The door clicked shut behind him with finality. Locked. Not to trap her, God, never to trap her, but to seal them into a moment that could no longer be avoided.

Emilia stood near the center of the room like a live wire, arms crossed, eyes burning with fury and fear. The chandelier light cast over her skin like porcelain, cracked and radiant.

“You’re going to tell me everything,” she said, her voice steady, even as the pulse visibly fluttered at her throat. “No more half truths. No more locked doors. You promised me no more secrets.”

Lucien dragged a hand over his jaw, stubble scratching against his palm. He hadn’t slept more than an hour in days. Not really. Not since Raul looked him in the eye and said, “He knew I pledged myself to you. He knew everything that goes on in your house.”

Emilia waited. She always waited… until she didn’t.

“I’m not protecting you to control you,” he said quietly. “I’m trying to keep you alive.”

Her expression didn’t change. “Then stop treating me like glas

The cracks are no longer invisible, Lucien and Emilia’s sanctuary has been breached, and the danger is no longer just outside their gates. It’s in their walls. In their bed. Watching. This chapter marks a shift in the war: from the streets to the shadows inside the estate. Trust is fraying, the stakes are climbing, and the cost of love might be exposure. Thank you for staying with me through every twist and betrayal. The next chapters will test everything, allegiances, sanity, and the price of power. Who do you think the traitor is? —XO, JW 🖤

  • Sold To The Mafia Lord   Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three: Kira’s Offers

    Lucien’s voice cuts through the war room like a blade.“Shut down the ports. Every one of them. I want eyes on every shipment that moved in the last forty eight hours,” he snaps, fingers braced against the table. “If someone paid for her, money moved. Find it.”His men scramble, voices overlapping, screens lighting up with maps, manifests, intercepted calls. The room hums with urgency, controlled chaos.Lucien doesn’t look up when the door opens.He already knows who it is.Kira steps inside quietly, one hand resting instinctively on her stomach. She pauses just inside the doorway, watching him for a moment, the hard line of his shoulders, the fury barely leashed beneath command.“Lucien,” she says.He lifts a hand without turning. “Not now.”“I won’t take long.”That makes him look.Their eyes meet across the room.The men feel the shift instantly. Lucien gestures sharply. “Give us the room.”No one questions it. Chairs scrape, boots move, doors close. Within seconds, it’s just the t

  • Sold To The Mafia Lord   Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty-Two: The Wrong Man

    Lucien watches Emilia’s father. The man is chained to a metal chair in a concrete room that smells of rust, damp, and old fear. His wrists are bound tight, his ankles bolted to the floor. He looks thinner than Lucien remembers. Older. But his eyes, sharp, mocking, defiant, are exactly the same.Lucien steps forward slowly.The sound of his shoes against the floor echoes like a countdown.Emilia’s father lifts his head and squints, then smiles.“Well,” he says hoarsely. “If it isn’t the devil himself. Took you long enough.”Lucien stops directly in front of him.“Where is she?” he asks calmly.The calm is the most dangerous part.Emilia’s father chuckles, then coughs. “Straight to business. No ‘hello,’ no more threats yet? You’re slipping.”Lucien doesn’t react.“I’ll ask once more,” he says. “Where is Emilia?”The man tilts his head, studying him like this is some twisted game. “You really think I’d know?” he asks. “If I had that kind of access, do you think I’d be rotting here?”Luci

  • Sold To The Mafia Lord   Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty-One: When The Devil Comes Looking

    Lucien did not raise his voice.That was how they knew it was bad.The estate had transformed into a war room within minutes, screens lit, phones ringing, men moving at a pace that bordered on panic. Lucien stood at the center of it all, still as stone, eyes sharp and burning, his mind already three steps ahead of everyone else in the room.“Shut down the ports,” he said calmly.“Freeze all air routes within a hundred mile radius.”“Every house that breathed Santiago’s name in the last six months, I want their doors kicked in.”“Yes, boss.”“Yes, boss.”“Yes, boss.”Fear moved faster than loyalty ever could.Lucien turned toward the wall of monitors. Footage replayed again and again, two men, clean, professional, efficient. This wasn’t a random grab. This wasn’t reckless.This was planned.“She was taken to send a message,” he said quietly.One of his lieutenants swallowed. “To who?”Lucien’s jaw tightened.“To me.”His hand clenched at his side, knuckles whitening. Emilia had been al

  • Sold To The Mafia Lord   Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty: The Room Without Her

    Lucien stepped fully into the bedroom.The lights were off. The curtains were half drawn, letting the faint glow of the estate lamps bleed through the glass. The room smelled faintly of her, soft, warm, familiar, but it felt wrong. Not empty. Not abandoned.Disturbed.Something in his chest tightened the moment he crossed the threshold, a subtle constriction he ignored at first. He had walked into rooms filled with blood and death without hesitation, but this silence felt sharper. More personal.His eyes moved first, scanning the space the way they always did when he entered a room, out of habit, out of instinct, out of survival. He catalogued everything in seconds.The bed was untouched.No indentation on the mattress. No crease in the sheets. No sign she had been there recently.His jaw tightened.A flicker of irritation crossed his face, quickly smothered. Emilia was unpredictable when she was upset. She could be stubborn. Withdrawn. Cold when she wanted to be.“She must be in the

  • Sold To The Mafia Lord   Chapter Two Hundred and Nineteen: The Unease

    The ride back home felt heavier than the war itself.Lucien sat in the backseat of the armored car, one hand resting on the gun still holstered at his side, the other gripping the edge of the seat like he was holding onto the last thread of control he had left. The battle had been won, brutal, loud, merciless, but victory didn’t soothe him. Not tonight. Not after what he’d done to Santiago. Not after the words he’d spoken, the final shots he’d fired. Some victories stained the soul more than defeat ever could.The convoy slowed as they approached the estate gates. The night air was thick with dust and the metallic scent of gunfire still clinging to their clothes. Men lined the entrance as if awaiting a king’s return, bloodied, exhausted, but standing tall.When Lucien stepped out of the car, they straightened even more. The lamps around the courtyard illuminated him, his black shirt streaked with dirt and dried blood, his jaw shadowed with exhaustion, and yet…the strength in him still

  • Sold To The Mafia Lord   Chapter Two Hundred and Eighteen: Taken in Silence

    Emilia sat on the floor of her room, her back pressed against the wall, legs stretched out in front of her. The soft hum of music floated through her headphones, but it barely reached her ears. She had slipped into her robe hours ago, seeking comfort in its warmth, but even that couldn’t soothe the tight coil of anger and frustration twisting in her chest.Lucien had her.Without a word. She had thought he is be back, thought they would have a quiet night to recover from everything… but instead, he had left for war without a proper goodbye, leaving her alone to wrestle with the emptiness of his absence and this feeling of being used. Her fingers absently traced the grooves in the wooden floor. She wanted to scream, to pound the walls, to make the world hear the frustration she’d been bottling up for weeks. But she couldn’t. She could only lie there, letting the music pulse through her like a faint heartbeat in the dark.Emilia clenched her fists, eyes closing tightly, trying to will
