ELIZABETH’S POV

The room was quiet now. The chaos from the attack had faded into a haunting memory that hung in the corners like smoke that refused to clear. Adam was asleep—finally. His breathing was uneven, his skin pale, but he was alive.

Alive.

I’d cleaned and rewrapped his wound twice already, just to be sure there was no new bleeding. Raphael had arrived hours ago and swept the house, confirming the attackers were all dead. Three men. All armed, all prepared, all gone now.

  • Engage To The Wrong Mafia Boss   Chapter 172

    Alessia's POV Dominic held the boy, while I scooped the little girl in my arms. The moment I walked in to my house I saw the decoration."Congratulations mom. Welcome home!"I had no tears left to cry as I looked from the decorations to Marco , who scooped Ella into his hands, to Elijah who kept grinning from ear to ear."This is beautiful genuinely," I said, my voice god must betraying how I felt inwardly."And here are your pineapples ma" Dominic said, after keeping the babies in the nursery.They wouldn’t stop teasing me about the pineapple. Equally, Marco handed me a small gift basket—overflowing with pineapples. Dried, candied, canned, juiced, even a plush toy shaped like one.“Really?” I asked with a smile, raising an eyebrow.He smirked. “A token of honor. For the Queen of Cravings.”Dominic added, “Don’t forget the midnight tantrums when we ran out. That’s history right there.”The twins gurgled in my arms like they were in on the joke. I rolled my eyes dramatically, but could

    Elizabeth’s POVStanding frozen in the basement, Adam’s arms around me, his hands still sticky with Enzo’sblood. Corinth’s laugh echoed in my ears, and the faint crash of glass upstairs sent a chillthrough me.My hand gripped my belly, the baby kicking hard, as fear clawed at my chest. The villa wassupposed to be safe now, with Corinth caught and Enzo dead, but that sound was sharp,deliberately told me we weren’t out of danger.Adam’s face hardened, his gun still in hand, and he turned to Raphael, who was alreadymoving toward the stairs.“Stay with her,” Adam barked, his voice sharp.“I’m checking it out.”I grabbed his arm, my voice shaking.“No, don’t go. What if it’s another attack?”He cupped my face, his eyes fierce.Raphael.”“I’m not letting anyone get to you. Stay here withBefore I could argue, a sharp pain shot through my belly, so intense I gasped, doubling over.Adam caught me, his face pale.“Elizabeth? What’s wrong?”I clutched his arm, breathing hard.“I don’t k

    Adam's POV Raphael knocked on the door.“Sorry to interrupt,” he said, stepping in. “But we have a problem.”Elizabeth straightened immediately. I stood, instinct kicking in. “What kind of problem?”“Movement on the perimeter,” he said. “Cameras caught Corinth’s men circling the east side. We’ve already tightened security, but…”“But if Corinth’s still pulling strings, he’s not done.” I finished.Elizabeth’s breath hitched. “I thought this was over.”I turned to her. “It is. For you. For the baby. I’ll handle the rest.”“No.” She stood slowly, wincing slightly from the weight of her belly. “We handle it together.”I hesitated, but she looked resolute. And I knew better than to argue with her when she was like this.“All right,” I said. “But you stay near Raphael.”We moved downstairs, the tension sharp in the air. The villa’s halls were dim, the security team alert and silent. I could feel it in my gut—something was off.“Anything from Corinth directly?” I asked Raphael as we approac

    I should’ve known the second round of pregnancy would hit harder. I wasn’t twenty-three anymore, I wasn’t hiding from the mafia, and I certainly wasn’t ready to swell like a balloon all over again.I knew Dominic was taking his time to be a father he wasn't when I was pregnant with the twins. He was absolutely dotting, never complaining and understanding. Sometimes, I feel bad for talking to him in horrible ways, but I couldn't help it. I had to blame it on the hormones.By the third month, my belly had already begun to show. It wasn’t huge per se—just enough to make every pair of jeans feel like betrayal and every fitted top a personal insult. The moment I waddled into the kitchen wearing Dominic’s oversized hoodie, Ella gasped like she’d seen Beyoncé.“MOMMY, YOU’RE ROUND!” She screamed with wide eyes.Dominic nearly choked on his coffee.“Thank you, darling,” I said dryly, rubbing my stomach. “I was hoping someone would point that out.” I said sarcastically.Elijah peered around th

    Dominic's POV “Kids,” I said, crouching down in front of the twins. “We’re going to have to head home early.”Ella's face dropped dramatically. “But why? Ee are not to leave until Monday.” she said sadly, her eyes dropping."I'm so sorry, but your mum is not feeling to well," I said deadpan. I hate to be the one announcing a bad news.“Is Mom okay?” Eli asked, suddenly serious.I glanced toward the closed door of the bathroom where Alessia had been locked in for nearly half an hour. The sounds of retching had stopped, thankfully, but the worry hadn’t.“Let's just say she’s not feeling great,” I said gently, brushing Ella’s hair back. “So we need to get her to the doctor. We’ll come back another time. Promise.” I said truthfully.The disappointment in their eyes faded quickly when Alessia stepped out, pale-faced but managing a smile. “Sorry, guys. Looks like the the vacation is ruined”Elijah gave her a quick hug. “Get better soon, Mom.”Ella nodded. “And maybe next time we won’t let

    Dominic’s POVMarco didn’t say much the next morning. He stood in the doorway, duffel bag slung over his shoulder, a plane ticket to New York tucked into the front pocket of his jacket. Alessia lingered beside him, arms folded across her chest, trying to hide the chaos of emotions swirling behind her calm.“You don’t have to go yet,” she said quietly.Marco gave her a faint smile. “I think I do.”He looked at me with a smirk.He looked healthier now, more focused. The circles under his eyes were still there, but they were less haunted, like he had finally let go.“We both know my presence here is too much,” he continued. “You’ve got your family now. Your peace and I won’t want to disturb that.”I respected him for that. For knowing when to step back. But I also knew how much it cost him to walk away from his sister again. He had barely gotten to know the twins. And Alessia, well, she never said it, but I knew this goodbye was breaking something in her.“You’ll visit?” she asked, her
