[Elena's POV]

I looked at our reflection in the tall mirror.

Noah stood right behind me, completely dressed in his dark suit. I was wearing nothing but a thin layer of emerald green silk.

My entire back was bare.

Just a few feet away, on the other side of the dark red curtain, I could hear the faint, polite voices of the saleswomen.

I could hear Caleb shifting his weight, his heavy boots squeaking slightly on the polished floor. They were ri

  • Dumped Yesterday, Owned by My ex's Mafia Uncle Today   Chapter 135

    [Elena's POV]I read it twice.The white skull seal. The one Jake had sent me to steal, while Caroline slipped in to take it herself, using me as nothing more than a distraction.They'd forged Noah's authorization with it. Pulled his own guards off the weapon warehouse, cleared the path, and walked Iron Vultures' remnants straight through the front door. Or made it look that way.Either way, the order had Noah's name on it.My phone lit up with a call.Noah.I stared at his name on the screen for one full second. The call I'd been trying to make for three hours.I picked up."Elena Campbell!!!!" His voice was low and dangerous. "Where are you?""I can explain everything," I said. "Noah, the seal...""Where. Are. You."[Noah's POV]"Boss! Urgent!"Dario bypassed the seated family elders, breaking every established protocol of a Marlowe Enterprises meeting. He walked straight to the head of the table and slid a single sheet of paper over my quarterly financial reports."We lost the Broo

  • Dumped Yesterday, Owned by My ex's Mafia Uncle Today   Chapter 134

    [Elena's POV]The east garden ran along the oldest section of the estate wall, where the stone had settled unevenly over decades and the ivy had grown thick enough to obscure the top.I found the ladder propped against the wall near the potting shed. It had been there all week. I'd walked past it four times without registering it as anything useful.I registered it now.I moved it quietly to the least visible section of the wall, the corner where the security camera had a blind spot I'd noticed months ago when I was sketching the garden.I climbed carefully, keeping my weight even, one hand braced against the stone.At the top, I sat for a moment. The drop on the other side was manageable, a meter and a half to soft grass. I lowered myself as far as my arms would reach, let go, and landed with bent knees, absorbing the impact through my legs.The jar traveled straight up my spine. I pressed a hand to my stomach on instinct, then made myself move.A dark blue Aston Martin idled at the

    [Elena's POV]Noah was gone before I woke up.I knew it the second I reached across the mattress and felt cold sheets. No indent. No warmth. He'd left early enough that the pillow had already reset.I lay there for a moment, staring at the ceiling.Last night I'd looked him in the eye and said no, not telling him I had his baby. And he'd known I was lying. I could see it in the way his thumb stilled against my jaw, the fractional tightening around his eyes before he stepped back.Noah Marlowe had spent thirty years learning to read people, and I'd given him exactly enough truth to confirm the lie.Caleb was in the downstairs hallway when I came down. He stood with his good arm holding a tablet, the bandaged shoulder still visible under his jacket. He looked up when I reached the bottom step."Morning," I said."Miss Campbell." His voice was exactly what it had been in month one, flat, professional, nothing behind it. He looked back at his tablet. "The Boss has a board meeting at Marlo

  • Dumped Yesterday, Owned by My ex's Mafia Uncle Today   Chapter 132

    [Noah's POV]The photograph arrived at six-fourteen the next morning.I sat behind my desk. The new security chief, Dario, had just left the morning briefing files. The estate was secure, but my instincts hummed with a low, constant irritation.Elena was hiding something.She spent the last three days avoiding my direct gaze. Flinching at noises. Going to bed early and resting her hand flat against her stomach when she thought no one watched. I assumed the graduation ceremony brought up old stress.I gave her space. I gave her the gentle touch she asked for last night, swallowing my own rougher instincts to give her what she needed.My personal phone vibrated on the polished wood.An unknown number. A single image attachment. No text.I tapped the screen.Elena, fully dressed, stepping out of Room 14. Jake's suite. The security camera timestamp read 11:47 PM.The air in my office evaporated. I set the phone face-down on the desk. I didn't break the glass or reach for my weapon. The fr

  • Dumped Yesterday, Owned by My ex's Mafia Uncle Today   Chapter 131

    [Elena's POV]Room 14 was a guest suite on the east wing. I knocked twice.Jake opened the door. Dark circles hung under his eyes, the skin of his face pale from lack of sleep and raw panic. He stepped back, leaving the doorway clear.The air inside smelled stale, like burnt coffee and nervous sweat."You're pregnant," Jake stated. He didn't bother locking the door."You searched a bathroom cabinet in your uncle's private suite." I kept my voice flat, refusing to give him an inch. "Do you understand what happens when Noah finds out you trespassed in his territory?"Jake crossed his arms. The muscle in his jaw twitched. "He doesn't want kids. He told me himself. When I show him the test, and tell him about who the father is...""I don't have time for your delusions," I cut him off. "Who do you think the father is, Jake?"He dropped his arms, stepping right into my space. "I narrowed it down to two. First option: Adrian. Your little Vulture thug."A short, dry laugh scraped my throat. L

  • Dumped Yesterday, Owned by My ex's Mafia Uncle Today   Chapter 130

    [Elena's POV]"You're jealous," I said. "Of a milkshake.""I'm not jealous of a milkshake." Noah's hand dropped from my shoulder. He straightened his cuff. "I'm pointing out that you wasted a first experience on someone who didn't deserve it.""That's jealousy.""That's an observation."I looked at him for a moment. "Noah. It was a dairy product."Something shifted in his jaw. Not quite a smile, but close. "We're fixing it," he said, and steered me back toward the corridor exit.Mr. Jackson was behind the counter when we walked in, and he looked up the way he always did when the door opened — then froze with the coffee tamper halfway to the portafilter."Elena." He set the tamper down and came around the counter, pulling me into a hug that smelled like espresso and worn cotton. He held me at arm's length, scanning my face. "Are you okay? I got your messages saying you were safe, but you look... different. Good different. What happened?""Long story."His eyes moved to Noah. Unlike the

    Noah's POV"Don, Marco wants to see you. Something about Jake," Caleb told me as I slid the signed contract across the table.Perfect timing. I didn't even get a chance to breathe before the next fire needed putting out.It had been three hours since I'd left the estate. I wasn't sure how my little

    [Noah's POV]Maybe trying to save face, Jake shoved the blonde forward. "Seriously, Caroline, show my uncle the video you took."The woman smiled sweetly, all fake charm, and pulled out her phone. "Mr. Marlowe, it was her. She's the one who broke your Romanée-Conti."I watched the video.The girl s

    [Elena's POV]I sat in that thought for a second, then stepped out of the car.He knew where Mr. Jackson and my mother were.And the image of those bodies on the ground from last night... the two men he killed... it was getting sharper in my mind.I gave up the idea of running. Even if I wanted to,

  • Dumped Yesterday, Owned by My ex's Mafia Uncle Today   Chapter 11

    Elena's POV"Jake, did you seriously just hit a woman?"Noah's voice was dangerously calm, like he was one second away from putting a bullet between Jake's eyes.And for once, I wasn't focused on Jake because Noah had taken off his mask.I had a rough idea of what he might look like. Sharp jawline.
