MARCO

I set the phone down slowly, feeling its cold weight in my hand as the call ended. The finality of it pressed down on me like a thick fog—heavy, unnerving. He had confirmed my resignation. He’d told me where to pick Sarah up. But none of it felt right, like waking up from a bad dream only to realize you’re still stuck in it. The silence in the room was too still, too loud, broken only by the steady, muted breaths of Tony and Petrov beside me. They waited, both of them watching me closely, and I forced myself to take a deep breath, to clear the swirl of unease that kept nagging at the back of my mind.

Tony was the first to break the silence, leaning back in his chair with that usual smirk—half-reassuring, half-infuriating. “See? I told you this would happen.” He stretched his arms out, almost too casual, too satisfied. “First things first—Sarah is safe, Marco. She’s alive, which is a damn good factor in all this.” He paused, raising a brow. “Now? Now it’s our turn. Time to hit th

  • Owned By The Mafia Lord   Chapter 460

    SOFIAThe ringing in my ear felt louder than it should have. My hand was damp against the phone, and every second Maddalena didn’t pick up made my chest squeeze tighter. When she finally answered, her voice cut through sharp and cold.“Where the hell have you been?” she snapped. “I called you three times. Bianca said she hasn’t seen you since morning. Do you think this is a game, Sofia?”I froze, my throat tight. For a second the truth almost spilled out — Guido, Daniel, the ropes, the way fear had crawled over my skin the whole walk home. It was right there, pushing at my lips. But then his voice slipped back into my head. That calm certainty, the promise that Marco could be mine if I let him lead me. My tongue pressed against my teeth, locking the words inside.“I…” I started, then bit down so hard on my lip I tasted blood. My eyes watered at the sting, but it kept me quiet long enough to think. I couldn’t tell her. I wouldn’t.“I needed air,” I said finally, letting the words fall

    SOFIAThe air outside felt heavy as I stepped onto the street. My legs carried me forward, but every step felt wrong, shaky, like I had forgotten how to walk straight. The city was the same as always, cars passing, people moving, voices in the distance. But to me, everything looked different, sharper, more threatening. I felt eyes on me even when no one was looking.Guido’s words wouldn’t leave my head. They sat there, pressing on me, filling every quiet space. The promises, the warning, the way he spoke like my choices didn’t matter. I kept hearing him over and over, until it made the sound of traffic fade.I passed a man standing by a corner shop. He turned his head and glanced at me. Just a glance, nothing more, but my stomach tightened as if he had seen through me. My pace quickened. Another man walked past and his shoulder brushed mine. I froze for half a second, turning to check if he stopped, if he followed. He didn’t. Still, I couldn’t shake the thought that someone would.My

    THIRD PERSON Daniel’s hands moved with no hesitation, no sign of care as he worked at the knots. The rope slid off Sophia’s wrists, rough against her skin, and fell onto the floor with a dull sound. He didn’t look at her. He didn’t check if her hands were sore or if she could even move them. He just stepped back and flicked his chin toward the door.“The door’s open,” he said flatly.Sophia rubbed her wrists, her eyes fixed on him. The freedom was there, just a few steps away, but she didn’t move. Instead, she stayed seated, her chest rising and falling with slow, careful breaths.“You untie me, just like that?” she asked. “No warning, no threat? You think that makes sense?”Daniel leaned against the wall, arms crossed. “You’re free to go. No one’s stopping you.”Sophia’s lips pressed together. Something in his tone struck her. Not kindness, not mercy—just indifference. It made her skin prickle. She rose from the chair but didn’t head for the door.“You don’t even care what happens a

    SARAHThe house was quiet when I opened my eyes. Too quiet. The curtains let in soft morning light, but it felt heavier than usual. Marco’s steady breathing beside me pulled me back. He looked better than yesterday, less pale, his chest rising with a little more strength.I brushed my hand against his arm. He stirred, eyes opening slowly, a grin tugging at his lips.“You’re still watching me sleep?” he muttered, voice rough.“You’re lucky I don’t time your breaths,” I said. “I have to make sure you’re still alive.”He chuckled, though it came out like gravel. “Careful, Sarah. You’ll make me think you can’t live without me.”I narrowed my eyes. “Don’t joke about that.”He caught my hand, squeezing weakly. “I’m fine. Stronger today. I’ll be walking laps around you by noon.”“You can barely sit up without making me panic,” I muttered, tugging the blanket higher over him.His smirk spread. He shifted, trying to sit straighter. “Then stop panicking. Look.”Before I could stop him, he swung

    SOFIAGuido didn’t rush when he came in. He moved slow, steady, his shoes clicking against the floor until he stopped across from me. The chair scraped as he sat, his body leaning back like he had all the time in the world. His hands rested calmly on the armrests, his eyes on me like I was some puzzle he had already half-solved.Daniel stayed by the wall, stiff and quiet, his arms folded. He didn’t even glance at me. He just stood there, guarding like I was some animal.I glared at both of them, my chest tight. “You think this is brave?” My voice cracked with anger. “Tying me up like this? Keeping me in the dark like some prisoner? You’re cowards. Both of you.”Guido smiled faintly, but it wasn’t warm. It was the kind of smile that said he was in charge here. “Cowards? No. Careful? Yes. You’ll learn soon enough why.”“Why don’t you untie me and show me how careful you are,” I shot back, my wrists pulling against the ropes. They burned already, but I didn’t care. “Or are you afraid I’l

    SOFIAThe footsteps drew closer, steady and unhurried. My pulse thudded in my ears as the shadow grew on the floor, stretching until it broke into shape. Daniel stepped inside. He didn’t rush. He didn’t speak. He just closed the door behind him and stood there, calm, like he had all the time in the world.I pushed myself up as far as the ropes allowed, my wrists burning. “What the hell is this?” My voice cracked but I forced it louder. “What do you think you’re doing? Have you lost your mind?”He didn’t flinch. His face stayed flat, unreadable, the same mask he wore in the car. He stepped closer, the weight of his calm pressing on me more than shouting ever could.“You’ll find out soon enough,” he said finally, his tone low and steady. “For now, wait.”That was it. No explanation. No detail. Just those words. My teeth clenched, my fear sparking into anger.“You think you can drag me off the street like this and tell me to wait?” I snapped. “Do you know who I am? Do you have any idea w
