OWNED BY THE ENEMY, His Dark Claim
Amara thought her life couldn't get worse, trapped in poverty, caring for her ailing grandmother, betrayed by the man she loved. But one night changes everything: a police raid lands her in jail, where she meets the last man she should ever cross paths with…. Alessandro Vitale
He offers her freedom, but at a price: Marriage.
A deal, a trap, and a lifeline all at once.
What Alessandro doesn't know is that Amara carries a secret… a child that belongs not to him, but to his own bloodlines' rival. Their dangerous union sparks a web of betrayal, obsession, and power struggles, where love is both their greatest weapon and their deepest weakness.
As past feuds resurface and enemies circle closer, Amara must decline: will she remain a pawn in the Mafia’s deadly game, or rise as the unexpected queen of an empire built in blood.

Chapter: Chapter 227Amara’s POV Alessandro wanted me to rest during the drive home. He said it more than once. But I couldn’t. Not after everything that had happened between us these past few days. Not after everything that was still waiting to be said. So I spoke first. “I heard La Camorra gave the Vitale family a suspension,” I said quietly. I didn’t even finish the question before he interrupted me. “You don’t have to worry about that,” he replied immediately. “It will be settled.” His tone wasn’t harsh. But it was final. “All I need from you and Venera right now,” he continued, reaching over to rest his hand gently against my lap, “is for both of you to stay healthy.” That was all he said. And somehow, it was also everything he wasn’t saying. So I didn’t push further. Instead, I leaned my head back against the seat and stayed quiet for the rest of the drive. By the time the car stopped in front of the house, I already saw Elena waiting outside. She was holding Vene

Chapter: Chapter 226Amara’s POVI woke up to the feeling of someone gently caressing my hand.For a moment, I didn’t open my eyes.I thought I was still dreaming.The last thing I remembered clearly was being at the house… Marco rushing upstairs to get his car key so he could take me to the hospital. After that, everything had blurred into fragments—voices, movement, dizziness, darkness.So when I felt the warmth of a familiar touch against my palm, I told myself it couldn’t be real.Not yet.Slowly, I opened my eyes.Alessandro was sitting beside me.For a second, I just stared at him.The white hospital walls around us came into focus little by little, and only then did I understand that I really was in the hospital. But somehow, seeing him there instead of Marco made everything feel unreal again—like I had woken up inside the wrong version of the same moment.Then he smiled.And when his hand moved gently to my face, brushing my cheek with quiet care, the last doubt disappeared.He was really there.“

Chapter: Chapter 225Marco’s POVI didn’t leave the hospital immediately.Even after the argument with Alessandro, I stayed.I told myself I was only waiting to hear whether Amara would wake up.But the truth was simpler than that.I wasn’t ready to walk away from her.Or from my daughter.So I waited.I stayed in the hallway longer than I should have, pacing between the windows and the nurses’ station until one of the nurses who had been attending to Amara finally stepped out of her room.I stopped her before she could pass me.“How is she?” I asked.“She’s awake now,” she replied gently.That was all I needed to hear.I didn’t waste another second.I walked straight to her room and knocked once before reaching for the handle.But the door opened before I could push it.Alessandro stepped out.His hand was already against the door.Blocking it.Blocking me.For a moment, neither of us spoke.Then he said quietly,“Walk with me.”I didn’t argue.I followed him.We walked down the corridor in silence at fi

Chapter: Chapter 224 Alessandro’s POV I already knew the day was going to be long the moment it began with a message from Don Epifanio requesting to see me. After what happened at Laura’s wedding, I had tried to meet him several times. Every attempt ended the same way. Whenever Damian and I arrived at his estate, his men would tell me he wasn’t available. Even when his car was parked inside the compound. Even when I could see him myself—once on the terrace, standing exactly where he always stood in the mornings. Still, they said he wasn’t there. It didn’t take long for me to understand the truth. He was angry. And he didn’t want to see me. So when the message finally came that he was ready to meet me today— I felt something I hadn’t expected. Relief. I didn’t waste time. Damian drove us there immediately. On the way, I prepared myself for what I believed was coming. His anger. His disappointment. His judgment. Maybe even his silence. But none of that happened. When I entered the roo

