Dante bent and lifted me into his arms with careful strength. “Let me take you up. You have been standing the whole evening.”

I rested my head against his shoulder and let him carry me. The house felt even larger as he walked through the quiet halls and up the wide stairs. My body was tired in the best way, full of happiness and the soft ache of standing for so long in the beautiful black dress. He stopped in front of a pair of double doors, pushed them open with his shoulder, and carried me in

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   HAPPY NEW YEAR

    New Year’s Eve settled over the house with a soft and quiet kind of joy. Soft lights glowed along the windows and a low fire burned in the living room hearth. Outside the night was cold and clear, but inside everything felt warm and full. Riley was five months old now, a round cheeked baby with her father’s serious eyes and the pale blond hair she had taken from me. She lay on a thick play mat near the sofa, kicking her legs and making the small happy sounds that had become my favorite music.I sat on the floor beside her, one hand resting lightly on her belly while she batted at a soft toy. Six months had passed since the morning she arrived crying into the world. Those months had been the most peaceful of my life. No sudden threats. No rushing between safe houses. No heavy weight of war pressing against the windows. Dante still handled the business that needed him, yet he came home earlier most days and rarely missed the quiet evening hours we spent together as a family. The dangero

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   PERFECT

    I had just settled against the pillows with Riley in my arms when the door opened again. Maxim entered first, followed by Betty and Ivan, all of them carrying flowers and small gift bags. The moment they saw the baby their faces transformed.“Oh,” Betty breathed, eyes already wet. “She is beautiful.”Maxim’s expression softened into pure grandfatherly wonder. Ivan looked uncharacteristically quiet for three full seconds before the smile broke across his face.They took turns holding her with exaggerated care. Maxim went first, cradling Riley as if he had waited his whole life for this exact moment. “She has your mouth, Dante,” he said quietly. “But look at that hair.”The baby’s hair was fine and pale, a soft blond that clearly came from me. Everything else, the shape of her eyes, the set of her little nose, the serious furrow she made even in sleep, belonged unmistakably to her father.Ivan grinned as he accepted her next. “Dante cheated you, Alessia. She took his entire face. Poor g

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   HELLO RILEY

    Pain had become the only language my body knew how to speak. It rose and fell in great waves that stole my breath and left me gripping the sheets with trembling hands. The hospital room felt both too bright and strangely distant. Monitors softly tracked every change while nurses moved in and out with calm efficiency. Through it all Dante never left my side. His large hand stayed wrapped around mine, steady and warm, giving me something solid to hold when each contraction threatened to pull me under.“You are doing so well,” he murmured again and again, his voice low near my ear. “I am right here. Breathe with me.”I tried. Between the peaks of pain I focused on the shape of his face, the dark intensity of his eyes, the way a sheen of worry mixed with fierce determination across his features. This man had faced guns and enemies and the weight of an empire, yet nothing had ever looked as serious on him as the sight of me in labor. The thought almost made me smile through the discomfort.

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   KEEP BREATHING

    The next minutes blurred into careful action and rising pain. Eve helped me into clean, loose clothes that would be easy to remove at the hospital. A maid carried the prepacked hospital bags down to the front entrance as ordered. I leaned against the wall between contractions, panting and exhaling through the tight waves that now came with more regularity. Each one stole my breath and left me gripping whatever solid surface I could find.“I am sorry,” Eve said quietly each time a cramp peaked. She stayed close, one steady hand on my back, speaking in the same even tone she used for everything important. “You are doing fine. Keep breathing. We have time.”I wanted to believe her, yet the pressure low in my body felt enormous and unstoppable. Memories of the past months flickered through my mind while I focused on the next breath. The night Dante proposed. The way he had looked at me when he said he wanted me to choose him freely. The first time Riley’s strong kicks had made him go comp

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   MONTHS LATER

    Life had settled into a kind of peace I once believed men like Dante and women like me were never meant to know. Months had passed since the night he knelt on the petal covered patio and asked me to marry him. The war with Krasnov felt distant now, like a dark story belonging to another lifetime. The coastal safe house, the fear, the constant watching of doors and windows, all of it had faded into memory. In its place stood ordinary days filled with soft routines and the steady growth of the life inside me.My belly had become large and heavy in the third trimester. Moving took more effort. Sleeping required pillows arranged just so. Even standing too long left my lower back aching. Dante noticed every change. He still handled the business that demanded his attention, but he no longer left the house every single day. Some mornings he stayed home, sitting with me in the garden or helping me walk when my hips protested. At night he always returned, no matter how late, and rested his han

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   MY WIFE

    “We need to get dressed,” I whispered against his mouth.“We do not need to,” he answered. “We will only end up removing it again.”I laughed softly as he laid me down on the wide bed. The sheets felt cool and smooth against my bare back. Dante braced himself above me and looked at me for a long moment as if memorizing the sight. Then he lowered his head and took one nipple into his mouth.The heat of his tongue drew a loud moan from my throat. He sucked gently at first and then with more purpose while his hand pressed and rolled the other breast. Pleasure moved through me in slow waves. When he switched to the other side and sucked harder I arched upward and moaned his name. My fingers slid into his damp hair and held on.He kissed a path downward, lingering over the tight skin of my belly, whispering something soft to our daughter before he moved lower still. When his mouth settled between my thighs I cried out. He licked me with steady hunger, slow at first and then deeper, sucking
