“It feels good to finally meet you face to face, Mr. Zachary Gonzalez.”

The low, gruff voice cut through the stillness of the dimly lit car, where only the silhouettes of the two men reflected faintly in the window.

Zachary gave a slow, disinterested nod. His eyes didn’t stray from the man beside him, someone who looked slightly older, more refined under the dim overhead light. The man wore a tailored black suit, his presence calm but calculating.

“I’ve heard a lot about you,” the man continued, his thick Russian accent coating every word. “I hope I won’t regret doing business with you.”

Zac’s jaw flexed slightly, the dialect grating on his nerves but his expression remained unreadable. Stoic and unshaken.

Without a word, he lifted his hand and calmly unfastened the button of his suit jacket, the movement deliberate.

“Shall we get to business, Mr. Igor?” he asked flatly, his voice low and even.

The man, Igor, grinned, clearly entertained by Zachary’s lack of warmth.

  • Acknowledged By A Mafia Leader   A Back to Lean On

    THREE WEEKS LATERNick watched as night gradually settled in, and Ava was still asleep. She had woken up twice to use the bathroom, and each time, he had managed to get her to eat… it was such a difficult task to do.She didn’t want to eat. Nick wasn’t sure what her food preferences were, but one thing he did know was that Ava used to love croissants.Now, however, she said croissants made her feel nauseous, and even the smell of salad turned her stomach. It hadn’t been easy for him. When he mentioned it to Reid, Reid suggested she might be sick, but Ava kept insisting she was fine.“I’m hungry, Nick,” her sleepy voice broke into his thoughts.Nick jumped to his feet, grinning. “Right away, Princess. Go back to your room and wait.”Ava returned to her room but fell asleep again. Nick went out to get the food, then woke her gently when he returned. She ate, then drifted back to sleep. With a quiet sigh, Nick left the room.The following noon, Ava walked into the kitchen and found Nick

    Another gunshot rang out, louder and more forceful this time. Ava trembled uncontrollably, whimpering softly as she pressed her hand over her mouth.Suddenly, Zac’s face was close to hers. He grabbed her arm tightly. “Don’t get out of this car no matter what, Ava. Don’t come out, got it?” His eyes pleaded with her.Ava nodded sharply and squeezed his hand as he reached to open the door. “Be careful, please,” she whispered, her eyes filling with tears.He smiled, leaned in, and kissed the top of her head. “I love you. Don’t ever forget that, okay?”Without waiting for her reply, he pushed the door open and stepped out.Three black SUVs approached slowly. Inside were men dressed entirely in black, their faces covered like ninjas.“Son of a bitch, Walker,” Zac cursed under his breath. Suddenly, a grunt escaped him as a sharp pain struck his left arm.More than ten men appeared out of nowhere, separate from those in the vehicles.“Damn,” Zac snorted, firing quickly and taking down most of

    They had barely settled when Zac stood up again, his eyes catching sight of his bosses approaching. Five men in black suits walked toward them, but the one in the center clearly held the most authority. His presence was cold and commanding.Zac gave a slight bow in greeting.“You haven’t entered Mexico in a while, Zac. What’s going on?” Dante Albert asked in a hard tone. He was the ruthless capo dei capi of the most powerful and dangerous Mexican-American Mafia.“I haven’t received any orders to do so, Capo,” Zac replied politely.The Capo nodded slowly, casting a brief glance at the timid Ava seated beside Zac before walking away, the others following closely behind.“Oh my goodness. I can’t believe I nearly peed my pants just from that man’s presence,” Ava said as soon as Zac returned to his seat.“Why does he look so terrifying, Zac? And what’s with those awful scars all over his face? Oh my… I think I need to use the restroom,” she added, getting to her feet and softly patting her

    By the time Ava finished freshening up, she was stunned to see that Zac had completely changed into a different outfit. He looked like he was heading out.“Going somewhere?” Ava asked as she studied him closely.With a height well over six feet, a strong build, a sharply defined jaw, raven-black hair, and an undeniably handsome face, he looked like every girl’s dark fantasy.“I need to attend an important party, but I’ll be back before you know it,” Zac said gently, closing the distance between them and pressing a kiss to her forehead.Ava stared at him, as if what he said made no sense. “You’re going to a party without me?”“Yes, baby. It would be a lot better if you didn’t come with me,” Zac said with a small smile.“But I want to come with you. And if you keep insisting I shouldn’t, then it means you’re hiding something from me,” Ava replied firmly, her eyes sharp with suspicion.Zac let out a scoff of disbelief. “What could I possibly be hiding from you after everything we’ve been

    The table was elaborately decorated with fresh flowers, and an impressive spread of pastries, wine, and drinks covered its length. The entire dining hall glowed with elegance and warmth, echoing the care put into every detail.From the corner of her eye, Ava spotted Zac emerging from a quiet part of the house. Concern tugged at her chest, and she walked over to him.“Where have you been? Are you okay?” she asked gently, her voice laced with worry.Zac gave a curt nod. “Yeah. I’m fine,” he replied quietly.Together, they stepped into the hall and took their seats at the long dining table. The atmosphere buzzed with conversation and laughter. Glasses clinked, stories were exchanged, and warm smiles circled the room.Only Zac remained silent. He ate slowly, eyes lowered to his plate, clearly disconnected from the merriment around him.Genevieve noticed, but said nothing. She didn’t attempt to draw him into conversation either. At that moment, anyone with a clear sense of awareness could

    The car glided to a halt within the vast, sprawling compound that cradled the grand duplex that held mild of Zac’s childhood memories.The chauffeur stepped out and opened the door for Zac, who emerged with quiet composure. His shoes touched the familiar pebble driveway, and with each echoing footfall, memories of his early years with his mother played through his mind, the little moments that had meant the most.Ava, sensing his mood, remained silent and walked closely beside him.As they neared the grand entrance, the massive wooden door adorned with intricate carvings stood tall before them. Zac took a deep breath, pushed it open, and stepped inside with Ava just behind him.“Surprise!”A chorus of jubilant voices erupted as Zac crossed the threshold, the familiar scent of home wrapping around him like a warm embrace.Zac froze at the entrance, his brows knitting in confusion as he scanned the room. Ava stood beside him, exchanging a puzzled glance with him.“Zac!”Aurora’s tiny vo
