ISABELLA

I paced around my suite, the plush carpet soft under my feet as I swirled the deep red wine in my glass, my eyes locked on the glaring numbers on my screen. My account balance had skyrocketed. The money kept rolling in, payment after payment, all from the media outlets desperate to get their hands on the pictures I’d given them of Marco.

I let out a slow, satisfied breath, shaking my head with a smirk. I knew I’d make a decent sum from this, but this? This was beyond what I expected. The journalists were practically throwing cash at me, and for what? A few strategically captured images, a little bit of well-placed dirt, and suddenly, Marco was the talk of every major news station.

I took a sip, letting the warmth of the wine settle in my chest. The best part? He didn’t even see it coming.

Marco had always walked around with that arrogant, untouchable air, acting like his empire was bulletproof. Like no one could ever take him down. But even the biggest sharks bled when cut de

  • Owned By The Mafia Lord   Chapter 527

    SOFIAI waited in the hallway after everyone rushed out of the meeting room. People walked past me fast, their steps loud, their faces tight with fear. Marco had shaken them, and they were desperate to get out of his sight. I held my tablet in my hands and pretended to work, tapping a few things, scrolling without reading. I was not paying attention to anything on the screen. My eyes stayed on Marco’s office door.He had walked out of the room without looking at any of us, his shoulders tense, his jaw set in a way I had not seen in a long time. Something was wrong. Not just business. Something deeper. Something that had nothing to do with missing trucks or dead captains. I could see it in the way he stood, the way he rubbed his forehead, the way his voice had cracked just a little when he dismissed everyone.That was private pain. And private pain always created room if you knew where to step.I waited until the building grew quiet. The staff went back to their corners, the managers w

  • Owned By The Mafia Lord   Chapter 526

    MARCOI sat in my office for a long time, staring at the laptop screen without seeing a single thing on it. The words in my inbox were nothing but shapes. The numbers in the reports might as well have been smoke. My head felt tight, my chest even tighter. Every time I tried to breathe deep, something inside me pushed back, like my whole body was warning me that I was not ready to face the day.I kept thinking of the morning. The empty house. The silence in the kitchen. The bed that was cold on one side. The letter she left on the table. I had picked it up before my mind was ready for the message. I read it anyway. Ever since then, something in me would not settle.I told myself to stay focused, to act like everything was under control, but even thinking that felt stupid. Nothing was normal. Not my home. Not my work. Not my mind.Two hours passed in that fog before I finally heard heavy footsteps in the hallway. A quiet knock followed, and Tony pushed the door open with a careful look

  • Owned By The Mafia Lord   Chapter 525

    MARCOMarco walked into the office, his suit stiff and his hands still clenching the fabric of the sleeves. The building smelled of polished wood and coffee, the usual hum of morning activity filling the air, but it all felt distant, like he was moving underwater. He pushed the door open, his eyes scanning the room, noting the staff already at their desks, typing, talking quietly, going through the motions of their day. Everything seemed normal, and that normalcy made him feel even more off balance.He sat at his desk, dropped his bag, and opened his laptop. The screen lit up with emails, messages, updates from logistics, and requests from investors. He stared at them, but the words didn’t stick. His mind kept returning to the note she left. The quiet way she said she needed space. The way she packed and walked out without a word. The house had felt empty yesterday, but now the void he carried followed him here.I thought to myself, a I standing here, typing emails like I’m supposed t

    SARAHI woke up with my face stiff from dried tears and my head pounding like I hadn’t slept at all. My throat felt tight, my eyes heavy and sore. For a few seconds I just stared up at the ceiling, trying to breathe normally, but the weight of last night came crashing down the moment I moved.Marco’s voice.His father’s words he threw at me.Everything Maddalena ever said.Sofia’s face at that party.All the little moments where I swallowed things and told myself it would get better.It all sat on my chest like something had been placed there while I slept.The house was too quiet and I knew, right there on that bed, that I couldn’t stay here today. I couldn’t stay in this house pretending I wasn’t breaking apart. After last night… no. I couldn’t do it.I pushed myself up and wiped my face with my hands. My palms came away wet again. I hadn’t even realized I was crying. My body just felt heavy, like sadness had soaked into my bones and stayed there.Marco’s voice replayed again.You m

    THIRD PERSON Marco walked into the house with his jaw tight and his shoulders tense. The silence inside was thick, too still, like the walls were waiting for something to explode. He shut the door without a sound and stood there for a moment, breathing hard. His father’s words kept echoing, circling his head again and again, each one hitting the same raw spot.He dragged his hand across his face and forced himself to move.The lights in the kitchen were on. He walked in and found Sarah standing by the counter. She was cutting fruit, slow and gentle, like she always did when she wanted things peaceful. She looked up the moment she sensed him. Her eyes softened. She gave him that small warm look, the one that usually calmed him.Tonight it did nothing. If anything, it made the anger twist deeper. Made the guilt sharper.She wiped her hands on a towel and took a step closer. “You’re back early,” she said. “Everything okay?”Her voice was low. Careful. It should have helped. He wished it

    MARCOI answered the call and my father’s voice hit me before I even said hello. He didn’t ease into it. He didn’t breathe. He just fired at me.“Marco, what the hell is going on?”The anger in his voice came sharp and loud. I held the phone away for a second because it felt like he was right in my ear. My ribs pinched a bit when I straightened up, but I forced my voice to stay calm.“What do you mean?” I said. “Everything is fine. Nothing is out of hand. I’m handling it.”“Do not lie to me,” he snapped. “Do not even try it. I have been getting calls since morning. Calls. From people I should never hear from unless something is going wrong.”I felt my jaw tighten. I tried to breathe slow, but he gave me no space.“You think I don’t know?” he went on. “I know about the routes. I know about the investors. And I know about the missing shipment.”I froze there. My whole body felt still. I didn’t expect the news to fly all the way to him this fast. Investors calling him meant it was worse