Chapter: Chapter 223 Marco’s POV Coming to see Amara after Alessandro left the house showed me something I hadn’t expected to discover about myself. Being around Venera changed something in me. At first, I thought I was only visiting because it was the right thing to do. Because the house felt different without Alessandro there. Because someone needed to be present. But it wasn’t just that. Playing with her—watching her laugh, watching her reach for me without hesitation—made something inside me settle in a way I didn’t recognize at first. I liked making her laugh. I liked the way her face lit up when I made silly expressions. I liked how she tried to copy me when I exaggerated my voice just to hear her giggle again. And when she stumbled toward me with her small arms stretched out, expecting me to catch her— I always did. Without thinking. Without hesitation. Without wanting to be anywhere else. It felt… right. Strangely right. I had never felt that kind of certainty before. Not about a

Chapter: Chapter 222 Amara’s POV It had been three days since Alessandro left the house. Three days— and he still hadn’t come back. Damian hadn’t returned either. Every time I called him, he answered politely, but his response never changed. “Boss isn’t available to speak right now.” At first, I tried to remain calm. Then I asked him where Alessandro was staying. Just once. But even then, Damian avoided the question with careful excuses that told me everything I needed to know without saying anything at all. He was protecting Alessandro’s space. And I understood why. So I stopped asking. Because I believed when Alessandro was ready to hear me— he would come back on his own. Still, the house didn’t feel the same without him. Everything reminded me of him. His chair. His study door. The quiet footsteps he made when he came upstairs late at night. Even Venera kept looking toward the entrance sometimes, as if she expected him to walk in at any moment. Marco had been visiting regularly s

THE HARRISON HEIRESS
At sixteen, Freya thought she had escaped the loneliness of the orphanage when she was adopted into the powerful Sutton family. Instead, she was sold into a loveless marriage with Malum Sutton, a greedy womanizer twice her age who needed a wife to claim his inheritance.
But across Dubai’s glittering skyline and the Modern-day United States (Chicago, New York), another truth is unfolding. The Harrison family — wealthier and more powerful than the Suttons—reveals their matriarch once gave birth to a quadruplet, not triplets. Their long-lost daughter was stolen at birth, Three brothers, Kai, Rowan, and Sage, begin a desperate search for their missing sister.
When business brings Sage to the Sutton estate, he notices something odd: Malum’s wife flinched at his touch, her silence screaming of abuse. What Sage doesn’t yet know is that this fragile woman is the sister he’s been looking for.
Malum, terrified of losing control, fabricates DNA tests to present his secretary as the missing Harrison daughter.
Until betrayal turns on betrayal. Odessa, the woman who once delivered Freya into Malum’s hands, exposes the scheme.
But Malum does not give up so easily. Manipulating their son’s innocence and stoking Freya’s insecurities through jealousy of Harrison's wives, he lured her back into his grasp. He binds her with a cruel contract, one designed to strip her of everything unless she can prove his infidelity.
This time, however, Freya is no longer alone. With her brother’s love and her own newfound strength, she turns Malum’s trap against him.
From orphan to outcast, from victim to heiress, Freya claims her place as the true Harrison daughter.

Chapter: Chapter 66 Freya’s POV I had to wait until the night was over. There was no other choice. No matter how badly I wanted to leave, no matter how much the walls of that place felt like they were closing in on me—I couldn’t walk out early. Not after everything. Not after the way Clio and Remi cornered me, their hands pressing me back, their voices sharp as they reminded me exactly why I shouldn’t have come. But they didn’t matter. Not really. Their words, their anger, their warnings—none of it stayed with me the way it should have. Because all I could think about was Malum. Everything else faded in comparison. By the time I finally got home, the silence hit me first. Heavy. Still. I stepped inside slowly, almost cautiously, as if I expected him to be there waiting—standing in the dark, ready to confront me the second I crossed the threshold. But he wasn’t. The house was empty. At least… it felt that way. My eyes moved instinctively, searching, until I caught sight of his car outside

