Lina’s POV

I don’t remember getting out of the building.

The only thing I remember is hands on my arms. Cold air. Someone said “clear” in my ear like I was part of the equipment being moved.

The car smelled like leather and gun oil. I kept waiting for another shot to come through the window, for glass again, for Carlino to shove me down. It never came. That almost made it worse.

He didn’t look at me the entire drive. Not once. His phone was already in his ear before the doors were fully shu

  • Sold to the Mafia king    Chapter 136: Perhaps ghosts don't deserve peace

    Carlino’s POVWhen Ruciano snatched Lina’s mother’s phone, I almost stepped out of the shadows.I couldn’t let anyone destroy the life she had fought so hard to build. The peace she had tried to wrap around our children like an armor.Erla and Rotha stood frozen by the doorstep, watching the chaos unfold before them. Their tiny faces were pale with confusion, their young minds unable to understand the storm erupting around them.That was enough.I stepped forward instinctively, but a hand gripped my arm and yanked me back into the shadow before the light could expose me.“What the fuck are you doing, Ace?” Kaden’s voice sliced through the tense air.I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. My thoughts tangled together violently inside my head as my chest rose and fell with heavy breaths.Finally, reasoning returned.“Let’s leave,” I muttered coldly.“Yeah. We should,” Kaden agreed without hesitation. “It’s for the best.”We walked back toward my car, but before we got far, more commot

  • Sold to the Mafia king    Chapter 135: Ruciano came back

    Carlino’s POVMaking that decision hadn’t been easy, but for once, I wanted to believe she could fight for herself. Lina had never been weak. Letting Ruciano return to her life could ruin the fragile peace she had built over the years, but I was willing to take that risk. I wanted to trust her strength instead of constantly stepping in to save her.I remained inside the house directly opposite hers, watching silently from behind drawn curtains. I had bought the place the moment I moved to California. The decision had been impulsive, driven by one thing alone—I needed to stay close to her without her ever knowing.All this time, no one in that house had ever seen me leave or enter mine. I existed like a ghost on the other side of the street, blending so perfectly into the shadows that my presence became invisible.I had watched her the entire day. Everything had been normal. The same routine she followed every other day unfolded exactly the same today, and for a while, I allowed myself

  • 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

    Lina’s POVThe new house had no echo. That was the first thing I noticed the morning after we arrived. No long marble corridors swallowing footsteps. No distant voices carried through chandeliers and stone. Just quiet walls, soft lighting, and the faint hum of security systems hidden beh
