SARAH

I curled up on the couch, my feet tucked under me as I searched for something to watch. It had been a long day, and all I wanted was to unwind. Flipping through the streaming options, I settled on a lighthearted anime I’d seen a few clips of online. Within minutes, I was already laughing at the silly humor and over-the-top characters.

Resting my hand on my growing belly, I smiled, feeling a wave of warmth spread through me. “Do you like this too, little one?” I asked softly, glancing down. “Is it funny to you?” The thought of my baby growing up and maybe loving the same silly things I did made me giggle. It was such a wholesome, peaceful moment that I wished I could bottle it up.

I was halfway through the first episode when I heard the sound of the front door opening. I turned my head and smiled instinctively as Marco walked in. As always, he looked effortlessly put together—his black button-up shirt fit him perfectly, and his presence seemed to fill the room the second he stepp

  • Owned By The Mafia Lord   Chapter 516

    MARCOThe morning light crept through the blinds and brushed over my eyes before I was ready for it. My head still hurt, but the drugs had worn off enough to let the pain settle deep, steady, and real. The faint sound of traffic from outside mixed with the soft hum of machines in the room. Everything felt too quiet, too clean, too distant.Sofia sat by the window, legs crossed, scrolling through her phone like she was waiting for someone to tell her she belonged there. Her hair was tied back, and her heels rested neatly beside the chair. On the table near her, a tray of untouched breakfast sat cold.I stared at the ceiling for a while, trying not to think, but my mind didn’t listen. I saw Sarah’s face the moment she walked into the room last night. The hurt in her eyes. The disbelief. The silence that followed. Then her leaving. I hadn’t seen her since. No call. No message. Not even a word from home. Just the same echo of guilt sitting somewhere under my ribs.Sofia must have felt my

    SARAHRain hit the glass in steady drops, the sound mixing with the hum of the car engine. The night was dark, the road almost empty, lights from passing cars flashing across the wet windshield. I sat quietly in the passenger seat, arms folded, still trying to understand how I ended up here.His hands stayed steady on the wheel. He drove with the kind of calm that didn’t match the weather. His voice came low, casual. “You live around here?”I wiped at my face with my sleeve. “Not really.”He nodded like he already knew that. “I’m Daniel.”“Sarah,” I said, voice flat.“Nice name,” he said. “Rough night?”“You could say that.”For a while, he said nothing. The wipers moved back and forth, cutting through the rain. Streetlights passed in flashes, showing his face for a moment at a time.. calm and a bit unreadable.“You from the city?” he asked.“Yeah.”He nodded again. “You look tired.”“I am.”“Work?”“No.”“Then what?”I didn’t answer. I wasn’t in the mood to share my life story with a

    It was getting late. The lights in the corridor had dimmed to a soft yellow, the kind that made everything look tired. Nurses walked past in quiet pairs, their shoes whispering against the floor. The air smelled of coffee and disinfectant. Someone laughed faintly down the hall, and the sound made my chest tighten. The world kept moving while I sat there, waiting for something to change.Tony passed by a few minutes later, his jacket still on, eyes red like he hadn’t slept either. “He’s stable now,” he said quietly. “Still weak, but he’s fighting. You should rest, Sarah. It’s going to be a long night.”I nodded, even though I couldn’t. Resting felt wrong when Marco was lying in there, hurt, because of how we left things. I wanted to see him. Just see him breathing, hear his voice. Maybe he’d look at me the way he used to. Maybe not. I still needed to try.The hours dragged. I kept checking the clock, kept telling myself I’d wait until visiting hours ended, then go. But I didn’t move. M

    SARAHThe door was half open when I stopped. The room was quiet, the air heavy with that sterile hospital smell that always made my stomach twist. Marco was lying there, pale, eyes half-open. And beside him, Sofia’s hand rested on his arm like it had always been hers to touch.The doctor said something low, his tone calm, professional, then turned and slipped out. The door clicked softly behind him. I stayed frozen, watching Sofia lean closer, whispering something I couldn’t hear. Marco gave a small nod, his face tired but peaceful. That was when my chest started to burn.I stepped inside. My shoes made a small sound against the floor. She didn’t even look at me at first, like I was invisible. My voice came out barely above a whisper. “Marco… are you okay?”He turned his head, slow, eyes landing on me. For a second, I thought something would soften there. But nothing did.“I’m fine,” he said quietly.Just that. Flat, polite. The kind of voice you use with a stranger.I tried to smile,

    SARAHThe morning was gray and heavy. I woke up still in the same clothes from last night, the fabric wrinkled and sticking to my skin. My eyes burned, my head hurt, and for a second, I couldn’t remember what day it was. The rain hadn’t stopped. It beat against the windows, a dull sound that filled the silence of the room.Marco’s side of the bed was empty, cold. I turned toward it slowly, staring at the imprint where he used to sleep. The air smelled faintly of his cologne, the one he always wore after shaving. I sat up, rubbed my hands over my face, and tried to shake off the fog in my mind.The house was too quiet. No sound from downstairs. No footsteps. No coffee brewing. Just the rain and the ticking clock. I pushed my hair back, feeling a dull ache build behind my temples. He hadn’t come home. He hadn’t even called.I thought maybe he stayed at the office again, or maybe with Tony. I told myself not to think the worst. But the more I stared at the rain, the more uneasy I felt.W

  • Owned By The Mafia Lord   Chapter 511

    SARAHThe house was too quiet. Even the rain outside sounded louder than usual, soft at first, then stronger, like it was pushing against the windows. The lights were low, only the dim glow from the hallway spilling faintly into the room. I lay there on the bed, staring at the ceiling, my eyes wide open. Sleep wasn’t coming. My mind refused to stop.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw him again. The way he looked at me before telling me to go home. His voice had been calm, too calm, the kind that cut deeper than shouting ever could. It kept replaying, word for word, tone for tone. I couldn’t make it stop.The pillow under my cheek was damp. I’d cried more than I wanted to admit, the kind of crying that left my throat raw and my head aching. My chest felt tight, like I’d been holding my breath all night. The air was heavy, carrying the smell of rain and that faint trace of his cologne that still lingered on the sheets.The house felt too big tonight. Every sound echoed—the soft ticking
