Nobody opened the door when Mia knocked. It wasn't that they weren't home; it was just that nobody inside seemed to hear her over the sound of a screaming baby and two grown men arguing at a volume that suggested they’d never heard of a closed door.

"—too hot, Enzo, you're going to burn her—"

"I tested it! I did exactly what the internet said—"

"The internet also says crystals cure cancer, that doesn't make it a fact—"

Her father knocked again, harder this time. When that still didn't work, Mia

  • The Mafia Boss’s Tiny Trouble    Epilogue — Ten Years Later

    Luna was fourteen the first time she asked to see the letter.By then, she already knew the basics of her story. Dante and Mia had been careful about it, giving her the truth in small pieces as she grew up. She knew about Elena. She knew about the note pinned to a blanket on a cold spring night and a mother who had trusted a stranger with everything she owned. She even knew about Viktor; he still visited twice a year, and over the last decade, she’d grown to actually like him in his own quiet way. He was a part of her life, but he never once threatened the title of "Dad," which belonged solely to Dante.But she’d never asked to actually read the letter until one autumn evening. She’d come home from school with a certain kind of restlessness—the kind Mia recognized immediately as a teenager finally wanting the full story.Dante pulled it from the same locked drawer where it had sat for fourteen years. The paper felt soft and worn. He sat beside her on the study sofa while she read it s

    "I’m pretty sure she’s going to wake up and ruin this peace in about five seconds," Mia whispered, a small smile playing on her lips.Dante didn't look up from the little girl curled against his chest. "She usually does."It was a Tuesday evening, and the study was quiet, lit by the soft glow of the lamps. Luna was nearly four now, and she’d long since outgrown the bassinet that used to sit in the corner of this room, but she still ended up here sometimes. On the days when the world was too loud or the house was too chaotic, she’d find her way to Dante’s armchair and fall asleep against his shoulder, as if she still remembered this was the first place she ever felt safe.Nearby, Mia was working at the desk. She still handled the household schedules, but lately, her focus had shifted to something she’d started the previous year—a small foundation to help families struggling with debt. It was the kind of practical support her own father had never had, and she poured herself into it with

  • The Mafia Boss’s Tiny Trouble    Chapter 49 — An Unexpected Guest

    "I wasn't invited." Viktor Kozlov didn't wait for Dante to speak. He just stood there at the gate, dressed down and looking smaller than the man Dante remembered. He didn't have the usual Kozlov entourage or the stiff, formal air that usually came with his name. "And I understand if you want me to leave. I only heard about the wedding from Ilsa, and I couldn't just stay away, knowing my daughter was in that garden celebrating something this big without me."Dante looked at him for a long beat. He thought about the last few months—the quiet messages, the updates through Ilsa, the way Viktor had never pushed for more than Dante was willing to give. The tension from the docks hadn't fully vanished, but it had faded into something manageable."Come in," Dante said. "But keep it quiet. She's too young to understand who you are, and tonight isn't the night for that conversation. But you can see her."Viktor’s shoulders dropped in visible relief. He followed Dante inside, walking with a car

    “You’re shaking,” Salvatore noted, stepping in to fix the lapel of Dante’s jacket. They were in the entryway of the mansion, which was the only place the household had managed to scramble together as a makeshift groom’s room.Dante stiffened. “I am not.”“Boss, your hands are literally vibrating.”“It’s cold in here.”“It’s seventy-eight degrees,” Salvatore deadpanned.Dante let out a long, slow breath, finally giving up the act. “I’ve sat across from men who wanted me dead. I’ve walked into rooms not knowing if I’d ever make it back out. None of that felt like this.”“That’s because none of that actually mattered to you,” Salvatore said. Over the last few months, he’d watched Dante slowly transform from a cold, isolated man into someone he barely recognized. “Nerves hit different when the stakes are your own happiness. It’s not a weakness, boss. I think that’s just what love feels like.”Dante looked at him. “Since when did you become the philosopher?”“Around the same time you becam

    "The guest list is a disaster," Mia said, gesturing to the two sheets of paper on the kitchen table. One was a long scroll; the other was barely a page. "Dante, you have forty-three people on yours. I have six.""My list is for people who would see their absence as a political statement," Dante replied."And my list is for people I actually like.""Those aren't mutually exclusive.""They absolutely are, considering half your list consists of rival bosses who—correct me if I'm wrong—have tried to kill you at least once in the last ten years."Dante paused to think. "Not all of them. But most, yeah.""Dante.""Fine." He crossed off three names with a sigh. "But we need some of them there for stability. If certain families feel snubbed at an event this big, it creates complications we don't need.""I get that, really. I'm not trying to ignore your world, but I don't want it to swallow the whole day. This is a wedding, not a peace treaty."Marco, who was sitting at the end of the table pr

    "Are you crying again, boss?"Dante blinked, staring at Enzo. "I am not crying.""There's definitely something happening with your eyes," Enzo insisted, ignoring the fact that he was currently standing on a chair, trying to straighten a banner that read CONGRATULATIONS in slightly crooked lettering."It's the pancake smoke, Enzo. You burned the edges," Dante replied."That's fair, actually," Marco admitted, glancing down at the tray of heart-shaped pancakes that were, in several places, more charcoal than batter. "In my defense, I was rushing. Big morning."Luna had woken up from her nap to a house that felt completely different from the one she'd fallen asleep in. By the time Mia carried her down to the kitchen, the whole house had already gathered. Mia’s new ring caught the light every time she moved her hand, and Dante found himself noticing it every single second."You said no banners," Dante said, though he couldn't really bring himself to be angry."That was for the fireworks an
