Chapter Three

"My child died? That's not possible dad, I heard the cry of my baby before I drifted into sleep. My child can't die, I want my baby!" She cried holding her chest.

Rose walked into the ward at that instant with tears in her eyes as she quickly went to hug Mia. "My baby, trust me, you have me. I will never leave you. I'm sorry this happened!"

"Mom I heard the sound of my baby! Please tell me Dad is lying." She begged. She couldn't believe that her baby was dead, she felt like her life has ended.

"There is no time for this. Get ready to go home. You failed in everything. You failed as a child and even failed in motherhood. I wasn't wrong when I called you useless." Cross spat and walked out of the ward.

"I think I should just die then!" Mia couldn't bear it anymore as she then ran out of the bed attempting to commit suicide by jumping out through the window.

Rose grabbed her with terror in her eyes. "Sia where the hell are you? Come the fuck here, your sister needs you to stay alive." She screamed and Sia got in reluctantly.

"She isn't the first to lose a child. Let her die if she's that dumb." Sia spat and walked out.

Some guards Cross sent walked in and dragged Mia into the car as they then drove her home together with Rose who hugged her all through the way.

Mia sat in her room feeling more calm than she thought she could ever feel as she looked at her room ceiling, wondering when her problems would be over.

She sat there reminiscing all that had happened to her since she was a little girl, being rejected by her father because she was born before her parents married.

"Trust me to help you get out of this situation. You will heal from all of these dramas someday." Rose appeared handing a cup of tea to her.

Mia nodded as she then took the tea from her and quickly drank it all in one gulp.

***Five Years Later***

"Everyone gets down here this moment!" Cross' voice was heard all over the Linth mansion.

Mia, who was seated in her room, jerked up and ran to the inner terrace to see what was happening down in the sitting room. Seeing her father looking very aggravated got her wondering what went wrong this time. "Let's head down!" Rose said as she approached from behind.

Packing her hair into a bun, she stepped down, and by the time she arrived, Sia and every other extended family were around and seated around her angry father. "Father, are you alright? What's going on?" Mia asked hoping to know what the problem was.

"The problem is always the first to find out what the problem is. I didn't call you here to question me, you stupid child." He lashed out at her in that instant.

Mia felt attacked and had to shut up to hear him out. "Father, did someone offend you? Let me know so I can put that soul in check." Sia said in a low voice.

"No, my child, it's just a minor issue. I'm sure I will get it solved as soon as possible," he replied, and Sia smirked as she then gave Mia a look. She had proved her point.

Rose rolled her eyes at Sia's level of pettiness.

"My business is shaking. My fucking company is going down and it's all because of a bad luck that has refused to perish for years." Cross spat and Mia felt attacked but tried to keep it in.

"Cross I have had enough of you taunting Mia. She's your daughter for Christ's sake." Rose yelled. She had had enough already.

"What kind of daughter brings nothing but bad luck to an entire household?" He replied Rose.

"And what kind of father says mean and torturous things to his own daughter? I know you had me illegitimately, but I didn't ask to be born." Mia spat already crying.

"Then just die! You are of no use to me. You have never been!" He retorted deeply, and Mia staggered in pain.

Not being able to bear such anymore, she ran out of the house and drove herself out, only stopping when she got to a stream that existed in Stars Park twenty minutes away from her father's mansion.

She got out of the car as she then made her way closer. She stopped just a few feet away and let all her tears pour out of her childlike eyes. "When will I ever get out of this? This isn't living! God, please! Don't hate me so much that you keep giving me breath for no good reason."

"Mommy!" She suddenly heard and felt a tender hand holding her thigh.

Mia was stunned.

She thought she was dreaming at first until she felt the soft hands all over her two legs. She looked down and was stunned at the sight.

A very cute little boy with red curly hair was standing behind her. Their gaze locked, and suddenly, she was amused. He had huge and innocent eyes like hers which got her a bit curious. "Little one!" She said looking around. "Where is your mother?" She asked.

"I'm currently with my Mommy, my daddy is busy and doesn't have my time right now." He replied.

She laughed and then bent so she could relate better with him. "Honey, no one is too busy for their child. I think you are mistaken. If you give me your parents' details, I could help you get to them safely."

"Baby T!" A grown man's voice sounded above them and they looked up together.

Mia was stunned by his presence as she looked into his eyes and found them very comforting. She noticed his red hair and it was then it dawned on her that he could be the father. "Hi, Sir! I think you are the father. He needs you!" She said getting up only to realize how handsome this young man was. She swallowed the lump that formed in her throat as he tried to find herself back. When she looked around, she was shocked to see guards all over the place. Stunned, she pulled back from Baby T.

It then dawned on her that aside his personality that seemed comforting to her, he wasn't an ordinary man. She noticed that aside from her, there was no other person around. It was just her and these people.

"Would he hurt me?" She asked herself and kept shifting back.

"Come here Baby T. We have stayed here enough!" He spoke for the second time and grabbed Baby T.

"Why are you all here? Leave here this instant. Can't you see you are getting her scared?" Baby T said reprimanding the guards around. Hearing him, they all vanished.

