Mafia's Captive Desire
He leaned in, inhaling her sweet scent as his hands traveled from her back to her waist, and then down to her thigh. She felt her breath hitch as she let out a small gasp.
"We shouldn't be doing this." She said, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Then tell me to stop." His voice was low, daring, as his fingers traced slow circles on her skin.
***
Lucy had always lived life on her own terms, until the night everything changed. One moment, she was free; the next, she was bound to Barry Cooper, a cold, dangerous man who ruled the underworld with an iron fist.
She never expected to be trapped in a world of power struggles, deceit, and unspoken desires. But as the lines between captor and captive blur, Lucy realizes she’s caught in a deadly game, one where trust is a luxury and survival is not guaranteed.
Will she escape the ruthless mobster who owns her… or will she become his greatest obsession?

Chapter: It Matters Barry closed the door behind him, but for a long moment, he didn’t move.He stood in the dim hallway, his hand still resting on the doorknob, staring at the floor. The soft hum of the night filled the silence, the faint ticking of the clock down the corridor, the wind brushing past the windows, the distant sound of a door creaking somewhere below.He shouldn’t have gone in there.He shouldn’t have touched her.And yet, he could still feel it, the soft warmth of her skin beneath his hand, the tiny tremor that ran through her when he’d pressed the cotton against her bruise. The look in her eyes… uncertain, but trusting. It had shaken something loose inside him that he didn’t know how to put back together.He exhaled sharply, dragging a hand over his face.He’d been through far worse things in his life, bullets, betrayals, loss, but one woman with soft eyes and quiet words was somehow testing his limits more than any of that ever had.Barry turned and began to walk, his boots soundless

Chapter: The Bruise By the time they reached Barry’s mansion, the sun was already sliding low behind the trees. The car rolled through the gates, the guards at the entrance snapping to attention. Lucy sat in the back seat beside Julia, her head resting against the window. Every muscle in her body ached.Julia yawned, stretching her arms lazily. “You did better today, Lucy. He didn’t yell at you as much.”Lucy smiled faintly. “That’s one way to measure progress.”Julia laughed. “Hey, for Barry, that’s a compliment.”As the car stopped in front of the wide steps, Lucy rubbed her wrist absently. A dull ache throbbed beneath her skin. When she rolled up her sleeve, she saw the faint purple mark blooming across the side of her arm, right where Barry had caught her.Julia’s eyes caught it instantly. “Ouch. That looks nasty.”“It’s fine,” Lucy muttered, tugging the sleeve back down. “I probably just bruised it during training.”“Or maybe when a certain someone decided to grab you like an action hero,” Julia tea

Chapter: You Didn't Fall The training ground stretched wide before them. Julia stepped forward first, stretching her arms and rolling her shoulders. “Alright,” she said, glancing back at Lucy with a grin. “Try not to fall on your face this time.”Lucy let out a breath that was half laugh, half sigh. “Thanks for the confidence.”Julia smirked. “I mean it in a loving way.”Barry’s voice cut across the space, deep and steady. “Enough talking. Let’s begin.”Lucy swallowed hard. His tone carried no emotion, but when her eyes flicked toward him, he was watching her. Just her.“Start with footwork,” he ordered. “If you can’t keep your balance, you’ll be useless in a fight.”Julia nodded and dropped into a stance, moving with confidence. Lucy tried to copy her, her boots scraping against the dirt. Her body still ached from the last session, but she pushed through it, reminding herself not to give in.Left step, right step, pivot, she stumbled slightly.Julia chuckled. “Easy there. You’re not dancing.”Lucy shot her a

Chapter: Protecting Her NEXT MORNING The first rays of sunlight slipped through the curtains, brushing against Lucy’s face. She stirred, her lashes fluttering as the warmth touched her skin. For a moment, she lay still, her chest rising and falling slowly. But then the memory of the night returned, Barry sitting at her bedside, his touch on her hand, the way his eyes had dipped to her lips.Her cheeks warmed instantly. She pressed a palm over her chest, feeling the steady thrum of her heart. So close… we were so close.Pushing the thought aside, Lucy threw the blanket off and swung her legs over the edge of the bed. The floor was cool against her bare feet. She grabbed a towel and slipped into the adjoining bath.The warm water helped wash away the remnants of her restless night. She leaned her head against the tiled wall for a moment, letting the spray beat against her back. But Barry’s voice lingered in her head, sharp at first, then soft... “Lies don’t suit you, Lucy.”By the time she stepped out, she fe

