Switched at the Mafia Auction Chapter 261: Stuck
~ Avelyn ~I nodded once, the motion small, almost automatic, before turning back toward the door they had come from. I could feel their eyes on my back as I moved, could feel the weight of everything we hadn’t said pressing into the space between us.But none of it mattered.Not anymore, certainly not right now.My hand found the door before I could think too much about it, my fingers wrapping around the handle as a strange, unfamiliar hesitation settled in my chest.This was it.Everything I had carried.Everything I had rehearsed.Everything I had buried and built up and held onto—It was all on the other side of this door. I exhaled slowly and pushed it open.The room was quiet but loud in my ears The steady sound of a monitor filled the space, rhythmic, unchanging, almost detached from everything else. For a moment, I didn’t step in. I just stood there, my eyes adjusting, my breath catching somewhere between my chest and my throat.And then I saw him.Whatever I had expected—It
Switched at the Mafia Auction Chapter 260: Memories I didn’t want
~ Avelyn ~By the time I parted ways with Ariana, the sky had already deepened into night, but something in me refused to rest.It wasn’t exhaustion.It was… unfinished things.The kind that don’t let you sleep no matter how tired your body is.So instead of going anywhere familiar, I checked into a hotel on the other side of the city, somewhere quiet, somewhere that didn’t hold memories I wasn’t ready to face yet. The room was neat, impersonal, the kind that didn’t ask questions. I dropped my bag by the door and sat at the edge of the bed for a long moment, staring at nothing.My mind wasn’t empty.It was quite the opposite, too full but somehow still focused on one thing.There was something I needed to do before I walked into that hospital.Something I couldn’t ignore.The next morning came quicker than I expected. I moved through it without thinking too much, like if I slowed down, I might start questioning everything again. After a brief stop at the bank, I slid the card into my
Switched at the Mafia Auction Chapter 259: Our way home
~ Avelyn ~We didn’t leave each other after the gates.That was the strange part.After everything, the distance, the silence, the damage. I thought there would be a pause. A moment where we’d run out of things to say and awkwardly part ways like strangers trying to pretend they used to be something more.But it didn’t happen.We ended up in a café not too far from the rehab center, sitting across from each other with two untouched drinks between us. The place wasn’t crowded, just a low hum of conversations and the occasional clink of cups, but even that felt distant compared to the way my attention stayed fixed on her.Ariana hadn’t changed in the obvious ways people expect.She still tilted her head slightly when she listened. Still traced the rim of her cup absentmindedly when she was thinking. Still looked at me like she was trying to read between the lines of everything I didn’t say.But there was something softer now. Something… unguarded.“I didn’t think you’d actually come,”
Switched at the Mafia Auction Chapter 258: Broken pieces
~ Avelyn ~The gates slid open with a quiet mechanical sound, but I barely registered it. My chest had already tightened, something deep inside me bracing before my mind could catch up. People began to file out one after the other—faces I didn’t recognize, voices blending into the background but none of it stayed long enough to matter.Because then I saw her.Ariana stepped out slowly, like she was testing the ground beneath her feet, like she wasn’t entirely sure the world outside would hold her. Her hair was shorter now, softer around her face, stripped of the sharp precision she used to maintain like armor. But it wasn’t that that held me still.It was her eyes.They weren’t searching. They weren’t guarded.They were quiet.Too quiet.And it broke something in me instantly.This wasn’t the Ariana I knew—the girl who filled every space she walked into, who spoke like the world owed her attention. This was someone who had been through something and came out… dimmer. Not completely go
Switched at the Mafia Auction Chapter 257: Falling apart
~ Avelyn ~The city didn’t welcome me back when the airplane touched down.It didn’t reject me either.It simply… existed.Unchanged in all the ways that mattered, and yet completely unfamiliar in the way it settled against my chest. The roads stretched out the same, the buildings stood where I remembered them, the air carried that same restless hum—but something about it felt distant, like I was walking through a memory that no longer belonged to me.Or maybe I was the one who didn’t belong anymore.I sat in the backseat of the taxi, my fingers resting lightly against the handle of my bag as my gaze drifted past the window. Streets I used to know so well blurred by, each turn tugging at something buried deep in my chest, something I had spent too long pretending wasn’t there.I didn’t let myself linger on it.Not yet.The car slowed eventually, pulling up in front of a house that felt both familiar and foreign at the same time. My heart tightened before I could stop it.Nothing had r
Switched at the Mafia Auction Chapter 256: Unfinished business
~ Avelyn ~The house felt quieter than it had any right to be. Not peaceful and definitely not calm. Just… hollow.Like something had shifted in the air and left behind a space too large for me to ignore.I stood by the window longer than I should have, my phone still in my hand, the screen dark now but far from forgotten. The words replayed in my mind whether I wanted them to or not, slipping in between my thoughts, settling where they shouldn’t.This is Aria… Kyle’s fiancée.I let out a slow breath, but it didn’t ease anything.It only made the silence louder.There was no dramatic reaction, no immediate collapse or sharp pain like I might have expected. Instead, it came in something slower, something heavier. A quiet unraveling that settled beneath my ribs and stayed there, unmoving.Of course.Of course there was someone else.Kyle had always been… steady. Grounded. The kind of person who built a life with structure, with intention. Not like me. Not like the chaos I carried with m

~ Avelyn ~Then he spoke again, “Under the bed now. Unless you want to lose your feet when this is over.”For a full second, I just stared at him. Surely I’d misheard. Xander? Helping me?But his tone wasn’t one that invited second-guessing. I dove under the bed before the thought even finished for

~ Avelyn ~I hadn’t heard from Ariana in four days.Four whole days.I checked my phone every hour before training, between stretches, before stepping on stage even in the damn bathroom like some lovesick fool. Still nothing. The last message I’d sent was still hanging there, unread, like it was m

~ Avelyn ~The sound of heels and soft bass echoed off the mirrored walls and before I even stepped through the glass doors of the training room the smell of perfume, sweat and expensive desperation hung thick in the air. A smell I was starting to recognize as the signature scent of the clubs under

~ Avelyn ~I wasn’t thinking straight anymore. I bolted in any direction to find her, to find my way back, and that’s how I stumbled into a room.To be honest, I didn’t expect the door to open. But it did and I rushed straight in like the devil was on my heels.My brain took half a second to proce
