Lucia’s POV

The sharp sound of metal scraped against my ears. It wasn’t loud enough to startle me, but it was enough to make me tense. I had grown accustomed to the quiet hours in the room, the stillness that filled the spaces between my thoughts and breaths. But this was different.

I blinked, and then, slowly, the image came into focus. There he was, standing over me.

Dante.

His face was carved in an expression I couldn’t quite read. His jaw was tight, his eyes locked on mine with an intensity that made my chest tighten. He wasn’t just angry. He looked… broken. As if something inside him had snapped.

I shifted beneath the sheets, reaching out for him. “Dante,” I said with a soft laugh, trying to ease the tension. “You finally showed up.”

But he pulled away, and I literally felt my heart break. Had I done something wrong?

He’d been distant for days, locked away in his room and no one could tell me why.

“Talk to me…” I sat up, my fingers brushing his arm. “what’s wrong?”

  • Claimed By The Mafia Don   Chapter 73 - A Past I Hadn’t Known I Had

    Lucia’s POVI’d stayed longer at my father’s place than I’d planned. I wasn’t sure what Dante would think about my visit, but it didn’t matter. He had already been distant in his own way, his own fortress of secrets keeping me out. The trust I’d once felt between us was slipping through my fingers, and the weight of it pressed heavily on my chest.As I left my father’s place, the streets felt colder than usual. I hadn’t even made it a few blocks when a black van pulled over beside me. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up, instinctively sensing danger. Before I could react, the van doors flew open, and three massive men in black masks grabbed me.I tried to scream, but one of them pressed a rough palm over my mouth. The other men seized my arms, forcing me into the van with brutal efficiency. My body fought, my heart racing, but the air inside the van was heavy with a strange smell—something strong and sickly-sweet. A few moments later, my vision blurred, and everything went black

  • Claimed By The Mafia Don   Chapter 72 - I Didn’t Have A Choice

    Dante’s POVMy mind was racing with possibilities as I waited for the tech guy to finish his analysis. The air was thick with the tension that had been building ever since I realized someone was playing me for a fool. Every second felt like an eternity, and every passing moment only seemed to add to the weight of my suspicion.He finally spoke, his voice low and hesitant. “Boss you need to see this.”I leaned forward, my hands gripping the edge of the desk. “What is it?”He hesitated for a brief second, then continued, “The phone. It’s been hacked. Everything. Your calls, your texts, your location, everything you’ve been doing on it—it’s been tracked. They’ve been one step ahead of you for weeks now.”I narrowed my eyes. “What do you mean, tracked?”“Everything you’ve done, Boss. Your every move. And I’m afraid it gets worse.” He turned his screen toward me, showing me the financial data. “The thief. They’ve been siphoning money straight from your accounts. It’s… it’s been happening f

  • Claimed By The Mafia Don   Chapter 71 - It’s Not Just A Coincidence

    Dante’s POVThe silence in the room was suffocating, heavy with the unspoken tension between Lucia and me. She had told me everything about her family, and the weight of the guilt she carried. But what struck me the most was her belief that it had been a robbery.I leaned back in my chair, my fingers tapping the rim of the glass. It was a lie. A cover-up. She didn’t know the truth, did she? Her father had lied to cover up his sins. She also had no idea that the man responsible for her mother and sister’s deaths was sitting right across from her.I cursed under my breath. How the hell had I ended up here? How had I ended up with her?I set the glass down, my fingers trembling slightly. My phone buzzed, a call coming through. I glanced at the screen, but before I could answer, the call dropped. Strange. I tried again, only to face the same problem.My mind instantly shifted to a darker place—there were too many eyes around. Too many people trying to undermine me.I gripped the phone, fr

  • Claimed By The Mafia Don   Chapter 69 – Pulling The Trigger

    Dante's POVThe days blurred together.I didn’t leave the room. Didn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep.Lucia knocked in the morning, at night, and sometimes in between. I never answered. I just let the weight of everything crush me until it felt like there was nothing left inside my chest.Sometimes, I heard her crying. Soft, quiet sobs from the other side of the door like she didn’t want me to hear. Once, she screamed my name. It sounded broken, like it hurt to say. Lucas pulled her away. I heard his voice calm and low, trying to comfort her.I hated him for that.Other times, it sounded like she was talking to the walls. Whispering things and pleading with a ghost that wouldn’t answer.Maybe I was the ghost now.She would call my name like she hadn’t just shattered my entire world. Like I wasn’t drowning in the blood of her family—blood I’d spilled.But she didn’t know.Did she?That night five years ago… it played on repeat in my head like a fucked-up film reel. A job, Gabriel had said. Not

