“I’m angry, okay?” Asher said, finally turning to face me again.

“I’m angry that you put me in that situation. I’m angry that you care so little about yourself. I’m angry that you nearly destroyed something I’ve been working so damn hard to build... for us. For you....”

I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. My throat had closed up.

"And you even laughed about it too... As if the whole thing was funny to you..." He took a deep breath filled with anger.

And that’s when it started to click. It started to dawn on me—what I’d done. What I had made him do.

That day in the bedroom... How I’d tried to cross lines that maybe shouldn’t have been crossed.

How I thought it was intimacy, but to him, it was something else entirely.

It mattered to him. Deeply. More than I’d realized. I hadn’t seen it then. Not in his eyes. Not in the moment.

But now, seeing the disappointment and hurt on his face... Hearing it in the tone of his voice...

It hit me. Hard.

I felt sick with guilt. Sick because I ha

  • CLAIMED BY THE MAFIA DON   I'll Be Good

    “I don’t know, buddy,” Luca said, his voice soft but firm. “I just came to see you and take you, your mommy, and Aunt Maria on a little road trip, but I can’t stay. I've got work.”Leon immediately pouted, his little lips trembling."But why?"“When you grow up, when you’re gonna be a big boy like me, a man, you’ll understand. You’re gonna take care of your mom, and to take care of her, you’re going to have to work. You’re gonna have to work hard. Okay, my little man?”But Leon didn’t take that well.He just broke. He straight-up started crying.“Come on, you’re a man,” Luca told him, like that would help, but that only seemed to make Leon angrier.Leon started screaming right in Luca’s arms, thrashing so much that Luca had to let him go. He dropped to his feet, and I thought, maybe he was going to run away.But no. He suddenly threw himself on the floor, kicking his legs, his fists pounding, wiggling in the most dramatic tantrum I had ever seen.“I don’t want to leave!” he shouted ov

    Luca's smile deepened....cruel, controlled.“I want you to remember that,” he said. “I don’t want to use your weakness against you.”A pause. “But....” He chuckled, dry and sharp. “I could.”He looked at his watch then, casually.“I’m going downstairs,” he said, turning for the door. “And in exactly ten minutes, I want your ass in the car.”And with that, he turned to walk out, leaving his threat hanging between us like smoke in the air. I stood there, heart pounding, dread crashing over me like a wave I couldn’t escape.I was going back to a cage. But this one? This one was going to be far worse.And then, like a soft whisper from the universe, a tiny little human came running into my bedroom. Luca had just reached the threshold of the doorway when Leon ran straight into him and wrapped his tiny arms around Luca’s legs.“Uncle Luca!” he said joyfully, his voice like a melody, innocent and untouched by everything that had just happened.I froze. Luca turned, just slightly, just enough

    I looked at Luca. He was still sitting there in that chair, watching me, always watching.“I’m sorry, Luca, okay?” I finally said, my voice barely a whisper. “It was a mistake. I don’t even know what’s wrong with me. Can we just... forget it all happened?”And then I waited. For the answer I wasn’t sure I deserved.“You want us to forget?” Luca said, his voice dripping in sarcasm as he let out a bitter laugh. “You know this is gonna cost me, right?”I frowned. “What do you mean? How?”He looked at me with disbelief. “When Asher finds out that I not only went against his wishes....which, by the way, he is very mad about, but also that I pushed you right into another man’s arms? The enemy?” He let out a humourless chuckle. “Do you know how he’s gonna act? Because I have no idea. But I can promise you, it won’t be good. It won’t be good to watch, and it sure as hell won’t be good to be on the other end of his wrath.”I swallowed hard, already feeling my hands grow clammy. “I’m sorry. It

  • CLAIMED BY THE MAFIA DON   To Protect You

    The room went dead silent.No one moved. No one spoke.It was like time had paused again, but this time it wasn’t fear or chaos, it was tension. The kind of tension that threatens to squeeze the life out of you. Everyone seemed to be weighing their next move, their next word, their next breath.But Alan, battered and bloodied wasn’t backing down.“Who the fuck are you?” he repeated, glaring at Luca. “I want to know who you are.”“You have no right to know,” Maria cut in sharply before Luca could answer. She took a step forward. “This is not your house. Nobody here involves you. You came into this home, and you met me at the door. I told you everything was fine. You didn’t want to understand. You forced your way in, you caused a mess, and now....” She gestured toward Alan’s bruised face, “you got beat. Now leave.”Dana’s eyes snapped toward Maria, narrowing, ready to challenge her. But then her gaze came back to me.I swallowed, hard, already knowing what was coming before she even ope

    Finally, Luca paused. Dana and I pulled him off, though I knew it was only because he let us.As soon as Luca was off him, Dana rushed to Alan’s side. Her hands trembled as she helped lift him. “Oh my God…”Alan looked awful. Blood streaked his face, though I couldn’t even tell where it was coming from....his nose, his mouth, his forehead. It was too much.I couldn’t look at him. I turned to Luca. He didn’t walk away clean either. His lip was split. His eye was already starting to swell. But compared to Alan… he looked like he’d barely been touched.Dana screamed. “What the fuck is wrong with you?!” she shouted at Luca. “What the fuck is wrong with all of you?” she added, spinning around to glare at me, at Maria, at the whole room.Alan tried to calm her. “Dana, stop. I’m fine.”But Dana wasn’t having it. “What the hell is going on here?! Why did you hit my brother? What the fuck happened?!”“Okay, everyone just calm down,” Maria tried.“I’m not calming down!” Dana roared. Her eyes lo

    Luca only smiled.NA cold, twisted smile that sent shivers down my entire spine.“Since I can’t touch you and leave all the frustration and anger on you,” he began, his voice low and venom-laced, “not just because I know Asher will kill me for it... but also because there’s this tiny little part in me that cares about you....”He paused. “Even though I don’t want to. Not right now, not after what you did.”Then he exhaled sharply, like holding it in had cost him something.“But,” he continued, “as luck would have it, I don’t have to do anything to you. I don't even have to bottle it inside....” His gaze darkened. “Because Lover Boy is here… and I can let it all out on him instead.”And just like that, he turned, heading for the stairs. I should have let him go. I should’ve stayed quiet, let it unfold. But something inside me rebelled.I didn’t want that. I didn’t want Luca and Alan to fight, not over me. Not over something so messy and complicated and already spiralling out of control.
