A short time ago…

“What will you do with her, Lord Serpent?” my butler asked carefully while pouring me tea.

He stood in front of me, hands behind his back, eyes lowered in respect.

I didn’t answer right away.

Instead, I looked at him, then out the window of my office, trying to think.

Chandria…our unexpected guest, or rather, our leverage. She had only been here in my private island mansion for a few days…

“I’ll handle her myself,” I finally said.

“I just need time to think things through and e

  • Taken By A Dangerous Mafia Lord   Chapter 138: Last Words in the Dark

    Aiden’s POVVince and I squared off in the crumbling hallway, both of us drawing in ragged, desperate gasps of smoke-choked air.I could see the determination written across his face. There was no negotiation left to be had. No terms to be made. Neither of us was walking away from this unless the other was dead.“You will pay for everything!” Vince screamed, his voice cracking under the strain of his fury.He lunged forward, abandoning all caution as he leveled his firearm straight at my chest.I forced my weight onto my good leg, trying to dodge out of his line of fire, but my broken ankle buckled violently beneath me. My body was screaming in agony.“Shit!”A split second later, a deafening crack shattered the air. Vince pulled the trigger.A white-hot streak of pain tore across my shoulder as the bullet grazed my skin. Fuck!The impact nearly sent me crashing to the floor, but I caught my balance at the last second, bracing my hand against the trembling wall. Ignoring the blood soa

  • Taken By A Dangerous Mafia Lord   Chapter 137: Not Just a Dream

    Chandria’s POVI sat on the edge of the mattress, my chest tightening as I looked down at Chandria. She was completely still, her face pale against the white pillows. Slowly, I reached out, my fingers trembling slightly as I caressed her head, smoothing her hair away from her forehead.‘Please be okay,’ I thought, a desperate, frantic rhythm pounding in my veins. Just be okay.I couldn’t lose her now. Not when we were this close. I needed to be the very first thing she saw the exact moment she opened her eyes. I needed to anchor her to the life we were building, to the ring currently resting on her finger, before the ghosts of her past could drag her back into the dark.The heavy quiet of the room was shattered instantly as the bedroom door burst open, slamming hard against the wall.I jumped, swinging around in my seat. Chandria’s entire family filed into the room, their faces masks of sheer panic. Her brothers, Victor and Carlos, led the way, followed closely by her parents, Don Aur

  • Taken By A Dangerous Mafia Lord   Chapter 136: The Stranger’s Name

    Chandria’s POV“So, how was the date?”My mother’s voice was soft when we came back, laced with a hopeful eagerness that always made guilt twinge in my chest.Even now, looking at her, the word mother felt heavy and unnatural on my tongue. I couldn’t remember her. I couldn’t remember the kitchen we were standing in, the childhood photos I’d been shown, or a single moment we had ever shared before the accident. Yet, looking into her eyes, the sheer sincerity there was undeniable. She genuinely loved me. She respected the massive, invisible wall the amnesia had built between us, even if it was breaking her heart.“It was fine, actually,” I replied, forcing a small, reassuring smile.I shifted my gaze to Daniel, who was standing right beside me. He squeezed my hand, his palm warm and grounding against mine. I leaned into him just a little, letting out a quiet breath. “I’m just a little tired now. I hope it’s okay if we head upstairs to take a rest?”I didn’t want to elaborate or explain

  • Taken By A Dangerous Mafia Lord   Chapter 135: Leave Me Behind

    Aiden’s POVMy boots slammed against the concrete floor, the sound echoing like rapid gunfire down the narrow, dimly lit hallway.Beside me, Jason was practically sprinting, his breath coming in ragged, desperate gasps.We needed to get out of this fucking place.Any second, the walls around us were going to erupt into a fireball. If the charges blew while we were still trapped inside, we’d be vaporized. My mind fractured, spinning violently toward the one person who mattered.Chandria.I couldn’t die here. I still needed to see her, to hold her, to tell her I made it back. I couldn’t fathom a world where I never saw her face again, and that fear tasted like acid in the back of my throat.I glanced sideways at Jason, my chest heaving as we rounded a sharp corner. “Jason!” I yelled over the roaring adrenaline in my ears. “Is this the bomb we were planning to plant? Did something go wrong with the timer?”“It was supposed to be our play!” Jason shouted back, his face pale and slick with

  • Taken By A Dangerous Mafia Lord   Chapter 134: Do You Really Love Me?

    Chandria’s POV“Delicious,” I said, setting my fork down.I could feel a goofy, uncontrollable smile stretching across my face.“I’m glad you like it,” Daniel said.He smiled at me, and my heart did a strange, familiar flutter. I couldn’t help but notice just how handsome he was when he smiled like that. The soft lighting of the room caught the sharp line of his jaw and softened the corners of his eyes. I found myself staring, completely captivated. I didn’t want to look away. I just wanted to live in this moment, to freeze it and memorize the exact way the light hit his face, keeping the reality of us alive between us.Then, he blinked. The sudden movement broke the spell, and a slight flush crept up my neck as he realized I had been openly gaping at him.“Hey, are you all right?” he asked, tilting his head slightly, a faint, amused smirk playing on his lips.I swallowed hard, trying to play it cool, but honesty slipped out before I could stop it. “I was just noticing how handsome yo

  • Taken By A Dangerous Mafia Lord   Chapter 133: The Pendant’s Secret

    Chandria’s POVAfter I had broken down in front of Daniel, sobbing until my throat felt raw and my chest felt empty, something shifted.The wall he had kept between us, that skeptical, distant look in his eyes like he was constantly trying to solve a puzzle he didn’t want to be holding, had finally crumbled.Daniel was patient.It was a quiet, heavy kind of patience that made my heart ache. He didn’t rush me. He held my hand firmly, his thumb occasionally grazing my knuckles in a way that felt grounded and real. When I struggled with the buttons of my dress, his hands were there, steady and sure, helping me get ready.“Where are we going?” I asked, my voice still a little raspy from crying.He looked down at me, and for the first time, his smile didn’t feel like a mask. It was soft, almost relieved. “Here,” he said simply.As we stepped out of the room, he didn’t let go of my hand.He led the way, our footsteps echoing against the polished floors.I tried to focus on the warmth of his

    Aiden’s POVThe moment I saw who was calling, something inside me twisted.As much as I wanted to ignore it, I knew I couldn’t. Not this one.I wasn’t going to take that call in front of Chandria.“Excuse me,” I muttered, forcing my tone to stay calm.I turned my back on them and walked out of the

It was as if he didn’t want me anywhere near his world, as if my presence itself was an intrusion.“But, Aiden… I’m only saying this because I care about you. Y

Every word he said was still echoing in my head, like they got stamped there. I couldn’t bear to hear another one. So I pretended I didn’t. I just kept