Chapter: So Close...NIGHTThe mansion was quiet, the kind of silence that stretched heavy through the halls. Outside, the wind brushed against the windows, carrying a faint rustle of trees. Everyone was asleep, or so it seemed.Lucy wasn’t.Her body twisted restlessly under the blanket, her breath coming in uneven gasps. The images replayed behind her closed eyes, dark streets, headlights flashing in the rearview mirror, the sudden gunfire splitting the air. Barry pulling her close, shielding her, his arm pressing her down as the world felt like it would break apart.“Stop…” she whimpered in her sleep, her hands clutching the sheets. Another burst of memory made her jerk, a sharp cry breaking past her lips.A maid, who had been walking quietly down the hall with folded linens, froze at the sound. Her eyes widened. The cry had come from Lucy’s room. The maid hesitated for a breath, biting her lip. She didn’t dare enter, the Don’s rules about disturbing Lucy were strict. But she couldn’t ignore it either.

Chapter: Stronger Lucy woke up late the next morning, her body heavy from a night of tossing and turning. The memory of Barry’s touch in the study still lingered in her chest, as if his fingers had branded her skin. She rubbed her face with both hands and forced herself out of bed. The house was already alive with noise, maids moving about, footsteps echoing faintly down the halls.She showered, changed into a plain black sweater and jeans, and tied her hair up in a loose ponytail. She had just sat on her bed to put on her sneakers when a knock came at her door.Lucy frowned. “Yes?”The door opened and Julia stepped in, her lips quirking into a grin. “Rise and shine, sleepyhead. You’ve been summoned.”Lucy blinked. “Summoned?”Julia leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed. “The Don wants you downstairs. We’re heading out with him.”Lucy’s heart skipped. “Again?”“Yes, again.” Julia rolled her eyes, but her smile softened. “Don’t look so nervous. It’s not your first time, remember? Just… come on. Do

Chapter: His Downfall The morning sun streamed softly through the wide glass windows of Leona’s office, painting a faint golden hue over her desk. The city below was waking up, horns, chatter, and distant footsteps, but in her office, everything was calm. Almost too calm.Leona sat behind her desk, flipping through a few reports, her pen tapping lightly against the edge of the paper. Her face was unreadable, the perfect mask of control she’d perfected over the years. But inside, her mind was steady, sharp. She knew today would be interesting.A light knock sounded at the door.“Come in,” Leona said without looking up.Dana stepped in, holding a tablet close to her chest. Her tone was careful, but her eyes carried that spark of curiosity Leona knew all too well. “Good morning, ma’am.”Leona hummed softly in response. “Morning, Dana. You found something, didn’t you?”Dana blinked, caught off guard. “You… already know?”Leona lifted her gaze finally, a hint of amusement crossing her features. “You’ve been pac

Chapter: Bad Business The elevator doors opened with a soft chime. Dorian stepped out, his polished shoes clicking against the marble floor. He looked sharp as always, but the exhaustion behind his eyes gave him away. He had spent the entire night rewriting his pitch deck, convincing himself that today would change everything.But when he entered the meeting room, the mood was already off. Three investors sat waiting, their expressions unreadable. The air smelled faintly of coffee and paper, clean, serious, and cold.“Mr. Dorian,” one of them greeted, standing to shake his hand. “We’ve reviewed your proposal. It’s impressive work.”“Thank you,” Dorian replied smoothly, forcing a smile as he took his seat. “I’m confident this partnership will benefit us both.”Mr. Greene, the oldest investor, cleared his throat and exchanged a quick look with his colleagues. “Before we continue, there’s a… matter we can’t ignore.”Dorian’s stomach sank. “What matter?”Mr. Greene tapped on his tablet and turned it toward him

Chapter: Actions Speak LouderThe day passed slower than usual.Leona’s morning had been steady, meetings, reports, calls, but her mind wasn’t entirely there. Every time she paused, her thoughts flicked back to Dorian’s face that morning, the nerve he had to show up at her company like he owned the place.She’d told him off, stood her ground, and yet… the encounter left a strange taste in her mouth. Not regret... just exhaustion.By mid-afternoon, she’d lost count of how many times she’d sighed. Dana, had noticed but wisely said nothing, just brought her coffee with quiet efficiency.Now the office was dimming. The last rays of sunlight streamed through the blinds, cutting faint golden lines across the dark wood of her desk.Leona leaned back in her chair, rubbing her temple gently. Her computer screen glowed with unread emails, but she didn’t move to answer any.Her phone sat beside her... silent.And for some reason, that silence bothered her more than she wanted to admit.She hadn’t heard from Adrian all day.

