Trapped by the Mafia Boss

Trapped by the Mafia Boss

It was all her fault. My life could have been simple—40-hour shifts at KFC, sneaking extra chicken crumbs, and binge-watching reality shows. But no. Instead, here I was, standing at the altar, saying I do to a man whose idea of “casual” involved drugs, women, and murder on speed dial. Thanks, Mom. Not only did she ruin my life, but she also sold it—traded me off to the deadliest Mafia boss alive, Mario Santiago, as if I were some secondhand couch on clearance. Mario Santiago. Yeah, that Mario Santiago. The Human Terminator. The guy whose enemies mysteriously vanish like my paycheck two days after payday. And now, I was his wife. He glanced at me with a slow, wolfish smile that practically screamed trouble. That was when I knew two things: 1. I was completely doomed. 2. This man was going to wreck my heart (and probably my life). But hey, it could be worse, right? At least I’d get a killer wardrobe out of it. *** Are you looking for romance and humor? Stuck with Mario Santiago is a hilarious, Mafia billionaire romance filled with danger, betrayal, drama, and a love story you won’t forget. Dive in—you won’t regret it (but the characters might).

Chapter: Monday Morning
Sylvia's POV By 6:45 a.m the next day, I was already up.Diana was still snoring, so I moved quietly, tiptoeing across the room, grabbing the clothes I’d set aside and heading into the bathroom.I showered fast, trying not to overthink. I scrubbed my skin, even shaved. My nerves were starting to creep in now that the whole "starting a job" thing was real.When I stepped out and dried off, I slipped into the black skirt, it was still as short as I remembered. The blouse clung to my chest, but I buttoned it up high enough to feel at least semi-respectable. The blazer helped pull it together, even if the overall vibe was still a little... suggestive.I applied some light makeup, just enough to look fresh and pulled my hair into a neat low bun, and stepped out of the house. The cab smelled faintly of cigarette smoke and something sweet, maybe a leftover pastry or the driver’s cologne. I sat with my hands clutched tightly around the worn handles of my handbag, my resume inside, slightly

Chapter: Figure it out
Sylvia's POVI sat on the couch, pretending to read while watching Diana and her hookup-turned-boyfriend... Maddox devour each other like they hadn’t just been making out five minutes ago. It was disgusting. They were chewing on each other’s faces, hands everywhere, and just when Diana let out a loud moan, I slammed the book shut with a sharp thud.They jumped.“Get a motel,” I groaned, glaring at them.This had become my daily routine: Diana and Maddox starting in the living room, stumbling into the bedroom without bothering to close the door properly, and then proceeding to fill the entire apartment with their moans and creaking furniture. The beds were already half-broken, and my sanity wasn’t far behind.“Come on, baby, take it, been telling you for weeks now,” Maddox groaned, adjusting his pants. I quickly looked away, not in the mood to see more than I already had. He turned to Diana like I wasn’t sitting right there.Then Diana hit me with the puppy-dog eyes.Maddox had been tr

Chapter: The Friday guy.
SYLVIA'S POV I hesitated, heart hammering against my ribs. My hands were cold. I still felt the man from earlier, the one who shoved money up my thigh.I nodded once, gave Trisha a weak smile, and walked toward the stairs.My legs were shaky. Every step made my heels wobble. I passed girls in lace and silk, a few men who tried to grab my hand or whisper something filthy, but I kept my head down.Room 5.I stood in front of it for a long time, contemplating whether to turn back, and get out of here, then lifted my hand and knocked once.No response.I turned the knob, it wasn’t locked.Inside, the room was warm and dim, with low golden lights and a deep red velvet chair in the corner, turned toward the window.“Lock the door,” a voice said. Calm. Clear. Not loud, but commanding enough that I did it without question.I turned the lock, swallowing hard, and turned to face him.He was young.Maybe late twenties, early thirties. Hair swept back neatly, dressed in a dark button-down, sleev

