Mafia's Love At First Sight
"Her crown was built on a lie. His love will help her burn it all down."
At fifteen, Valencia De Von Cruz was the most feared girl in school— a shield of cruelty masking the trauma of her mother's unsolved murder. The only boy who wasn't afraid, Aaron Sinclair, left a rose for her on Valentine's Day. She never came. She vanished, leaving him with a broken heart.
Six years later, Aaron is a business kingpin, and Valencia is the ruthless Queen of the underworld. When he’s attacked, she saves his life in a blur of violence, not recognizing the man she once inspired. To find her again, Aaron lies. He walks into her empire and hires her for the one thing she sells: protection.
Valencia agrees, hiding her own truth: her crown is a cage. Her grandfather, who blames her for her mother's death, controls her with brutal trials. Aaron sees through her carefree facade. He witnesses her pain and wages a secret war against her grandfather, his love for her rekindled into a fierce, protective flame.
As their guarded hearts collide, a shadow from the past emerges. A secret organization, *Phoenix*, is systematically destroying Aaron's empire and has its claws in the underworld’s very foundations. To survive, Valencia and Aaron must unravel a conspiracy that leads to a devastating truth: the mastermind behind her mother's murder has been hiding in plain sight all along.
Now, Valencia must remember the tragedy she locked away. To claim her future with Aaron, she must first tear down the legacy built on her mother's blood. Even if it means becoming the monster they all fear.
*A story of shattered pasts, fierce love, and brutal revenge, where the most dangerous weapon isn't a gun— it's the truth.*

Chapter: CHAPTER 181CHAPTER 181THIRD PERSON'S POVEveryone was present in Grace's bedroom, and Valencia was beside her as the doctor checked on her foot. But whenever Grace groans in pain, Valencia glares the shit out of the doctor.“Can't you do your job properly!?” Valencia growls, glaring at the doctor with a clenched jaw. “Val, he's doing his best. You should calm down.” Asher says in a calm tone, staring at his restless daughter. Valencia huffed, clenching her jaw tightly and glaring at the doctor. Grace noticed her and gently held her hand, it was like Valencia could feel the pain instead of her.“It's nothing to worry about, as the water was not so hot and the ice pack did the work. I'm prescribing some medicine, take it on time and take rest.” The doctor explained, handing medicine to Archer, who was next to him.Valencia was about to say something but Adelio put his hand on her shoulder, and lightly squeezed it. “Alright, doctor! Thank you for coming here.” He says in a stern tone.The butler

Chapter: CHAPTER 180AARON'S POVValencia glares at me with a cute pout on her lips and her whole body sweating and squirming as I denied her orgasm for the 4th time.“Aaron! You jerk, bastard, idiot!! If you don't let me come then see what I do to you!!” She threatened me in frustration, trying to loosen the bathrobe, which I had tied around her both wrists to the headboard when she's too busy chasing her release.Fuck! Hearing her desperate moans makes me damn hard!! Only I know how I'm stopping myself from fucking her until she forgets everything except me and my cock in her tight little pussy.But I've to remind myself that she's injured and I can't tire her out because of me. Because right now she's not in condition to handle me.“If you be a good girl for me for the whole day then I will let you ride my face and my cock, until you beg me to stop.” I say, sniffing her neck and licking it before biting the spot.Valencia let out a breathy moan, squeezing her thighs for pleasurable friction but I sprea

Chapter: CHAPTER 179VALENCIA'S POVPunch!Punch! And fucking punch! I punched the sandbag until my extreme pain burst in my knuckles and the bag tore down.It's been years but I still couldn't move on from that incident. Why? “Arghhh…..” I screamed and screamed until the last bit of oxygen left my lungs and no voice came out of my mouth.“You're not planning to go in front of Ms. Grace with your bloody knuckles, sweetheart?” I heard Romeo's sarcastic voice, as he entered into the gym.I took a deep breath and walked towards him and stretched my bloody hands in front of him. “Wrapped them up for me.” I smile at him.Romeo shook his head as we sat on the couch and he gently started to clean my wounds and treat them. “Is your shoulder fine?” He asked.“…Yeah.” I lied. My shoulder hurts like a bitch, especially after my frustrating boxing but I'm not going to tell him.I deserve this pain. I want to know how it feels when you're in extreme pain.“You're lying, sweetheart~” Romeo smiled and I smiled back, ta

Chapter: CHAPTER 178THIRD PERSON'S POVEveryone was sitting around the dining table, having dinner while glancing at Valencia, who was trying to avoid their gazes and quickly wanted to finish her dinner.“Where have you been? Mom, Dad?” Luke asked, looking at his parents then Valencia. “How did you meet little Val?” Valencia chokes on her food after hearing the nickname, coughing violently, everyone immediately stands up but Romeo quickly makes her drink water and gently pat her back.“Just call her ‘Valencia’ , no need for a nickname!” Romeo growls, trying to ease his master's cough.“I can call her whatever I want! She's like my little sister.” Luke says, and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. Romeo frowned but didn't say anything else and silently stood behind Valencia.“We were in a coma and woke up a few days ago.” Luke's dad says, looking at Valencia and Romeo. Valencia took a deep breath and finally looked at everyone, Aaron looked at her with concern.“Let me explain, five years ago I found the

They didn't want to come but Valencia has texted them to go as she will meet them there.Everyone was waiting in the living room, Luke was silent and looking at the came. “I hope my family was also here.” He thought, and closed his eyes.“Where is Valencia?

Valencia walked in, first everyone was relieved but when they saw her black clothes damp in blood their eyes widened. She saw their expressions and shook her head.“I'm fine.

