Liana

I wake before the sun.

The view from my bedroom windows is breathtaking, the city still not quite awake, but as if it too wants to see what the new dawn will bring.

For so long we had slept in shelters, cheap motel rooms, sometimes even outside that the luxury around me still seems like a dream.

I shake of the melancholy, take a deep breath and embrace the quiet, the space, the faint scent of Adriano still lingering in the room.

For some reason Adriano’s penthouse doesn’t feel cold th

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 80 - Predators Watch, Prey Sleep

    Adriano The fact that my mother was back - alive, breathing, - home, safe —still hadn’t fully settled in my bones. Even sitting at the table, surrounded by family, it didn’t feel real. Zia Maria had gone all out. The table was filled—more food than we could possibly eat. The kind of spread she reserved for celebrations… for joy. But tonight? There was no laughter and jokes. Everyone spoke in hushed tones when they did speak. There was certainly no teasing, no easy conversation. Just silence stretched thin over everything between courses. The atmosphere was stifling, tense...fragile. Like a comment too loud might shatter the relief we all felt. I watched them. My aunt… my uncle… Both of them had red-rimmed eyes. Subtle. Hidden behind forced composure—but I saw it. It was obvious they’d been crying. Of course they had. It could have easily gone the other way today. We all knew it. One wrong move… one miscalculation…And we wouldn’t be sitting here sharing a meal. We’d be planni

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 79 - My Father's Eldest Son Part 2

    Liam M father had called out to me, but I hadn’t stopped. I just wanted to get away. To process my pain and heartbreak elsewhere in private. As I got to the top of the stairs, his hand grabbed my shirt, trying to stay my escape. I was too enraged, throat locked and tears burning my eyes. I just wanted to get away - I surged forward and tore free. Then—The sound. A shout. A sickening thud. The sound is wrong. A dull, wet thud,crack, thud, thud as my fathers body rolled down the stairs. I froze midstep, the fall playing before my eyes like a nightmare come to life. The rage drained out of me in an instant leaving ice in it’s place. “Dad?” I had said in a hoarse whisper. My breath hitched. Even now, even after all this time. I saw it like it was happening again. His body at the bottom of the stairs. Broken. Still. Blood trailing from his head. I moved without thinking, taking the stairs three at a time, nearly tripping over myself. My father lay there, body crumpled, blood already

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 78 = My Father's Eldest Son Part 1

    Chapter 78 – My Father’s Eldest Son Part 1 Liam The drive home should have felt like victory. Hell, by every measure—it was. I had outmanouvered the Morettis. Secured port access that would expand my operations beyond anything I’d built through the docks and my Florida Keys outlets. Power. Reach. Control. Everything I had fought for. And yet…I sat there in silence, staring out the window as the city blurred past, unease coiling low in my gut. Luigi’s last words echoed in my head. Over and over. A quiet warning wrapped in something heavier… something I couldn’t quite place. “All good?” Ronan asked, glancing at me from the driver’s seat. Of course he noticed. He always did. I forced my expression into something neutral, something believable. I tapped the folder resting on my lap—the deeds. “This...this comes at a price,” I said evenly. “There’s going to be a war. We need to be ready.” Ronan’s lips curved into that familiar smirk—the one that belonged to the killer in him. “

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 77 - The Princess Traitor Awaits

    Adriano Zio Luigi’s call came just after the exchange. I stepped away from the noise, my pulse still hammering from everything that had just gone down, and answered on the first ring. “All is a go,” he said, his voice steady, controlled. “We have Yvette. No incidents. We’re on our way back.” For a second… I couldn’t breathe. The tension that had been strangling my chest for days finally loosened, like a vice cracking open. My eyes shut briefly as I exhaled, slow and heavy. “She’s alive?” I asked, needing to hear it again. “She’s alive,” he confirmed. “Weak, sleeping now. Denton treated her as best he could, but she’ll need a doctor when we get in. Head wound, some bruising… but she’s strong.”Strong. That word overpowered all the other clamouring thoughts.A shaky breath left me, something dangerously close to relief threatening to break through the steel I’d been holding myself together with.“Grazie, Zio,” I murmured, voice thick with overflowing emotions.When the call ended

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 76 - The Green Eyed Devil

    Luigi My mind was a whirlwind. Grief, shock, disbelief but most of all regret. So many lost years… all crashing into me at once. The letter had torn something open inside me that I didn’t know how to close again. But I couldn’t think about that now. Couldn’t afford to. Not here, not today. Right now—There was only one priority. Get Yvette back, get out alive. Everything else…Could come later. As we rolled into the outskirts of Scranton, the area was exactly what we expected. Desolate. Industrial. Abandoned warehouses and crumbling workshops lining the road like ghosts of something long forgotten. No civilians. No witnesses. Perfect place for a hostage exchange. We pulled in with fifteen minutes to spare. The engine idled. nThe air inside the car grew heavier with each passing second. The tension ratcheting up so tightly it felt like it might snap. Then—Movement. Five blacked-out SUVs. They rolled in like predators. Slow. Deliberate. Two flanked us on either side. One stopped

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 75 - The Loaded Letter

    Denton The only good news— And I couldn't emphasise it enough - The only good news in all this chaos— Was the update from the hospital that Remi’s operation had been a success. Clean. No complications. The valve had been replaced without issue. He was stable and resting comfortably. For the first time in what felt like days, I had allowed myself to breathe. But even that relief was short-lived. Because everything else was falling apart. Arianna had held me tight after I told her, tears of relief streaming down her cheeks. But not long after she had gone quiet. Too quiet. I looked at her huddled under a blanket on the sofa. She had been carrying too much for far too long. Worry for Remi. Fear for me. And whatever had passed between her and Adriano on that call…That had drained her. I could see it in her eyes. The way the light had dimmed. The way she moved slower… like something inside her had simply given up trying to keep up. This wonderful girl—Just seventeen years old. And

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 21 - Training wheels for Bachelors

    Adriano Denton pulls the car around just after eight. As I slide into the back seat, adjusting my cuffs, I say it like it’s a business instruction—precise, unemotional. “Please pick up Liana at 1pm and take her to the hospital. She wants to catch the doctors after rounds.” Denton nods. “Of cou

    Liana I didn’t remember falling asleep. One moment I was staring out the car window, the early dawn casting faint light and buildings blurring into one another, exhaustion pressing down on me like a physical weight. And the next, I was drifting, wrapped in warmth that didn’t smell like antisept

    Liana Rory’s office smelled like stale cologne and old smoke, the kind that clung to the walls no matter how often the windows were opened. I stood just inside the door, clutching my phone and the strap of my bag, trying to ignore the way my skin crawled. “I just need a minute,” I said. “To mak

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 5 - Baby Grand is Calling

    LIANAI was breathless by the time I had jogged the four blocks to Mischief. The main entrance was really classy, with black glass and a golden mask and the Club name emblazoned on the doors. Everything about it screamed money, catering to the wealthiest players in both legal and not so legal b
