I never imagined I’d stand in this house again.

The walls still smell the same polished wood, old roses, something colder underneath it all. The ghosts here are almost as real as the sons who refuse to look me in the eye.

I sit on the edge of the settee in the study. The same room Richard used to call me into when he wanted to remind me how small and foolish I was.

Luca keeps to the far side, a storm coiled tight beneath his too-calm face. Alex sits beside me, though he’s not touching me anymore. He hasn’t since we came back inside.

The young woman, Luca’s wife sits in a chair by the fireplace, her hands clasped so tight in her lap her knuckles are white. She is afraid of me. I can see it in the way she studies me with cautious eyes.

Good. Maybe she should be. Maybe everyone should be.

Because I am not the woman I was when I left this house. And I will never be her again.

“You want answers,” I say finally, my voice quiet but steady. “You deserve them.”

Luca doesn’t respond. His ga

  • MARRIED TO THE MAFIA   Chapter 182

    LucaI don’t remember getting out of the SUV.One second, the medic was yelling that she needed a trauma team ready; the next, I was stumbling after the gurney as they wheeled her through the automatic doors.Everything blurred together voices over the intercom, the antiseptic tang of hospital air, the squeal of wheels on polished linoleum.“Sir, you have to stay back,” someone said, but I couldn’t seem to make my legs stop moving.Lila’s head lolled to the side, her face the color of paper.“Lila,” I rasped, reaching for her.A nurse gently pushed my hand away. “Please, sir. We need space.”“Don’t leave her,” I croaked. “Don’t let her”“She’s in good hands,” the nurse said, and though her voice was soft, it was also firm.They swept her through a set of doors marked TRAUMA, and I was left standing there, the silence after the doors slammed like a punch to the chest.For a moment, I couldn’t breathe.Enzo appeared at my side, one hand braced on my shoulder to steady me.“Boss.”I didn

    LucaI’d seen men die before.I’d seen them bleed out on warehouse floors, in the back seats of cars, on marble stairs just like these.But I’d never felt this kind of panic this hollow, tearing dread as I watched Lila slip away in my arms.“Stay with me,” I kept whispering, but her eyes were glassy and unfocused.Her breathing was shallow little gasps that sounded too far apart.Enzo ripped open the trauma kit, and the medic dropped to his knees beside me.“Sir, we have to lay her flat.”“She’s losing too much,” I rasped. My voice didn’t sound like mine. It was ragged, broken. “Fix it.”“We will,” the medic said calmly. “But you need to let go so I can see.”I looked down at my hands. They were slick with her blood. My palms were pressed so hard against her side that my knuckles had turned white.Slowly, I forced myself to ease back.The medic peeled her shirt away, revealing the wound a clean entry in her hip. No exit.Lena hovered behind me, her hands clamped over her mouth. She wa

    LilaI barely made it two steps into the hall before the relief of seeing Luca turned into something else.Something cold.Something that made the edges of my vision go blurry.It started as a slow, dull throb in my side. Like a pulled muscle.Then it grew sharper. Hotter.I thought maybe it was just the adrenaline wearing off. Maybe I was finally letting my body feel the toll of the last few hours.But when I shifted Gabriel in my arms, something warm and wet slid down my hip, soaking into the waistband of my leggings.I stopped walking.My breath caught in my throat.“Lila?” Luca’s brow furrowed. He took a step toward me. “What’s wrong?”I looked down.There was a spreading patch of crimson staining the pale fabric.I opened my mouth, but no sound came out.“Lila?” Luca’s voice cracked. “Talk to me.”“I… ” My throat closed. I swallowed hard, trying to keep my voice steady. “I think…I’m bleeding.”For a second, no one moved.Then everything happened at once.Lena let out a strangled

    LilaI didn’t know how long we’d been in the panic room.Time moved differently in here thick and syrupy, as if every second stretched into an hour.I’d tried not to look at the clock on the wall, but my eyes kept darting back to it. Watching the minutes crawl by while my heart galloped against my ribs.Gabriel slept in my arms, wrapped in a blanket so soft it felt like air. His tiny face was peaceful, his mouth slack in sleep. I couldn’t stop running my thumb over the curve of his cheek, needing the reassurance that he was warm, that he was breathing.That he was still here.Lena paced a narrow strip of floor between the reinforced door and the little kitchenette. Every few minutes, she would stop to check the security feed on the tablet mounted to the wall, as if she expected to see the house burning to the ground.She looked over at me, her dark eyes wide and worried.“Has he called you?” she asked.I shook my head. My throat felt too tight to answer out loud.Luca hadn’t called. H

    Lila"What does he mean by this Jenny? What did you say to him? Where did he go?" My legs nearly give out. I stagger to the couch, the letter fluttering in my trembling hands. The paper is warm from my grip, but his words cut through me like ice.Gone where, Luca? None of this was making an sense, I had only stepped out for a few minutes, waht could she have possibly said to him. I read faster, eyes blurring from more than just the tears building behind them. As if trying to find an hidden message behind the message. But there was no hidden message, it was just as plain as it read. I was about to get up, when I saw another note, a little hidden like he didn't want someone to find it. He had placed it below the fruit bowl, neatly folded. I picked the note, careful not to seem suspicious to Jenny who seemed unfazed by any of this. 'Lila, I couldn’t stay. I know you’ll hate me for this, and I deserve that. But after hearing her, hearing what she said, it wasn’t enough. There is mo

    Luca. I didn’t let myself feel.Not anger, not betrayal, not even the dull ache of exhaustion that had settled into my bones after days of too little sleep.Feeling was a luxury I couldn’t afford.I had exactly one priority now: ending this.Vanessa had always been reckless. That was her weakness. She thought running would put her beyond my reach. She’d forgotten who she was dealing with.I was raised by a man who taught me every way to track a person, every tool you could use to flush them out of whatever hole they crawled into.And Vanessa was never as clever as she believed.I climbed into the backseat of the armored SUV, ignoring the cold burn of my healing leg as I settled in. Paolo was in the driver’s seat, hands clenched on the wheel.“Start driving,” I said.“To where, sir?”“Back to the hospital.”His jaw tightened, but he didn’t argue. The engine rumbled to life, and we pulled away from the house.I pulled my phone from my coat pocket and scrolled through the last few texts
