The ceremony came to a quiet end.

Because Larry didn't leave any family who had the strength to wail at his grave, he was buried quietly.

His daughter and niece watched and occasionally, they would clean their eyes.

But they didn't scream and cry out like their heart had been cut off.

To them, they’d lost someone they knew and not someone they needed to survive.

When I told Isa that Lily was better off without her father, I wasn't lying.

At least now that she was in the foster home, she could stay away from drug influences and the dirty life.

I closed my eyes for a moment to say my last prayers.

“Father forgive me for I have sinned.” A calm settled in me after reciting that.

I squeezed Isa’s hand and kissed her cheek. It was the first show of affection all afternoon.

People were asking questions with their eyes and this was me giving them answers.

This was how I made claim of my woman.

“Is it over?” Isa asked, looking up at me.

I wanted to t

  • Claimed By The Mafia Boss   Behind A Brother’s Back

    CLEO GARCIA The bathroom door swung open, and an older woman in a sharp purple pantsuit walked out. I closed my eyes tightly, gripping the sink for support. There was no turning back now, and I knew I had to see this through. Marco and I had to finish what we started, no matter what. My eyes snapped open, staring back at me in the mirror. I blinked, then turned on the faucet, splashing my face with cold water to steady my nerves. When I finished, I stood back to look at myself. I pulled my thoughts together, taking a deep breath, reminding myself that I was safe and could trust Marco. Then I walked back out to the table where I was supposed to wait for Senator Cruz and Marco. Marco hadn’t shared much about his plan, but he had a theory he was trying to piece together, and I was part of it. A bowl of complimentary chips arrived at my table, and I ordered a mimosa, telling the waiter I’d wait for my guests to show up before ordering anything else. When Senator Cruz w

  • Claimed By The Mafia Boss   A Cry For Attention

    ISABELLA GARCIA Arash drove the car in a quiet, uneasy silence, one I’d caused with my sudden withdrawal. The air felt heavy, and neither of us spoke, the hum of the engine filling the space between us. I stared out the window, trying to shake off the awkwardness I’d created. I scooped my ice cream and swallowed, repeating the motion over and over, almost mechanically. The sweet taste was a small distraction, but when the cone was empty, a dull ache settled in my chest. The emptiness of it mirrored how I felt inside, lost and uncertain. I lifted my gaze from the dashboard to the road stretching out ahead. Something caught my eye, and I frowned. “That’s an odd road,” I said, my voice breaking the silence. The path looked unusual, winding off into the distance, different from the usual city streets. Arash squinted at the road, his hands steady on the wheel. “There’s a jungle on the other side,” he said casually, not realizing the spark his words ignited in my mind. The idea

  • Claimed By The Mafia Boss   Painful Butterflies

    ISABELLA GARCIA I didn’t want to be shopping by myself today. I had planned to bring Cleo along, hoping to chat about her wedding plans and maybe mend things between us. But that awful fight we had changed everything. I was still upset and couldn’t bring myself to talk to her just yet. I couldn’t believe Cleo and the others thought Enzo and me were wrong for each other. Their words stung, making me question everything. How could they think we made a mistake being together? The hurt lingered. I wandered away from the top section of the store, my feet dragging as I moved through rows of beautiful, stylish clothes. The bright colors and soft fabrics surrounded me, but my heart wasn’t in it. I felt out of place, like I didn’t belong among all this beauty. The whole reason I came to the store was to buy something special, something to lift my spirits. I needed a distraction from the fight and the doubts swirling in my mind. Shopping was supposed to help me feel better, but it

  • Claimed By The Mafia Boss   Orchestrate

    ENZO MORETTI On Thursday, I was scheduled to appear in court for the charges related to Terry’s death. The accusations were still there, and I was anxious about what the day would bring. I knew I was innocent, but proving it felt like an uphill battle. Late Wednesday night, my assistant called me with surprising news. An anonymous source had released a video showing someone shooting Terry in the alley where his body was later found. The footage was spreading fast, and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Blogs and news outlets were buzzing, claiming the shooter in the video was me. But when I saw the footage, it looked nothing like me. The figure’s build and movements were completely different. I knew for certain it wasn’t me, but doubt still lingered about how others would see it. I wasn’t sure what this new evidence meant for my case, so on Thursday morning, I got up, dressed, and headed to court as planned. My nerves were on edge, but I had to face whatever came next.

  • Claimed By The Mafia Boss   Fuck Everyone But The Business

    MARCO MARTINS “If it was there with him, it must be important. Has he taken the bait yet?” Enzo asked in a hushed voice as we walked toward our table. It was nestled by the tall glass windows, with a cozy fireplace glowing nearby. Isa and Cleo were already seated, waiting for us. “Not yet. He’s been tied up with work, so…” I said, letting my words trail off as we reached the table. Cleo flashed me a bright smile, her lips shining with bold red gloss that caught the light. I slid into the seat beside her and gave her a quick kiss, fully aware we had an audience. Enzo and Isa tried to hide their curious glances but failed miserably, their eyes betraying their interest. They brushed it off, and Cleo and I let the moment pass for now. “Nice to see you, Marco,” Isa said, her tone polite, likely just out of courtesy. I didn’t dislike Isa, but I’d never been fond of her either. Learning she was directly tied to the person who hurt my family only made things worse. “How was Florida?

  • Claimed By The Mafia Boss   Time Counts Down

    ISABELLA GARCIA As soon as I had a free moment, I hopped in my car and headed to the salon for a haircut. To be honest, it wasn’t just the haircut that had me excited to step out. Yes, I did need a haircut but even more, I needed a break. I wanted to lean back, relax, and clear my mind. The salon was the perfect place to unwind and feel at ease. Thanks to Enzo’s connections, I’m treated like a VIP client here, getting pampered while getting a fresh makeover. In my book, that’s a total win-win situation. Daphne, my favorite stylist, grabbed a handful of my hair and brushed it gently. She spread the strands across her arm, inspecting them closely for a moment. “I can give you the style you want and still mix things up a bit,” Daphne said, carefully moving the hair away from my face. “How would that work?” I asked, curious. Daphne stood behind me, holding her scissors in her right hand, ready to work her magic. She touched my hair, and we both studied my reflection in the mirro
