ELENA

The first thing I felt was cold.

The second was pain.

The third was fear.

I opened my eyes slowly.

A single light hung from the ceiling.

My wrists were tied to a metal chair.

My head throbbed.

I tried to remember what happened.

The car.

The men.

Adrian.

I had been kidnapped.

My breathing became faster.

"Stay calm."

The voice came from the corner.

I looked up.

A man stepped into the light.

He was tall, dressed in a dark coat.

I didn't recognize him.

"Who are you?"

"Som

  • 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

    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. Sofia entered. "Boss." Adrian turned. "What?" "We found the sniper's vehicle." "Where?" "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.

    Isabella's eyes slowly opened. Adrian immediately moved closer to her hospital bed. "Isabella?" She looked at him for several seconds before whispering his name. "Adrian..." His expression changed. "I'm here." Her eyes moved toward me. "Who is she?" I swallowed. "I'm Elena." Isabella stared at me. "Elena..." "How do you know my name?" She looked frightened. "Your father." My heart stopped. "What about my father?" Adrian stepped closer. "Isabella, you need to tell us everything." She shook her head. "I don't have much time." "What does that mean?" I asked. She looked at Adrian. "Does she know?" "Know what?" Adrian's jaw tightened. "I don't know what you're talking about." Isabella gave him a tired smile. "You always were a terrible liar." I looked at Adrian. "What is she talking about?" He didn't answer. I turned back to Isabella. "Please. I need to know." She reached for my hand. I immediately took it. "Your father loved you very much." Tears fill

    ADRIAN The warehouse was empty. Too empty. I knew immediately I'd been tricked. My phone rang. Dante. "You came alone." "Where is Elena?" "Safe." "If you touch her—" "She's not the problem." "Then what is?" Dante laughed. "You." The lights came on. Men surrounded me. I recognized them. My own men. People I'd trusted for years. One stepped forward. "I'm sorry, Boss." My blood ran cold. "You." He lowered his weapon. "You were the traitor." "Yes." "Where is Elena?" "Somewhere you'll never find." I smiled. It confused him. "What?" "You made one mistake." "What?" "You assumed I came alone." The warehouse doors exploded open. My loyal men rushed inside. Gunfire erupted. I moved through the chaos. My only thought was Elena. Nothing else mattered. ELENA I heard the fighting outside. Dante looked toward the door. "What did you do?" I whispered. He smiled. "Nothing." The door burst open. Adrian. My

    The letter was hidden in a safe. Adrian opened it in front of me. The paper was old. Yellowed. My hands shook as I read the handwriting. I knew it immediately. My father's handwriting. If you're reading this, I'm probably dead. I covered my mouth. Adrian watched me. I continued. The person responsible isn't who you think. Trust no one in the De Luca family. My heart raced. Then I reached the final line. Elena must never know. I looked up. "Why would he write that?" Adrian didn't answer. I turned the paper over. There was another message. The key is with Isabella. I looked at Adrian. "Isabella has the key." "Apparently." "Then she's alive." "We don't know." "But someone knows where she is." Before he could answer, the mansion's alarm sounded. Adrian immediately reached for his weapon. "Stay here." "No." "Elena." "I need to know." He looked at me. Then nodded. We moved toward the security room. The screens were black. Again. "Someone disabled the ca

  • THE MAFIA DON HIRED ME AS HIS WIFE   Chapter 11 — The Rival Don

    ADRIAN I had spent my entire life learning how not to care. Caring made people weak. That was what my father taught me. My enemies taught me the same thing. But Elena had somehow managed to break every rule I'd built around myself. She was stubborn. Brave. Reckless. And completely incapable of following instructions. She was also the only person who could make me forget, even for a moment, who I was. That frightened me. Because I knew what happened to people I loved. They became targets. I stood in my office when Dante Moretti entered. "You look tired." "I am." "Because of your wife?" My eyes narrowed. "Don't mention her." Dante smiled. "So it's true." "What?" "You care about her." I walked toward him. "If you came here to provoke me—" "I'm here to offer you a deal." "No." "You don't even know what it is." "I don't care." He placed a file on my desk. I opened it. Inside was a photograph of Elena's father. My blood ran cold. "Where did you get this?"
