Lucian

A day later, Leonas presented the full report of tampering.

“It appears according to the files, a full amount of shipment was brought in the center warehouse but at the checkout only half left.” His voice was grim. This meant half was stolen before it had even left the premises.

“Who was present at the checkout? They didn’t find it odd?” I asked, my voice dark and cold.

A grim expression came over Leonas face. Something was wrong. “What is it?” I asked.

He exhaled sharply before speaking, “I went to investigate who was stationed there, both of them are dead.”

Dead?

“What do you mean?” My tone sharpened, demanding explanation.

“Those men responsible for being at the checkout were found dead in their apartments, gunshot to their head. Execution style.” He said.

A wave of anger went through me. “Why did I not hear about this?” I demanded again. These kinds of things are supposed to be reported to me right away.

“They were the newest

  • Sins of The Mafia   Chapter 69

    SiennaIt had been an hour since I hung up on Adrian.Now, the guilt was gnawing at me.I knew I’d been too emotional—too impulsive. My heart had been pounding the entire time, and now, as the silence settled in, I wished I had handled things differently. Still, the clock on my wall reminded me that I had little time to dwell. In just three hours, I had to be at the courthouse.I kept asking myself if I was doing the right thing.Was marrying Lucian truly what I wanted?But every time I replayed that question in my mind, I came back to the same answer: Yes.Lucian had been there for me these past four months—steadfast, dependable, kind. He took care of me in every way, protected me even when I didn’t ask for it. And he never once tried to take advantage of me. Not like the other guys who only cared for surface-level affection. Lucian never pushed me. He made me feel safe.This wasn’t just a favor.It was something I wanted—for him, for us.Maybe I sounded immature, maybe I was rushing

  • Sins of The Mafia   Chapter 68

    SiennaI paced back and forth across my living room, the soles of my feet silent against the cold floor. My untouched pancakes sat on the table, long gone cold—just like my appetite. I'd made them hours ago in a desperate attempt to distract myself, hoping the mundane rhythm of mixing batter and flipping them would settle the storm raging in my chest. It hadn’t worked. Not even cleaning the kitchen cabinets and reorganizing my spice rack could silence the tremor in my hands.Adrian had replied that he’d be free in an hour. That hour was almost up now. I’d checked the clock a dozen times in the past five minutes. Each passing second chipped away at my nerves until my mouth was dry and my thoughts scrambled.What the hell was I even going to say?And how would I say it in a way he’d understand? After everything with Ava, I was already exhausted. I didn’t have the strength left to explain myself to another person who might walk away. But this—this was different. This conversation would d

  • Sins of The Mafia   Chapter 67

    SiennaI stared at my ceiling as my mind was slowly becoming a nest of uninvited thoughts. I had one day to prepare for the day I always fantasized about. I wanted to get married to the right person and have the most perfectly planned event but I only got one thing right. I only got the right person but so little time. It wasn't that everything was rushed, Lucian had his reasons and so did I. My reason for rushing to this wedding was to achieve a level of independence that I could never get as long as I was alone and under the vigilance of Adrian. Understandably so, Lucian wouldn't be any different in terms of vigilance but at least I’d have boundaries. This was a business wedding and for the sake of the title we have to complete the paperwork. After all the fiasco died down, we would have a proper planned wedding. I have not spoken to Lucian about a future wedding yet but I was sure that he wouldn't object to it. However, as many hopeful thoughts bloomed in my mind, the guilt w

    LucianNico slammed a file onto my desk, interrupting my focus. I looked up from my laptop, my eyes narrowing slightly.“They’re all scheming something,” he muttered darkly.I flipped the file open and immediately stilled at what I saw—photographs of Tony, Roy, and my father. Together. In multiple meetings I had absolutely no knowledge of. My jaw tightened as I scanned through the photos.“Where did you get these?” I asked, barely hiding my surprise. We’d been searching for months and had come up empty—until now.“I contacted someone who deals with... less legal forms of information,” Nico said with a shrug.I raised a brow. “You couldn’t have done this before?”“He takes money upfront with no guarantees. I wasn’t going to bring you some dead-end lead and waste your time—or mine. So I paid from my own pocket.” He dropped onto the couch, clearly exhausted.“I see,” I murmured, eyes glued to the images. The pieces were starting to align—just not in a way I liked.“That’s John’s father i

    Lucian“Marry me.”I had no idea what the hell I was thinking when those words left my mouth. Maybe it was the way she handled that gun like it was made for her. Maybe it was the way she didn’t hesitate to protect me, even if it meant getting blood on her hands. Or maybe it was the realization that she wasn’t just someone I cared about—she was the kind of woman who could stand beside me in fire.Perfect. Dangerous. Mine.But happiness like that? It was never meant for people like me.The moment she looked at me—eyes wide, full of stunned hope—I felt the guilt slice straight through my chest. I wanted to rip my own tongue out for putting that look in her eyes. A look I couldn’t afford to keep there.But I couldn’t take it back. Not now. I had set things in motion the day I found my sister broken beyond repair. Whether Sienna was Adrian’s blood or not didn’t matter. He loved her like a sister. And hurting her meant hurting him. That was the only way to make him feel the agony he had onc

    SiennaWe stood outside a new fast food place I’d found online. After that first time, Lucian had asked me to take him to more spots like it. Sometimes it was just us, and other times Ava and Nico joined. Nico, of course, was still on his mission to impress Ava. She acted indifferent, like she didn’t even notice—but I knew better. She just liked keeping him on his toes. Watching them bicker and banter was a comedy show on its own. They were chaos. Nothing like Lucian and me.The restaurant didn’t exactly scream “five stars.” It looked more sketchy crime drama than urban retro.“You seriously want to go in there?” Lucian raised a brow at me, his voice tinged with amusement and caution.I tilted my head, inspecting the dull, flickering neon sign, the faded paint, and the eerily empty parking lot. “Yeah, no,” I said with a quick shake of my head.We turned back towards his car, but before we could reach it, a convoy of black SUVs began filling the lot like a silent storm rolling in.
