Ava’s POV

Five days later, we were back in the city. Our honeymoon had started terribly, but somehow, the remaining days had turned into something I never expected, dreamy.

We had sped across the water on a speedboat, the wind whipping my hair across my face as I screamed and laughed at the same time. We rode horses through the community, watched the stars until my neck ached from looking up, and stood together beneath a sunset that painted the sky in shades of orange and pink. We played games.

  • Bound to the mafia    Chapter 76: Breakfast

    Ava’s POV Vindell leaned toward me again. I instinctively turned my face away, my shoulder brushing against the wall. Then, there was a beep sound. The door clicked. I blinked. The lock released, and the door swung open. I stared at Vindell. He stared at me. Then I noticed the small camera above the door. “Wait…” He stepped forward, and the realization hit me. “It’s face unlock.” He leaned toward the scanner, and the door beeped again. My jaw dropped. “You’re telling me we were trapped in here because you never told me this door opens with your face?” He shrugged. “Well, I tried but you didn’t want to be saved.” I stared at him for a second before rolling my eyes. “Unbelievable.” Neither of us wasted another second. We rushed out of the room and practically flew down the flight of stairs. The moment we reached the dining area, we stopped. Sophia and Kate were standing on opposite sides of the dining table, glaring at each other. Dishes were scattered across the

  • Bound to the mafia    Chapter 75: A secret room

    Ava’s POV Morning light slipped through the curtains and landed straight across my face, dragging me out of sleep. I groaned, pulled the blanket over my head, then gave up when the brightness refused to disappear. I’d been in this mansion for a while now, yet there were still corners of the place I hadn’t seen. The thought suddenly made me curious. I went looking for Sophia, but she wasn’t in her room. Then I heard her voice drifting from somewhere around the kitchen. Instead of following it, I decided to explore. If I was going to be trapped in this ridiculous mansion for the foreseeable future, I might as well know my way around it. The first room I wandered into was Vindell’s. The moment I stepped inside, I slowed. Everything was painfully organized. His clothes were arranged neatly. The books sat perfectly in place. Even the smallest objects looked like they had been positioned with a ruler. I glanced around, almost amused. His bedroom was bigger than my entire apar

  • Bound to the mafia    Chapter 74: The Therapist

    Mrs. Ashford’s POV The moment I saw Vindell walk through the door, my heart lurched. I immediately covered my mouth and broke into a violent coughing fit. “Mom!” Vindell rushed toward me, panic flashing across his face. He hurried to the mini-fridge tucked into the corner of the room, grabbed a bottle of water, and poured it into a glass. “Here.” His hand slipped beneath my shoulders as he helped me sit up before pressing the glass into my trembling fingers. I took a few hurried sips, coughing between them. But even as I drank, I could feel his eyes moving between me and Doctor Rufus. His brows pulled together. “What’s going on here?” he asked. “I thought you were doing a checkup.” Doctor Rufus didn’t even flinch.“Yes, I was. I did the checkup and realized that her condition has improved immensely.” My fingers tightened around the glass. He turned toward me with a smile that made my stomach twist. “Mrs. Ashford, I’m glad to tell you that you’re almost out of harm’s

    Kate’s POV At the hospital, Vindell stayed inside Mrs. Ashford’s room while I busied myself with files, paperwork, and everything else that needed to be handled. I kept moving from one desk to another until, eventually, the chaos settled. I sank into one of the lobby chairs and let out a slow breath. For the first time since we arrived, I had nothing demanding my attention. Then my phone rang, Winston. My stomach tightened. I glanced around the lobby. People were scattered across the waiting area, nurses moved behind the reception desk, and a few patients sat quietly in the corners. I immediately stood. I couldn’t risk anyone overhearing me. I slipped through the emergency staircase door and descended a few steps before answering. “Hello?” “And how do you intend to pay me back for keeping quiet?” Winston’s low, husky voice rumbled through the phone. “Or do you think I took all that for nothing?” My fingers tightened around the phone.“Calm down. I need everything to settl

  • Bound to the mafia    Chapter 72: The new PA

    Ava’s POV “Hi, Ava!” Before I could even process what was happening, the excited figure rushed toward me and threw her arms around me. I stumbled back from the force of her hug, then laughed as I hugged her back. “I haven’t been able to settle in since morning because these two people think I’m a liar.” She pulled away, pointing between Mrs. Ashford and Kate. “Matter of fact, I’m your new PA.” My eyes widened. “Really?!” She nodded enthusiastically.“Mr. Vindell specifically hired me. And the pay…” She shook her head in disbelief. “The pay is unlike anything I’ve ever encountered. What do you mean I earn that much just to be your PA when we’re already friends?” I laughed. “He said I can live here and go back whenever I want,” she continued. “Can you imagine?” A grin spread across my face. Before I could say anything else, Sophia grabbed my hands and squealed. We hugged again, jumping up and down like children. For a few seconds, I completely forgot about the furious ey

  • Bound to the mafia    Chapter 71: A breath of fresh air

    Ava’s POV I carried two thank-you bags filled with fruits and snacks down the corridor, the handles digging into my fingers with every step. When I reached Mom’s room, I pushed the door open. My steps immediately faltered. Mom was sitting on the bed, a chessboard spread out in front of her. Across from her sat someone I never expected to see. My jaw dropped. “Peter?!” His head snapped toward me. He slowly rose from his chair, and I stared at him. He looked much fresher than the last time I had seen him, his face brighter, his clothes neat, his eyes clearer. For a second, neither of us said anything. I walked toward them and set the bags beside the table. “Did you bring the fruit bar I specifically asked for?” Mom asked. My eyes remained fixed on Peter. I barely registered her question before nodding. “Hi, Ava,” Peter finally said. His voice sent a strange little ache through my chest. I looked from him to Mom, my eyes darting between them. Mom seemed to read my thou
