~~DARK DOMAIN

Next Day – 10AM

Sandro hadn’t gone home the night before. He spent the night at the clan, staring blankly at the screen in front of him. The footage played on a loop—grainy surveillance of where Ace was last spotted. Still, no face. No lead.

Frustrated, he groaned and leaned back in his chair, taking another long drag from his cigarette. He slammed the laptop shut just as his phone buzzed.

Eduardo: Guess who’s back in Italy.

A smirk tugged at Sandro’s lips as he replied:

Sandro: Motherfucker, thought you died already.

Eduardo: I missed you, buddy. Come out—same location. Bring your bride. I can’t wait to meet her.

Sandro: Can’t bring her today. Too much going on.

Eduardo: Alright. See you in 30 minutes.

A knock sounded at the door. Kendrox entered, placing a file on the desk.

“What’s this?” Sandro asked.

“Company reports. Franco finally agreed to collaborate on the winery project.”

Sandro flipped through the file, frowning. “Why now? What is he planning?”

These weren’t just characters on a page — they were echoes of the battles we all fight inside: loyalty, grief, healing, and the hunger to be seen.Thank you for walking with me until the very last page.This isn’t just the end of their story — it’s also a beginning.

  • Mafia's Little Bride   Forever in Our Hearts

    Chapter 74~~ FUNERAL ~~Everyone took their turn in dropping flowers on the grave of Caspian. His tombstone was carved with his real name:“Theodore Frost – Beloved Brother, Friend, Father, and Husband. Forever in Our Hearts.”Sandro walked forward first, dressed in his black suit and dark sunglasses, his face unreadable but his voice heavy.“Never thought I’d bury one of my brothers. It was fun living with you, Frost. You weren’t just a soldier, you were a big part of my life. Rest well, brother.” He placed his flower down and stepped back.Anna walked next, her smile trembling with sadness.“Hey Caspian… living good, huh? Who would’ve thought my gorgeous little best friend would leave me alone after all your promises. You liar.” She chuckled through her tears, dropped her flower, and stepped away.One after another, the rest of the family stepped forward — Kendrox, Fire, Marco, even Lyra — each leaving their flowers in silence, their grief weighing heavier than words.Last came Scy

    Chapter 73~~~ ESPOSITO HOSPITAL – 11:00 PM ~~~The night ripped apart with sirens as different cars screeched into the hospital compound. Doctors and nurses rushed out with stretchers, shouting orders.Caspian, bloodied and unconscious, was lifted quickly. His hand slipped lifelessly from the stretcher as they pushed him through the sliding doors.The director hurried toward Sandro. “Sir, you’re bleeding. Please, come with me.”Sandro’s eyes, red with fury and exhaustion, shot him a glare. “Attend to my man first! Get the best doctor here and put your fucking hands to use!” he barked, his voice cracking with both rage and fear.Anna gently touched his arm. “You’re bleeding, let him check you. Caspian will be fine.”Sandro closed his eyes tightly, struggling. Finally, he exhaled. “...Okay.” He let the director lead him away.Two Hours LaterJenny stirred awake in a dim ward, her lashes wet. Anna sat beside her, eyes swollen from crying.Jenny’s voice broke immediately. “What’s going o

  • Mafia's Little Bride   What Remains After Fire

    Chapter 72Caspian shot down guard after guard, his movements sharp, merciless. He grabbed one by the throat and slammed him against the wall, the man’s body crumpling before he even hit the floor. Caspian advanced, gun raised, rounding the corner—only to nearly fire at the figure who appeared before him.His finger froze on the trigger.“Scylla?” he breathed.Her eyes widened. The gun in her hand slipped from her grasp and clattered to the floor as tears spilled down her cheeks. In the next instant, she ran straight into his arms.“Theo…” she choked against his chest.The name struck him like a bullet. His gun slipped from his hand, clattering to the ground. He pushed her back slightly, disbelief tearing through him.“What… what did you just call me?” his voice cracked.“Theodore,” she whispered again, sobbing. “It’s me… Juliette.”For a heartbeat, the world stopped. His throat burned, his chest constricted as if he couldn’t breathe.“Juliette?” His voice broke. “No… no, this… this c

  • Mafia's Little Bride   The Face of the Enemy

    Chapters 71Scylla staggered back, her eyes wide. “H–How the hell…?”“Help me,” Thane rasped, before collapsing into their arms.Chaos broke out instantly. He was rushed to the infirmary, word spreading like wildfire through the clan until it reached Sandro. The moment he heard the name, his blood ran cold. His chair scraped violently against the floor as he bolted out of his office and sprinted down the hall.When he pushed the infirmary doors open, the sight stopped him dead.On the bed lay Thane. His Thane. His dead friend—the brother he mourned every single day—breathing. Alive.Sandro’s throat tightened. His hand shook as he reached out, trembling inches away from Thane’s face, but he couldn’t bring himself to touch. His voice cracked, barely a whisper.“How… how is this possible?”His knees buckled. He collapsed into the chair beside the bed, his chest rising and falling unevenly. He whispered the name again and again, like a prayer, like a curse.“Thane… Thane…”Minutes bled in

    Chapter 70~~~THREE MONTHS LATER~~~~~~DARK DOMAIN – NIGHT~~~Jenny had been brought to the clan by Sandro two months ago, hoping Caspian would come after her. But he never did. Three months passed, and still, neither Caspian nor Ace had appeared. They had vanished into thin air—like smoke swallowed by the night.Jenny sat outside the clan gates, her phone beside her, her gaze fixed on the silent moon. Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears.“Hey,” a soft voice called.She turned to see Scylla approaching.“Hi,” Jenny whispered, quickly wiping her face before looking away.“What are you thinking about?” Scylla asked gently.Jenny forced a brittle smile. “Nothing… I just… I can’t stop thinking about him. What if something really happened to him?” Her voice cracked as tears slipped free.Scylla didn’t hesitate. She pulled Jenny into her arms, her own eyes heavy. “Caspian was like a brother to me… I saw him as family. Never—not once—did I imagine he’d do this. Why? Why the hell would he?”
