Collateral Heart : Owned By The Mafia King Chapter 34
Vincent studied her for a moment. Then turned away slightly, walking back toward the couch.For a brief moment, he said nothing when he finally spoke, his voice carried something different. “Even if I wanted to release her,” he said calmly, “I can’t.”Jessica froze. “What do you mean?”Vincent glanced over his shoulder. “Elena Jefferson is no longer in my custody.”The words hit the room like a second shockwave.Stacy blinked.Jessica frowned in confusion.Mia slowly straightened again, her expression tightening. “What are you saying right now? “Then where is she?” Stacy demanded.Vincent’s expression remained unreadable. “She is safe,” he said simply. “But she is not here.”Because for the first time since this entire nightmare began—They realized Vincent Ross was not their final answer.He was only another door.And whatever was behind it… was worse than they expected.Mia’s brows knitted tightly as Vincent’s words settled in the air, and after a brief silence she finally spoke, h

Mia exhaled slowly, as if forcing herself to push through the weight of Vincent Ross’s presence, and when she finally spoke, her voice carried a sharp edge of determination that refused to break under pressure. “There’s no need for introductions anymore,” she said firmly, her gaze locked on him, “because we already know who you are. And we’re not here to play games.” Jessica stiffened slightly beside her, while Stacy shifted uneasily in her seat, but Mia didn’t move, didn’t blink, didn’t give Vincent the satisfaction of seeing hesitation in her eyes. “We know you took Elena,” she continued, her voice rising with conviction, “and we’re not leaving here until you release her right now.” For a moment, silence settled in the room so heavily it felt like the air itself had tightened. Vincent Ross finally stopped what he was doing. Slowly, deliberately, he set his pen down on the desk. Then he stood. The movement was unhurried, controlled, almost casual, yet it shifted the entire at

An hour later, the three women stepped out of a taxi in front of an imposing glass skyscraper whose polished exterior reflected the afternoon sunlight.Ross Investment Enterprises.The company name was displayed prominently above the entrance.Mia swallowed nervously.Then led the way inside.The interior lobby was even more impressive than they had expected.Marble flooring stretched across the enormous reception area while employees moved efficiently throughout the building, creating an atmosphere that felt more like the headquarters of a multinational corporation than the home of a man rumored to control half of Miami's criminal underworld.The three women approached the reception desk.The receptionist greeted them politely."Good afternoon. How may I help you?"Mia forced a smile."We're here to see Chairman Ross."The receptionist immediately nodded. "Do you have an appointment?""No."The woman maintained her professional smile. "I'm sorry, but Chairman Ross only accepts schedu

For several seconds, Derrick said nothing. When he finally spoke again, his voice was colder than before. "Because love doesn't solve everything."Mia clenched her jaw. "That's not an answer.""Yes, it is." Derek shit back "No, it isn't."Mia argued Derrick sighed heavily.Almost impatiently."Mia, Elena created this problem herself."The statement made Mia's blood boil. "Don't you dare—""Why shouldn't I?" Derek voice rose slightly. "Why should I risk my life for something I didn't create?"The words struck the three women like a slap.Derrick continued before anyone could interrupt. "If everything Rebecca told me is true, then Elena got herself involved with dangerous people.""Rebecca lied." Jessica argued "Maybe." Derek answer was immediate. "But maybe she didn't." The uncertainty in his voice was all Mia needed to hear because it meant he had already chosen.He had already abandoned Elena but He simply didn't want to admit it.A long silence followed before Derrick finally del

Mia's face had darkened considerably.Jessica looked stunned.Even Stacy, who was usually the most impulsive among them, appeared speechless.For several moments, nobody said anything.Then Mia exploded."That's a lie." The words came out so forcefully that several customers glanced toward their table.Mia didn't care. Her grip tightened around her phone. "Every single word of it is a lie."Derrick remained silent.Mia continued before he could respond. "Elena is not a gambling addict." Her voice trembled with anger. "And she certainly isn't some reckless troublemaker who spends her time creating problems for people."Jessica nodded immediately.Stacy looked equally furious.Mia pushed her chair back slightly and stood up. "Yes, Elena wasn't close to most of her family." Her eyes flashed with frustration.“But do you know why?"Derrick didn't answer."Because they treated her terribly."The words came out sharp and immediate."Because most of them spent years pretending she didn't exi

Mia picked up her phone again and stared at the screen. The call log displayed a long list of unanswered attempts.Most belonged to her.Several belonged to Jessica.Even Stacy, despite pretending to be annoyed rather than worried, had called repeatedly.None of them had succeeded.A troubled expression settled across Mia's face."This isn't like her."Jessica's smile faded slightly."No.""It really isn't.” For the first time since sitting down, Stacy stopped acting irritated and allowed the concern she had been hiding to show. Her fingers tightened around her glass. "Something feels wrong."Neither Jessica nor Mia argued because deep down, they felt the same thing.The silence that settled over the table after Mia voiced her concerns lingered longer than any of the three women were comfortable with. The sounds of the café continued around them—the clinking of cups, quiet conversations, and the occasional laughter from nearby tables—but none of it managed to distract them from the gr

The afternoon sun hung high above Miami's bustling streets, casting golden reflections across the glass windows of the cafés and restaurants that lined the busy avenue. The city moved with its usual energy as pedestrians flowed along the sidewalks, cars rolled steadily through the traffic, and conv

The same filtered light slipped through the curtains, the same quiet lingered in the air, and the same carefully arranged space surrounded her but now that Elena understood what it was, the stillness no longer felt calm. It felt deliberate, constructed and controlled.She sat upright against the p

Kaiser didn’t respond as he didn't see any reason to justify her statement. And that— That made it worse.“That’s not a reason,” she continued, her frustration bleeding through now. “That’s not something you build a decision on—it’s not something you ruin someone’s life over.”Her breathing picke

Kaiser stood alone with her, without audience or interpretation, without anyone left to observe whether his control held or fractured. Just him and the one thing that refused to fit into his system.He stepped closer to the bed more slowly this time, his gaze tracing her face—not with softness, no