Chapter: Book 2: TRAPPED BY THE MYSTERIOUS BILLIONAIRE.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Book One: Trapped by the Mafia Boss has officially ended. Sylvia and Mario hurt each other too deeply, and too often, for a happy ending to make sense. If you followed their story, you already know they were toxic together. Forcing a "forever" ending on them would’ve felt fake, and I’d rather keep it real with you. The second book picks up from here. It’s life after Mario. We’ll see how Sylvia keeps attracting the wrong kind of men… and how she ends up in a different kind of mess altogether. If you’d like a separate book about Mario, maybe watching him fall for a girl who’s the total opposite of Sylvia, drop a comment and let me know. I might just write it. THE END OF BOOK ONE. 💔✨

Chapter: The Strange Man
SYLVIA’S POVI was dressed in a black gown that barely counted as a dress. It stopped just under my ass, tight around my hips like it was stitched on, and the back? Wide open. My spine felt like it was out in the cold, fully exposed. I looked in the mirror and barely recognized the girl staring back.This wasn’t me. Not really.But it had to be, at least for tonight.Outside, the air was cool and breezy, not too harsh but enough to remind me I didn’t belong in something this short, this tight, this… desperate. I was shivering, and not just from the cold.“Let’s go over the rules again,” Diana said, reaching out to fix my hair. She smelled like cinnamon and cheap perfume. “Ass-grabbing is allowed. If someone touches your boobs, you can push their hands away, but nicely. No punching. And please, Sylvia, try not to look like someone dragged you here at gunpoint.”I let out a dry laugh and nodded.Diana had on a red vinyl two-piece and heels that could stab a man. She looked like she belo

"You're nothing but a dirty pet human to me," Damien sneered, his predatory step making me cower. "Get away from me.

"Let's see if you'll ever escape," he grinned wickedly, grabbing me and slamming me against the wall as I winced in pain.

Chapter: A threat? Or a warning?
TALIA'S POVTalk about a dramatic icebreaker! There I was, minding my own business—or so I thought—when suddenly, I found myself in a live-action medieval drama. And who should star alongside me but the same handsome stranger who had earlier insulted my name? Only this time, instead of hurling insults, he was wielding a sword! Yes, you read that right.And let me tell you, that sword wasn't just for show — it was sharper than my wit on a Monday morning. Before I could say, “Is this a Renaissance fair gone wrong?” The blade sliced through the air with precision and plunged into my chest.Talk about cutting straight to the heart of the matter.Agony, sharp and unrelenting, erupted within me like a torrent of fire, searing through my veins and engulfing my senses. I gasped for air, my sense of humor deserting me, the metallic tang of blood flooding my mouth as I staggered backward, my mind struggling to grasp the reason for his actions. Why? Why would he do this?As consciousness ebbed a

Chapter: the connection
Damien’s POV“The one?” I asked, my eyebrows squeezing together as I stared at the seer. Everyone knew she was strange, but this was pushing it.“She's come back,” the seer repeated, barely looking at me as she focused on the girl in front of us. The seer's eyes flitted over the human girl's form with frantic intensity, as if she were attempting to devour every detail in a single glance.Her gaze darted from the human girl's eyes down to the curve of her jaw, all in rapid succession. Each movement seemed urgent, as if she were racing against time to absorb every aspect of the girl's being. There was a sense of desperation in the way her eyes widened with each new observation. She gently touched the girl's hair, taking a big sniff like she was trying to confirm something.“It's really her,” the seer said, looking up at me with wide eyes.“Who?” I asked, getting annoyed at her mysterious talk.“Your mate,” she whispered, and I jerked back. She must be joking. I thought as I scoffed.“Ho

