My Billionaire Ex Or My Mafia Bestie Chapter 51 — What Comes After
The weeks that followed felt strange in their ordinariness, like a held breath finally released after months of bracing for the next blow. Kessler's arrest made the financial press in careful, sanitized language — "irregularities in shareholder acquisitions," "an ongoing federal investigation" — none of it capturing the reality of a man who'd funded two wars and nearly put a bullet through Victor's chest in his own penthouse. Delacroix issued a quiet statement distancing himself from "any association" with Kessler's activities, and within a month his hostile positioning against Victor's company had simply evaporated, replaced by something almost like wary respect between two men who'd once been enemies and were now, if not friends, at least no longer actively trying to destroy each other.Nico's uncle disappeared from the city entirely sometime in the third week — not arrested, not confirmed dead, just gone, the way dangerous old men sometimes were when the money and muscle that had p
My Billionaire Ex Or My Mafia Bestie Chapter 50 — Three Seconds
"Victor!" I screamed again, Torres's hand tight on my arm now, half-restraining, half-bracing me, the radio silent and terrible in my ear.Then, finally — his voice, ragged but alive. "I'm here. I'm here, Bella. I'm fine."The relief hit so hard I nearly went to my knees. "What happened, what was that—""Kessler," Victor said, breathing hard. "He fired. Missed. Nico's men had eyes through the terrace door the second the gun came out — took the shot before Kessler got a second one off.""Is he—""Down," Nico's voice cut in, closer now, footsteps audible through the radio as he moved through the penthouse. "Not dead. Shoulder wound, He's not going anywhere."I sagged against Torres, all the adrenaline of the last four minutes draining out of me at once, leaving my hands shaking and my knees unsteady. "I need to see him," I said. "Both of them. I need to see that you're actually fine, not just telling me you're fine.""Give it ten minutes," Torres said, still cautious, still doing his jo
My Billionaire Ex Or My Mafia Bestie Chapter 49 — The Penthouse
The empty floor Nico had chosen sat one level above the penthouse's private terrace, close enough that I could see the glow of the lights Victor had left on — deliberately, a lure, a man appearing to go about an ordinary night while four armed men closed in on him from across the city."You stay away from the windows," said the man beside me, one of Nico's two guards, a broad, quiet presence named Torres who'd said maybe ten words to me all night. "And you stay on comms. If I say move, you move, no questions.""Understood," I said, though every part of me wanted to be down there instead of up here, watching through a sliver of glass while the two men I loved walked into danger I could do nothing about but observe.The radio on Torres's shoulder crackled. Victor's voice, low and controlled. "In position. Building secure. No sign of Kessler's team yet.""Copy," Nico's voice answered, tighter than Victor's, coiled with the particular tension of a man who'd rather be doing something with
My Billionaire Ex Or My Mafia Bestie Chapter 48 — Forty-Eight Hours
The new safe house was nothing like Victor's island or Nico's old apartment — a nondescript townhouse in a quiet residential block, chosen specifically, Nico said, because it looked exactly like every other townhouse on the street. No cameras visible from the road. No staff. Just the three of us, a rotating security detail dressed as delivery drivers and utility workers, and a countdown none of us said out loud."Delacroix confirms Kessler still believes his position is secure," Victor said, reading from his phone at the kitchen table on the second morning. "No unusual movement. No indication he suspects we know about the residence.""Which means the information hasn't reached him yet," Nico said."Which means it's time," Victor said, and set the phone down.I'd known this moment was coming since we'd agreed to the plan two days earlier, and still, hearing it said aloud, something in my chest tightened painfully. "How does it actually happen? The information reaching him. Walk me thro
My Billionaire Ex Or My Mafia Bestie Chapter 47 — The Residence
The file Delacroix provided was thin — three years old, incomplete, the kind of intelligence a man gathers when he doesn't yet know he'll need it — but it was enough to start with. A private estate two hours north of the city, walled, wooded, deliberately unremarkable from the road. No name on any registry that led back to Kessler directly. Just another shell company, another careful layer of distance between the man and the violence he funded."Six-person security detail, rotating," Nico said, spreading satellite images across the table in Victor's study. "Minimum. Could be more now — Delacroix's information is old. Perimeter sensors, likely armed response within ninety seconds of any breach.""You're not going in the way you went after Marcus," I said. It wasn't a question."No," Victor said. "This isn't a rescue and it isn't a raid. If we go in guns first, Kessler either dies before we get anything useful out of him, or he's gone before we're through the front gate. Men like him do
My Billionaire Ex Or My Mafia Bestie Chapter 46 — An Offer Delacroix Can't Refuse
Getting to Delacroix wasn't the hard part. Getting to him without Kessler knowing about it was."He plays golf every Saturday at the same club," Victor said, spreading a folder across the kitchen island two days later, back in the city now, the island's quiet traded for the sharper, more immediate danger of home ground. "Same foursome for six years. If I show up there, it looks accidental. Old rivals, same club, a conversation over drinks afterward that means nothing to anyone watching.""Except everything," Nico said."Except everything," Victor agreed. "But it has to look like nothing, or Kessler's people will know we've made him within the hour."I sat at the end of the island, a cup of tea I wasn't drinking cooling in front of me, and studied the photograph clipped to the folder — a man in his fifties, silver at the temples, the kind of handsome that had curdled slightly into something harder around the eyes. Charles Delacroix. The man who'd spent two years trying to dismantle Vic
My Billionaire Ex Or My Mafia Bestie Chapter 13: Midnight Run
Nico’s POVThe dashboard clock glows 21:47.Less than three hours until wheels-up.The bunker feels like a coffin now—too quiet, too clean, too full of the scent of her skin and the ghosts of what we just did. Bella is asleep between us on the bed, curled on her side, one hand resting protectively
My Billionaire Ex Or My Mafia Bestie Chapter 5: The Reckoning
Bella’s POV The safe house feels too quiet after Nico leaves. The kind of quiet that presses against your eardrums, amplifies every drip from the showerhead, every creak of settling wood, every shallow breath you take while staring at that damning photo on the coffee table. Victor’s text is sti

Bella’s POVSunlight slices through the blackout curtains like a blade—thin, merciless, cutting straight across my bare hip.I wake up sore in places I forgot could ache.My thighs are sticky. My core throbs with a dull, satisfied pulse. There’s a faint bruise blooming on the inside of my left brea

Chapter 3: The Safe HouseBella’s POVThe rain has turned the city into a black mirror. Streetlights fracture across wet asphalt, headlights smear like wet paint, and every red light feels like a warning we’re ignoring.Nico drives with one hand on the wheel, the other still resting high on my thig