Chapter: Chapter 65 Malum’s POV I couldn’t take it anymore. Not after the way they sat there—all of them—watching me like I was entertainment. Like I had walked into their home just to give them something to laugh about. And they did. Right in my face. The sound of it still rang in my ears as I walked out of the Harrison estate, each step heavier than the last, my jaw locked so tight it ached. I didn’t look back. I didn’t care who was watching. I didn’t care what they thought. I was done. Done trying to play their game. Done pretending this was ever a negotiation. I didn’t even bother looking for Freya. That alone said everything. “Mr. Sutton!” Cassandra’s voice carried behind me, sharp enough to cut through the noise in my head. I heard her—I just chose not to respond. I didn’t slow down, didn’t turn, didn’t give her anything. Not right now. I just needed to get out. Out of that house. Out of their reach. Out of whatever humiliation they thought I was supposed to stand there and accept.

Chapter: Chapter 64 Cassandra’s POV I watched everything unravel. From the very moment Malum and I stepped into the Harrison estate, something felt off—like we had walked straight into a trap dressed up as an invitation. The air was too polished, the smiles too rehearsed, the stares too sharp. I should have trusted that instinct. Instead, I watched. I watched as Malum tried to hold a conversation with one of the Harrison brothers, his voice steady but strained, his patience thinning with every word exchanged. It didn’t take long before the tension snapped. What started as a conversation quickly teetered on the edge of a fistfight—shoulders squared, jaws clenched, pride flaring on both sides. And then, right on cue, another Harrison stepped in. A savior. At least, that’s how he made it look. He inserted himself between them with calculated ease, diffusing the situation just enough to shift the narrative. Suddenly, Malum wasn’t the man defending himself—he was the aggressor. The problem. The disr

Chapter: Chapter 63 Kai’s POV After I finally managed to get away from my friends, I headed straight inside, my eyes already searching the room for Freya. The place was buzzing—laughter, music, glasses clinking, people moving in clusters—but no matter how many times I scanned the hall, I couldn’t see her. For a moment, unease crept in. I thought of asking Scarlett, but she was busy beside Mother, attending to guests and making sure everything was perfect. Pulling her away now would only add to her stress, and I didn’t want to do that. Just as I was about to widen my search, I spotted Finn. He was with Daisy, the two of them sitting on the floor, completely lost in their own little world. Daisy was saying something animatedly while Finn laughed, his hands moving excitedly as he replied. Relief washed over me immediately. If Finn were here, then Freya had to be around somewhere. I kept looking. That was when I saw Rowan and Sage standing near the bar, deep in conversation. I walked up to them, and

Chapter: Chapter 62 Kai’s POV My tour wasn’t over—not even close—but there was no way I was missing my mother’s birthday. I’d argued with my management for days, pushed schedules around, traded favors I’d probably regret later. Somehow, they made it work. A narrow window. A rushed flight. No rest. But I was here—and that was all that mattered. Still, the thought I couldn’t shake wasn’t about the party. It was Freya. The possibility that she might be our sister sat heavily in my chest. I’d tried to stay logical about it. Scarlett had warned me not to get ahead of myself, but how could I not? We’d been searching for a while now—false leads, dead ends, hope followed by disappointment. And then Freya appeared, almost quietly, slipping into our lives in a way that felt… familiar. Too familiar. I pushed the thought aside as I stepped fully into the venue. That was when I heard it. “Daddy! Daddy!” I barely had time to turn before Daisy came running toward me, her little legs moving too fas

Chapter: Chapter 61 Freya’s POV The drive was quiet. Too quiet. Kai kept his eyes on the road, Finn sat happily in the back seat swinging his legs, and I sat there with my thoughts crashing into one another. No one spoke, but my mind refused to rest. Their lost sister. The words replayed over and over, sinking deeper with every passing second. I didn’t know what to feel—fear, disbelief, hope, or something dangerously close to longing. My chest felt tight, like I’d opened a door I wasn’t ready to walk through yet. Without realizing it, my hand tightened around Finn’s arm. “Mommy, you’re hurting me,” Finn cried out, his small voice sharp with pain. I startled immediately, as if someone had poured cold water over me. My grip loosened at once, and guilt crashed into me hard. All the thoughts that had been pulling me in different directions snapped back into place. “Oh my God, baby, I’m so sorry,” I said quickly, turning fully toward him. I took his hand gently this time, rubbing his arm the way I a
