AFTER FIVE YEARS, HE FOUND ME
“Tell me something, Adriana…” Alessandro’s cold voice sliced through the darkness as he pinned my trembling body against the wall. “When you betrayed me five years ago… did you enjoy destroying me, or was I just another game to you?”
I swallowed the lump in my throat, my fingers tightening around the hospital report hidden beneath my coat. Because the ruthless mafia Don standing before me could never know the truth.
At least not yet.
**************************************************
Five years ago, Adriana Rossi shattered Alessandro Orsini’s heart when she abandoned him and married another man from a rival mafia family. To Alessandro, it was the ultimate betrayal. To Adriana, it was the only way to keep him alive.
Now fate has dragged her back into the dangerous world she barely escaped; with nothing left but debts, secrets, and a dying child whose life hangs by a thread.
But Alessandro is no longer the man she once loved. He is colder, crueler, and deadlier. A feared mafia Don who still burns with hatred for the woman who ruined him.
When he finds Adriana working in a strip club, humiliation and fury collide. Determined to punish her for the past, Alessandro offers her a choice she cannot afford to refuse: become his exclusive mistress… or lose everything.
Trapped once again in the arms of the man she never stopped loving, Adriana must survive his vengeance while hiding the truth that could destroy them both forever.
Because in the mafia world, secrets are dangerous. But loving Alessandro Orsini again might be the deadliest mistake of all.

Chapter: 0064: Public ClaimADRIANA’S POV The man in the plain black mask took one step toward me. Two of Alessandro’s men materialized from the shadows as if the darkness itself had shaped them. They closed ranks in front of me, silent and solid. The stranger paused, tilted his head in mild acknowledgment, then melted back into the crowd. I told myself it meant nothing. Guests had stared at me all night, some looks burned with open hunger, while others stayed colder, harder to name. But his looks belonged somewhere between the two, and the uncertainty left a cold trail down my spine.I took another glass of champagne from a passing server and drained half of it in one swallow. The bubbles scraped my throat and did nothing to quiet the tightness under my ribs. Across the floor my father stood with a man I did not know. Both of them looked my way more than once while they spoke. The fake love and concern he had offered earlier in front of Alessandro now felt like theater staged for an audience. On the opposite

Chapter: 0063: Debts Collected In SilenceALESSANDRO’S POVI left the main floor with Rocco at my shoulder and the image of that plain black mask still sharp in my mind. When Adriana had drawn my attention to the man watching us I had turned out of habit more than concern. The moment our eyes met across the crowded hall the years fell away. Raffaello Orsini stood among the guests as if death had never claimed him. The same arrogant set of the shoulders. The same cold measurement in the way he looked at what belonged to me. I knew he was still alive. But I had not expected him to walk into the same room tonight wearing a mask and staring at my fiancée as though he already owned a piece of the future. I did not make any move to confront him. The time and place were wrong, and I had other blood to settle first. I knew Raffaello had paid a traitor to poison the food meant for Luca and Adriana, but that debt would be paid another day. For now I kept my pace even and my expression unreadable as Rocco guided me through a side corr

Chapter: 0062: Beneath The MasksADRIANA’S POVAlessandro did not answer my question. The silence that followed felt heavier than any spoken reply. Even he seemed uncertain of the ground we were about to walk on. I watched the dark road slide past the window and kept my hand in his, drawing what steadiness I could from the simple contact.Rocco turned slightly from the front seat and passed two masks back to us. Alessandro took both, then he handed me one and kept the other for himself. The one he offered me was elegant rather than stark, shaped in deep charcoal silk edged with fine silver thread. “Let me do it,” he whispered, taking the mask from me. He lifted the mask and settled it carefully over my eyes, securing the ribbon at the back of my head with steady fingers. When he was done he fixed his own mask. His mask was simpler, matte black, and once it covered the upper half of his face the familiar lines of his expression became something sharper and less readable. The drive lasted longer than I expected. Whe

Chapter: 0061: Blood and MysteryALESSANDRO’S POV Adriana’s question hung between us while the rest of the room continued its busy preparation. I had rolled the sleeves with care and believed that the stain would stay hidden. Rocco had warned me to bring a second shirt before we left that morning. He had known the man we were meeting would push me too far to the point where I would kill him. I had refused the extra clothing because I had not planned to end a life before breakfast. But the plan changed the moment the traitor opened his mouth and lied.“It is nobody important,” I told her. “Forget it.” Her eyes narrowed. “We are not done with this conversation, Alessandro.” I stared at her as I chuckled at her authoritative words. Just then the lead stylist appeared at her elbow. “Mi scuso per l'intrusione, Don Orsini e la signora Orsini,” she said in rapid Italian. “Stiamo finendo il tempo. Lei deve prepararsi.” “My apologies for the intrusion, Don Orsini and Mrs Orsini. We are running out of time. She needs to ge

