SARAH

It had been a full day since Isabella’s dramatic arrival, and I was still holed up in my room. I muttered to myself as I tossed another pillow back onto the bed. I wasn’t exactly hiding—I just couldn’t stand the sight of her. Every time I thought about her waltzing in, acting all smug and self-assured, my blood boiled. And Marco… He hadn’t said much since, which only made things worse.

I tried to shake off the frustration as I moved around, tidying up my room just to keep my hands busy. “Marco will deal with this,” I said under my breath, like a mantra. “He’ll send her packing today, and this nonsense will be over.”

Still, a part of me couldn’t help but wonder how we’d gotten here. How did our lives go from peaceful—almost blissful—to this chaos? One day we were happy, planning our future, and the next, Isabella was barging in with her ridiculous claim.

I sighed and headed into the bathroom. The cool splash of water on my face helped clear my mind a little, though not as much as

  • Owned By The Mafia Lord   Chapter 499

    SOFIAThe next morning came with a clear sky and sharp sunlight spilling through my curtains. I woke up before my alarm, already feeling that quiet rush of energy that came with knowing the day was mine to shape. I took my time in the mirror, choosing a fitted black dress and tying my hair neatly. I wanted to look untouchable. Power came in many forms—mine started with how I walked into a room.While eating breakfast, I scrolled through the office group chat. A message from Marco’s assistant caught my attention. Emergency staff meeting at noon. Topic: breach of client information. I stared at the words, a slow smile growing. Someone had messed up, and now there was chaos. Chaos always created openings.“Perfect,” I said under my breath, taking a sip of my coffee. “A room full of people, and Sarah pretending she belongs there.”I leaned back in my chair, thinking of her—her quiet act, her polite tone, how she always looked like she was holding her breath whenever I spoke. It was only a

    SOFIANight had already swallowed the city, leaving the streets below glowing with quiet lights. I sat on my sofa, still in my work clothes, one heel kicked off, the other dangling from my foot. The silence in my apartment felt good, familiar. It gave space for my thoughts to breathe, to replay everything that had happened these last two days.I thought about Sarah’s face when she couldn’t open that office file yesterday. The tiny crack in her confidence, that hint of frustration she tried to hide. It played over in my mind like a sweet replay, and I smiled to myself. Then the coffee incident today. I almost laughed out loud remembering how she tried to hold her calm when it spilled. Everyone saw it. Everyone saw me “helping” her clean it up. Perfect timing, perfect performance.And Marco. He didn’t say a word against me. He just stood there, calm as ever, that look on his face that never gives away too much. But silence can say plenty, and I knew what his meant. He was watching, weig

    SARAHThe alarm went off before the sun came up, but I was already awake. My mind had been restless all night, replaying Sofia’s message over and over again. “Let’s see if you’ve learned something.” Her words had burned into my head. I wasn’t going to give her another win.I got out of bed quietly and walked to the mirror. My eyes looked tired but focused. I took my time getting dressed—black skirt, cream blouse, hair tied neatly. I wanted to look composed, unbothered.Marco walked in while I was fastening my earrings. He leaned against the doorframe, half-smiling. “You look like you’re about to face a firing squad,” he said, amused.I glanced at him through the mirror. “Maybe I am.”He walked closer and wrapped his arms around me from behind. “You’re too tense, Sarah. It’s just work.”I shook my head lightly. “It’s not work I’m worried about. It’s her.”He chuckled. “Sofia?”“Yes. She sent me a message last night. Said I’ll be handling the whole morning prep alone. Like it’s a test.”

    SARAHMy fingers hovered above the keyboard as the clock on my screen ticked closer to nine. The merger conference was due to start any minute, and I still had no idea what Mr. Ricci was talking about. The entire office buzzed with tension, papers rustling, footsteps echoing down the hall. Everyone seemed to know what they were doing except me.Mr. Ricci came back, this time with two other managers at his side. Their suits were crisp, their expressions impatient. He stopped right in front of my desk, his tone firm but still polite enough to sting. “Mrs. De Luca, the link—where is it?”I blinked at him, trying to look composed. “I’m sorry… what link exactly?”He frowned, exchanging a look with the man beside him. “The client access code. The one Sofia always activated before board meetings. We can’t start without it. Didn’t she tell you?”My heart pounded in my chest. I searched the computer screen as if the answer might suddenly appear there. “She didn’t—”Before I could finish, a voi

    SARAHI woke up before the alarm, staring at the ceiling for a few seconds before turning toward Marco’s side of the bed. He wasn’t there, but I could hear the faint sound of hangers moving in the closet. My stomach tightened, part nerves, part excitement. My first official week as his secretary.I got up, pulling the sheets together before walking into the closet. He was already half dressed, buttoning his shirt, his watch glinting under the light. For a moment, I just stood there, watching him. Calm, controlled, sharp. The man who made half the city bow when he walked in.He noticed me in the mirror. “Morning,” he said, his voice low.“Morning.” I smiled, stepping closer. “You’re dressed already?”“I have an early call.” He turned, picking a tie from the rack. “You should get ready too. I want us to leave together.”I took the tie from his hand, brushing my thumb over the silk. “You look like you own the world.”His mouth curved. “I do. Now you’re part of it.”I laughed softly, fixi

    **********THIRD PERSONIt was late evening, the house quiet enough that the faint ticking of the clock filled the air. Maddalena sat in the lounge, one leg crossed over the other, a half-full glass of red wine resting on the table. The lights were low as she had been sitting there for almost an hour, not because she was restless, but because she was waiting. She always knew when the call would come. It was only a matter of time.When the phone finally rang, she didn’t jump. She reached for it calmly, her eyes on the darkened window as she answered.“Cara mia,” she said softly.The voice on the other end was cold and sharp. “You took your time calling, Maddalena.”She smiled faintly, not out of amusement, but habit. “I was waiting for you. I didn’t want to disturb.”“Disturb?” The woman’s tone cut through the calm. “What disturbs me is silence. Things have been too quiet lately. That girl, Sofia—she’s done absolutely nothing.”Maddalena leaned back in her chair, her wine untouched. “W
