Adriano

My pulse spiked. And then—A pause from Mason. “Third child. Female.”

My chest went still. “Adopted.” Another pause. “Name: Arianna.”

Silence filled the room. Heavy. Final.

Luca and I looked at each other.

Everything clicked into place. Every inconsistency. Every unanswered question. Every instinct that told me something wasn’t right.

It was confirmed. Rage exploded inside me. Hot. Violent. Consuming. “She lied,” I muttered.

Not just about who she was. But everything.

Mason kept talki

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 146 - To Rise from the Ashes

    MariaI stared at my phone, willing it to ring. I had to work. It just had to.Because I was counting on something no one else could see. Something intangible. That strange invisible thread that bound those two siblings not even related by blood together in ways logic could not define.Too many clues, too many things that separately meant nothing, not unless you looked close enough. And my instincts screamed that they were linked, I just needed the final piece to confirm what I had pieced together.And deep in my heart…I knew what I had seen. The belt, the shoes, the stolen blood, the medical report. Too many pieces of a difficult puzzle, I just needed one last piece…My phone buzzed suddenly in my hand…”Mason…” I greeted, unable to hide the nerves in my shaky voice.He laughed…”No…no…no…ladies first.” He said. “We had cleared Denton of any involvement in Arianna’s disappearance. You yourself confronted him and he denied it. So how???” he asked completely stumped.I shook my head. Ty

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 145 - Scars from the Past

    LiamI watched my brother race across the tile floor and disappear through the International boarding gate.Toward a future neither of us fully understood yet.He looked lighter now. Different from the other day at the hospital when his shoulders were tight beneath the weight of grief and exhaustion.Different from the service for Arianna when he had remained closed off and aloof refusing to even speak.For a second, I just stood there. Watching him depart. Then the crowd swallowed him whole and I could no longer see him.My chest tightened again but I forced myself to move, adjusting the strap of the backpack slung over my shoulder as I headed toward my own terminal.My flight was domestic. I was flying back home to Chicago. Back to war. Back to enemies. Back to traitors that wore the faces of allies. Back to men who thought I was weak enough to grab my crown while I mourned.The backpack on my shoulder carried the small silver urn containing my sister’s ashes. Or rather what I had b

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 144 - The Final Boarding Call

    RemiIt still didn’t feel real.Today, I was leaving my country of birth and stepping into an entirely new life.And somewhere in all this grief and destruction, I couldn’t stop wondering if this tragedy was meant to happen and somehow been the thing that brought two broken families back together again.I had to hold onto that as nothing else would be palatable especially where Arianna was concerned.On the positive side, I had my big brother back. We had never been this close before. Maria checked on me constantly like I was one of her own. And Denton and Nadia…they had somehow become the aunt and uncle we had never really had.Life was strange like that. Cruel but strange. Liam was flying back to Chicago today. Before my flight departed for Heathrow he wanted to see me. Said one last drink between brothers. Something inside me warmed at that.Denton had finally approved it after doing what I was beginning to suspect was a full MI6 level security sweep of JFK. I grinned at that.“W

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 143 - Breakfast Before World Domination

    Liam I hadn’t slept. Not really.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw that room again. That cold steel table. Arianna’s bruised face. And then the service, those frozen images of her. And something kept niggling…worrying at the back of my mind but remaining just out of grasp.But somewhere in the early hours of the morning, while the mansion was completely silent around me, something had clicked into place.And once it did…Everything changed. So when I walked into the breakfast room that morning, I wasn’t hollow anymore. I was focused. Sharp. Dangerous.First, I needed to get rid of the cancerous tumour that was currently within my house, sitting on my throne as if he already owned it. As soon as that traitorous bastard was erased, then I could concentrate on the second order of business. The temptation was there to act now, but I had learnt the hard way. I would not jeopardise my family, not while a threat still loomed.Maria and Luigi were already there at the long breakfast table

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 142 - My Lips Are Sealed

    MasonThe service had been beautiful. But to me it seemed unreal, especially when her blue eyes danced from that picture, too beautiful, too alive, too young for her to be reduced to ashes in silver urns.I stood near the back of the room nursing a whiskey I hadn’t touched, trying to process everything while soft piano music drifted through the formal lounge.Everywhere I looked there were photographs of her. Laughing. Riding bikes. Playing piano. In the garden. A teenager with too much life in her eyes. And every single picture made the guilt sit heavier in my chest.I remembered seeing her at the club for the first time. Then Poker Night. The way she had charmed every asshole in the room within twenty minutes flat.I swallowed hard. Could I have saved her? The thought had been eating at me for days now. If I hadn’t been away…If I had trusted my instincts the night I came to Luca and shared everything I had found.If I had insisted we find Adriano that night instead of waiting…Would

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 141 - The Little Menace on a Pink Ducatti

    Liam It had been a beautiful service. Maria had made sure of that.The formal lounge had been transformed into something warm and elegant instead of cold and untouchable. Soft cream and white flowers filled the room, candles glowing between framed photographs of Arianna at every age. Piano concertos drifted quietly through hidden speakers—her favourite classical pieces threading through conversations and grief alike. Even the urns Maria had chosen were perfect.They were a dull silver. A big one and a smaller one. Simple. Beautiful. One side etched with a rose. The other with a musical clef. It fit her so perfectly it hurt.Denton and Remi had arrived shortly after us. Both in black and sombre but at least Remi seemed pleased to see me.Then came Luca’s friends. Mason. Lemar. Dev. Mason I felt like I already knew due to all his assistance in the search for her. He held my hand a little longer when they shook ours.They seemed like good guys. Like the kind that didn’t just show up ou

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 86 - Time to be a Big Brother

    LiamAnd now—I watched in real time as my little sister was tortured. Begging, screaming, crying. For help, for rescue for me to save her and for me for all my manpower and resources could do nothing. I wasn’t there, where ever there was. I had unleashed the wrath of a son and I couldn’t reach h

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 70 - Lucky 3, Unlucky 4 Part 2

    DentonAbout four hours later I returned. My hands were full of bags now. Takeaway. Burgers. Chips. Milkshakes. Groceries for a week.And a duffel with her clothes from the penthouse. The letter sat safely in the inside pocket of my jacket.I locked the door behind me. She was sitting exactly wher

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 64 - I Just Can't See It

    LucaThe door to the study closed behind us with a heavy thud.For a moment neither Adriano nor I spoke. Then I said what we all knew was a forgone conclusion. “That lunatic just started a war.” I mutteredI could see the rage burning in Adriano’s grey eyes. His jaw was locked, as he just stared at

  • Mafia's Obsession - The CEO's Contracted Songbird    Chapter 61 - Divided Loyalties

    Denton I stepped out into the corridor with my phone pressed to my ear, but my mind was nowhere near the call I was making. It was still stuck inside that hospital room.Still replaying everything those two kids had just told me.I had seen war zones. Terror cells. Governments toppled by shadows