Chapter: Bitter ExThe moment Leona disappeared through the glass doors, Dorian’s jaw clenched so tightly that the muscle in his cheek ticked. He stood there for a few seconds, staring at the building like he could still see her through it, like he could still make her turn back.But she didn’t.She walked away, head high, not once glancing over her shoulder. That was what burned the most.He exhaled sharply, his hand slipping into his pocket as he turned toward his car. His shoes clicked against the pavement, his every step controlled, but his mind was anything but calm.The driver quickly opened the door, but Dorian waved him off. “I’ll drive myself,” he said flatly.The man hesitated, unsure, but nodded and stepped back.Dorian slid into the driver’s seat, slamming the door shut harder than he meant to. The moment the sound echoed through the car, he cursed under his breath and leaned back in his seat. His hands gripped the steering wheel, knuckles turning pale.For a long moment, he didn’t move. He

Chapter: Unbelievable The morning sun stretched high over the city, spilling pale light across the tall glass windows of Leona’s company. Her car slowed to a stop at the curb, the hum of the engine fading as the driver stepped out to open her door.Leona adjusted her bag on her lap, already running through the meetings she had lined up for the day. Sleep had been short, but strangely, she felt steadier. Maybe it was the riverside. Maybe it was Adrian’s words. She didn’t want to think about it too much.The car door opened, letting in the cool air of the morning. She stepped out, smoothing her palm over the strap of her bag. But the moment her heels touched the ground, her body stilled.Dorian was there.He leaned against the hood of a black car parked just meters away, arms folded over his chest, his posture casual but his eyes sharp. The sight of him here, at her company’s front steps, made her brows knit together instantly.Of all the places. Of all the ways.He straightened as soon as she looked his way

Chapter: Just Tired...The quiet wrapped around them again, soft but no longer heavy. The river kept flowing, steady as if it had all the time in the world. Leona shifted slightly on the bench, tugging Adrian’s jacket closer around her shoulders. She hated that it felt so warm, so grounding.Adrian glanced at her, the corner of his mouth lifting. “We should head back. It’s late.”Leona nodded, though she didn’t move right away. Her eyes lingered on the moonlight over the water, reluctant to leave the calm. Finally, she pushed herself up from the bench. “Yes… we should.”Adrian stood too, brushing a hand over his trousers as though shaking off the night air. For a moment, he looked like he wanted to say something more, but instead, he walked with her back toward the waiting car.The driver straightened when he saw them, quickly moving to open the back door for Leona. She paused beside it, then turned to Adrian. “Come on. I’ll have him drop you home.”Adrian shook his head lightly, a small smile tugging his l

Chasing After My Ex-Husband
Lena’s voice trembled, barely above a whisper. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have pushed you away. I...I made a mistake.”
Grayson’s cold laughter cut through the air. He stepped closer, his towering presence suffocating. “A mistake?” His tone was sharp, dangerous. “Dropping a glass is a mistake. What you did?” He leaned in, his breath brushing her ear. “That was a choice.”
Lena flinched, her chest tightening. “I didn’t know...”
“You knew exactly what you were doing.” He grabbed her chin, forcing her to meet his icy gaze. “And now you’re here, begging for something. Redemption? Love?” His lips curled into a cruel smirk. “Don’t insult me.”
“I don’t want anything from you,” she shot back, her voice faltering.
Grayson’s soft, mocking laugh made her stomach twist. “You always want something, Lena. What is it now? A second chance to ruin me?”
Her heart pounded. The man before her was no longer the one she thought she’d left behind...he was powerful, ruthless, and untouchable. And she feared she’d lost him forever.
***
Lena married Grayson for his potential, believing she could manipulate him to secure her family’s fortune. Once the deal was done, she discarded him without remorse.
But time has changed everything. Grayson has returned, no longer desperate, but a powerful man who has made it clear he wants nothing to do with her.
Regret weighs heavy on Lena, but her reasons for seeking him now remain unclear. Is it guilt? Love? Or something far more dangerous?
Grayson’s world is ruthless, offering no room for second chances. Yet, beneath his hardened exterior, a question lingers: Can he forgive her, or will he ensure she pays the ultimate price?

