I was pregnant.

I was holding the pregnancy test in my hand, staring at it like it might change.

I was pregnant with Asher’s baby. My plan had come to fruition.

I was finally going to be with him, just like it was supposed to be in the beginning. No more obstacles. No more waiting. This was our future. Our family.

I couldn’t stop smiling.

I wanted to run to Asher, tell him everything, let the joy explode between us—but I knew it had to wait. There was something I had to do first. Something that mattered just as much.

I slipped the pregnancy test into the pocket of my jeans, took a moment to breathe, and walked down the stairs.

Mom and Dad were in the living room.

Dad was reading, Mom was watching TV, and her arms folded across her chest.

I stepped inside, and I couldn’t hide it—the happiness lit up my face like sunlight. Mom noticed first. Her eyes snapped to mine, narrowing. She slapped her hand against Dad’s arm and then nudged him harder. They both turned toward me.

    That caught me off guard. “Afraid for him?” he said “Afraid for him?” I asked quietly.He nodded, that faraway look in his eyes again. “I’m afraid he’ll do something he can’t take back. Something he’ll regret for the rest of his life. Not just regret… something that will end him.”He looked right at me, dead in the eye, like he was begging me to understand. Like he was handing me something dangerous and delicate, and trusting me not to drop it.And I understood one thing clearly, my life was not just out of my hands. It was in danger.My eyes drifted toward the room we’d turned into Leon’s study space. And suddenly, I wasn’t just afraid for myself anymore.I had everything on the line.“Do you think he would do something to Leon?”I asked, my voice trembling. “He can’t do something to Leon. Please, Luca… he can’t. He’s not guilty of anything. If Asher wants to hurt someone, it should be me. I should be the one paying for it. So if he wants to do anything, if someone has to take th

    Five Years LaterAsher had left… but not before he made sure I ate every single thing on that plate. Every bite. I was already full, but he wouldn’t let me stop. I had to finish it all. And when the door finally closed behind him, I was already crying, that’s when the sobbing started. Full-on, heaving sobs that racked through my chest until I couldn’t hold anything down.I vomited.Then I just sat there, slumped over the toilet bowl, my arms limp and my cheeks burning, wondering why is my life like this?Why me?It was still so hard to believe that the man I had loved all of my life, the man I had trusted, that this man I thought I was sacrificing everything for, was this man who hated me so much now. It was clear to see in his eyes how much he hated me. All those times that I would hold Leon in my arms and think of the three of us meeting, of him seeing his son, seeing me, the two of us forgiving each other. Him seeing all the sacrifices that I had to make for us, but when I look in

    I go back into Dad’s office. Head straight for the safe. I kneel down, press the familiar numbers, and it clicks open.Same passcode. Same stacks.Still there. Not enough for four people. Maybe not even enough for three if we’re being smart.But for one? It’s more than enough.Now comes the hardest part.The body.I need a body in that room. Something to burn, something to leave behind.I need someone dead Or… already dead.My hands are shaking as I leave the house.I do everything I’m not supposed to know how to do. I get the burner phone. I get the wig, the cheap makeup, the cover identity. I make the calls. I ask the questions that you’re not allowed to ask unless you’ve seen too much of the world.And somehow I don’t even know how...I do it. I get what I need.An already cremated female body. Bagged. Heavy. Silent.By the time I return to the house, no one’s there.I carry the gym bag upstairs. Put it under my bed and start putting everything in motion.The escape. The fire. The

    Dad continues, determined.“That way, even if they find out our death was staged, by then we’ll be so far gone, it won’t matter. It buys us time.”He’s already shuffling papers, his hands trembling slightly.“We’ll need money,” he mutters, half to himself. “Cash is already withdrawn. Quiet withdrawals. Small amounts. Just enough to go unnoticed. We have money in the safe—it’s enough. More than enough to disappear.”He’s thinking out loud now, unstoppable. A man with a plan. A desperate man, but a determined one.“Once we disappear, we change our names. Our looks. Start over. Jobs that don’t make people curious. Maybe in a place where the Italian Mafia has no reach, where they don’t talk to anyone.”I listen to every word, not interrupting. My heart beats faster.“And your mother and I can get jobs...,” he says.“And me,” I whisper.He glances up, eyes soft. “Yes. You too.”“We can make it work. We can give your child, my grandchild a good life. A real life. I promise you, I can take c

