Felon- A Dark Mafia Romance Chapter 19
Chapter Nineteen: Terms of a CrownEmma VolkovTime did not slow down for my decision.If anything, it accelerated—as if the world sensed hesitation and leaned in closer, waiting to see which way I’d fall. News traveled fast in our circles, even without confirmation. A delayed answer was an answer in itself, and everyone was already rewriting it to suit their agendas.I didn’t announce anything.I watched.That was my advantage.The villa in Geneva became quieter in the days that followed. Lucas respected my space in the way only powerful men who weren’t afraid of losing control could. No pressure. No reminders. No lingering looks weighted with expectation.Which, perversely, made the choice heavier.I spent long hours walking along the lake, replaying every version of the future I could imagine. In some, I returned to Moscow, took my place beside my father, and let the Volkov legacy continue unchallenged. In others, I stayed in Italy as Lucas’s ally—but not his wife—always provisiona

Chapter Eighteen: A Question Sharper Than a BladeEmma VolkovMarriage, I learned, is a word that sounds different in rooms where men decide wars.It isn’t romantic there. It isn’t soft. It’s strategic, sharpened, measured by what it costs and what it secures. I’d heard it all my life spoken like a contract, like a weapon wrapped in silk. My mother used to say that love and power rarely shared a table—but when they did, someone always paid.I didn’t expect that someone might be me.Geneva ended without bloodshed, which in our world counted as a miracle. The lake reflected calm skies while beneath the surface, alliances rewired themselves quietly. We stayed two more days, enough time to let the image of unity sink in. Enough time for whispers to grow teeth.I felt them everywhere—in lingering looks, in pauses that lasted half a second too long.Emma Volkov.Lucas Moretti.Together.The rumor mill worked faster than any intelligence network.On the third evening, Lucas asked me to join

Emma VolkovPeace is never silent.It hums.It settles into the cracks left behind by violence, vibrating with all the things that haven’t happened yet. That was what I felt in the days after Venice—not relief, not victory, but a low, constant awareness that the world was holding itself together with careful hands.We stayed coastal, moving north in measured increments. Each place was temporary by design: a converted farmhouse with a view of vineyards; a modern villa tucked into a cliffside; a narrow townhouse in a city that pretended not to notice us. Lucas rotated men constantly. Routes changed. Patterns broke before they could form.Control without complacency.I watched him work and understood why people followed him—not out of fear alone, but because he made decisions that kept them alive.The quiet gave me space to think.Which was dangerous.---One evening, after a long day of briefings and half-sleep, I found Lucas alone in a study that smelled of paper and dust. Maps were sp

Chapter Sixteen: The Moment the Masks FallEmma VolkovVenice has a way of pretending nothing ugly has ever happened within its walls.Gold light spilled through tall windows, glinting off crystal glasses and polished wood. Outside, gondolas drifted lazily along the canal, their quiet rhythm mocking the tension coiled tight inside the palazzo. Inside, men who had ordered deaths with a nod now sat politely, hands folded, faces arranged into masks of civility.I counted seven of them.Seven men who thought they were in control.I took the seat offered at the center of the table, crossing my legs slowly, deliberately. Red silk brushed my knees. I could feel Lucas’s presence even though I couldn’t see him—like gravity, steady and unseen. He was close. He always was.“Miss Volkov,” the man at the far end said, his Italian accented with something sharper. “This is… unexpected.”“I’m told I have that effect,” I replied calmly.A few smiles flickered. Nervous. Curious.“You understand,” anoth

Chapter Fifteen: Fire Under GlassEmma VolkovMorning didn’t bring relief.It brought clarity—and clarity, I was learning, was far more dangerous.The safehouse woke slowly. Men rotated shifts, radios crackled low, weapons were checked and rechecked. Nothing frantic. Nothing careless. This was the calm before something violent decided to happen.I stood in the kitchen, coffee cooling in my hands, watching Lucas speak with two of his lieutenants. He didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t need to. Authority clung to him like a second skin—earned, not demanded.I wondered, not for the first time, what kind of man he’d been before power hardened him into this.And what kind of man he might still be underneath.When he finished, he turned toward me as if he’d felt my gaze. His eyes narrowed slightly—not suspicion, not irritation. Focus.“We need to move you,” he said.I set the cup down. “Already?”“Yes.”“Where?”He hesitated, then answered honestly. “Somewhere no one expects you to be.”I cro
