Adriana's POV.

The black dress clung to my body uncomfortably, as if it didn’t want to be there just as much as I didn’t. It was tight in the wrong places, especially around my stomach. Thankfully, my baby bump wasn’t obvious yet.

I stood at the back of the cemetery, away from the main crowd, but it felt like all eyes were on me. Watching, whispering and judging.

Maybe I shouldn’t have come.

But I had to.

I stared at the coffin. The priest’s words were a soft blur in the background. I couldn’t hear anything except the pounding of my heart.

Then I saw her.

Fred’s mother.

She stood by the casket, stiff and broken. Her face was filled with pain, her black veil doing nothing to hide the fury burning in her eyes. Her gaze found mine and in that moment, I knew this was about to get ugly.

She pushed past two people and stormed toward me.

"You have some nerve showing up here!" she shouted, her voice slicing through the quiet ceremony.

Heads turned. The priest fell silent while people stared

  • Heart Of The Mafia    Chapter 11.

    Adriana's POV.I was seriously starting to regret asking Luca to bring me along. He had disappeared into a meeting, and I was stuck alone in his office, bored out of my mind. At least back at the mansion, I had Paige to keep me company.I spun slowly in Luca’s chair, letting out a sigh, when the door burst open and he walked in, looking a little tense."Can you wait here a little longer? I have official business to take care of," he said.I didn’t need to ask, his eyes said it all. Mafia business."Let’s go," I said, already standing up."No, Adriana. You’ll wait here," he said more firmly this time, like I was a kid being told to stay put.I stared at him, arms folded. “I’m coming.”He muttered something under his breath and gave in, probably realizing I wasn’t going to back down.The car ride was fast and rough. Luca drove like he was chasing someone, and my stomach didn’t take it well. When we finall

  • Heart Of The Mafia    Chapter 10.

    Luca's POV. Ever since I got back, I’ve done everything possible to avoid Adriana. If I saw her coming down the hallway, I’d turn and walk the other way. She told me to stay away from her and I meant to respect that but it wasn’t just that. As much as I hate to say it, she’s Vincent's wife and now, she’s carrying his child. I already crossed a line once, I won't do it again. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. No matter how hard I try, we keep running into each other and each time, she offers a soft “hello,” with that smile, the kind that knocks the air out of your lungs. I tell myself not to respond, to keep walking but every damn time, I nod back or say something stupid. Like a fool. With Vincent out of town on some business trip with our father, she’s more alone than ever. Not like his presence makes a difference, he treats her like shit, and she just takes it. I hear it and I see it but I choose to stay out of it, I've already caused enough damage. I was part of the reason

  • Heart Of The Mafia    Chapter 9.

    Adriana's POV.I walked into the tiny, run-down café on the edge of the city. The kind of place I'd never step foot in on a normal day. Paint peeling off the walls, the air thick with the smell of burnt coffee and cheap grease. But this was where he wanted to meet—and no one would ever think to look for me here.The door creaked open, and the bell above it gave a tired jingle.There he was, Fred Donovan. Tucked in a shadowed booth at the far end. Same cocky smirk, same calculating eyes.Fred had once been my father’s private investigator. Sharp, loyal… until he wasn’t. They parted ways under terms neither ever spoke about. As for Fred and me? We had a thing, once. Nothing serious. A few nights, a few mistakes.He looked older now. Scruff on his jaw, sleeves rolled halfway up his forearms, revealing a faded tattoo I never asked about. But his eyes, those were still sharp. "Princess Russo," he said, the smirk deepening as I slid i

  • Heart Of The Mafia    Chapter 8.

    Adriana's POV. I stood still, watching as my father and Don Moretti exchanged greetings. Not once did my father look my way, not a word, not a nod. Just the usual cold silence I’d grown used to. Still, it stung. We moved to the dining room, the air already heavy with tension. Don Moretti took the seat at the head of the table, his presence alone commanding silence. Vincent sat to his left, Luca to his right. I took the seat next to Vincent, while my father settled beside Luca. The maids began to serve dinner, roasted lamb, rich pasta, and a bottle of vintage wine that only came out during important visits. No one touched their foods yet, just silence. Don Moretti finally broke the silence. “Luca,” he said, his voice deep but calm, “how are things with the Italian docks?” Luca leaned back slightly in his chair, his expression calm. “Smooth so far. I’ve got eyes on every corner, and I'm thinking of closing in on a big deal with the Palermo's. It’ll double our distribution line.” D

  • Heart Of The Mafia    Chapter 7.

    Adriana's POV.Paige had gone out to the supermarket to restock the kitchen, and I insisted on going with her. The mansion felt like a cage, too quiet, too empty, and far too suffocating. I needed air, movement, something to distract me from the mess of my life.At first, Paige was hesitant. She gently reminded me that I needed rest and that Vincent wouldn’t like me wandering around but I wasn’t in the mood to listen. I reminded her, calmly but firmly, that I was her boss. After a moment of silence, she gave in.I dressed in something simple, a soft cream-colored sweater, dark jeans, and a pair of flats. My hair was tied into a low bun, and I wore no makeup. I didn’t want to draw attention. I just wanted to feel like myself again, even if it was only for a few hours.At the supermarket, I trailed behind Paige, watching as she moved from aisle to aisle, checking off items on her list. It was peaceful, almost normal. After we finished shopping and loaded the groceries into the car, I re
