Queen of Hell. The Mafia Boss’s Wife The Escape
The calm of the night was shattered by the sound of gunshots. A dry, deadly sound. Screams. Broken glass. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and burnt wood, choking the soft music that had been playing in the background at the party. Everything turned into chaos.Isabela felt her heart pounding in her chest, almost as if it were about to break through. Her eyes filled with panic when she saw her five-year-old son, Mateo, clinging to her leg with a lost look, not understanding what was happening.— Mom, I'm scared! — Mateo screamed, his voice full of terror.— Shh, my love, don’t cry, don’t look — Isabela whispered, holding him tightly. She felt tears beginning to slide down her face, but she didn’t dare let her son see them. With a swift motion, she picked up Lucia, her two-year-old daughter, who was crying inconsolably, and cradled her in her arms.Amid the chaos, the voices of the men echoed through the mansion, cold, deter

Isabela breathed heavily, her mind filled with questions, but the most terrifying answer of all was the one she dared not voice aloud.Alejandro had appeared, yes, but was he truly the one who had come to save her, or was this just another move in a much more dangerous game she wasn’t aware of?The screams and gunshots still echoed through the villa, like a reverberation that wouldn't stop haunting her mind and that of her children.The passage stretched on, becoming endless, as if it would never end. Every step she took resounded like a harbinger of something worse, and even though her children cried softly in her arms, Isabela couldn’t stop thinking about the cold stare of the men chasing them, nor that mocking voice that had said, "Where is the queen of the Moretti empire?"The queen. The queen. Was that the life she had been living? The wife of a powerful man who controlled everything from the shadows, with a power that bordered on t

The gun trembled in her hands. Not from lack of strength, but from the weight of the decision. It was a massive burden on her. Not only was she in danger, but so were her children, whose perfect world had just been shattered.Isabela felt her chest rise and fall, the air barely reaching her lungs. Her small, terrified children clung to her, unable to comprehend the hell surrounding them.Alejandro was still there, standing firm, his gaze locked onto hers. Her husband. Her love. Her curse.In her mind, Isabela couldn’t understand how she had ended up there, how she had never noticed anything suspicious despite all the clues. She had never wanted to see anything other than the love Alejandro had sworn to her.—Come on, Isabela —Dino’s voice had a sharp, mocking edge—. I know you have the guts to do it. After all, he trained you well, didn’t he?Isabela remembered seeing Dino walk by as Alejandro taught her how to use a gun. She ha

The echoing footsteps echoed like a hammer striking Dino's consciousness. His breathing was shallow, his jaw clenched, but his mind was spinning a thousand miles an hour, searching for a way out.He had failed in his attempt to overthrow the capo Alejandro Moretti.No matter how well he had calculated every move, the outcome was clear: his plan to rid himself of Alexander and make Isabela his executioner crumbled before his eyes.The Queen was still standing, he could see that her knuckles were white from her pressure on the trigger, but not because she hesitated to fire. Her gaze did not have the confusion of a woman caught between two paths. It wasn't that, Isabela knew exactly who she was and whose side she was on. For a second she thought she could pierce her loyalty for Alejandro and get her to be the one to eliminate him.That would have been her victory, but she came closer to shooting him than her husband. And if she ha

The black car stopped in front of the mansion. Alejandro barely waited for the vehicle to come to a complete halt before opening the door and stepping out with firm strides.The house lights were on. He knew Isabela was there, waiting. His queen. His love. The only person in the world who had the power to destroy him.He entered without announcing himself, his footsteps echoing against the marble floor.Isabela was in the living room, standing with her back to him, arms crossed, her body tense. Her curls cascaded down her back, and her silhouette looked fragile… but he knew she was much stronger than she seemed.When she felt him enter, she slowly turned around.—"Did you finish?"— she asked, her voice restrained.Alejandro felt a blow to his chest. There was fire in her eyes, but also pain.—"Yes,"— he answered in a deep voice, taking a step forward.—"Did you kill him?"He remained silent fo

The mansion was silent. A suffocating, dense silence, like the prelude to a storm. Alejandro stood in the living room, watching Isabela’s shadow at the foot of the stairs. His queen. His love. His everything.She now seemed as distant and far away as a ship in the open sea, while he watched her from the shore of his anguish at losing her.She was the only woman who could destroy him with a single word. Isabela was his true love, his illusion, his life.Since he met her in Greece, this woman had gotten under his skin. She was his poison, his antidote. Without her, his life had no meaning.That’s why he called her his queen—because she was. And everyone knew it.Dino had ruined everything.Alejandro thought with fury about what that bastard Dino had done. He had torn away the veil of ignorance that Alejandro had so carefully placed over his wife’s eyes.Now, Isabela knew the truth. She knew who he was. She knew t