Chapter: She wasn't supposed to be born yet
Damien's POV“Are you listening, King Damien?” Alpha Rylan's voice pierced through my wandering thoughts, pulling me back to the present.Since I had left the room, my mind had been oddly preoccupied with the human girl the pet hunter had brought for me. There was something about her that struck me as odd; I had to admit she was pretty. Her name, the way it had rolled off her tongue when she said it, had been enticing. And her feistiness, it seemed to appeal to my wolf.I blinked, refocusing my attention on the elderly alpha seated across from me. “Apologies. Could you repeat that?” I inquired, raising an eyebrow in mild curiosity.“Why are you not paying attention, Alpha Damien?” Alpha Killian, a young alpha, questioned, his tone laced with a hint of audacity that caught me off guard. The room buzzed with murmurs of surprise at his boldness, and I couldn't help but find it amusing.Leaning back in my chair, a smirk tugged at the corner of my lips. “You must be new here,” I remarked,

Chapter: Meeting HIM
TALIA'S POV“What can I do, right?” I pulled away from Emily, the bitterness of her betrayal lingering in the air. “You can keep your code to yourself. You both deserve each other, anyway.” I stole a quick glance at Michael. His expression had grown cold as he gazed at Emily.“You're just jealous!” Emily's voice cracked with frustration as she reached for Michael, only to have him pull away.“Enjoy your secret-filled marriage,” I retorted with a taunting smile before turning to leave.As I wandered the streets, my mind raced with thoughts of places to spend the night. Yet, I had none. Stranded in the cold city, hunger gnawed at my insides, its relentless rumbling a painful reminder of my predicament. With a heavy sigh, I trudged forward, my steps echoing in the empty streets.The sound of tires rolling behind me snapped my attention, my heart quickening its pace as I hastened my steps, a sense of unease gripping my stomach.The car trailed behind me, its presence looming like a shadow

Chapter: Betrayal
TALIA'S POV“Time up,” I muttered under my breath as the large clock in the empty hallway banged. I made my way towards the front exit, the heavy thud of my feet as they hit the ground, loud and clear.I only had a few minutes before the front exit into the asylum was locked shut.I reached the fence, my hands grasping at the rusted metal, the jagged ends biting into my skin. With determination, I hoisted myself over, ignoring the pain.Once on the other side, I stumbled onto the uneven ground. I took a moment to catch my breath, my heart pounding in my chest as I scanned the darkness for any signs of pursuit.But there was only silence, broken only by the distant wail of sirens. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks—I was free, at least for now.After escaping the asylum, my thoughts were scattered, my mind still reeling from two years of confinement. The world outside seemed both familiar and foreign as I navigated the unfamiliar streets, my senses dulled by the years spent be

Chapter: Addicted
Chapter 14 – Vermont’s POVThe room wouldn’t stop spinning.I barely felt myself go down, my knees giving out as I crumpled to the floor, breath tearing out of my chest in loud, ugly heaves. My palms hit the stone, cold biting into my skin, but even that didn’t drag me back to reality.“That’s a fucking lie,” I whispered, more to myself than anyone else. “Lilith would never. Lilith would never have sex with you.”My head shook on its own, slow and desperate.“I didn’t imagine her,” I said hoarsely. “She wouldn’t... she wouldn’t.”“We did,” Adrian’s voice cut in, flat and relentless. “For a year. A whole year.”His words blurred together, sinking into me like poison.“After she got pregnant, I wanted us to elope. She didn’t. She wanted to get rid of the baby, but she couldn’t when she found out it was your firstborn and she’d die during the process.” He swallowed, wincing in pain. “So she decided to pretend it was yours.”His voice kept going, but I barely heard it.“She loved me,” I p

Chapter: Twisted Truths
Chapter 13 – Vermont’s POV“So you’re telling me nothing happened after the sex?” Adrian asked.We were halfway down the corridor. I could see the doors to the conference room waiting. I had a meeting with the elders that morning, and I was dreading it already.I’d told Adrian the short version of yesterday night.“I’m telling you nothing happened,” I said. “It was… normal.”The word tasted strange.Adrian slowed his steps. I could feel his eyes on me even before he spoke again. “You think the other woman lied?”I exhaled through my nose. “Lie about two broken legs, a fractured arm, and a concussion?” I shook my head. “No. I don’t think she lied.”“She could’ve done it to herself,” he said. “People do insane things when there’s money involved.”That did it.I stopped walking.“She screams when she sees me,” I said, turning to him. “She can’t even look at me without shaking. She's traumatized Adrian, and you think she's faking that?”Adrian opened his mouth, but I kept going.“You real

