DIEGO ROSSI MANSION

The heavy mahogany doors of Diego Rossi’s study creaked as they closed behind Luca. The grand room, lined with dusty bookshelves and dim oil paintings of past Rossi patriarchs, pulsed with a suffocating tension that could shatter glass. The air was thick with cigar smoke and fury. Diego Rossi stood from behind his enormous desk, papers strewn across its surface, the shadows from the chandelier overhead slicing through his face like blades.

"So, you're back. And I hear you didn't take care of the problem I assigned to you," Diego snarled, his voice low at first—but laced with venom.

He marched from behind the desk with measured, threatening steps. Luca, barely two steps into the room, stiffened. He didn’t speak. He knew better than to interrupt his father mid-fury.

"You failed again, boy. You're a disappointment to our family and our name." Diego’s voice rose to a yell as he landed a hard slap across Luca’s face. The sharp sound echoed off the stone walls. Blood wel

  • Married to my Dad's Billionaire Mafia Friend   Chapter One hundred and Seven: Let Out Desire

    Sophia's POV MORANO'S MANSION – LEONARD'S ROOM "I love you, Leonard," I said softly, the words flowing from my lips like a balm against the storm in his eyes. I wanted to pull him out of the shadows, out of that place where fear tightened its grip around his heart. I wanted to save him from himself. Leonard lifted his face from where it had rested on my shoulder, eyes searching mine like he was looking for the last safe place on earth. "I love you too," he whispered, his voice raw. "I love you more than you can ever imagine." I smiled, but there was a flicker of something deeper in my eyes—an ache, a longing that hadn’t been quenched in days. "I waited for you," I said as I cradled his face. My thumb ran across the dark stubble on his cheek. "I don’t mind waiting, Leonard. Not if it means you come back… but please, come back with more than your body. Come back whole." "I know," he said, voice thick with emotion. "I’m here now." "You keep me waiting like I’m not the only thing yo

  • Married to my Dad's Billionaire Mafia Friend   Chapter One hundred and Six: A Storm We cannot Outrun

    Sophia’s POVMORANO'S MANSION - LEONARD'S ROOM The rain had softened into a rhythmic drizzle, like a lullaby only the lonely understood. I stood by the window in Leonard’s room, arms wrapped around myself. The silk of my nightgown clung to my skin, and the firelight behind me cast a warm glow that flickered against the glass. Outside, the world was blurred—wet trees swayed and the distant hills faded into a grey hush. The chill in the air felt familiar. Almost like an old friend that always came when my heart was too heavy to rest.I didn’t move when I heard the door open and close behind me. Leonard never made noise when he returned. A part of me always knew when he was near—the air shifted, like it recognized him too."You’re still awake," he said quietly."Couldn’t sleep. You were gone longer than usual." I said, turning only slightly to acknowledge him.He didn’t respond immediately. I could hear him take off his watch, the faint metal clink against the dresser sounding louder th

  • Married to my Dad's Billionaire Mafia Friend   Chapter One hundred and Five: Whispers Beneath the Canvas

    Sophia’s POV Crystal University – Art Garden “Sophia!” Mercy’s voice rang out like a songbird echoing through the quiet breeze, just before she flung her arms around me in a jubilant hug. I nearly dropped my brush in surprise. My heart jerked slightly—not from fear, but from being pulled so suddenly out of my thoughts. “Mercy?” I blinked at her, startled. “You scared me.” “Good!” she chirped. “You need some shaking up because, girl, I have news! Big news!” I chuckled faintly at her usual dramatic flair. “You always have news. What is it this time?” Mercy plopped down beside me on the grass with all the energy of someone who had just won a lottery. “You’re not going to believe this…” she began, eyes gleaming. “Those three plastic-faced witches who poured soda all over your sketchpad last week?” “Elena, Tina, and Lina?” I asked, my voice automatically flattening as their names pulled an uncomfortable memory from the back of my mind. “Yes! Those three hyenas in glitter!” she hi

  • Married to my Dad's Billionaire Mafia Friend   Chapter One hundred and Four: Layers and Whispers

    Sophia’s POV Crystal University, Art Garden “La-la-la…” The sound reached me before the footsteps did. A humming tune, faint and soft, floated in the distance like a feather drifting through the breeze. It wasn’t jarring or intrusive—it was gentle, almost melodic—but I didn’t look up. The wind rustled through the branches above, soft enough to whisper but not loud enough to disturb. I liked it here—under the crooked arms of the old eucalyptus tree that stood in the center of the Art Garden. It had been here long before I arrived at Crystal University, and I had the feeling it would still be here long after I was gone. Its bark was peeling in strips like stories half-told, and beneath its shade, I painted in silence. Charcoal strokes pulled tension into the canvas. The figure I was working on—blurred, faceless, fragmented—wasn't anything my professors had assigned. It came from somewhere deeper, some place that only opened in the quiet. My fingers moved in practiced rhythm,

  • Married to my Dad's Billionaire Mafia Friend   Chapter One hundred and Three: POV 3: Rage 2

    MORANO'S MANSION - Meeting Room (Cont'd)The room was quiet, but it was the kind of silence that crackled with tension—thick enough to slice through. A distant rumble of thunder stirred the air outside, mirroring the storm that brewed inside the mansion."Do you have something to say?" Massimo finally broke the silence.Leonard didn’t respond immediately. He sat behind his desk, elbows on the arms of his chair, eyes fixed on Massimo like a predator assessing a threat. The silence dragged again, stretching thin.Then Leonard’s voice came, low and sharp. "Cut the formality, Massimo. We both know this isn’t about business."Massimo didn’t blink. "I figured. You are still angry.""Of course I should be." Leonard leaned forward, voice rising with each word. "You think you could sneak around with my brother without me noticing? You think I’d let someone breathe near him without checking what they had for breakfast?"Massimo bowed his head slightly. "It wasn’t meant to happen. But it did. I

    MORANO'S MANSION – MEETING ROOM "I want to know how a stranger got through my gates, past five trained men, into my house—my house—and almost laid a hand on my wife." Leonard’s voice sliced through the silence like a blade, and the sound of his fist slamming against the table echoed in the cold, dimly lit meeting room. Six bodyguards sat around the round table, their faces drawn tight, eyes avoiding his. No one dared breathe too loudly. Leonard sat at the head, a glass of brandy in his hand, untouched. The amber liquid trembled slightly from the impact of his blow. The silence was thick. Deadly. Until Enzo cleared his throat. "Boss… we’re still going through the footage. He had help. Someone must’ve turned—" "Save it." Leonard growled, eyes burning. "Cameras don’t protect lives. You do. I trained every single one of you better than this. So explain to me how a ghost—a ghost with Diego’s name on his lips—walked into my home and pointed a gun at my wife’s face?" Massimo, standing t
