MARCO

I followed the doctor down the hallway, my mind spinning like a carousel of worst-case scenarios. Every step felt heavier than the last. My gut churned, and the faint hum of fluorescent lights overhead felt like a dull roar in my ears. What did he need to tell me in private? If Sarah was stable, why couldn’t he just say it in the waiting room?

The idea that something worse might be going on clawed at my brain. I couldn’t stop the flood of possibilities. What if her condition had suddenly deteriorated? What if they’d missed something? What if she wasn’t actually stable?

The doctor didn’t say a word as we walked, and that silence only made it worse. I was on the edge of asking him to just spit it out, but the look on his face—calm but serious—kept me from speaking. He stopped in front of a door, opening it and motioning for me to step inside.

The room was small, standard, with a desk, two chairs, and shelves lined with books and folders. The kind of place where conversations you d

  • Owned By The Mafia Lord   Chapter 542

    PROLOGUE: The sun shined through the windows, painting the living room in gold. I sat on the couch, leaning back as two little girls raced past me, squealing and shrieking, leaving a trail of toys. Marco was on the floor, trying to corral them, but the girls were quicker, giggling every time he got close.“Mom! He’s chasing us!” one shouted, her curls bouncing as she darted under the table.I laughed, clutching my stomach. “Girls, be nice! Give Daddy a chance!”Marco groaned, pretending to collapse onto the floor in defeat, but his eyes were laughing, soft and warm. “I can’t take it anymore! You two are relentless!”The girls tumbled onto the couch beside me, breathless and laughing. I ruffled their hair and felt their tiny hands grab mine. “We’re unstoppable, Mommy!” one whispered conspiratorially.I glanced at Marco again. He was watching us, his jaw tight with mock exasperation, but I could see the sparkle in his eyes, the love. The chaos of the morning, the spilled cereal, the sq

    ***********Marco paced the hospital corridor, shoes scuffing the tile floor, the fluorescent lights overhead making him itch with nerves. Each step was heavier than the last. He hadn’t felt this helpless in years. Sarah was in surgery, the bullet in her shoulder removed, and every second stretched endlessly.Tony leaned against the wall, arms crossed, glancing at Marco. Petrov stood beside him, eyes sharp, silent but present. “You alright, boss?” Tony finally asked, breaking the tense silence.Marco stopped pacing and ran a hand through his hair. “I should’ve been there. I should’ve protected her. I…” His voice cracked, and he swallowed hard. “She’s all I have.”Tony’s lips twitched into a small smirk. “You know what saved her, right?”Marco’s gaze snapped to him. “Tony?”“Yeah. That sniper shot?” Tony nodded. “That wasn’t just luck. That was me. You think we’d let you walk in there alone? You think we’d let Guido have you both after all that?”Petrov added quietly, “And the explosio

    ***********Smoke and fire lit the night around them as Marco and Sarah ran through the abandoned docks, their footsteps echoing on wet concrete. Explosions from the hotel in the distance shook the ground, sending clouds of dust and smoke swirling around the alleyways. Marco’s hand gripped Sarah’s tightly, his thumb brushing over hers, grounding her as they dodged debris and twisted metal. He glanced back for a brief second, spotting shadows moving fast—Guido’s men had realized they were escaping.“Keep up!” Marco hissed, tugging her forward.“I’m trying!” she gasped, fear sharp in her voice, her legs threatening to buckle under her.They darted between containers and stacks of crates, the firelight from the hotel making their shadows dance along the walls. Bullets ricocheted off metal near their heads, sparks flying dangerously close. Marco shoved Sarah into a small alcove as he returned fire with his pistol, keeping the assailants at bay while catching his breath.“Move now!” he bar

    ********Marco woke up with a sharp ache at the back of his head. The room was dark, only a faint light flickering from a single bulb overhead. His arms and legs were tied to a sturdy chair. His head throbbed, but the first thing he noticed was Sarah. She sat a few feet away, her wrists bound, hair messy, and her face streaked with tears. His chest tightened at the sight, anger and fear mixing in a heavy punch.A slow, deliberate clap echoed from the shadows. Guido stepped forward from the darkness, hands behind his back, his smile wide and confident.“You should’ve known,” Marco said through gritted teeth, a dry scoff escaping him. “It had to be you all along.”Guido laughed, a low, sharp sound that filled the room. “Ah, Marco… you were so high in your little sky, so sure of yourself, that you never saw it coming. Outdone by me. Just me. That’s what happens when you think you’re untouchable.”Marco’s jaw tightened. “You’re crazy.”“Crazy? No, Marco. Calculated. Methodical. Everything

    SARAHI couldn’t stop shaking. My whole body felt cold and tight, like the fear was crawling under my skin and wouldn’t let go. My wrists burned from the ropes, my ankles hurt, and every breath came out uneven. I tried to keep quiet, to stay strong, but the tears kept slipping out on their own.I lowered my head and let the tears fall. I didn’t even have the strength to wipe them.The warehouse around me felt too big, too loud. Men were moving crates, checking guns, laughing from time to time like nothing here meant anything. Like I wasn’t tied up in the middle of all of it.Then I heard his steps.Guido.Slow, steady, confident.He walked toward me like he was coming to enjoy a show. I tensed without meaning to.He stopped right in front of me and tilted his head a bit, studying my face. I quickly looked away, but he grabbed my chin and forced me to face him.“Don’t hide it,” he said. “Let me see.”I kept crying silently, and he smiled like it entertained him.“You know,” he said, le

    MARCOI sat in my office staring at the same line on the contract for almost ten minutes. My head throbbed. My eyes burned. My back felt stiff from sitting too long. I rubbed my face with both hands and pushed the chair back a little.I hadn’t slept right in days.Suppliers pulling out. Partners calling every hour. People whispering that I was losing grip of the city. Every damn thing felt like it was slipping through my fingers. And now Sofia was nowhere to be found.I checked the time again.She should have been here by now. I needed her to prep the last set of papers for the new deal we were trying to fix fast. But her office was empty. Her phone kept ringing out. Not even a text from her.I leaned forward and pressed my thumb to my forehead.I wondered if she was avoiding me because of the night at my house. The way she tried to kiss me. The way she acted like she wanted to push past every rule we had. I shut her down hard. Maybe that pushed her away for good.Good. That should ha
