Liam's POV

I woke to the weight of someone on my chest. Stephanie was curled against me, head on my shoulder. She was still sleeping, breathing slow and even. Her face looked peaceful. Different from the sad one she wore during the day.

I stayed still and watched her. She was beautiful in that soft, quiet way. I brushed my fingers gently across her cheek. She stirred and opened her eyes.

“You’re not admiring me in my sleep, are you?” she teased, voice still sleepy.

I laughed. “I didn’t know you weren’t asleep.”

“I was. Not deep,” she said with a small smile.

We both sat up. I felt a little embarrassed. I stood and walked to the bathroom. I needed to pee and I needed to clear my head.

At the sink I looked at myself. I asked the mirror, “What are you doing?” I meant with Stephanie. The question did not have an answer.

I stepped into the shower and the hot water hit my back. I tried to wash the way my body reacted last night and I tried to push some thoughts away. But my mind kept going

  • I'm not your possession, Mr Mafia. Or am I?   Chapter 89: Twisted

    Maria's POVI sat on the bathroom floor, my knees pulled to my chest with the cool tiles pressing against my bare legs. I sat there still, trying to figure out a way to get out of here. I had summoned the courage to tell Luca I was leaving him and I did tell him. But now, he wasn't going to let me leave.The penthouse was high above the city. There were no windows in the bathroom, no fire escape, no way out. Just me, the four walls, and the sound of my own breathing.I had paced around the bathroom so long that my legs have become weak. At first, I had walked back and forth with angry steps, telling myself I had to find a way to leave. But after the anger wore itself down and I couldn't figure something reasonable, I collapsed onto the floor.My chest rose and fell quickly. My thoughts were empty, not fixed on anything at all. It was almost a relief not to think. Not to picture Luca’s face. Not to feel the ache that settled in the middle of my chest.Then came a knock. A sharp rap aga

  • I'm not your possession, Mr Mafia. Or am I?   Chapter 88: No one's Leaving

    Luca's POV I lay on Maria’s bed, her scent still filling my senses, and it made me impatient.I know I’ve hurt her and that I’ve acted like it doesn't matter when it does. Lying here in her room made me realize how much I miss her.I turned on my side, grabbed her pillow, and buried my face in it. It reminded me of the times she made me proud.How brave she was when she wanted to follow me to face Alejandro, even when she was scared. How her eyes lit up when she talked about starting the bar, something that belonged to her alone.I haven’t even asked her how it’s going. I’ve been too distracted, chasing after Stephanie who tried to kill me, and trying to track down Deborah.Deborah.I didn’t even want to think about her now, but the name kept pushing its way into my mind. She was just a woman who wanted me for the night, nothing more.She didn’t seem to care who I was. She got what she wanted, and I gave it to her. So why am I wasting my time trying to find her? Maybe I should just t

  • I'm not your possession, Mr Mafia. Or am I?   Chapter 87: The Doll is Done

    Maria's POV I still sat at the park, the cool breeze brushing my skin. My head felt lighter than it had been in days, and for in this moment, I thought I could fall asleep right here. But then my phone rang, pulling me back.My first thought was Luca. I hated myself for thinking that, for always expecting him. But no, it wasn’t Luca. It was Liam.My heart skipped. Liam.I hadn’t thought about him properly in so long. Not since that night when I let him touch me for a while, then pulled away and ran. I had buried that memory under everything that came with Luca. Yet here he was, his name flashing across my phone.The call ended. Relief mixed with disappointment. But before I could breathe, it rang again. This time, I answered.“Hello?” My voice sounded softer than I intended.“Maria,” Liam said. He sounded careful, almost unsure.“Liam,” I answered, forcing a smile into my tone like he was an old friend. “How are you today?.”There was a pause, I'm sure he wasn't expecting that but t

  • I'm not your possession, Mr Mafia. Or am I?   Chapter 86: Stephanie Special II

    Stephanie's POVGold introduced me to my first client: Alexa.Even Esme didn’t understand why Gold had chosen them for me. She tried to ask him, but Gold only laughed and said, “That’s what Alexa likes.”Alexa. I’ll never forget her.She was beautiful, older, polished in a way that made me feel so small. At first I admired her, the way she carried herself and the way someone as arrogant as Gold could so humble himself for her. That meant Alexa had so much power.I wanted that for myself. I wanted to be a woman even so-called powerful men crumbled themselves for.However, it didn't take long for me to realise that Alexa only had such power because of her man, Luca De Rossi. The one they called the dangerously calm investor.He was indeed calm because he looked calm but his eyes and face had a dangerous look like someone who didn't have the patience to tolerate nonsense.He didn't say much. He didn’t need to say much; the way he looked at people was enough to make them obey.That first

  • I'm not your possession, Mr Mafia. Or am I?   Chapter 85: Stephanie Special I

    Stephanie's POVI’ve always wanted to go to the city.Even as a little girl, I used to stand outside our small house and stare at the dusty road that led out of our town. I would imagine the cars, the tall buildings, the lights, the sound of many people moving at once. In my head, the city was where life began.Back then, I had a friend, Esme. We grew up together, played with the same dolls, shared the same secrets. But when her mother died, everything changed.Her father took her and left for the city. I stayed behind, stuck in our little town with my drunk father and tired mother.I didn’t hear much about her after she left. But sometime later, word spread that Esme’s father had died tragically in the city. People whispered about it. They said he was the driver for a dangerous man.They didn’t mention names. They didn't need to because we all knew the kind of men they meant. Men with power, men everyone feared.Years passed. I thought I had lost Esme forever. Then one day, when pho
