Valeria

I woke up with a pounding headache. My eyes fluttered open, and pain shot through my head, making me wince. I pressed my hands to my temples, trying to ease the ache. And my body felt heavy, like though I’d been hit by something hard. Memories of what happened flooded back, sharp and painful. The taxi, the masked men, the gunshot and the driver’s lifeless body.

My heart raced, and I gasped, sitting up fast. My arm hurt where they’d grabbed me, and my throat was dry. I looked around, confused, and my jaw dropped. I was in the opposite of what I would have ever imagined I’d been, after that. I was in a big, fancy hotel room, lying on a huge bed with soft sheets. The room had shiny furniture, a big window with a view of the ocean, and a chandelier sparkling above me. This wasn’t the mansion. This wasn’t Dante’s place. Where was I?

I heard a voice from another room, low and serious, talking on the phone. I froze, my heart pounding again. I knew that voice. I’d recognize it anywher

  • Betrayed And Sold To The Mafia King   The Unexpected Encounter

    ValeriaI had just stepped out of the room when I felt the weight of the evening settle into my bones. The meeting with Salvatore Romano had been quick but intense. He was powerful—unmistakably so—but I wasn’t about to let that shake me.Nico was by my side as we entered the elevator. I pressed the button, and we both stood in silence for a few moments. The elevator started its descent, the soft hum of the machinery filling the quiet. Nico glanced at me but didn’t say anything at first.“Are you okay?” Nico finally asked. His voice was low, concerned.I glanced at him. “I’m fine.”“Don’t sound so sure,” he replied, his gaze steady. “You’ve been through a lot today. What exactly did Salvatore want?”I turned to face him fully, leaning against the back wall of the elevator. “He wanted my help. Some goods need shipping, but he’s testing me. Wants to see if I can handle it.”Nico nodded, his eyes thoughtful. “The South’s kingpin wants to make sure you’re as capable as they say. Big move.”

  • Betrayed And Sold To The Mafia King   The invitation to play

    ValeriaI was sitting at my desk when I found it. A photo of Dante, one from his childhood. I couldn’t help it. I laughed. The great Dante Moretti, the man who controlled half of the underworld, looked so innocent, so… harmless. It was a picture of him as a boy, smiling shyly, with his eyes full of something I hadn’t expected—vulnerability. It made me chuckle, and I muttered under my breath, “Who would have thought the feared mafia lord was once this cute?”I shook my head, still laughing quietly to myself as I studied the photo. The contrast between the little boy in the picture and the man I knew now was almost too much to process. The laugh died in my throat when a soft knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. I quickly shoved the photo into the drawer and called out, “Come in.”Nico entered, with his face as serious as ever. He handed me a piece of paper, and I noticed the name written on it, my brow furrowing slightly. Nico looked at me, clearly ready to discuss something impor

  • Betrayed And Sold To The Mafia King   Thought of a queen

    DanteThe 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.”“Not yet?” His e

  • 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
