I spent the next ten minutes staring at the address.

Then another ten and then another.

By the time Maya came home from work, I was still sitting in exactly the same position with the piece of paper clutched in my hand and a dozen different possibilities running through my head.

The front door opened.

A moment later, Maya walked inside carrying a takeout bag.

She stopped immediately when she saw my face.

“What happened?” she asked.

I held up the paper.

Maya frowned.

  • The Mafia Heir’s Secret Baby   Bianca

    (Luca)I was reviewing shipment reports when Marco walked into my office without knocking.Most people would never do that.Marco wasn’t most people Unfortunately.“You’re being hunted,” he said.I didn’t look up from the file.“I highly doubt that.”“You should.”I signed the last page before finally lifting my gaze.Marco looked entirely too amused.Which immediately made me suspicious.“What happened?”His grin widened.“Bianca is downstairs.”I sighed.Immediately.Because there were very few people capable of ruining a perfectly productive afternoon.Bianca Russo was one of them.“No.”Marco laughed.“That’s exactly what I said.”I closed the file.“Tell her I’m busy.”“I did.”“And?”“She said she doesn’t care.”Of course she did.Bianca rarely cared about things like schedules, boundaries, or common sense.All qualities I appreciated in small doses.Very small doses.Before I could respond, my office door opened.A moment later, Bianca walked inside.Elegant.Confident.Complet

  • The Mafia Heir’s Secret Baby   Back to New York

    # Chapter 18SofiaI spent the next hour convinced that the email was some kind of mistake.Unfortunately, every time I reread it, the words remained exactly the same.The amount remained exactly the same.And somehow that only made me more suspicious."This doesn't make sense," I said as I stared at the laptop screen.Maya was sitting beside me on the couch.At some point she had taken the laptop from me and read the email another three times herself.Apparently neither of us trusted good news anymore."I think it makes perfect sense," Maya replied.I looked at her."Someone I've never heard of just offered me ten thousand dollars.""Exactly.""That doesn't explain anything.""It explains that the universe finally decided to stop bullying you."Despite everything, I laughed.Maya grinned.Then her expression softened slightly."I'm serious, Sofia."I looked back at the screen."So am I."The whole thing felt strange.Too strange.Because I had spent weeks worrying about money.Weeks

  • The Mafia Heir’s Secret Baby   De santis holdings

    (Sofia)The next few days passed in a blur of job applications, unanswered questions, and far too much worrying.At this point, worrying had practically become a full-time job.Unfortunately, unlike my actual job, it didn’t pay anything.I spent most mornings searching for work and most evenings staring at the address my mother had hidden inside the envelope, trying to convince myself that I wasn’t seriously considering returning to New York.The problem was that the address felt important.Every instinct I had told me it was important.My mother had hidden it for a reason.She had hidden the key for a reason and she had written that note for a reason.The closer I got to the truth, the more impossible it became to ignore.Unfortunately, the truth wasn’t the only thing occupying my thoughts.Money was becoming a problem……….. a very serious problem.I sat at the kitchen table with my laptop open in front of me while scrolling through another list of job postings.Most of them weren’t h

  • The Mafia Heir’s Secret Baby   The predictable town

    (Sofia) I spent the next ten minutes staring at the address. Then another ten and then another. By the time Maya came home from work, I was still sitting in exactly the same position with the piece of paper clutched in my hand and a dozen different possibilities running through my head. The front door opened. A moment later, Maya walked inside carrying a takeout bag. She stopped immediately when she saw my face. “What happened?” she asked. I held up the paper. Maya frowned. “What is that?” I waited until she sat beside me before handing it over. For several seconds, she studied the address. Then she looked up. “Where did this come from?” “The envelope.” I replied. Her eyes widened. “The envelope from the jewelry box?” I nodded. “It was hidden inside.” Maya looked back down at the paper. For a moment, neither of us spoke. Then she sighed. “I knew it.” “Knew what?” “There was no way your mother would leave a mysterious key and a warning not

  • The Mafia Heir’s Secret Baby   Practical questions

    (Sofia)For a long time, neither Maya nor I spoke.We simply sat on the floor staring at the note in my hands while the small key rested between us, and no matter how many times I reread the words written in my mother’s familiar handwriting, they refused to make any more sense than they had five minutes ago.If you’re reading this, they found us.The words should have felt impossible but instead, they felt terrifyingly real.Because strange things had been happening ever since I arrived in Millhaven, and for the first time since my mother’s death, I found myself wondering if there were parts of her life that I had never known.Maya finally broke the silence.“I still think we should go to the police,” she said as she leaned back against my bed.I looked up from the note.“And tell them what?” I asked.Maya sighed.I could tell she was frustrated because we had already had this conversation twice.“Tell them that strange men keep showing up asking questions about your mother,” she repl

  • The Mafia Heir’s Secret Baby   Proposal

    (Luca)The last person I wanted to see was standing in my living room.I stopped in the doorway and stared at her.She smiled.The same confident smile that used to make men do stupid things.Unfortunately for her, I wasn't one of those men anymore."Well," she said as she crossed one leg over the other. "That's not exactly the warm welcome I was expecting."I loosened my tie and handed my jacket to one of the guards."What are you doing here, Bianca?"Her smile widened. “Is that any way to greet an old friend?""We were never friends. It was always just sex.” I frowned.She chuckled. “Still charming, I see."I walked past her and poured myself a drink.Bianca Russo was the daughter of one of the most powerful mafia families on the East Coast.She was beautiful, intelligent and dangerous.The kind of woman who always got what she wanted.The problem was that lately, what she wanted seemed to be me.I took a sip of my drink."Again," I said. "What are you doing here?"She stood and smo

    (Sofia)My blood ran cold.I stood frozen beside the door while my heart pounded so hard that I could hear it in my ears.The man outside knew my name.Not because I had introduced myself.Not because we had met before but because he already knew who I was.Another knock sounded against the door.I

  • The Mafia Heir’s Secret Baby   Finding Her

    (Luca)I should have forgotten her by now.At least that was what everyone kept telling me.Three months wasn’t exactly a long time, but it was long enough for most people to move on from a woman they had only spent one night with.Unfortunately, Sofia had never felt like a woman I could forget.I

  • The Mafia Heir’s Secret Baby   Exactly who she was

    (Sofia)Losing my job felt strangely unreal.The morning after Henderson fired me, I woke up at my usual time and immediately reached for my uniform before remembering that I no longer had a reason to wear it.For several seconds, I simply sat on the edge of my bed staring at the folded fabric rest
