SOFIA

The best thing about waking up on a Saturday morning was that you didn’t have to do anything for a very long time. You could just sit here and enjoy the last few moments of silence before you had to do anything. And I lived for moments like that.

I rolled over and stretched lazily as I slowly opened my eyes, and my heart immediately leapt when for a brief moment I thought that Adrian was still in the apartment. But then I remembered that he’d left around 9pm, and just thinking about it made me sad. I wished I could wake up to him sleeping beside me, and I wondered how handsome he would look in that moment.

Slowly, I rolled out of bed and dragged my feet to the bathroom. It took me a while to get ready, and even though I wanted nothing more than to lay in bed all day, I had a job to do.

I had to somehow track down Hector Alonzo.

The fact that Adrian only gave me a name still pissed me the fuck off. How was I supposed to find someone with no lastknown address, no date of birth,

  • Becoming The Mafia Queen   70. The Bonding

    SOFIAI hated the cane I was forced the carry in the days after the attack. I hated the way it clicked against the marble floors like a constant reminder of how close I came to dying. And I hated the way it made me feel tiny and weak, like I didn't belong in a place like this anymore.But I kept walking, praying to God that those fucking assassins were burning in hell right now for what they did to me. The east wing of the DeLuca estate was quiet that morning, and flooded with soft sunlight from the tall and arched windows lining the hallway. It had always been the most secluded part of the house, usually reserved for distant relatives and long-term guests. But now, it was mine. Adrian had already arranged everything before I woke up, and a team of movers were stationed outside the suite he had assigned to me, carrying boxes from the black van parked out front. Most of my things from the apartment had already been delivered, including my clothes, books, shoes, and the silver-framed

    SOFIAAriana reacted before I even finished her name. She flung herself off the table just as the fake masseuse lunged with a blade, slashing the air where her neck had been seconds ago. The second woman turned to me with her eyes narrowed, and I scrambled backward, crashing off the massage bed and hitting the tiled floor with a sharp grunt.There was no time to think. I just had to move and find a way to get out of this without losing my neck. Adrenaline burned through my veins as I shoved a rolled towel rack into her path, slowing her down for just a second. I got to my feet with my heart pounding against my ribs like a war drum. I saw Ariana in my peripheral vision already fighting off her attacker with brutal efficiency. Her pocketknife flashed as she blocked a strike, then drove her shoulder into the woman's sternum, knocking her into the glass wall with a sickening crunch.Mine was still coming with a sickening smile on her face, he was enjoying this. She knew I wasn’t as strong

  • Becoming The Mafia Queen   68. The Spa

    SOFIAThe second Ariana got into the car, she tossed her sunglasses into the cup holder and threw her arms around me. And just like that, I knew we were going to be okay. "God, you have no idea how good it feels to be back," she said, flashing me that grin I hadn't seen in months. "I’ve missed the way this city feels."I laughed as I pulled away from the DeLuca estate as I said, "You're such a drama queen.""Says the mafia princess," she shot back, elbowing me lightly. "So, tell me everything. How's it feel being one of the big bad Capi now?""Terrifying," I admitted. "And extremely overwhelming and confusing. It feels like I'm wearing someone else's shoes and hoping nobody notices they don't fit. And to be honest, I lowkey hate your brother for doing this to me. You know he didn’t even tell me about his decision, right? I just found out with the rest of the crew. “That sounds about right,” Ariana said. “The man thinks with his pinkie. I’m pretty sure he didn’t even know he wanted y

  • Becoming The Mafia Queen   67. The Life of A Capo

    SOFIAI woke up to the annoying sound of my phone buzzing against the pillow beside me. For a second, I wasn't even sure where I was. Then I blinked and rolled over, and I realized that I was back in my room. The sheets were twisted around my legs, the sun was way too high in the sky, and my phone screen was glowing bright with notifications.There were three missed calls from Tony, and one from Leo. And there was a text from Tony that just said:"Call me when you're up. It’s important."I didn't even bother brushing my teeth first. I called him immediately, dragging myself out of bed as it rang."Hey," I croaked."Good morning," Tony's voice came through, calm and composed as ever. "Adrian told us to start bringing you up to speed today. Me and Leo are meeting you at the warehouse you'll be running. Do you think you can get to Brooklyn in an hour? I’ll send you the location.""Sure,” I replied. “I'll be there.""Good,” he said. “And please don't be late. Leo's already being a bitch a

  • Becoming The Mafia Queen   66. The Alliance

    MARCOThe thing about winning is that nobody ever bothered to ask what it took out of you. They just saw the power, the control, the confidence in your walk, and they assume it has always been that way. But they never saw the hours you spend planing out the perfect strategy, or the dozens of knives you got stabbed with in your back. They didn't know the nights you spent lying awake because couldn't sleep because some piece on the chessboard had moved without your permission.Which is why when a plan finally comes together, it feels so fucking great. I lit a cigarette as I stepped out of the car and flicked the ash into the wind with a slight chuckle escaping before I could stop it. The warehouse loomed in front of me, and it was an ugly, grey, and plain building. bBut for now, it was home to something very beautiful. I'd only recently turned it into a safe house, and I didn't even know if I would end up using it. But now, it was exactly what I needed. Two of my men flanked the door,

  • Becoming The Mafia Queen   65. The First Domino

    SOFIAThe hardest part about watching the video was having to sit there and pretend that I did not recognize the man I was looking at. My blood was boiling at the mere sight of him, and I felt my knees start to wobble as I tried so hard to stay calm. Marco Giordano, the bastard who had taken everything from me. The son of a bitch who had ruined my entire life, and now he was actively trying to ruin my plans as well. How did he find out about Hector? How did he know exactly when to hit the transport? And more importantly, what exactly was he plotting?I looked up to find Adrian staring intently at me, and for a split second I imagined I had absentmindedly given myself away. What if he realized that I knew who Marco was?But no, that couldn't be possible. I'd been extremely careful. My expression was completely blank the entire time, and there was no way he could have figured out the truth just by looking at me. Now, it was time to sell my role even better. "Who is he?" I asked, hand
