The Enigmatic Mafia Boss Chapter 105
Sierra’s POVThe waves roll into the shore, and a breeze kicks up the tendrils of my hair. I tuck them behind my ears and run my hand along Lucas’s back. He’s against my chest, snug in the baby carrier, fast asleep. There’s nothing like his skin, his breath wafting across the space under my chin built just for him. It’s a huge comfort to focus on him, to keep his happiness and well-being in sight instead of falling apart. The swishing of footsteps in the sand are familiar. The tread of those feet, the ambling confidence, could only be Jay.“You all right?” He appears at my shoulder, a comfortable distance away.“Just thinking.” A lot of thinking since I got back from seeing Flint. My mind is in a tailspin—has been since he left me sobbing in a heap at the FBI office. Every time I remember he’s in prison forever, I want to burst into tears or throw up. I’m on a roller coaster, and I can’t figure out how to get off. This tiny, little guy pressed to my chest is my stabilizing force.“Y

Flint’s POVAttachments have never come easy for me. One way or another, people let you down. My father, Lorcan’s mom, Lorcan—all of them fucked me over. Saving Sierra is the only time in my life when I’ve let someone down by doing the right thing. This decision feels like shit, so it’s no wonder I’ve never bothered before. Who would choose to have their heart ripped out?When I’m called for my first visiting hour at the federal prison, I debate having them tell Sierra to go home to her kid. But the only remedy to this terrible ache is likely her, even if the relief happens through a glass partition. I’m weak, so fucking weak when it comes to her. I travel to the cubicles like a man walking the gangplank.Yeah, I’ll feel better gazing into those whiskey eyes. Then when she leaves, my chest will burn a hell of a lot worse. She can’t stay; I can’t go.I take the seat across from her, and we scan each other in silence. A frown mars her face, and she picks up the phone. After a second, I

Sierra’s POVMy heart pounds, and I drum my chipped nails on the metal desk. There are two windows to the right. Outside them is a hallway. People wander past, but they’re faceless, nameless, and none of them distract me long enough to forget why I’m here, what’s at stake.Sook is supposed to be coming in with the paperwork for a deal. Anywhere in the five- to ten-year range and she thinks we should take it. Part of me wants to snatch the deal out of her hands and sign it immediately, anything to guarantee I return to Flint and Lucas someday. The other part wants to tear it up and tell them if they listed thingsIactually did, I’d be a lot happier.Happier.What a stupid, stupid word.We were so close. So, so close. I press my fingers into my forehead and try to block out those thoughts. That path is gone. Now I have to focus on what I can get, what I can have.The evidence and charges they’ve piled on me are unreal. Most of it, I either don’t remember doing or didn’t do.Even from the

