Capturing The Mafia Boss! Now He Has Captured My Heart
Detective Adrian Cross built his reputation on one principle: criminals don't escape justice. Especially not the ghost from his past—Damien Salvatore, the mafia kingpin who shattered his heart ten years ago and now runs the most dangerous criminal empire in Los Angeles.
Their love story began in high school hallways and ended with silence when Damien's family ripped them apart, because Adrian's orphan background is not worthy of their dynasty.
Adrian promised himself he would never be vulnerable again. So he became untouchable and brilliant. The LAPD's rising star.
Until Damien's face appears on his assignment briefing, and every carefully constructed wall crumbles.
To Adrian, this isn't just another case, it's personal. Adrian will stop at nothing to put his first love behind bars, but what happens when their cat-and-mouse game reignites a connection that defies logic and law?
Every arrest Adrian makes, every operation he leads, only draws Damien closer to a devastating truth: the detective hunting him is the only person he's ever loved.
As bodies pile up and betrayals multiply, Damien makes an impossible choice that will force Adrian to answer one question: Is justice worth losing everything twice?
In a city where loyalty is currency and love is leverage, two men will discover that some evidence can't be buried, and some hearts refuse to be captured.

Chapter: Chapter 5DAMIEN His kiss drove me mad. I had never kissed anyone like this. Something about it tugged at me, familiar in a way I couldn't place. It was a punishing kiss, because something about it made me want to draw away, and at the same time, it made me want to take him right here, right now, find out what sounds this perfect mouth could make. And I still wanted to watch him dance. He pulled back and stared at me, chest rising, face flushed. The thought that I might look the same way ran into my own head, and I claimed his mouth again. He bit on my lower lip and pulled slightly, and I whimpered. I whimpered. I must really be losing my mind, and for a complete stranger. The sound seemed to do something for me because something about the kiss changed. It felt even more charged now, needy on both ends and dizzying. He pushed on my chest, and at first I thought he was pushing me away. But his mouth never left mine, and I realized he wanted me to sit. I led us both backwards and sat down, h

Chapter: Chapter 4ADRIAN "I need to talk to you, Adrian," Captain Morrison said. "If it is about visiting that club and finding Damien Salvatore, then I'm sorry but you can't change my mind on that front." I said it more coldly than I intended. "You either sit this one out, Adrian, or I take you off the case entirely." That stopped me short. "You can't do that," I said quietly. "I am your boss. Yes, I can." He spat the words. I could tell he was pissed at me, but I just couldn't bring myself to care. I was pissed at myself too, anyway. "Fine then," I mumbled. He didn't need to know that I would be going either way. "Just take it easy, child. You're doing good." He walked back into his office. --- It probably took me longer to find the club itself than to realize there was nothing gentlemanly about the entire place. This wasn't my first time here. It was actually the third. The first and second visits were spent gathering as much intel as I could about Damien's mannerisms, the kind of outfit e

Chapter: Chapter 3Adrian No one told me cases don't leave you at work, they follow you home, got on your walls and refrigerator surface. They get in your head, and when you rolled your eyes you no longer see brain matter but just cases, red ribbons, photographs and pens. I knew that would be the case with Damien, all consuming as ever. And me? Obsessive, crazy. I threw myself into the case immediately. It had been just a week but it already felt longer. Everyone had something to do, a role to play, and Mrs. Chen had been wonderful training me, although she claimed I knew it all already. I was grateful to have an older colleague showing me the ropes. Arrests had been made, but aside from that, it had not gone the way I'd hoped. I expected the small gangs and street dealers to cave immediately, but a large number of them chose to keep quiet. All had lawyers. We had to let them go. "Adrian?" I turned around to find Mrs. Chen. I didn't miss the purple splotches under her eyes. "Oh. Mrs. Chen.

