“Come over here. Don’t just stand there,” Emma said, her voice gently cutting through Ava’s hesitation.

Ava swallowed hard, then quietly left the spot she’d been rooted to and made her way toward the dining table.

She sat down slowly, cautiously, keeping her eyes on her mother, who was now settling into the seat across from her, still wearing that unsettlingly soft smile.

“I hope I didn’t interrupt anything. Maybe you were in class or—”

“No, Mom,” Ava cut in, her voice low. “You didn’t interrupt anything. So… can you please tell me why you asked me to come home?”

Her tone wasn’t harsh, but it lacked warmth, neutral, just distant.

Emma lowered her gaze for a second, then lifted her eyes to meet Ava’s directly. Her stare was firm, almost searching.

“You’re my daughter, Ava,” she said in a matter-of-fact tone. “And I believe that regardless of the ups and downs between us you should be able to tell me personal things. Things that matter.”

Ava frowned, her brows pulling together. “I don’t

  • Acknowledged By A Mafia Leader   Too Good To Be True

    “To spy on us? To leak our plans? To hand over our strategies to your man so he can snatch another one of our big deals?”No matter how hard Ava tried to push the words out of her heart, they kept echoing in her mind relentlessly, frustratingly.The tension had built up so much that she finally gave in and called Zac. But to make matters worse, he hadn’t answered. Not a single call.He was probably busy but that didn’t make it any easier.Now, stuck in heavy traffic, the crawling pace only heightened her irritation. In a moment of raw frustration, Ava slammed her hand against the steering wheel, her nostrils flaring.If only there were some kind of magic to teleport her home right this second. Anything to escape this moment.“Ah!” she exhaled sharply, slumping back into the driver’s seat, eyes fixed blankly on the congested road ahead.Then her phone rang. The sound jolted her upright as she lunged for it.But when her eyes met the screen, her heart dropped, not completely, just a lit

  • Acknowledged By A Mafia Leader   The Girlfriend of the Enemy

    Reid.He was tall, broad, and unmissable. And from the hard set of his jaw and the frown carved deep into his features, it was clear he wasn’t pleased to see her either.His hands were buried in his pockets as he stood still, staring up at her in silence.But behind that cold exterior, a storm churned quietly in Reid’s chest. Because no matter how hard he tried to mask it, he couldn’t help but admire Ava’s effortless beauty. She was like no other woman he’d ever known. Elegant, magnetic, and those curves…Reid had to admit Ava was a woman with the beauty of seven. Grace, charm, and a presence that could silence a room. But none of that made him like her. Not one bit.To him, she was the reason his boss had changed, become softer, distracted, dangerously unlike himself. Ever since Ava walked into Zac’s life, everything had shifted. And not for the better.Ava, on the other hand, felt a wave of discomfort rise from the pit of her stomach the moment she saw Reid. Her gaze darted away fro

    “I love you too, Caleb.”Her voice trembled slightly, but her eyes didn’t waver, they stayed locked on his, blue to brown, soul to soul.However, Caleb’s expression shifted to one of stunned awe as Freya’s confession hung in the air. He instinctively took a step back, his eyes wide, his features revealing everything he felt but had never voiced.He had always suspected Freya saw him only as a friend. Despite his countless efforts to win her heart with reason, patience, and quiet admiration, she’d repeatedly brushed him off. He was the nerd, the safe choice. Not the kind of guy who made her heart race, not her type.“I know this is sudden,” Freya said softly, her voice trembling. Her eyes never left his. “And I understand if you’re overwhelmed right now.”She swallowed hard, her vulnerability raw. “But it’s the truth. I’ve tried, God knows I’ve tried to stop my heart from choosing you. You’re completely out of my league, and I’ve tried to convince myself of that every day…”Her voice c

    Ava hadn’t even finished speaking before Zac silenced her with his lips.He kissed her with all the pent-up emotion burning inside him, raw, urgent, and desperate. His mouth moved over hers like he couldn’t get enough, like he was trying to tell her with his kiss everything he couldn’t say aloud.At first, Ava didn’t move, startled by the intensity. But then, with a breathy sound of surrender, she melted into him, kissing him back just as hungrily.Zac’s hand found her waist, pulling her even closer, while the other slid up to cradle the back of her head. His mouth devoured hers, the kiss deepening, wild, needy, reverent.Like a starving man who had finally found the one thing he craved most.And in the heated moments that followed, their hands fumbled with buttons and zippers, helping each other out of their clothes until there was nothing left between them but skin and love.***A bright, beaming smile lit up Freya’s beautiful face as she stepped out of the cab. She handed the drive

  • Acknowledged By A Mafia Leader   Unwelcome at the Door

    Zac was here, and for that reason alone, Ava held back. She bit down her frustration, choosing instead to respect his presence. She’d give Charlotte the money just to finally buy a moment of peace.Slamming the door shut in her sister’s face, Ava bolted it and turned back toward the room only to stop in her tracks.Zac was already sitting up on the bed, holding out a handful of bills toward her.Clearly, he’d heard everything. And from the look on his face, he wasn’t exactly charmed by Charlotte’s sudden appearance either.Ava offered him a grateful smile and mouthed, “Thank you.” With a playful wink, she took the money from his hand and quickly walked back to the door.She pulled it open just enough and extended the cash.“Here,” she said bluntly. “Now can I have my peace?”There was no softness in her voice, just pure irritation. Her face said the rest.But Charlotte, either oblivious or indifferent, didn’t seem to care. Her eyes widened at the sight of the cash in Ava’s hand.“Wow,
