SARAH

The cab rolled to a stop in front of my house, and I hesitated for a moment before climbing in. I slid into the back seat, pulling the door shut behind me, and gave the driver the address Tony had sent me. The café wasn’t far, but the drive felt like an eternity as I sat there, staring out the window, my mind spinning.

This was happening. It was all in motion now. There was no turning back.

The driver didn’t say much, which I appreciated. The last thing I needed was idle chatter. My thoughts were loud enough. As the city blurred past the window, I tried to focus, to steady my breathing, to keep my hands from trembling. I needed to be calm, collected, ready for whatever came next.

I glanced at my phone, the screen lighting up with the address again. The weight of what I was about to do pressed down on me, but it wasn’t fear. No, it was something else. Determination. Resolve. The knowledge that this was the only way to end it.

The driver finally spoke, breaking the silence. “We’re

  • Owned By The Mafia Lord   Chapter 462

    MARCOI hated lying still. The ache in my leg was not the kind that broke a man, but it burned just enough to remind me that I had been caught off guard. That thought stung worse than the wound. I shifted in the bed, pushing myself up higher against the pillows, my hand gripping the side of the frame as if I could will strength back into my muscles. Every second wasted in this bed was a second I could not afford.The door creaked open. I already knew it was her by the soft sound of her steps. Sarah walked in holding a tray, her face tight with focus. She carried it like it was treasure, like it mattered if a spoon tilted or a cup spilled. She set it on the table near the bed and gave me a look before she even spoke.“You’re supposed to be resting,” she said.“I am resting,” I replied, adjusting my shoulders.Her eyes narrowed as she crossed the room. “Resting doesn’t mean fighting with the bed like it owes you money.”A small laugh left me. She always knew how to throw a jab when I le

    SOFIAThe silence stretched after his first words. I could still hear that quiet laugh in my ear, smooth and steady, as if he had been waiting for me all along. My throat tightened, but I forced myself to speak before he could twist the air in his favor.“I’ll say this straight,” I said, my voice sharp. “If you think I called to play puppet, you’re wrong. I’ll work with you, but I move on my own terms. I don’t take orders like some weak thing you can pull by a string.”There was a pause, then a low chuckle. “Bold,” Guido said. “I like bold. But you called me, Sofia. That already says something.”I gripped the phone tighter. “Don’t mistake my call for surrender. I want something clear between us. If I do this, if I stand with you, I want ground of my own. Not scraps. Not some secret handout that makes me dependent. I want my own space, my own pull. I want to be seen as someone who can stand beside Marco, not as some pawn in your game.”He didn’t answer right away. I could hear the fain

    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

  • Owned By The Mafia Lord   Chapter 459

    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

  • Owned By The Mafia Lord   Chapter 457

    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
