Owned By The Mafia Lord

Marco’s presence was overwhelming, his body heat making it hard to breathe. His dark eyes locked onto mine, making my heart race. “Why do you fight me, Sarah?” he whispered, his breath hot against my ear. I tried to step back, but the counter trapped me. “I won’t be your plaything, Marco.” He smiled, a dangerous, seductive curve of his lips. “Is that so?” He pulled me close, his hand burning through my dress. His lips brushed my neck, sending shivers down my spine. “I think you like this more than you admit.” I wanted to resist, but when his mouth claimed mine, I melted into the kiss, my body betraying me. Every touch ignited a fire I couldn’t control. When he pulled back, his eyes were full of desire. “You can’t deny what’s between us, Sarah” Sarah’s simple life turns dark when she catches the eye of dangerous mob boss, Marco De Luca. To settle her father’s debt, Marco forces her into an arranged relationship. Sarah fights to resist his control, but their fiery clashes spark undeniable passion.

Chapter: Chapter 542
PROLOGUE: The sun shined through the windows, painting the living room in gold. I sat on the couch, leaning back as two little girls raced past me, squealing and shrieking, leaving a trail of toys. Marco was on the floor, trying to corral them, but the girls were quicker, giggling every time he got close.“Mom! He’s chasing us!” one shouted, her curls bouncing as she darted under the table.I laughed, clutching my stomach. “Girls, be nice! Give Daddy a chance!”Marco groaned, pretending to collapse onto the floor in defeat, but his eyes were laughing, soft and warm. “I can’t take it anymore! You two are relentless!”The girls tumbled onto the couch beside me, breathless and laughing. I ruffled their hair and felt their tiny hands grab mine. “We’re unstoppable, Mommy!” one whispered conspiratorially.I glanced at Marco again. He was watching us, his jaw tight with mock exasperation, but I could see the sparkle in his eyes, the love. The chaos of the morning, the spilled cereal, the sq

***********Marco paced the hospital corridor, shoes scuffing the tile floor, the fluorescent lights overhead making him itch with nerves. Each step was heavier than the last. He hadn’t felt this helpless in years. Sarah was in surgery, the bullet in her shoulder removed, and every second stretched endlessly.Tony leaned against the wall, arms crossed, glancing at Marco. Petrov stood beside him, eyes sharp, silent but present. “You alright, boss?” Tony finally asked, breaking the tense silence.Marco stopped pacing and ran a hand through his hair. “I should’ve been there. I should’ve protected her. I…” His voice cracked, and he swallowed hard. “She’s all I have.”Tony’s lips twitched into a small smirk. “You know what saved her, right?”Marco’s gaze snapped to him. “Tony?”“Yeah. That sniper shot?” Tony nodded. “That wasn’t just luck. That was me. You think we’d let you walk in there alone? You think we’d let Guido have you both after all that?”Petrov added quietly, “And the explosio

***********Smoke and fire lit the night around them as Marco and Sarah ran through the abandoned docks, their footsteps echoing on wet concrete. Explosions from the hotel in the distance shook the ground, sending clouds of dust and smoke swirling around the alleyways. Marco’s hand gripped Sarah’s tightly, his thumb brushing over hers, grounding her as they dodged debris and twisted metal. He glanced back for a brief second, spotting shadows moving fast—Guido’s men had realized they were escaping.“Keep up!” Marco hissed, tugging her forward.“I’m trying!” she gasped, fear sharp in her voice, her legs threatening to buckle under her.They darted between containers and stacks of crates, the firelight from the hotel making their shadows dance along the walls. Bullets ricocheted off metal near their heads, sparks flying dangerously close. Marco shoved Sarah into a small alcove as he returned fire with his pistol, keeping the assailants at bay while catching his breath.“Move now!” he bar

********Marco woke up with a sharp ache at the back of his head. The room was dark, only a faint light flickering from a single bulb overhead. His arms and legs were tied to a sturdy chair. His head throbbed, but the first thing he noticed was Sarah. She sat a few feet away, her wrists bound, hair messy, and her face streaked with tears. His chest tightened at the sight, anger and fear mixing in a heavy punch.A slow, deliberate clap echoed from the shadows. Guido stepped forward from the darkness, hands behind his back, his smile wide and confident.“You should’ve known,” Marco said through gritted teeth, a dry scoff escaping him. “It had to be you all along.”Guido laughed, a low, sharp sound that filled the room. “Ah, Marco… you were so high in your little sky, so sure of yourself, that you never saw it coming. Outdone by me. Just me. That’s what happens when you think you’re untouchable.”Marco’s jaw tightened. “You’re crazy.”“Crazy? No, Marco. Calculated. Methodical. Everything

