Onenight with the Mafia 22
The house was silent when Maxine tucked Noah into bed. He curled beneath the blanket, his thumb brushing against his cheek, soft and sleepy-eyed. She kissed his forehead gently, whispering a promise that she’d be back soon. Just a quick check on the construction site, nothing more. Her parents were in the living room watching an old crime show, and when she told them she had to step out for a short while, they nodded without concern.Outside, the night had a sharp bite. A cold wind brushed against her as she stepped into the driveway, her jacket wrapped tightly around her. The sky was moonlit, unusually clear, and a soft hush hung in the air like an omen. As she walked toward her car, her gaze shifted to the mansion under construction across the street.That’s when she saw it—the black car.It was parked with its engine off, sleek and shadowed beneath a tree. The windows were tinted, and though she squinted, she couldn’t see anyone inside. Oddly, the car had been there before, at diff
Onenight with the Mafia 21
The sun dipped low into the horizon as Maxine stepped out of the university building, clutching her graded assignment close to her chest. A warm breeze tugged at the hem of her cotton dress, and for the first time in a while, she allowed herself a small smile. She had done well. Her professor had not only praised her work but also recommended her for a special project commissioned for a charity. It was unpaid, yes, but Maxine knew the value of exposure. Every opportunity mattered when you were trying to claw your way up from the bottom. And she was determined—determined to give Noah the life he deserved.Her phone buzzed just as she passed under the shade of a large oak tree near the university gate. Peter’s name flashed on the screen. She picked up with a curious smile, wondering what made him call at this hour.“Hey, am I disturbing you?” Peter’s voice came through, laced with the usual hint of awkwardness he always had when asking for help.“No, I just came out of my classes. What’

It was a long day at the construction site. My legs were sore, my back ached, and all I wanted was to rest. But the moment I walked through the door of my parents’ house and saw Noah running toward me, his arms flailing, eyes shining with excitement, everything else faded.“Mama!” he called out, crashing into me like a miniature tornado.I dropped my bag and knelt down to catch him in my arms, lifting him despite the ache in my shoulders. His little arms wrapped around my neck, and for a few seconds, I held on tighter than usual. No matter how tired I was, his presence made everything better.“I missed you,” he said, burying his face into my shoulder.“I missed you more, baby.”He pulled away slightly, his cheeks puffed with mock seriousness. “Can we go to the park? Please? Elijah might be there!”“Elijah, huh?” I smiled, brushing his curly hair back. “Let’s go then. But only if you promise to let me sit on the bench for at least ten minutes without dragging me through the playground.

The engine hummed beneath his fingertips like a caged beast, quiet and restrained.Damien Thomas Ledger sat in the back seat of the black Mercedes, parked discreetly beneath the veil of trees bordering the estate. He leaned back, his fingers caresses beneath his chin as he watched her.Maxine Green.Even from this distance, he could see the way the wind pulled loose strands of her hair, how she squinted in the bright sunlight as she shaded her eyes and surveyed the skeletal framework of the mansion. She looked older than the last time he'd seen her, but not in a bad way. Stronger. Sharper. Resilient.And yet something in him ached at the sight of her.The last time they’d spoken, it hadn’t really been a conversation. A single night. A mistake, she probably thought. But for him? It was the one time in a long, blood-soaked life where something had felt clean.He hadn’t meant to keep tabs on her.He’d told himself, walk away. Walk away and let her forget.But he couldn’t.It started as a
Onenight with the Mafia 18
Construction on the mansion was in full swing now.Maxine found herself visiting the site more often than she needed to—not just for work, but because she wanted to see her ideas slowly transform into walls, beams, archways, and shadows. There was something sacred about watching your vision take form. Every time she stepped onto the site, something new was standing there. And strangely, it always felt... familiar.She’d worked on many buildings over the past year—apartment renovations, office floor plans, even a library extension—but none had spoken to her soul like this one. As intimidating as its purpose and scale were, something about the space resonated with her own taste. The high ceilings, the gentle flow between rooms, the hidden doors... She would never admit it out loud, but in some strange way, it felt like her house.One evening, as she wandered through what would become the central hallway, a thought struck her with such force that she froze mid-step.One day... I want to
Onenight with the Mafia 17
Maxine hadn’t expected her schedule to shift so suddenly, but with half the staff either quitting or conveniently falling “sick,” she found herself filling more roles than ever at Frank Wright’s firm. For the past two weeks, she had been working full time—no longer juggling art school on the side, no longer returning home before dusk. Between motherhood, architecture, and sleepless nights, Maxine felt the tension creeping under her skin.And now, to top it off, she had to visit the construction site of the secretive mansion they had been designing.“Do I really have to go?” she asked Frank that morning as she packed her portfolio.Frank didn’t even look up. “Yes. Peter’s waiting. He’ll drive you.”Maxine sighed and grabbed her sketch folder, the familiar unease settling into her stomach. There was something off about this entire project, and today, for the first time, she’d be standing in the middle of it.Peter, cheerful as ever, was already waiting in the parking lot, leaning casual
