The ballroom shone with gold and white hues, as crystal chandeliers cast a soft glow upon the guests, whose laughter and conversation resonated throughout the space. The string quartet performed gently in the background, a calming melody that seemed to wrap around the room like a comforting embrace.

But for Dysis, everything felt overwhelming. The towering columns, the grand staircase, the glittering crowd—it all seemed like a blur as her focus remained on one person: Alexander.

She had never seen him like this before. The usual cold, calculated mafia leader—capable of making even the bravest shudder with a single glance—was different tonight. There was a stillness in him, an almost tense calmness in the way he stood. His grip on her hand was firm enough to assert control, but there was something gentle in it, too, as if it was a subtle reminder that there was more to him than his ruthless reputation. As they walked through the sea of guests, Dysis couldn’t shake the feeling of the

  • Claimed By The Mafia Billionaire    Chapter 132: Shattered Glass

    The storm had hardly relaxed its hold on the Levi estate when the thick oak doors creaked open once more.Lili Levi entered, her shoes striking the marble floor with a discordant echo throughout the spacious hall. Her pricey wool coat smells faintly of rain and lilies, drops still shining on the black cloth cut specifically. Her golden hair, expertly arranged in a chignon, did not show one strand out of alignment. A gift from Adam years ago, her sapphire earrings swung softly as she gently removed her gloves with careful, deliberate grace. She ignored the way the house had stilled. Alternatively, how does the staff vanish into the walls like smoke? Alternatively, as if the house itself were holding its breath, the very air felt thicker, heavier. A faint murmur stirred in the study outside the hall, the clink of a glass being laid down. Firm footsteps. a slow, deliberate exhale.Ignorant of the storm she was about to step into, Lili fixed the collar of her coat walked forward. She pus

  • Claimed By The Mafia Billionaire    Chapter 131: Selection Made by a Father

    The rain had not stopped. Silver trotted over the flooded driveway, his hair stuck to his forehead and garments soaking. Where Alexander's boot had struck him, his chest burned, but the agony in his ribs was little compared to the panic clawing at his core. Brayden left. taken And he was by himself. Water pooling behind him, he slammed open the heavy front doors of the estate and rushed directly for the study where he knew his father would be. His footsteps sounded loud and frantic down the marble halls. Adam Levi turned from behind his desk to see Silver explode in without knocking. What the hell is this? Adam enquired sharply, black eyes narrowing. He stayed a force even at sixty, broad-shouldered, heavy with power, but he never got out of his chair. Silver dropped himself in front of the desk, breathing hard and soaking. "Alexander took Brayden," he continued, his voice harsh with wrath. "He just attacked me and drove off with my son." Adam raised his eyebrows but stayed

  • Claimed By The Mafia Billionaire    Chapter 130: The Truth from a Child

    Adam's eyes grew focused, following him the way a hawk observes something it knows it cannot stop. Adam cautioned, the weight of something old weighing into his words, "you're not ready for what you'll find." a cautioned note. a confession. a menace. It was difficult to tell. Alexander looked over the span of years, blood, blunders, to meet the gaze of his father. "I have no choice," he murmured, voice as polished stone. Then softly, virtually inaudible: "I never did." Alexander pivoted, his cloak flinging slightly behind him as he marched towards the heavy door without waiting for a reply. Every stride was a drumming against the outside storm. Adam murmured once more, softly, nearly lost under the crackle of dwindling flames as his palm wrapped around the cold brass doorknob. "Be vigilant, son. A few things buried alive scratch their way back meaner than before. Alexander stopped for half a heartbeat and let the words sink hooks into his spine. Then he unlocked the door and le

    "I didn't kill Sofie," he added after a beat, his voice roughening, darker."She was walking for a cause."Adam’s brow furrowed slightly, the only sign of emotion he gave.Alexander’s mouth twisted into something grim."She got killed because she was no use to them anymore."He let that settle, the truth smoking through the room like a slow, lethal poison.Adam sighed from his nose, the sound weighty. More to himself than anybody else, he said, "so you were right." Alexander nodded once, his movement crisp and curative."She was about to tell me who put her into that mess," Alexander continued, voice a rough scrape across the silence."But they silenced her before she could."Adam’s face tightened, his mouth a hard, bitter line."Poor girl," he muttered. He turned slightly to stare into the flames, the firelight throwing his expression into shifting relief. "She got herself killed."Alexander said nothing. There was no point dressing the truth up in flowers and silk. Death was death.

  • Claimed By The Mafia Billionaire    Chapter 128: Shadows of the Forgotten

    Rising bare skin, the golden light of morning seeped through the curtains and warmed twisted sheets. Dysis lay curled against Alexander, her fingers following his lazy patterns of chest, her cheek lying over his pulse. The planet seemed to be silent. Respectable. As though time slowed just for them. Protective and possessive in that subtle manner only he knew how to be, his arm hung around her waist. She felt as though she was not preparing for war for the first time in eternity. simply breathing. Just being. But that tranquility accompanied a feeling that had crept into her chest over the night and would not go. Her lips opened, reluctance softening her voice to the whisper level."Alex......" Dysis's breath stopped then she started to smile softly and slowly. Not a gentle one either. not bashful or nervous. Just genuine. friendly. She said nothing, but she leaned forward and kissed him with a tenderness that transcended words ever could. He kissed her back, slow and deep, as tho

  • Claimed By The Mafia Billionaire    Chapter 127: Echoes Beneath

    Alexander's skin and the smell of warm linen hung about them, cocooning Dysis in comfort as the morning slinkily entered the room. Like a forgotten song, the far-off silence of rain tapping against the balcony doors threaded through. She moved slightly, the soft cotton black sleep shirt brushing her naked legs. After she had cried against him and he had held her like something holy, he had thrown it over her sometime following their confessions. The cloth still smelt like cedar, rain, something dangerous but sadly delicate.Still shirtless, Alexander lay next her with low navy pyjama pants on his hips. With each breath, the muscles in his arm sloppily behind his head flex and relax. His icy-blue eyes weren't chilly now. They watched her, steady and uncompromising, the way someone observes the horizon before a storm. Dysis tucked a strand of her messy hair, tangled from sleep, behind her ear, kissed, and pushed herself up on one elbow. The air between them was different now, heavier,
