Chapter 19

{ALESSANDRO}

I didn’t look at her.

I couldn’t.

The echo of Lorenzo’s voice still clawed at the edges of my mind—You’ll wish she had killed you instead of just kissing you. His words weren’t just a threat. They were a reminder of everything I stood to lose if I let this spiral out of control.

So, I did what I had to do.

“Take her to the basement,” I ordered, voice like stone.

My men didn’t hesitate. Two of them moved toward her, grabbing her arms. She fought—God, she fought like hell—

  • Entangled With The Mafia Underboss    Chapter 20

    Chapter 20{CATERINA}The cold bite of the basement seeped into my bones, wrapping around me like a relentless shroud. The air was damp and heavy, thick with silence—except for the dull thud of my heartbeat, steady but loud in the stillness. I sat against the wall, knees pulled to my chest, my fingers tracing mindless patterns along the concrete floor just to remind myself I was still here—still breathing.Was this going to be it for me? Was this cold, suffocating prison where my story ended?The thought clawed at my mind, dragging me deeper into the pit of dread I’d been trying to avoid. Shadows danced on the edge of my thoughts, bringing flashes of my father’s stern face and Shadow’s easy grin. Were they even looking for me? Did they have any idea what I was going through—locked away like this, with no escape in sight? I imagined my father’s voice, sharp and commanding, cutting through the panic. You’re stronger than this, Caterina. But was I?I tried to hold on to that—his faith in

    Chapter 19{ALESSANDRO}I didn’t look at her.I couldn’t.The echo of Lorenzo’s voice still clawed at the edges of my mind—You’ll wish she had killed you instead of just kissing you. His words weren’t just a threat. They were a reminder of everything I stood to lose if I let this spiral out of control.So, I did what I had to do.“Take her to the basement,” I ordered, voice like stone.My men didn’t hesitate. Two of them moved toward her, grabbing her arms. She fought—God, she fought like hell—but she wasn’t strong enough. Not against them. Not against me. Her glare cut through the air like a blade, fierce and unyielding, but it didn’t stop me from turning my back on her.I heard her voice, sharp and laced with fury. “You’re a coward, Alessandro!”I didn’t react. I couldn’t afford to.The sound of her struggling against them followed me as I walked away, each footstep heavier than the last. Every part of me screamed to stop, to turn around, to undo what I had just done. But I shoved i

  • Entangled With The Mafia Underboss    Chapter 18

    Chapter 18{CATERINA}The room felt like it was closing in, the air thick with tension so sharp I could almost taste it on my tongue—metallic and bitter. My pulse thundered in my ears as I stared at the man who had just stepped through the door. Lorenzo.The name didn’t need to be spoken. I saw it in the way Alessandro stiffened, shoulders locked like he was preparing for an impact. His jaw tightened, eyes darkened—not with anger, but something colder. Fear. Real, raw fear.And suddenly, I understood. This wasn’t just any man.This was Alessandro’s older brother. The one who could make a man like him shrink into silence. I had seen some information about him in the file I was given by my father. It said that he was also a businessman like Alessandro, but he looked much more intimidating than the picture I saw in the file. I thought that section was very unnecessary and that I wouldn't need it. I never thought I would actually get to see him. But here he was.Lorenzo’s gaze cut through

  • Entangled With The Mafia Underboss    Chapter 17

    Chapter 17{CATERINA}I woke up to the kind of hunger that clawed at my insides, sharp and relentless, like an animal demanding to be fed. The weight of the past few days pressed down on me, heavier than the thick duvet tangled around my legs. Memories of Alessandro’s cold stare, the suffocating silence of this gilded prison, and the constant reminder that I wasn’t just a guest here—I was a prisoner—flooded in all at once.My stomach growled, sharp and unforgiving. I couldn’t remember the last time I’d eaten a proper meal. Sitting in bed wasn’t going to magically make the ache go away, so I forced myself up, padding barefoot across the cool marble floor. The house was eerily silent, save for the occasional creak of wood settling in the early morning stillness.I slipped out of the room, careful not to make a sound, and navigated through the sprawling mansion’s maze-like corridors until I found what I was looking for: the kitchen. A small victory, but a victory nonetheless.The massive

    Chapter 16{CATERINA}The doctor’s hands were cold against my skin as he examined the bruises along my ribs and back. Every touch sent a fresh wave of pain crashing through me, but I clenched my jaw and kept quiet. I wouldn't give Alessandro the satisfaction of hearing me break.“You’ll need to rest,” the doctor said, voice clinical and detached. “No sudden movements, no heavy lifting. Your ribs aren’t broken, but you’ve got deep bruising. The pain will linger for a while.”I didn’t respond. Rest wasn’t an option.The doctor packed up his things and left with a nod toward Alessandro. The door clicked shut behind him, and the room fell into suffocating silence.The cold bite of the alcohol lingered long after the doctor left, leaving my back bandaged and my pride in ruins. Alessandro stood by the window, arms crossed, eyes dark with something I couldn’t name—frustration? Anger? Pity? Whatever it was, I didn’t want it. I shifted, trying to sit upright on the couch, but pain clawed at my

  • Entangled With The Mafia Underboss    Chapter 15

    Chapter 15{CATERINA}As soon as I let go of the blankets, I closed my eyes and braced myself for the undeniable pain that would welcome me by the time I hit the floor. And it came.The impact was brutal. My back hit the floor with a force that rattled my bones, knocking the air right out of my lungs. Pain tore through me, sharp and unforgiving, spreading like fire from the base of my spine to every nerve in my body.I gasped, chest heaving, but breathing only made it worse. A deep, searing ache settled in my ribs, each inhale sending a fresh wave of agony through me. My vision swam, dark spots creeping in, but I clenched my teeth, forcing myself to stay conscious.I tried to move, to shift even an inch, but the moment I did, pain shot through me like a blade slicing through flesh. A strangled sound slipped from my lips, frustration laced with agony.Then, footsteps. Fast. Rushed. And then—"Caterina!"Alessandro’s voice. Sharp. Desperate.I couldn't let him get to me. If I remained o
