Aurora's POV

I swallowed hard as I stared at their faces. Battered, wounded and something akin to death.

I wasn't supposed to, whether they lived or died was not supposed to be any of my concern, but from the corner of the room I stood.

I could see the hurt in their eyes, and the desperate need to find whoever it was they were looking for, and from what I could gather...a sister, a lover.

It was nothing but pity even if I wasn't supposed to, even if I as supposed to hate everything related to

  • 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

  • OWNED BY THE MAFIA TWINS   CHAPTER 147

    Aurora's POV Viktor Hale knelt at the edge of his own empire.Blood ran down his side in thick steady sheets, dripping off the dock into black water that swallowed it without ripple. Floodlights burned overhead. Smoke drifted. The last extraction boats had vanished into the channel.The girls were gone. Safe. Which meant nothing remained between him and consequence.He looked smaller on his knees — not physically, but structurally, like something built on lies finally forced to carry its own weight. His eyes were still clear, though. Still sharp. Still calculating even now.I held the knife loosely at my side. Nevio's blade, warm from his hand, warm from Hale's blood. Behind me I felt them — Nestore and Nevio, close enough their heat brushed my back, but neither touching, neither speaking. They understood. This was mine.Hale's gaze stayed on my face. "Three against one. Inevitable outcome. No moral triumph here."I stepped closer. "There were never three." I stopped directly in fron
