Chapter: CHAPTER 80Liam’s POVI stayed outside Ava's apartment for several minutes, watching from inside my car.Sebastian helped her with the shopping bags before handing her one particular bag.Ava opened it and looked inside. Her expression softened.I didn't need to ask what it was.A for Damien.My jaw tightened.He was already buying things for my son.Sebastian said something to her, and she smiled.Something inside me burned. I tightened my grip around the steering wheel.For one second, I wanted to get out. I wanted to walk over there and tell him to stay the hell away from her.But I stopped myself.Ava wasn't mine anymore. I was the one who had ended things.So what right did I have?I watched Sebastian leave and Ava disappeared into the building.Yet I remained there.I couldn't explain why seeing her with him hurt this much.I started the engine. I didn't want to go home.I needed somewhere else to be.And there was only one person I could think of.Adrian.It was almost an hour later when

Chapter: CHAPTER 79Ava’s POVBy the time I finished work, I was already exhausted.I stepped out of Reynolds Holdings and immediately spotted Sebastian waiting beside his car.He smiled when he saw me.“Good evening, Ava.”“Good evening, Sebastian.”I walked toward him and got into the passenger seat.He got in after me, and soon the car pulled away from the company.I looked at him.“So, where are we going?”He glanced at me with a small smile.“To dinner.”“Dinner where?”“You'll see.”I raised an eyebrow.“That sounds suspicious.”He laughed.“I promise you, you'll like it.”I looked down at my clothes. I was wearing a simple pair of trousers and a blouse.Sebastian glanced at me too.“Actually, before we go to the restaurant, we're stopping at a shopping mall.”“Why?”“Because you need a dress.”I looked at him in confusion.“A dress?”“Yes. The restaurant we're going to is very exclusive. I don't think your current outfit is suitable.”I looked at myself again.“I think I'm dressed fine.”“You are,

Chapter: CHAPTER 78Liam’s POVFor the first time in a while, breakfast at the Reynolds mansion felt almost normal.I sat at the head of the table, as usual. Diana sat by my righy, Margaret and Clara was seated across each other.Diana was happily eating her breakfast and talking about everything that had happened at school the previous day.I listened to her with a small smile.“Daddy, you're not listening again.”I looked at her.“I am.”“No, you're not.”Clara laughed, “She caught you.”I shook my head. “Fine. What was I supposed to be listening to?”Diana smiled. “I want to go somewhere this weekend.”“Where?”“The zoo.”I chuckled. “We'll see.”“You always say that.”“Because you always ask for something.”She giggled before returning to her food.For a few more minutes, the conversation remained light.Then Diana finished eating.“I’m done.”Margaret glanced at the time.“You'll be late for school.”Diana quickly stood from her chair. She came around to me and wrapped her arms around my neck.“Bye,

Chapter: CHAPTER 77Ava's POVI stared at my phone long after the call ended.My hands felt cold.Dr. Miranda Kane.The same woman who had been there when I gave birth to Diana and Damien six years ago.I knew her.I remembered her face, her voice, the way she had spoken to me during the delivery. But I had never imagined that the doctor who helped bring my children into the world would one day use that same knowledge against me.My heart pounded.Then another message came in.I quickly looked down at my phone.If you tell anyone what I know, especially Liam, you will regret it. I have someone watching Damien. Don't make me hurt your son.My breath caught.No.I reread the message.Once. Twice.My hands began trembling.Damien.She was threatening Damien.I immediately thought of my son laughing, running around the house, asking endless questions, and calling me whenever he needed something.I couldn't let anything happen to him.I quickly typed a response.What do you want from me?The message showed as

Chapter: CHAPTER 76Dr. Miranda Kane's POVI have always believed that people reveal their true selves when they think no one is watching.For years, I had watched people.I had watched patients come into my office frightened and leave relieved. I had watched families cry over hospital beds. I had watched doctors celebrate successful surgeries and mourn the ones they couldn't save.And I had learned something from all of it.People were predictable when you knew what frightened them.My name is Dr. Miranda Kane.I am a physician, a woman who has spent years building a respectable career in medicine. To most people, I am nothing more than a calm and professional doctor who knows how to handle difficult situations.I have always been good at appearing calm.Even when I am not.Six years ago, my career brought me to St. Aurelia Hospital, where I handled a young woman's delivery.Her name was Ava Morales.She was young, frightened, and exhausted when she arrived that night.And she wasn't carrying one baby.

