Awakening
I lifted my head from Rhys's arms, his strong chest rising and falling against my cheek. Silk sheets tangled around our naked bodies, the air thick with the scent of our passion. After a passionate night with my childhood friend, the Mafia heir, I was jolted awake at three in the morning by the shrill ring of a phone. It was the Don, ordering me to bring Rhys back to the estate for an arranged marriage. I figured it was just another heiress trying to claw her way into the Griffin family, so I kissed his forehead, pressing myself against him and whispering with a low laugh. "Rhys, what's your plan for this boring princess?" He arched an eyebrow, wrapping a lazy arm around my waist. "Baby, make sure you pick out a good tie for me. I need to make a good impression on my future father-in-law." Seeing me freeze, Rhys sat up and shot me a casual glance, his voice laced with indifference. "Maeve, what's with that reaction? We're just having fun." "You didn't actually think you were going to be the next Donna of the Griffin family, did you?"

"No! You're lying!"Rhys shot up from the floor, his face ashen."You don't have a boyfriend!" His voice trembled. "You're just trying to get revenge on me!"I looked at him calmly. "Why would I lie?""Because you love me!" Rhys practically roared. "You couldn't have forgotten everything between us this quickly!""Who is this so-called boyfriend? I want to meet him!"My father could no longer contain himself and stood up abruptly. "That's enough, Rhys!""Sterling is the heir to the Blackwood family, and a true gentleman. He's also shown great respect for our family. Although Maeve has only just accepted his courtship, we all approve of his character and standing."Rhys was stunned. "The Blackwood family...""Yes, the very same Blackwood family that has built a formidable empire in the legitimate business world," my father continued. "Mr. Sterling shows Maeve a level of care and respect you will clearly never understand.""Papa, don't," I said, gently touching my father's arm. "There's

Maybe it was retirement, or maybe the Parisian air simply agreed with them.My parents were looking much better.If it weren't for having to return to New York to handle the transfer of some old properties, they wouldn't have wanted to leave Paris at all."I'll go back and handle it myself," I said, looking at the legal documents in my hand. "I can manage."My parents exchanged a look. "No, we're not comfortable with that. Besides, the Griffin family invited us for Christmas. It'll be nice to have more people around. We'll all go back together."It had been almost half a year since I'd last seen Rhys.I used to think I could never live without him."Maeve?! Oh my God, is that really you?"The moment I stepped into the Griffin estate's grand hall, Rhys's mother was as warm as ever, grabbing my hand as soon as I entered. "It's been so long, I've missed you to death, sweetheart!""Donna." I greeted her with a polite nod."You've gotten even more beautiful!" She held on to my hand, unwilli

After the recording made the rounds that night, I packed my bags and went home, feeling a weight lift from my shoulders.I paid no mind to the shifting power dynamics of their world; I was completely focused on buying property in Paris and setting up my music studio.After a month of handling asset transfers and paperwork, my family and I boarded a private jet to Paris.On the plane, my parents couldn't hide their relief. From now on, they could enjoy a peaceful life, far from the blood and betrayal.And I was determined to be their rock as they started over.For a solid week, Rhys's men tried to contact me through various channels.First came a blood-red envelope from a family messenger, which I returned unopened.Then came messages through intermediaries, which I politely declined.Finally, even old friends of the Griffin family were enlisted to act as go-betweens.I refused to see any of them.Rhys has sent you a friend request.Message: Where are you?Message: I heard you left New

Two weeks later, at a private gathering of the Five Families, Noa approached me.The party was held at a private club on the Upper East Side, attended by core members of each family and their wives.I chose to ignore her, focusing my attention on my conversation with Mrs. Romano.She had considerable influence in the underworld and was telling me about her connections in the European music scene."Maeve, it's been a while." Noa appeared before me, gracefully holding a champagne flute. "You look well."She was wearing a white evening gown from my favorite designer."Thank you." I gave a polite nod and turned back to Mrs. Romano.Publicly dismissed, Noa's practiced smile faltered.After two glasses of Dom Pérignon, I was still relatively clear-headed.When I went to the restroom to touch up my makeup, everyone was discussing a joint operation between the Griffin family and several others, scheduled for next month.Once I was sure my makeup was perfect, I pushed open the door to find Noa
