Emilia couldn’t believe it.

This was the same man who had been cold, cruel, and impossible for weeks,towering over her with ice in his veins and shadows in his eyes.

But now?

Now he seemed… different.

Pissed off, yes. Dangerous, absolutely.But underneath the sharp edges, there was something else. Something she hadn’t seen before.

Care. Genuine, frantic care.

Even if part of her still burned with anger for the way he had treated her, even if every sane part of her mind told her she should hate him… she didn’t.

She couldn’t.

Because here, wrapped in his sheets, with the faint scent of his cologne lingering in the pillows, she felt safe for the first time in what felt like forever.

Not just protected, but seen. Held. Guarded. And God, she hated that she didn’t hate him.

Across the room, Lucien paced like a caged animal, fury bleeding from every stiff line of his body. His hands kept disappearing into his pockets, then yanking free in restless, tight movements. His muscles were coiled, his

  • Sold To The Mafia Lord   Chapter One Hundred and Five: What To Die For

    The house was too quiet now. The kind of silence that came after a fight that hadn’t really ended.Lucien didn’t look back when he walked out of the conservatory.He couldn’t.If he did, he wasn’t sure if he’d go back in to finish the argument, or fall to his knees in front of her.Her words rang louder than the echoes of Julio’s accusations:“Because I love you, you bastard!”She had said it like a curse. Like an anchor.She had said it like a confession and a threat all in one. Raw. Unfiltered. It hadn’t been soft. It hadn’t been sweet. It had been a scream in a burning room.Lucien’s jaw flexed as he moved through the dim corridor, boots silent against polished marble. The storm outside was growing louder, wind clawing at the shutters, thunder rolling low like the growl of a warning.His steps led him toward the armory wing, where Julio had set up a new control hub, tucked into the old wine cellar. Reinforced concrete. One way in, one way out. No windows.Perfect for paranoia.Lucie

  • Sold To The Mafia Lord   Chapter One Hundred and Four: Weak Link

    The estate was no longer quiet.It growled now, low and mean. Boots thundered across marble. New men filled the halls like wolves scenting blood. Every corner of the house bristled with eyes, weapons, suspicion.Lucien stood by the library window, jaw clenched as he watched another black SUV pull through the gates. Armored. Tinted windows. Reinforcements. Power players. People who didn’t need to knock.The council hadn’t sent word, they didn’t need to. They never did when the stakes were this high.Behind him, the room buzzed with voices and strategy, Julio murmuring orders to their lieutenants while two techs unpacked surveillance gear like it was holy scripture.“Three more arrived this morning,” Julio said without looking up. “Two from Marseille, one from Naples. All requested by the Upper Circle.”Lucien nodded stiffly.“House is on lockdown,” Julio continued. “No one leaves. No one enters. Not without biometric clearance and escort.”Lucien turned away from the window, face hard.

  • Sold To The Mafia Lord   Chapter One Hundred and Three: The House That Bleeds

    The house was too quiet.Not the comforting quiet of safety, but the brittle silence of a place holding its breath. Shadows seemed longer. Footsteps felt louder. And every corner Emilia turned, she swore she could feel eyes watching, not just from cameras or guards, but from within the walls themselves. The estate wasn’t home anymore.It was bleeding.And the worst part? She wasn’t sure if it was Lucien’s blood staining it… or hers.She sat on the edge of their bed, staring at the vent above. The one Lucien had pulled the camera from. A small, jagged hole remained where the dummy cover had been pried off. It gaped like a wound, raw and violating.Every touch they’d shared in this room. Every whispered word, every moan, every time she’d reached for him in the dark,?they’d been watched. Recorded. Maybe shared.She clenched her fists and stood.She couldn’t sit and feel violated anymore. She wouldn’t.Lucien had left earlier, mumbling something about command checks and signal reports. He

  • Sold To The Mafia Lord   Chapter One Hundred And Two: A Knife at Our Backs

    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

  • Sold To The Mafia Lord   Chapter one hundred and one: Smoke Behind the Mirror

    The silence in the Wolfe estate had changed.It wasn’t the peaceful quiet Emilia had grown used to, the kind laced with soft jazz from the parlor or the hum of distant voices in the kitchen. No, this silence had a shape to it. Heavy. Watchful. Like something coiled in the walls, waiting.She noticed it first when she entered the hallway that morning and caught two housekeepers murmuring near the staircase. They didn’t even try to hide it, just stopped mid-sentence and looked past her like she was a ghost. Or a grenade.“Do you need something?” she asked, trying to keep her voice neutral.They both shook their heads and walked away too quickly.The day went on like that. Glances. Awkward pauses. Locked doors that used to be open. Even lulu, who had never liked her but used to at least pretend, refused to meet her eyes when she brought Emilia’s lunch to the sunroom.Only Mateo greeted her with warmth.He passed her in the hallway with a nod and a quiet, “Señora,” offering a small, reassu

  • Sold To The Mafia Lord   Chapter One Hundred: The Vulture’s Invitation

    The desert air was a slow suffocation, too still, too quiet. Raul Navarro stood beside the idling SUV, eyes scanning the expanse of dust and shadow. The rendezvous point was an abandoned fuel station, fifty miles south of the last paved road, swallowed by sand and time. The kind of place people didn’t stumble upon. Which meant someone chose it for exactly that reason.The sun had long since bled out behind the horizon, leaving rusted signage and cracked asphalt in monochrome shadow. His men moved in a loose perimeter, alert but calm, weapons drawn but low. Not posturing. Just ready.This wasn’t a battlefield yet.Raul lit a cigarette with a flick of his lighter. The brief flare carved sharp lines into his face, tired lines. He looked every bit the cartel don in his tailored charcoal suit, but the dust clinging to his cuffs and boots betrayed the truth. No one came out here clean.He hated being summoned.Worse, he hated not knowing who had done the summoning. The Vulture. A name wrappe
