Lucien didn’t let go of her.

Not when his men stumbled in through the estate gates like ghosts of a battle they didn’t remember.

Not when one collapsed at the threshold, mumbling apologies through cracked lips.

Not when another dropped to his knees and vomited at Lucien’s feet, shaking, glassy-eyed.

“Boss… we don’t know what happened…” one of them slurred.

Lucien didn’t answer.He didn’t need to.

The truth was already thick in the air, bitter, tainted, poisonous.They’d been drugged. Every last one of them. And there was only one person who’d had access. Who’d smiled at him with honeyed lips while she stirred death into their wine.

Isla.

He should’ve carved her apart the second she walked in. Instead, he gave her a room. A drink. A fucking moment of trust.He would not make that mistake again.But now wasn’t the time for fury. Or vengeance. That would come soon enough.

Now, only she mattered.Emilia. In his arms.

Her body was limp, trembling, like a wounded bird that hadn’t yet realized it

This chapter was heavy, emotionally, psychologically, and viscerally. We witnessed the aftermath. The blood. The betrayal. The way Lucien held Emilia like she was the only thing grounding him in a house built on chaos. For once, the monster wasn’t in the violence, it was in the silence, the fear in Emilia’s eyes, the way she flinched at the blood on his sheets. But he didn’t let go. Lucien carried her through the wreckage, past Isla’s corpse, past the shattered pieces of control he’d spent years building. And Emilia? She let him. Because in the middle of hell, his arms were the only place that felt safe. This chapter was about protection, but also realization, for both of them. Lucien can’t be the cold-hearted king he used to be. Not with Emilia in his world. And Emilia? She’s starting to see the man behind the monster… and maybe, just maybe..

  • Sold To The Mafia Lord   Chapter Thirty-Seven: Hideaway

    The jet sliced through the clouds, a silver ghost against the early dawn sky. Emilia sat by the window, one leg tucked beneath her, her gaze fixed on the blur of stars disappearing behind them. The world below felt distant, cities, enemies, names she’d only started to understand. They were above it now, suspended between where they’d been and whatever came next.Lucien sat in the pilot’s seat, silent and still, his hands steady on the controls. The hum of the engine filled the quiet space between them. Julio had seen them off on the tarmac like a soldier watching his commander march into exile. Only he knew where they were headed. And that was how Lucien wanted it.Emilia glanced at Lucien again. The bandage at his side was tight, blood just beginning to stain through. He should have been resting. But instead, he was flying.For her.The thought twisted something sharp and warm inside her chest.She didn’t speak until the jet leveled out and the light above the cockpit switched to aut

  • Sold To The Mafia Lord   Chapter Thirty Six: The Vulture

    They thought he was dead.Buried beneath the rubble of his last betrayal, stripped of influence, hunted like a dog. They whispered his name in shadows, spat it between teeth soaked in vengeance. But they were wrong.He had never been easier to find, because he wanted to be found. Just not by them.The man they used to call brother, ally, friend, had become something else entirely.Now, in the underworld, he was known only as The Vulture.A name earned in blood and dishonor. Not because he circled the dead, but because he made them. Stripped them clean. Picked them dry. Left nothing but bone for the world to remember them by.And that’s exactly what he planned to do again.He sat in the shadows of a dimly lit warehouse, watching the live feed flicker across the monitors. Faces, locations, encrypted chatter on dark web networks, and flashing alerts, all stemming from one thing.A girl.Her image had gone viral through underground channels within hours, Catalina’s last parting gift.Emil

  • Sold To The Mafia Lord   Chapter Thirty-Five: Low Altitude, High Voltage

    The jet was already waiting when they arrived.Private. Black. Dangerous, just like the man who would be flying it.Emilia stayed quiet as Lucien handed their bags to Julio, who gave only a slight nod before stepping back into the shadows. No one else knew where they were going. No guards. No goodbyes. Just silence, the kind that usually came before a storm.“You good?” Lucien asked, glancing at her as he opened the cabin door.She nodded once, lying. Her stomach was tight, her pulse jumpy. Not from fear. Not even from leaving. But because he was there. Close. Tense. Bleeding confidence even through his bandages and the weight of exhaustion hanging on him.Lucien climbed the steps first, and Emilia followed, eyes on the narrow curve of his back, the flex of his muscles beneath the black shirt. He shouldn’t be moving like that, not after taking a bullet. Not after nearly bleeding out.But Lucien Moretti didn’t believe in pain. Or weakness. Or limits.Inside, the jet was sleek, dimly lit

  • Sold To The Mafia Lord   Chapter Thirty-Four: The Watcher

    They called him dead.Buried under the weight of Lucien Moretti’s past sins. Erased from records. Forgotten like a ghost that never mattered.But ghosts don’t vanish.They linger.They wait.And he had waited long enough.The feed flickered again.Her face.Emilia Romano.It was always her now. The girl Lucien bled for. The girl Catalina tried to weaponize before her spectacular downfall. A pretty pawn in the middle of a war she never asked for, one that had yet to truly begin.He leaned forward, shadows dancing over the sharp lines of his face as the screen steadied. The image was grainy, pulled from a hacked security feed, probably a safehouse tucked in one of Lucien’s lesser-known territories. Emilia sat on the couch, arms folded over her chest, expression guarded. Still recovering. Still unaware.The fool thought the battle was over.Lucien had buried Catalina. Burned through the Alvaros. Painted the streets with blood. All to reclaim what he believed was his.But he missed somethi