Chapter: 0060: The Woman Beside The DonADRIANA’S POVI woke up to an empty space beside me on the bed. The sheets still held a faint trace of his warmth and the clean scent of his skin, proof that Alessandro had slipped into the room sometime after midnight and left again before dawn. I had fallen asleep alone after waiting for him to finish whatever kept him locked in the study with Rocco. And in the quiet hours of the morning he must have returned, got under the covers, and pulled me close. The evidence said he had done exactly that, yet now he was gone again. Upstairs the house felt unusually calm. I checked the clock on the nightstand, it was eight thirty already. By this hour Luca normally would have bounced through the door demanding attention and breakfast. The silence made me sit up faster than usual. I pulled on a robe and stepped into the hallway. His bedroom door stood open and the bed was empty. Curiosity mixed with a low thread of unease as I started down the stairs. The moment I reached the ground floor t

Chapter: 0059: Becoming A FatherALESSANDRO’S POVI woke up to silence instead of the steady beep of monitors and the distant rattle of carts. For a moment my mind still expected the hospital ceiling and the sharp scent of antiseptic. Then the quiet of my own bedroom settled around me, and I realized the warm weight against my side was not a dream. Adriana was still asleep with one arm draped across my waist and her face turned toward my chest. My own arm rested around her shoulders as if it had found its place during the night and refused to move. I lay still and watched the slow rise and fall of her breathing. Five years of waking alone had trained me to expect an empty space all the time. But now she was here, real and warm, and somewhere down the hall our son was sleeping in a room that finally belonged to him. The simple fact of it felt heavier and more solid than any victory I had ever claimed in the streets. Her eyes opened after a few more minutes. She blinked up at me and offered a soft smile. “Good morn

Chapter: The Final PriceELENA’S POV TWO WEEKS LATER… “Naked we come and naked we shall return to Mother Earth…” the priest muttered as he read the short sermon. I stood on the damp grass as the casket lowered into the earth with a slow, final creak of ropes. Two weeks had passed since the war, yet the wound felt as fresh as the moment Papa fell. The morning sun filtered weakly through the clouds and cast long shadows across the family plot. Mamma Rosa clutched the edge of the grave, her body shaking with sobs that came from decades of shared life. She had loved him since they were young, and now she was watching the man who built her world disappear into the ground never to be seen again. Serena trembled beside her, her small hands gripping Mamma Rosa’s dress. Tears streamed down her cheeks without pause. “It is my fault,” she whispered again and again, voice hoarse. “If I had stayed with Mommy, Grandpa would still be here.” Mamma Rosa pulled her closer, but the girl kept straining forward as if s

Chapter: The Cost of WarELENA’S POVThe night exploded without warning.A thunderous boom shook the foundations of the mansion as the front gates were blown apart. Shattering glass and splintering wood rained down while automatic gunfire tore through the air like a deadly storm. “They’re coming!” a guard screamed from the east wing. “They are here. Take cover!” I grabbed Serena’s arm, my heart slamming against my ribs. “Run!” Lorenzo was already moving like a force of nature. He shoved a heavy oak table across the hallway, then spun toward us, eyes blazing with that lethal intensity I knew so well. “Get everyone to the library! Now! Get everyone into the underground bunker through the library!” Matteo crouched beside him, fresh blood soaking through his bandages as he fired short, controlled bursts down the corridor. Papa stood tall next to them, pistol steady in his grip, face carved from granite. Several guards formed a line with them, rifles cracking viciously.Renzo planted his feet next to Lorenzo.

Chapter: No Safe PlaceLORENZO’S POVI buckled Elena into the back seat and helped Serena climb in beside her. My hands moved fast as I checked the doors and scanned the parking lot one last time. Matteo slid behind the wheel with his jaw locked tight. I took the passenger seat and kept my gun ready on my lap.“Drive,” I told him. “Get us out of here as soon as possible.”Matteo pulled away from the hospital curb. The tires gripped the asphalt as we merged into traffic. Elena leaned forward from the back and gripped my shoulder. “What about Renzo? Our son is still out there. What if they go after him too.”She already had her phone out. Her fingers shook as she dialed our son and switched it to speaker. Renzo’s voice filled the car a moment later. “Mom? Is everything okay?”“Where are you right now?” Elena asked. Her voice cracked with panic as she tried hard to hide. “Tell me exactly where you are right now, please.”Renzo sounded confused. “I’m on my way home from basketball practice, Mom. The coach let u

