Before they left the mansion, Vito ordered dinner for Mateo and Aurora. Aside from him and Mrs. Luigi, Bang was the only person Aurora liked to be close to. Maybe it was because he was Mrs. Luigi’s boy and she was always on about him.

The memory of the warm, and kind older lady pierced a deep ache in Vito’s heart, causing him to swear to get even with Antonio after he had possession of his powder.

He was driving to get Aurora’s Strawberry Ice cream with Milan in the passenger seat.

  • His Little Ruin   82- The Woman He Couldn’t Break

    “Good day to you too,” Vito replied in Italian.Only then did Milan remember that her father didn't have a good impression of him.Years ago, Vito had been one of the reasons she hated going to school. After their first meeting started on the wrong foot, he bullied her relentlessly. He stole her lunches, mocked her answers in class, and somehow always found new ways to get under her skin.Her father considered him a menace.“Papa…”The older man's expression hardened as he slowly rose from his seat.Milan's whole body tensed up.This was not how she imagined their reunion would go.She looked from her father to Vito and back again, wondering if she should intervene before old grudges resurfaced.Then, to her complete shock, her father crossed

  • His Little Ruin   81- Six Months After

    Milan leaned back against the sofa, allowing herself to enjoy the rare peace that had settled over her life.Her older brother, Roma had moved out recently after his marriage, so it remained only her and her daughter living with her father.Little Romy’s laughter echoed through the room as she ran circles around her grandfather, clutching a stuffed rabbit almost as big as she was. Her father pretended to lose every game they played, and Roma celebrated each victory as though she had conquered the world.After so long, she was finally where she wanted to be, surrounded by people who loved her.The custody battle was over. Antonio Rocci no longer had any claim over Roma. The headlines had faded. The reporters had moved on to other scandals.Now, Milan could walk outside without feeling like someone was waiting to take something from her.

    The Rocci attorney attempted recovery quickly. “Miss Andrea, are you suggesting Giovanni Rocci abused his wife?” Andrea’s gaze sharpened. She didn't even spare him a glance.“I am saying her injuries, behavior, and psychological state were all medically consistent with prolonged domestic abuse.”The lawyer’s expression hardened. “And yet she remained around dangerous men afterward.”“Yes,” Andrea answered calmly. “That is extremely common for trauma survivors.”The attorney looked briefly irritated by how composed she remained. “Including organized crime figures?”Andrea did bat an eyelid.“Trauma changes a person’s understanding of safety,” she replied. “Especially when violence and pr

  • His Little Ruin   79- The Courtroom Devil

    Milan leaned against the door slightly once they disappeared around the corner.“You terrified my friends,” she muttered.“That was not intentional.”“That somehow makes it worse.”For a second, neither of them spoke.“Let’s talk inside.” Milan broke the silence.“They filed publicly,” Vito said coldly the moment he stepped inside. “Antonio wants humiliation before judgment.”He looked dangerous as he spoke and it was so hot that Milan couldn't look away.She closed the door and swallowed hard.“I already know.”“I will handle it.”The tone alone told her exactly what he meant.“No.”His violet eyes snapped toward her. “What do you mean by ' no '?” Vito said coldly. “If he ends up dead like his brother, how exactly is he supposed to fight for cus

    The court summons arrived on a rainy Tuesday morning.Milan had just returned to the hotel after meeting with a private investigator when the receptionist stopped her quietly near the lobby.“Miss Romano?”She turned.“There are legal documents for you.”The moment she saw the official seal, anxiety curled through her stomach.By the time she reached her suite and opened the envelope, her hands had already gone cold.Antonio Rocci was filing for custody of Roma.The accusations hit harder with every line she read.Unfit mother.Psychological instability.Dangerous criminal associations.Complicity in the murder of Giovanni Rocci.Worst of all, Antonio’s lawyers claimed Milan had conspired with Vito to orchestrate Giovanni’s death for financial and personal gain.For several seconds, she simply stared

  • His Little Ruin   77- Love in Contempt

    The lights flickered briefly across his face, honing the cold intensity in his expression.He wore dark clothes as usual, no tie, and his sleeves were rolled slightly upward.He looked nothing like the sophisticated capo tonight and more like the dangerous man the city whispered about quietly.Her breath seized.“You’re coming with me,” he growled. Before she could respond, he lifted her effortlessly into his arms.“Vito!” Milan hissed. “Put me down.”Around them, Priscilla and Lillian stared in complete shock.“Oh my God,” Priscilla whispered loudly. “THAT is the Don?”Lillian looked close to fainting from excitement.Meanwhile, Milan was mortified.“Put me down right now,” she demanded again, struggling slightly against him.Vito ignored her completely.People moved out of his path automatically as he carried

  • His Little Ruin   34- Soft Hands, Hard Promises

    The neon lights of Angel’s Den flickered in the rearview mirror as Milan climbed into the passenger seat of Vito’s car. She smelled of spilled gin, fried chips, and cheap tonic. She sighed heavily as she thought back to her shift. It was a blur. She had rushed through the night in a complete d

  • His Little Ruin   33- Born from Fire

    Milan started to keep her distance from Vito even though they lived in the same house. Her fear had turned into anger. Their last confrontation had opened her eyes. What he did to Mateo was unforgivable. Asking her to abort if she were pregnant was also unforgivable. She continued preten

    Vito leaned his forehead against the cool mahogany of the door, his eyes closing in a rare moment of defeat. 
He could break the door down in seconds. 
He was the Capo, and nothing in this house happened without his consent but he reminded himself that forcing his way in would only push her furthe

  • His Little Ruin   10- Tension in the Mansion

    “She’s not my girl. She’s…uhmm. Just a long-time best friend,” he muttered before he walked away and left her bewildered. Best friend? Was that really what he thought of her?
