Aurora's POV

I kept mute the entire drive to the hospital. The air was heavy, suffocating. Unlike the usual taunts from the twins, there was only silence—a dangerous, unsettling silence. One wrong move and I had no doubt a bullet plugged into me would be my fate.

The car rolled to a stop in front of the hospital, and my breath hitched at the sight before me.

Doctors, nurses, staff—everyone—stood outside, heads bowed, bodies stiff with fear.

My stomach twisted into a knot as I spotted the doctor

  • OWNED BY THE MAFIA TWINS   CHAPTER 153

    Aurora's POV The underworld gathered at night. Not by invitation — by gravity. Word had moved faster than law, faster than rumor, faster than denial. Ports whispered it. Syndicates recalculated. Brokers erased contacts and burned ledgers in its wake. Viktor Hale was dead. The cages were gone. The sea had changed hands. They came to see if it was true. They came to see what replaced him. They came to see me. The Cavarallo estate terrace overlooked the harbor he once controlled — black water veined with gold from anchored ships and distant city light. Tonight every vessel rode silent, as if even the tide understood this was a night of accounting. Men who ruled shadows stood along the stone balustrade: smugglers, arms brokers, port lords, information dealers. Power that never appears in daylight. All watching. All measuring. I stepped onto the terrace with Nestore and Nevio beside me. The murmurs died instantly. I wore black. No jewels, no crown — only a thin line of silver at my

  • OWNED BY THE MAFIA TWINS   CHAPTER 152

    Aurora's POV By midday, the cages were gone.Not hidden. Not relocated. Gone.Rail cars stood open and empty across miles of track, doors yawning toward a sky bright with full daylight. Medical teams moved through the yard in organized lines — triaging, wrapping, lifting, cataloging names where names still existed and assigning them where they didn't. Children sat in blankets along the cleared platforms, blinking into sunlight like something emerging from underground. Some cried, some clung to rescuers, some stared at nothing.All alive.I stood on the central loading rise and watched it unfold. Smoke still drifted from distant fires — the cannery and depot now ash on the horizon, Hale's dock burning in memory and rumor. Here, the last major artery of his trade lay severed steel and open locks.It should have felt like victory. Instead it felt quiet. Heavy. Real.Because absence has weight.Nevio came up beside me first, blood streaking his sleeve, movements loose now — adrenaline eb

  • OWNED BY THE MAFIA TWINS   CHAPTER 151

    Aurora's POV The rail yard was awake before sunrise.Floodlights burned across miles of track and rusted freight cars. Engines idled, metal clanged, men shouted over grinding machinery as handlers tried to force evacuation under fire.And everywhere — cages. Stacked, bolted, loaded. Dozens.My vision tunneled the moment I saw them. Children packed inside steel transport crates like livestock waiting shipments. Some crying, some silent, some too still.Rage didn't spike. It settled. Cold. Perfect. I moved through it.My team advanced along the east service lane under heavy return fire from guards on catwalks and rail platforms. Bullets sparked off steel beams, tore splinters from freight siding."Snipers left the gantry!"I dropped to one knee, sighting up through the crossbeams. Two silhouettes. Wind compensation. Breath. Trigger. First fell and the Second tried to duck — too slow. He followed."Advance!"We surged forward between tracks. Handlers were already forcing cages toward op

    Nevio's POV War is cleanest at the moment of ignition. Before screams, before blood smell thickens the air, before survivors start making choices they can't undo. Right now it is still math.Three targets. Three strike teams. Three simultaneous collapses of what remained of Hale's trade.I stood over the operations table while coordinates, satellite pulls, and route overlays glowed across the glass surface. Aurora leaned opposite me, palms braced on the edge, eyes moving across the three red-marked sites with predatory focus. Cannery. Trucking depot. Rail yard.Nestore entered, shrugging into a tactical jacket, radio already clipped to his collar. "Teams in position. Cannery ready. Rail yard staged. Depot convoy ten minutes out."I glanced at Aurora. "Your call."She traced the three points once more. "No survivors in the chain of trade. Any children found — priority extraction over combat.""Always," Nestore said."Then go."I went to the cannery. Nestore took the depot. Aurora took

  • OWNED BY THE MAFIA TWINS   CHAPTER 149

    Aurora's POV By dawn, the underworld knew.It moved the way rot spreads through wood — silent, fast, irreversible. Viktor Hale was dead. Not missing, not arrested, not vanished. Dead. Killed on his own dock, on his knees, by a woman.Rumor sharpened the details with every retelling, but the core never changed: the cages had lost their master. And something worse had taken his place.I stood in the eastern control tower as the sun bled up over the water, turning oil-slick waves into molten copper. Below, men worked through the night under Cavarallo command — inventory seizures, record extractions, fuel lines cut to trafficking vessels, holding cells forced open and emptied. Smoke already drifted from the far warehouses.Nestore appeared quietly behind me. I felt him before I heard him."You haven't slept," he said."No."He stopped beside me, gaze sweeping the docks. "They're spreading it. Fast.""I want them to." I turned toward him. "Predators only change routes when they see anothe

  • OWNED BY THE MAFIA TWINS   CHAPTER 148

    Nestore's POVThe sea closed over Viktor Hale like he had never existed. No splash lingered. No ripple remained. Just black water under dock lights and the faint metallic scent of blood in salt air.Aurora stood at the edge, knife hanging loose, shoulders squared, breathing steady. Hale's blood streaked her forearm, her collarbone, the front of her throat where his blade had cut earlier. She looked carved from war.Nevio and I stayed close without touching her. Not because we didn't want to — but because something had shifted in the space around her. A gravity that no longer invited shelter. It commanded it.Behind us, the compound had gone silent. Hale's remaining men weren't fighting. They were staring — some at the water, most at her. They had just watched the man who owned them die on his knees, and the one who killed him still stood. That kind of moment rewrites loyalty faster than any threat.I turned toward them. "Drop weapons." No shout, no force. Just a fact.Metal hit concre

    Aurora's POV My body jerked awake, with a splitting headache, a terribly aching body, and blinding lights."Mr. Cavarallo," The steady voice of a man filtered through my ears."Quit the formalities, I need you to do everything you can to make sure she doesn't die," One of the men who...My head sp

Nestore asked, stepping beside me."Diego was the 6th one, we'll let the little girl deal with him herself," I said, lifting the jaws of the third man on his knees."Tell me the truth and I'll spare you the first punch, who brought the idea up?"
