Leena’s POV

The battlefield was silent except for the soft rustle of the wind. I stood in the center, my fists clenched so tightly that my nails bit into my palms. My body ached from the earlier fight, a dull pain radiating from my ribs, but I couldn’t afford to falter. Across from me stood Alpha Alvin, his sharp features carved with confidence, his posture relaxed as though this was nothing but a game to him. He circled me like a predator, his smirk sending chills down my spine.

“Why don’t you just give up, Leena?” he taunted, his voice smooth yet laced with arrogance. “You know I’ll win. Don’t make me hurt you more than I already have to.”

I glared at him, my breathing labored but my resolve unbroken. “Don’t be so cocky, Alvin,” I spat, wiping the sweat from my brow. “I might be smaller than you, but that doesn’t mean I’m weaker. And I’ll never submit to this marriage!”

His smirk deepened, and in an instant, he lunged forward. I barely had time to dodge, his fist grazing past my arm

    It had been weighing on Cooper's mind for days—ever since those men left the bakery. He had put on a brave face, masking the storm of unease that stirred beneath the surface. Outwardly, he maintained his usual calm demeanor, his posture relaxed, his voice steady, and his smile easy—but his eyes betrayed him. They darted often to the side, like a man waiting for something to pounce. He hadn’t spoken a word about the strange encounter, especially not in front of Kiara or the kids. He didn’t want to spook them.But truth be told, something was wrong.He remembered vividly—one of the men had an arrogance about him, an audacity that went beyond mere disrespect. He didn’t recognize the face, and more disturbingly, he didn’t recognize the name either. Jimmy. One of the other men had called him that. Jimmy.Cooper had run the gang for nearly a decade. He knew every name, every face, every street whisper. But never once had he heard of a Jimmy in his ranks.

    Kira’s heart pounded as the group of boys cornered her near the flour sacks in the back of her bakery. Her voice trembled as she shouted, “Leave me alone!” but they only laughed, their eyes filled with malice, inching closer like predators surrounding prey.Fear gripped her throat. Her hands trembled, one gripping a rolling pin behind her back—not that it would do much. One of the boys reached out, brushing a lock of her hair away from her face.“Don't touch me!” she cried, flinching.Then, the door slammed open.“Hey!” Cooper’s voice rang loud and clear through the space, slicing through the tension like a blade.The boys turned.Kira gasped.There he was—Cooper. Quiet, unassuming Cooper, with his tousled dark hair and eyes that always seemed to avoid confrontation, now standing tall and furious at the entrance to her bakery. His jaw was clenched, his fists balled tightly at his sides. It was the first time she’d seen his soft eyes look so... dangerous.The room shifted instantly.“W

    Kira thought everything was going to be fine. She had convinced herself that things would finally settle down. Even when she got home that evening and saw her father and mother waiting for her, she kept her hope alive. She approached them with cautious optimism, trying to suppress the sinking feeling in her stomach."Maybe they've sorted things out," she muttered to herself as she entered the living room. She had already given them all the money she had saved—her emergency fund, her college tuition, everything. What more could they possibly want?Her mother stood awkwardly in the corner, avoiding eye contact, while her stepfather, James, sat on the couch with an eerie calmness that instantly put her on edge. "We just came to check up on you," he said with a slick grin. But his eyes betrayed him—they darted around the room, restless, calculating.Kira forced a smile. "I don't have any more money. I gave you everything.""Don't worry," James said, rising from the couch with a sly chuckl

    The worst mistake Kira had ever made was trusting her stepfather. She should’ve known better. She should’ve never told him about her investor, the one person who had been helping her build her bakery dream from scratch—someone who believed in her talent enough to invest not just money, but also hope. Hope she was now watching shatter into pieces.Mr. Bentley, in his desperation, had gone and done the unthinkable. He had told those thugs—the mafia men who kidnapped him—that Kira was rich. That she had a powerful backer. That her investor could pay all the debt they owed. What he didn’t know was that the man who ordered his kidnapping, the same ruthless mafia lord he feared, was none other than Kira’s own investor. The plot was thicker than he imagined.When Mr. Bentley made the foolish statement, the two men holding him laughed cruelly, their voices echoing off the damp, mildew-infested basement walls. One of them grinned, bloodstains painting his teeth crimson. "What an idiot," he sai

    When Kira saw them, she was beyond pissed. Her jaw clenched so tightly she could hear the faint creak of her own teeth grinding. Her eyes were blazing, hands clenched into fists as she stormed into the living room. The sight of her mother and stepfather sitting side by side, whispering nervously, did nothing to soothe her rage. She was done being polite. Done playing the obedient daughter."What the hell is going on?" she demanded, her voice sharp and trembling with fury.Her stepfather flinched, but her mother tried to speak first. "Kira, please, just listen—""No! Not this time, Mama. I want the truth. And don't even think of sugarcoating it. I just found out about your new debt. To a Mafia Lord, of all people! Are you insane?!"Her voice cracked at the end, not from weakness, but from the overwhelming frustration boiling within her. Her chest heaved, trying to contain the storm that had been building since she stumbled upon the truth.Her stepfather, Mr. Bentley, stood and tried to

    Kira’s eyes widened, her breath catching in her throat the moment she looked up from the counter and saw them—her mother and the man she reluctantly called "Dad." A name she had never willingly spoken until today. For years, she refused to acknowledge him. Bentley. Her mother’s second husband. Her stepfather. A man who tried to play a role he didn’t earn. But now, the word had slipped from her lips without warning. It wasn’t out of love. It was shock. Raw, bone-deep shock.“Mom? Dad? What... What are you doing here? How did you even know I work here?” Her voice trembled, betraying her guarded demeanor.Bentley’s face lit up with uncharacteristic joy, his eyes misting with something she never thought she’d see—vulnerability. “Kira,” he said, a soft chuckle escaping his lips, “you finally called me 'Dad.' I’ve waited years to hear that from you.”She looked away, her jaw clenching. “Don’t make it into something it’s not.”Bentley stepped forward, eyes glinting. “But it means something.
