Delia

Lucas was right outside my room door silent, solid, exactly where I knew he’d be.

He didn’t raise his voice.

I didn't need to.

“You’re not going out.”

I stopped in front of him and tilted my head. “I am.”

“Miss Delia—”

“I’m meeting my friends,” I said calmly. “They’re already there.”

“That wasn’t approved.”

I laughed softly. “By whom? Leandro isn’t even in the country.”

His jaw tightened. “My orders didn’t leave with him.”

I stepped closer, lowering my voice. “Lucas… I’m not asking to dis

    LeandroThe morning sun hadn't quite cleared the horizon when I stepped into my office. The house was quiet, except for the distant sound of the security detail changing shifts. I felt lighter than I had in years. Delia’s conversation with Alexa last night had done more for this family than a hundred strategic meetings ever could.Matteo was already there, leaning against the window sill with a cup of espresso. He looked at me and grinned."Boss, you look like a man who actually slept for eight hours," Matteo noted, tossing a stray folder onto my desk. "Did Delia work her magic, or did the lasagna just sit well?""A bit of both," I said, sitting in my chair and checking the morning reports. "The air feels different, Matteo. Like we finally aired out a room that’s been closed for a decade.""Good," Matteo said, his expression turning a bit more serious. "Because we’ve got forty-eight hours to make sure that air stays fresh before we’re on a plane. Speaking of fresh..." He nodded to

    DeliaLeandro stood up, letting out a long, heavy sigh. He looked exhausted. The lines around his eyes were deeper tonight, carved there by years of holding this city together with nothing but grit and a cold stare. He walked over to me, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me into his chest."I'm beat, Delia," he murmured, resting his chin on my head. "That dinner was more stressful than a sit-down with the Five Families. I think I’m going to pass out the second my head hits the pillow."I leaned back to look at him, smoothing the lapel of his shirt. "You go ahead. I’ll join you in a little bit. I just want to check on her one last time before we turn in."Leandro raised an eyebrow. "You’re going into the lion’s den? She’s probably in there doing push-ups and reciting the family hit list to clear her head.""She’s just confused, Leandro," I said gently. "Go on. Get some sleep. You’ve earned it."He kissed me a slow, lingering kiss. "Don't be too long, Cara mia. The bed fee

  • Fake Dating The Vicious Mafia Lord.   Chapter 139: The Bread Rises in the Quiet

    DeliaThe clock on the wall seemed to tick louder than usual as 8:00 PM approached. I had spent the last two hours scurrying around the dining room, making sure everything was just right. I didn’t want the usual scary Mafia vibe. I pushed the heavy silver platters into the back of the cupboard and told the servants to take the night off after the food was prepped. I wanted this to feel like a home, not a headquarters.I put out a few bottles of that rich red wine from Rafael’s place the kind that smells like old wood and warm nights. The table was covered in a simple cloth, and the smell of Paolo’s lasagna was already wafting through the air.Luca was the first to show up. He looked like he wanted to bolt back out the door. He was wearing a clean black shirt and slacks. He looked sharp, but he was standing so stiffly beside his chair that I thought he might snap in half."Relax, Luca," Leandro said, coming into the room and gesturing for him to sit. Leandro looked unusually relax

  • Fake Dating The Vicious Mafia Lord.   Chapter 138: A Seat at the Table

    LeandroI watched Delia disappear into the kitchen, her laughter echoing down the hallway. Even after everything we’d been through, she still had that spark that stubborn, beautiful desire to make the world a little softer, even a world as hard and jagged as this one. I shook my head, a half-smile tugging at my lips, and turned toward my study. I had business to close out. If we were leaving in seventy-two hours, I needed the transition to be airtight. I couldn't leave Alexa with a mess that would pull me back from the island.The heavy oak doors of the study groaned as I pushed them open. Matteo was already there, leaning against the edge of my desk. He’d swapped his tactical vest for a simple black t-shirt, but he still looked like he was ready to level a building."She’s got you wrapped around her finger, Boss," Matteo said, his voice dry. "A dinner party? In the middle of a power shift? That’s a new one, even for you.""It’s Delia, Matteo," I grunted, sitting down in the leathe

  • Fake Dating The Vicious Mafia Lord.   Chapter 137: The Fragile Quiet

    DeliaI stood by the window of the upstairs landing, watching the black SUVs roll out of the driveway like a funeral procession. Leandro was in the lead car, and somewhere in that fleet of tinted glass and bulletproof steel, Alexa was sitting beside him, dressed in a sharp grey suit that probably felt like a suit of armor.I leaned my forehead against the cool pane. Three days. In seventy-two hours, we’d be over the ocean, leaving this city and its ghosts behind. But as much as I wanted to celebrate, a heavy knot remained in my stomach."They’ll be fine, Miss Delia."I turned to see Matteo standing at the end of the hall. He wasn't in a suit today; he was in tactical gear, his expression serious. Leandro had left him behind to watch over me while they handled the union meeting."Miss Delia?" I started, feeling the weight of the silence. "That’s weird, you know? You always used to just call me by my name, Matteo."He offered a small, knowing smile. "Well... now things are a bit diff

    Leandro"Is that the future you want? A throne made of ice and a heart made of stone? You saw how Delia and I are. We’re leaving this behind. We’re going to be free. You think I could do that if I was alone? You think I’d even want to?""You're the exception, not the rule," she muttered, turning back to the punching bag. She hit it with a sickening *thwack*. "I don't want to talk about this anymore. Are we training, or are we having a therapy session? Because if it’s therapy, I’m going back to the study to look at the shipping manifests."I watched her for a moment, her ponytail whipping back and forth as she unleashed a fresh wave of violence on the leather bag. She was lying to herself, and we both knew it. But I also knew that pushing her would only make those walls higher."Fine," I said, picking up a pair of focus mitts. "Let’s work on your footwork. If you’re going to be a Queen, you need to learn how to dance around the blades, not just run into them."****The morning wo

    Delia's PovI raised an eyebrow. “How?”“You work,” he said. “You sit in meetings. You listen. You observe. You learn how this world functions beyond your assumptions.”“And if I refuse?”“Then you become a liability again.”I smiled faintly. “I never stopped being one.”His mouth curved, humorless

Didn’t interrupt. He leaned against the railing like a king watching a trial, dark eyes fixed on

    DeliaI didn’t sleep.Not even for a minute.At night the mansion seemed to breathe slow and quiet, like a sleeping giant. Footsteps tapped on the marble halls, doors opened and closed softly, a man coughed in the distance, and somewhere else a gun made a tiny click as someone checked it.And somew
