Dante

The morning sun in Switzerland filtered through the blinds, casting faint shadows on the walls of my room. I could hear the soft rustle of the doctor’s steps as he approached, the sound of his pen against paper marking the minutes of the day.

He checked my legs again. The usual procedure. Move them, bend them, stretch them. He seemed pleased with the progress. I could feel it too. There was a slight improvement in my strength. I could move a little better, though the weakness still lingered, a reminder of how fragile everything had become.

“You’re doing well,” the doctor said, his tone almost cheery. “You’ll be back on your feet in no time.”

I nodded but didn’t respond. I wasn’t sure I believed him. My body wasn’t the only thing that needed healing. There were things deeper than the physical that needed time to fix.

He shifted his weight and glanced at the window. “Any thoughts on when you’ll return home?”

I took a breath, adjusting myself on the bed. “Not yet.”

  • Betrayed And Sold To The Mafia King   The Accusation

    ValeriaThe moment the doors shut behind us, my mother threw the bag onto the dining table. The sound of it hitting the wood echoed across the room. Notes spilled everywhere, sliding off the edge and scattering onto the floor.She pointed at them with shaking hands. “This is what you gave me!” she said loudly. “You think I wouldn’t find out? You think you can fool me?”I didn’t move. I watched her without expression. My brother stood beside her, his eyes moving between us nervously.“I told you already,” I said. “That money was real when I gave it to you.”She laughed harshly. “Don’t lie to me, Valeria! The bank said it’s all fake. You sent a man with this. Maybe you told him to switch it. Or maybe you wanted to humiliate us. Either way, I want him gone. Fire him right now.”She was shaking with anger, but behind it I could see something else. Fear. She didn’t know how far I would go or what I would say.I took a slow breath. “Fine,” I said quietly. “Let’s find out.”I turned toward N

  • Betrayed And Sold To The Mafia King   The Noise at the Gate

    Valeria“Let me in! You think you can lie to me? Valeria!”At first, I thought I had imagined it, but then I heard the guards yelling back. Boots moved fast across the gravel outside, and the heavy gate rattled.I stood up from my chair in the study and walked toward the window. I didn’t need to look twice. The voice was my mother’s.More shouting followed. “You gave us fake money!” she screamed. “You think you can buy your family with paper? I want my daughter, and I want what’s mine!”My stomach turned, but not from fear. I felt something colder — disbelief mixed with anger. I had expected many things from her, but not this.I left the study and made my way down the long hallway toward the front of the house. The noise grew louder with each step. The guards at the main door were already lined up, tense and waiting for my orders.“Who’s outside?” I asked, though I already knew.“Your mother, ma’am,” one of them said. “She’s causing a scene. The boy’s with her too. Should we remove th

  • Betrayed And Sold To The Mafia King   The morning call

    ValeriaBreakfast that morning was quiet. The dining room was bright from the sunlight streaming through the tall windows, but my mind was somewhere else. For the first time in days, the house felt calm. The guards spoke softly outside, the maids moved quietly between rooms, and everything seemed steady.I sat at the table with a cup of tea and a small plate of toast. The papers beside me were filled with reports from the last week—shipment records, balance sheets, and updates from the men running Dante’s overseas business. I had gone through half of them when I finally leaned back and took a sip of tea.For a moment, I allowed myself to breathe. Things had been moving fast since the night my family left. The silence they left behind had given me peace, but it also left space for thoughts I didn’t want to face—thoughts of Dante.He hadn’t called since the night before his surgery. There were no updates. No messages. Nico kept assuring me that everything was under control, but I didn’t

  • Betrayed And Sold To The Mafia King   The dinner that changed everything

    ValeriaI sat in the parlor waiting. The clock on the wall ticked softly, and the sound filled the quiet room. The house had been calm all day, but my mind was not. I had made my decision that morning after thinking about the lie they had told. I wasn’t going to shout or seek revenge in anger. I wanted them to see what I had become and understand that I no longer belonged to the world they came from.I decided not to confront them at the hospital. I wanted them to come to me. That evening, I called my mother and told her to bring my brother to the estate. Her voice trembled when she answered. I could hear hesitation and fear, but she agreed after a few seconds of silence.After the call, I told the staff to prepare a simple dinner. Nothing extravagant, just enough to make a statement. I chose the main dining room instead of the private one. I wanted them to see what real power looked like.As the sun went down, the estate filled with the low hum of preparation. The kitchen staff moved

  • Betrayed And Sold To The Mafia King   The lie that fell apart

    Valeria I didn’t look back once. My guards followed a few steps behind me, quiet as always. When the car door opened, I got in without saying a word. The door shut, and the sound cut off the noise from the street.The driver started the engine, and we pulled away from the curb. I sat in the back seat, staring out the window as the city passed by in flashes of gray and gold. My thoughts were louder than the traffic.I replayed everything that had happened in that hospital room—the crying, the begging, the shaking hands. My mother’s tears, my brother’s anger, my father’s pale face. Every detail repeated in my mind, but what bothered me most wasn’t the pain. It was the tone in the doctor’s voice. Something about it didn’t sound right.It had been too smooth, too rehearsed, like someone reading from a script. I knew lies when I heard them. I’d lived around liars long enough to tell the difference between fear and fiction.The car hit a bump, and I snapped out of my thoughts. The driver l
