The air was too still.

Mia folded the last dress into the suitcase, her fingers trembling as they brushed the fabric. She didn’t own anything expensive her wardrobe was made of clearance racks and forgotten hand-me-downs but she packed each item carefully. Methodically. As if preparing for execution.

Downstairs, she could already hear the clink of cups and murmured voices. Breakfast. Like it was just another day.

A soft knock.

Rose peeked in. Her face was blotchy, her voice hoarse. “Mia, you don’t have to do this. I’ll take you away. We’ll disappear. Please.”

Mia forced a smile. “And go where, Mom? He’d find us. People like him... they always do.”

“You’re not some object to be traded!”

“No,” Mia said quietly. “But apparently, I was born to be used.”

She zipped the suitcase, stood straight, and looked her sister in the eyes. “Let’s not make this harder. Please.”

Downstairs, Cross wore a smug expression, his expensive tie knotted with care. “Well, well. You clean up

    The days that followed were oddly quiet. No dramatic announcements. No grand gestures. No new threats or reminders of ownership. Just… silence. Mia stuck to Titan like glue, his laughter the only balm to the wound inside her. He had unknowingly become her shield, her purpose, her peace. Every morning, he insisted on having breakfast in her room, dragging his toy lion by the tail as he bounced into her arms. And every night, he refused to sleep until she was lying beside him, her arms tucked around his tiny frame. To the maids, it was strange. To the butlers, mildly inconvenient. But to Arrow, it was a miracle. “You realize,” he said one morning as Mia helped Titan lace up his tiny shoes, “that boy used to scream if anyone but Gun tried to pick him up.” Mia looked up, surprised. “Even his nannies?” “Especially his nannies,” Arrow replied. “He didn’t let anyone in. And now look at him glued to your side like he came from you.” Mia smiled faintly. “Maybe he did… in another lif

  • The Mafia Boss is Hers    Chapter 10 White and noon

    The morning came cloaked in silence. Mia awoke to the gentle light of the sun streaming through the grand curtains. Titan was no longer beside her. For a brief moment, she panicked until she heard his distant laughter echoing from the hallway, likely with his nanny or Arrow. She sighed in relief, sitting up… only to find a cream-colored envelope on her nightstand. Her name was written on it in elegant gold ink. With shaky hands, she opened it. “You are to be present in the courtyard at noon. Wear white.” G. There was no explanation. No detail. Just white and noon. Something about the note made her stomach twist. She didn’t understand why, but it felt like something was coming something final. The maids came in shortly after, almost too silently, not meeting her gaze. They dressed her in an angelic white dress, cinched at the waist with delicate pearls. She looked like a bride. But she felt like a prisoner walking to the gallows. When she stepped into the courtyard, her

  • The Mafia Boss is Hers    Chapter 9- Even at it's cost

    Gun hadn’t meant to check on her. It was just a late-night walk. At least, that’s what he told himself when his feet carried him to her hallway. But standing there silently in the doorway of her chambers something inside him stirred. Mia, curled protectively around Titan, both of them sleeping soundly. The little boy’s hand was clutching her silk nightgown like a lifeline. Mia's face, though tear-stained, looked at peace for the first time in days. Gun didn’t know what it was guilt? Jealousy? Regret? The gnawing in his chest wasn’t one he recognized, and that alone made him turn around and disappear before he did something foolish… like walk in. The next morning, sunlight bled gently into her room. Titan stirred first, eyes fluttering open to find himself buried in Mia’s arms. “Morning, pretty lady,” he whispered sleepily. Mia smiled, brushing his hair back. “Morning, Baby T.” He giggled and kissed her cheek like he always did now innocent, pure, completely hers in ways she co

  • The Mafia Boss is Hers    Chapter 8- Guardian Angel

    The day had come after another one of Gun’s elaborate events. The ones written about in magazines, whispered through the lips of high society, and feared by those who knew what really happened behind those velvet curtains. Mia sat still in front of the long gold-framed mirror, watching as three women worked seamlessly around her curling her hair into soft waves, dusting her skin with the finest powders, and clasping diamonds around her throat like chains of beauty. She looked like a painting delicate, haunting, untouchable. But inside… she felt nothing like the polished jewel they were preparing. "You're glowing, Miss," one of the maids whispered. She didn’t reply. What was there to say? The gown was couture hand-stitched silk and stones imported from God-knows-where. A soft champagne color with a deep back and long train. Her heels were from a designer she used to dream of when flipping through fashion blogs in college. And now… she wore them like shackles. Every detail of her

  • The Mafia Boss is Hers    Chapter 7- Filling the Hollow

    There were moments when the world went quiet, not silent, but still. The kind of quiet where even the wind seemed to hold its breath. That’s what the garden felt like. A pause between storms. Mia sat beneath the arching wisteria tree, its soft purple blossoms hanging low like whispered secrets. Baby T was giggling beside her, hands stained with grass and crumbs from the fruit tart he had half-devoured earlier. He insisted they share everything. Even her lap. His little body curled into hers without hesitation, like it was the most natural place to be. And maybe it was. She brushed her fingers through his soft curls, trying not to think too hard. But her heart… it had other plans. Was this what it would’ve felt like? Holding her baby if life hadn’t been so cruel? Laughing in the sunlight? Watching him grow? There was still an ache inside her a hollow space left behind by grief but somehow, this little boy was settling into it. Like he’d been made for it. And it terrified her.
