shirt ripped open at the collar, eyes bloodshot but burning with something primal, rage, fear, love all braided into one rope wound so tight it looked ready to strangle him. His hand clutched hers, thumb stroking her knuckles as if the act alone could tether her to this world.“Don’t fucking move again like that,” he rasped, his voice broken gravel. “Don’t you ever, ever, throw yourself into the fire for me.

It was meant to consume.Her thighs locked around his waist as he lifted her, slamming her back against the nearest wall. The picture frames rattled; the plaster cracked.
