Mafia’s Prisoner: He Wants Revenge, But I’m Innocent 10. In New Skin
Luca slipped through the hidden path to Nora's cell. He carried a small bag and a beaming smile. Nora felt a rush of relief and excitement when she saw him. Seeing him again after days of isolation lifted her spirits. Luca settled beside her, eager to share the latest."Aria, Dante's furious," he began, his tone half-worried, half-amused. "He's convinced I'm seeing you, and he ranted on about... about some things." Luca hesitated, choosing his words carefully. "He thinks you betrayed Cain. People are saying horrible things about you, even Dante believes them." He stopped short of repeating Dante's insults about Aria, worried it might hurt her.Nora tried to keep her face steady, her heart racing at the idea of Luca not believing Aria's past activities. Was her act not convincing enough? She thought she'd managed so far, but the risk was real now. She couldn't let Luca see through the cracks because then Dante would too. Her mind drifted, lost in the fear of her cover being blown.Sudd
Mafia’s Prisoner: He Wants Revenge, But I’m Innocent A Dangerous Game
Luca stood his ground. He attempted to feign ignorance as Dante glared at him. "I know where you're going with this, Luca. No point in pretending now." Dante's voice was low and dangerous.But Luca simply shook his head. "I have no idea what you're talking about." He was anxious but he kept his expression neutral. He was scared that if Dante came to know about his trips, it will affect Aria more than it would affect him. So he was desperate to maintain the facade.Dante's frustration reached its peak. "Don't... play games with me. We both know well that you've been visiting her. What kind of hold does that low-life... Aria... have over you?" He spat the name like a curse. His eyes narrowed. "She. Is. Filth. Luca. A conniving little snake! And somehow she's managed to seduce my little brother too."That was it for Luca. The breaking point. He could feel his chest getting ignited. A hot surge of anger rising within himself too. "That's not true!" He shouted. The words burst forth befor
Mafia’s Prisoner: He Wants Revenge, But I’m Innocent 9. A Risk Worth Taking
Dante finally returned. His mood was visibly darker and more focused than before. He took in every detail of Nora with his sharp gaze. She could tell immediately that he was in his mood to punish. He refused to take his eyes off her and it made Nora uneasy. "Oh... So I see that you're doing well here." He sneered with contempt. "Look at you." His gaze slithered over her body to scrutinize every inch. She could feel the judgment in his eyes. He was silently noting how the small, rationed meals had brought a hint of life back to her weak appearance.Nora's thoughts flitted back to Aria, her stepsister. Aria had always been bitterly jealous of Nora's curvier figure. She used to call her "fat" and often tried to deny her meals. The only reason she'd survived those times was because of a few kind maids who would sneak her food, until Marcella found out and fired every single one of them.Nora was snapped back into reality as Dante roughly yanked her hand forward. She winced and braced her
Mafia’s Prisoner: He Wants Revenge, But I’m Innocent 8. Forbidden Comfort
Dante returned, and Nora lay still, feigning unconsciousness, her heart racing in anticipation. She hoped her trick would fool him. "If you really think that I'll take you to a hospital while you play dead," he said with his voice full of disdain, "you're mistaken." Her heart sank at his words. But Dante left her there without further punishment. Nora found that spark of hope again. Once he was gone, she caught the whispering voices of the guards outside the open door. "How is she even alive?" one asked. "It's been four days without food or water, right?" The other guard agreed. Nora's heart started pounding in fear again. She could almost hear the gears of thoughts turning in Dante's mind. Him inching closer to truth. A few hours later, bland food was brought to her, the sole purpose of keeping her alive, she realized, as Dante still needed answers. The guards were ready to force-feed her by command but that was unnecessary. Hunger was gnawing at her belly so hard, Nora didn't need
Mafia’s Prisoner: He Wants Revenge, But I’m Innocent 7. A Flicker of Hope
