Alexa’s POV

The news about Don Antonio had sent a jolt of icy terror through me, eclipsing my own immediate problems. My father's anger, Claire's cruelty, losing my job – all of it paled in comparison to the horrifying image of Don Antonio lying injured, fighting for his life.

A fierce urgency gripped me. I had to get to him. Miami felt a world away, but the thought of him being alone, hurt, fueled a desperate resolve. My mother, though worried, understood my need to be there. She helped me pack a small bag, her movements efficient and filled with a quiet determination to support me.

My first practical step was booking a flight. I pulled out my credit card, the familiar platinum rectangle that had always been a symbol of my independence and security. I navigated the airline's website, selected the earliest flight to Miami, and entered my card details with a shaky hand.

Then, the screen flashed red.

Transaction Declined.

A wave of confusion washed over me. There must be some mistake. I

  • My Godfather is my Soulmate   84. Vengeance

    Alexa's POVThe silence in Don Antonio's lavish bedroom was thick, suffocating. I sat in the plush chair, the scent of antiseptic and his expensive cologne filling my nostrils. His words, "Have you made your final decision about whose side you are on?" echoed in my head. But my mind… it was a blank, screaming void. I couldn't speak. I couldn't even think.Every single horror of the last two days flashed behind my eyes: Claire's shattered body, the brutal kidnapping, the fear, the escape, Elsie's attack, her accusations, the horrifying photo of my mother tied up, the knife, the gun... it was an endless loop of pain and betrayal. My father, the man who was supposed to protect us was a monster.Don Antonio was looking at me, his gaze intense, waiting. I knew he was waiting for an answer, waiting for me to declare my allegiance. But the words wouldn't come. My throat was tight, my chest aching, not from a physical wound, but from the crushing weight of all that had happened.And then, som

  • My Godfather is my Soulmate   83. A New Alliance Forged

    Don Antonio's POVThe darkness that had swallowed me was slowly pulling away. My body felt heavy, weak, but the crushing pain in my chest had lessened to a dull ache. I could feel the soft sheets beneath me, the gentle hum of medical equipment nearby. I knew I was in my own bed, with my personal medical team around me.My eyes fluttered open. The room was bright, too bright, and I winced, trying to adjust. Xavier was there, standing by the large windows, his back to me. He was speaking, his voice low and firm, but I could hear the cold edge in his words.And then I heard another voice, one I recognized instantly, one that made my heart give a weak, unexpected lurch. "Don Antonio had a heart attack this morning. A minor one, thankfully. But it was because of you. Because you ran. Because you chose weakness over loyalty."Xavier was talking to Alexa. And he was holding a gun to her head. My eyes snapped open fully, despite the lingering haze. My breath hitched.I tried to move, to sit

  • My Godfather is my Soulmate   82. An Unlikely Rescue

    Alexa's POVThe cold barrel of the gun stared at me, black and unforgiving. Elsie's face, a mask of grief and rage, was inches away. My heart hammered against my ribs, a wild bird trapped in a cage. This was it. This was how it ended. Not in a blaze of revenge, but at the hands of a broken step sister, fueled by a terrible misunderstanding.I braced myself, my breath hitched, my eyes wide with fear. I could only stare at her, my mind racing, desperate for a way out, but finding none.Just as Elsie's finger seemed to tense on the trigger, a new sound ripped through the apartment. Not the crash of a fight, but a distinct, authoritative banging on the front door."Police! Open up!" a loud voice boomed from the hallway.Elsie flinched, her eyes darting towards the sound, the gun wavering just a fraction. It was enough. That tiny flicker of hesitation was all it took.Relief, so sudden and powerful it almost buckled my knees, flooded through me. The police! How? Why? It didn't matter. They

  • My Godfather is my Soulmate   81. A Violent Awakening

    Alexa's POVThe morning light filtering through Sarah's blinds felt like a punch to the eyes. My head throbbed, a dull, insistent ache behind my temples, and my mouth felt like sandpaper. The taste of last night's alcohol lingered, a bitter reminder of my desperate attempt to escape. I pushed myself up, my stomach churning, and winced as my injured leg protested.I was just starting to get my bearings, the fog of sleep and drink slowly lifting, when the quiet calm of Sarah's apartment shattered.A loud bang echoed through the apartment, followed by shouts from the living room. My heart leaped into my throat. What was happening? Sarah had gone to work, she should be safe.Before I could even swing my legs off the sofa, the door to the bedroom was flung open. Standing there, her eyes blazing with a terrifying, raw fury, was Elsie. She looked wild, her hair disheveled, her clothes disarrayed. Her gaze landed on me, and her face contorted with pure hatred. If looking at someone could kil

  • My Godfather is my Soulmate   80. A Costly Choice

    Don Antonio's POVThe morning light filtering through the study windows felt cold and unwelcoming. I hadn't slept, not really. My mind had been replaying Alexa's troubled face, her whispered confession about her mother's plea. I knew this choice weighed heavily on her. I knew the conflict she felt.Xavier was there, as always, quiet and efficient, bringing me coffee. He probably sensed my mood. After a restless night, I had hoped she would come to me, ready to affirm her choice, ready to fight by my side.But she didn't.Instead, a call came through from Sarah. I answered, bracing myself."Don Antonio," Sarah's voice was tight, sounding a mix of worried and apologetic. "Alexa... she's here. She came to my place last night."My jaw clenched. Here. Not with me."And her decision?" I asked, my voice flat, already knowing the answer.A pause. "She... she needs time, Don Antonio. She's really struggling. She drank a lot last night. She just needed to escape."Escape. The word hit me like a

  • My Godfather is my Soulmate   79. A Difficult Dawn

    Alexa's POVDon Antonio's words, "You have to choose," echoed in my head all night. Sleep was impossible. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw my mother's worried face next to Don Antonio's firm, sorrowful gaze. The choice felt impossible, like being asked to cut off a part of myself.I tossed and turned in the big, soft bed. One moment, I felt a burning desire for revenge, a fierce need to see my father lose everything he cherished, just as he had made me lose everything. The next, a cold dread would wash over me at the thought of hurting my mother, of stepping deeper into a world of violence that felt so wrong, so heavy.The villa was silent, but my mind was screaming. Justice or peace? Fight or run? Love for Don Antonio, who was offering me a way to reclaim my strength, or love for my mother, who just wanted me safe and far away from all this darkness?As the first hint of grey light appeared outside the window, I knew I couldn't make this decision alone. I needed to talk to someone
