  • Mafia's Heir   CHAPTER 51 – After the Fire

    The rain had stopped by the time they reached the mansion.The sky hung low and gray, like the world itself was exhausted from the violence of the night.Adrien carried Elena through the front doors without a word.The estate no longer looked invincible. Bullet holes scarred the stone pillars. One of the grand windows had shattered completely, glass swept aside but still glittering faintly in the early dawn light. The marble floors inside had been cleaned, yet the faint metallic scent of blood still lingered in the air.The house had survived.Barely.So had they.Marco followed a few steps behind, issuing quiet instructions to the remaining guards. Reinforce the south perimeter. Replace the surveillance grid. Double the night watch.War might be over — but paranoia never was.Adrien didn’t slow as he climbed the staircase.“Elena needs a doctor,” Marco said quietly.“I already called one,” Adrien replied.Of course he had.He pushed open the bedroom door with his shoulder and walked

  • Mafia's Heir   CHAPTER 50 – The Shot That Changed Everything

    The gunshot echoed through the warehouse like a crack in the sky.For one suspended second, no one moved.No one breathed.Elena’s scream tore through the silence, raw and broken, as the sound of the bullet ricocheted through the steel beams overhead. Dust drifted down from the ceiling, floating in the dim light like ash after a fire.Adrien froze.Viktor froze.Both men stared at the gun lying between them.Neither of them had fired.A third shot rang out.This one didn’t miss.Marco burst in from the side entrance with two armed men behind him, smoke rising from the barrel of his weapon.“Boss!”Adrien turned just in time to see one of Viktor’s men drop to the floor, blood spreading beneath him.Chaos exploded again.More guards rushed in from the far end of the warehouse. Gunfire erupted from both sides, bullets tearing into metal walls, sparks flying in every direction.Adrien didn’t look at them.His eyes went straight to Elena.She was half on the floor, the broken chair twisted

  • Mafia's Heir   CHAPTER 49 – The World Before the Fire

    Thunder still rolled over the city, long and violent, shaking the windows of the abandoned warehouse where Adrien D’Angelo stood like the eye of a coming storm.No one spoke.No one moved.The men around him had seen him angry before. They had seen him ruthless. They had seen him kill without hesitation.They had never seen him like this.Marco wiped blood from his mouth and stepped closer. “We lost the east wing entirely. Half the men are down. The house is secure now, but—”“But she isn’t,” Adrien finished.His voice was quiet.That was worse.The storm outside cracked again, lightning illuminating the warehouse in brief white flashes. In those flashes, Adrien’s face looked carved from stone — no emotion, no mercy, just a stillness so absolute it felt unnatural.“She didn’t make it to the extraction point,” Marco continued carefully. “There was no body. No blood. She was taken.”Adrien closed his eyes for half a second.Taken.Not dead.Taken meant breathing.Taken meant hope.Taken

    The engines faded into the distance, but the silence they left behind was louder than any gunshot.Elena stood frozen at the top of the staircase long after Adrien had gone. The echo of the closing doors still rang in her ears, heavy and final, like a verdict that couldn’t be appealed. The mansion felt different without him — too large, too hollow, like a body missing its heart.She wrapped her arms around herself and exhaled slowly.Stay alive, he had said.As if survival were something she could simply choose.The guards remained stationed throughout the estate, shadows at every corner, boots whispering across marble floors. Cameras blinked red and green. Steel gates hummed with electricity. This place was built like a fortress — and yet, Elena had never felt more exposed.She descended the stairs slowly, each step deliberate, grounding herself. Fear would do nothing for her now. Fear was a luxury she couldn’t afford.In the sitting room, she poured herself a glass of water, her han

    The city did not sleep — it only pretended to.From the balcony of the D’Angelo estate, Elena could see the distant lights of Milan blinking like restless eyes, watching, waiting. The night air was cold against her bare arms, carrying the faint scent of rain and metal — a smell she had come to associate with danger.She wrapped Adrien’s jacket tighter around herself.The house behind her was too quiet.That was the thing about the D’Angelo world — silence was never peace. Silence meant something was moving.Behind her, the soft click of a door sounded. She didn’t turn immediately. She already knew who it was.“You shouldn’t be out here,” Adrien said.His voice was steady, but she could hear the tension beneath it — the kind that lived in his bones, never leaving, never loosening its grip.“I couldn’t breathe inside,” she replied softly. “Not tonight.”Adrien stepped closer, stopping beside her at the railing. He was dressed in black — always black — the faint outline of the bandage st

  • Mafia's Heir    CHAPTER —46 When Blood Betrays

    The moment Viktor’s hand dropped, the world exploded. Gunfire ripped through the warehouse, deafening and blinding. Sparks flew as bullets struck metal crates, the sharp clangs echoing like screams. Adrien moved instantly, dragging Elena down behind a thick steel pillar just as a spray of bullets tore through the space where they’d been standing. “Stay. Down.” His voice was calm. Too calm. Elena pressed her back against the cold metal, heart slamming violently against her ribs. She could hear him breathing — controlled, measured — even as chaos reigned around them. Adrien leaned out, fired twice. Two bodies fell. Viktor’s laughter echoed through the warehouse, distorted by the gunfire. “Still sharp, D’Angelo! Even wounded!” Adrien didn’t respond. He didn’t waste words when blood was being spilled. He fired again, moving with lethal precision despite the pain tearing through his side. Every step pulled at his stitches, warm blood soaking further into his bandage — but he igno
