The Mafia Boss's PA Chapter 48: Twisted.
I didn't know how many hours had passed.The sun had disappeared. Darkness had settled outside the windows. And I was still trapped.I sat curled up on the edge of the bed, staring at the door.Waiting.Thinking.Planning.Every possible escape ended the same way.With nowhere to go.No phone.No way to contact Constantine.No way to warn anyone.The sound of a key turning in the lock made me jump to my feet.The door opened.Carlisle stepped inside carrying a tray.Food.A bottle of water.A bowl of soup.Like this was normal. Like I wasn't his prisoner. "You're going to have to eat eventually."I glared at him..He set the tray on the desk."I'm not hungry.""That's a lie.""I don't care what you think it is."Carlisle sighed. For a moment neither of us spoke. The silence stretched between us. Awkward. Painful. Finally he rubbed a hand over his face. "I don't want to fight with you."I laughed bitterly. "Then maybe you shouldn't have locked me in a room."His jaw tightened. "There is

The next morning, I woke up with a knot in my stomach. Part of it was because of the argument with Constantine.The other part was because of Carlisle.More specifically, what had almost happened.I sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes.The memory replayed itself whether I wanted it to or not.The walk by the river.The way he'd looked at me.The moment he'd stepped closer.The look on his face when I'd stopped him.I sighed heavily.Carlisle had accepted it. At least outwardly.But things weren't the same anymore.And because I knew he still had feelings for me, every interaction felt different.More complicated.More fragile.I didn't want that.Carlisle had become one of my closest friends over the last few weeks. Someone I trusted.Someone who had taken care of me when everything else in my life had fallen apart.The last thing I wanted was for feelings to ruin that.Which was exactly why I decided to take the job at the gallery. It would create some much-needed distance between me a

Day 15 in Germany.I was halfway through sketching one of the buildings from the town square when my phone lit up.Constantine.A smile immediately pulled at my lips.For the past week, his calls had become less frequent.Not because he didn't want to call. Because every time I turned on the news there seemed to be another report about Leone Industries, another update about the shooting, another reminder that someone was still trying to kill him.The attack had changed something.I could hear it in his voice whenever we spoke.The exhaustion.The frustration.The anger.I answered immediately."Hey."The second his face appeared on the screen my heart squeezed.He looked tired again. Dark circles sat beneath his eyes and his jaw was covered in stubble.It looked like he hadn't slept properly in days.Yet somehow, seeing him still made me happy."Hey, tiger."His gaze softened slightly. "You look better.""I am better." That wasn't entirely true. I still missed him. Still worried consta
The Mafia Boss's PA Chapter 45: Like Home.
There had been another attack. The words had dominated every news channel for three days. Every headline. Every article. Every conversation. SHOOTING AT C- TECH. I stared at the television screen from the living room, my coffee forgotten on the table beside me. The footage played again. And again. And again. Police cars. Ambulances. Employees being escorted from the building. Yellow crime scene tape. The reporters spoke with the excitement people always seemed to have when tragedy belonged to someone else. I hated every second of it. According to the reports, several armed men had entered one of Constantine's company buildings shortly before noon. Security had engaged them before they could reach the executive offices. Several people had been injured. No fatalities. At least none that had been reported. But that wasn't the part that haunted me. The part that haunted me was knowing Constantine had been there. Knowing he could have been caught in

One week later — GermanyThe view outside my window looked like it belonged in a fairy tale. Narrow cobblestone streets, rose-draped balconies, little cafés with steaming mugs set out on lace-covered tables. It was peaceful here. Quiet.Too quiet.I dipped the brush into a smear of pale blue and swept it across the canvas. My strokes were softer today. Slower. Like the ache in my chest had settled, but not gone away. It never really did.I had been painting nonstop since we arrived. Carlisle set me up in the sunroom of the house, and every day since, I’d been losing myself in color. I painted the streets below, the faces I remembered, Constantine’s eyes, my dreams, my fears. It was the only way I knew how to breathe without falling apart.Seven days.That’s how long I’d been here.Seven days since I left.Since Constantine stood in front of me, telling me I had to go, that it was the only way to keep me safe.The memory made my heart squeeze.I rinsed the brush and stepped back, frow
The Mafia Boss's PA Chapter 43: Weakness
I should have been asleep.I had every reason to be.The second I hit the bed, my body gave out but not my mind. My heart wouldn’t stop racing. Wouldn’t stop pulling me back to the sound of his voice. Back to my drunken confessions. I couldn't stop myself everything in me was screaming to let go and claim the love he was willing to give.I heard the faint murmur of voices drifting from outside the room, the kind that weren’t meant to be heard, and I told myself to stay. To rest. But something in me needed to know. So I slid out of bed, careful not to make a sound, and cracked the door open. Just enough. I was holding my breath as my ears focused on the voices.“Two attacks in less than a week,” Cavalon said grimly. “It’s either someone’s getting desperate, or there’s more than one person coming after you.”I felt the chill in his words settle over me like a second skin.“More than one person,” Carlisle said. “You might have a point. Think Nico’s trying to get under your skin?”Nico..

Constantine’s voice called after me, but I didn’t stop. My heart was pounding in my chest as I burst out into the cool night air. I couldn’t process everything happening inside me—the painting, the emotions, the vulnerability. It felt like too much. The streets of Paris, usually calming in their bea

After seven torturous hours in the air, the plane finally landed. The descent had been rough—turbulence shaking the cabin—and I was grateful to be back on solid ground. The sun was harsh against the runway as we stepped out, the afternoon heat wrapping around us like a heavy blanket. It was one o’cl

"Remember, it's the only way to keep her from meddling for now. It's safer for her this way," Carlisle said, his words settling over me like a suffocating weight. "I know, it's just hard to do. She's my sister." "Having family in this line of work is tough. Especially when you can't ensure they will

"Are you going to sulk all night?" Constantine exhaled in frustration. I wasn’t sulking, per se, but I had nothing good to say, so I decided to stay quiet.It was hard not to speak my mind, especially hard to hold my temper. "I was forced out of my home," I muttered, still staring out the car window.
