Chapter Ninety Three

Elena’s POV

The words on the note burned into my skull like they had been carved there with fire.

Welcome home little princess

Princess of what

Of who

Of which devil

My fingers shook so violently the paper slipped from my hand and drifted to the floor like a dead leaf. The ring lay in my palm like a curse. Heavy. Cold. Familiar in a way that made my stomach twist.

Someone behind me whispered.

Elena are you okay

I could not answer.

My chest tightened. My breath stuttered. The air felt thick and sharp. All the noise around me the hammers the workers the engine from the street dimmed into a far background hum. My mind roared with only one sound.

No.

No.

No.

Not them. Not here. Not again.

I clenched the ring so hard the metal dug into my skin. Blood pricked my palm. I swallowed the panic clawing up my throat and bent to snatch the note off the ground.

But before I stood upright I heard footsteps. Slow. Confident. Heavy.

I looked up.

Lucas.

    Chapter One Hundred TwoElena POVThe room went dark. My heart slammed against my ribs so hard I could hear it. I froze, afraid to even breathe. The hum of the generator was gone, and all that remained was silence and the faint sound of footsteps outside the door.Valerio moved fast. I could barely see him, but I heard the click of a gun being loaded. His voice was calm but low and sharp.Stay behind me.I nodded even though he couldn’t see it. My fingers gripped the edge of his shirt, trembling.He opened the door a crack and looked into the hallway. The faint glow of flashlights flickered from downstairs. The guards were already moving, shouting orders. The air smelled of smoke and something else—danger.Valerio stepped out. I followed close, my bare feet silent on the cold floor.Then a sound—glass shattering from below. A scream. A gunshot. My body jerked. Valerio turned, pulling me behind a wall as bullets tore through the staircase railing.Get down he hissed.I dropped to my kn

  • Claimed By My Ex’s Mafia Father in-law    Chapter 113

    Chapter One HundredElena POVThe night refused to end. The sirens faded but the echo of chaos clung to my skin. Valerio’s hand was still on my shoulder, firm and grounding, while his men cleaned up the mess in silence. I could smell smoke, metal, and blood in the cold air.My father sat on the steps, his bandaged hand pressed against his forehead, whispering prayers under his breath. Sandra clung to Brian, her face pale. Everything was spinning and yet too clear at the same time.Valerio finally turned to me. His jaw was tight, his eyes unreadable.You should not have been here, he said.I opened my mouth to answer but nothing came. I just stared at him, searching for any trace of softness, but there was only steel.He sighed and looked at his men.Take her father to the safe house. She comes with me.No, I said quickly. I’m not—He looked at me once, and the words died in my throat. There was no room for argument.You will come with me, Elena. Until I end this.He started walking to

    Chapter Ninety NineElena’s POVThe line went silent for a heartbeat, then Valerio’s voice returned sharper, lower, like a blade pressed to my skin.“Elena… tell me where you are.”I swallowed hard. “I can’t.”Behind me Brian mouthed, don’t.Valerio exhaled—slow, dangerous. “You think running keeps you safe. It doesn’t. It only means I can’t reach you before they do.”My fingers tightened around the phone. “We don’t have a choice.”“Yes,” he said. “You do. You always do.”Brian motioned urgently. “We need to go. Now.”Tires screeched somewhere outside. Too close.Valerio’s voice dropped to a whisper edged with something terrifying.“Elena… if those are Russians, you cannot let them take you alive. Do you hear me?”My breath trembled. “Valerio—”Before I could finish, the door behind us rattled violently.Someone tried the handle.Sandra gasped. Brian raised his gun. My father pulled me behind him.“Elena,” Valerio said one last time, voice turning to cold steel.“I’m coming.”The door

    Chapter Hundred Elena’s POVMy father would not let go of me.Even after Sandra handed him a towel. Even after Brian told us we had maybe twenty minutes before someone noticed the street cameras looping. His good hand stayed pressed to the back of my head like if he loosened it, I would vanish.“They will not take you,” he kept repeating. “They already took enough from this family.”Brian paced the small room like a loaded weapon. “We can’t stay here. Not with three different groups hunting her.”“Three?” I whispered.He stopped and looked at me. “Russians. Valerio’s enemies who think you are his weakness. And whoever framed you with that money. This is no longer one problem.”Sandra’s face went pale. “So where do we go?”Brian exhaled slowly. “There’s one place no one will search first.”“Where?” I asked.He looked at me carefully. “The last place they expect a girl like you to hide.”Before I could ask what that meant, his phone buzzed once. He checked it and cursed under his breat

    Chapter Ninety SevenElena’s POVThe truck did not slow until we were deep inside a crowded neighborhood where streetlights flickered and late night vendors still called out to tired customers. When it finally stopped, my legs could barely hold me. Brian jumped out first, scanning the street with sharp eyes like a man expecting death to walk out of the shadows.Sandra pulled me into her arms the second I stepped down.“You’re shaking,” she whispered. “You’re shaking so badly.”“I saw my aunt,” I said numbly. “She tried to take me.”Brian stiffened. “So it really is the Russians.”We rushed inside a small abandoned store at the corner that Brian clearly knew well. Someone had set it up as a safe point. Generator humming. Single bulb hanging. No cameras. No windows.Brian locked the door with two heavy bolts.Only then did my body collapse.I slid down the wall and sat on the cold floor, hugging my knees. The rain soaked into my clothes and skin but I could not feel it. All I could see

    Chapter Ninety SixElena’s POVThe voice behind me did not sound rushed.It sounded pleased.My blood turned to ice.Found you.The darkness swallowed everything. The workers had scattered. Tools crashed to the floor. Someone screamed again near the entrance. My arm was locked in a grip that felt like steel.I twisted hard.“Let go of me!”The power cut had not been an accident. I knew that now. Too perfect. Too clean.The hand tightened.“You always struggled,” the woman behind me whispered. “Just like your mother.”That name again.Mother.My breath hitched. I kicked backward with everything in me. My heel hit a shin. The grip loosened for half a second and I ripped free and ran blindly into the dark.Someone else cursed.Footsteps chased me.I crashed into a table and nearly fell but I grabbed the edge and pushed myself forward, sprinting toward what I hoped was the back exit. My heart felt like it would tear straight out of my chest.“Elena!” a man shouted behind me. “Do not run!”
