Lila Morgan. (The real Lila.)

When I agreed to this meet up I was going through a Rollercoaster of emotions after finding out we were practically siblings with the man I had, had a huge crush on for almost half my life and meeting with my biological dad and also finding out my parents had been keeping the most important news from me.

But now I wasn't so sure I was ready to do it, meet the woman behind all this chaos.

The moment I step into the café, I feel her eyes on me.

She’s sitting near the back, tucked in a corner booth like she always used to half hidden, observing, calculating. There’s a calmness to her posture, like she’s been expecting this moment for years. Like she’s had her apology her excuses rehearsed for so long they feel real to her now.

But I’m not here for her version of the truth.

I’m here for mine.

I walk slowly toward her. My heartbeat pounds in my ears, but my steps are steady. She’s thinner than I remember, her face more angular, more sculpted. Her hair is sty

  • MARRIED TO THE MAFIA   Chapter 117

    Lila. It had been atleast two weeks since I saw Luca or talked to him. He had tried to reach out several times but I was not in any mood to talk or make small talk. I was still processing everything that had just happened, in a span of twenty four hours my life had been turned upside down, even the person I had trusted my whole life had lied to me, and she was gone I couldn't even be mad. But today I was going to try and have a talk with Luca. I had woken up in good moods and maybe I could get to know him a little bit now that I had accepted that he was not my person, he was my brother. I don’t know what I expected when I walked into Luca’s estate unannounced.A cold shoulder, maybe.A dismissive excuse about being busy. Or him actually being busy or not being home since I did not call in advance this was an impromptu pop up. But I never expected this. The sound of laughter stops me in the hallway. Not just any laughter hers . It’s like hearing my own voice warped through static

  • MARRIED TO THE MAFIA   Chapter 116

    Luca. Some men play chess.I prefer war. But I wanted both. I wanted to squeeze the life out of frank for what he did to Lena. I was still pissed at everything she had done but no one deserved to be treated the way he treated Lena. Chess is predictable an elegant dance of logic and control. But war? War is chaos disguised as purpose. The kind of chaos I’ve trained my whole life to bend to my will.Tonight, I’m done reacting.I needed to play my cards right because I still needed to find where he was keeping Lenas brother before I could make any moves on him and my men were still looking into it while I confronted Frank in person. I wanted to do it in person, man to man. If there was one thing I despised was men who took advantage of women and mistreated children. I’m done watching from the sidelines as they gut my life from the inside out.Now, I make the first move.The drive sits in the passenger seat of my car like a detonator. Every name, location, date burned into my memory

  • MARRIED TO THE MAFIA   Chapter 115

    Lena. The knock on my door was relentless, I quickly rushed to open it. I wasn't expecting anyone, it was Luca. I immediately looked at my watch it was almost seven in the morning, what was he doing here so early in the morning and without any notice. Maybe he was here to arrest me finally for everything I had done. I opened the door slowly, and he didn't even wait to be invited in, he just walked past me into the house, holding a folder in his hand. I closed the door behind me and followed him to my living room, all kinds of thoughts going through my mind. He fished through the folder he was holding and removed what looked like a flash disk. The flash drive is small. Plain black plastic. Unassuming. Like it doesn’t contain enough weight to splinter the world I thought I knew.But it does. Luca stands up and starts pacing around the house still holding the drive. He drops it on the kitchen table like it’s a piece of trash. His face is stone hard and unreadable. I can’t tell if

    Luca. I was still having a hard time believing everything Lena had just said, but again I really could not put anything past Vanessa. She was capable of anything and she was a woman scorned. She woudk do anything. She’s exactly where I knew she’d be.Vanessa never could resist the penthouse downtown, the one I helped her furnish back when she still wore my name like armor. Same view. Same marble floors. Same scent of expensive candles trying to cover up rot.But the woman who opens the door now isn’t the Vanessa I remember. This one has sharper cheekbones, colder eyes, and a smirk that tells me she’s already written the end of the story.Too bad she doesn’t realize I came to rewrite it.“Luca,” she says, tilting her head. “To what do I owe the pleasure? Or should I say, the storm?”“Cut the theatrics.” I step inside without waiting for an invitation. “You and I are going to talk. Now.”She shuts the door slowly, her heels echoing across the polished floor like gunshots.“Still bossy

    Lena. The last place I ever thought I’d see again was Luca’s house.But here I am, standing in his doorway, feeling like an echo of someone who no longer exists. He opens the door with the kind of caution reserved for ghosts and enemies, and I can’t blame him.I wouldn’t trust me either. Not after everything I had done. “Luca,” I say softly, not daring to step inside until he says so.He doesn’t move, but he doesn’t close the door either.His jaw is tense. He’s wearing the same cologne he always did warm cedar and spice and it hits me like a punch. Every part of him is familiar and unreachable all at once.“You shouldn’t be here,” he says finally.“I know.”“Then why are you?”“Because I owe you the truth. All of it. No more lies. I think you deserve that and I just need you to hear me out.”He studies me for a moment, eyes narrowing like he’s trying to read between the lines of my face. Then, he opens the door a little wider and steps back.I walk in slowly. Each step heavier than

  • MARRIED TO THE MAFIA   Chapter 112

    Lena. I used to love the smell of cinnamon.Mom would boil water with clove and cinnamon sticks when we couldn’t afford candles or electricity. She said it made the house smell like love. Like holidays. Like things we could never really have.It’s funny, the things that stay with you from the past. Even now, sitting in this bus station with nothing but a duffel bag and silence, I swear I can smell it again.Faint. Fading. Like a ghost of the girl I used to be.My name is Lena. Or at least, it used to be.And before I was Lila, before I stole someone else’s breath and smile and signature I was just a girl watching the world forget her.I didn't steal just anyone's name, I stole my best friend's life. She was the only person in the entire world that had ever accepted me for who I was and never judged me. And in return I had messed everything up for her. I wasn't always like this, selfish and a liar. Life has a way of messing you up sometimes that you have no option left. I don’t re