Chapter: The room with chains
⚠️ EXPLICIT CHAPTER WARNING ⚠️This chapter contains graphic sexual content and dark themes.If you’re under 18 or uncomfortable with explicit scenes, do not read this chapter.Chapter 11Vermont’s POVThe room Adrian had prepared looked normal at first.At first glance, it looked like every other room in the palace. Same walls. Same quiet. Same faint smell of polish and old stone. I almost missed it until my eyes landed on the bed.Instead of the four-post curtains every other room had, this one was bare. Chains hung from each end, thick and heavy, bolted so tight they wouldn’t come loose no matter how hard I pulled.I stopped just inside the doorway.“Do you like it?”Adrian’s voice came from behind me and I exhaled through my nose before letting out a short laugh, “Do I like it?” I repeated, not turning around. “You’re asking me if I like getting chained to a bed.”He chuckled as he stepped into the room, like this was all casual. Like it wasn’t fucked up.“Just saying,” he shrugge

Chapter: Doom
Chapter 11Talia’s POVI was deep into the book resting in my lap when the door handle rattled.I sighed, exasperated. My thoughts were already a mess especially now that I wasn’t chained anymore and the last thing I needed was Vermont barging in to unsettle me all over again.“You can’t stay away for a few hours without coming back to torment me, can you?” I called out as I stood, unlocked the door, and pulled it open.I froze.It wasn’t Vermont standing there.It was Abena.Vermont’s mother stared at me like she couldn’t quite believe her eyes. For a brief second, we were both stunned into silence.“What are you...” she gasped. “Oh my goodness… it’s you.”Shock flashed across her face, then fury followed just as fast. Before I could react, her hunched frame shoved past me with surprising force, sending me stumbling aside as she stormed into the room.“Why would he be hiding you here?” she demanded, pacing back and forth without looking at me. “All these weeks, he told the elders you

Chapter: By Tonight
Chapter 10 — Vermont's POVI opened the door again.She leaned against the wall like she didn’t have the strength to stand straight anymore, her head tipped back slightly, cheeks flushed, lips parted like she’d been breathing too hard. The chain around her ankle glinted faintly when she shifted her weight.“I’ll drop the key to the chain on the table,” I said, my voice sounding rougher than I intended. “If I were you, I wouldn’t try anything stupid.”Her eyes flicked to me.“My pack members have orders,” I continued, nodding toward the chain. “If they see you, they’ll kill you on sight. So don't try to escape”I waited for a reaction, but she gave me nothing.That annoyed me more than it should have.I shut the door hard and walked away before the silence could crawl under my skin.The car door slammed behind me, and a second later I was on the road, driving faster than I should have. The morning air rushed through the open window.My fingers moved on their own, dialing my best friend

Chapter: A reality check
Chapter 8Talia’s POV“You don’t actually believe that, do you?”Vermont’s lips curled in amusement as he watched the stunned look on my face.“So you can actually get it up?” I asked quietly, a breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding slipping free.“Are you relieved I can get my penis up?” He burst into loud laughter. “If I didn’t know better, I’d think you wanted me.”He winked, then shut his eyes and stretched out on the couch like nothing had happened.I let the silence sit between us for a moment before speaking again.“Do you still want to talk about Lilith?” I asked softly.His eyes flew open at her name.“Why would I want to talk about her?” he snapped. “What business of it is yours?”The anger was back in his voice, the same sharp edge it had when he barged in earlier, like he might lunge at me any second.“I’m sorry,” I said quickly. “You were talking about her before, so I thought you might want...”“Well, you thought bloody wrong,” he cut in. “Unless you have something be
