DAMIAN

I was on my way to the hospital to check on Diego when a faint murmur caught my attention outside Isa’s door. I stopped, listening.

Liliana’s voice. Low, urgent. Plotting an escape.

A smirk pulled at my lips. Foolish. Did they really think my Isa could leave me? She belongs here with me. Always.

I pushed the door open with a clap of my hands, the sound sharp against the silence. They both spun around, eyes wide like guilty children caught in the act.

Isabella immediately stepped in front of Liliana, shielding her like a mother protecting her child. I had never seen her so protective of anyone before. The same Isa who once raised a gun to my face because of Liliana, now blocking her with her body. That friendship whatever it was ran deep. Too deep.

And that was something I would tear apart piece by piece.

I would strip Isa of every illusion of loyalty, every fragile tie that bound her to someone else. I would break the word friendship until it meant nothing but betrayal to her.

  • Claimed by My Brother’s Best Friend (A Mafia Romance)   CHAPTER 60:The Art of Manipulation

    MATTEOEverything is unfolding exactly as I planned. The clock is ticking, and with every second, I can almost taste my brother’s downfall. Damian thinks France was a punishment, a way to exile me and keep me from the throne. What he doesn’t know is that I, Matteo Vercetti, turned his little game into my playground. I saved his enemies, nurtured his traitors, and now I’ll use them as the blades that cut him down.The stem of my wine glass groaned under the pressure of my grip. The city stretched before me in the night buildings glittering, traffic crawling like blood through veins but all I saw was him. Damian. His face twisted into my reflection, mocking me from the dark pane. The anger swelling in my chest crested like a wave, and with a sharp snap, the glass exploded in my hand.Shards cut into my skin, red beads sliding down my wrist and staining the cuff of my shirt. For a moment, I simply watched them, transfixed. Pain didn’t matter. In fact, it grounded me, reminded me of every

  • Claimed by My Brother’s Best Friend (A Mafia Romance)   CHAPTER 59:Claiming What’s Mine

    MATTEOIsabella’s voice echoed in my head long after the call ended. “Will you help me?”The words weren’t just a plea they were a blade twisting in my chest. I stared down at the phone in my hand, spinning slowly in my chair, the leather creaking under me. This was the woman I loved. The woman who should have been mine. And yet, she belonged to my brother. Damian. My elder brother. My rival in everything that mattered.One decision, one step in her direction, and I would rip apart the bond of blood between us. I knew Damian my brother would burn cities, slaughter armies, destroy anyone who dared take what was his.But Isa didn’t know what I knew. She believed her family’s death was her brother’s fault, a blood debt owed to mine. She had no idea the truth had been poisoned long before that night. I had known for a while now it was the Greco family who planted the lie, who framed her brother, who burned her world to ash. And I watched as Damian hunted shadows, thinking he held control,

  • Claimed by My Brother’s Best Friend (A Mafia Romance)   CHAPTER 58:Between Loyalty and Escape

    DAMIAN“What do you want to do?” she asked.Her voice was steady, but I caught the flicker in her eyes the faint trace of fear she thought she could hide.I smirked, leaning back like a predator who already knew the outcome of the hunt. Who would have thought Liliana, the proud daughter of that family, would end up working for me? But I knew she would. I had done my research, dug deep into her life. Her so-called brothers leeches in expensive suits were bleeding her dry, turning her against her father, stealing her victories as if they were their own. Scum. All of them.Liliana deserved better than to rot in their shadows. She was sharper than they would ever be. Stronger too.But none of that excused the threat she posed to me. She had grown too close to Isabella my Isabella. The thought of them whispering secrets, of Isa pointing a gun at me because of this woman, still burned. Isa belonged to me. She always would. And if I had to rip this fragile bond apart piece by piece, then so

  • Claimed by My Brother’s Best Friend (A Mafia Romance)   CHAPTER 57:The Offer I Couldn’t Refuse

    LILIANAThe door creaked open, spilling a slice of dim light into the basement. Damian’s footsteps echoed against the concrete floor, slow and deliberate, like he was announcing his power with every step. My chest tightened.“What do you want from me?” My voice cracked as it bounced off the cold stone walls.He didn’t flinch. His eyes, sharp and unreadable, locked on me as he pulled a chair into the room. “Nothing much. Have a seat.” He pointed at it like he was offering me tea instead of a death sentence.I froze. What game was he playing? This was the same man who had ordered his men to kill me without blinking. Now he wanted me to sit? Suspicion crawled under my skin. He should have tied me up, chained me down but instead, he let me loose. His expression was a mask, impossible to read, and that made him even more terrifying. What was the mighty Damian up to?Slowly, I lowered myself into the chair, though my pulse hammered so hard it felt like it might crack my ribs. The metal legs

  • Claimed by My Brother’s Best Friend (A Mafia Romance)   CHAPTER 56:Hatred in Her Eyes

    DAMIANDiego’s breath rattled like a broken engine, each inhale dragging pain across his chest. His face was pale, bruises shadowing his jaw, but his eyes those stubborn, burning eyes still clung to defiance.“What do you think Liliana knows?” I asked, my voice low, testing.He grimaced, struggling to push the words out. “She’s sharper than anyone gives her credit for. She found the original video herself, boss. Without help. Without a scratch. If anyone can uncover the truth, it’s her. She can lead us to the estate… and she can root out the spy hiding among us.”His conviction hung in the sterile hospital air. I placed a steady hand on his shoulder before standing. “Rest. That’s your only job now. I’ll take it from here.”The moment I stepped into the car, the world shifted. My driver pulled us onto the road while Richard, ever watchful, turned to me.“Boss,” Richard said carefully, his voice carrying that cautious edge he used when he knew the wrong word could cost him, “what do you

  • Claimed by My Brother’s Best Friend (A Mafia Romance)   CHAPTER 55:The Greco Deception

    DAMIANThe stench of antiseptic clawed at my nostrils, sharp and unforgiving, but it couldn’t mask the metallic tang of blood that clung stubbornly to the air. Shadows pooled in the corners of the hidden hospital room, broken only by the sterile glow of the overhead light.On the bed, Diego stirred. The sound he made a broken groan, raw and guttural scraped against my patience. His skin glistened with sweat, his lips cracked and pale. White bandages swathed him from chest to legs, but they were no longer white. Deep red stains seeped through in patches, spreading like whispers of death. His body looked less like a man and more like a battlefield every bruise and stitch a story of violence meant to silence him.“Lay still.” The words left my mouth smooth, steady. Too steady. Inside, my blood boiled, pressing against my veins, begging to break free.Diego’s eyelids fluttered before they dragged open. His gaze found me, foggy with pain but stubborn enough to hold. For a heartbeat, I caug