Chapter: Blood Demands BloodENZO’S POVI knelt on the bedroom floor and slipped Serena’s small feet into her polished black shoes. She wiggled her toes inside them and gave me that bright grin that always hit me straight in the chest. At nine years old my daughter already owned every soft part of me. “Daddy, make the left one tighter,” she said and kicked her foot lightly against my hand. I adjusted the strap with care and planted a kiss on her knee. “How does that feel now, princess?” She nodded fast and threw her arms around my neck in a quick hug that smelled like strawberry shampoo. “Perfect. Thank you, Daddy. You are the best.” Elena leaned against the doorframe in her white doctor’s coat, her arms crossed and a soft smile curving her lips. I stood up, crossed the room in two strides, and pulled my wife against me. I kissed her slow and deep, savoring the taste of morning coffee and the steady warmth that had kept me alive through every dark year. My hand rested on the small of her back as I held her c

Chapter: Daddy’s HomeELENA’S POV EIGHT YEARS LATER…. I wiped my hands on the towel and adjusted the last plate on the long oak table. The aroma of roasted herbs and garlic filled the dining room while Maria hummed and slid a basket of warm bread into place. Renzo carried the heavy water pitcher with steady hands, his fifteen-year-old frame already filling out with the same broad shoulders as his father. He worked with purpose, no complaints, just focused on getting the table right.“The corner looks crooked, Mom,” he said, nudging a fork straight with his elbow. I smiled and ruffled his dark hair. “I’m proud of you. Keep helping like this and the extra dessert is yours.” “Mom… I’m not a kid,” he muttered, chuckling. I ruffled his hair again. “You will always be my baby boy.” Mamma Rosa and Papa sat in their usual spots near the head of the table. Eight years had silvered their hair and deepened a few laugh lines, but Papa still carried himself tall, and Mamma Rosa’s eyes sparkled with that familiar

Chapter: Our Happily Ever AfterENZO’S POV Five weeks had passed since the chaotic day our daughter entered the world, and the house now carried a new rhythm of soft cries, late-night feedings, and endless joy. I stood at the doorway of our bedroom and watched Elena nurse little Serena in the rocking chair by the window. Sunlight streamed across her face as she hummed quietly to our baby girl. Serena, our peaceful one. The name fit perfectly after everything we had endured together. She represented the calm we fought so hard to reach, the new beginning we carved out from blood and pain. Elena looked up and smiled when she noticed me. “She finally settled. Come join us.” I crossed the room with the old contract folder in my hand and pulled a chair closer to her. “I found something today while sorting through papers. Do you remember this?” I handed her the document from our early days, the one we signed when our marriage started as a cold arrangement for my inheritance. Elena took it with her free hand and scanned

CLAIMED BY MY MAFIA BODYGUARD
“I know I should stay away from you, Serena. God knows I’ve tried. But every time I tell myself to let you go, I find another reason to come closer.”
************************
He should have never wanted her. He should have never watched her. And he certainly should never have touched her.
But Serena De Luca has always been the one woman Alessio Stefano Ravelli could never stop himself from wanting.
For sixteen years, Serena has lived under a new name, thousands of miles away from home. She built a quiet life for herself, far from the blood, violence, and enemies that once made her family a target. Until her twenty-fifth birthday destroys everything.
When her five-year relationship ends in humiliation, Serena gets involved with a mysterious stranger who knows far more about her than he should.
A stranger who calls her baby girl. A stranger who watches her from the shadows. A stranger she should have feared long before she let herself want him.
When her stalker crosses the final line and breaks into her home, Serena is forced to abandon the life she built and return to Italy. She thinks going home will finally make her safe. She is wrong.
Because waiting for her is Stefano—the cold, dangerously controlled man her brother has assigned to protect her. And he is the same man she spent one unforgettable night with.
Now he’s her bodyguard. The man she can’t stay away from. And the man hiding the darkest secret of all. When Serena discovers the truth, she will have to decide whether the man who hunted her deserves her hatred… or her heart.
Because sometimes the most dangerous man in your life is also the one who would burn the entire world down just to save you.

