The Billionaire Mafia's Fallen Bride Chapter Twenty-One: The Enemy at the Door
The gunman lifted his weapon.Inside the study, Sofia didn't know what her mother had seen.But she knew fear when she saw it."Mother?"Elena grabbed her hand."Don't move."The first shot shattered the window.Sofia screamed as Elena pulled her down.Glass exploded across the room."Get down!"Another bullet struck the bookshelf.Sofia covered her head."Who are they?""I don't know.""You just said—""I know what I said."Elena dragged her toward the door."There's a passage behind the cabinet."Sofia stared at her."A passage?""Your father built it years ago.""Why?"Elena's eyes met hers."Because he knew one day someone would come for us."Another shot rang through the estate.Footsteps erupted in the hallway.Guards shouted.Doors slammed.The house descended into chaos.Elena pushed the cabinet aside.A narrow opening appeared behind it.Sofia stared."You knew this was here.""Yes.""Why didn't you ever tell me?""Because I wanted you to have a normal life."Sofia almost lau
The Billionaire Mafia's Fallen Bride Chapter Twenty: The Truth Has Teeth
The first thing Sofia heard when her phone came back on was Alessandro's voice."Don't trust anyone."She froze.The screen flickered once before the recording disappeared.Sofia stared at the phone.Her heart pounded."Alessandro?"She pressed the screen again.Nothing.She called him.One ring.Two.Three.Then the call ended.She tried again.This time, the phone went straight to voicemail."No..."She sat on the edge of her bed, gripping the phone tightly.Only a few hours ago, she had been smiling because of him.Now fear was crawling slowly beneath her skin.She opened the unknown message again.Don't trust the man you love.Her thumb hovered over the screen.She hated the words.Hated the doubt they created.Most of all, she hated that a tiny part of her was beginning to wonder whether there was something Alessandro hadn't told her.A knock sounded at the door.Sofia quickly locked her phone."Who is it?""Me."Matteo.She took a breath."Come in."The door opened.Her brother
The Billionaire Mafia's Fallen Bride Chapter Twenty: The Lie Between Them
The photograph landed on Matteo's desk at precisely nine in the morning.He stared at it without touching it.It showed Alessandro leaving the Romano estate three nights before Sofia disappeared.The photograph was clear.Too clear.And beneath it was a handwritten note.He knew where she was before anyone else did.Matteo's jaw tightened."Who brought this?"His lieutenant shook his head."It was left at the front gate.""Any cameras?""Nothing."Matteo picked up the photograph.Something about it felt wrong.But fear was louder than instinct."Find out where he went that night.""Yes, sir."After the man left, Matteo stared at the photograph again.Then his eyes moved toward the closed door.He hated Alessandro.He had been raised to hate him.But Sofia's words from the night before kept returning.He saved me.For the first time, Matteo didn't know which truth to believe.---Across the city, Alessandro stood in front of the same photograph.Except his was different.His showed Sof
The Billionaire Mafia's Fallen Bride Chapter Nineteen: Blood Before Love
The Moretti convoy stopped so abruptly that gravel scattered beneath the tires.Sofia's heart dropped.She knew that car.She knew the men stepping out of it.And then she saw him.Matteo.Her brother slammed the door behind him and stared across the road.His eyes found Sofia first.Relief flashed across his face.Then he saw who was standing beside her.Alessandro.The relief disappeared."What the hell is he doing with you?"Sofia stepped forward."Matteo—""Stay where you are."His men immediately raised their weapons.Across the road, the Romano soldiers did the same.Dante swore beneath his breath."Everyone lower your weapons."Matteo ignored him."You took my sister."Alessandro stepped in front of Sofia."I didn't take her.""You were found with her.""I rescued her."Matteo's laugh was cold."From whom?""The men who kidnapped her.""And how do I know you weren't behind it?"Sofia's eyes widened."You think Alessandro kidnapped me?""I think a Romano would do anything to wea
The Billionaire Mafia's Fallen Bride Chapter Seventeen: Safe in His Arms
The footsteps stopped outside the chapel.Sofia instinctively held her breath.Her fingers tightened around Alessandro's hand.He glanced at her only once before gently pulling her behind one of the thick stone pillars near the altar.The old chapel was too small.If anyone came inside, there would be very few places to hide.Alessandro reached beneath his jacket and quietly drew his pistol.Sofia frowned."You shouldn't.""I won't let them take you."His voice was barely a whisper.She looked at the gun in his hand, then back at his face.His expression wasn't angry.It wasn't cold.It was determined.For her.A shadow appeared beneath the crack of the wooden door.Someone tried the handle.The old hinges groaned softly.The door opened only a few inches before stopping against a broken piece of wood lying on the floor."Check inside."A man's voice echoed from outside.Alessandro slowly raised the pistol.Sofia gently touched his wrist."No."He looked at her."If they're Lorenzo's
The Billionaire Mafia's Fallen Bride Chapter Seventeen: Safe in His Arms
The first light of dawn had not yet reached the abandoned docks.A thick blanket of mist drifted over the water, swallowing the rusted cargo containers and broken cranes that stood like silent giants against the gray sky.Sofia tightened her grip around Alessandro's arm as they made their way through the narrow alley between two abandoned warehouses."Slow down," she whispered."I'm trying."His voice was hoarse.Every step sent a sharp pain through his shoulder. The sedative still lingered in his bloodstream, making his vision blur every few minutes. He hated it.He hated feeling weak.More than that, he hated that Sofia had become the one keeping him on his feet."You don't have to prove anything to me," she said quietly, sensing his frustration."I'm not."She stopped walking and turned to face him."You are."For a long moment, neither of them spoke.The wind carried the salty scent of the sea between them."You've spent your whole life protecting everyone else," Sofia continued.
