The photograph changed everything.

My father was alive.

Somewhere.

Someone had been hiding him.

And now someone wanted me to find him.

Adrian spent the entire night searching for answers.

I watched him from the doorway of his office.

He looked exhausted.

"You need sleep."

"So do you."

"I'm not the one bleeding."

He looked down at his bandaged arm.

"I forgot."

I smiled.

"You're impossible."

He looked at me.

"You make me forget everything."

My heart warmed.

Then the door opened.

  • THE MAFIA DON HIRED ME AS HIS WIFE   Chapter 20 — The Wife of the Mafia Don

    ELENA One year ago, I walked into Adrian De Luca's mansion looking for a job. I was desperate. Broke. Terrified. I thought I was going there to become a personal assistant. Instead, I became his wife. A fake wife. At least, that was how it started. Now I stood in front of a mirror wearing a white wedding dress. Again. But this time, everything was different. There was no contract waiting on the table. No five-million-dollar payment. No threat. No lie. Only love. My father knocked on the door. "Ready?" I smiled. "Almost." He looked at me. "You look like your mother." Tears filled my eyes. "I wish she could see this." "She can." He kissed my forehead. "She's here in everything you've become." I smiled. Then the doors opened. Music began. I walked down the aisle. At the end stood Adrian. He wasn't wearing black. For the first time, he wore white. His eyes never left mine. When I reached him, he took my hands. "You came." I laughed. "I told you I wou

  • THE MAFIA DON HIRED ME AS HIS WIFE   CHAPTER 19 — THE LAST WAR

    The final confrontation happened at the docks. Adrian stood across from Luciano's remaining men. I watched from a safe distance with my father and the police. Luciano's right-hand man stepped forward. "You really think you can walk away?" Adrian remained calm. "Yes." "You don't walk away from this life." "I already have." "You are a De Luca." "I am." "Then act like one." Adrian shook his head. "My family spent generations building an empire based on fear." He lowered his weapon. "I'm ending it." The man laughed. "You're weak." Adrian looked at him. "No." He glanced toward me. "I'm choosing something more important." The man followed his gaze. "Your wife?" Adrian's expression immediately hardened. "Don't mention her." "So it's true." "What?" "She changed you." Adrian smiled slightly. "She didn't change me." He looked back at me. "She showed me who I wanted to become." The man raised his gun. "You'll regret this." "No." Adrian stepped forward. "I reg

  • THE MAFIA DON HIRED ME AS HIS WIFE   CHAPTER 18- I DON'T WANT YOUR MONEY

    I spent three days away from Adrian. Three days of pretending I was okay. I wasn't. My father found me sitting alone on the balcony. "You miss him." I sighed. "Is it that obvious?" "To a father? Yes." I smiled sadly. "He let me go." "Did he?" "He gave me five million dollars and divorce papers." My father frowned. "And you accepted?" "No." "Good." I looked at him. "You knew?" "I knew he was trying to protect you." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Because you needed to hear it from him." I looked down. "I thought he didn't love me anymore." My father shook his head. "Elena, that man nearly destroyed himself trying to find you when you were kidnapped." "I know." "He was terrified." "I know." "Then why are you here?" I wiped my tears. "Because he asked me to leave." My father smiled. "Sometimes people ask us to leave because they're afraid we'll stay." I looked at him. "What does that mean?" "Adrian believes his world is dan

  • THE MAFIA DON HIRED ME AS HIS WIFE   CHAPTER 17 — FIVE MILLION DOLLARS

    I stared at the check on the table. Five million dollars. The exact amount written in our original contract. I looked at Adrian. "What's this?" "Your payment." "I know what it is." He remained silent. "Why are you giving it to me now?" "Because our agreement is finished." I looked at the divorce papers beside it. My heart sank. "You signed these?" "Yes." "Without telling me?" "I didn't think you'd want to stay." I laughed bitterly. "You didn't think I'd want to stay?" "Elena..." "No. Explain it." He looked away. "I don't want you trapped." "Trapped?" "Because of the contract." "The contract ended a long time ago." "I know." "Then why are you doing this?" He took a breath. "Because I love you." I stared at him. "That doesn't make sense." "It does." "No, it doesn't. If you love me, why are you asking me to leave?" "Because loving you means putting your safety before my happiness." I shook my head. "That's not your decision to make." "Yes, it is." "No

  • THE MAFIA DON HIRED ME AS HIS WIFE   Chapter 16 — The Truth About Me

    ELENA My father was alive. Those four words were the only thing I could think about as Adrian's car sped through the city. He sat beside me, completely silent. His hand was wrapped around mine. Neither of us said anything. We had both heard Sofia's final words. Your father has been captured. By Adrian's uncle. The man everyone believed was dead. "What's his name?" I finally asked. Adrian looked at me. "Luciano De Luca." My stomach twisted. "Your uncle." "Yes." "Why would he want my father?" "Because your father knows the truth." "What truth?" Adrian's jaw tightened. "The truth about my father's murder." I looked out the window. "So my father has been hiding all these years because of him." "Probably." "And Isabella?" "She discovered part of the truth." I looked at him. "That's why she was taken." "Yes." "And you?" He looked down. "I was next." I squeezed his hand. "But why me?" Adrian didn't answer. That frightened me more than anything. We arrived

"Abandoned two streets away." "Anything inside?" "A phone." Adrian took it. The screen was already open. One message. THE TRAITOR IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK. Adrian stared at it. Then the phone rang. He answered. No one spoke. Instead, a recording played. It was my father's voice. "Elena." I stepped closer. My heart pounded. "Elena, if you hear this, don't trust—" The recording cut out.
