Enemies At The Altar Chapter 84
The house was quiet. Not peaceful—just the heavy silence after the storm, when everything stopped but the feelings no one wanted to face.Mia sat on the edge of her bed, still in the same clothes, fingers gripping her sleeves. She hadn’t moved much since she got back. Every time she closed her eyes, the images came flooding back—the chair, the ropes, Ethan’s voice, the door crashing open, Mark.Her chest tightened. She pressed her palms together, trying to steady the storm inside her, but it didn’t help. It wasn’t fear anymore. It was something quieter, darker, and it stayed.A soft knock at the door.She didn’t answer. Not because she didn’t hear it—because she knew who it was.The door opened just a crack.“Are you awake?” Mark’s voice was low, careful.She looked up. He stood there, no jacket, sleeves rolled, like he hadn’t fully come down either.Neither spoke for a moment. Then she nodded.“I couldn’t sleep.”He stepped in silently, closing the door behind him.“I figured.”He di

The mansion gates swung open before the car even came to a stop.Word had traveled faster than the convoy.By the time Mark helped Mia out, half the household staff and the security team were already gathered near the entrance, the air thick with tension.At the top of the marble steps stood Don Romano.He didn’t look like the powerful man who ruled half the city. He looked like a father who had waited too long.“Mia.”Before she could take a step forward, he pulled her into a tight embrace. For a moment, she stiffened—then the exhaustion buried deep in her bones won. She wrapped her arms around him.“You’re hurt?” he demanded, pulling back to examine her face.“I’m fine.”But his eyes caught the fresh bruise on her cheek.His jaw clenched, hardening instantly.“Ethan?”Mark answered without hesitation.“He won’t touch her again.”Romano held Mark’s gaze. For a long moment, loyalty and challenge flickered silently between the two men.Finally, Romano nodded once.“Good.”He placed a g
Enemies At The Altar Ch. 82 – Break the Door
“Warehouse confirmed,” Luca’s voice crackled through the comm. “North docks. Third level. Heat signatures inside.”Mark didn’t answer.He had already seen it.The abandoned shipping depot rose from the fog like something rotting. Rusted metal. Broken windows. A single dim light flickering near the top floor.Ethan liked drama.Mark stepped out of the car before the engine fully died.The air smelled of salt and oil. His men spread out instinctively, weapons ready. No one spoke. No one dared.Mark didn’t wait for a tactical briefing.He walked straight to the entrance.Two guards stood outside the warehouse door, rifles slung casually like they were guarding cargo instead of a death sentence.They barely had time to react.The first one dropped with a silent chokehold and a brutal twist. The second reached for his gun—A single shot echoed.Clean. Precise.The man collapsed.Mark didn’t look down.“ I think she's on the top floor,” Luca murmured.Mark was already moving.Inside, the bu

Luca barked orders. Phones lit up. Locations were pulled from traffic cams, private toll feeds, bribes, favors. The city began tightening like a fist.Mark didn’t wait for reports.He walked.Not fast. Not frantic.Controlled.Which was worse.Within minutes, the war room was alive with static and screens.“Black SUV flagged near the industrial district,” Luca said, eyes flicking between monitors. “Plates swapped twice.”“Thermal?” Mark asked.“Spotty.”“Drones?”“En route.”Mark didn’t sit.He removed his jacket slowly and laid it over the back of a chair like he was preparing for dinner instead of violence.“She’s conscious,” he said.Luca looked up. “You don’t know that.”Mark’s jaw tightened.“I do.”Ethan had made one mistake.He believed this was about possession.Mark knew it wasn’t.It was about protection.And there was nothing more dangerous than a man protecting the one person who could ruin him.They moved out in three SUVs.No sirens.No wasted fuel.Mark sat in the front

“Bring him to me. Alive.” The room didn’t breathe after that.Not Luca.Not the men lining the study walls.Not even Don Romano.Mark didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t need to.The command fell like a blade.Luca was the first to move. “Lock down all exits. Bridges, tunnels, ports. Every Santoro contact gets picked up. Phones seized. Cars stopped.”“Already happening,” another soldier muttered, fingers flying over his tablet.Mark didn’t blink. His eyes were still fixed on the security footage paused on the screen — Mia stepping toward Ethan.Trusting.Alone.He stepped closer to the monitor, fingers pressing against the glass as if he could reach through it and drag her back.“She walked to him,” he said quietly.No accusation. Just a fact.Luca shifted. “He knew she would.”Mark’s jaw tightened.Of course he did.Ethan had always understood one thing about Mia — her compassion.And he’d weaponized it.Mark turned slowly, facing the room fully now. His suit jacket was still dusted f
Enemies At The Altar Chapter 79 – Taken
As they stop in a parking lot to switch to another SUV, so they won't get caught.One of the men smiled again.Polite.Professional.Predatory.“Miss Romano,” he repeated.Mia didn’t freeze.She tries to escape again. One of the men cursed behind her.A hand grabbed her wrist.She twisted hard, elbowing backward like Mark had taught her. Bone met bone. Someone grunted.She kicked.Another grip seized her from behind, arm locking around her ribs. She bit down viciously on a sleeve and tasted blood.“Hold her!”Her scream tore through the air.“Let go of me!”A black cloth pressed briefly over her mouth—she jerked her head away before it sealed.She managed to wrench free for half a second.Then she saw him.Ethan stepped out from behind the SUV.Calm.Controlled.Watching.Her body went still—not from surrender, but shock.“You?” she breathed.The men tightened their hold.Ethan approached slowly, like she was something fragile.Or something owned.“You shouldn’t have run,” he said sof
