Alessandro’s POV

  • My Lover is a Mafia Boss   Chapter 100: Always ( The end- Epilogue)

    Five Years Later The world moved on. News cycles changed. Governments rose and fell. Technology advanced faster than anyone could have imagined. But there was one thing the world would never know. How close it had come... to losing itself. Project Lazarus became nothing more than a heavily redacted classified incident buried beneath decades of secrecy. The names Serena, Victor De Luca, The Sanctum, and The Heart slowly disappeared from history. Only three people still carried those memories. Alessandro. Eliara. Matteo. And they intended to keep it that way. Eliara's POV "Mommy! Daddy's cheating!" Napangiti ako habang nakatayo sa veranda ng maliit naming bahay sa Amalfi Coast. "He's letting Luca win!" reklamo ng isang maliit na boses. Napailing ako. "That's because your father has always had a soft heart." Mula sa hardin, tumawa si Alessandro. "I heard that!" Luca, our four-year-old son, tumakbo papunta sa akin habang hawak ang maliit niyang

    Eliara's POVThe moment Alessandro and I stepped onto the bridge of light......the world disappeared.No explosions.No collapsing island.No Heart.No Lazarus.Only...silence.A warm breeze brushed against my skin.Slowly, I opened my eyes.We were standing in a field of white lilies beneath a sky filled with stars—even though it felt like sunrise."Nasaan tayo?"My voice echoed gently.Alessandro stood beside me, still holding my hand."I don't know..."He looked around."...pero parang wala na tayo sa Lazarus."Ahead of us stood a single wooden door.Nothing else.Just one door.Floating in the middle of an endless field.As we approached it...it opened by itself.The HeartInside the doorway...there was no monster.No machine.Only a young child.Perhaps ten years old.Wearing plain white clothes.The child smiled."Welcome."Its voice was the same ancient voice that had echoed throughout Lazarus.But now...it sounded gentle."I've been waiting."Alessandro's POV"You're..."

    Eliara's POVThe bridge of light stretched across the abyss.Every step it invited me to take felt... inevitable.The Heart waited in complete silence.Not threatening.Not impatient.Simply waiting.Like it had been waiting for me all my life.Behind me, the entire island groaned as metal twisted and concrete split apart.WARNING: STRUCTURAL FAILURETOTAL COLLAPSE: 08:43Eight minutes.Eight minutes before Lazarus disappeared beneath the sea.And with it...the future of humanity.Alessandro's POV"No."I tightened my grip around Eliara's hand.She looked at me with tears in her eyes."If I don't go...""The Heart will finish synchronizing.""It won't.""I'll stop it."She smiled sadly."You can't stop something that has existed longer than either of us.""I don't care.""I'll destroy it."She slowly placed her hand on my cheek."You've always tried to save me.""...Please.""Let me save everyone."I shook my head."No."My voice cracked."I spent years fighting to bring you back.""

  • My Lover is a Mafia Boss   Chapter 97: The Final War

    Alessandro's POVThe Heart had awakened.Its colossal form floated above the abyss beneath Lazarus, woven from countless strands of light that pulsed like veins. Millions of whispers echoed through the chamber, overlapping into one impossible voice."Become one."The pressure in the air became unbearable.The soldiers around Victor slowly lowered their weapons.One by one.As if hypnotized.Their eyes turned white."They're being synchronized!" Matteo shouted.Victor smiled."You still don't understand."He slowly spread his arms."This is evolution."Eliara's POVI felt it too.A voice inside my mind.Not forcing me...Calling me.It showed me memories that weren't mine.A mother embracing her child.A soldier dying to protect a stranger.A doctor refusing to leave her patients during a plague.Then...War.Genocide.Betrayal.Hatred.Every beautiful moment...Followed by another tragedy."Humanity repeats itself."The Heart whispered."Let me end the cycle."I covered my ears."Stop

    Alessandro's POVThe metallic heartbeat echoed through the chamber.THUMP...THUMP...THUMP...The entire island trembled as dust rained from the ceiling. Cracks spread across the glass floor beneath the Lazarus Core.Everyone froze.Even Victor.Even Serena.Even Eve.Matteo's hands flew across the holographic console, desperately pulling up whatever remained in Lazarus' classified archives.His face slowly turned pale."...No."I looked at him."What is it?"He swallowed hard."We misunderstood everything."Eliara's POV"What do you mean?"Matteo projected a series of blueprints into the air.At first, they looked like ordinary facility schematics.Then he zoomed out.Farther.Farther.Until the truth became impossible to ignore.Project Lazarus wasn't a laboratory.It wasn't even a bunker.It was one massive machine.The entire island...was the machine.Every tunnel.Every reactor.Every neural conduit.Every satellite uplink.Everything pointed toward one underground chamber.At

    Alessandro's POVThe chamber exploded into chaos.BANG! BANG! BANG!Victor's soldiers opened fire from every platform surrounding the Lazarus Core."TAKE COVER!" sigaw ko habang hinihila si Eliara pababa sa likod ng isang sirang console.Concrete shattered.Glass rained from above.The neural conduits around Eve's chamber flickered violently.Across every monitor...SERENA ASCENSION: 53%"She's halfway there!" sigaw ni Matteo habang pinapaputukan ang dalawang sundalong papalapit."If she reaches one hundred percent, Eve won't be able to stop her!"I clenched my jaw.Then this ends here.Eliara's POVHumarap ako sa hologram ni Serena.She wasn't smiling anymore.She simply watched.Parang wala siyang pakialam sa putukan sa paligid.As if she already knew the ending."Why are you doing this?" sigaw ko."You don't have to destroy everything!"Serena's hologram slowly turned toward me."You still don't understand."Her voice was calm.Almost... tired."I am not destroying humanity.""I am

    [Alessandro’s POV]The night air bit cold against my skin as I drove down the coastal road.Walang ibang ilaw kundi ‘yong headlights ng kotse at mga kumikislap na bituin sa malayo.Sa kamay ko, mahigpit kong hawak ang litrato — ‘yong larawan ni Eliara na may halong takot at galit sa dibdib ko.Some

    [Eliara’s POV]Una kong napansin ang pagbabago sa hangin.Tahimik pa rin ang paligid, pero may kakaibang lamig na dumampi sa balat ko—parang may matang nakamasid kahit wala namang tao.I told myself it was nothing.Pagod lang siguro. Overthinking.Pero habang naglalakad ako papunta sa maliit naming

    “Eliara, are you even listening?”Napabalik ako sa realidad nang marinig ko ‘yung boses ni Lianne, officemate ko at best friend na rin. Nasa harap kami ng table sa café malapit sa office — pero sa totoo lang, kanina pa lumilipad utak ko.“Ha? Sorry, anong sabi mo?”She sighed, rolling her eyes. “Yo

    Akala ko simpleng gabi lang ‘yon — another corporate event I had to attend for work. Fake smiles, expensive wine, and people pretending they actually cared about business when all they really wanted was power.I hated these parties. Pero wala akong choice.
