SARAH

The moment Marco left the room, his words lingered in my mind like a weight I couldn’t shake off. “Stay out of sight. Don’t ask questions.” He didn’t say it in a harsh tone, but it was enough to leave me feeling uneasy. I wasn’t sure what this get-together was supposed to be about, but from the way he spoke, it was clear he didn’t want me anywhere near it. He always had this way of keeping me in the dark when it came to certain things, as if it was for my own good. But now, I couldn’t help but wonder if this was something else.

Was he trying to protect me? Or was he… embarrassed of me?

That thought made my chest tighten, and I hated that it even crossed my mind. I tried not to think of Marco that way. He wasn’t the type to care about appearances, at least not with me. But there was something about the way he said it, like he didn’t want anyone to know I was here. Like it was better for everyone if I just disappeared for the night.

I sighed and sank back onto the bed, pulling my

  • Owned By The Mafia Lord   Chapter 413

    SARAHThe light coming in from the window was soft and quiet. I didn’t need to check the time to know it was early. Marco was already up. I could hear the sound of drawers opening, the soft creak of leather shoes being pulled on. For a second, I stayed still in bed, eyes on the ceiling. A full week had passed since the party. No drama. No fights. No Maddalena dragging me into anything. Just quiet mornings like this. Peaceful, honest. I wasn’t dreaming. He stayed with me every day. We cooked, we watched TV, we made love, we held each other like the world outside didn’t exist.I pulled the blanket aside and sat up slowly, stretching my arms. There was no tension in my chest. No weight. I felt light. Calm. Like I had a second chance and I could finally live in it.After a quick stop at the bathroom, I let the shower run over me. I scrubbed gently, humming under my breath. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, tied my hair up into a bun. The air was fresh. Not a trace of tension left.When

    SARAHThe house was calm that morning. For the first time in a while, Marco and I had breakfast in peace. He looked rested, soft-eyed… We didn’t talk much, just exchanged a few glances and light words between bites. It was enough.Then Maddalena walked in.She was dressed sharply as usual, navy blazer, white blouse tucked in neatly, gold earrings that probably cost more than my entire wardrobe. Her hair was pinned back like she was heading to a meeting, not a casual morning stroll. Her smile was smooth, pleasant, but I felt it in my stomach. Trouble.“I was thinking,” she said as she took a seat at the table, pouring herself some coffee without asking, “Sarah and I should go out today. Just us.”I looked up.Marco’s head turned slightly. “Where?”“There’s an Italian-themed market downtown. Not too far. They bring in vendors straight from the south. Fresh flowers, wines, cheeses, olive oils, the works. I thought Sarah would enjoy it. Might help her… connect with tradition.”Marco’s eye

    SARAHI woke up to the sound of slow breathing beside me. Marco was still asleep, his arm resting over my waist like he’d done it a thousand times. Maybe he had. I didn’t move at first. I just watched him, trying to figure out what I felt. He looked peaceful, unaware of the weight sitting in my chest. My thoughts were still full of yesterday, the way he stood up to Maddalena, how his hand gripped mine in public like it meant something.I didn’t know if I trusted him again. But I wanted peace.Carefully, I slid out from under his arm, picked up one of his shirts from the floor, and slipped it on. It still smelled like him cologne and something sharp underneath. The air in the room was warm, quiet. I grabbed my bonnet from the side table and tied it on before I started straightening the bed.The room was a mess. Pillows tossed, sheets everywhere. I folded the blanket, set things back in place, and opened the curtains just enough to let the sun peek in. I moved around quietly, not wantin

    SARAH I woke up to silence. Not the tense kind I’d grown used to. Not the cold, stretched-out quiet that usually meant Marco was angry or Maddalena was lurking somewhere in the shadows. This silence felt different. Still. Gentle, almost like the house itself was waiting for something. I lay there for a few seconds, blinking up at the ceiling. The light coming through the curtains was too bright for early morning. I was already late. I ran a hand across the sheets. They were cool beside me. He was gone. I pushed the blanket off, slipped my feet onto the floor, and reached for my robe. As I tied the belt around my waist, I listened for the usual sounds. The distant click of heels down the hallway. The buzz of Marco on a call. Maids whispering or dishes clinking in the kitchen. But there was nothing. Just the soft hum of air conditioning and birds outside the window. I stepped out of the room, walking barefoot down the hallway. My body was still heavy from sleep, but my mind had alre

    SARAHThe sun rose without asking how I felt about it.It just spilled through the curtains like everything was fine. Like the world hadn’t cracked open a little bit the night before.I lay there for a while, eyes open, staring at the ceiling. I hadn’t slept much. The bed felt too big, the silence too loud. My thoughts didn’t slow down—they just looped. Marco’s face. The bruises. The blood on his shirt. The sound of him breathing outside my door, like he was running out of air.He looked so lost.And I hated that I still cared.Eventually, I pushed the blanket off and sat up. My body felt heavy, like I hadn’t moved in days. I reached for my robe and padded barefoot to the bathroom. The mirror didn’t lie. My eyes were puffy. Skin dull. But I didn’t care enough to fix anything.I brushed my teeth, tied my hair up, and pulled on a long beige sweater and black leggings. Nothing special. I didn’t want to dress up. I just wanted to breathe.The house was quiet.Too quiet.No chatter from th

  • Owned By The Mafia Lord   CHAPTER 408

    MARCO I stumbled out of the SUV before it even came to a full stop. Tony didn’t say a word. He knew better. My shirt was torn down one side, knuckles swollen, lip cracked and bleeding. I could taste blood mixed with whiskey on my tongue. The sun hadn’t come up yet, but the lights at the front of the estate were still on. The place was quiet. Still. Too quiet. No one came to open the door. The guards at the gate didn’t even flinch when I walked past. One of the maids passed through the hallway inside, looked at me from the corner of her eye, then turned like she hadn’t seen me at all. I stepped inside the house, dragging guilt behind me like it weighed a ton. Everything looked the same, but it didn’t feel like home. Not anymore. The hallway was wide and cold. Marble floors. High ceilings. That stupid chandelier my mother picked out hanging above like a noose. I passed the framed portraits. One of them—me and Sarah at the vineyard. I looked happy in that photo. She looked happi
