Elena

I didn’t know when it started. Or how. But I knew, with a frightening certainty, that I was falling for Diego. The same man who once held me captive—the cold, dark stranger I was meant to fear—was becoming my solace, the center of my thoughts, the person I didn’t want to live without.

I sighed, collapsing backward on the bed, arms flung out wide. The gala was tonight. My stomach twisted with nerves just thinking about it.

"Get a grip, Elena," I muttered aloud to myself.

Diego had promised he wouldn’t leave my side all evening, and I was clinging to that promise like a lifeline. I needed him—not just as my protector tonight—but as something more. I didn’t even know what to call it. We hadn’t had sex yet. We hadn’t crossed that line. But intimacy? We had it in spades. The way he looked at me, how he held me like I was the most fragile thing in the world—it made me feel... known and wanted.

Tonight was important. A signal to the world, to his world, that I was his. That I belonge

  • Kidnapped By My Mafia Protector    Chapter Fourteen

    Elena I wanted things between Diego and me to be good. With the wedding just a few days away now, I decided to let go of the drama and focus on what mattered. I was a little terrified, anxious even, but I trusted what Diego and I shared. I wanted it to be as special as he hoped, and maybe, if I could just hold onto that feeling, everything would be okay. I thought about how far we'd come. We were far from perfect, but it felt right. There was a rhythm to us that I didn’t want to lose. I wanted to believe everything was exactly how it was supposed to be. --- Meanwhile, somewhere in an abandoned building "Are you sure you want this, because if we do this, there's no going back." "I want it. And I'm sure” a voice replied, icy and cold. "This was supposed to be mine, and I won't let them get away with it." "As you wish," the man said simply. --- "Come on, Elena, we need to get going," Diego called, standing by the car, keys in his left hand. We had a cake tasting appo

    ElenaBeing betrayed by my father broke something in me. It wasn’t just disappointment. It was the falling apart that left me feeling empty. But as much as his betrayal hurt, it was Diego’s that shattered me. He flinched when I mentioned Camille, barely visible but I caught it. There was a brief flicker of something unreadable in his eyes that undid me more than any lie or truth could. I was spiraling - I felt hurt, angry, betrayed, confused, lied to. The emotions tangled around themselves like vines in my chest, it was suffocating me. I didn’t want to cry. I wouldn’t. Not in front of him. I couldn’t afford to let him see how vulnerable I felt. Well, so much for a perfect night.When we returned home that night, the silence between us was palpable. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t speak a word to Diego. I walked into my bedroom without a glance in his direction and locked the door behind me. That was two days ago.All that time, Maria was the only person I’d allowed near me

    ElenaThe car purred softly as Diego opened the passenger door for me, ever the gentleman. I slipped inside, the soft leather seats felt like a second skin. He joined me on the other side and told the driver to start moving, then he reached into a velvet pouch and pulled out a delicate, handcrafted mask adorned with silver filigree and tiny blue gems that sparkled under the car’s interior lights.“Turn around for me, doll,” he said gently.I obeyed, heart fluttering in my chest as his fingers grazed my neck, securing the mask’s ribbon behind my head. He pressed a warm kiss to my cheek, close to the corner of my mouth. “You look really beautiful, Elena.”His voice had that low timbre that always made my breath catch. I turned to find him already slipping on his own mask, a sleek black one that matched his tailored suits perfectly.The ride to the ball was quiet, but not in a bad way. There was something comforting about the silence we shared - Diego’s hand in mine, his thumb tracing sm

  • Kidnapped By My Mafia Protector    Chapter Ten

    ElenaThe day after our little shopping spree had been cold, silent, and distant. We'd had fun - laughing, teasing, even flirting. I'd felt a spark, something almost real beginning to form between us. I loved how I felt about it and I was confident he felt it too.When we got home, he excused himself to go make a call, and he was in his study for hours. I have never been in his study, even after exploring almost everywhere in the house. When he came back down for dinner, he was polite, attentive even, but distant. Like he was somewhere far away. Tense. Guarded.Part of me wondered if I had done something wrong. Had I been too forward? Too comfortable? But then I’d catch him looking at me with something soft in his eyes, and I’d tell myself it wasn’t me. Still, something felt off.With the masquerade ball just a day away, I should be happy about this sudden change, right? Maybe he wanted to call the wedding off and I could return to my father, my friends, my old life. So why did the th

  • Kidnapped By My Mafia Protector    Chapter Nine

    ElenaThis weekend has been unexpectedly perfect.I spent so much time with Calah and Diego, it was starting to feel like this life - this strange, luxurious, dangerous new life - wasn’t so bad after all. Calah was a joy. Sweet, thoughtful, always asking the most curious questions. We watched old Disney movies, played board games that I hadn’t touched since I was ten, and even did a little cooking with Maria. I let her stir the sauce while I chopped vegetables, making Maria laugh so hard and she beamed like I’d handed her the keys to the universe. I loved every minute of it. And I loved her too.The wedding is a week away now.Diego had come into the lounge yesterday afternoon, leaned against the archway, and said, “If you want to make any plans for the ceremony, just tell me. I’ll have the planners come here. I want it to be something you remember, something you wanted.”That surprised me more than it should have. A man like Diego, giving me a say??“You don’t have to do that,” I’d s
