There was a way that Luca was treating the whole thing. If we were to put him into terms, we would say he was here to kidnap me.

But can you even call it kidnapping if you're being forced into doing things?

It was the way he was so sure of himself, so certain that I was going to do everything he said just because he was Mafia, just because Asher had asked him to.

But he didn’t know me. Not this new version of me.

I wasn’t just going to let them pick me up and throw me into their cage, controlling me with their batons. I had survived too much, fought too hard, to let them take me without a fight.

So, I decided to use Luca’s weakness against him.

He hit the top of the roof of my car twice as he said,

"Come on, let's go." Then, without another word, he started walking back toward his police cruiser.

No. He wasn’t taking me that easily.

I turned the car back on, gripping the wheel tightly. Just as I was about to press my foot on the gas, a hand shot out and held mine in place.

  • CLAIMED BY THE MAFIA DON   Greatest Love Of All

    ARIELLA Our wedding was amazing.... It was everything I’d ever dreamed of and more. Magical. Timeless. The kind of night that felt suspended between fantasy and reality. It surpassed every image I’d painted in my mind, every whispered wish I’d ever made about my wedding with Asher. As soon as the pastor pronounced us husband and wife, everyone erupted in cheers and applause. People came up to congratulate us, laughter and music filling every corner. But Asher—being Asher—made sure they all left after the formalities. Everyone, except family, of course. Except our closest friends Luca, Maria and our son. In his words, “They’re just here as witnesses.” He’d wanted to introduce his new wife to the people who mattered in his world, to make a quiet yet powerful statement: I was here, I was his, and this was our family. Later, he would introduce our son officially to the rest of the Romano family. But for tonight, this moment belonged to us. I couldn’t help but fall even more in love

    ARIELLALuca nodded slowly. Maria slipped beside me, pressing a handkerchief into my palm.“Here,” she said.I dabbed my eyes.“Don’t worry, the makeup’s waterproof,” Maria added with a little smile. “You can cry all you want.”That actually made me laugh, a small shaky laugh that broke the tension for a second. But thinking about my dad still hurts. He should have been here.Then Luca said, “Your mom was still mad at you. Asher didn’t know whether to bring her or not. In the end, he decided not to. But if you change your mind, I have a plane ready to bring her here.”I thought about my mother, about how she’d always been against me and Asher, how she always found something to nag about. I didn’t want her to ruin such a beautiful day.“Maybe it’s just better she continues thinking I’m dead,” I said quietly. “Maybe a few weeks, a few months, a few years later, I’ll change my mind. But for now, I just want to be happy.”I told myself the only thing I truly regretted was my dad. I never

    ARIELLAMy heart pounded. “Asher…”“Don’t say no,” he said gently, his thumb tracing the corner of my mouth. “You said you always dreamed we’d have a home, the three of us. This, this is how we start it. No more waiting. No more running. Just us.”I covered my mouth, laughing and crying at the same time. “You’re serious?”“Dead serious,” he murmured. “You could say I’ve been planning this since the day I found you again. You’ve said yes to me a thousand times without words. I just need you to say it once out loud.”I looked at him, at the man who’d been through fire and still held me like I was made of something worth saving. And suddenly, there was no doubt left in me.“Yes,” I said softly. “Let’s get married tonight.”His smile broke wide this time, unguarded and real. He pulled me in, kissed my forehead, and whispered,“Then it’s settled. Tonight, you become my wife.”The moment the word yes left my mouth, Asher was already moving. He pulled out his phone, started firing off comman

    ARIELLAHe shifted a little, tightening his arm around me until I was tucked perfectly against him. Then he said quietly, “You know, it’s not that I don’t want you.”I smiled faintly against his chest. “I know.”“It’s just… I need to do this right,” he continued, his fingers tracing lazy circles on my shoulder. “We’ve both been through too much to rush into something just because it feels good in the moment.”I lifted my head a little, just enough to see his face. “You think it would ruin what we have?”“No,” he said, his gaze steady. “I think it would make me forget what I’m trying to protect. I want you to trust that this—” he brushed his thumb across my cheek “—isn’t temporary. That when I finally make love to you, it won’t be about trying to forget or to prove something. It’ll be because everything else is finally right.”My throat tightened, and I didn’t know what to say. I just nodded, my fingers curling into his shirt.“I get it,” I whispered. “You don’t have to explain. I und

    ARIELLA“I’m sorry. I know how much you loved Dominic,” I say, taking his hand.“It’s fine,” he says. “.... I know it's not fine, but it’s not like there’s anything I can do.”“Yeah, I know,” I murmur, “but I can see it still hurts you, and it pains me to see you like this, to watch you go through this. I want you to know that I wasn’t close to Dominic. I didn’t know him. But if you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here.”“Thanks,” he says quietly. His thumb brushes over my knuckles.“The only thing that I keep thinking about…” His voice falters, then steadies. “I loved him enough to have let him be with Dinara....even forever, if he had chosen to. Even if he had wanted to be with her and start q family, maybe I could have found a way for the two of them to be together, if it was real. But he knew Dinara was playing him. I gave him a chance to save himself…”I hold his hand tighter. “If there’s any part of you that feels guilty for his actions, I just want you to know that he was an

  • CLAIMED BY THE MAFIA DON   From The Beginning

    ARIELLAI should have known the moment the plane began to descend, the ocean below was too familiar, the curve of the coastline too.The island.The same island Asher had taken me to before.The one where he had built that sprawling, luxurious hotel that rose out of the cliffs like a secret only the sea could keep.And just like last time, it was breathtaking. As we drove up the long, winding path toward the hotel, the salty breeze swept through the open windows, and I caught myself staring out, lost in the beauty of my surroundings.“You still remember this place?” Asher asked, glancing at me as the car slowed near the entrance.“Yeah,” I said softly, smiling faintly. “But I thought it was already taking in guests.... It looks deserted.”He smirked. “No, it’s not deserted. I just reserved it for a few days while we’re here.”“A few days?” I turned to him, surprised.He groaned lightly. “Ah, I ruined the surprise, didn’t I?”“What surprise?” I asked, laughing.“Well,” he said, his voi
