Claimed By The Mafia Boss CHAPTER 58
CHAPTER 58LUCAThe footage played in silence.Adrien stumbled during his spin. Again.I watched him catch himself on shaky legs, fists raised, jaw clenched like he was trying to prove something. To himself. To me.Maybe both.The sound was muted, but I didn’t need audio. The body tells you everything.The tension in his shoulders. The slight limp from the fall he’d taken two days ago. The way he didn’t even flinch when Matteo corrected him sharply. He just nodded and went again.Like a machine trying to stay human.I leaned back in the leather chair, a glass of whiskey cradled in my hand.“You’re getting comfortable,” I murmured to no one.Cozy. That’s what this was starting to feel like.He'd stopped screaming at the guards. Stopped trying to run.Started folding his clothes neatly. Making the bed. Eating whatever was brought to him, even if he gagged halfway through.I took another sip. Let the burn coat my throat.I should’ve broken him. Or left him shattered.But Adrien was adapt

CHAPTER 57ADRIENI was still sweating from training.My shirt clung to my skin, and I could taste salt on my upper lip. My arms ached, but it was a good ache. A sore, familiar one.Matteo walked beside me, silent as always. Not hovering, not treating me like glass. Just… there.And weirdly, I didn’t hate it.“I landed that last takedown,” I muttered, glancing sideways.He didn’t look over. “You slipped. You landed it because I let you.”I groaned. “You’re such an ass.”Now he did glance over—just briefly—and I could’ve sworn I saw the ghost of a smirk.Almost.We rounded the corner toward the east wing, the one with the garden view and Luca’s cold, empty office at the end. I’d memorized every inch of this house. Every locked door. Every camera.But I hadn’t expected her to be there.Alexis.Perched like a fucking painting in the hallway, leaning lightly against the window frame, sipping something from a porcelain cup like she was the Virgin Mary herself.Her hair was curled. Her lips

ADRIEN I tried to eat today.It felt like lifting weights with my tongue.Every bite was a battle — not against hunger, but against nausea. The eggs were too soft. The bread, too dry. The soup tasted like regret.Still, I tried. I chewed slowly. I swallowed. I smiled.I even tried a joke."How many Moretti guards does it take to screw in a lightbulb?"Silence.Not even the guard by the door cracked a smirk. Matteo, sitting stiffly across from me, gave a polite cough and immediately looked at his plate.My smile twitched. "I guess we’ll never know. None of them talk, and they all look constipated."Nothing.Just forks on ceramic. The sound of chewing. The slow, cold ache of being tolerated.My laughter faded. I pushed my bowl away and leaned back in the chair."Okay," I murmured. "Tough crowd."Matteo glanced at me finally, but it wasn’t the warm gaze I remembered. It was clinical. Distant. Like I was a fragile package and he’d been told not to drop it."You good to walk today?" he a

ADRIENI lay down hours later, eyes on the ceiling, the sheets stiff beneath me.The air smelled like disinfectant. Like a hotel room that no one stayed in.And somewhere in my chest—buried beneath all the anger and betrayal—was something worse.Something smaller.Something like heartbreak.Because no matter how much I told myself I hated him right now… a part of me still wanted him to come.To unlock the door.To look me in the eye.And say this wasn’t what he meant.That I wasn’t just a prisoner again.He didn’t come.Not the next day.Not the one after that either.Not even to say hi. Or stay alive. Or I haven’t completely forgotten you exist.Luca was gone. Or maybe he was close — just silent. Which somehow hurt worse.I paced the length of the room again, back and forth, the cold floor biting at my feet. My stomach twisted with something sharp and empty. I’d barely eaten in two days. Nothing stayed down.Everything I forced myself to swallow just came right back up.Sometimes it

CHAPTER 54ADRIEN I’d been staring at the same spot on the wall for at least twenty minutes.Maybe more.The silence in the room was suffocating. No TV. No music. Just me. Sitting on the edge of the bed, barefoot, wearing one of Luca’s shirts that still smelled faintly of his cologne. I didn’t know if that made things better or worse.He hadn’t checked on me.Not after he came home drenched in blood. Not after he kissed my forehead like I was a fucking child. Not after locking down the house like we were in a damn war zone.He hadn't come back.He always came back.Until now.I blinked and looked toward the hallway. The light under the door remained undisturbed. Not a shadow. Not a sound.What the hell had changed?I stood up and paced the room, chewing on the inside of my cheek. My body still ached from lack of sleep, my head spinning with half-finished thoughts.Why was he being like this?What the fuck did I do?Knock. Knock.I jumped.I stared at the door.Another knock. Heavier

CHAPTER 53LUCAThe call came in at midnight."Shipment from the Laurents is moving through Vaucluse. Minimal protection. Easy pickings."Bullshit.And yet, something about it sat like glass in my gut. I stood in my office, eyes locked on the warehouse schematics spread across my desk. Matteo stood near the window, arms folded, watching me like I was about to do something stupid."It's bait, Luca. You know that.""Maybe.""There is no maybe. They know you’ve been bleeding their docks dry for weeks. Why would they suddenly get sloppy?"I turned to face him, jaw clenched. "Because they want me to ignore it."Matteo took a step forward. "Or they want you dead."I grabbed the comm and barked, "Gear up. Four cars. Tactical loadout. We move in fifteen."Matteo swore under his breath. "You’re not thinking straight.""I’m thinking exactly straight. If this is real, we cut off a major route. If it’s a trap, we kill whoever set it. Either way, I win."Vaucluse – 2:34 AMThe air stank of gasolin
