The Valerio estate never slept.

That was what Lucy had learned since childhood, there were always footsteps on the marble floors, always shadows slipping through corridors, always the scent of smoke and steel clinging to the air. But tonight, the house felt different. Too quiet. Too still.

The silence was heavy, suffocating, like the pause before a storm.

Lucy sat on the edge of her bed, her nightgown clinging to her skin from hours of restless pacing. The curtains were drawn tight, but a thin line of moonlight slipped through, cutting across her floor like a blade. Her heart had not stopped racing since she’d closed her eyes and seen him again, Angelo, in the alley. The night when she’d slipped away from Vince’s men, desperate for air, desperate for something that wasn’t another shadow breathing down her neck.

his voice sharp with warning, his presence too close, too real.

Her mind replayed the alley like it had happened only minutes ago. Angelo’s eyes in the dark. She hadn’t known i

    Lucy’s chest heaved. Her throat burned. She had promised herself she wouldn’t tell. That she would bury this secret so deep it would die with her if it had to.But their voices pressed in on her, different tones, different demands:Selene, calculating, needing control.Kira, desperate, begging to share the burden.Maya, furious, vowing to drag the truth out if she had to.Lucy squeezed her eyes shut, words slipping out before she could stop them. “It doesn’t matter. It can’t matter.”“Doesn’t matter?” Maya snapped, stepping closer. “Lucy, you’re carrying someone’s child. That matters more than anything right now. And if it’s Mancini blood”“Stop.” Lucy’s voice broke like glass.Kira crouched beside her, taking her hand. “Lucy… please. We won’t judge you. We just want to help you. Whoever it is, whatever this means… you don’t have to go through it alone.”Lucy shook her head, biting down so hard on her lip she tasted blood. She couldn’t say his name. Not here. Not yet. If she spoke it

    Maya growled, running a hand down her face. “This is insane. I don’t care who it is. All I know is if Vince smells even a hint of this, Lucy’s finished.”Lucy shut her eyes, tears slipping free. And the child too, she thought, though she didn’t dare say it.Finally, Selene let out a long, tense breath. “Fine. Keep your secrets, Lucy. But don’t think for a second that means we’ll stop watching you. You’re not walking this alone, whether you like it or not.”Kira hugged her tighter, whispering, “We’ll protect you, even if you won’t tell us from what.”And Maya, fiery Maya, leaned close, her voice a dark promise. “If it’s a man, Lucy… whoever he is… and if he hurts you in any way… I’ll kill him myself.”Lucy’s heart cracked under the weight of all three.Her secret still lived, buried inside her, but for how long?The drive to the girls’ shared flat felt endless, though Lucy barely remembered any of it. The streetlights of Catania blurred past, her head pressed against the cool glass of

    Her eyes narrowed. “Something’s wrong. You don’t get to play the ghost with us anymore.”Maya brushed Selene’s hand aside, sliding an arm around Lucy’s shoulders instead. “Don’t press her like that,” she murmured, stroking Lucy’s arm as if soothing a child. “She’s shaking. Can’t you see? She doesn’t need interrogation, she needs… she needs us.”Kira bristled, stepping closer, her gaze darting around the darkened street. “No, what she needs is protection. If she’s out here, if she looks like this, then someone’s got her cornered. Tell me who. Say the word, Lucy, and I’ll make sure they regret it.”Lucy’s lips trembled. She felt them pulling at her, Selene’s razor, Maya’s balm, Kira’s fire.She wanted to collapse into all of them at once. She wanted to scream the truth until her throat bled. She wanted to bury it so deep that no one, not even they, could dig it out.Her voice cracked when it finally emerged.“I… I couldn’t stay in there anymore.”Maya’s arm tightened. “In the estate?”S

  • Mafia’s Feud : Love & Betrayal    Angelo’s Reaction.

    The maps crumpled under Angelo’s fist. For a moment, Marco thought he might explode, overturn the table, demand Marco take back the words. But Angelo didn’t move. He just sat there, rigid, breathing through clenched teeth.It was worse than fury.It was shock.And beneath it, something else, something dangerous.“Does anyone else know?” Angelo’s voice was a blade drawn in the dark.“No,” Marco said quickly. “Only her. Only me. She begged me to tell you in case…” He hesitated. “In case she never gets another chance.”Angelo’s eyes closed, his lashes dark crescents against skin pale with the weight of realization. When he opened them again, fire burned in his gaze.“Tatiana cannot find out,” he said, his voice sharp enough to slice through stone. “If she uses this, if Giovanni learns, it’s over. For Lucy. For the child. For all of us.”Marco nodded grimly. “I know. That’s why I hesitated to tell you. But she insisted. She said you had to know.”Angelo’s fist loosened, fingers dragging

  • Mafia’s Feud : Love & Betrayal    Pregnant.

    The night air clung thick to Marco as he slipped away from Lucy. His boots struck the cobbled streets in sharp rhythm, but inside his chest, his heart was an erratic drum.Lucy’s words refused to leave his head.Tell Angelo… I’m carrying his child.The phrase looped over and over, like a curse branded into his mind.Marco had lived most of his life in shadows, gathering whispers, delivering messages, cleaning up the stains left behind by power-hungry men. Nothing shocked him anymore. Or so he had believed.But this? This was different. This wasn’t some business deal gone sour, or a rival family’s betrayal. This was personal. Messy. The kind of truth that didn’t just stain, it bled.Twice, Marco stopped. Once by the empty market square, staring at the cracked fountain where once, as a boy, he’d stolen bread to survive. Once again at the edge of a narrow alley, where the glow of a lantern painted long shadows against the walls.Both times, he thought about turning back. About burying Lu

  • Mafia’s Feud : Love & Betrayal    The Truth.

    For a long time, Lucy just stood there, fingers clutched so tightly at the folds of her cloak that her knuckles ached. Marco’s revelation still echoed in her ears …..Tatiana is using you. The weight of it pressed harder than any of Vince’s suffocating guards, harder than the mansion walls that never let her breathe.She wanted to scream. She wanted to sob. But neither would change the fact that she had become a weapon in someone else’s war.And worse, inside her chest, deeper still, was the secret she could no longer carry alone.Her lips trembled. She felt Marco’s eyes on her, cautious, watchful, waiting to see if she would break or harden.Finally, she lifted her gaze.“Marco,” she whispered. Her voice sounded brittle, as though it might shatter under its own weight. “You said Angelo would burn the world if Tatiana had me in her hands. That she’s spinning stories about me to prove his weakness.”Marco nodded slowly, wary. “That’s exactly what she’s doing. And it’s working.”Lucy sw