Chapter: Happy Ending Lena sat in the backyard, a soft breeze playing with her hair as she rubbed her belly. She was now seven months pregnant, and the baby kicked more often these days. It was a reminder that soon, she and Grayson would have a little one to hold in their arms.Grayson had been extra careful with her lately, making sure she didn’t lift a finger. He barely let her do anything on her own, which sometimes made her laugh.Just this morning, she had tried to carry a small box, and he had rushed over like she was about to lift a mountain.“Lena, stop,” he had said, taking the box from her hands. “I told you, no lifting.”“It’s just a box of baby clothes, Grayson.”“I don’t care. You sit. I’ll do it.”She had rolled her eyes but smiled as he carefully placed the box down, arranging everything as if the clothes were made of glass.Now, as she sat outside, she could hear him in the kitchen, talking to someone on the phone. Probably about work. He still ran Blackwood Empire, but lately, he had been

Chapter: Unstoppable ONE MONTH LATERLena sat in her office, staring at the framed award on her desk. The golden plaque gleamed under the soft light, reflecting the name she had worked so hard to build, Carter’s Enterprises: Most Influential Company of the Year.She traced her fingers over the engraved letters, still in disbelief. A few months ago, she had only hoped to make it to the Top 100 companies in the country. Now, Carter’s Enterprises was in the Top 20. It felt unreal, but the numbers didn’t lie. Their sales had skyrocketed, their influence had spread, and investors were eager to work with them.They had made it.The collaboration with Blackwood Empire had been a turning point. Working alongside Grayson and his company had not only boosted their reputation but had also made them stronger in the industry. The success of their joint launch had been beyond anyone’s expectations. Because of that, they had won multiple awards:* Most Influential Company of the Year* Most Influential Collaboration (Bl

Chapter: ImaginationsLena sat on the couch for a long time, staring at the empty plate in front of her. She had eaten, she had rested, but she still felt heavy inside. Maybe it was the silence. Maybe it was the weight of everything that had happened.She let out a deep breath and stood up, stretching her arms above her head. Staying indoors all day wasn’t helping. She needed to clear her mind.A walk. Yes, that’s what she needed.Lena grabbed her black pants and pulled them on before slipping into a white hoodie. It was simple, comfortable. She tied her hair into a loose ponytail and checked herself in the mirror. Her eyes still looked tired, but at least the fresh air might help.She picked up her phone and sent a quick message to Grayson.Lena: Going for a walk. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything stressful.She didn’t wait for his reply before slipping her phone into her pocket and heading out.The moment she stepped outside, a cool breeze brushed against her skin. The city was busy as usual, cars honking

Chapter: Life Goes On The morning light streamed through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold. Lena stirred in bed, blinking slowly as the memories of last night rushed back in. Her chest tightened. The pain wasn’t as painful as before, but it was still there, sitting heavy in her heart.Grayson sat beside her on the edge of the bed, already dressed for work. His hand rested on her belly, his thumb moving in slow, gentle circles."You sure you'll be okay?" he asked, searching her face.Lena forced a small smile. "I’ll be fine. You should go."He didn’t look convinced."I mean it," she added, squeezing his hand. "Don't worry about me. Just focus on work."Grayson sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I just don’t want you stressing yourself.""I won’t," she promised.Still, he hesitated before finally leaning down to kiss her forehead. "I’ll be back early," he murmured. "Call me if you need anything."She nodded, watching as he grabbed his keys and headed for the door. The moment it closed behin

Chapter: Emptiness Lena’s eyes fluttered open, the harsh hospital lights making her squint. A dull ache sat at the back of her head, her body felt heavy, and for a moment, she struggled to remember where she was.Then it all came rushing back, Ayla, the fire, Kael’s broken voice, the moment everything had shattered.She swallowed hard, her throat dry. As she shifted slightly, she felt warmth against her hand. Turning her head, she found Grayson sitting beside her, his head resting on his arm. His fingers were curled gently around hers, as if afraid to let go.His suit was wrinkled, his tie loose, dark circles beneath his eyes showing just how long he’d been there.She tried to move her fingers, and immediately, he stirred. His eyes blinked open, slightly unfocused, before locking onto her face.“You’re awake,” he breathed, sitting up quickly. Relief washed over his tired features.Lena swallowed, trying to push past the lump in her throat. “How long have I been out?”Grayson reached for a cup of water o

Chapter: All Of Our PainHALLWAYLena wiped at her swollen eyes, her face pale and streaked with tears. She hugged herself, her body trembling. Kael, on the other hand, looked like a shadow of himself, hollow, detached, his gaze unfocused as he stared at the ground.His phone buzzed in his pocket.Kael ignored it at first, the vibration barely registering in his fogged mind. But it persisted, relentless. With a tired sigh, he fished the phone out, glancing at the screen. It was his secretary.He almost declined the call, but something in his gut told him not to.“This is Kael,” he answered, voice rough and broken.“Sir,” his secretary’s voice trembled on the other end. “I’m sorry to call you like this... but I thought you should know right away.”Kael rubbed his temple, his head pounding. “What is it?” he muttered, his patience fraying.“It’s your brother,” she said, her voice laced with caution. “He was in a serious accident tonight. A collision. He’s in a coma.”Kael stiffened, the words slamming into him l