The echo of shattered glass vibrated through Alejandro’s office, but it wasn’t enough to calm the storm devouring him from within. With a clenched jaw and eyes clouded by rage, he walked to the window overlooking the back garden. The night was dark, but not as dark as his soul at that moment.He pulled out his phone and dialed again.—I want Dino. Alive. I want him in front of me before the night is over.The voice on the other end hesitated.—Boss… that won’t be easy. The guy disappeared.—Then find him! What the hell do I pay you for? —His tone was lethal—. And make sure he never opens his mouth again.—Does that mean we cut out his tongue, boss?—After I talk to him.He hung up with a grunt, his mind already devising all the ways he would make Dino pay for his betrayal. But for now, his priority was Isabela.She couldn’t leave. She couldn’t walk away from him.His queen.His lo

The house was calm. Alejandro had brought his children into the main living room, where the warm light of a standing lamp illuminated him as he sat on a black leather armchair. On his lap, his two-year-old daughter Lucía played with the buttons of his shirt.Next to him, his five-year-old son Mateo snuggled against his arm, listening intently to the story his father was telling in a calm, measured voice.“And then, the lion waited patiently in the shadows…” Alejandro whispered, a faint smile on his lips. “He wasn’t in a hurry, because he knew the prey always makes mistakes when it’s scared.”Mateo furrowed his brow.“Did the lion catch the traitor, Dad?”Alejandro gently stroked his son’s head with a calculated tenderness.“He always does. Patience is the key, Mateo.”The boy nodded, engraving those words in his young mind. Alejandro knew that someday his son would understand the true meaning of that lesson.

Queen of Hell. The Mafia Boss’s Wife Silken Claws, Steel Mind
Moretti Mansion — 10:45 p.m.The sound of the engines fading away left an echo that refused to die. The flashing lights of the police vehicles still danced in the reflection of the windows, like a reminder of the unreal.A dense, suffocating stillness filled the entire house.Isabela slowly descended the marble staircase. The heel of her sandals echoed hollowly, funereally. She stopped on the last step, her gaze lost in the now-closed gate. The air seemed to weigh tons.—They took him... —she whispered, more to herself than to the servants and guards who pretended not to breathe behind the columns.She let the glass in her hand fall. There was no shatter. The crystal rolled and clinked softly, as if it too knew better than to break the silence.Then, the unthinkable happened.A dry, savage roar burst from her chest. She ripped off her silk coat and threw it to the ground. She stormed into the house as if h
Queen of Hell. The Mafia Boss’s Wife The Fall of the Untouchable
The city trembled under the constant rain, as if trying to wash away its own conscience. But for Vittorio Salvi, the water cleansed nothing. Each drop was a reminder of his failure, of the impunity that rose with the face of a king and the perfume of a queen.Salvi’s office, usually a mess of papers and spilled coffee, had been transformed into a kind of war room. On the corkboard, photos pinned with red tacks drew lines toward names, locations, front businesses, legal aliases and street nicknames.Alejandro Moretti was at the center, of course, but the real challenge was the figure holding everything from the shadows: Isabela Moretti. But she was clean and untouchable.Salvi didn’t say it to anyone, but he had begun to fear her more than Alejandro himself.— That damn woman has steel teeth and lava in her veins instead of blood. Alejandro’s luckier than he thinks to have her as a wife…— I’d like to think my wife woul
Queen of Hell. The Mafia Boss’s Wife A Personal Matter
The rain fell without strength, but with persistence, as if the sky refused to let the day dawn in peace.In an old shed on the outskirts of the city, hidden under a false name and documents bought with the urgency of fear, Ramiro tried to sleep with a pistol under his pillow and his conscience devouring his soul.He had done the unthinkable.He had talked.He had signed papers, handed over documents.He had sold out Alejandro Moretti.His former boss.The man to whom he had sworn loyalty.Now, he hoped the law would protect him from what was coming next.But the law didn’t know the whole picture.Alejandro Moretti wasn’t alone.A soft knock on the door made him sit up abruptly.Three knocks. Then silence.—“Who is it?” he shouted, his voice rough.—“It’s me, brother.” The voice on the other side of the door was warm. Familiar.Ramiro breathed out, approached the door w

