CATALINA'S PERSPECTIVE

It began with breakfast.

A seat across from me. His sleeves still rolled up from coffee being poured. No words, not at first. Just a fork scraping against his plate, the steady sound of his chewing, and the weight of his gaze flicking toward me when he thought I wouldn’t notice.

He never used to eat with me.

Now, if his morning wasn’t suffocated with meetings or bloodshed, he stayed.

He took his coffee the way I memorized it, black, two sugars, and I started making it before he even entered the room. I didn’t say a word. I simply placed the cup by his side, my fingers brushing the handle, then returned to my chair like the obedient wife I played.

But he noticed.

That was enough.

And when he walked me to the car one morning, I made sure to lean in and press a kiss on the corner of his mouth. Not rushed. Not flirty. Just soft. Familiar. Like it had always been ours.

He didn’t speak

  • My Mafia Husband Thought, I Was Innocent    Turning Libreria Fioretta as her Head Quarters

    I didn’t wear black. I didn’t bother with heels or silk or anything that whispered Mrs. Lucchese in stitched elegance. Just jeans. A white shirt. Hair tied low. Something no don’s wife would ever be caught dead in, plain, ordinary, forgettable. Perfect. The luggage was already by the door. I packed before I ever brought him that soup. Before the tears. Before the whisper of goodbye that never left my lips. I glanced at my hands once. No rings today. Not even the wedding band. Then I walked. Calm, steady, delicate steps across the marble. The house was still asleep, or at least pretending to be. But I knew he was watching. Upstairs. Curtains slightly parted. His figure behind the glass like a ghost. I never looked back. That would ruin it. I told him I needed space. I told him

  • My Mafia Husband Thought, I Was Innocent    The Space Needed To Tighten Her Grip

    CATALINA'S PERSPECTIVE LUCCHESE ESTATE I didn’t rush. I never do. Especially not when I know he’s breaking inside. The bathwater had gone cold before I stood. I made sure every trace of salt on my cheeks was rinsed off, the staged sobs, the tremble, the curled-up silence by the tub, washed clean, at least to the eye. But the weight of it? That had to stay. He needed to see it. I changed into something soft. A thin robe, warm socks. Not enough to be sultry, not enough to be dramatic. Just enough to look fragile. Just enough to make him think I was holding myself together by a thread. Then, I made him soup. It wasn’t poisoned. Not even drugged. It was warm, full of flavor, just the way he liked it. That was the point. I carried it with a mug of coffee, black, bitter, the way he took it when he couldn’t sleep from overthinking. I knocked once. No answer. I turned the kno

  • My Mafia Husband Thought, I Was Innocent    He's Aiming for Both

    DANTE'S PERSPECTIVE LUCCHESE ESTATE - HOME OFFICE I shouldn’t have said her name. But I did. La Rosa Nera. It came out raw, tangled in a groan, spilled from my lips like a fucking confession. And Catalina, my wife, my silent, soft little wife, heard it. Took it. Let me take her like a goddamn madman, and didn’t flinch. But now? Now I see her curled up near the tub, the door half-open like a trap. She’s crying. Not trembling from pain. Not crying out from the bruises I left on her hips or the way I used her like she wasn’t her own. No, she’s breaking. And it’s not the kind of break that comes with noise. It’s the kind that shatters something delicate. Something I never thought I’d see. Catalina never cries. She never asks. Never demands. She’s just... there. Always fucking there. Obedient. Warm.

  • My Mafia Husband Thought, I Was Innocent    La Rosa Nera's win, Was Hers too

    CATALINA'S PERSPECTIVE LUCCHESE ESTATE I sat there, still warm from his touch, my thighs trembling as the last of him slipped from me. The scent of sex lingered thick in the air, but I didn’t move, not at first. I waited, waited until I heard his breath catch, the way it always did when guilt began to creep through his bloodstream like venom. Then I sat up slowly, my muscles sore, my body raw, not from pain, but from the way he gripped something he thought he couldn't have. I cupped his face, gently, reverently, as if he hadn’t just used me as a vessel for his confusion. I smiled. A smile meant for me. Not him. He didn’t even see it, didn’t realize that behind the curve of my lips was triumph. Behind my wide, innocent eyes was a wildfire. Dante Lucchese, my husband, my captor, my obsession, was now d

  • My Mafia Husband Thought, I Was Innocent    He's Losing Control

    DANTE’S PERSPECTIVE LUCCHESE ESTATE – AFTER THE PRIVATE GATHERING She’s fucking draped over him. And I can’t stop watching. Can’t fucking breathe. Crimson red. That goddamn veil. That body. That silence. Every click of her heel on marble sounded like a gunshot in my skull. She moved like she was sculpted to command. Measured, slow, deliberate, every step screaming ownership. And the bastard she chose to sit on, Nico fucking Mareni, had his hands on her like he earned the right to breathe her in. His lips brushed her neck. I should’ve snapped his fucking jaw right there. But I didn’t. I stood there. Watching. Burning. The world narrowed to her silhouette and that fucking name, La Rosa Nera. A name that used to mean fire, fear, death. A title no man dared speak too loud. Now it belongs to a woman. Her. And the chaos she carries

  • My Mafia Husband Thought, I Was Innocent    He's Obsessed with the Other Me

    CATALINA'S PERSPECTIVE AS - LA ROSA NERA His knuckles were white. I noticed it the moment his hand curled into a fist on the table, tight, trembling at the edge. No one else probably saw it. But I did. Every time Nico’s fingers drew idle, thoughtless circles across the fabric of my dress, my waist, my stomach, Dante’s gaze narrowed. His jaw clenched. His nostrils flared like a bull just before the kill. And I knew. La Rosa Nera isn’t just a name to him anymore. She’s becoming an obsession. He doesn’t realize it yet. But I do. Because I’ve seen that look in his eyes before, when he stands over bloodied men asking for names, when he owns the room without ever raising his voice. When something dares to exist beyond his control. He craves power. Always has. And now, it’s wearing heels, silk gloves, and crimson. It’s sitting on a