Chapter: Chapter 176VALENCIA'S POVI saw red.Blood rushed to my head and memories flash in my head, those screams, painful grunts, eyes full of tears and love, the warmth of love, the love of someone. The silhouette of my Momma comes in front of my eyes and something burns inside me.I punched the guy away, who had stabbed me and pointed my gun towards one man who was ready to shoot Grace and shoot him.I sprinted towards her, stabbing another man on my way and immediately pulled her behind me. “Don't worry, I'm here.” I assure her, without looking at her.“Cia…you're hurt!” Grace's trembling voice halted me in my steps. How can she even feel worried for someone who hides her identity from her? Almost getting her killed? “…It's fine, don't worry I will not let anything happen to you.” I don't know if I'm telling her or me, but I'm not letting her get hurt in my presence.People were running here and there, looking at us fighting, and I'm sure someone had called the police. That's why I need to finish t

Chapter: CHAPTER 80CHAPTER 80~THE HOLLOW KING~KAIDEN’S POV The darkness in the cavern was absolute, a thick, damp blanket that pressed against our senses. Time lost meaning, measured only in the drip of water and the slowing cadence of our breathing as we conserved strength. Kaelen and I didn’t speak. We didn’t need to. His shoulder against mine in the blackness was a battle plan, a vow, a shared furnace of silent rage. The scrape of a boot on stone announced a visitor. Torchlight flared, blinding after the prolonged dark. Riven entered, followed by two guards, and another figure who moved with a different energy, a lazy, prowling grace. She was younger than Riven, with the same winter-river eyes, but where his were frozen over, hers were deceptively lively, shimmering with a spoiled, acquisitive curiosity. Her hair was intricately braided, adorned with sharpened bone fragments. Sh

Chapter: CHAPTER 79CHAPTER 79~ THE SILENT HEARTH~ARIA’S POV The silence in the command den was a physical presence, thick and suffocating. It was the silence of a heart that had stopped beating. The central fire crackled, but its warmth didn’t reach me. I sat in Kaiden’s chair, my hands gripping the carved arms until the wood groaned. The bond was a muffled, distant ache, a limb numbed by a tourniquet. He was alive. I could feel the faint, ragged thread of his life-force, stretched thin but unbroken. But I couldn’t feel *him*. Couldn’t hear his thoughts, couldn’t feel his will. It was a torture more exquisite than any physical pain. Jax and Elias stood before me, covered in dried blood and forest grime, their postures bowed under the weight of failure and grief. The story they told was sparse, horrifying. An ambush of chilling efficiency. A targeted extraction. “They wanted them sp

Chapter: CHAPTER 78CHAPTER 78~ THE TAKEN~KAIDEN’S POV The acrid smoke from the burning Blightfang camp stung my eyes, but the fire in my blood was already cooling into grim satisfaction. The immediate threat was ash. We had been swift, brutal, and thorough. A message carved in flesh and fire: *This territory is protected.* “We move.” I growled, the command cutting through the crackle of flames. “Before the smoke draws other scavengers.” Kaelen gave a curt nod, melting back into the tree line to scout our return path. Elias stamped out the last embers near the tree roots, his healer’s mind already on preventing a forest fire. Jax shouldered his axe, a fierce grin still playing on his lips from the fight. We fell into a loose, swift formation, heading east toward the song of the Vale. My mind was already reaching ahead, across the bond, seeking the calm, steady frequency of Aria. I ne

Chapter: CHAPTER 77CHAPTER 77~A SHARPENED NOTE~KAIDEN'S POV Golden eyes. That’s what I saw reflected in Aria’s silver-flecked gaze every morning now, my own, but softer, the usual predatory gleam tempered by a wonder I was still learning to wear. The world held a new, fragile music, and for two weeks, I let myself drown in it. My focus, once spanning the entire territory, had narrowed to the space between my hands when they cradled Aria’s face, to the infinitesimal changes in her scent and energy that marked the growth of our future. The pack’s rhythm adapted around us, a protective, joyous bubble. Patrols ran smoother, disputes were settled before they reached us, as if the entire Vale had subconsciously decided to shoulder our burdens so we could have this peace. I trained, I led, I judged, but my mind was always half-tethered to the quiet hum emanating from my mate, a lullaby against my soul.

Chapter: CHAPTER 76CHAPTER 76~THE SEED OF TOMORROW~ARIA'S POV The decision, once acknowledged, didn't feel like a decision at all. It felt like a truth that had been waiting for us to catch up. It settled into my daily rhythm, not as a distracting preoccupation, but as a new, gentle undertone to everything I did. The symphony of the Vale now had a private counter-melody, just for Kaiden and me. My work didn't change. I still mediated, still listened to the land's song, still guided. But the impetus felt richer. When I helped a young Fox-kin and a Badger-folk settle a dispute over a burrow, it wasn't just about peace. It was about building the kind of world where such conflicts were resolved with patience and wisdom, the kind of world I wanted for a child. When I walked through the Heartstone garden, feeling its ancient, steady pulse, I found myself silently asking its blessing, something I’d never don

Chapter: CHAPTER 75CHAPTER 75~THE EDGE OF A DREAM~ARIA’S POV Watching Kaelen’s celebration had filled a chamber of my heart I hadn’t known was hollow. Seeing my little brother, the perpetual shadow, basking quietly in the sunlight of our love was a completion of its own. The Vale’s symphony had a new, settled quality to it, a deeper resonance of peace. But in the days that followed, a different note began to sound within me. It wasn’t dissonance. It was… anticipation. A soft, persistent pull, like a melody heard from another room, urging me to come and listen. It centered on the bond with Kaiden. Our connection had always been a fortress, a command center, the bedrock of the pack and the Vale. It was fierce and passionate, tempered by war and leadership. But lately, it felt like it was… deepening. Quieting. When our minds brushed together now, it wasn’t always to strategize or to share strength. Someti