Mia froze as she looked at Baby T and then at the man in front. "That's enough! Let's leave!" He said and turned to leave with Baby T.

She watched them walk away, but when they got a bit far, she saw Baby T leave his father's grip and start running towards her. Bending down, she received him in her arms. "Mommy I don't want to lose you again! Can you follow me home?" Baby T requested in his innocent voice. Tears streamed out of Mia's eyes as she started getting emotional.

  • The Mafia Boss is Hers    The Fire she Carries

    Gun stood at the far end of the East Wing a part of the mansion cloaked in luxury, power, and silence. Unlike the brutal room Mia had once stumbled into, this space was clean, deadly in its elegance. Black marble floors. Velvet shadows. One wide window let in the night, and he stood in front of it like a dark god watching his kingdom.When Mia walked in, her eyes met his not with fear, but that same searing defiance that hadn’t yet been beaten out of her. She wasn’t dressed in lace or silk this time. Just a black slip dress Ava had pressed into her hands with trembling fingers. Her arms bore fading marks from last time, but her chin was lifted like a queen refusing to bow.Gun turned slowly, a half-lit cigarette in one hand, his other in his pocket. “You’re late.”“I didn’t ask to come,” she shot back, crossing her arms.He tilted his head, amused. “Still got fire in you.”“Still trying to extinguish it?”“No,” he said, stepping closer, voice low and calm. “I’m trying to understand w

  • The Mafia Boss is Hers    Chapter 18: Never should have been broken

    In a place far colder than the rest of the estate. Stone walls. Iron doors. Dim, red-tinted lights. Her breath grew shallow. She was about to turn back… when she heard it. A voice. Guttural. Pleading. Followed by the sound of metal scraping. Then… a scream. She froze. More voices. Low murmurs. Then laughter. Male laughter. And one voice deep, smooth, commanding. Gun. She tiptoed closer, heart hammering like a war drum. She reached a thick wooden doorway slightly cracked open. She dared a look through the slit. And instantly regretted it. A man naked, bloodied, trembling was chained upright to a metal cross in the center of a dimly lit underground room. Blood streamed down his chest. His face was swollen. He was barely conscious. Around him stood five men. One held a glowing rod.

  • The Mafia Boss is Hers    Chapter 17: Another Rule

    The drive back was quiet. Not the peaceful kind. The charged kind thick with unspoken things, with pain stitched beneath skin, with anger and confusion that no seatbelt could hold in place. Mia sat by the window, her bruised body pressed against the cool glass, as if it could somehow soothe the fire under her skin. Her hands trembled slightly, the wine from earlier still bitter in her mouth. Gun didn’t say a word. He didn’t ask if she was okay. Didn’t glance her way. Didn’t acknowledge the fact that her knuckles were white from gripping the seat. Mia didn’t expect him to. But somehow… she still hated him more for it. When they arrived back at the estate, she got out of the car slowly, legs shaking in those unbearable heels. The long slit of her dress fluttered around her thigh as the night wind kissed her aching skin. He didn’t wait for her. He walked ahead, like she was nothing more than a shadow trailing behind him. The guards at the door opened it without a word. Insid

  • The Mafia Boss is Hers    Chapter 16: Own My Truth

    The silence of her room was suffocating. Mia sat motionless on the edge of the bed, her skin raw, her body aching from the brutal punishment she’d endured hours ago. Her palms still throbbed from the whip, red lines laced across them like reminders she couldn’t shake off. Every time she moved, pain radiated down her spine, across her ribs, down her legs. The maid, her maid kneeled beside her, trembling hands dabbing a warm cloth across her bruised back. She sniffled quietly, eyes glistening. “I told you not to push him,” she whispered, her voice cracking. “I warned you, Miss Mia.” Mia didn’t respond. She stared blankly at the wall. “Why did you do it?” Ava asked, her voice breaking. “Why did you try to push him? He’s not someone who bends. Not for anyone.” “Because I hate him,” Mia whispered. “I hate this place. I hate the rules. I hate how he acts like I’m nothing but a toy for Titan and a burden to him.” The maid flinched as she gently wiped down another bruise on Mia’s ribs

  • The Mafia Boss is Hers    Chapter 15: The Room He Called Obedience

    Mia never thought it would come to this. The hallway was darker than the others she’d explored in the mansion colder, quieter. Her bare feet padded against the marble tiles as two men led her forward, her hands bound behind her with soft leather straps. Not tight enough to bruise, but firm enough to make her feel powerless. They didn’t speak. Just opened the tall iron door. The scent hit her first leather, cedarwood, something colder beneath it, like silence. The room was large. Too large. A single chair sat in the center, velvet black and polished chrome. Behind it, shadows danced across the walls, shadows of things she couldn’t quite make out. Chains. Hooks. Ropes. A cabinet lined with tools that made her stomach turn and pulse race. Gun sat in that chair like a king on a throne, legs crossed, suit crisp, gaze brutal. He didn’t say anything at first. He let her look. Let her feel the room crawl over her skin like ice. Let her guess. Then finally: “You want to be sent away?