    And now my mom was full-on crying, and I was lost as I just stood there. I wasn’t expecting this.“Why?” I asked carefully, slowly. I didn't believe her.“He doesn’t think you can do it. He doesn’t want you to do it. And he’s decided to put all our lives at stake,” she said, wiping her tears. “He’s in his office right now, making a plan, calling in every favour he can to get us out of here.”She wiped at her face again, more roughly this time.“Ariella, we won’t survive. We can’t. We won’t survive. Nobody escapes the Mafia.”She looked me dead in the eye, and something inside me shattered.“Listen to me, Ariella. Go talk to your dad. Nobody escapes the Mafia. Nobody gets away. And our death...it will be hard. It will be bad. We’ll be made an example of. A warning to everyone. Come for all.”She sniffled and tried to gather herself, or at least tried to look like she was gathering herself, as she added, “Think of yourself. Think of your baby.”Another swipe of her nose. Her face was pa

    I saw stars, the pleasure taking me with it. He had been giving me a thousand orgasms ever since we started sleeping together, but this was different. And I couldn't explain how different it was, it was just different, and it was the best thing to ever happen.... and to think that it happened this way should make me sick, I should be sick, I should feel sick, but I wasn't. As he came and released inside me, groaning, he finally released his hand from my throat, and while I was still on my high, he started biting me, full-on biting me, that I hissed through the whole thing, and he bit my neck, my collarbones, on the underside of my chin, he just kissed, bit me there and everywhere, and I knew I would be sore tomorrow, all over, I would surely have bite marks.But as he looked back up at me, I pulled him towards me and kissed him. I must be crazy.Asher pulled out of me, and I winced, sucking in a sharp breath. I rolled over to my side, away from him, but the shame stayed with me. I c

    "You're right. I used you..." I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Knowing that he couldn't see me, but I had to do this. "I mean, who... who wouldn't? You are the Don's sun. You're going to be the next heir. You have everything. My family comes from nothing. And I knew that having your attention... however small... was going to do wonders for me. Wonders for my family. Wonders for my father."I force the coldness into my voice as I continue. "You were going to give my father a promotion soon before our wedding, right? You had to. You couldn't be married to a lowly soldier, I know that." I took a deep breath and continued, " I didn't love you as much as you did. I loved what you did to me, what you did for my family. You were handsome, you were generous, but I never loved you. And I'm just... When I thought of our engagement and our wedding, it was just too much, okay? I can't pretend my whole life. I just can't. That's why I decided to tell you the truth. I'm going to get ma

    AriellaI stared up at Asher as he hovered above me, and I could see that he meant every word. The only thing is, he didn’t know he was in the dark. He kept talking about the man who was going to marry me, about how he’d make him pay.But I knew once he found out the truth, he wouldn’t be able to kill him.He was talking about his own father.I had an inkling… If I told him, if I said the words out loud, I felt he’d lash out. Maybe even strangle me. Do something he’d regret for the rest of his life. So I didn’t say anything.He got off me and went into the bathroom. The sheets were still warm where he had just been. I pulled them over me, covering my naked self as the sound of the shower came on. I stared at the ceiling, blank, empty, just… thinking.I knew that when Asher walked back out that door, I had to end this. I had to. After the things he said today, after the rage, I saw in his eyes… I couldn’t let him do what he was planning. I couldn’t be a part of it.I had to break his h

    AsherMy fingers slid over her clit as I sunk into her in deep controlled strokes over and over again. I wanted my prize, wanted to force it from her quivering body, wanted her to surrender.Her tight walls clamped around my cock as she came under me. I closed my lips over the perfect skin at her throat and bit down, wanting to leave my mark everywhere. For everyone to see She tensed and shuddered even harder. I leaned down. “! Own you,” I said softly then kissed her ear.She glared up at me her eyes blazed with emotions I had summoned. “Now that you know who owns you, who you belong to.....why don’t I fuck you like I wanted to from the moment you decided to defy me?” I said in a low voice.There was a flash of fear in her eyes, but I didn’t give her time to consider my words. She was slick around my cock. I slid all the way out of her and thrust back into her in one hard push. She gasped from the pain this time. I hummed my approval. I soon found a pace that was fast enough to b