Flint’s POVThe next morning, I fill Lena in on my sudden trip abroad. While she holds Lucas, she searches my face, trying to figure out if there’s any hidden meaning. One of my texts went through, but I don’t have any idea if the second one did.When I land in Cape Verde, Jay is at the airport to meet me. Sierra insisted he stay here to keep everything on track with the casino, even after she got arrested. Sook told me that no matter what happens to Sierra, she wants me and Lucas to have the life we planned to have together. Fuck that.Fuck that.Not being able to talk to her myself, to sort through this shit as a team, is driving me insane. “You heard anything?” I ask Jay as we drive to the island house.“No. Did you think I would?”“Nah.” I sink deeper into the leather seat. I’d want the element of surprise. I’m sure he does too. Since our last conversation ended in a shootout, it’s hard to be confident where we stand. Out the window, palm trees and rocky hills pass by in a blur.“
The Enigmatic Mafia Boss Chapter 101
Flint’s POVWhen the phone beside my bed rings, I answer it before the noise wakes Lucas. He’s not sleeping well without his mother here, but I sure as hell didn’t tell her that. She would have been on the first plane back without freeing herself from her anchor of a father.“Flint De Luca?” the female voice on the other end of the phone asks while I rub my eyes and get my bearings. What time is it?“Yeah. Who’s asking?”“Sierra Evans asked me to call you and relay information to you. My name is Sook Park, and I’m Ms. Evans’s lawyer.”My heart beats a staccato in my chest. “Is she all right?” I glance at the crib across the room outlined by the faint glow of a nightlight.“She’s been arrested by the FBI, Mr. De Luca. They have accused her of conspiring with the PLA to commit an act of terrorism on American soil.”I frown and rub my forehead. “That’s fucking ridiculous.”“The evidence the FBI has accumulated is”—the line quiets—“significant.”“Get her out on bail or whatever you need t
The Enigmatic Mafia Boss Chapter 100
Sierra’s POVBeing in the office again is strange. Familiar and foreign at the same time. My father has been roaming around, but I’ve avoided speaking to him whenever possible. He doesn’t have a place in my life anymore. Anytime he tried to make a personal comment about Flint or Lucas, I shut him out. We’re not friends, and we’re barely a family.I thought my mother might stop in to see me since she and my father are living together again. Lilly gave me the gossip about them when I checked in with her at Reception this week.My phone rings, and I glance at the call display. I break out in a grin as I prop it up and accept the FaceTime request. Flint and Lucas pop up on the screen. He has him supported with pillows, so it looks like they’re sitting side by side.“Happy Friday.” He smirks and checks his watch. “What, maybe four more hours until you achieve freedom from that place?”“Yes! We sign the papers at four thirty today to turn everything back over to my father and whoever he’s n
The Enigmatic Mafia Boss Chapter 99
Flint’s POVDespite the twenty-four-hour security I’ve insisted on having here in Switzerland the last few weeks, I can’t escape this nagging sensation in my stomach, louder than a whisper, not quite a roar. That sixth sense has never steered me wrong when I’ve listened to it, and it’s going off like crazy.The stupid part about this unease is that it’s being overridden on a daily basis by an overwhelming satisfaction. Sierra has agreed to give her father one week in Chicago to get the business in order for the transition, and then she’s out—gone for good.Things have been ticking along in Switzerland for the last few weeks between me, Sierra, Lena, and Lucas. We’ve already paid for the renos to the property in Cape Verde, and Jay and his family are flying there this week to oversee the build. We greased some wheels and got approval to construct a hotel and casino on her waterfront property. It’ll be fucking glorious.Sometimes I wonder if that’s my problem. There isn’t something com

Sierra’s POVOnce, when we were in Ireland, he said that line reminded him of me. Sometimes his almost-degree in literature reaped surprising benefits. I haven’t heard those words in years, but those moments with him are my most vivid memories. Us at our happiest. Looking back, I don’t understand how I didn’t recognize his love. Blinded by youth and inexperience, I guess. His feelings are so clear now. Uncomplicated and perfect. My heart lodges in my throat.He frames my face with his hands before his lips find mine, and everything else fades away, becomes muted.“I’m so glad you’re here,” I whisper when I pull back, my free hand cradling the side of his face. “How did you find us?”“Tom had an old architectural drawing of the house in his front pocket. The kid”—Flint indicates the person at the top of the ladder—“dropped out of architectural school to take this job. He saw what I would have never seen.” A ghost of a smile flicks across his face. “Redeemed himself for being a piss-po
The Enigmatic Mafia Boss Chapter 97
Sierra’s POV The room is pitch-black and soundproof. Whoever is out there must have cut the power to the house and disabled the backup generator. None of us know the target of this massacre. It could be me, Eric, my father, even Flint.Flint as the mark makes my stomach flip. Where’d he go and what’s he doing? Jay claims he doesn’t have any details either. His phone died about an hour ago, but we weren’t able to get a signal anyway. The panic room is built under the basement.With my gaze pinned to the ceiling, I hope no one with a gun discovers the trapdoor and concealed staircase in Lucas’s room. It’s a steep, winding decent meant only for one person at a time.Jay was almost too broad to make it. Even now, having navigated it, I can’t believe the passage exists. Who is up there? What do they want?How will we know when they’re gone?Lucas makes a snuffling noise and snuggles into my chest, trying to find food. Soon we’ll have to take a chance and leave. We can’t let him starve, an
