SARAH

It was still early, but my eyes refused to shut again.

I lay there for a while, tucked in the sheets, watching the soft morning light slide slowly across the wall. The room was quiet, peaceful, almost too still for the thoughts running through my head. My body felt sore in that lazy, sweet way after being touched the way he touched me last night. I smiled to myself, then frowned, then smiled again. It was ridiculous how one night with Marco could still make me feel like a shy girl all over again. My cheeks warmed as I shifted a little under the covers.

I turned my head slowly toward him.

He was still sleeping, back against the pillows, one arm tossed over his stomach. His chest rose and fell, calm, steady. His hair was messy from sleep, and a strand of it curled across his forehead. I reached over, gently brushing the strand back, then let my fingers rest in his hair for a second. He didn’t stir. I leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to his forehead.

“Sleep, baby,” I whispered,

    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

    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

    SOFIAGuido didn’t rush when he came in. He moved slow, steady, his shoes clicking against the floor until he stopped across from me. The chair scraped as he sat, his body leaning back like he had all the time in the world. His hands rested calmly on the armrests, his eyes on me like I was some puzzle he had already half-solved.Daniel stayed by the wall, stiff and quiet, his arms folded. He didn’t even glance at me. He just stood there, guarding like I was some animal.I glared at both of them, my chest tight. “You think this is brave?” My voice cracked with anger. “Tying me up like this? Keeping me in the dark like some prisoner? You’re cowards. Both of you.”Guido smiled faintly, but it wasn’t warm. It was the kind of smile that said he was in charge here. “Cowards? No. Careful? Yes. You’ll learn soon enough why.”“Why don’t you untie me and show me how careful you are,” I shot back, my wrists pulling against the ropes. They burned already, but I didn’t care. “Or are you afraid I’l

    SOFIAThe footsteps drew closer, steady and unhurried. My pulse thudded in my ears as the shadow grew on the floor, stretching until it broke into shape. Daniel stepped inside. He didn’t rush. He didn’t speak. He just closed the door behind him and stood there, calm, like he had all the time in the world.I pushed myself up as far as the ropes allowed, my wrists burning. “What the hell is this?” My voice cracked but I forced it louder. “What do you think you’re doing? Have you lost your mind?”He didn’t flinch. His face stayed flat, unreadable, the same mask he wore in the car. He stepped closer, the weight of his calm pressing on me more than shouting ever could.“You’ll find out soon enough,” he said finally, his tone low and steady. “For now, wait.”That was it. No explanation. No detail. Just those words. My teeth clenched, my fear sparking into anger.“You think you can drag me off the street like this and tell me to wait?” I snapped. “Do you know who I am? Do you have any idea w

    SARAHThe house felt quieter that evening. The noise from earlier had faded, the sharp voices gone, the tension from Sophia’s sudden appearance no longer shaking the walls. But it still lingered in me. Every step I took down the hallway carried that same weight, like the silence wasn’t really peace, just something holding its breath.I stopped outside Marco’s room. The door was half open, a sliver of warm light spilling out. Inside, I saw him sitting up against the headboard, his shoulders a little straighter than before. He still looked pale, still worn out, but not as broken as the day before. The sight of him awake, moving on his own, eased something in me I didn’t even know I was holding.A doctor stood by his side, packing his bag. He was muttering in Italian, short and sharp, telling Marco not to overdo himself. Marco answered him with a faint smirk, like he had no intention of listening.“You’re stubborn,” the doctor said as he snapped the bag shut. “Rest. No late calls, no str

  • Owned By The Mafia Lord   Chapter 453

    SOFIAThe hum of the car grew louder in my head. At first, I thought it was just my nerves, but then I noticed the streets. They didn’t match the directions I gave. The turns were wrong. We should have been heading toward Bianca’s, but everything outside the window told me different.I leaned forward, my hand clutching my bag tight. “Daniel,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. “You’re going the wrong way. Turn back.”He didn’t answer. His hands gripped the wheel, firm, his eyes fixed straight ahead like he hadn’t even heard me.My chest tightened. I forced a small laugh, even though nothing felt funny. “Seriously, Daniel. You’re lost. You need to turn back.”Silence.My throat dried up. I hated silence more than shouting. At least shouting meant something. This… this emptiness made my stomach twist.“Daniel,” I snapped now, my voice sharp. “Are you deaf? I said you’re lost. Turn the car around.”His jaw moved slightly, clenching, but still no answer. The longer he stayed quiet, t
