THE QUEEN’S AWAKENING

My body still hummed with the echoes of what we'd done, every muscle trembling on the thick rug beneath me. The firelight danced across my sweat-slicked skin, highlighting the bruises his fingers had left on my hips, the faint red marks where his teeth had grazed my throat. I lay there, chest heaving, staring up at the ornate ceiling as if it held answers to the storm raging inside me. Rage boiled hot and fierce, rage at my father for selling me like chattel, rage at Dante for taking what was

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   EYES ON ME

    Dante’s hand was still wrapped around mine, warm and steady, but the air between us had shifted the moment he spoke.“You don’t have to thank me,” he said, voice low and rough with emotion. “I will do anything for you and our baby.”Before I could respond, he leaned in and kissed me, deep, fierce, claiming. There was no gentleness in it this time; it was a raw need, weeks of fear and relief and love pouring out in the press of his mouth against mine. I returned it with equal hunger, fingers threading into his hair, pulling him closer. A soft moan escaped me as his tongue stroked mine, possessive and demanding.His hand slid up my side, cupping my breast through the fabric of my sweater. The touch sent heat spiraling through me, sharp and immediate.I pulled back just enough to breathe, cheeks flushed. “Dante… you know you haven’t recovered fully.”His eyes were dark, pupils blown wide with desire. “I’m strong enough to please you,” he growled. “And thank you… for this baby.”Those wor

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   THE HOSPITAL VISIT

    The next morning arrived wrapped in soft winter sunlight that spilled through the penthouse windows like liquid gold. I woke up nestled against Dante’s side, his arm draped protectively over my waist even in sleep. His breathing was steadier now, the worst of the pain lines on his face softened by rest and medication. A few days had passed since the rescue, and while the bruises and cuts were still vivid, he looked more like himself, strong, determined.We had a hospital appointment today. Dante had insisted, refusing to wait even one more day to confirm the baby was safe after everything that had happened. His scars weren’t fully healed, but nothing could stop him when it came to protecting what was his.After a quiet breakfast of fruit, toast, and herbal tea, my stomach still sensitive but improving, we headed downstairs. Dante moved with careful steps, refusing the wheelchair the doctor had suggested, but he leaned on me just enough for me to feel useful. In the back seat of the ar

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   EGOROV FAMILY GALA

    I finally stepped out of the bathroom, skin still damp from the shower, eyes red and puffy from the tears I’d let fall in private. I had cried until my throat burned, until the fear and heartbreak had emptied themselves out, leaving only a quiet resolve. I wouldn’t force this baby on him. I wouldn’t beg. But I also wouldn’t give it up. Not for anyone.Dante was sitting on the edge of the bed now, watching the door like he’d been waiting for me. The moment our eyes met, he stood, slowly, wincing from the pain in his ribs and the bruises that still painted his body in ugly shades of purple and yellow.“Are you okay?” he asked, voice rough with concern.I nodded, not trusting my voice yet, and walked past him toward the other side of the bed, needing a little distance to steady myself.He followed immediately, moving faster than he should have. Before I could sit down, his arms wrapped around me from behind, gentle but firm, pulling me back against his chest. I froze, surprised, hands st

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   THE REVEAL

    The penthouse bedroom was bathed in soft afternoon light when I woke up, my cheek pressed against the edge of the mattress where I had dozed off at the foot of the bed. My neck ached from the awkward angle, but the discomfort faded the instant I lifted my head and saw Dante awake, propped against the pillows, staring at me with that quiet, intense gaze that always made my heart stutter.He smiled small, tired, but real. “I saw how peacefully you were sleeping. I didn’t want to wake you, and I can’t carry you to a better position yet.”I sat up slowly, rubbing the back of my neck. “It’s fine. I didn’t even realize I’d fallen asleep there.”Dante’s eyes softened. “I guess my dad and brother left already.”“Yes,” I said, standing and stretching my stiff limbs. “They didn’t want to disturb your sleep. Your dad said they’ll be back by the weekend.”He nodded, then glanced at the housekeeper who had quietly entered and was arranging a light lunch on the low table near the window, chicken br

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   GENUINE WARMTH

    Maxim and Ivan followed me out. We settled on the large sectional sofas overlooking the city skyline. The afternoon sun poured in, making the room feel bright and hopeful.Maxim looked at me with genuine warmth. “I’m glad you’re both fine.”Ivan rolled his eyes playfully. “Dad, you worry too much. He’s the one who chose this path.”Maxim’s expression softened. “You won’t understand until you have your own child.”I placed a hand unconsciously on my stomach, the small swell still hidden beneath the oversized hoodie. The thought of telling Dante about the baby once he was stronger made my heart race with both fear and longing.Ivan noticed my distraction and tapped my shoulder. “Alessia? I’m talking to you. You zoned out.”“Sorry,” I said, forcing a smile. “I’m just thinking about… a lot. Everything that’s happened and…”Ivan stood and extended his hand. “Let’s go get some fresh air outside.”I took it gratefully.He glanced at his father, who was already absorbed in his phone. “We’ll b

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   INCAPACITATED

    The penthouse was wrapped in a fragile kind of peace three days after the nightmare at Alexei’s compound. Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, painting the marble floors in warm gold and making the city skyline below look almost gentle. I sat by Dante’s bedside in the master suite, legs tucked under me in the oversized armchair, watching the steady rise and fall of his chest. The bruises on his face had begun to fade from angry purple to softer yellow-green, and the worst of the cuts had been stitched and bandaged by the private doctor who visited twice daily. He still looked battered, but he was alive and fine.I reached out and brushed a stray lock of hair from his forehead, my fingers lingering on his warm skin. The quiet moments like this were the ones I clung to, the ones that reminded me why I had walked into hell with nothing but a blade and a prayer.A soft knock sounded on the bedroom door.I glanced at Dante, he was still deeply asleep, painkillers keeping

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   TRIP TO TOKYO

    The sharp trill of Dante’s phone sliced through the quiet of our bedroom like a knife. I groaned, still heavy with sleep, burrowing deeper into the pillow. My body felt deliciously sore in all the right places from last night’s “punishment,” and the last thing I wanted was to open my eyes.Dante sh

    I sipped my juice, watching him through the half-open partition. The way he moved, confident, commanding, yet never cruel. The way his men straightened when he spoke, listened without interrupting. The quiet respect they gave him.He was going to be a father. The ultrasound pictures were folded in

    Then he pulled me against his side, arm around my shoulders, fingers idly tracing patterns on my thigh. “What other languages do you speak?” he asked, out of genuine curiosity.“Spanish, fluent. Mandarin, conversational but not perfect. Arabic… enough to negotiate and understand most business talk.
