CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE
RAVENNA
~~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤♤“Who’s this?” I asked after picking up my ringing phone.Zypher had found the phone at the men’s house and she had brought it back for me.
“That’s not a cheery tone, sweetheart.”
Anthony? How did he get my number?
“What’s up, Anthony? How did you get my number?”
He chuckled. “Sweetheart, I find out anything I want to. Why don’t we forget about that and focus more on the topic at hand?”
“Which is?”
“The dude who attacked you at your little party.”
I knifed up my bed. “You found him?”
“Yes. He’s mainly works as a loan shark, and other times, he’s a hired sniper. His name is Ken Russell. I just stumbled by an information that he’s attending an auction.”
Dread filled my stomach. “This isn’t just an ordin

VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧“Long time, Valentino. Who did you murder this time around?” Detective Parker asked, walking towards me. Detective Parker worked mostly for Fiore, but on some days, he helped. He caused less burden when we had to bring in the cops sometimes, but of course it came at a price. A very expensive price. “No one. I didn’t do the killing this time around,” I replied. “These men actually deserve their deaths. They were auctioning off girls.” “How many bodies?” He asked. “Dunno.” I turned to Ravenna, who was speaking to one girl. “Come over here for a sec.” “What’s going on?” She asked. “How many bodies are inside?” Detective Parker asked. She gave him a curious look. “Who are you?” “He’s a cop. He’s here to help. You need to run things through him before he has to call the police department,” I replied. “Okay. There are about twenty five bodies in there. All i

VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧“Dad talked to me last night,” Ciro said quietly from where he was sat at the table while I went about making breakfast for myself.“Seriously, Ciro, that’s the last thing I want to talk about. You’re also the last person I want to talk to.”“Why? Because Dad said he was going to hand over to me?”“No. I just don’t want to think or talk about anything that happened yesterday.”“Well, that’s not what I wanted to say. If only you had let me explain.”“Continue. Just don’t be too long because after breakfast, I’m going back to bed.”Ciro grinned at me. “What, no getting all dressed up in a suit and heading for work?”“Since he talked shit last night, he might as well do all the work. I’m taking a much needed rest. I think the next time we see

RAVENNA ~~~~~~~~ ♤♤♤♤♤♤ “That’s Paul. Don’t say anything when we go over and keep your eyes down. Are we clear?” Valentino asked, pointing to said man standing at the other end of the room, with a beaming smile on his face as he talked to another man. “Crystal.” We wove through the crowd of bodies until we came to a stop in front of Paul. He waved the man he was talking to off before he turned to us. “Valentino! It surprised me when you asked for an invitation. I see you finally took my advice and got yourself a sub,” Paul said, giving Valentino a fatherly pat on the back. “It was only a matter of time, plus this one is a wild thing in bed.” This one? Did he seriously just call me that? I forced myself to keep face neutral and my eyes down just like he had asked. I could hear the smirk in his voice, if that was possible. “What’s your name, angel?” Paul asked, but I didn’t answer. H
MAFIA HEIRESS CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
VALENTINO ~~~~~~~~~~♧♧♧♧♧♧"What the fuck are you doing, Hank?"He whipped his head to the side while he kept his gun pointed at Ravenna."I know you've been tailing me. You ordered that hit on my son, didn't you? Now it's time for me to take something equally as precious away from you."Well, that was news to me. I didn't know he was aware I was the one that ordered the hit on his son."Since when did a fuck buddy translate into something important? She only lasts for tonight so killing her would be a waste, no? And you want that revenge so much. Killing her won't give you that."My voice was filled with conviction, and I hoped he bought the lie. I moved my gaze to Ravenna's for a split second, and I found hers filled with fear."You think I'm stupid, huh? If she was just a fuck buddy that lasted for the night, why would you put her on your lap. That seemed pretty special to me.""What do you want, Hank? We both know

RAVENNA~~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤♤“Renegade is inside. Make sure you don’t feed him anything. I have taken care of that already,” the guard who stood at the gate of Valentino’s house said as he opened the car door for me. I rolled my eyes at him. “I wasn’t planning on feeding him anything. What’s with you and your boss and telling me what I can and cannot do?” “You may go in.” I walked into the house and into the living room where I found Renegade on the couch watching some kind of... cooking show? “Hi. Looks like your owner spoils you a lot. Look at you watching some show on this big ass TV. Can I sit?” He grunted, and I took it as a yes, so I sat next to him, kicking off my heels. “I know it might seem weird talking to a dog, but that’s the only way I’ll be able to keep myself awake. Plus, I’m hungry, and I’m not allowed to ‘snoop around’, but to be honest, I don’t know if that includes the kitchen. What do you

RAVENNA~~~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤♤“Look who showed up,” Alaina said, as I pulled into the warehouse and got out of the car with Zypher. “Alaina. It’s been a long time. What brought you by?” “I came to get my car fixed. I was just about to leave.” “Alaina, meet Zypher. She’s a friend. Zypher, this is Alaina. She’s an acquaintance.” Alaina gasped dramatically. “An acquaintance? You hurt my heart, Ravenna.” She grabbed my arm, pulling me to her side. “We’re best of friends. We should go for drinks tonight to make up for lost time.” “I have a funeral to attend tomorrow.” “Even better. You can get a hangover tonight from drinking, and then wear your dark shades tomorrow to protect your eyes. They’re bound to think you’re remorseful for the death even though I have a strong feeling you’re not.” “Bingo.” “See? I know you so well. In fact, I think we’re best friends. Don’t you think so, Zee?” Alaina asked

RAVENNA~~~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤♤“You know, if you missed me that much, you could’ve just said so instead of going through this entire process,” I teased as I led Nana through the house and into her bedroom.When she was settled on her bed, she rolled her eyes at me. “I didn’t do that. I’ve been really worried about you lately, and you know when I’m stressed and worried, I like to clean. I haven’t been getting much rest.”“I know. I was just joking.” I climbed under the covers next to her, placing my head on her shoulder. “I had been really worried when I got that call. Don’t scare me like that ever again.”“I didn’t mean to. You’ve been really busy lately.”I nodded, but I didn’t elaborate on the subject. It would only get her more worried, and that was the last thing I wanted.“Ravenna?”
MAFIA HEIRESS CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
RAVENNA ~~~~~~~~~♤♤♤♤♤♤Three days.That was how long I had been absent from work, and my messages were overflowing. I was glad for the break because it meant I got to spent time with Nana, but now, it was over. I had to return to work."You look so casual. This is your comeback after taking a break for three days. You're supposed to dress up," Alaina said with a mug of coffee in her hand as she walked into my room.There was also one more thing that happened during those three days. On the first day of Nana's return from the hospital, we had decided to get drunk after waiting on Nana hand and foot.Alaina had gotten too drunk and she had made a confession about not having a home of her own, and then I had offered her a room at my place until she should get one of her own.On that same night, a drunk Zypher had admitted to kissing Anthony, but before she could get drilled on it, she passed out.Ever since then, she's been pr
