The rest of the day passed in a blur.

Ava didn’t even remember walking back to the trauma ward. One moment she was signing off on patient reports, the next she was elbow-deep in a body torn open by rage.

Multiple stab wounds. Arterial bleeding. Chest cavity punctured. The patient had flatlined once. Maybe twice. She lost count.

They fought for every beat of his heart. And when it was done, when they finally got him stable, she stepped back, hands soaked through her gloves, arms trembling from exhaustion.

Her back ached.

Her head throbbed.

She hadn’t eaten.

Hadn’t even drunk the half-full bottle of water she'd brought in that morning.

By six-thirty, she was back in her office, hunched over her desk like she might fold in half. Her white coat was half-off her shoulders.

Her hair had frizzed out of its neat braid, the remnants of her surgical cap doing little to hide it.

Pen in hand, she scratched out aftercare notes, filling prescriptions like muscle memory, though her mind wasn’

    The black gown hugged Ava’s figure perfectly, looking both elegant and sleek while cleverly concealing the blade strapped to her thigh. She stood in front of the full-length mirror in her bedroom, adjusting the thin strap on her shoulder.She had a serious, determined look on her face.Selena zipped the back and handed her the forged press pass, disguised with a subtle La Rosa watermark buried beneath the laminate.“It’ll pass under basic inspection. Don’t let them scan it too long.”Ava nodded.Her reflection didn’t betray her nerves, but her stomach churned with everything left unsaid. Matteo’s threat still echoed in her head. Her hospital’s power grid had been wired to burn. And the man she loved was locked away, bearing a name heavy enough to crush them both.She walked out into the hall, heels soft against the marble, and found Pearl curled on the velvet chaise, clutching something behind her back.“You look… like a queen,” Pearl said quietly with wide eyes.Ava knelt, touched he

    “This letter is to inform you that the Reed Memorial Hospital is now under formal investigation for suspected money laundering and financial fraud, effective immediately…”The letter crinkled in Ava’s hand, a wave of anger and fear rising up inside her. The government seal at the top stared back at her like a final judgment. The words jumped off the page: formal investigation, fraud, money laundering. Each term felt like a blow, cutting through her mind and leaving her reeling.The letter slipped from her grasp, floating to the desk like ash. For a moment, she didn’t move.Matteo Moretti’s threat still echoed in her mind like a dark chord: “If anything happens to him, I’ll come for you and your daughter.”Pearl.Alex.Her hospital.All pieces of her fractured empire, now hanging by threads.She glanced at the photo on her desk, her and Alex at the restaurant weeks ago. She had turned it face down last night, but now her eyes found it again. The glass frame reflected her tight expres

    “It’s him,” Selena said. “Matteo Moretti. He wants to speak to the Godmother.”Ava didn’t blink.She reached down and set the photo frame of her and Alex facedown on the desk. She stepped forward, eyes never leaving Selena’s. Her voice was iron.“Put him through.”Selena hesitated. “Ava…”Ava raised one index finger, a subtle command to stop. Just one nod.Selena handed over the phone.Ava answered. “Matteo.”The voice on the other end was unmistakably his, gravel-laced and heavy with age and malice.“I’m outside,” he said. “And I don’t do phone conversations. We’ll speak face to face. Bring whoever you trust. Or don’t.”He ended the call.Selena’s eyes widened as Ava handed the phone back.“You’re not actually going out there,” Selena said.“I am,” Ava replied, already walking toward the door.“He came this far. Let’s see what ghosts he brought with him.”Rain had started again, thin streaks tapping at the estate’s stone arches and glass panels like long fingers. Ava stepped out into

    The fluorescent lights in the federal office buzzed faintly overhead, casting a harsh white sheen over the steel table that separated Ava Reed from the two agents across from her. The air was biting cold and felt sterile, reminding her that she was deep inside a place where the truth could be used as a weapon.She didn’t flinch.Her hands, neatly folded in front of her, showed no tremor. Her posture, perfect. Her pulse, calm. But inside, her mind was moving like a loaded gun clicking through timelines, alliances, paper trails, and ghosts.The silence had stretched for too long. Minutes passed like hours. The older of the two agents, a woman with shrewd eyes and a too-crisp bob, watched Ava with a stillness that was almost predatory. The younger man beside her occasionally shifted, flipping through a folder, but never spoke.Finally, the woman leaned forward.“Ms. Reed,” she began in a low voice, “Did you know Detective Alex Ramos is a Moretti? A double agent?”Ava tilted her head sli

    The rain returned just as Ava turned the corner to Pearl’s school. Her hands clenched the steering wheel hard enough to leave marks. She didn’t stop for the valet at the front entrance. She didn’t even smile at the security guard. Her breath was held until she reached the second floor and threw open the door to Room 212.Pearl was there.At a small round table near the windows, she was bent over a colouring book, her tongue caught between her teeth in quiet concentration. Beside her, a teacher murmured to another child. The world was moving, oblivious to the war Ava had just fought with herself.She leaned on the doorframe, all the tension in her limbs giving out at once.“Mom?” Pearl blinked up, her eyes wide. “Why are you here?”Ava crossed the room and knelt, pressing her lips to her daughter’s forehead. Her hands trembled against Pearl’s small frame. “I just… missed you,” she murmured, trying to smile. “That’s all.”Pearl tilted her head, skeptical. “You’re acting weird.”“Prob

  • I Found My Mafia Mom, A Cop Husband   113. Her Life... or Pearl's???

    The estate was too quiet.Ava walked through the front door quietly, her boots making no sound on the polished floor. She didn’t pause in the foyer or say anything to Eleanor. She didn’t even glance at the kitchen, where the warm smell of jasmine tea lingered.Instead, she went straight to her study.Once the heavy door shut behind her, she leaned back against it, her pulse still galloping from the chaos at the penthouse. She could still see the fed’s badge flashing in the soft, sterile light, could still hear Alex’s voice inside her head. “Run. Now.”So she did.But now she was back… alone. The weight of what had been lost threatened to crush her where she stood.She crossed to her desk, dropping into the leather chair with a thud. Her eyes swept over the mess of files and encrypted drives, the fragments of war plans and digital trails. And at the centre of it all, there it was: Rafael’s faint but unmistakable handwriting, scrawled in the margins of a burned copy of the stolen ledg