SARAHI couldn’t stop shaking. My whole body felt cold and tight, like the fear was crawling under my skin and wouldn’t let go. My wrists burned from the ropes, my ankles hurt, and every breath came out uneven. I tried to keep quiet, to stay strong, but the tears kept slipping out on their own.I lowered my head and let the tears fall. I didn’t even have the strength to wipe them.The warehouse around me felt too big, too loud. Men were moving crates, checking guns, laughing from time to time like nothing here meant anything. Like I wasn’t tied up in the middle of all of it.Then I heard his steps.Guido.Slow, steady, confident.He walked toward me like he was coming to enjoy a show. I tensed without meaning to.He stopped right in front of me and tilted his head a bit, studying my face. I quickly looked away, but he grabbed my chin and forced me to face him.“Don’t hide it,” he said. “Let me see.”I kept crying silently, and he smiled like it entertained him.“You know,” he said, le

MARCOI sat in my office staring at the same line on the contract for almost ten minutes. My head throbbed. My eyes burned. My back felt stiff from sitting too long. I rubbed my face with both hands and pushed the chair back a little.I hadn’t slept right in days.Suppliers pulling out. Partners calling every hour. People whispering that I was losing grip of the city. Every damn thing felt like it was slipping through my fingers. And now Sofia was nowhere to be found.I checked the time again.She should have been here by now. I needed her to prep the last set of papers for the new deal we were trying to fix fast. But her office was empty. Her phone kept ringing out. Not even a text from her.I leaned forward and pressed my thumb to my forehead.I wondered if she was avoiding me because of the night at my house. The way she tried to kiss me. The way she acted like she wanted to push past every rule we had. I shut her down hard. Maybe that pushed her away for good.Good. That should ha

Married To The Cruel Billionaire

Married To The Cruel Billionaire

Selene’s life is shattered when her younger sister announces she’s pregnant—and marrying the very man Selene thought she’d spend the rest of her life with.

Chapter: Chapter 82
SELENEIt had been days.Not dramatic days. Not the kind where doors slammed or voices broke. Just quiet ones. The kind that looked normal from the outside but felt wrong on the inside. The kind where we lived in the same house and somehow managed to miss each other in every room.We talked about small things.What time the driver would come.What to eat.Who called.What needed to be paid.Normal couple things. Practical things. Safe things.But not us.Not the space between us. Not the tension that sat in every silence. Not the way we both avoided the real conversation like it might actually finish something we weren’t ready to lose.And the longer it went on, the heavier it felt. Like carrying something fragile in my chest that I didn’t know how to put down without breaking it.That evening, I stood outside his study for a full minute before I knocked.I don’t even know why I hesitated. I lived there. I slept next to him. I knew every part of that house better than most people knew

LEOI arrived earlier than usual that morning.Not because anyone asked me to. Not because I had to. I just woke up already alert, already dressed, already aware that something had shifted overnight and I didn’t want to be late to it.The parking lot was almost empty when I pulled in. A few executive cars. A couple of staff. Quiet, clean, controlled.Then I saw Adrien’s car.It was already moving.Backing out of its spot, smooth and slow like always. Same black car he’d driven for years. Same one everyone associated with him. I stayed still in my own car and watched it pass in front of me.He didn’t look my way.Maybe he didn’t see me. Maybe he did and chose not to. Either way, he drove out of the lot without hesitation. No pause. No second glance.Just… gone.I sat there for a few seconds longer than I needed to.This was supposed to be gradual.That had always been the plan in my head. Slow. Subtle. A few projects here and there. More meetings. More presence. Time.I didn’t expect i

ADRIENI walked into the building like I always did.Same entrance. Same guards at the door. Same woman at the front desk who smiled too fast when she saw me. Nothing looked different. That was the strange part. Everything was still in its place, still clean, still quiet in that controlled way.But everyone knew.I felt it before I really saw it. The way the air shifted. The way voices dipped when I passed. People pretending to be busy with screens they had already been staring at for ten minutes. A few heads lifted. A few didn’t. No one said anything.That silence was louder than anything they could have said.I nodded at the guards. They nodded back. Polite. Professional. Not warm.I took the elevator alone.That never happened.Usually someone from my team was already there. Talking about schedules. Numbers. Meetings. Today, no one. My assistant’s desk was empty when I passed. No tablet. No files. Just a message waiting on my phone.Go straight to Mr. Harris’s office.Not the board

