“No!” The word tore out of Isabella before she could stop it.

But Lorenzo didn’t flinch as he had already made the call, setting things into motion. With men like him, once decisions were made, they were never undone.

“Lotenzo! You don’t understand,” Isabella said, her voice rising now, panic breaking through her control. “You can’t just take him like that, he’s not part of this world!”

“He became part of it the moment he was born mine.” Lorenzo replied, his cold and steady gaze remaining fixed

    The car didn’t stop until they were deep to Villa Nero on the quiet outskirts of Milan. It was sleek, dark, and untouchable. Built with black stone and glass, it carried the cold, commanding elegance that mirrors Lorenzo himself. For Lorenzo and every other person who has connections with it, Villa Nero wasn't just a home, it was a fortress where power lives… and secrets don’t escape. The car drove through steel gates and armed guards. The mansion was equipped with layers of security that no one crossed without permission or consequence. It reeled to a stop in front of the glistening front lawn.The moment the car halted, the doors were already being opened.“Boss…” the valet began“Clear the area, no one comes near without my approval” Lorenzo cut in sharply.The men moved instantly.Matteo was out of the car before he could process it, his small hand still clutching Lorenzo’s shirt as if letting go meant everything would fall apart again.Lorenzo noticed but he didn’t comment, he

    The gunshot cracked through the night, shifting everything. Lorenzo turned fast, too fast for the eye to fully catch as his arm tightened around Matteo, pulling the boy hard against his chest as he twisted his body…shielding him.Then a sharp impact hit as a bullet tore into Lorenzo’s side, he let out a low, controlled grunt but he didn’t fallnor even slow down.“Get down, Now!” he barked.This time, Matteo listened, the boy dropped, crouching behind the SUV door as Lorenzo shoved him there, positioning his own body between the child and the gunfire.Chaos erupted around them with Lorenzo’s men returning fire with brutal precision. One went down, then another, the third dropped behind the second car.But the attackers weren’t retreating rather they were relentlessly pushing forward.“Lorenzo, you’re hit!” Sofia’s voice cut sharply through the phone.“I’m fine.” he mustered be he wasn’t because bllod was already seeping through his shirt, warm and steady.But it didn’t matter, nothing

    The night air was cold and deadly. Lorenzo stepped out of the car without hesitation or fear just like a man who had already decided how this would end. Behind him, doors slammed open in unison as his men followed, armed, silent and waiting for the command that would turn tension into violence. Across the empty stretch of road, the black SUV idled, its headlights cut through the darkness, blinding and provocative but Lorenzo’s gaze didn’t waver. “Stay behind me,” he said calmly. But his men spread out anyway, they knew this wasn’t just a confrontation. It was a setup. From the phone pressed to his ear, Sofia’s voice came through, sharp and controlled. “Six visible,” she said. “There are two more behind the second car that just pulled up.” Lorenzo’s eyes flicked slightly to the left, he didn’t turn or react but he saw them. “They're definitely waiting for something,” Sofia continued. “This isn’t just a simple exchange.” “I know,” Lorenzo replied, his voice quiet. The

    The city didn’t sleep, it watched from the rooftops and tinted windows, from silent cameras mounted where no one thought to look Milan pulsed with quiet surveillance. And tonight, somewhere beneath that glittering surface, a war had just begun.Inside a dimly lit apartment across the city, Sofia leaned back in her chair, her eyes were fixed on the glowing screens in front of her. There were six monitors positioned in different angles.The screen was lined up with traffic cams, street feeds and private security grids she definitely wasn’t supposed to have access to. Her fingers moved lazily across the keyboard, but her eyes were sharp and focused.“Come on…” she muttered under her breath.A grainy image sharpened on one of the screens. It was a black SUV with no plates of course. “Amateurs.” Sofia smirked faintly.Her fingers moved faster now, pulling up adjacent feeds and tracking the vehicle’s movement across multiple cameras. It had appeared twenty-three minutes ago outside Matteo’

You weren’t there. You didn’t see what I saw. You don’t even know what they’re capable of…” Isabella shook her head, backing away from him.“Then tell me,tell me what I don’t know.” The sharpness in his voice cut through her panic.She froze, because she couldn’t at least not yet. Not without risking everything.“Or I will find my own way.” Lorenzo took a slow step toward her.Her breath hitched.“You already are,”

  • The Mafia Boss's Estranged Wife.    Chapter 6: Fractured Protection

    Way before Isabella was dragged back into Lorenzo De Luca’s world, the illusion of her safety had already begun to quietly crack in subtle ways she didn’t immediately recognize. For all the years Isabella had lived as Elena Rossi, and had made sure of one thing which was to remain invisible.Isabella had moved around carefully making sure not to stay in one place for too long, never forming connections that could be traced and most importantly; to never do anything to draw attention to herself or her son, Matteo. She enrolled him in a small, discreet private daycare and made sure to give them strict instructions that no visitors were allowed to access her son without her permissiom, no personal information must be shared and no other forms of deviations from routine. To Isabella, that was safe and controlled enough but in her world, safety was always temporary and what she didn’t know was that she had been watched for weeks. It had started with something small; a man that always sat
