The Mafia Debt Chapter 115: Two Lines of Forever
AriaI couldn't look at it. The little white stick might as well have been a bomb about to detonate. My fingers trembled as I paced the cold tile floor, my bathrobe slipping off one shoulder. Three minutes. That's all we had to wait. Three minutes that stretched into an eternity, each second ticking by with excruciating slowness."Aria, you're going to wear a hole in the floor," Cassian said from the doorway, arms crossed over his chest.I shot him a glare but didn't stop moving. "How are you so calm right now?""Who says I'm calm?" He ran his fingers through his hair for what must have been the hundredth time, leaving it sticking up in every direction.I resumed my pacing, eyes fixed on the floor. "What if it's positive?""Then we're having a baby.""Just like that? No freaking out? No panic?"He caught my arm as I walked past him again, forcing me to stop. "Oh, I'm panicking, believe me. But panicking together seems better than panicking apart."I bit my lip, glancing toward the co
The Mafia Debt Chapter 114: The First Sign
Cassian's POVI watch her out of the corner of my eye as I steer us away from the airport. Aria's head leans against the window, her eyes closed, but there's something off about her silence. She looks exhausted, sure, but there's something else. I know her better than anyone, and this—this isn't just post-vacation blues."You okay?" I ask, breaking the silence.She shifts slightly, opening her eyes just a crack. "I'm fine," she mumbles. "Just tired."Fine. It's the word she uses when something's really not fine. But I let it go, for now. Maybe she's just jet-lagged from the honeymoon."You sure?" I glance at her again. Her hand rests on her stomach, almost subconsciously. "I can stop somewhere, grab us something to eat. You barely touched anything on the flight."Her head rolls to the side, a small smile playing on her lips, though her eyes remain closed. "No food. Just want to sleep."I'm still not convinced, but it softens my worry for now. I reach over, giving her thigh a gentle sq
The Mafia Debt Chapter 113: Yours, Completely
We stepped into our bedroom, the day's excitement still coursing through me. My wedding gown had been carefully slipped off hours ago, replaced by soft lace and satin that clung to my skin. Cassian's gaze hadn't left me since we walked through the door, his eyes burning with hunger."Come here," he commanded.I slipped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer. He kissed me gently at first, his lips exploring mine, tasting every moment of our first night as husband and wife. But there was nothing soft about the way his hands gripped my waist.I broke away, my lips tingling, and whispered against his ear, "I've got a surprise for you."His eyes flickered with curiosity. "A surprise?"I nodded, stepping back just enough to reach for the lace of my bralette. Slowly, deliberately, I slid it down, exposing the metal that glinted underneath. His eyes followed the movement, widening as he realized what he was seeing."You didn't..." His voice was breathless, full of shock.I smiled mischie
The Mafia Debt Chapter 112: Mrs. Romano
A week later…Today is the day I marry the man who's been my calm in the storm, my anchor when I was lost at sea. Just thinking about it makes my heart flutter in a way that feels so natural, like it's been building up to this moment forever.Am I nervous? Not even a little. The weird thing is, I thought I'd be. But standing here, looking at the dress hanging on the door, I feel... ready. Completely, utterly ready. There's no one to walk me down the aisle, no one to "give me away," but I don't care. I don't need a grand spectacle or an over-the-top ceremony.I just need him.Viktor is out of the hospital now, recovering at home, which makes today feel even more perfect. Everything has fallen into place, and it's time."Need any help with that zipper?" Emma asks, poking her head through the door. She's been my rock these past few weeks, helping me plan everything."God, yes," I laugh, turning my back to her. "How's everyone doing?""Viktor’s complaining about his suit," she says, caref
The Mafia Debt Chapter 111: Almost Normal