Chapter: Chapter 2ADRIANI blinked and squinted my eyes like the mere motion would will a different face unto the projector screen. It couldn’t be, not Damien Salvatore.Tears burned against my lids. I wasn't day dreaming. It was true. That was him. Damien Salvatore. My mind drifted back to everything he had said back then. Each and every word from ten years ago like it was few hours ago. " We will live and build a life together. No one would stop us...." He had said. I had kept them like they were gold. I swiped the tears across my cheek. My mind raced as I tried to focus on Morrison. His voice still echoed in my head from the exact moment he said good bye. He had promised to come see me the next dayThe screen projected yet another image of Damien, this one somehow even more clearer than the first. I winced.“You okay?” Mrs. Chen asked.I coughed slightly, my hand flying to my mouth. “Why, yes. I am alright.” I said, a wry smile appeared across my lips. “Sure? You looked like you were in pain.” She

Chapter: Chapter 1ADRIAN POVWhen I chose to become a detective, I thought I was doing it to catch bad guys and prove a point. I never knew it would bring me back to somebody I never expected to see. Especially not after ten years. “Ready for today's briefing kid?” Captain Morrison asked, adjusting his tie before taking his place at the head of the table. I slid into the seat by his side, nodding curtly. “Yes, ready when you are.” I said, a wide smile appeared across my lipsI ducked my hands beneath the table real quick as they began trembling. My chest heaved. My lips quivered as I tried really hard to find the perfect shape for my smile. There was no way I was letting him down. A soft hand made its way to my shoulder. " Breathe, dear." She said, “Nah, I'm fine.” I chuckled, turning my head slightly to avoid eye contact. She poured me a cup of coffee, slid it across the table making sure it was in front of me. " Try it out, it helps burn out nervousness."I took a sip from the cup, then place it

Love At Stake
I became an assassin to save my family. I never expected to save my target instead.
Buried under my parents' debts and my grandmother's medical bills, I made a desperate choice. I sold my soul to a shadowy organization, my first mission: to eliminate a ruthless mafia.
The job went sideways. In the chaos, I did the one thing an assassin should never do—I saved his life, Det. Now, I am forced to become is bodyguard.
He became my sanctuary and my greatest threat. Every moment with him blurs the line between duty and desire. But the deeper I fall, the closer I get to a devastating truth: Det’s family is responsible for my parents' death and my grandmother's cruel fate.
Now, I'm torn between my heart and a vow of vengeance. Do I follow my grandmother's last words to kill them all, or do I protect the man I was never supposed to love?

Chapter: Chapter 48| Reveal: The night beforeDet's PovMy whole body froze. I blinked twice trying to understand what he had just said. " What?" I asked, leaning forward, my head tilted slightly. " You heard me pretty clearly, Det." Sila said,his voice was low. " There's no repeating the same thing over and over again." He blurted. " Tell him to leave." My voice was cold. I pressed my palm flat on the table, my lips curled up slightly. " Get out," my voice was cold. He nodded continuously, rolling his eyes. His hands in his pocket as he turned to leave. He dragged himself outside my office. But, I could see him linger around through the glass. What was he looking for?ーI asked myself. My ex had no reason to come here. But, if he did... What made him come back?...I had spent most of my time in my office. And Ronnakrit never came back. It was getting late already, he still didn't show up. Not even his brake light, nor Porsche's. I picked up my phone dialing his phone number. My eyes glued on the phone, while it kept buzzing a

Chapter: Chapter 47| My Ex is backDet's PovAs soon as those words slipped through his lips, my jaw dropped. I blinkedーonce, twice, thriceーbut none was helping for enough clarity. " What did you just say?" I asked, my voice was barely audible. " You heard me right, Det." He said, his voice was almost cold. My jaw dropped. I gulped down my saliva. This wasn't the same Krit I knew. Krit doesn't sound this cold when speaking. I wanted to speak, but kept quiet. There was nothing I could say anymore. The images from that night flashed across my eyes. The way I had held him. Those kisses. The way I had slipped my tongue through his lips, everything just replayed behind my head. There was no way I was falling for another guy. No way. It was not possible. It couldn't happen. But, it was all a bluff, I was already in it. I stared into his eyes, his long hair played across his face. I licked my lips, "You don't need to return the money," I said. " Since you're back, our old deal is still on. Be my bodyguard, and you can d

