ELIZABETH'S POV

He looked at me in horror, trying to understand what I meant. It took him five minutes to put the pieces together.

'You are getting married? To whom? Where? How? I don't understand you, Elizabeth. What happened in the two days I let you be?' He asked, his eyes tilting in confusion less than concern.

I tightened my lips. I didn't want to tell him too much. I didn't trust him enough either, ever since he disappeared without a word.

'You'll get to know soon enough,' I said and walked towards my vanity, taking out things I'll need.

'You'll need more of that perfume,' Lance said with a knowing smirk.

'Guess you catch on quick,' I said, mirroring his enthusiasm.

'But this is suicide. You know he'll kill you if he discovers who you are. The Mafia is ruthless and Adam is no exception. Your late parents will understand that you tried revenging them. You don't have to kill yourself, child.' Lance said, walking up to me.

I am almost reminded of my dad because they both share the

  • Engage To The Wrong Mafia Boss   Chapter 105

    Adam’s POVThe door slammed shut behind me, sealing the cold basement room in silence. Only the low, steady hum of the fluorescent lights overhead remained a harsh white glow that made every detail look uglier than it was.Corinth sat bound to the iron chair at the center of the room. Heavy leather straps wrapped her wrists and ankles.Her hair hung in damp strands across her face, sticking to the bruises already forming there. Blood had dried on her lip. One eye was swelling shut.She was trying to hold herself upright, but her shoulders were slumped. She trembled in the cold, half-naked under the ripped remnants of her blouse.I stopped two feet in front of her.Raphael stood in the corner, arms crossed, eyes watching both of us.“Leave us,” I said softly.Raphael gave a short nod and walked out, closing the heavy steel door behind him with a final metallic thud.Silence.I could hear her breathing short, sharp, ragged.“Look at me,” I said.She didn’t move at first.I reached out,

    Adam’s POVThe tunnels were dark and narrow as I walked slowly, listening.Every sound was louder here: the scrape of her boots, the ragged breathing she couldn’t hide, the way she tried to be silent and failed.Corinth thought she was escaping. She was wrong.I checked the small monitor in my palm. Her red dot moved carefully through the old servants’ tunnels. She didn’t know I was behind her, silent as death.I kept my breathing calm. Hunting wasn’t about rage. It was about control. That was what my father taught me.“Never show anger,” he’d say, voice low over the crackle of a fire. “Anger blinds you. Control gives you power.”I let his words guide me. My fingers rested on the butt of my pistol, but I didn’t draw it. I didn’t need to. Not yet.Ahead, the tunnels curved left, then right, snaking beneath the estate like a nest of vipers.Corinth was moving fast now. I could hear the slap of her boots on the old stone.She thought I didn’t know these passages. She didn’t know I’d spen

    Adam’s POVThe estate was too quiet. The kind of quiet that makes you hold your breath, waiting for something to break the silence.But beneath the polished marble floors and high ceilings, a battle was happening. A battle I’d started long before Corinth ever stepped inside these walls.I sat in the security room, staring at the bank of screens in front of me.Each screen showed different parts of the estate, but my eyes were locked on one: the dark figure slipping through the maze of halls and corridors.It was Corinth the traitor who thought she could outsmart me.She moved like a shadow, fast and careful, but I could tell she was scared.Her every step showed it fear clinging to her like a heavy cloak she couldn’t shake off. I allowed myself a small smile.She was smart, quick, and maybe even a little lucky but not lucky enough.Without looking away, I gave an order. “Keep the cameras looping, Raphael. Drop the motion sensors in Zone Three by twenty percent. Let her think she’s fre

    Adam’s POVI sat in the study room, tired from checking the business file and reached for the television's remote.I pressed a button and the television came on. I was watching the news and I returned to reading the documents.The second I heard the name Clayridge on the news ticker, I stopped breathing.I stood frozen, my eyes locked on the television screen like it held the keys to the next war.A riot. At Clayridge.I didn’t need to wait for confirmation.My gut knew before my brain did.Richard was gone."Confirmed reports that Mafia suspect Richard Mitch, elder brother to the notorious underworld figure Adam Mitch, escaped the facility early this morning along with six other inmates..."Notorious? Oh damn it.I never went above my own lane and I was making the news because of Richard.The voice of the news anchor turned to static in my ears. I saw the headline. I saw the flames. The chaos. The confusion on the guards’ faces. It all looked staged. Because it was.I’d know Richard’

    Elizabeth’s POVThe first time I pressed the panic button in the elevator, I wasn’t panicking. I was just curious how long it would take for them to get to me.I counted slowly and when it got to none seconds, I got my answer.Eight men came charging into the hallway, guns drawn. One of them even barked my name like I was under attack.But I wasn’t.I just needed proof. Proof that this place had stopped being a house a long time ago.Now, it was a cage. Pretty curtains didn’t hide the bars. I wasn't locked up. I was free but I was sick and tired of staying put in this house.I didn’t bother apologizing. I just walked past the guards and headed toward the basement. Their footsteps followed, but I didn’t look back. I kept walking, down the staircase, past the secured corridor with fingerprint locks, straight to the cell where Corinth was held.She sat on the floor like a dead person with her head leaned back against the wall.Somehow I felt pity for her, but I was still mad she had trie

    Lily's POVI didn’t talk to Lance during the whole flight. I didn’t have to. He didn’t expect me to.We sat in silence, an ocean between us despite sitting only one seat apart. In one hand he swirled a whiskey glass slowly. I had nothing. Not even sleep. I hated that I was in this position.When we landed in the States, I braced for the worst. I thought I would be taken directly to some basement then given a gun, a file and told to clean up someone else’s mess. Or even killed. But instead, Lance handed me a manila folder.Inside were fake credentials. It had given me a new name so I could not be easily tracked. New background. I was officially now Samantha Carson, federal corrections officer, Clayridge Maximum Security Prison.My stomach twisted."What is this?" I asked.Lance didn’t smile. "Your clean slate. Your one final task."I really didn't want to and I complained. "This isn’t what I do."Lance picked up and did not care. "You do now."I stared at the folder again. One of the d
