A chill swept over Ava, and her breath hitched. Something heavy dropped into the pit of her stomach. Her hand rose instinctively to cover her mouth as she stared off, her thoughts spiraling.

Zac noticed instantly. His heart pounded faster, and the scowl carved into his face deepened.

“What happened, Ava?” His voice was low, hard, almost growling. “Tell me, have you met Mia Dawson? Did she say something to you?”

His fists were already curling on the table, knuckles whitening.

Ava’s eyes met Zac’s sharp, storming, relentlessness.

And in that instant, she knew.

If she told him everything about the boutique, about the way Mia Dawson had grabbed her hair and humiliated her in public, Zac wouldn’t just get angry. He would explode.

He’d burn everything down.

But there was no need. Hazel had handled it. And Ava wasn’t about to fan flames that had already died out. Not when Aurora, sweet, innocent Aurora was sitting right there, smiling and completely unaware of the darkness swirling beneath t

  • Acknowledged By A Mafia Leader   Fatal Night

    The pair of six eyes ogled Ava with matching expressions of concern. She, Hazel, Freya, and Caleb were all gathered at their favorite spot in the school restaurant, a table they had unofficially claimed long ago.Ava had finally told them what happened between her and Zac the last time they were together and ever since, she’d been ghosting his calls and ignoring his texts.She simply couldn’t deal with his explosive temper. That day, Zac had scared the living soul out of her, and before he could return from wherever he had stormed off to, she made the decision to leave.But not without taking responsibility, she’d made sure Nick came back to stay with Aurora before slipping away.“Ava, you can’t stay mad at him forever,” Freya was the first to speak, her eyes soft with genuine concern.“It’s good that you’re aware of his anger issues now, Ava. Besides, no sane man would just stand by after finding out what Mia Dawson did to someone he cares about,” Hazel added gently, reaching out to

  • Acknowledged By A Mafia Leader   Craving Ava

    “Zac,” Ava groaned, swatting lightly at his chest. “If you do that, you’ll leave me no choice but to sell them.”“And you’ll leave me no choice but to buy them all over again, Tinkerbell,” he shot back with a wide grin and a bold wink, tugging her firmly against his chest.Ava sighed, the urge to argue dissolving as her gaze met his. She stared into his deep brown eyes, finding herself momentarily speechless.“Don’t give me that look, babe,” he murmured, leaning in until his breath danced at the tip of her nose, hot one moment, cool the next, sending a trail of goosebumps across her skin.“As we speak,” he whispered, “you’ve got full access to this penthouse, baby. So if your little apartment can’t fit all your cars, just come here and take your pick. Anything you want.”Each word fell slow and deliberate as his lips grazed the curve of her neck. The rasp of his stubble against her soft skin made her giggle, half ticklish, half breathless.Ava’s eyes fluttered shut as his warm mouth l

    By now, Zac had dismissed Blake, who bowed slightly, his usual quiet display of respect before departing.Zac then motioned for Nick to come forward.“Yes, boss,” Nick said promptly, hurrying over to where Zac stood.Zac turned slightly, angling his body so Ava wouldn’t overhear their conversation. His voice was low, controlled. “How was the driving lesson?”Nick’s face lit up with enthusiasm. “Honestly? I’m impressed. Ava’s a natural,quick to understand, quick to adapt. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s ready to hit the highway after tomorrow’s session.”Zac’s jaw tightened. His lips pressed into a thin line, and a faint crease formed between his brows.Part of him was genuinely pleased to hear it. He liked efficiency, results, and progress. But the other part of him… the part he kept buried, clenched its fists in silent fury.Why the hell had she smiled at Nick like that?So bright. So carefree.Like she used to smile at him.He wanted to yell, grabbed Nick by the collar and demand t

    He couldn’t quite place what kind of mood he was in at the moment.“Zac, take me with you when you leave. I want to spend the weekend with you and Ava. I miss her so much,” Aurora said brightly, her small hand wrapping around Zac’s large, powerful one.Zac looked down at the little angel and smiled softly, momentarily forgetting that he had been angry just a moment ago.“If that’s what you want, sweetheart,” he replied.Just then, the front door swung open and Mia Dawson stepped into the exquisitely decorated living room. But the instant her eyes met Zac’s, she wished the ground would open up and swallow her whole.Busted.“Mommy!” Aurora squealed with delight, hurrying over to where her mother stood. “Look, I’m going with Zac! I get to see my babysitter again!”A surge of anger bubbled in Mia’s chest. She loathed how her daughter spoke so fondly of that mere nanny, perhaps because the woman had somehow carved out a place in Zac’s otherwise impenetrable heart.How unfortunate. Mia had

  • Acknowledged By A Mafia Leader   True Accusation

    “Are you naturally heartless, or do you just not care about your niece?” Mia Dawson snapped, her voice sharp enough to slice through glass.Zac didn’t flinch. He simply asked, calm and cold, “Are you stalking me now?”Mia opened her mouth, but he cut her off before a word could escape.“How did you find out I’m in the office on a Saturday morning, Mia?”She paused, caught off guard, her brain scrambling for an excuse.“It doesn’t matter,” she snapped. Her voice rose with emotion. “Tell me, Zac, have you really been so busy that you couldn’t pick up the phone? Not once? Since Aurora left your house, have you even tried to check on her? What kind of uncle are you?”From where he stood behind Zac, Blake tried and failed to keep the smirk off his lips as he watched Mia’s fury unravel.“She’s been sick, Zac. Really sick for days. But of course you wouldn’t know that,” she continued, bitter heat pouring from every word. “Because you’re too wrapped up in her nanny.”Something shifted in Zac’
