MARCO

The city lights blurred past the windshield as I drove with no real direction. I should’ve gone straight home. I knew that. But something in me didn’t want to walk through that door just yet—not with the weight between us sitting in every corner of that house.

So I turned off the main road, took a street I hadn’t driven in a while. Old route. Quiet. Familiar.

Ten minutes later, I was pulling into a narrow lot behind a bar I used to come to before things got this heavy. Before marriage… Before it felt like the walls of my own house were pressing in on me.

I didn’t come here often, but the bartender always remembered. His name was Luca. Broad shoulders, shaved head, always polishing the same damn glass like he was waiting for a reason to throw it.

When I stepped inside, the smell hit me—wood, whiskey, and old smoke that never really left. The place hadn’t changed. Low lights. Wooden floors that creaked when you walked too fast. Booths along the wall, bar stools half-filled.

  • Owned By The Mafia Lord   Chapter 418

    SARAHI walked down the hall without looking back. The door behind me had closed, and I wasn’t going to open it again tonight. My feet moved on their own, steady and quiet. My chest felt tight, but I kept walking, hands by my sides, cold and still.I passed our bedroom and went straight to the guest room at the far end of the hall. I hadn’t used it in months, not since before the wedding. I opened the door, stepped in, and locked it behind me.The click of the lock echoed louder than it should have. It sounded final.The room was untouched. Like a clean hotel room that didn’t belong to me. The air felt stale, the kind of stillness that reminded me I wasn’t supposed to be here. I stood for a moment, unsure of what to do. My hands were shaking, but my face stayed calm.I didn’t turn on the light. I walked to the edge of the bed, sat down, and folded my hands between my knees.My body was stiff. My throat ached like something was stuck inside it. I stared at the floor, but I wasn’t seein

    SARAHI sat alone at the dining table, staring at the open bag like it had cursed me. The tie was there, neatly folded. The same one I helped Marco pick out for a dinner that never happened. The perfume still lingered in the air, subtle but sharp enough to sting. And the lipstick—God, that red. The kind of red that screamed intention.I hadn’t eaten a thing. My plate was untouched. I only drank water. My stomach was tight, twisted. The silence around me was loud. My thoughts were louder.Why now? Why that tie? Why her perfume?I thought I was past all this. I thought we were finally getting back to normal. But this? This wasn’t normal. This was a slap.I rubbed my eyes before the tears could spill. No. I wasn’t going to cry. Not for this. Not again.I picked up the lipstick and rolled it between my fingers. It still felt warm, like the person who used it wasn’t far. Maybe she wasn’t.A courier doesn’t bring a message like that without instructions.I stood up, gripping the table edge.

    SARAHIt was early evening, and the house felt unusually calm. The sun had dipped low, casting a soft gold through the sheer curtains. I stood with Martha in the living room, her hands steady as she passed me a fresh bundle of white tulips.“You’ve really got an eye for this, ma’am,” she said gently, arranging the roses into the tall vase beside us.I smiled and adjusted one of the longer stems. “It’s just flowers, Martha.”“Maybe to you. But to someone like me, it’s the little things. Makes this place feel more like a home, not just… big walls and money.”I chuckled under my breath. “I’ll take that as a compliment.”She nodded with a grin and moved to get another vase. A low tune hummed in the background from the speakers—something classical, soft, familiar. For once, I felt like the house was breathing easy. No tension. No Maddalena. No eyes watching me from behind walls.That was rare.I was just about to ask Martha if she wanted help with the last arrangement when the front door o

    SOFIAThe door clicked shut behind me, sharp and final. I stood still, staring at the wood like it might open again, like maybe he’d change his mind. But he didn’t. Of course he didn’t. Marco De Luca never changes his mind once it’s made. Especially not for me.I didn’t cry. I didn’t scream. I didn’t fall to pieces. I just stood there, frozen, while the silence in that hallway wrapped around me like ice. My chest felt tight. My throat burned. But I kept my chin up.He didn’t even look angry. That’s what got me. He didn’t yell. Didn’t curse. He just asked me to leave. Calm. Cold. Like I was some uninvited guest that overstayed her welcome.Like I was nothing.Not a woman he used to hold. Not someone he once swore he couldn’t live without.Just… noise.I forced my legs to move. My heels clicked against the marble floor, too loud and too slow. Each step echoed in that empty hallway, bouncing off the walls like a reminder. I was walking away from the one man who used to look at me like I

    MARCOI looked up and saw her.Sofia.She stood at the door of my office like she owned the entire building. Arms folded neatly across her chest, hips tilted like she’d just walked off a runway. The same smug look sat on her face, the one I remembered too well. The one that always came right before she tried to push a boundary or walk over someone. There was a glint in her eye, like she thought this was funny. Like popping into my office without notice was some kind of joke.It wasn’t.My first reaction wasn’t shock. It wasn’t even surprise. It was something worse. A deep wave of irritation that started low in my chest and climbed fast. My jaw locked and I felt my fingers curl slightly at my sides. She still knew how to get under my skin. Still knew how to bring chaos with nothing but a smile.“How the hell did you get in here?” I asked, slowly standing up from my chair. My voice was low, steady, but my eyes were cold. “Who let you past security?”She gave a soft laugh. That same laug

    SARAHThe light coming in from the window was soft and quiet. I didn’t need to check the time to know it was early. Marco was already up. I could hear the sound of drawers opening, the soft creak of leather shoes being pulled on. For a second, I stayed still in bed, eyes on the ceiling. A full week had passed since the party. No drama. No fights. No Maddalena dragging me into anything. Just quiet mornings like this. Peaceful, honest. I wasn’t dreaming. He stayed with me every day. We cooked, we watched TV, we made love, we held each other like the world outside didn’t exist.I pulled the blanket aside and sat up slowly, stretching my arms. There was no tension in my chest. No weight. I felt light. Calm. Like I had a second chance and I could finally live in it.After a quick stop at the bathroom, I let the shower run over me. I scrubbed gently, humming under my breath. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, tied my hair up into a bun. The air was fresh. Not a trace of tension left.When