SELENEThe door opened close to midnight.Not slammed. Not rushed. Just the quiet sound of the lock turning and the door easing shut behind him.I didn’t move.I was sitting on the couch, exactly where I’d been for the past hour, my legs tucked under me, my phone face down on the table like it might burn me if I touched it again.He stood there for a second when he saw me.Jacket still on. Hair slightly messy. His shoulders looked tense, like he’d been holding them that way for too long and forgot how to relax them.He didn’t smile.He didn’t say my name.He just looked tired. The kind of tired that comes from more than a long day.“You’re up,” he said.“I was waiting.”That made something shift in his face. Not guilt exactly. More like he’d expected this moment and still hadn’t figured out what to do with it.He walked in slowly, set his keys on the counter, took off his jacket. Every move felt careful, like he didn’t want to make anything worse by moving too fast.I stayed where I w

SELENEI was folding laundry when it happened.Not anything important. Just socks and one of Adrien’s shirts that I’d worn by accident the night before and hadn’t taken off until morning. I was standing in the bedroom, half watching some pointless video on my tablet, half thinking about nothing at all.That was the part that felt cruel later.That I was calm.My phone buzzed on the bed. Not a call. Not his name. Just the screen lighting up with a notification from a news app I barely used anymore.I almost ignored it.I picked it up because I thought it was about me.That’s the truth. I’d gotten used to it. Every alert, every message, every ping lately felt like it was about me. Another angle. Another clip. Another person with an opinion about something they didn’t understand.So when I saw the headline preview, my brain was already bracing.I expected my name.Instead, I saw his.“Adrien Harris assaults journalist at café.”I frowned at the screen like it didn’t make sense.

SELENEAdrien had been moving around for the last twenty minutes without settling. Not pacing exactly. Just doing small things that didn’t need to be done. Opening drawers. Closing them. Checking his phone, then locking it again. Standing still for a second like he’d forgotten what he was about to do.I was on the couch, pretending to read something I hadn’t absorbed in ten minutes.When he walked back into the living room with his jacket on, keys already in his hand, that’s when it clicked.“You’re going out?” I asked.He stopped for half a second. Not long enough to be obvious. Long enough for me to notice.“Yeah,” he said. “I need to handle something.”That word again. Handle.I put the tablet down. “Now?”He nodded. “It won’t be long.”I watched him instead of responding. The way his jaw was tight. The way he wasn’t looking at me. The way his body was already angled toward the door like the conversation was already over.“Where are you going?” I asked.He didn’t answer right away.

His deadly obsession

His deadly obsession

His steely gaze bore into mine, an abyss of emotionless darkness. "Marc-" "SHUT UP!" I flinched, a shudder coursing through me. He came on closer, his fingers tightening around my neck, a cruel parody of a caress. I met his frightening stare, I stared at him breathing heavily. "Just be still." I lowered my face, eyelids fluttering shut, as if seeking solace in the darkness. "I own you." His declaration resounding heavy in the air, an unbreakable chain binding me to this desire’s. In that moment, I knew - there was no escaping the clutches of this man who held me captive, body and soul. **************** In the heart of a city shrouded in shadows and secrets, Elena Santiago's life takes a dangerous plunge.

Chapter: Chapter 8
ElenaI stood in my fancy room, feeling trapped and unhappy. The red silk walls seemed to glow, but it wasn't a warm and cozy glow - it was more like a reminder of the life I was stuck in. The soft carpets felt like they were suffocating me, and the big bed with its fancy headboard and satin sheets just made me feel like I was stuck in a life I didn't want.The pillows were piled high, but they didn't offer much comfort. The fireplace had pictures of my husband's ancestors, and they seemed to watch me all the time, making me feel like I was being judged. The fire crackled and popped, and it seemed to be hungry for something - maybe my freedom.Outside, the gardens were beautiful and full of life, but they just made me feel trapped. I had a simple writing desk from my old life, but it was empty now, except for a pen that felt too heavy to hold. Every fancy thing in the room just reminded me that I was stuck in a life I didn't want.I felt like I was in a cage, and I wanted to break fre