Chapter: CHAPTER 75Liam's POV"How have you been?"The question left my mouth before I could stop myself.Ava stood completely still. She looked at me as if she hadn't expected me to ask."I've been... okay," she finally answered.I studied her face and I asked against."How's work?"She blinked."It's fine."I nodded slowly and asked another question, "And you've been eating?"She gave me a confused look. "Why are you asking me all these questions?"I looked away for a second."I don't know."The truth was, I didn't know either.I had come here to bring Damien home. That was all.Yet somehow, I was standing in front of Ava asking about her life as though we hadn't spent weeks barely speaking.She lowered her eyes."I'm managing."I took another step closer."Ava..."She looked up at me."You don't have to pretend you're fine with me."She swallowed. "I'm not pretending."Neither of us spoke for a moment.Then she asked quietly, "And how was it with Damien?""He had a good time."Her face softened immed

THE BRATVA’S BRIDE
“In a world of ruthless mafia rivalries, the Italian mafia, La Famiglia De Luca, has been embroiled in a brutal five-year war with the Mexican mafia, La Mano Roja (The Red Hand).

But at a steep price: his daughter's hand in marriage to the Pakhan's ruthless grandson, the future Pakhan.
Meet Mikhail Morozov, a half-Russian, half-Cuban mafia heir with ice in his veins and blood on his hands. He rules with silence and steel, trusting no one and loving none. Raised in brutality, Mikhail believes emotions are liabilities and mercy is weakness.

With a quick wit and sharp mind, she navigates the complex world of the De Luca famiglia with confidence and poise. When the Pakhan chooses Donatella as the bride, a complex web of loyalty, power, and forbidden love is set in motion.

SINFUL LOVE
Aurora Rossi never expected her quiet life to change overnight. When her mother, Elizabeth, announces she is marrying Marcelo Falconeri, one of the richest and most feared men in the city, Aurora steps into a world she never asked for.
The Falconeri name is built on money, crime, and fear. People say their fortune is dirty, their power untouchable. Aurora tries to stay calm, but the whispers follow her everywhere.
She has heard of Marcelo’s son, Ricardo. The heir. Ruthless. Always away, always hidden behind work. She never saw him, only stories about how cold he is.
Until the wedding day.
One look is enough. Ricardo is older, dangerous, and nothing like she imagined. His eyes find hers across the room, and Aurora feels it in her chest. He is her step brother. He is temptation.
And now she is trapped in his world.

Chapter: CHAPTER 16: RICARDO’S POV RICARDO’S POVThe week crawls by like a test I never agreed to take.My father’s words still echo in my head.You’ll escort Valentina to the Falconeri Gala. No arguments.So here I am, in a perfectly pressed suit, waiting for a woman I don’t want beside me.She walks down the stairs like she’s descending a runway, perfume thick enough to choke the air.“Don’t you look handsome,” she purrs. “Almost like you’re excited to see me.”“Don’t flatter yourself,” I mutter, adjusting my cufflinks.She laughs, looping her arm through mine before I can move. “Relax, Ricky. It’s just one night.”Yeah. One night too long.Matteo spots me from across the hall, his smirk all teeth.He leans close as we walk out. “Still pretending you don’t care?”“About what?” I snap.He raises a brow. “About who, you mean.”I glare at him. “Drop it.”He doesn’t. “You know your father’s not stupid. He’s watching. So whatever you’re doing with her—”“I’m not doing anything.”He laughs under his breath. “You keep tel

Chapter: CHAPTER 15: AURORA’S POVThe next morning feels heavier than usual.The house is quiet, but not peaceful — the kind of silence that hides tension beneath it.I sit at the breakfast table, staring at the untouched cup of coffee in front of me.Maria moves around the kitchen like always, humming under her breath, but even that feels forced. She keeps glancing toward the hallway like she’s expecting someone to walk in.He doesn’t.Ricardo hasn’t shown up. Not a word. Not even a message.I scroll through my phone again, pretending I’m checking the time. Nothing.Elena texts me some random meme about school drama, Chiara asks if I’m coming to class, but the one name I want to see isn’t there.I can still feel him , his touch, his breath, the way his voice went soft when he said my name. It’s like it’s imprinted under my skin. And now… nothing. Like he vanished.Maria clears her throat softly. “Miss Aurora? Should I bring your plate?”I blink. “No, I’m fine. I’m not really hungry.”She hesitates before nodding. “Mr

