CHAPTER 59

ADRIEN

He kissed me like a man starved.

But not for me. For control. For power.

Our teeth clashed. My back hit the edge of the table, the sharp corner digging into my spine, but I didn’t care. Maybe I welcomed the sting.

His hands were already dragging at my clothes, tearing them off like they’d wronged him.

I didn’t stop him.

Couldn’t.

Maybe part of me was desperate too. Pathetic. Wanting to feel something—anything—that wasn’t the cold silence he’d been wrapping me in for days.

I gasped as he spun me around.

The wood was cold against my stomach.

His fingers gripped my hips hard, dragging me back, his breath hot against my neck.

“You’ve been acting up,” he muttered, voice thick with something between mockery and desire. “Slapping me with your bloody hand like a brat.”

I bit my lip.

“I should’ve known,” he whispered as he nudged me open with his knee. “This is what you’ve been begging for, huh?”

I didn’t respond.

Not when I felt the sharp sting of the slap against my thigh.

  • Claimed By The Mafia Boss   CHAPTER 110

    CHAPTER 110LUCA“Boss, you need to see this.”Matteo’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked up from the documents scattered across my desk, my patience already razor-thin.“What now?” I muttered.He tossed a tablet in front of me. A grainy security feed filled the screen—black SUVs parked two blocks down. Men getting out. Russian tattoos. Heavy gear.“They’re here,” Matteo said. “Three cars. About twelve men. They’re spreading out.”My lips curled into something that wasn’t quite a smile. “Already?”“They didn’t waste time,” Damon added, stepping in. “It’s a hit, Luca. This isn’t some warning.”I stood slowly, sliding my gun into the holster at my back. “Good.”Matteo grabbed my arm. “Good? What the hell is wrong with you? You pissed them off yesterday—”“Exactly,” I cut him off. “And now they’re knocking. Let’s give them a proper welcome.”Damon exchanged a glance with Matteo

  • Claimed By The Mafia Boss   CHAPTER 109

    CHAPTER 109LUCAThe knock came just as I was pouring myself a drink.Three sharp raps. Urgent. Too urgent for this hour.“Boss,” Matteo’s voice filtered through the door, low and strained. “You need to come down.”I set the glass down, the ice clinking like a countdown. “What is it?”His silence was enough to twist something in my gut. I swung the door open, and Matteo stood there, jaw locked, eyes hard.“It’s Alexis,” he said.I didn’t flinch. Not outwardly. But my chest tightened just a fraction. “Didn’t I just see her dragged out of my house two days ago?”He didn’t answer. He just turned and walked.I followed.The sight in the foyer made me stop dead.She was slumped against Damon’s chest, barely conscious. Blood on her blouse. Her face—swollen, pale, lips split. Her eyes fluttered weakly as she struggled to focus on me.“Jesus Christ,” Damon muttered under his breath as he tr

    CHAPTER 108LUCA “She’s here,” Matteo said grimly, leaning against my office doorway.“Who?” I didn’t look up from the glass of whiskey in my hand. I already had a headache.“Alexis.”My fingers stilled mid-air. Slowly, I lifted my gaze. “What did you just say?”“She showed up at the gate. Says she wants to talk to you.” Matteo’s face was unreadable. “She looks… bad, Luca. Like she hasn’t slept in weeks.”I downed the rest of the whiskey in one slow burn. “Bring her in.”She entered like a ghost. Pale. Shaking. Her once-perfect hair hung in limp strands around her face. Her dress was wrinkled, smeared with dirt on the hem. She clutched her bag against her chest like it could shield her.For a moment, she just stood there, frozen by the door. Then her eyes met mine.“Luca.” Her voice cracked.“Alexis.” I leaned back in my chair, cold, detached. “You’ve got some nerve coming here.”

    CHAPTER 107ADRIEN “Throw it away.”My voice was flat, sharp enough to slice through the soft chatter of the lobby.My secretary froze, bouquet in hand. White lilies again. Tied with a plain black ribbon. No name. No note. Just… lilies.“I—uh—Sir, it was already delivered to your office. Do you want me to—”“I’ll take it,” I interrupted, stepping forward and grabbing the flowers before she could stammer another useless word.The stems were wet, cold against my palm. The scent hit me, heavy and nostalgic. For a second—just one stupid second—I almost remembered my mother humming in the kitchen.Then I shoved the thought down and kept walking.The lilies had been arriving every morning for weeks. Always the same bouquet. Always unmarked. At first, I told myself it was some business admirer. Maybe a partnership ploy. Then I told myself it didn’t matter.Now, I just didn’t want to admit the truth.Because deep down, I knew.“Sir,” Clara—my secretary—jogged beside me, tablet in hand. “You

  • Claimed By The Mafia Boss   CHAPTER 106

    CHAPTER 106LUCA“He blocked me. Again.”My voice cracked against the silence of my office. The bouquet of white lilies in my hand suddenly felt stupid. Pathetic. Like me.Matteo didn’t even look up from the whiskey he was pouring. “Then maybe, Luca, you should take the goddamn hint.”“I’m not giving up on him,” I snapped, slamming the flowers on the desk. The vase cracked. Water spilled across my papers.He laughed—bitter, tired. “You already did. The moment you lied. The moment you broke him.”My jaw clenched. “It wasn’t—”“It was,” he cut me off, finally looking at me. “Stop rewriting the story to make yourself feel better.”I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair. Adrien wasn’t picking calls. Every number I tried—blocked. Every attempt to see him—his security shut me down. I even drove past his company like a stalker. All I saw was his cold face in those tinted car windows. He didn’t even glance my way.I pulled out the new plan from the drawer. “I’ll send flowers. Anony

    CHAPTER 105TYLER My chest wouldn’t calm down.Even hours after leaving the club, after walking away from him, my heart was still beating like I’d run through fire.Luca.His face was exactly the same. His voice too. But the way he’d looked at me, like he still owned me, like I was supposed to just fall back into his arms and forget everything—that was the part that almost broke me.Almost.But I was past crying. Tears didn’t come anymore. They’d dried up months ago, burned out of me in locked rooms and sleepless nights.So instead of collapsing, I went straight to the training floor.The gun felt heavy in my hands, the metal pressing into my skin. I slammed magazine after magazine into the rifle, firing into the targets until my shoulders ached, until the air smelled of smoke and metal, until my arms shook from recoil.“Again,” I muttered under my breath, sliding another round in. My voice was hoarse, rough, like I’d swallowed glass.The target’s head exploded into paper scraps. Goo