    Emilia woke to the sound of rustling.For a moment, her mind was suspended somewhere between sleep and memory, caught between the image of Lucien covered in blood and the rasp of his voice when he fell to his knees.But then her eyes blinked open, and she saw him.Lucien.Standing by the closet, shirtless, the gauze at his side stained deep red. His movements were slower than usual, calculated and quiet, as he folded a black shirt and dropped it into an open duffel.He was packing.And he was doing it alone.Her heart leapt in her chest. “Lucien…”He turned instantly, eyes snapping to hers. That cold, sharp awareness in them was dulled now, but not gone. Pain clung to him like a shadow, but so did something else.Relief.“You’re awake,” he said.She sat up slowly, wincing as her joints screamed in protest. “You’re awake too. You’re bleeding. You should be resting.”“I’ve had worse.” He crossed the room in three long strides, crouching at the edge of the bed. “Are you okay?”“Yes.” She

    Lucien hadn’t opened his eyes in over twenty-four hours.The doctor said he was stable. That the bullet hadn’t hit anything vital. That the bleeding had stopped. But none of that mattered when she couldn’t hear his voice. When she couldn’t see the fire in his eyes.She sat beside him, curled up in the chair, knees tucked to her chest, unable to sleep. She hadn’t changed clothes since the warehouse. She barely ate. Her hand rested against his as if her touch alone could anchor him here, could call him back from wherever his mind had wandered.“I’m not leaving you,” she whispered, voice cracked from hours of silence. “You don’t get to burn the world for me and then check out. That’s not how this ends.”His face was still pale, bandaged and bruised, but even unconscious, he looked… relentless. Like even death would think twice before touching him.She brushed her thumb over his knuckles, the ones that had been bloodied on Catalina’s face.Emilia swallowed the tightness in her throat. She

    The SUV hurtled down the road, tires chewing up pavement like the devil was at their heels.Emilia sat in the backseat, Lucien’s head in her lap, her hands trembling as she pressed down on the wound at his side. Blood soaked through her fingers, hot and terrifyingly endless. He was pale. Too pale. But his eyes were still open, barely.“Stay with me,” she whispered, brushing the matted strands of hair from his forehead. “Don’t you dare die, Lucien. Not now.”He didn’t speak. Just grunted, teeth clenched, his breathing ragged. His jaw was tight with pain, but he hadn’t made a sound since they’d pulled him off Catalina.Julio was in the front seat, barking orders into a burner phone. “Yes, now. The doc should already be waiting. No, we don’t go to the estate. Safe house. The one in Monteverde.”Emilia stared down at Lucien, but her mind was still back in that room.In the red silk.The blood.The sound of Catalina’s skull cracking against the stone wall.Lucien had become something else i

  • Sold To The Mafia Lord   Chapter Thirty: Fire In His Veins

    The warehouse exploded before the first shot was fired.Lucien didn’t flinch.Flames erupted across the dockyard, sending a plume of black smoke curling into the night sky. The chaos was perfect. A distraction, loud and brutal, exactly the kind Catalina would never expect from him.“Move in,” Lucien ordered, voice cold as ice, his gun gripped tight in his gloved hand. “Now.”His men poured forward, shadows in the smoke. Explosions were still rumbling from the far end of the yard, and the sharp echo of gunfire cracked like lightning across the harbor.Lucien moved with precision, slipping between metal containers and rusted crates, each step calculated. His mind wasn’t on the bullets flying or the bodies dropping. It was on one thing.Her.Emilia.Catalina had her.And Catalina had made a fatal mistake thinking that would end him.Lucien’s jaw clenched. He didn’t need revenge. He needed annihilation. He needed Catalina’s empire in ruins. Her name wiped from the underworld like it had ne

    The storm inside him had a name now.Catalina.Lucien stood at the head of the war table, eyes burning with a stillness more dangerous than rage. Every man in the room could feel it, the shift in the air, the silent promise of blood. This wasn’t strategy anymore. It was personal.“She has Emilia.”The room fell silent.No one dared speak.Julio, standing at his right hand, barely breathed.Lucien’s voice was quiet. Controlled. But beneath that calm was a fury that seethed with every breath.“She called me,” he continued. “Told me she took her while we were attacking the Alvaros. The hit was a setup.”Julio’s jaw flexed. “She played us.”“She used the Alvaros as bait,” Lucien said, fingers tapping the map. “Lured us out. Took her while I was distracted.”One of the younger men, Tomas, a sharp one, shifted nervously. “Boss… you think she wants to trade?”Lucien’s laugh was humorless. “No. Catalina doesn’t trade. She wants to destroy.”Julio leaned in. “We go to her directly. No more game
