The rendezvous point was a deserted parking garage on the edge of the city.

Dante parked the car on the top level, the concrete walls echoing with the sound of our arrival. The place was empty, shadows pooling in the corners, the only light coming from a few flickering fluorescent bulbs.

"I don't like this," I said.

"Neither do I." Dante killed the engine but didn't move. "Stay in the car."

"Like hell I will."

"Chloe-"

"I'm not letting you walk into a potential trap alone." I unbuckled my seatb

    The rendezvous point was a deserted parking garage on the edge of the city.Dante parked the car on the top level, the concrete walls echoing with the sound of our arrival. The place was empty, shadows pooling in the corners, the only light coming from a few flickering fluorescent bulbs."I don't like this," I said."Neither do I." Dante killed the engine but didn't move. "Stay in the car.""Like hell I will.""Chloe-""I'm not letting you walk into a potential trap alone." I unbuckled my seatbelt and turned to face him. "If Marcus is telling the truth, we both need to hear what he has to say. If he's lying, you'll need backup."Dante stared at me for a long moment, his jaw tight. Then he sighed, a sound of reluctant acceptance."Fine. But you stay behind me. If anything goes wrong, you run. No arguments.""No promises."He muttered something under his breath that sounded like a curse, then got out of the car. I followed, my senses on high alert, every shadow a potential threat.Marcu

    The explosion threw me off my feet.I hit the concrete hard, my head snapping back, stars exploding across my vision. Dust and debris rained down around me, and for a moment, I couldn't hear anything but a high-pitched ringing in my ears.Then the shooting started.I rolled onto my stomach, coughing, trying to orient myself. The warehouse was chaos. Smoke billowed from the hole in the wall, and through it, I could see figures moving. Dante's men, their weapons flashing in the darkness.Isabella was screaming orders, her composure finally shattered. Her men returned fire, but they were outnumbered, outflanked, outmaneuvered.I needed to move.I crawled toward the nearest cover, a overturned table, and pressed my back against it. My head was pounding, my vision blurry, but I forced myself to focus. I had to find Dante. I had to get out of here.A hand grabbed my arm, and I swung blindly, my fist connecting with something solid."Easy, tiger."Dante.He was crouched beside me, his face s

    Lorenzo's hands were shaking.I watched as he stared at the photograph of his granddaughter, his face a mask of barely controlled fury. The little girl couldn't have been more than eight, with dark hair and wide, terrified eyes. She looked so small. So fragile."We need to move," he repeated, his voice cracking. "Now.""Wait." I held up my hand, my mind racing. "If we go in blind, Isabella will kill her. She's expecting us to react emotionally. We need to be smarter."Lorenzo's eyes blazed. "That is my granddaughter. My blood. I will not sit here while-""And I'm not suggesting you do." I stepped closer, meeting his gaze without flinching. "But we need a plan. A real one. Not a suicide mission."Sofia appeared at my side, her expression grim. "She's right, Grandfather. Isabella wants you to react. She wants you to make a mistake."Lorenzo's jaw tightened, but he nodded. "Fine. What do you propose?"I thought fast, pulling together everything I knew about Isabella, about the Council, a

    The phone felt like a live grenade in my pocket.I stood in the shadows of the Marchetti estate, watching Dante's car disappear down the long driveway. He had kissed me goodbye, quick and fierce, then promised to return within three days. Three days of pretending to be a guest while actually being a hostage. Three days of navigating Lorenzo's games while keeping my secrets close.Three days of hoping Isabella didn't decide to kill me before he came back.Sofia appeared beside me, her expression thoughtful. "You love him.""I barely know him.""That's not what I asked."I turned to face her, crossing my arms. "What do you want, Sofia?""To help you." She gestured toward the estate. "Come. There's something you need to see."She led me through winding corridors, past guards who nodded at her with respect, past servants who kept their eyes down. The estate was a labyrinth, full of hidden rooms and secret passages. Sofia navigated it like she had been born here, which she had.We stopped

    The door clicked shut behind Dante, and I felt the sound in my bones.Lorenzo watched me with amusement, his thin lips curved into a smile that made my skin crawl. He gestured to one of his men, a hulking figure with a scarred face and dead eyes."Take Mrs. Donovan to the east wing. Make sure she's comfortable."The man, who I mentally named Scarface, grunted and motioned for me to follow. I didn't move."I want to see the gardens first," I said.Lorenzo raised an eyebrow. "The gardens?""I've heard they're beautiful. And I've been stuck in a car for hours. I need air."Scarface looked at Lorenzo, who shrugged. "Fine. Show her the gardens. But don't let her out of your sight."The gardens were magnificent. Rows of roses in every color imaginable, ancient olive trees twisted by time, marble fountains that sparkled in the morning light. It was the kind of place that belonged in a painting, not in the backyard of a crime lord.I walked slowly, my eyes cataloging everything. Exits. Securi

  • The Mafia King’s Accidental Wife   The Lion’s Den

    The Marchetti estate was a monument to old money and older violence.Marble floors stretched in every direction, polished to a mirror shine. Crystal chandeliers hung from ceilings painted with frescoes depicting scenes of war and conquest. Men in dark suits lined the walls like statues, their eyes tracking our every move, their hands never far from the weapons hidden beneath their jackets.Dante walked beside me, his hand resting on the small of my back, a possessive gesture that was both protective and claiming. His wound was still healing, but he moved with the same predatory grace, his gray eyes scanning the room, cataloging exits and threats."Remember what I told you," he murmured, his lips barely moving. "Let me do the talking.""I remember.""Good."We were led into a study that could have housed a small army. Bookshelves lined the walls, filled with leather-bound volumes that looked centuries old. A massive desk dominated the center of the room, and behind it sat Lorenzo March