Chapter: Chapter 7
I struggled to regain my composure, questioning Marco's sanity. Why would he unleash such brutality on Daren? The fear of others getting hurt due to this madness gripped my thoughts. My 72 hours were up, and I contemplated surrendering to Marco before more damage unfolded. It wasn’t long before, Marco and his imposing entourage made a formidable entrance, the evening breeze conspiring to announce their arrival. The subtle creak of the door, the hushed whispers of his accompanying goons – it was a well played out display of intimidation as Marco stepped into the room, casting a commanding shadow that seemed to stretch across the entire space. "Tempo scaduto, Elena," Marco pronounced, his demand echoing through the room. "I want that answer now." "I...l-" I started, my words hesitating. "Be careful, Elena," Marco interrupted, his warning carrying a palpable sense of impending consequences. "I'll accept your offer, Marco," I uttered, a tinge of sadness in my voice. However, ther

********* Amidst the shadows that envelop the barnhouse, Marco De Luca arrives with an air of authority, determined to extinguish the supposed threat posed by Daren. His steps echo with a lethal rhythm, resonating the impending confrontation. "Where is he?" Marco's voice cuts through the tense silence as he addresses one of his goons, his gaze piercing the room. "He's tied in that corner," Vinny replies, pointing towards an ominous darkness. “Guardia bene," Marco commands, a subtle flick of his fingers. Vinny, a close ally in Marco's trusted circle, stations two tough guys outside the barn, ready to guard against any unexpected trouble. Spotting Daren, Marco issues an unsettling directive, deploying two of his men to commence a brutal assault on Daren even in his sleep. The initial blow to Daren's stomach jolts him awake, blindfolded and futilely struggling against his restraints. The onslaught continues, the men taking turns to rain blows upon Daren, assaulting different p

************* The dimly lit lounge wrapped Marco in an intoxicating mix of luxury and allure. His crew stood by, solid as the stone walls around them. Women paraded all around him. In the midst of the wild party, his thoughts kept drifting to Elena. Seventy-two hours. A ticking clock to her surrender. He could almost taste the victory of breaking her spirit. Suddenly, Vinny, his right-hand man, rushed over looking all serious. "Marco, you gotta know this. The Vittorio, they're up to something suspicious." "The Vittorio, huh?" Marco mused. The name carried weight in their world. "Keep an eye on them, Santiago. This might get interesting." As Vinny hurried off, Marco let himself be swept back into the rhythm of the lounge. "Hello mister," one of the strippers purred, a naughty gleam in her eye. Marco gave her a sly grin. "Spicing up the night, aren't you?" She leaned closer, her voice a sultry secret. "Names don't matter, as long as you remember the moment." Elena A

Elena I could barely focus, every step feeling like a careless dance on unsteady ground. Marco's ordeal was a looming specter, a dark cloud threatening to suffocate me. Why is he doing this? What does he want from me? It's illegal, it's outrageous! My own father, willing to hand me over to this devil in exchange for a debt clearance, and the audacity of Marco to suggest... that! I refuse to be a sacrificial lamb, not for my father, not for anyone. I've worked tirelessly, day and night, to keep us afloat. This is a line I won't cross. Daren's voice broke through my swirling thoughts, a lifeline in the storm. I blinked, my gaze drawn to the spilt coffee on the kitchen sink. Dammit!. "What's going on, Elena? You've been off since you got here," Daren's concern was evident. I let out a deep sigh, "Just overwhelmed, you know? Life and all." "I get it," he chuckled. "Take it easy on yourself. Why don't you go take some orders, assist McKenzie? I'll handle this." His words we

************* The room was hushed, the weight of Elena's father's words hanging in the air. His face, once filled with warmth and laughter, was now etched with lines of worry and regret. He cleared his throat, his voice heavy with the burden of his confession. "I don't know how to say this," he started, his voice faltering, "but I've gotten myself into a dire situation. I've incurred a debt with a man, a dangerous one, and... and there have been threats made against our lives." Elena's breath caught in her throat, her mind racing to make sense of the words. "Threats? Father, who is this man? What kind of debt are we talking about?" Elena's father hesitated, his gaze dropping to the letter. "His name is Marco Moretti. He's a powerful figure, and I owe him a substantial amount of money. I fear for our lives, Elena. For yours and your brother's." "Elena, I'm thinking of offering you to the crime boss in exchange for our lives." Elena's hands clenched into fists, her anger and
