Danika stepped into the main office, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor. The place was bigger than she expected—busy, organized, and slightly intimidating.

She approached the front desk, offering a polite smile. “Hi, I’m Danika Paige. I was asked to report here today.”

The receptionist nodded and made a quick call before looking back at her. “You’re expected. Please head to the Administrative Department. Someone will attend to you there.”

“Thank you,” Danika replied, adju

  • One Night with the Mafia king... My Ex's Younger brother   Chapter 53: You left me

    Dante's pov Dante stands frozen in the doorway his eyes locked on a scene that makes his blood boil so hot he feels like he might explode. Right there in the center of the Persian rug, his brother Lorenzo has his hands all over Danika. Not just a polite touch, but a possessive, filthy grip. Lorenzo’s large hand is cupping Danika’s ass, his fingers digging deep into the soft flesh through her dress, pulling her hips flush against his own. Dante can see the way Lorenzo’s thumb is rubbing dangerously close to the crease of her thigh, a motion that screams intimacy and ownership. Dante’s fists clench at his sides, his knuckles turning white as the urge to rush over and smash his brother’s face in surges through him. He wants to tear Lorenzo’s hands off her, to pummel him until he bleeds for daring to touch the woman Dante has been fucking senseless for months. The rage is a living thing inside him, a beast clawing at his throat. But then, a cold, calculated thought slithers into his

  • One Night with the Mafia king... My Ex's Younger brother   Chapter 52: Shattered Masquerade

    The air in the room feels heavy, thick with the scent of expensive cologne and the dust of old money. Danika stands rigid beside Mr. Ethan, her fingers gripping the leather strap of her bag so tightly the knuckles turn white. The name hangs in the air like a guillotine blade—De Belladonna. It slices through the memory of the boy she thought she knew, the man she let inside her body and heart. Lorenzo. A De Belladonna. The realization hits her gut with the force of a physical blow, stealing the air from her lungs. He hadn’t just omitted the truth; he had constructed an entire reality of lies, brick by lying brick, while she poured her soul out to him. The resemblance is undeniable now that she looks—the sharp, aristocratic jawline, the cold, obsidian eyes, the way they hold themselves with an innate sense of ownership. They are brothers. The thought makes her skin crawl. Dante and Lorenzo, bound by blood and deceit. She feels sick, a wave of nausea rolling through her stomach as th

  • One Night with the Mafia king... My Ex's Younger brother   Chapter 51: Echoes of obsidian

    The pale gray light of dawn filters through the sheer curtains, casting long, muted stripes across the bedroom floor. Danika’s eyes flutter open, the heavy haze of sleep clinging to her limbs. She stretches, the sheets sliding down her naked torso, exposing the heavy curve of her breasts and the flat plane of her stomach. The cool morning air raises goosebumps on her skin, tightening her nipples into hard, sensitive peaks. She glances at the clock; it is far too early, but the anticipation buzzing beneath her skin keeps her from lying back down. Mr. Ethan is coming. She swings her legs out of bed, her feet touching the cold hardwood. Standing before the full-length mirror, she runs her hands over her hips, smoothing down the imaginary creases in her skin. She selects a pencil skirt that hugs her ass tight enough to outline the cheeks and a silk blouse that clings to her chest. After dressing, she pads softly into the living room. Catherine is already there, perched on the edge o

  • One Night with the Mafia king... My Ex's Younger brother   Chapter 50 ~ The private meeting

    Lorenzo. He looks nothing like the boy Danika remembers. He has filled out, the sharp angles of his face hardened by time and discipline. His suit is tailored to perfection, hugging thick thighs and a chest that strains against the crisp white fabric. A dusting of grey peppers his temples, giving him a look of mature authority that makes Danika’s knees threaten to buckle. His eyes, dark and piercing, sweep the room before locking onto hers. The shock hits him like a physical blow. His jaw goes slack, the confident smirk he wore evaporating instantly. His hand, halfway to adjusting his cuff, drops to his side. Danika’s grip on the folders tightens until her knuckles turn white, the plastic edges digging painfully into her palms. She cannot breathe. The scent of him—sandalwood and expensive tobacco, mixed with the faint, ghostly smell of rain—invades her senses, dragging up memories she has buried for years. "Danika?" Lorenzo breathes, his voice a rough rumble that scrapes again

  • One Night with the Mafia king... My Ex's Younger brother   Chapter 49: Lorenzo

    Danika pov Since the day Dante gave Emily his blood, he had disappeared completely. No calls. No messages. Nothing. I tried calling him a few times, and when he finally picked up, his voice sounded cold and distant. “I’m back in Chicago,” he said simply. “Take care of Emily and yourself.” And before I could even respond, he cut the call. I stared at my phone for a long moment after that. It wasn’t like Dante and I were in love or anything. Whatever existed between us was complicated… lust and pure sex. Most times, it felt like he only wanted me for sex, nothing more. But still… I couldn’t stop feeling guilty. Maybe because I never told him about Emily from the beginning. Maybe because of the look on his face when he found out. Or maybe because despite how dangerous and emotionally unavailable Dante was, he still gave his blood without hesitation to save her. Danika sighed softly, rubbing her forehead. Everything about Dante gave her a headache. Trying to push

  • One Night with the Mafia king... My Ex's Younger brother   CHAPTER 48: The Hospital

    DANTE POV Raven Hollow Hospital was unusually quiet, the kind of silence that pressed heavily against the chest. The soft beeping of machines filled Emily’s room as Danika sat beside the hospital bed, her trembling fingers wrapped tightly around her daughter’s smaller hand. The doctors had already run several tests on Emily, but the results were still pending. Every passing second felt unbearable. Danika had barely moved from the chair since they arrived. Her parents stood nearby, equally tense, though they tried to remain strong for her sake. Her mother occasionally wiped away silent tears while her father paced the room, his expression dark with worry. Outside the room, Dante leaned against the wall with Cat and Jaden beside him. None of them spoke much. Dante’s mind was elsewhere. The moment at the airport replayed endlessly in his head. “I need to go back to Raven Hollow. My daughter is there.” At first, he had thought he misheard her. Daughter. Danika had

  • One Night with the Mafia king... My Ex's Younger brother   Prologue

    The hallway stretched out before her like a funhouse mirror, the walls tilting dangerously to the left. Her heels clicked unevenly against the carpet, a syncopated rhythm that matched the thumping bass still echoing in her skull from the club. She gripped the railing, her knuckles white, trying t

    *November 17th* The low hum of the airplane filled the cabin as passengers settled into their seats, the soft murmur of voices blending with the occasional rustle of bags being tucked away. Danika sat by the window, her fingers lightly gripping the armrest as she stared outside. The runway light

  • One Night with the Mafia king... My Ex's Younger brother   Chapter 2: Hard Choice

    Danika went silent for a while. The ticking of the wall clock suddenly felt louder, filling the space between her and Cat. “No,” she finally said, her face straight, her tone firm but tired. “I know I need the job, but not this far, Cat. What do you want me to do, hmm?” Cat leaned forward, her

  • One Night with the Mafia king... My Ex's Younger brother   Chapter 1: Chicago

    A small, quiet town called Raven Hollow the kind of place where nothing ever seemed to change. The afternoon sun filtered through the kitchen window as Danika stood at the sink, sleeves rolled up, hands deep in soapy water. The scent of fried rice and peppered chicken still lingered in the air.
