Carlino’s POV

By the time we sealed the estate, I trusted no one.

Not the guards on the gates. Not the men in the control room. Not even the ones who had bled for me before. Damien’s absence sat in the air like smoke you couldn’t see but still inhaled and tasted.

“Lock internal comms to close the loop,” I told Niel as we walked. “No outgoing signals without my word.”

“You think he left backdoors?” Niel asked.

“I think he stood beside me for eight years while hiding the truth.” My jaw tighte

  • Sold to the Mafia king    Chapter 134: From the shadows

    Carlino’s POVCalifornia didn’t feel real the first time I came. Not after everything. Not after the blood, funerals, wars, executions, and crowns heavy enough to crush a man alive.Yet here I was, standing across the street from a small white house with chipped paint near the mailbox and flower pots hanging by the porch. A normal house. A peaceful house. Lina’s house, her home.My hands stayed buried inside the pockets of my coat as I watched the curtains shift slightly from the evening breeze. The neighborhood was quiet. Safe. Children rode bicycles farther down the street while some old man watered his lawn like the world had never known violence.It felt distant from me. Like I didn’t belong anywhere near it.Maybe I didn’t.My gaze lifted toward the second-floor window. A warm yellow light glowed behind it. She was in there. Alive. Breathing. Free.For years, that had been enough to keep me away. I had promised myself I wouldn’t interfere with her life anymore. That I wouldn’t dr

  • Sold to the Mafia king    Chapter 133: The cruelty of finally letting go

    Lina’s POVAs he walked farther away from me, he continued fading, until I lost sight of him.Not literally because I could still see the outline of his back disappearing into the distance, tall and composed like he hadn’t just ripped my chest open. But everything around me blurred slowly after that. The sounds of children laughing. The evening breeze. The rustling leaves above us.All of it became distant.I could only hear my heartbeat. Loud. Painfully loud.It echoed inside my ears like something breaking apart over and over again. My chest hurt so badly I almost pressed my hand against it to make sure my heart was still there.Because it genuinely felt like Carlino had taken it with him again.Years later…And he still had that kind of power over me.My throat tightened painfully. I tried swallowing it down. Tried forcing myself to breathe normally. But God… How was I supposed to breathe after hearing him say there was no “we” anymore?How was I supposed to stand there pretending

  • Sold to the Mafia king    Chapter 132: There's no we anymore

    Lina’s POVSo he was the one who had fought Ruciano. He was the one… how could I not think of this?“Y… you have been the one in the shadows all this while. You even go to Rotha and Erla's school. Gracious good Lord.”I used my hand to rub my face.“We need to talk,” I said after exhaling. “Baby, you both should go play with Lucy over there, and don't move away from there. I would be watching you from over here, okay?”“But mama—” Erla tried to argue.“Erla,” I interrupted softly. “Please. Do this for me and keep an eye on your sister.”Rotha gasped dramatically. “Why do I always need supervision?”“Because last week you tried to chase somebody’s dog home.”“It liked me!”“It nearly bit you.”“That’s because Erla screamed and scared it!”“I screamed because you touched a strange animal!”“It wagged its tail!”I closed my eyes briefly.Carlino looked down, and I could swear the corner of his mouth twitched faintly. That alone nearly destroyed my composure.“Girls,” I warned carefully.

  • Sold to the Mafia king    Chapter 131: The man at the park

    Lina’s POV I stared at Agatha, silently feeding on every word she said. She was right. If Carlino had truly left that world behind… would I even survive in the new one he created for himself? Would it finally be peaceful? Or would chaos simply wear a different face this time? Yes, I loved him. That was the problem. I loved him enough to be able to let myself destroy if I wasn’t careful. But my children? No matter how deeply I loved Carlino, I could never drag Rotha and Erla into danger just because my heart refused to let go. I released a long breath, my fingers tightening around the glass of water in my hand. Agatha watched me quietly before speaking again. “Lina, emotions are complex. What makes us human is how we're made up, the emotions we feel, and how we control those emotions so they don't control us,” she said subtly. “I…” My voice faded. “Listen to me, Lina. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm not saying it's stupid to feel this way. I'm not saying loving him could cage y

  • Sold to the Mafia king    Chapter 130: Between memory and madness

    Lina’s POVI just couldn’t wrap my head around everything that was unfolding this morning.“Lina, are you okay?” Nico asked as he switched off the gas, turning his full attention to me.“Nico, I… I… I…” My words failed me as tears began to fall. How is this even possible? I thought bitterly.I sank onto a nearby stool, sobbing uncontrollably.“Lina, Lina… whoa—what’s wrong? Why are you crying?” he asked, confusion settling across his face.He had no idea what to do. I didn’t answer him either.Why was I even crying for a man like him? For Carlino?Isn’t this what I always wanted? To leave him and raise our—no, my kids—on my own? Now that I’ve achieved it… why does it hurt this much? Why can’t I just live carefree like I used to? Why…?I shot up abruptly. “I… I need to—no…”I ran out of the building, Nico’s voice calling after me to stop, but I didn’t. How could I?If anyone asked why I was crying, what would I even say? That I was crying over a man I was once traded to… even after lea

    Lina’s POVI waited. One second passed. Then two. Three. Four. Time stretched strangely inside the room, each breath scraping against the silence like broken glass.
