Mafia's Forbidden Desires
Valerie Thorne:
Raven Blackwood was the man I liked since I was a child, made my heart race before I even knew what love meant. But childhood ends. Innocence fades. And Raven… Well. Raven became my worst nightmare.
Even the devil would sit back and take notes from him, when it came to torture, harm, use, and kill.
His grey eyes, hypnotic, dangerous, and unforgettable, would make anyone fall in love with, but same grey eyes would make anyone feel death.
And every time they met mine, I couldn’t tell if he looked at me with the love with the depth of oceans for me, or was I another game he was playing, another pawn he planned to destroy?
Raven Blackwood:
Valerie Thorne. The girl who once was gentle, the sweetest ever I known. And now looked at me like I burned the sky.
She was the light, too soft for the world I lived in, too good for the blood on my hands. But I never claimed to be anyone good. I never promised her good things. I only ever promised her one thing. That she was mine.
Her fear didn’t surprise me. Her hate? Maybe. But it’s the way she still looked at me, like she wants to run and stay all at once.
Because no matter how many sins I had, and will carry. No matter how deep I’ve dragged her into my hell. She’s the only piece of heaven I ever wanted to keep.

Chapter: She is My WifeRaven Blackwood’s POV:“Did you?” I laughed. Was he an idiot or something who still had no idiot what was going on around him?“No. How could you be?” Francesco murmured as he took a step back.“Yes. It can be.” I nodded as I took a step towards him.“How?” His shoulders dropped, but his voice didn’t.“You shouldn’t have laid hands on My Wife, or let Ginevra do anything,” I said seriously. “This is what you get when you touch what’s mine to protect!“No,” He shook his head.“Yes,” I said firmly.“Where is Ginevra?” He asked, seemingly remembering her.“Exactly where is supposed to be,” I answered.“What did you do with her, Blackwood?” He roared.“Nothing that she did to My Wife,” I met his gaze.“You better return her,” He continued, “Safely!”I didn’t say anything. I just watched him continue speaking until he collapsed on the ground. Then, he did what he shouldn’t have done. In a split second, he snatched the gun from Dimitri’s hands and aimed at me. But my reflexes were sharper th

Chapter: How are you alive?He came running back to my office, “Yes, Padrone.”“Find out the whereabouts of Ginevra,” I ordered.“I will get to it,” He nodded and walked out of my office.Evening came. Another disaster fell on my empire. The court had sent notice of the illegal acquisition of land in the northern region. That wasn’t alone. Even the income tax department had sent a notice for incorrect data audits, and accounts mismanagement.My entire body was covered in cold sweat as I read through these documents. Just who was doing this? And why?If more, I realised, this was not the work of a random person. Someone had the power to do that. Someone had access to do that. And there were only a couple of people with this level of power.After I thought about several possibilities and my recent enmity, only one name seemed to relate correctly. Raven fucking Blackwood!Damn it. I cursed under my breath. How the hell did I forget about him? Right. He was in Italy recently. Ginevra told me she was handling his wif

Chapter: Save your threats, GabrielI watched him leave and my frown deepened. I knew Dimitri was capable. If he couldn’t access the person behind the scene so far, it meant the enemy was deeper.It was in less than five minutes when Dimitri returned. His breathing was ragged and footsteps were uneven.“What happened now?” I asked, hoping there was no more bad news.“They are here,” He said, pointing towards the outside direction.I looked in the direction, but didn’t see anyone, “Who exactly?”“The partners. All main one.” He answered, still breathing heavily. My heart dropped even further. The partners were here. And it wasn’t any good news by any means. I didn’t wait and walked out. There they were. Standing near the glass door, all my main business partners had come, all five of them. Their expressions were furious. My fists clenched. Damn it. They knew. They fucking knew. And I couldn’t hide it anymore.Still, trying to pretend all normal, I walked forward, and began, “What’s the occasion today?”They looked at me,

Chapter: You didn’t sell me out?“Where is Reign?” I asked directly.“With Amara.” He answered. “Kyle said you found her?”I nodded, “Yes. My Wife wants to see our daughter.”He nodded and stood up to walk out of his study room. Soon, he arrived at his kitchen, where he shifted his camera to show me a back view, where Vaughn was eating food, and Amara was holding a milk bottle to feed Reign.I turned to Valerie and put the screen in front of her. Valerie took the phone from me, and her eyes warmed a little.On the screen, I noticed that Amara had taken the phone from Rowan’s hands, and now the two of the stared at each other silently. I reached out and held Valerie’s hand gently.Finally, some seconds later, Amara broke the silence, “Are you alright now?”“Yes,” Valerie answered, “Has Reign been fine there?”“She is very adorable,” Amara smiled, “Now I feel like having a daughter myself.”“Your wish is my command, Crimson,” I heard Rowan’s voice from the background, on which Amara rolled her eyes and focused on Reign

Chapter: You’re it for me. Always.I remained silent He continued, “How do you plan to deal with Francesco now?”“I will take care of him,” I said plainly, not intending to reveal my plans or anything.Drake’s gaze lingered on my face for a second before he sighed heavily, “Before you do anything, remember Italy isn’t like how it was back then. Now, Francesco Russo has more power here than I do. Half of Italy owes him favours, and the other half fears him.”“Good,” I replied coldly.His brows deepened slightly. “Because I don’t intend to ask anyone’s permission before I deal with him,” My eyes sharpened as I spoke.He chuckled in a low sound, “There it is. The usual Raven Blackwood’s temper.”I didn’t bother responding to him. My patience had already run out the moment they dared their hands to lay on My Wife.Drake’s chief in command shifted his position as he spoke, “If Russo is involved, things will get way too messy.”I slowly turned to look at him, “Messy?”He nodded, “His influence extends beyond Italy.”I star

Chapter: Have you seen some people nearby?"Proceed," I ordered as I glanced around. The area around was filled with narrow trees, stones, and uneven terrain. And it was too vast to find her. But she was here. Alone. She was here in an abandoned place, all due to me. I ran a hand through my hair in frustration. I just hoped I would find her soon.From seconds to minutes to hours passed just like that. But I didn't find Valerie anywhere. The terrain got tougher. My men kept looking around to search for her, but we didn't even see any presence of any stranger here, let alone Valerie. Yet we kept going.It was almost half a day later when we found someone. Just in the middle of trees, on the left terrain, on the east side, I saw someone. He was an older man dressed in local Italian clothes. He had some goats and sheep by his side. I quietly walked to him and greeted him first before I turned to ask, "Have you seen some people nearby?"His brows raised in question. Since I was talking in Italian, it wasn't difficult for him to und
