CLEO GARCIA

My heart raced as I sat in the taxi, digging through my pocket for change. I was stalling, and I’d done a good job of it all day.

Marco had given me a task. He wanted me to take charge of their PR management, which meant I had to visit the M & M head office. I’d never been there before—never had a reason to. I was a journalist, trained in school with a Master of Arts degree in journalism. But I wasn’t a PR manager. I didn’t know the first thing about handling public image. All I knew how to do was tell stories and write headlines.

A loud horn blared behind my cab, making my skin jump. My driver glanced up at the rearview mirror. A car was waiting for our spot so it could pull into the parking lot.

“Please hurry up, miss. I don’t wanna get a ticket,” my cab driver said, starting the engine.

He had no choice. The horn stopped once he began to move forward. I paid him because there was no more time left to waste.

I’d already wasted plenty earlier. At the coffee stan

  • Claimed By The Mafia Boss   Right For You

    ENZO MORETTI Emiliana stood at the door to our bedroom, her figure framed in the soft light. I glanced at her briefly, already guessing she was here to talk about lunch plans. “Where’s Isa?” I asked instead, pulling my shirt over my head in one quick motion. My voice was casual, but my mind was elsewhere. Emiliana leaned against the doorframe, her nails gripping the solid wood tightly. The raven ring gleamed on her middle finger, catching my eye. It was a small detail, but it stuck with me. I’d been piecing together what she might know about us. When I realized she didn’t recognize my surname, I was furious at first. Then relief washed over me, only for the anger to creep back in. Marco had brought it up with his mother, but she shut the conversation down fast. She wanted no part in our plans, not even if we were seeking justice for the attack they’d faced. “A friend is visiting Isa downstairs,” Emiliana said, her voice steady but soft. She stepped into the room, her move

  • Claimed By The Mafia Boss   Arash Joins Us For Lunch

    ISABELLA GARCIAI stood outside, soaking in the scenery, when Mum approached me with her usual confident stride. “I see you’ve reconnected with Arash,” Mum said, her voice dripping with that scheming tone she always used, like she was pulling strings behind the scenes. Her words irritated me, and my heart raced with a mix of anger and unease. I took a deep breath to steady myself. “Yes, he was Ethan’s doctor after his fall,” I said, turning to face her, locking eyes so she’d know I was serious. “Why are you bringing this up now?” Mum blinked, completely unfazed by my question, her expression calm and controlled. Instead of answering, she looked past me, her gaze settling on someone behind my shoulder. Slowly, she reached out, waving her hand. “Come on, she’s right here,” she called, her voice loud and inviting to whoever was approaching. Mum leaned in closer, bending slightly to meet my eyes. “Arash asked to see you, and I allowed it. He’s joining us for lunch,” she said, her w

  • Claimed By The Mafia Boss   The Shadows From Our Past

    ENZO MORETTI “Your mama said we’re going home, so that’s what we’re doing,” I told Ethan, forgetting to soften my words for him. Isa stood by the door, waiting for Ethan and me, her arms crossed tightly. Ethan’s eyes flicked between us, filled with hurt and betrayal, like we’d let him down. It was clear he wasn’t ready to leave. He’d been stuck in that house for too long, cooped up with nowhere to go. Why couldn’t Isa stop being so selfish for just one damn minute? “Ethan, let’s go,” I said, my voice low but burning with quiet anger. I wasn’t mad at him, not really. It was that doctor I wanted to slam my fist into, wipe that smug look off his face. Who did he think he was, acting like he knew everything? Like he knew her more than I did. And Isa, she just went along with it, disrespecting me in front of everyone. Coming to this miserable city was a mistake. I only followed her here to see her mom, the woman who probably destroyed my family. Isa’s mom was why I grew up witho

  • Claimed By The Mafia Boss   Fire In A Glance

    ISABELLA GARCIA I waited until Enzo had completely disappeared from view before I spoke a single word. My chest felt heavy, like something was trying to burst out, but I couldn’t pinpoint the emotion overwhelming me. It was a confusing mix, swirling inside. “Are you married to that guy?” Arash asked, his lips curling into a small, teasing smile. “Before you start judging me, let me explain. Ethan’s the reason I never finished school. I’m not a doctor, and I’m not practicing medicine,” I said, my voice shaky. Arash’s face changed, clearly caught off guard by my words. He hadn’t expected that. He stood taller and stepped closer to me. “Wait a second, hold on,” Arash said, gently cutting me off. His eyes locked onto mine, like he was searching for the truth. My heart skipped a beat. Back in high school, keeping secrets from Arash was nearly impossible. He always had a way of figuring things out. He was so sharp, so aware, and… I stopped myself, turning away from him quickly

  • Claimed By The Mafia Boss   A Dove

    ENZO MORETTI Brittany directed Bobby to drive us to the nearest hospital as fast as possible. Isa sat in the backseat, cradling Ethan tightly, her voice soft but trembling as she repeatedly asked him if he was okay. She was focused on him, her worry clear in every word she spoke. The tension in the car felt heavy, and Isa hadn’t said a single word to me since we left the scene. “Oh, my poor baby. Does it hurt anywhere?” Isa asked gently, her fingers brushing Ethan’s forehead with a tender, loving touch. Concern and love filled her eyes, her gaze locked on him as if nothing else in the world mattered. She was completely absorbed in making sure he felt safe and cared for in that moment. “A little,” Ethan replied weakly, his voice small and tired from the ordeal. He turned his head slightly to look at me, his eyes searching for comfort. “I want to go back,” he said softly, his words breaking my heart as I realized he meant back to the fun of the tour. Isa didn’t like his req

  • Claimed By The Mafia Boss   Wreck

    ISABELLA GARCIA One moment can change everything in an instant. In just one fleeting second, wars are won or lost, lives end, and for us, Ethan wasn’t okay. That single moment turned our day upside down. Getting on the cable cars was the exciting start of our tour, and Ethan was excited about it. He couldn’t stop talking about the adventure ahead, his eyes bright with anticipation. Everyone around us felt his excitement. That is until he missed a step and crashed to the floor. His fall echoed in my ears, a heavy thud that froze my heart. It was a moment I wasn’t prepared for. The blood rushed to my head, and my voice caught in my throat in that instant. Panic surged through me, locking my words away. I couldn’t even call out his name right away. I hated how much it shook me, the awful sound of his little body hitting the floor. I hated how long it took me to snap out of it and move. My legs felt heavy, stuck in place. It felt like an eternity, but it was only a brief moment
