OLIVIA

“Mum…” I called tearfully, leaning forward to hold her hand. “I missed you so much.”

She laughed softly, but it wasn’t the same.

Nothing about her was.

Her face was thinner, her skin too pale, her hair longer than I remembered, falling weakly around her shoulders.

For a second, it didn’t feel real. It felt like if I blinked, she’d be gone again.

“Olivia…” Her voice was fragile, but her smile lingered on her trembling lips. “You… you came.”

I nodded quickly, wiping at my face with the b

  • BOUND TO THE MAFIA LORD   Broken.

    AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI“I still have no idea why you wanted me to come with you,” Viper said the moment I pulled up at the Morettis’ estate.I tutted, turned off the car, and opened the door to step out. My eyes stared at the building, heaving a deep sigh before responding.“Because I don’t trust Isabella.”The sound of his door slamming shut echoed before his voice did. “What difference does my presence make?”I led the way, walking briskly with my car keys jingling in my grasp. “A lot.”Viper walked behind me while I grabbed the entrance door and pushed it open, exposing the huge living room where I always waited for Olivia.I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that she’d just pick up her things to leave.Was she really serious when she said I’d never see her again?She’d even blocked me. Since I hung up the call with Isabella and drove down here, I tried to reach Olivia, calling her frantically to hear her voice.Even dialed her number with Viper’s phone repeatedly, but it w

It felt like if I blinked, she’d be gone again.“Olivia…” Her voice was fragile, but her smile lingered on her trembling lips. “You… you came.”I nodded quickly, wiping at my face with the back of my hand. She tried to push herself up, but her body didn’t quite follow.She slipped back and winced slightly at the unsuccessful attempt to sit upright. I gulped down a painful swallow, my eyes twitching.“Hey… no, don’t…” I moved closer immediately, sliding an arm behind her shoulders and helping her sit carefully and slowly. “Easy… I’ve got you.”She sank back against the pillow, her breaths slipping out sharply.“The doctor said…” She coughed, the sound dry and weak. “Said I’ve been…

    AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI.“She’s really not going to call me?” I tossed my phone back to the table frustratingly. “It’s been what? A week?”Rosa poured warm water over the tea bag inside the cup she had, her lips curling into a small smile. She’d been making me drink that for days now.“You’re the princess now,” Viper sneered sarcastically. “The tiara I got you is on the way.”Rosa chuckled. Both of them were on Olivia’s side, blaming me for not making the first move by reaching out.And I was tired of hearing them speak sarcastically like I wasn’t the one left hurting. She’d broken up with me, remember?“Fuck you, Ansel,” I hissed.Dropping the kettle in her hands, Rosa reached for the teacup, stretching it over to me while adding.“If you’re okay with her absence, then you shouldn’t bother about her reaching out.”I reluctantly accepted the cup, the strong smell of chamomile hitting my nostrils.“So, it’s a dead end if I don’t reach out.”“She knows her worth,” Viper chipped in, taking

  • BOUND TO THE MAFIA LORD   Back into the past.

    OLIVIAIt had been one week since Alix went missing and five days since I received that call.The caller refused to state what he wanted in exchange for my baby’s release but kept calling with different numbers, deliberately torturing me emotionally.I’d done everything—everything I could possibly think of: begged, cried, even offered myself in exchange, but…I wanted to call Axel and tell him. I wanted to push aside our differences and work together. There were times where I’d stare at my phone, hoping he’d call me with another number… hoping he’d at least find a way to reach out…But he didn’t. And I didn’t bother to reach out because he’d believed that Alix wasn’t his son. Also, if I needed to heal faster, then I’d have to completely stop caring about him, wondering and thinking about what he was doing in my absence.“He called again this morning,” I said over the phone, stirring my tea even though the sugar had long dissolved. “It was a different number this time… again.”Matteo

  • BOUND TO THE MAFIA LORD   Situations are stirring.

    AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI.“Maybe I was wrong,” Viper said, retrieving a cigarette stick from its box. “I thought it was Nelly behind the scenes.”I paced around, my thoughts ruminating. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, it actually did.“Leonardo is going to die by my hands,” I growled. “I swear.”“Calm down now. You don’t know if he’s really behind the abduction.”I scoffed, dragging my palms over my face. Hearing about his plumbing company wasn’t the only thing that left me surprised; it was the people involved with him.I spun around, ignoring the sight of Viper giving fire to the cigarette pressed tightly against his lips. I wondered if Olivia knew her so-called ex-fiancée was the main suspect behind our son’s attack. And that her sister was having an affair with him.Yeah, I said that.Grant had found more information about Isabella being one of the operation managers in the plumbing company.He’d sent private photos of them spending time together. Intimate photos that

  • BOUND TO THE MAFIA LORD   Falling apart.

    OLIVIA“Where are you going, Red?”Matteo asked as I dragged my luggage out of the house and towards the car. I’d only packed a few things because I wasn’t sure how long I’d be away.“Milan,” I responded, opening the car’s trunk. “I’ll be staying at the penthouse there until I leave for Willowcreek.”“I shouldn’t be asking this,” he muttered. “But why are you leaving?”I sighed, staring at the pink luggage while I hesitated to close the trunk. Things were going south. I’d broken off the engagement, Alix was missing, and my mother…She wanted to see me. After years of being in a coma and responding to treatment, she was finally awake.And with all the emotional stress happening with me, I needed my mother for support.Leaving was the only thing that felt right. I didn’t want to be in the same place as Axel. It would take much longer for me to move on without having him disrupt it with an unexpected visit.I finally found the strength to shut the trunk and walk into the driver’s seat.

    AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI.Two days later…“Sei pronto?” [Are you ready?]Viper asked me, peeking in from the door.Was I ready? Maybe. I wasn’t sure anymore.I stared at the mirror for what felt like the thousandth time, and for the first time since I could remember—I prayed.Nothing much, just a littl

    AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI.“Ace?” Her voice sounded surprised. “You’re here?”I knew she could tell that something had snapped in me. I’d seen what she’d done to Olivia, the bruises that lingered all over her once perfect, clear skin.How could someone act so evil? So callous and inhuman?All for what?