Chapter: Chapter 007: Shattered SafetySERENA’S POV I stood frozen on the pavement as the crowd noise blurred into a distant roar and my hands trembled so hard I could barely feel my fingers. The knife still lay a few feet away glinting under the afternoon light and every breath scraped my throat raw. This was Italy. This was supposed to be safe. I had only just returned and already someone had come for me with a blade in broad daylight. I had convinced myself the danger belonged to America, that the lonely nights and the feeling of eyes on my back only existed because I was far from my family, from my safe space. Now the truth slammed into me with full force. Whoever hunted me had followed me home. Stefano stepped in front of me, his body still angled toward the direction the attacker had fled. “Are you okay?” he asked, his voice cutting through the fog. I shook my head even as I forced the words out. “I am fine.” The lie tasted bitter. My legs felt like water and my pulse hammered so loud I was sure he could hear

Chapter: Chapter 006: Her BodyguardSTEFANO’S POVI stood three steps from her with the same calm expression I wore for every new assignment. Two nights earlier I had buried myself inside this woman until she came apart under me. I knew exactly who she was when I took that tumbler from her fingers in the bar. I had known my assignment waiting in Italy when I carried her into that room and fucked her until neither of us could think straight. The line had been crossed the moment I answered her reckless request instead of walking away. Now the consequences stood in front of me with wide, stunned eyes and a pulse visible at her throat.“Piacere di conoscerla, signora,” I greeted. “I’m happy to serve you.” The Italian rolled out smooth and professional. I held out my hand to her for a handshake but she did not take it. Recognition burned across her face so clearly that any hope she had been too drunk to remember died on the spot. Her lips pressed into a hard line as color drained then rushed back into her cheeks. The shock

Chapter: Chapter 05: Way Back HomeSERENA’S POV Sixteen years of a carefully built life fit into three cardboard boxes and two suitcases. I sat in the quiet cabin of the private jet with my forehead resting against the cool window and watched clouds slide past in endless white. My legs trembled but I didn’t stand up. The flight from America to Italy took the better part of ten hours. Every minute carried me closer to the house where I had once known what safety felt like before fear and guilt packed me onto a plane at nine years old. I had built walls since then, thick ones. I answered my mother’s calls and my brother’s messages, yet I kept my father at a careful distance, not out of hatred. He had done what he believed was necessary to keep me alive. I simply no longer knew how to reach for him the way the younger version of me once had. The last time they had visited was two years ago and our conversation had ended in raised voices all because I refused to leave the life I had carved out for myself as a writer. I

Chapter: Chapter 004: StalkedSERENA’S POV “Arrrghhhh…!” I groaned as I opened my eyes, holding my head. I felt the fire under my skin, every muscle ached in places I had forgotten could hurt. My thighs throbbed, my hips carried a deep bruised tenderness, my breasts felt sensitive enough that the sheet alone made me flinch. For one blurred second I let myself hope and believe that last night’s events had been a dream, some nightmare marinated with pleasure from a total stranger. But then the soreness I felt brought me back to reality and the unfamiliar ceiling came into focus. The room smelled faintly of rain, clean sheets, and his semen that still clung to my skin. It wasn’t a dream, it was real. I remembered him, his face, the way he had looked at me in the bar. I remembered his low voice as he called me baby girl like the word belonged to him. I remembered the heat of his mouth and the weight of his body, and the way he had refused to stop until I came shamelessly. I turned my head. The other side of the b

Chapter: Chapter 003: Forbidden HungerSTEFANO’S POV This isn’t supposed to happen. Not with her. Not with Serena De Luca. But here I was staring down at her as she lay stretched across the sheets in nothing but that thin lace bra, it’s delicate fabric doing nothing to hide the dark peaks of her nipples. They stood tight and flushed, pushing against the pattern of the lace as if they had been waiting for my mouth. She reached for her the waistline of her thin lace underwear and pulled it down her legs as she stared at me. She tossed the underwear aside and parted her thighs seductively, giving me the view of her bare pussy. Her breathing came quick and shallow while her eyes stayed fixed on me, open and inviting.“Having sex with someone like her is a mistake especially when she’s your….” I tried to caution myself under my breath, but I stopped myself. I knew deep down that this moment was a mistake. Every calculated part of me knew it. Touching her like this crossed a line that could never be walked back. We were neve

Chapter: Chapter 002: Baby GirlSERENA’S POVThe words landed like a quiet blow against the liquor already warming my veins.“You shouldn’t be here, baby girl.”My head turned toward him so fast the room tilted once before steadying. The tumbler rested in his hand where he had taken it cleanly from mine. His eyes stayed fixed on me without apology or softness. The name “baby girl,” pulled something deep and long buried under my ribs. No one had spoken those two words to me in over fifteen years. The sound of them stirred an old playful ache I had not allowed myself to feel since the night everything changed. I forced the sensation down and focused on the man in front of me. The alcohol sat heavy enough to loosen my tongue and blur the sharper edges of tonight’s event, yet left me clear enough to track every shift of his posture and every breath he took. I was not gone. I knew exactly where I sat and what exactly was happening right now. “Who the fuck are you?” My voice came out low and rough from the whiskey. H
