Lana’s POV

He guides me inside his secret mansion with his hand gentle and firm at the small of my back. My legs feel weak as he leads me to the sofa and I sink into it.

He doesn’t say a word at first. Just disappears into the kitchen and returns with an ice bag. My brows lift in astonishment.

Ricardo is always rough, always commanding, always passionate with a fire that burns instead of soothes, but now, he crouches before me like I am something fragile. Like I am breakable.

“Here,” he murmurs too tenderly. He gently lifts the hem of my gown, and the cool press of the ice touches my thigh. I gasp softly. His fingers brush over my skin as he rubs the ice bag in place, with goosebumps filling the surface of my skin.

It’s not just the ice that makes me shiver, or brings goosebumps to my skin. It’s him. His closeness. His scent. The way his eyes, when they finally meet mine, soften into something that looks like… devotion.

He strokes my other thigh with his free hand, deliberately avoidi

  • I Sold Out a Mafia Boss   Chapter 61: The Woman He Can’t Lose

    Lana’s POVThe words Antonella spoke, the threats she made, replays in my head like a death knell.I am the bitch she wants to kill, the cause of her pain. And Ricardo, the man who just confessed his love, is also the man who created this terrifying reality. I walk out of our hiding place, with a numb body."She wants to kill me," I mutter.I force myself to look at Ricardo. My heart pounds faster when I say it again, louder this time. “Your girlfriend wants to kill me.”Ricardo’s eyes blaze with anger instantly. “If she lays even as much as a finger on you, I won’t hesitate to—”"She’s the mother of your children!" Angelo cuts him off with a yell.Ricardo turns towards Angelo with blazing eyes, as his chest rises and falls with fury.“And Lana is someone I can’t fucking lose to Antonella! I am not letting my possessive, psychotic girlfriend touch Lana.”I gulp. Did he just say that? For me? My heart wants to leap, but guilt chains it down.Angelo throws his arms up, exasperated. “You

    Lana’s POVTwo days.That’s how long it’s been since Ricardo asked me who Charles Gregory is to me.If this were me months ago, before the mansion, before the hospital, even before I learned how to survive under Ricardo’s roof, I probably would have stuttered, looked away, and given myself away before he even finished the question.But captivity has its own cruel form of education.Here, you learn composure the way a soldier learns to shoot through necessity. You learn to lie smoothly, convincingly, not because you want to, but because telling the truth is the fastest way to bleed out.So I told him Charles Gregory was nobody to me, just the enemy. I even went further, forcing my voice into something serious, almost offended at the idea that Charles could mean anything to me.I had said to Ricardo that I noticed the distress and frustration that golden fucker inflicted on him. Gosh insulting Charles burned my throat. I had told Ric:“Your enemy is my enemy, Ricardo. He’s a thorn in ou

  • I Sold Out a Mafia Boss   Chapter 60: Antonella’s Warning

    Angelo’s POVAs Lana and Ricardo scramble into the guest room, I drag a hand down my face. My pulse is still hammering from our fight, and now Antonella is outside my damn door? Unannounced?She knocks again, louder this time. “Is everything alright, Angelo? Are you okay? I’m hearing noises!”Fuck.I raise my voice. “Give me a minute!”I wait, listening to the quick shuffle of feet behind me as Lana and Ricardo vanish from sight. When I’m sure they’re out of view, I smooth down my shirt and force myself to breathe evenly before pulling the door open.Antonella stands there with one brow arched. Even in her casual coat and boots, she looks like a queen who came to collect taxes. Her eyes narrow when she takes me in.“You look… out of breath,” she says slowly.“Hi,” I manage, forcing a crooked smile.“What were you doing?” she demands.“Masturbating,” I deadpan. “You interrupted a pretty good session.”Her eyes roll heavenward. “You need a fucking girlfriend, Angelo. Masturbating is for

    Lana’s POVI brace myself for the question, and Angelo notices the way my eyes dart down and the hesitation in my breathing. He leans closer.“I’m guessing,” he says slowly, “this is one of those deep questions about my brother, isn’t it?”I slowly nod once. “It’s just…” I pause, searching for the right words. “I don’t understand him most of the time.”Angelo leans forward slightly, with his elbows resting on his knees. “Go ahead. Ask me.”I take a deep breath. “I remember in Mexico… when you were pissed at your brother for keeping me a secret from you. You told him that of all the girls he’s fucked, you kept it a secret from Antonella.”Angelo nods once, confirming it. “Yeah. I said that. And it’s true.”“So…” my voice trembles without my permission, “does he… do that every year? Or month? Or hour? Fucks different girls?” My words feel childish and pathetic, but I have to know.“Hey, hey,” Angelo’s tone is softer now, like he’s trying to calm me down. “Slow down.”I press my lips tog

  • I Sold Out a Mafia Boss   Chapter 58: The Invitation

    Charles’ POVFuck!The word tears out of me before I even realize I’ve said it. My hands move on their own, flipping my table hard enough to send everything crashing; laptop, coffee cup, papers, pens, all of it scattering like debris from an explosion.The laptop hits the floor with a loud clatter and the coffee splashed across the carpet leaving a dark stain. I’m breathing fast, and heat rolled through me.I hate, no, I DESPISE, how Ricardo gets away with everything. The bastard walks through this world like he’s untouchable. Invincible. But no one is invincible.I’m still pacing when my laptop chimes. That small and sharp notification sound catches my full attention. I grab it off the floor, expecting the screen to be cracked. But it’s not. The name in the inbox makes me freeze. Antonella.I drop into the sofa, and my heart pounds as I click the email. Her words are short and they make me grin.“I believe you.”I type fast.“I’m sorry to ask, but how come you believe me now?"It do