  • Claimed By The Mafia Don   Chapter 68 - I Killed Them, And Now I Have To Kill Her

    Dante’s POV The documents felt like fire in my pocket. Like they’d scorch a hole through my coat, my skin, my soul. We didn’t speak the entire drive back. I stared out the window, jaw clenched so hard it ached, as Gabriel drove us through the winding city streets like nothing had changed—like my entire fucking life hadn’t just cracked open. When we pulled into the estate, I didn’t get out. Not yet. Gabriel sat back in his seat, fingers tapping the steering wheel like a slow countdown. “You’re holding back,” I muttered. His gaze cut to me. “You sure you want the rest?” I turned to him, fury barely held back. “Don’t start now.” Gabriel sighed. “All right. You want the whole picture? Here it is.” He reached into the center console and pulled out a manila folder—thin, worn, creased like it had passed through too many hands. He slid it into my lap. “Silvano had two daughters,” he said quietly. “The younger one’s name was Mariah.” What was he driving at now? I stare

  • Claimed By The Mafia Don   Chapter 67 - The Revelation

    Dante’s POV The courtyard was silent except for the soft bubbling of the fountain. But the moment Gabriel uttered those words, it felt like the whole night changed shape.My hand flexed around the grip of my gun, though I didn’t draw it. Not yet.“Talk,” I said. “Fast.”Gabriel didn’t flinch. He never did. The man had taught me everything I knew about control, about patience, about when to pull the trigger and when to wait. And that smug, unbothered smile on his face reminded me why I used to trust him with my life.“You’re tense, Dante. Maybe a drive would help.”“A drive?” I scoffed. “You show up uninvited at this hour, drop a bomb on me, and now you want to take me for a fucking drive?”He shrugged. “Just like old times.”I should’ve told him to fuck off. Should’ve gone back to Lucia. But something in his eyes stopped me. That shadow I’d only seen once before, back when we buried a man alive together. Gabriel never wasted time. If he was here at this hour, it mattered.“Give me fi

  • Claimed By The Mafia Don   Chapter 66 – Gabriel Fucking Rucci

    Dante’s POV“What’s wrong?”Her face had gone pale, her hand frozen around her phone. Lucia didn’t speak for a heartbeat. Then another. I moved toward her slowly, my pulse already shifting into that dangerous rhythm I’d come to know too well—the one that meant someone had dared to threaten what was mine.She looked up at me. “I got a text.”I took the phone from her hand gently and read the message.I didn’t speak right away.I stared at the screen, memorizing the words, tasting the venom behind them. My hands curled into fists. Someone had reached past the walls I’d built, past the guards I’d posted, and touched her. Not physically—but it was close enough.Lucia was watching me closely. Brave, despite the fear in her eyes. “I didn’t reply,” she said quietly.“Good,” I said. My voice was low but I felt the violence rising inside me. “I’ll find out who sent this. And when I do…” I paused, leaned in, and kissed her forehead. “…they’ll wish they’d never learned your name.”She didn’t fli

  • Claimed By The Mafia Don   Chapter 65 – They Weren’t Finished

    Lucia’s POVHis voice snaked through the phone like a knife. Familiar, but wrong in every way. I froze. Not from fear, but disgust.“I didn’t just think it,” I said, my voice low. “I did leave you, Daniel.”Silence. Then a cold laugh, bitter and sharp.“You were never meant to belong to him. You belong to me. You always have.”“Daniel,” I hissed, heart racing, “you’re insane.”“You gave yourself to him, didn’t you?” His voice dipped darker, uglier. “Did you think I wouldn’t know? You let him touch you. Take you. Like you’re his. But you’re not. You’re mine, Lucia.”My hand trembled so hard I nearly dropped the phone. The urge to tell Dante, to scream for him, gripped me like a vice. But I didn’t. Not yet.“Don’t call me again,” I said through gritted teeth.“Or what?” His voice dipped with menace. “You’ll send him after me? That killer you sleep beside now? You think he can protect you from what’s coming?”I ended the call not wanting to hear more.I stood frozen, breath hitching. Wha
