It had been two days since Detective Sarah Chen was dragged into the underground prison. Two days of systematic torture, of calculated brutality designed to break even the strongest will. The concrete walls had absorbed her screams until she had no voice left to scream with. The drain in the center of the floor had run red more times than she could count.

Now she hung limply in the metal chair, barely conscious, barely alive. Her face was so swollen and distorted that her own mother wouldn't ha

  • The Mafia Boss Is After My Life   Chapter ninety eight

    Mira sat in the hospital waiting room, the burner phone burning like hot coal in her trembling hands. Around her, the world continued moving, nurses walked past with purposeful strides, families huddled together in worried clusters, and the intercom periodically crackled with codes and announcements. But for Mira, everything had stopped. Time had frozen at this impossible moment.Her father was dying. Right now, in that room just down the hall, his heart was struggling and his body was failing, all because she had tried to do the right thing. It was all because she had chosen loyalty over survival.Her mother sat beside her, face buried in her hands, her shoulders shaking with silent sobs. Every few minutes, she would look up at the closed door of Room 304 as if willing it to open, or willing a doctor to emerge with good news. But no good news came.Mira stared at the phone screen, at Don Emilio's last message glowing accusingly in the dim light: "Time is running out, Mira. For your f

    Jems stared at her phone, her finger hovering over Mira's name. Something was terribly wrong, she could feel it in her bones, that instinctive knowledge that comes from years of friendship. The way Mira had looked at her, the guilt swimming in her eyes, the desperate way she'd fled, none of it made sense. She pressed call. The phone rang once. Twice. Three times. Four. Voicemail. Jems tried again. Voicemail again. "Come on, Mira," Jems whispered. "Please pick up." She tried a third time, her worry mounting with each unanswered ring. Finally, she grabbed her keys and headed for the door. If Mira wouldn't answer her calls, Jems would go to her house and make her talk face-to-face. Whatever was happening, they would deal with it together. That's what best friends did. "Where are you going, sweetheart?" Emily called from the kitchen. "To Mira's house. Something's wrong with her, Mom. Really wrong." "Do you want me to come with you?" "No, I'll be fine. Christopher ca

    The next morning, sunlight streamed through the windows of Ethan's mansion, painting everything in warm golden light. Jems woke up wrapped in Ethan's arms, feeling safer and more content than she had in months.They had breakfast together one last time, Christopher joining them with his usual stoic professionalism, though Jems noticed he seemed almost fond of them now, despite his complaints about their constant displays of affection."Thank you for everything," Jems said to the staff as they prepared to leave. "This weekend was absolutely perfect."Margaret smiled warmly. "It was our pleasure, Miss Jems. You're welcome back anytime."The drive home felt too short. Jems sat in the passenger seat of Ethan's car, their hands intertwined on the center console, neither of them wanting to let go."I don't want this to end," Jems said softly."It's not ending," Ethan assured her, bringing her hand to his lips and kissing it gently. "This is just the beginning. We have all the time in the wo

    Mira's heart lurched. She grabbed the phone and saw Jems' name on the screen. For a long moment, she just stared at it, her finger hovering over the answer button. If she answered, she'd have to lie. She'd have to pretend everything was fine when her entire world was falling apart. But if she didn't answer, Jems would worry. With trembling hands, Mira answered. "Hello?" "MIRA!" Jems' voice was bright, excited, and full of joy. "Oh my God, I had the most amazing day! Ethan taught me how to make lasagna and it was so fun and romantic, and then we—" "Mira? Are you there?" Mira realized she hadn't said anything. Her throat felt tight, like someone was squeezing it. "Yeah," she managed. "I'm here." "You don't sound like yourself," Jems said, concern creeping into her voice. "Are you okay?" Mira was silent. Tears were streaming down her face again, but she bit her lip hard to keep from making any sound. "Mira, talk to me. What's wrong?" "I'm not okay," Mira finally whispere

    The black SUV pulled up to Don Emilio's mansion, tires crunching on the gravel driveway. Two of the masked men dragged Mira out of the vehicle. Her legs were shaking so badly she could barely stand, and they had to carry her up the front steps and through the ornate double doors.The interior of the mansion was exactly what Mira expected from a crime lord, expensive, ostentatious, and dripping with wealth that had been obtained through blood and suffering. Marble floors, crystal chandeliers, and priceless artwork on the walls. It was beautiful and terrifying all at once. They led her down a long hallway and stopped in front of a heavy wooden door. One of the men knocked twice."Come in," a voice called from inside.The door swung open, and Mira was pushed into what appeared to be a private office. And there, sitting behind an enormous mahogany desk with a glass of whiskey in his hand, was Don Emilio himself. He looked exactly like the monster from Jems' nightmares, with cold eyes, a c

    "Go brush your teeth and take a bath," Ethan said, pressing a kiss to Jems' forehead. "I'll call you when breakfast is ready."Jems nodded and headed back upstairs to Ethan's room. The moment she walked through the door, memories of last night came flooding back in vivid detail. Ethan's hands were on her body, his lips trailed fire across her skin, the way he'd whispered "I love you" over and over, the feeling of him inside her, and the overwhelming pleasure that had consumed her entirely.Her face turned absolutely scarlet. She ran to the bed and threw herself onto it, burying her face in the pillow that still smelled like both of them, and let out a muffled squeal of embarrassment, joy, and disbelief that it had actually happened.Her phone started buzzing insistently on the nightstand. She grabbed it and saw Mira's name flashing on the screen. Taking a deep breath to compose herself, Jems answered."FINALLY!" Mira's voice exploded through the speaker. "Do you know how many texts I'
