The dead woman had my face.

For a second, I couldn't breathe.

Couldn't think.

Couldn't move.

The words echoed inside my head over and over again.

My face.

My face.

My face.

"What?" I whispered.

The guard swallowed.

His expression was pale.

Terrified.

Not because of the body.

Because of what it meant.

Beside me, Alessio went completely still.

Dangerously still.

The kind of stillness that came before violence.

"Show me," he said.

The guard nodded immediately.

"Yes, boss."

Alessio grabbed my hand

  • The Mafia Heir’s Forbidden Bride   A Sister Buried in Secrets

    “She looked like you because she’s biologically related to you.”The words echoed through the library.For a moment, I couldn’t hear anything else.Not the ticking clock.Not the rain tapping against the windows.Not even my own heartbeat.Everything disappeared except those seven words.Biologically related.My stomach twisted violently.“No.”Alessio didn’t speak.I stared at him.Waiting for him to take it back.Waiting for someone to tell me this was another mistake.Another misunderstanding.Another nightmare.But nobody did.My father looked pale.Roman looked grim.And suddenly I knew this was real.Painfully real.“How?” I whispered.Alessio slowly sat beside me.His expression remained calm, but I could see the tension in his jaw.“The DNA results are confirmed.”My pulse hammered.“DNA?”Roman nodded.“The woman shares enough genetic markers to prove she’s related to you.”I swallowed hard.“Related how?”Nobody answered immediately.And that terrified me.Because silence us

    The dead woman had my face.For a second, I couldn't breathe.Couldn't think.Couldn't move.The words echoed inside my head over and over again.My face.My face.My face."What?" I whispered.The guard swallowed.His expression was pale.Terrified.Not because of the body.Because of what it meant.Beside me, Alessio went completely still.Dangerously still.The kind of stillness that came before violence."Show me," he said.The guard nodded immediately."Yes, boss."Alessio grabbed my hand before I could move.His grip was firm.Possessive.Protective."You're staying behind me."I rolled my eyes automatically."Alessio—""No.""But—""No."I hated how attractive he became when he was being unreasonable.It was incredibly unfair.Minutes later, we reached the front gates.The entire estate was in chaos.Security teams crowded the entrance.Weapons drawn.Phones ringing.Orders being shouted.The moment people noticed Alessio approaching, they immediately stepped aside.And then I

  • The Mafia Heir’s Forbidden Bride   The Bride They Wanted

    The photograph slipped from my fingers.For a moment, nobody spoke.Nobody breathed.Nobody moved.I stared at the image lying on the warehouse floor.Me.Sleeping peacefully in my bedroom.Completely unaware someone had been watching.My stomach twisted violently.The photo wasn't old.It couldn't be.The nightgown I wore in the picture was one Bianca had bought me only a few weeks ago.That meant whoever took it had been inside the Moretti mansion recently.Very recently.A cold shiver crawled down my spine."Lucia."Alessio's voice was low.Dangerously calm.Which was somehow worse than anger.I looked up.His face had become unreadable.But his eyes...His eyes looked murderous."Who took this?" I whispered.Nobody answered.Because nobody knew.Roman stepped forward and picked up the photograph.His expression darkened instantly."This wasn't sent as a threat."My father frowned."What do you mean?"Roman looked at him."It's a declaration."Silence.The words settled heavily ove

  • The Mafia Heir’s Forbidden Bride   The Voice in the Darkness

    "Lucia... it's time you came home."The voice echoed through the darkness.My entire body froze.I knew that voice.But that was impossible.The tunnel had collapsed around us.Dust filled the air.Stone crashed somewhere nearby.Yet somehow, through all the chaos, I recognized the voice instantly.My heart pounded painfully."No..." I whispered.Alessio tightened his grip on my waist."Lucia?"I barely heard him.Because memories were crashing into me.A laugh.A smile.Warm hands brushing my hair when I was little.A voice reading bedtime stories.A voice I hadn't heard in years.My mother.The woman I had been told died when I was a child.Another piece of stone crashed nearby.Marco grabbed my arm."We need to move. Now."The tunnel was still collapsing.Alessio didn't hesitate.He practically lifted me off my feet and pulled me through the debris.Behind us, Bianca disappeared into the dust.I tried to look back."Bianca!"Nothing.Only darkness.Only falling stone."Lucia!"Ales

  • The Mafia Heir’s Forbidden Bride   The Sister who was never Herself

    For a second, nobody moved.Not me.Not Alessio.Not Marco.Not even the collapsing tunnel behind us seemed to matter anymore.Because Bianca was standing there.But she didn’t feel like Bianca.Not the girl who used to cry over broken nails or panic before engagement parties.Not the sister who clutched my hand during fear.This version was different.Still Bianca’s face.But empty behind the eyes.Controlled.Almost… trained.My throat tightened painfully.“Bianca…” I whispered.She tilted her head slightly, like she was studying me.Like I was unfamiliar.“Lucia,” she said calmly.Her voice was steady.Too steady.Alessio immediately stepped in front of me.Protective.Instant.But Bianca didn’t react.That alone terrified me.Because Bianca always reacted.Always emotional.Always dramatic.Always alive.This wasn’t her.Marco muttered beside us, almost to himself.“So it’s already happened.”My stomach dropped.“What has happened?” I snapped.But no one answered me.Bianca took o

  • The Mafia Heir’s Forbidden Bride   The Truth Beneath the Bloodline

    The word father still echoed in my head like broken glass.I couldn’t move.Couldn’t breathe properly.Couldn’t even tell if the tunnel was still collapsing or if my world had already finished collapsing instead.Matteo’s voice from the speaker system had done something worse than any gunshot.It didn’t just threaten me.It rewrote everything I thought I knew about myself.Beside me, Alessio was completely still.That alone scared me more than the falling ceiling or Marco Moretti standing in front of us like a ghost that refused to die.Alessio Romano did not freeze.Ever.But now he had.Marco wiped blood from the corner of his mouth slowly, watching Alessio like he was waiting for something to snap.“You didn’t know?” Marco asked quietly.Alessio didn’t answer.That silence was enough.My throat tightened.“What is he talking about?” I whispered.No one answered me.That made it worse.The tunnel groaned again.This time, deeper.Like the underground itself was warning us that time
