DELIA

Galvin swallowed hard, his eyes darting between my face and my desk.

“Yes,” he said finally, voice firm.

“I deserve my position back.”

The confidence in his tone surprised me.

Annoyed me.

But it also made a small wicked smile pull at the corner of my mouth.

You deserve it?

Really?

“Alright,” I said lightly, tapping my finger against the glass desk.

He blinked fast, like he wasn’t sure he heard me.

“You… you’ll do it?” he asked.

“I said alright,” I repeated, slower now, enjoying his confusion.

“If you believe you deserve your old position, then prove it.”

“Prove it how?” he asked instantly, leaning forward.

I folded my arms.

“Bring me a project.”

He frowned.

“A project?”

“Yes.”

“A real project that would help Windsor Company. Something that would promote the brand and increase sales. Something that shows you actually have something useful in your head.”

Galvin stared at me as if I had suddenly spoken in another language.

“If you bring something reasonable,” I added, shrugging cas

  • Fake Dating The Vicious Mafia Lord.   Chapter 47

    Delia’s POVI couldn’t sleep that night.No matter how I tried to shut it out, the memories kept coming. Leandro's face - expressionless, emotionless. And Matteo... standing there, beaten up, but not saying a word. It was stuck in my head.Matteo, who had been nothing but loyal.If Leandro could do that to him… then he could do far worse to me.The thought settled heavy in my chest.Because I wasn’t innocent.I was the mole.The one who had fed information to Sebastian Callista.The reason Leandro had walked into ambushes.The reason men had died mercilessly, brutally by his orders.And yet, even knowing that, what haunted me wasn’t fear for myself.It was what he’d done to Matteo.I heard a soft tapping and realized it was raining. The sky had opened up while I was lost in thoughts. The sound got louder, filling the room, like everything was washing away.I pushed myself out of bed and walked to the window.Outside, rain was coming down hard, turning everything into blurry lights and

    LEANDROI closed the door to my study behind me and stood there for a moment longer than necessary.Not because I needed calm.I needed to be locked away. Delia's words still rang in my head - sharp and bold. She looked at me like I was messed up. Like I was the bad thing she'd always suspected.Fear of wearing a crown.I poured myself a drink and didn’t drink it.Getting angry doesn't get you anywhere. Losing control is a mess. I've built my success by keeping my cool and thinking clearly. People think being quiet means you're weak, but it's actually a strength.It didn’t.It meant inevitability.The knock came exactly when I expected it.“Come in.”Matteo walked in, standing straight, looking ahead. His jaw was bruised, but he didn't react when I looked at it.“Warehouse Fourteen,” he said. “Same issue.”That word irritated me more than betrayal itself.“Explain.”“One of the men siphoned inventory. Small quantities over time. He thought it wouldn’t be noticed.”I smiled faintly.“T

    DELIAI shut the door really hard.BANG! The walls shook, and the sound was loud, like a gunshot. But it didn't make me feel any better. I was still really angry.My hands shook as I dropped my bag to the floor. I didn’t bother turning on the lights. I didn’t need them. The darkness felt appropriately heavy, suffocating, and honest.I paced.Back and forth. Back and forth.Every step replayed the image I couldn’t shake from my head.Leandro’s face is cold, controlled, and unreadable.Matteo on his feet, bloodied but silent. Loyal to the point of self-destruction.And that bat.I pressed my palms against my temples, squeezing my eyes shut like that might erase it. It didn’t. The sound came back instead. The dull, sickening crack of wood against flesh. The way Matteo absorbed the pain without a word, without a jump, like suffering was just another part of the job.Like obedience meant enduring anything.And Leandro… God.I dragged a hand through my hair and let out a shaky laugh that

    DELIAI stared at him, my breath catching in my throat.“You’ll… protect them?” I asked quietly.Matteo didn’t look at me when he answered. His eyes stayed on the road, hands steady on the steering wheel.“Yes.”Just one word.Not dramatic.Not emotional.Certain.Something warm and terrifying settled in my chest.“Thank you, Matteo,” I said softly.He nodded once, like that was the end of the conversation. Like he hadn’t just promised something that could easily get him killed.I swallowed and cleared my throat.“Ahem… Matteo?”His eyes lifted to the rearview mirror, meeting mine for a brief second.“Yes, Miss Delia?”I hesitated, then decided to jump straight in.“Do you like my friend Carrie?”His grip on the steering wheel tightened just slightly. If I hadn’t been watching him so closely, I might have missed it.His eyes flicked to the mirror again, then quickly back to the road.That was all the confirmation I needed.I smirked.“So… you do like my friend.”He shook his head once

    DELIA My first day at the office felt wrong.It was a quiet graveyard. The kind of silence that pressed in on your ears and made your skin crawl, like the walls were alive and remembering everything that had happened down there. Every scream. Every drop of blood. Every truth I could never forget.And the worst part?I wasn't scared today.I enjoyed it.I enjoyed watching my ex’s face drain of color when he realized I wasn’t the helpless girl he used to control. I enjoyed seeing fear replace arrogance. Power replaced panic.The idiot actually thought he could threaten me into giving him his position back, though dangling some pathetic article about me sleeping with Leandro over my head would make me crumble.As if my life hadn’t already been dragged through hell. As if Leandro Cavalli was something you could use as blackmail and walk away breathing.What a delusional, pathetic piece of shit.And as I stood there in that suffocating silence, I realized something that unsettled me far m

    LEANDROThe moment the office door closed behind my last meeting, silence wrapped around me like a second skin.My company’s executive board had left thirty minutes ago… yet my mind wasn’t on business.It was on her.Delia.The fragile girl who once trembled in fear every time someone raised their voice now walked into Windsor Company like she owned the damn building.My woman was turning dangerous…and I didn’t know if I should be proud or worried.I leaned back in my leather chair, loosened my tie, and dialed the number I had memorized without trying.Matteo answered on the first ring.“Boss,” he breathed.“How is she?” I asked immediately.There was a hesitation.A long one.Matteo never hesitated.“She almost crossed a line today,” he said finally.My jaw tightened.“What line?”“She ordered me to take her ex,” Matteo said, voice low, “to the basement.”My fingers drummed on the table. Slowly. Dangerous.“And did you?”“Yes.”My jaw clenched harder.A muscle jumped in my cheek.“An
