Maria’s POV

When I got back to the apartment, it was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of quiet that made my skin crawl—not because something is wrong, but because something already happened.

I closed the door gently behind me and placed my bag on the kitchen counter. My shoulders ached, my feet too, but more than anything, my mind was buzzing.

Liam’s voice followed me like a shadow—his words echoing, refusing to leave me alone.

The attack on my apartment.

The man who did it.

And how he was killed just ten days later.

It didn’t just sit right with me.

I reached for my phone, my fingers shaking slightly as I tapped it on. The screen lit up. I opened the calendar, scrolled back to that day. I could still remember the day so I could easily trace the date.

Then I moved forward to find the date I asked Luca to help me. To find him. To do something.

The gap between the two was also about ten days.

Too close.

Too perfect.

A knot formed in my stomach. I told myself it could be coincidence, that may

  • I'm not your possession, Mr Mafia. Or am I?   Chapter 103: Life Waits for No-one.

    Maria's POVThe first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the dull ache in my wrists and ankles. The sunlight spilled lazily across the sheets, warm and soft, but my body told a different story.Every small movement I made reminded me of the night before. But now my body aches.Luca was gone now. I could tell by the quietness. The room had a certain emptiness to it that only comes when someone leaves carefully, not wanting to wake you.I stared at the ceiling, my fingers tracing the faint red marks around my wrists. It was strange how something could be both beautiful and painful at the same time.Part of me didn’t regret last night. I couldn’t. Luca had a way of making me enjoy the pleasure, of turning every breath into something heavier.But another part of me… the quieter part… whispered that I didn’t want this again. Not like that.I turned slowly, the sheets still holding the faint scen

  • I'm not your possession, Mr Mafia. Or am I?   Chapter 102: Plans for Stephanie

    Luca's POVMorning came quietly. The first thing I noticed was Maria, still sleeping beside me. Her breathing was soft, steady and peaceful.For a while, I just watched her. The room still smelled like her perfume and candle wax from last night.I didn’t want to wake her.I got off the bed slowly, careful not to make a sound. My body felt heavy, but it wasn’t from tiredness. It was from thought. I moved into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and let the water run over my head for a while. I didn’t even notice when the steam started filling the air.When I came out, I dried myself quietly and began to dress. I buttoned my shirt slowly, one after the other, and looked at Maria again. She hadn’t moved. Her hair was scattered across the pillow, and I could still see the faint marks I left on her wrists and legs last night.I almost smiled. She looked really peaceful sleeping.I walked to her side and took the necklace from the nightstand. I held it for a while, wondering if I should ta

  • I'm not your possession, Mr Mafia. Or am I?   Chapter 101: The Most Dangerous Man

    Liam's POVThe air outside the hotel is fresh, almost too clean. I breathe in deeply and head toward the town's local police station. Maybe if I focus on the work, I could stop thinking about Stephanie for a while.The station is small but busy. A receptionist sits behind a desk, her smile almost too bright.“Good morning,” she says, looking me over like she’s trying to place where she’s seen me before.“Good morning,” I replied. “I’m Liam Carter with the United States Drug Enforcement Agency. I’m currently investigating a case, and it led me to this town.”Her posture straightens a little. “Oh, I see. Who are you looking into?”“Luca De Rossi.”The name changes everything. Her smile falters. She glances around before saying quietly, “I don’t think we have any record of that name.”I lean on the counter. “Are you sure? Maybe it’s been deleted.”She hesitates. “I really don’t want any trouble, Mr. Carter.”I lower my voice. “You won’t get any. I just need information. Off the record.”

  • I'm not your possession, Mr Mafia. Or am I?   Chapter 100: Guilty in Sheets

    Liam's POVMorning light sipped through the window, soft and quiet. I opened my eyes slowly, feeling the warmth against my chest before realizing what it was. Stephanie was lying naked on me, her hair scattered across my shoulder, her breathing soft.For a while, I didn’t move. My mind went blank, and all I could think about was the night before.I had slept with her.Of all the things I thought could happen when Marcus brought Stephanie to my home, this was the last on the list. I was only trying to protect her. I told myself she needed a safe place, not someone else to complicate her life. Yet here I was, with her body pressed against mine.I slid out from under her carefully, not wanting to wake her, and sat at the edge of the bed. My head felt heavy. I looked back at her sleeping form and saw how young she looked. I knew she was past the legal age, but still, guilt clawed through me.I stood and walked to the window of the room, staring out at the quiet streets below. The world

  • I'm not your possession, Mr Mafia. Or am I?   Chapter 99: Tease and Squeeze

    Maria's POV “How do you think Luca would like me to prepare for him tonight?” I asked Louisa the moment I walked into the kitchen.She turned to me, her face wearing that familiar calm expression, but I saw the surprise in her eyes. For a second, she just stared at me before asking softly, “What happened? You look… excited.”“A lot happened,” I said with a shy smile.She folded her arms and leaned on the counter. “Why don't you start with the doctor’s test. You never told me what happened.”I sighed and sat on the stool beside the counter. “I’m sorry, Louisa. I should have told you earlier. I went for the test, and the doctor said I’m not pregnant. But he also said I can have children.”Louisa blinked once, slowly. Her face didn’t change much, like she wasn’t sure whether to smile or frown.“I was going to leave Luca,” I continued, my voice low. “But then he told me he needed me. He said it so sincerely, Louisa, and that night…” I smiled at the memory. “That night we made the greates

    Luca’s POVThe room was still quiet by the Alex came back from seeing Deborah. I did not ask what happened because the look on his face already told the rest of the story.A part of me still expected some good news but no, what I heard on the phone was exactly what happened.Nothing else happened after.Alex looked at me when he entered, frozen for a moment as if unsure whether he should say something or leave me alone. I was lying flat on the bed, still dressed, eyes fixed on the ceiling.He stood there for a while without speaking. Then I sat up slowly and told him to get ready because we were going home.He looked surprised. “Now?”“Now,” I said.There was nothing to pack. We came here with nothing but the clothes we wore. He nodded and left the room.The drive back to the city stretched long under a quiet sky. The sun had fallen and the road lights were dim, throwing shadows across the windshield. Alex focused on the road, and I kept my gaze on the window, watching the dark field