Chapter: Chapter 46| Embark on a new missionRonnakrit's PovMy heart skipped a bit. My jaw dropped, I raised my left eyebrow. I lifted my eyes to look at him, then back at the photo he gave to me." Why do you want to kill him?" I asked, There was no way I'm gonna kill Det's father. Not now not in. The near future. I can't kill Anant. Even if he wasn't the good type, his son still held Pawat in his custody. And my grandma? She was one of the reasons I didn't want to act irrationally. " You don't get to question me." He said, his voice was cold. " You do the work... Or?" He paused, He didn't speak, but his hands moved. He signalled the guy beside me. And instantly, he clicked his gun. Ready to shoot. I turned my head, looking above my shoulder. " I will do it." I paused, my mind racing with so many possibilities. "On one condition." I blurted. " Wise one," he smirked. His face slightly folded. " Go on." " You pay me half the payment before I embark on the journey. We're looking at 50m" I said, my voice cold. I tilted my he

Chapter: Chapter 45| Next Target: Det's FatherRonnakrit's Pov“I'm giving you that chance to choose.” He said, “ I love your body. You get raped, and killed. Or, you just work with me. There won't be any rape. You will work, and get paid.” His voice was cold. He trailed the cold rim of the pistol around my head. The next second, it felt more like my life was just going off the next second.I raised my eyes to look at him. Lowering it the next second. I tried to stretch myself longer with the help of the ropes around my hands. But, I was already weak. I let out a low groan. “ I don't wanna work with you.” I said, he can't be serious about the rape. He can't,he won't rape me. I know that really well. And I know one thing for sure. He can't be serious about the rape. Not now, not ever. He is not serious about it. “ Well, it seems you die after all.” He smirked. Looking into my eyes, I watched as he told his men to come carry me. And yeah, that was the last thing I saw at that moment as I slowly succumbed into the darkest abyss.

Chapter: Chapter 44| Dagger's threatDet's PovI stepped into my office, lowering my head to look at the floor. My mind was racing with many questions. It has been three days now ever since Dagger came to ask me about Krit. And I was shocked. Many questions kept racing in my mind, I just didn't understand one thing. Maybe it's never a thing. What was their deal? How did they know each other? I went straight to my chair, his words playing at the back of my head. I sat right on the chair, my eyes caught the red envelope. At that moment, something clicked in my head. There was no way I could live without Krit. He had the key to solving the mystery about this whole envelope stuff and I had let him go all because of my stupidity. Damn, how do I settle things now, there was no way I could get him back. My mind drifted back to what Dagger had saidーif he should not find him in the next seven days then he will kill me.My life was on the line. I was a strong one, but when it comes to Dagger… even my father can't do anything.

Chapter: Chapter 43| Dagger's dealRonnakrit's PovI didn't understand what was happening, I didn't understand the idea, the scope. My background was like a little show that doesn't rhyme with my own current life. And it was killing me. I was just seeing faces that make me question what I really know about my background.“ What?”she said, she opened her mouth to speak again… The next second, her head exploded. Blood splattered across the room. I watched as she slowly landed flat on the floor, my mouth wide open. I didn't understand what was happening, but I knew that for sure she was already dead. And I am the cause of it. I didn't wait, I sprinted out of the shop. My legs were pretty fast, flying across the tarred floor almost touching the back of my head. My mind wasn't stable. I was just grateful that these stupid people were using silent guns. It saved my ears from bleeding and going numb again. Before I could take the sharp corner in front of me, I felt a strong force collide with my head. My vision blurred imm
