Vanessa.

She was right.

I hated that girl since the very first day I saw her, I knew Luca liked her because of how she looked, but I could just tell she was trouble. And she needed to go even if it meant blowing up my marriage.

She was Young, full of life and looked like someone Luca would fall in love with. She could give him kids something I could not be able to do.

Luca alwyas said he didn't mind that I couldn't give him children since he did not want any kids.

But he was still young, he was only thirty and I knew he would change his mind someday, I always thought when that day came, we would cross that bridge, but now with Lila in the picture I was running out of time.

Lila was right and too involved in business that did not concern her, but she was not wrong. We were both living a lie pretending to be happy and we were dragging innocent people down with us into our web of lies.

I watched Luca, his body still and his breath shallow, I watched as his chest rose up and down w

  • 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

    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

    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

    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