Chapter: CHAPTER 14: AURORA’S POV The morning light hits different after a night like that.Soft. Golden. Quiet.Almost like the universe is pretending nothing happened.I blink awake to the sound of my alarm, my body still humming with the memory of him. My sheets smell faintly like cologne and something wilder…Ricardo.For a moment, I lie still, staring at the ceiling.Did I dream it?His hands. His voice. The way he whispered my name like it was a sin he wanted to keep repeating.No. I didn’t dream it.He was here.My heart stutters just thinking about it.He came through the window like some kind of trouble I couldn’t resist. Said nothing for a while—just looked at me with those dark eyes, as if I belonged to him. And I didn’t stop him.I should’ve. I didn’t.Now, the memory burns under my skin, impossible to scrub off.The door creaks open suddenly, snapping me back to reality.Maria, the housemaid, pokes her head in. “Miss Aurora? Breakfast is ready.”I sit up quickly, pulling the blanket up to my chest. “I’ll b

Chapter: CHAPTER 13 : RICARDO POV The text leaves my phone before I can stop myself.Look out your window.I don’t know what I expect. Maybe nothing. Maybe everything. But when her light flickers on a few seconds later and I see her shadow move behind the curtain, it’s like every thought I’ve tried to bury claws its way back up.She pulls the curtain aside, and our eyes lock through the glass. Her face is soft, sleepy, confused and still, she looks like the only thing that’s real.“Aurora,” I whisper, barely audible. She shakes her head slowly, mouthing, What are you doing here?I motion for her to open the window. For a heartbeat, she hesitates. Then, with trembling hands, she unlatches it. The sound of the frame sliding open feels louder than it should.“What are you—Ricardo, you can’t be here,” she whispers.I push myself up and climb through before she can stop me. My shoes hit the floor with a dull thud, and for a second, all I can hear is her breathing.She’s in an oversized shirt, her hair loose around her face

Chapter: CHAPTER 12 : AURORA’S POVThe sunlight cuts through my curtains before I’m ready for it. I pull the blanket higher, pretending the world doesn’t exist. My body feels heavy, like I’ve run miles in a dream I can’t escape.The memories flicker back no matter how hard I try to push them away Ricardo’s breath, his voice, his touch on my body, the way my pulse lost rhythm.I should hate him. Or at least hate myself for letting it happen.Instead, I just feel… hollow.I drag myself out of bed and into the shower, hoping the water will wash it all away. It doesn’t. The heat only brings it back the closeness, the sound of my name on his lips.I grip the edge of the sink and stare at my reflection. My eyes look different, darker. It’s like something shifted inside me last night and I can’t turn it off.“He’s your stepbrother,” I whisper. “Stop this.”My voice shakes.By the time I get to campus, I’m forcing a smile I don’t feel. Chiara waves from across the courtyard, her voice too bright for the ache in my chest.“F

Chapter: CHAPTER 11: RICARDO’S POVThree days.That’s how long Aurora had been avoiding me.Three days of cold breakfasts, quiet hallways, and a tension I could feel through the walls of the mansion.She’d stop talking when I entered a room, leave a second before I did, and never look at me long enough for it to mean anything.Tonight, that silence was ending.I stood by the doorway of her room, pretending I wasn’t waiting. We were supposed to go to Matteo’s house—some team party that his father’s staff had set up in their villa outside Palermo. Everyone would be there: Valentina, Dario, the whole loud crowd that called itself a family.And her.The door opened.For a second, I forgot how to breathe.Aurora stepped out in a short black dress that didn’t belong to any world I could protect her from. Her hair was down, soft around her shoulders, eyes lined in a way that made her look older, untouchable.“You’re staring,” she said flatly.“Can you blame me?”“You should stop.”“I’ve tried.”Her mouth tightened, but she br