Aria "We can't keep wearing the same clothes," I said, eyeing Cassian's wrinkled shirt that he'd slept in. "And the fridge is completely empty."Cassian ran a hand through his disheveled hair, looking around the barren living room. "Yeah, I wasn't exactly thinking about groceries when I got this place."I walked over to him, looping my arms around his neck. "Look at us. Domestic problems." I smiled, trying to lighten the mood after yesterday's heaviness. "Just... needing to go shopping."His arms encircled my waist, pulling me closer. "Almost normal," he murmured against my hair."Almost." I pulled back slightly, meeting his eyes. "So... mall?"Twenty minutes later, we were walking through automatic doors of the nearest mall."Where first?" Cassian asked, his hand finding mine as if by instinct."Clothes," I decided, tugging him toward a department store. "I'm not spending another day in jeans."Shopping with Cassian was an experience. He trailed behind me through racks of women's cl
The Mafia Debt Chapter 110: Somewhere to Start
Viktor was out of critical care by the next morning. The doctor explained he was stable, though the road to recovery would be long.Dr. Nikolai said, his eyes tired but satisfied. "Try not to exhaust him."Viktor looked small against the hospital sheets. His face brightened when he saw us, though the effort seemed to cost him."There's my favorite lovebirds," he croaked, his voice rough from the breathing tube they'd only recently removed."You look like shit," he told Viktor, but the tremor in his voice betrayed him."Tell me what I don’t know," Viktor attempted a laugh that dissolved into a painful cough.I moved to his bedside, carefully taking his hand in mine. "I'm so sorry I wasn't here.""Don't apologize for protecting yourself, Aria. This life... it takes pieces of you if you're not careful."Cassian shifted uncomfortably beside me. "Save the philosophy for when you're not full of morphine.""The morphine makes me philosophical," Viktor countered weakly. His gaze drifted betwe
The Mafia Debt Chapter 109: Yours, Not Hers
"How is he?"Cassian pulled back just enough to look at me, his hands cupping my face as if he needed to assure himself I was real. "Not good. The doctors say..." He swallowed hard. "They're not optimistic."I nodded, blinking back tears. "Can I see him?""He's sleeping now." Cassian's thumb traced the curve of my cheek, his eyes never leaving mine. "Aria, about what happened—""Later," I interrupted gently. "We'll talk about everything later. Right now, I just need..."I didn't finish the sentence, but I didn't have to. Cassian understood. His hand found mine, fingers intertwining as he led me down the corridor, away from Viktor's room and the nursing station."Where are we going?" I asked as he pushed open the door to what looked like a small consultation room.He didn't answer, just pulled me inside and locked the door behind us. The room was furnished with only a small desk and two chairs, a window overlooking the city.Before I could say another word, Cassian's mouth was on mine.
The Mafia Debt Chapter 108: The Promise He Kept
I turned, surprised by the hardness in his tone."I love you more than I've ever loved anything in this life," he continued. "But I can't keep doing this dance. I can't keep watching you run away when things get hard.""Things get hard?" I echoed incredulously. "We were kidnapped, Cassian. Tortured." "And I'm still here," he said fiercely. "Standing right in front of you, asking you to stay and fight for us instead of running away."His words hit their mark. Was that what I was doing? Running away when I should be fighting?"I don't know how to fight this toxicity," I admitted, my voice small.Cassian took a step toward me, careful, like I was a wounded animal that might bolt. "Together," he said simply. "We fight it together."I shook my head, tears flowing freely now. "It's not that simple.""It is," he insisted. "It's the simplest thing in the world, Aria. I love you. You love me. Everything else, we figure out as we go.""And what happens the next time someone comes for us? The n
The Mafia Debt Chapter 107: If You Walk Out That Door…
Cassian's POVWe're walking through the hotel gardens the next day. Aria has been talking non-stop for the past twenty minutes, her voice filling the space between us with stories I've heard a thousand times before. Normally, I'd find it endearing, the way she rambles when she's nervous or trying to distract herself. But tonight, it just highlights how desperately she's trying to pretend everything's normal.Nothing about this is normal. Not the way my skin still crawls with the memory of Charlie's hands on me. Not the hollow ache in my chest when I think about Aria being forced to watch. I listen to her, smiling at the appropriate moments, even though I already know where each story will lead. But I can't maintain the facade. A bitter chuckle escapes me, cutting her off mid-sentence.She turns to me, confusion clouding her features. "What?""Do you ever stop for air?" I ask, trying to divert her attention.She stops walking and crosses her arms over her chest, her expression shiftin