Isabela’s kisses had calmed, for a moment, the whirlwind of thoughts assaulting his soul.Alejandro had always prided himself on staying one step ahead of his enemies, but he had never imagined the enemy would be living under his own roof.That he had unknowingly opened the doors of his home—and his heart—to him.Alejandro valued Ramiro. He considered him his greatest ally, a friend.— This damn business destroys loyalties and affections — he murmured to himself.Looking at Isabela sleeping beside him, Alejandro felt a hollow in his stomach.The room was dimly lit, illuminated only by the faint glow of the moon seeping through the linen curtains.Isabela slept deeply, wrapped in white sheets, her serene expression contrasting with the storm Alejandro carried inside.He had loved her body with desperation, like someone clinging to a last breath before drowning.But neither her skin, nor he
Queen of Hell. The Mafia Boss’s Wife Shadows in Suit and Tie
Villa Moretti woke up under an overcast sky. The sea, which usually roared with poetic strength, seemed unusually silent that morning. As if it too sensed that something ominous was coming.Alejandro had been awake since before dawn. He hadn’t slept well since Salvi’s name reappeared on his radar.He checked every message, every email, every file, as if he could catch a ghost before it slipped through his walls.Sitting in front of the large window in his study, his eyes were fixed on the fog over the cliff. In his lap, the Protocollo Nero dossier lay open.A map of connections, allies, enemies, possible traitors, and dormant accounts in tax havens. Each page, a piece of his empire. Each red mark, a target.—Did you get any sleep? —asked Isabela, walking in with a silk coat and her hair still damp.Alejandro closed the dossier and slid it back into the safe.—Sleep is for those without enemies at cour
Queen of Hell. The Mafia Boss’s Wife Legally Mortal
The Moretti villa in Costa Esmeralda looked like something out of a painting. The sea crashed elegantly against the cliffs, bougainvillea hung from the balconies, and the Italian sun bathed the stone façade as if blessing every inch of the property.But Alejandro didn’t trust perfect places. Nor did he trust weeks that were too quiet. His instinct told him he couldn’t rely on the apparent calm. An enemy could appear from anywhere.Since his return to Italy, he had followed the protocol: reappear as a businessman, cleanse his image in society through charity events, discreet visits to his lawyers, and zero contact with the past.A resurrected ghost in Italian suits and diplomatic manners.And yet, something felt… off. Something in the air unsettled him, as if the wind was warning of a storm, even though the sun reigned high in the sky.—"What’s worrying you, Alejandro?"—Isabela asked, approaching him as he stood on the
Queen of Hell. The Mafia Boss’s Wife The Return of the King
The journey back to Italy was as pleasant as it was safe.On a private jet, Alejandro and his family returned without setbacks, leaving behind Greece and a person they had grown to appreciate very much.Miguel.He had decided to stay in Greece with his woman, who was expecting his child.At first, Alejandro didn’t like the idea. Miguel had served him since he was very young, loyally by his side for years.But convinced by Isabela, Alejandro let Miguel go so he could marry Katherine, his former nurse, and start his family in Greece.Miguel would not serve Nikos; his loyalty was only to Alejandro.Melina, at her son Nikos’s request, got him a job at the Italian embassy. Miguel was now an honorable citizen with no criminal past.Grateful to Melina, Isabela left a friend behind—free from the hell she herself wished to escape.While Alejandro and his family arrived at their mansion in Cos
Queen of Hell. The Mafia Boss’s Wife Time to Return
The sun slowly descended over the Greek horizon, tinting the columns of the Mikelos mansion in gold, as if time wished to linger a few more sacred seconds in that twilight moment.Isabela sat on the upper terrace, the one that opened directly to the Aegean Sea, where the sea breeze carried echoes of her childhood among ruins, bougainvilleas, and memories that hurt and caressed all at once.The air smelled of jasmine and hot stone, of history and broken promises. Her father’s mansion stood tall, surrounded by vineyards that stretched across the hills, as if the past tried to hold her tight.And yet, despite being surrounded by people who had watched her grow and appreciated her, despite her last name and her story, Isabela no longer felt at home—she felt like a guest in that enormous mansion.Her brother Nikos laughed in the music room, accompanied by his fiancée and by Alejandro and his children, Mateo and sweet little Lucía.
Queen of Hell. The Mafia Boss’s Wife The Decision of Nikos, the Heir of Shadows
In the discussion between the Mikelos sisters, there was an involuntary witness. Nikos.He hadn't meant to overhear, he had returned to the mansion with the intention of talking to Isabela and asking her some questions.His fiancée was in agreement. She was having a good time with Isabela's children. Nikos's fiancée was a school teacher, she loved children and found Mateo and Lucía fascinating.Although he heard everything, he didn't mention a word to anyone about what he'd overheard.That night, he dined with Alejandro, whom he liked very much, and the entire Moretti family. Fífi was not invited to the dinner.The morning light broke through the windows of the house, tinting the linen curtains in golden tones.Nikos had woken up early and was watching the sea horizon from his room. His fiancée was still asleep, but he had spent the night awake, torn between the ghosts of the past and the urgent need to act.Hi