As Luca approached, disbelief crashed over him like a wave. The figure slumped on the cold floor was just a girl. A fragile, battered thing. She looked like she belonged anywhere but in Dante’s grasp. He just couldn't understand why his brother would go after someone so vulnerable.Kneeling down, he brushed back some messy hair from her face. She was out cold, with bruises all over her delicate features. He noticed she was wearing expensive clothes. Proof that she wasn’t a nameless nobody. But they were dirty and torn. Like she’d been through a lot in a short time. Luca wondered. What had happened to her? What story did she carry? But none of that mattered to him right then. All he saw was someone who needed help.Sympathy flooded him, a quiet, undeniable ache in his chest. He didn’t know how she’d ended up here, or why Dante was keeping her hidden… but one thing, he was sure of. He couldn’t just leave her like this.He slipped back quietly but quickly to gather some bandages. When h
Mafia’s Prisoner: He Wants Revenge, But I’m Innocent 6. A Brother's Burden
I always knew my brother was strict. Fierce, ruthless, almost obsessively protective. Especially since Cain was gone. But lately, Dante's concern for my safety felt more stifling than ever. It was like a dog collar. Choking on whatever scrap of freedom I had left."Stay home, Luca." It's the same tiring command every day. "It's not safe out there." He made it clear to the guards: "Don’t let Luca leave the house. And if he does, keep the security tight." He barely let me out of his sight. I was constantly watched, like some fragile thing he thought would shatter at the slightest breeze. He still treated me like a kid, even though I was nineteen now.But even I could see what his endless protectiveness was hiding. He didn’t just want to keep me safe—he was afraid.Ever since Cain's death, Dante had changed. He wasn't just my overprotective older brother anymore. He became a force solely driven by revenge. Working day and night to track down whoever had taken Cain away from us. The phon
Mafia’s Prisoner: He Wants Revenge, But I’m Innocent 5. Beyond The Breaking Point
Nora woke up with deep chills running through her. Ice-cold water drenched her whole body and soaked her clothes. She started coughing, trying to catch her breath. She blinked rapidly to clear the sting from her eyes. She finally opened them to see one of Dante's men standing there with an empty bucket. He stepped back, and Dante came into her still-blurry view. He watched her intently as she wandered back into consciousness.For an odd moment, she was grateful for the water. She could tell she was getting weaker each day. The stench of her own body was settling over her. The water felt more like a grim kindness than a punishment. She tried to swallow through her raw, dry throat. Fatigue had grown over her so much that it was hard to even tell where exactly it ached. There was no way to keep track of time. No windows. No clock. How long had it been? Days? Weeks? All she could spot was a buzzing overhead bulb. It was always on, casting a pale, unpleasant light across the room. She was
Mafia’s Prisoner: He Wants Revenge, But I’m Innocent 4. His First Test
A cold, biting voice brought her back."So, this is Aria." Dante's tone soaked in disdain. He ran a hand through his dark hair, letting it fall perfectly back into place. His broad shoulders commanded the presence of the whole room. His tanned skin suggested a life spent under harsh sunlight. His sharp, polished look said otherwise. Even his veined, strong hands seemed made for both power and detail. His jaw tightened as he spoke, making no attempt to conceal the fury burning beneath his now-calm exterior. "The woman who sold my brother to my enemies." His words stabbed between her ribs. Nora kept her gaze down, forcing herself not to react. But the mention of Cain, a man she'd taken the blame for killing yet had never seen in her life, was almost too much to take in. She was the last person capable of harming anyone, and the accusation cut deep. The unfairness was grave but it was all she had ever known. She had no room for weakness. Not here.Dante stepped closer, disgust dripping
Mafia’s Prisoner: He Wants Revenge, But I’m Innocent 3. Taken
Aria's ambition grew limitless as she made connections in the underworld. She plotted new ways to grow her reach. Then, she found her next perfect prey. She set her sights on Cain, Dante's brother.Cain was the type Aria disliked. Kind, good hearted and trustworthy. But that only made him an easier target. She approached him acting all sweet and vulnerable to gain his trust. Cain, a man known for his loyalty and kindness, had no reason to suspect her. Just when he let his guard down, she betrayed him, tipping off Dante's enemies to seal his fate.Something worse than death.A blood-stained box arrived on Dante's doorstep, heavy and silent. Inside was Cain's severed head. Eyes dull. Mouth slightly parted. A final, gruesome message from his killers. Dante's hands shook as he lifted his brother's lifeless face, fury erupting within him like a blaze. His brother had trusted too easily, loved too blindly. And now he was gone. Because Dante had let it happen. He had failed. The only way to
