CLAIMED BY THE MAFIA DON Don't Know His Father
ASHERThe food was perfect. The pasta was tender, the sauce savory. Ariella had clearly put thought and care into the food, and I could see why Leon was ecstatic.Once the plates were cleared, Ariella brought over the ice cream. Leon’s little hands clapped together in delight. “Ice cream!” he squealed, digging in immediately with a little spoon, not caring about neatness at all.I smiled as I served myself, stealing glances at Ariella. She seemed more at ease now, letting herself enjoy the moment, laughing quietly at Leon’s messiness. I reached across the table and took Ariella’s hand gently. She looked up, eyes meeting mine, and I could see everything, the past, the pain, the secrets, but also the promise of what we could have now.I didn’t want to ruin the moment by bringing up the past. We were having such a great time, and I didn’t want to disrupt it. So I asked the question I probably should have asked earlier.“Where is Maria? I thought she decided to stay back with you?” I sai

ASHERThe flight felt both endless and too short. I spent every second of it pacing the aisle, clenching and unclenching my fists, rehearsing what I would say, and then scrapping it all over again.What could I possibly say to her?How do you tell the woman you love that you know the truth now, that you know she carried your child, that you know why she left and still demand to know why she didn’t trust you enough to stay?The jet touched down. I barely remembered getting off, barely remembered the drive. My heart was hammering against my ribs, my throat dry as I walked up the steps to the house.I didn’t knock.Not this time.The door swung open, and there she was.... Ariella.Her hair was pulled back, messy, strands falling into her face like she’d been running after Leon, and maybe she had, because a second later, my son came barreling into view, laughing, clutching a toy truck in his hand.My son. My chest felt too tight.She froze when she saw me, her breath catching audibly.“As

ASHERBut there was still one more stop I had to make. One more person to confront. I was going to see Luca, to make him pay for all the torment he had put me through, for nearly forcing me into a mistake I could never undo, for nearly taking from me the one person and the one child I could never afford to lose.I got into the car and immediately called to have my private jet prepared. I was going away for a few hours, and this couldn’t wait. Before I even realized it, I was parked in front of Luca’s house. I had driven faster than I should have, but I didn’t care. My chest still ached from everything Mrs. Costa had just told me, but I refused to let myself drown in the pain, refused to let the guilt win.No. I was happy. I should feel happy. Ecstatic, even.Ariella had been pregnant. She had been carrying my baby. My son.And though I still didn’t fully understand why she hadn’t told me why she had chosen to go through all of this alone.... I believed she must have had a damn good r
CLAIMED BY THE MAFIA DON Suicide
ASHER I felt something inside me snap. It was sudden, like a cord pulled too tight. I was breathing heavily on that sofa, staring, unable to move my eyes away from Mrs. Costa as she spoke. “Ariella was pregnant?” I asked, my voice sounding strange even to me. My chest felt tight, my mind racing. Emotions clawed at my control, but I knew I had to steady myself. I had to hold it together. “Yes,” she said, her tone bitter, almost resigned. “She was pregnant. Trying to get herself annihilated. Nobody would want to marry a pregnant woman with another man's child. She would have been done. That’s why we had to move the wedding forward.” I froze. "The wedding… There was no wedding. I was supposed to marry her." “No,” she continued, her voice sharp. “Your father knew the moment you found out that Ariella had been with someone else, that he was going to marry her. He knew you would drop her like hot liquid. But Ariella… she was stubborn.” Her eyes narrowed, and I felt the weight of her
CLAIMED BY THE MAFIA DON A Fool
ASHERMrs. Costa knew the truth about Ariella and my father.... She has to.“What do you mean?” she asked on a swallow. “I want to know what happened.... Six years ago,” She took a death breath. "Ariella is gone. She died. And when she died, she made sure to pull my husband with her. That girl was nothing but… trouble.” Her words came out bitter, clipped.“She began her trouble with you when she decided she could be married to the next Don. And then she got so lucky that someone even stronger wanted her. And what did she do? She went and messed it all up, caught herself in death, and then pulled my husband with her. And now I’m left all alone in this world with nobody. Without my husband here, just existing, waiting for the day I die.”I swallowed. I had always felt it; Ariella and her mom didn’t get along. It wasn’t a secret. Ariella used to complain about her mother, but I didn’t expect her mother to say this about her.“Well, what happened was an accident,” I said. “An accident.”
CLAIMED BY THE MAFIA DON Mrs Costa
ASHERI just sat there, staring into nothing, my heart aching so badly it felt like it had hands squeezing it from the inside. My stomach hurt too. I hadn’t eaten since last night, and the whiskey I’d been drinking since morning was burning its way through me like acid.And then it hit me.Ariella’s dad had died a few months after her supposed death, but her mother was still alive. And I had been a frequent guest in that house, a familiar face at their table. Ariella’s mother had always been warm toward me.....at first.The thought stabbed me so sharply I had to sit forward, elbows on my knees, gripping my head..... She knows.Ariella’s mother knows something about this agreement. She has to.My mind pulled me back, unwilling but relentless, to the early days with Ariella. Her mother had loved me. She had adored me. She would bend over backwards just to make me comfortable when I visited. But then, suddenly, something changed.After my father went to meet Ariella’s parents to talk abo
