DANTE'S PERSPECTIVE

I stepped out of the bathroom.

Steam clung to my skin. The towel hung low on my hips, water still dripping down my back.

She was lying exactly where I left her.

Face soft. Legs parted. The sheets tangled around her like ribbons.

Like nothing happened.

Like I hadn’t just fucked every trace of another man’s name off her skin.

But something itched in my head, because for a second, I thought I saw it.

A smile.

Not the gentle kind. Not relief. Not affection.

No.

It looked like satisfaction.

It looked like she liked it.

I blinked once. Gone.

Maybe the steam got to me. Maybe I was seeing things.

I dried off, tossed the towel onto the bed without looking at her again.

I didn’t feel guilty. Not even a little.

She was mine.

That mess? The bruises. The come between her thighs. The tremble in her legs.

  • My Mafia Husband Thought, I Was Innocent    The Final Chapter

    CATALINA’S PERSPECTIVELUCCHESE ESTATE, VERONA – Five Years After the AshesLate-afternoon sunlight pours over the gardens in a thick, honey-gold spill, the kind of light Italy hoards for itself like a jealous lover. Everything gleams. Everything looks innocent.I know better than to trust beautiful things.Alejandro, six years old, long-limbed and loud, charges across the lower lawn with a wooden sword twice his size. The kid swings like a berserker. The two Caucasian shepherds, Bear and Ghost, lumber along beside him, pretending to cower even though either of them could flatten him with one paw.In my arms, Sofia kicks impatiently. Two years old, black hair, green eyes, temper measurable only in Richter scale units.“Down, Mamá. Sword!” she demands, stabbing her tiny fist downward.“No swords until you’re four,” I say, kissing the top of her head. “Even tyrants need limits.”She gives me the same betrayed

    CATALINA’S PERSPECTIVE LUCCHESE MANSION, VERONA – The First Days of ForeverI didn’t put Alejandro down for seventy-two hours straight.Not once.I was terrified that if I blinked, the lie would reassert itself and he would turn to ash in my arms.Dante never tried to reason with me. He simply became whatever I needed: pillow, table, shadow. He slept on the floor beside the rocking chair, woke every time Alejandro stirred, and handed me water or a clean blanket without being asked.He understood: For eleven months I had carried the certainty that my son was dead the moment he left my body. My arms had to learn, hour by hour, that he had never died at all.~~~~~~~Night OneI sat in the nursery rocker until the sky turned pale.I studied every detail of the living, breathing proof that everything I believed was a lie.The slope of his nose, Dante

  • My Mafia Husband Thought, I Was Innocent    Her Greatest Surprise

    CATALINA’S PERSPECTIVE VORONIN’S FORTRESS, CRIMEA – Dawn of Departure The convoy is already loaded. The sky is the color of wet ash. Voronin waits on the steps, coat collar turned up against the wind, cigarette glowing like a small red wound. I walk up to him alone. Dante hangs back by the car, arms crossed, watching. Voronin offers the half-smoked cigarette. I take it, inhale once, hand it back. “You own more than half of Russia now,” I say quietly. “From Kaliningrad to Vladivostok, pipelines, ports, half the aluminum plants, most of the black-market arms routes. Everything Gavriil bled for is yours.” He exhales smoke through his nose, eyes on the horizon. “I am aware.” I step closer. “Look at me.” He does. My voice is soft, but it carries th

  • My Mafia Husband Thought, I Was Innocent    The Thirty-One Days of Erasure

    CATALINA’S PERSPECTIVE THE BLACK SEA COAST We did not go home. Not yet. There was still meat on the bones, and I intended to strip them clean. For thirty-one days the entire coast from Anapa to Batumi became a silent, efficient slaughterhouse of memory. ~~~~~~~ Week One – The Purge We hunted the way fire hunts oxygen. Voronin’s kill teams, fifty men, no insignia, no mercy, moved in four-man cells. Night-vision goggles. Suppressed rifles. Black vans with false plates. They took captains in their sleep. They took accountants in five-star hotel bathrooms. They took pilots on the tarmac before engines could spool. Some tried to run south through Turkey. We had people waiting at every mountain pass. Some tried to buy their lives with information. We took the inf

  • My Mafia Husband Thought, I Was Innocent    Gavriil's Death

    CATALINA’S PERSPECTIVE FIOLENT FORTRESS – DawnThe sky is the color of dried blood when the last tower falls.I stand on the hood of the lead Tigr, wind whipping my hair, and watch the fortress die.One by one, the remaining walls fold inward. Roofs collapse with roars that shake the cliff. The sea below drinks the smoke.Gavriil is on his knees in front of me, wrists and ankles chained to a tow hook bolted to the bumper.He is barefoot, shirt torn open, the black-gold ring I once wore now hanging from a chain around his own neck like a noose.His face is streaked with soot and blood, but his eyes, those winter eyes, are still sharp.Still trying to own me.I crouch so we’re eye-level.“Look,” I say softly.He refuses.I grab his hair, force his head up.“Look at what you built, Gavriil. Look at it die.”A final explosion ripples through t

  • My Mafia Husband Thought, I Was Innocent    Gavriil's Captivity

    CATALINA’S PERSPECTIVE FIOLENT FORTRESS – 04:21 a.m. onwardThe courtyard is a crematorium.White phosphorus drips from the sky like molten tears. Bodies curl like burnt paper. The air itself feels thick enough to chew.I walk through it untouched.Flames kiss the edges of my fatigues and retreat, as if even fire knows better than to claim me tonight.Dante is a shadow at my left, rifle raised, eyes scanning every corner. Cynthia ghosts at my right, muzzle never wavering. Nikolai and Voronin sweep the flanks. Malcolm is already wiring the final charges that will collapse the rest of the building on top of whatever is left of this place.We descend the shattered staircase in single file.Marble crunches beneath my boots like broken teeth.Emergency lights strobe red across walls painted with blood and soot.I know this corridor the way a condemned woman knows
