A Mafia’s Trillionaire for Christmas Chapter 116
JEALOUSY AND CONFRONTATION~ ALEXANDRO'S POV ~I was barely out of the Storm Publishing parking lot when I hit Mario's number on speed dial. The phone rang twice before his familiar voice came through the speakers."Missing me already?" Mario's amused tone grated on my nerves."What's the latest on Ethan Miller and his uncle?" I cut straight to the point.There was a pause. "Why are you so heated up? Did pretty boy do something?"I gripped the steering wheel tighter, watching Lauren's building disappear in my rearview mirror. "He looked at her like she was his next meal. Right in front of me. The disrespectful piece of shit thinks he can….”"Whoa, slow down there, Romeo." Mario's laughter filled the car. "Are you seriously calling me because some journalist checked out your girlfriend?""It's not funny, Mario.""It's a little funny. The great Alexandro Castello reduced to a jealous boyfriend." I could practically hear him grinning. "What's next? Are you going to key his motorcycle?""

FIRST DAY AT WORK~ LAUREN'S POV ~ The city streets blurred past the tinted windows of Alexandro's car, but I couldn't focus on anything except the black sedan following us in the rearview mirror. Luca's car. My bodyguard. The thought still felt surreal.My stomach twisted into knots, and I pressed a hand against it, trying to calm the nerves that had been building since I woke up. New Year's always did this to me. Made me anxious about fresh starts and new beginnings.I remembered how Patrick used to tease me about my morning sickness before work. "You act like you're going to war, not journalism," he'd say with that stupid laugh of his. I'd force a smile then, pretending it was funny. Now the memory just made me frown."Lauren."Alexandro's voice cut through my thoughts. I turned to find his green eyes studying me with concern."Everything okay, sweetheart?"I forced a bright smile. "Perfect. Just thinking."He didn't look convinced, but he didn't push. That was one thing I loved

NORMAL DAYS AND HIDDEN TRUTHS~ LAUREN'S POV ~I stared at myself in the bathroom mirror, trying to convince my reflection that everything was normal. That I was just a regular girl getting ready for work. Not someone whose boyfriend had come home last night with blood on his clothes and darkness in his eyes.My phone buzzed against the marble countertop."Finally!" Sophia's voice filled the bathroom through the speaker. "I've been calling you for days. Where have you been hiding?""Sorry," I said, applying mascara with shaky hands. "Things have been... complicated.""Complicated how? And don't you dare give me some vague answer? I'm your best friend, Lauren. I know when you're holding back."I sighed, setting down the mascara wand. Where could I even start? The safe house? The blood? The way Alexandro had looked at me last night like he was memorizing my face?"I moved in with Alexandro," I said instead.Silence. Then: "You WHAT?""I moved into his place. His mansion, actually. It's.

BLOOD AND BETRAYAL~ ALEXANDRO'S POV ~The docks smelled like death and saltwater.I crouched behind a shipping container, checking my Glock one final time. Around me, twelve of my best men waited in the shadows, their faces hard and ready. This wasn't going to be a negotiation. This was war."Radio check," I whispered into my earpiece."Antonio here. The east side is clear.""Mario, south entrance.""All quiet on my end, boss.""Luca, how's our precious cargo?"There was a pause before Luca's voice crackled through. "Safehouse is secure. The ladies are... entertaining each other with some card game. Lauren keeps asking about you."I felt something twist in my chest. Lauren. My reason for being here. My reason for everything."Keep them safe," I said. "Whatever happens tonight, they don't get touched.""Copy that."I turned to Antonio, who was studying the Red Star Maritime building through military-grade binoculars. "How many do you count?""At least fifteen, maybe twenty. They're no

THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE~ ALEXANDRO'S POV ~The warehouse smelled like rust and fear.I stood in the doorway of the underground facility, watching Mario adjust his cufflinks with the same care he'd use to arrange flowers. The contrast was unsettling—his casual elegance against the concrete walls stained with God knows what."Ready?" he asked, not looking up from his sleeves.I nodded, though ready was a relative term. The stitches in my side pulled with every breath, Lauren's worried face haunted my thoughts, and the weight of her ultimatum sat like lead in my chest.‘Choose this life or me.’But some choices weren't choices at all.The two men Viktor's crew had left behind were chained to metal chairs in the center of the room. Both are conscious now, both trying to look braver than they felt. The first was younger, maybe twenty-five, with nervous eyes that kept darting between Mario and me. The second was older, scarred, the type who'd seen enough blood to know what was coming."Gentl

HARSH TRUTHS~ ALEXANDRO'S POV ~The door to the safe house burst open with a bang. Mario rushed in, looking like he'd been through hell. His usually perfect suit was wrinkled, his hair messy, but at least he wasn't bleeding."Thank God," he said, eyes immediately finding me. Then his gaze shifted to Lauren, who was silently packing away the first aid supplies, her movements mechanical. "You're both okay."I finished buttoning a fresh shirt I'd found in the bedroom, wincing as the movement pulled at the fresh stitches in my side. Lauren had done a remarkable job…steady hands despite the tears streaming down her face. Now she moved like a statue, face blank, eyes distant. In shock."What happened?" I asked Mario, keeping my voice low.Mario glanced at Lauren again before answering. "Viktor escaped."I had expected as much. My father was too clever, too cautious to get caught in his own trap. But the confirmation still sent a wave of frustration through me."But we did some damage,"

I CHOSE US~LAUREN'S POV ~I couldn't stop pacing.Back and forth across the hardwood floors of the safe house, my bare feet silent against the cold surface. The silver dress I'd worn to the gala lay discarded on a chair, replaced by a silk nightgown someone had thoughtfully left for me.My phone remained clutched in my hand, screen dark and silent. No messages. No calls. Nothing since those threatening texts from Viktor.I moved to the window, pushing aside the heavy curtain with one finger to peer into the darkness. The safe house was somewhere in upstate New York—Antonio had been deliberately vague about our exact location. A stunning lake house with floor-to-ceiling windows that would have been beautiful under any other circumstances.Right now, it felt like a prison."Ms. McQueen," Antonio's voice came from behind me. "You should try to rest."I turned to find him standing in the doorway, his expression as stoic as ever, but I could see the concern in his eyes."How can I rest?

MIDNIGHT CONFESSIONS~ ALEXANDRO'S POV~The countdown had begun, voices rising around us like a wave."Ten! Nine! Eight!"Lauren looked radiant in my arms, her hazel eyes reflecting the golden light of the chandeliers. All night, I'd been fighting battles on multiple fronts…Julian's machinations, Leonardo's threats, Patrick's jealousy….but here, with her, everything else faded to background noise."Seven! Six! Five!""Are you ready for the new year?" she asked, her voice almost lost in the chanting crowd.Was I ready? For whatever storm was coming? For Viktor's inevitable vengeance once he discovered how much she meant to me? For the moment when she would learn the truth about who I was?"Four! Three!"I cupped her face, my thumb tracing the curve of her cheekbone. She leaned into my touch, trusting and open in a way that made my chest ache. I didn't deserve her trust, but I craved it like oxygen."Two! One!""HAPPY NEW YEAR!"The room exploded in cheers as confetti rained from the

NEW YEAR GALA ~ALEXANDRO'S POV~I watched Lauren from across the ballroom, unable to take my eyes off her. The silver dress she wore caught every light, making her glow as if she were made of stardust. Short enough to show her long legs but still elegant, it hugged every curve of her body perfectly. She had pinned her dark hair up, exposing the graceful line of her neck where my diamond necklace rested against her skin—a Christmas gift that had made her gasp when she had opened it.Mine. The thought settled in my chest, possessive and warm."Castello," Julian Blackwood appeared at my side, uninvited and unwelcome. "Magnificent party, isn't it?"I didn't look at him, keeping my gaze fixed on Lauren as she sipped champagne near the orchestra. "What do you want, Julian?"He chuckled, swirling his drink. "Can't I simply congratulate a fellow businessman on his exquisite taste?" His eyes followed my line of sight to Lauren. "In all things."My jaw tightened. "Careful.""She is stunning
