Milene’s POV

"Did you kill him?"

My voice trembled as I stood,my hands shaking. He had , just before reaching for the door.

Silence filled the space between us.

He didn’t turn immediately.

"He betrayed me," Angelo said at last, without looking over his shoulder. The words dropped like a blade.

That was it.

No denial.

No explanation.

Just those three damning words.

He turned his head slightly, just enough for me to see a bit of his expression, unreadable. Cold even.

"Milene, there are things in this world you don't understand," he said softly. "Things I do to keep people in line. To keep you safe."

"Safe?" I spat, the word bitter on my tongue. "You think killing someone makes me feel safe?"

"It makes sure no one crosses me again. No one touches what’s mine."

And there it was again.

What’s mine.

As if I were just another object in his collection. A trophy wife, bought and shelved.

"He was a traitor," he added, voice low, almost too calm. "That’s what happens to people like him

  • Auctioned to the mafia land   Chapter 9

    Angelo POV “You know what comes next after the lord” I start laughing The man shivering in front of me “I really did deliver it...” “Why didn’t they see it” I roared “This is exactly what betrayal looks like” the fool keeps staring at me like loyalty alone can save him but loyalty without action or result is nothing “Enzo give me …” I say and immediately I was handed my gun “I swear, please I swear on my lif..” “Don’t bother to swear on your life” I cut him off. “You don’t have that anymore” he starts talking and blabbering, I think something about having a wife and family or something, it doesn’t matter. Bang. “Clean up this area” I said flatly and immediately, my men start cleaning the area, dragging the blood covered body out of the room, they are used to this already, they know where exactly to bury the bodies or burn if necessary “Enzo” I called, not turning to look, I didn’t need to. “I want a detailed report on how the gem got missing” ‘Yes boss’, he replied immediate

  • Auctioned to the mafia land   Chapter 8

    Milene’s POVDisappointed.. that is the word to describe my current situation. Pretending like I knew what was going on while trying to figure things out is one of the hardest stunts to pull.The rumbling of my tummy reminded me about breakfast. Mara had long left me, so I had to make my way to the dinning which was not hard to find. I met one of the workers setting the cutleries in the dining room.I made my way to one of the seats while she continued “Breakfast would be served shortly..” she said.After breakfast, I decided to clear my head. The walls of my room were starting to feel too tight, too close. I needed to move, breathe, think.Mara had reminded me of the meeting with Carlo. So I needed to go see him at the garden, but instead of heading there, I decided to just wander around the hallways, tryung to figure out the maze like building myself until I eventually got lost.At first, I thought I could find my way back easily. But every hallway looked identical with gold accents

  • Auctioned to the mafia land   Chapter 7

    Milene’s POVThe soft morning light filtered into my room, but I didn’t feel rested. I had barely slept too much on my mind, too many questions. What exactly had mum gotten us into or should I say me?A knock on the door jolted me out of bed. Before I could answer, Mara stepped in.“Mr. Moretti requests your presence downstairs,” she said. “He wants to introduce you to the staff.”Introduce me?I nodded silently and slipped into the clothes, she laid out a simple white blouse and tailored black slacks. It was modest but expensive. My hands traced the lines of the stitch and from it I felt out of place. I am supposed to be used to clothings like this but I had long abandoned them because of the debts. I could also so I wore more tailored clothes like this to tea parties than I did roaming around my father’s mansion.Mara led me through the hallways again, I followed her close and the sound of our steps echoed in the hallways. As we entered the main foyer, I saw them, the staff. Lined u

  • Auctioned to the mafia land   Chapter 6

    Milene’s POVThe silence inside the car was heavy, almost suffocating. Angelo sat beside me, typing something on his phone with an intensity that made it clear he was used to being in control of everything.I kept my gaze out the window, watching the city blur past. The farther we went, the fewer buildings I recognized. The streetlights became sparse, and the roads smoother, more private. My mother’s words echoed in my head: “He’ll bring you home after the event.” But something in my gut said that wasn’t entirely true.“Are you hungry?” he asked suddenly.I startled, looking at him. “No,” I replied too quickly. My voice sounded thin.He gave me a brief look — unreadable — then tapped on the console in front of him. “Stop at Le Doré. Pick up dinner,” he told the driver.“Yes, sir.”I folded my arms, trying to steady myself. “Where are we going?”“To my house. For now.”“For now?” My fingers curled into my dress. “My mother said I needed to go with you to an event.”He tilted his head,

  • Auctioned to the mafia land   Chapter 5

    Milene’s POVWhat is he talking about? I looked at my mother for answers but she turned away smiling widely at this stranger whose name seemed familiar but sketchy.“Go with him to where?” I whispered to my mother but she just ignored me but I could swear that she heard me. I should have known that there was something wrong when I walked passed the doors and then saw how empty the place was, I should have known that there was something sketchy when the guards in the compound were more than the cars parked in it.“Why is he asking if I am ready to go with him?” I asked again but this time around my voice is a little bit audible and my mother finally spared me a look, I could also feel the gaze from the stranger.“I told you to talk this over with her before coming here, thought my words were clear enough” he barked sending chills down my spine..“I ...I did” my mum stutteredI have never heard my mum sound this scared or even stutter “I think she is acting up because she is nervous” sh
