As Dwyne and Bradley's car glided through the familiar streets of Palm Beach, a mix of nostalgia and melancholy washed over her. 

The palm trees lining the avenue swayed gently in the warm breeze, casting dappled shadows on the road. This was the place where she had spent her formative years, a place now filled with memories both bittersweet and poignant.

  • Loved by the Mafia Boss   Chapter 67

    I did not go home after that.I did not even slow down.The car was already waiting at the lobby, engine running, door open before I even reached it. The moment I stepped inside, the door shut behind me, and we were already moving.Fast, silent and efficient.“Take me to the house,” I said.My voice was calm and no one questioned it because they understood the situation is urgent and have no time to joke around.The mansion came into view within minutes, the gates already open, guards standing at full alert the moment my car approached. The atmosphere was different from usual; it was tighter and heavier.There was no routin

    (**Go to Bradley Point of View**)The cooperation agreement for the acquisition and testing of new weapons required my direct presence, which was the only reason I allowed myself to leave her, even for a short time.It was a remote town in Africa, far from everything familiar, far from her.From the very beginning, something about it did not sit right with me; it was not fear or doubt but a quiet, persistent unease that settled beneath my skin and refused to disappear, no matter how much I tried to focus on the work in front of me.I had left her protected and guarded, surrounded by men who understood exactly what she meant to me.And yet—The distance still felt wrong.The call came when I was in the middle of reviewing the final details of the agreement.My phone vibrated once then again, it was insistent like something urgent.I answered without looking at the number. “Speak.”There was no greeting on the other end; only the kind of silence that carried something already broken.“Mi

    Consciousness did not return all at once.It came slowly, like something pulling me upward through thick, suffocating darkness, dragging me back into a body that did not feel like mine.The first thing I noticed was the heavy weight as if every part of me had been drained of strength and replaced with something dull and unresponsive.My fingers twitched slightly or at least I thought they did before my eyes barely opened. Light filtered into my vision in fragments, blurred and unfocused, forcing me to blink several times before the shapes around me began to settle into something recognizable.I inhaled slowly, even that felt wrong; it was too heavy and too controlled.Memory hit me all at once; the car, the struggle and the syringe. Benjamin.My breath hitched and instinctively, I tried to move but I couldn't, nothing happened. A sharp wave of panic surged through me as I forced my body to respond, to react, to do something—Anything.But my limbs refused because I felt so weak and unr

    The car did not stop for a long time.Or maybe it did, and I simply lost track of it.Time blurred into something meaningless, stretched thin between the steady hum of the engine and the suffocating silence that filled the space between us.Benjamin did not speak again after that.He only watched me as if I were something he had finally reclaimed and I refused to give him anything; no fear, no reaction and no satisfaction. Even as my mind raced, calculating every possibility, every movement, every chance I might have to turn this around—I kept my expression calm, my posture steady.Because if there was one thing I had learned that it was men like him thrived on control and I would not give it to him.When the car finally stopped, the door opened immediately.“Out,” one of the men said.I did not move, not right away.I looked at Benjamin instead. “Where are you taking me?”He tilted his head slightly, as if the question amused him.“Home,” he said.This man…My jaw tightened. “This is

    By the time Benjamin left the café, the tension he brought with him lingered long after the door closed behind him but I refused to let it ruin the rest of my day.Maya, on the other hand, was still visibly irritated.“I seriously cannot stand him,” she muttered, grabbing her bag. “He talks like the world belongs to him.”I let out a small breath, finishing my drink before standing.“That is because he believes it does,” I replied calmly.She rolled her eyes. “Well, I do not care what he believes. You handled that perfectly.”A faint smile touched my lips.Maybe or maybe I was just tired of running.We stepped out of the café together, the air outside cooler, calmer—almost normal compared to what had just happened inside.“Let’s go somewhere else,” Maya said suddenly, linking her arm with mine. “I am not ending the day like this. Vernon is at the pub, we can meet him there.”I nodded lightly. “That sounds good.”Because I needed something else; something that did not involve tension,

    Benjamin did not move, not when I refused him.Not when Marco and Gray subtly stepped into position, their presence forming an invisible barrier between us.He simply stood there, looking at me as if time itself had paused, as if he were trying to reconcile the person in front of him with the girl he once believed he owned.The café remained quiet around us, though I could feel the shift in the air. Conversations softened, glances flickered in our direction, and something unspoken began to settle into the space between us.Pressure, expectation and control.“You have changed,” Benjamin said at last, his voice calm, though there was something sharper beneath it.I leaned back slightly in my chair, crossing my arms as I held his gaze.“I grew up and learn,” I replied.The answer was simple but it carried weight because we both knew that was not what he meant.His lips curved faintly, though there was no warmth in the expression.“No,” he said slowly. “You have become defiant.”I tilted

    The next day, Dwyne couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, a bemused smile tugging at her lips as she saw Marco and Gray standing in the lobby, a sleek black Mercedes waiting behind them. Both men stood confidently, arms crossed, clearly in no rush, as if they’d been waiting all morning.“Seriously? You

    Phillipe Quinn stood by his office window, swirling the glass of whiskey in his hand. The weight of seeing Ellaine after all these years hung heavily on him. He hadn’t expected it, certainly not in the chaotic setting of a public hospital. Ellaine… She looks well…The years of separation, filled with

    My eyes widened when we arrived at The Astoria, a luxury apartment complex in Coral Gables, just a stone's throw away from Palm Beach. Is he serious?!The sleek glass facade gleamed under the afternoon sun, and palm trees lined the pristine entrance, making the place look more like a five-star resort

    As Benjamin Harrington walked back towards his Bentley, his eyes remained locked on Bradley, who stood beside Dwyne with a protective stance.The disbelief on Benjamin’s face was palpable as he tried to process the unexpected scenario unfolding before him.Bradley&r
