Liora’s POV

The medical wing felt colder than I remembered. The steady beep of monitors filled the air like a cruel countdown, each sound a painful reminder that my baby was still hurting.

Alora lay in the reinforced hospital bed, her small body looking heartbreakingly fragile under the crisp white sheets.

An IV dripped steadily into her arm, pain medication keeping her comfortable while the doctors monitored her concussion and the swelling in her broken arm.

I hadn’t left her side for hours

  • The Mafia King's Collateral    Such a good artist

    Liora’s POVThe hallway felt longer than usual as I walked from our bedroom to the medical wing where Alora was resting. My heart tugged in two directions, one part still with Nikolai, feverish and vulnerable in our bed, the other pulling me toward our daughter who needed her mother just as much. The mansion was quiet this morning, the usual hum of security and staff subdued out of respect for what our family was going through.I slipped into Alora’s room quietly, the soft lighting and gentle beeps of monitors greeting me. She was propped up in bed, her broken arm carefully splinted and elevated, a few colorful bandages on her forehead from the fall. Maria sat in the chair beside her, reading from a picture book, but Alora’s eyes lit up the moment she saw me.“Mommy!” Her voice was still a little weak, but the joy in it wrapped around my heart like a warm hug.I crossed the room quickly, sitting on the edge of the bed and pulling her into a careful embrace, mindful of her injuries. “

  • The Mafia King's Collateral    I have to follow you

    Liora’s POVMorning light crept softly through the curtains of our bedroom, gentle and golden after the long, emotional night. I woke slowly, nestled against Nikolai’s side, my head on his chest and one leg draped over his. For a moment, everything felt peaceful, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat under my ear, the warmth of his body, the quiet safety of being wrapped in his arms.But something felt off.His skin was too warm. Hot, almost. I pressed my palm to his forehead, and my heart clenched. Fever. Not dangerously high, but enough to make worry bloom in my chest.“Baby,” I whispered, gently stroking his cheek. “Nikolai… wake up for me.”His eyelids fluttered, stormy gray eyes opening with visible effort. He tried to smile, but it came out weak, strained. “Morning, moya koroleva,” he rasped, voice hoarse. “What time is it?”“You’re burning up,” I said softly, sitting up and brushing damp strands of hair from his forehead. “How are you feeling?”He tried to brush it off, the stubb

  • The Mafia King's Collateral    All three of us

    Liora’s POVThe medical wing had become our temporary world. Hours blurred into one another, marked only by the steady rhythm of monitors and the soft rise and fall of Alora’s chest. I hadn’t slept more than a few minutes at a time, my body curled carefully beside her on the wide bed, one hand always touching some part of her, her uninjured fingers, her soft curls, the edge of her blanket.Nikolai refused to leave either. He sat in the armchair pulled right up to the bed, looking rumpled and exhausted but fiercely present. Every time Alora stirred or whimpered, he was there, murmuring gentle Russian endearments, stroking her hair with a tenderness that made my heart ache.“She’s going to be okay,” I whispered for what felt like the hundredth time, more to convince myself than him. “The doctor said the swelling is going down.”Nikolai nodded, but his stormy gray eyes remained fixed on our daughter’s pale face. The guilt from earlier still lingered in the tight set of his jaw, but he

    Liora’s POV The medical wing felt colder than I remembered. The steady beep of monitors filled the air like a cruel countdown, each sound a painful reminder that my baby was still hurting. Alora lay in the reinforced hospital bed, her small body looking heartbreakingly fragile under the crisp white sheets. An IV dripped steadily into her arm, pain medication keeping her comfortable while the doctors monitored her concussion and the swelling in her broken arm.I hadn’t left her side for hours. My hand wrapped gently around her uninjured fingers, thumb stroking slow circles over her soft skin. Every shallow breath she took sent fresh waves of fear through me. The fall kept replaying in my mind, that terrible moment when her little foot slipped, her cry as she tumbled, the sickening sound when she hit the bottom.Nikolai sat on the other side of the bed, his massive frame hunched forward, elbows on his knees. His stormy gray eyes never left Alora’s face. The powerful Pakhan who had

  • The Mafia King's Collateral    Badly hurt

    Liora’s POVThe afternoon sun filtered through the tall windows of the family wing, casting warm golden patterns across the polished floors. Everything felt peaceful, almost too peaceful after the intensity of the past weeks. Alora was a bundle of pure joy, her little legs stronger every day since the poison had been purged from her body. She’d been running circles around the sitting room, giggling as Nikolai pretended to chase her on all fours like a big, clumsy bear.“Catch me, Daddy!” she squealed, her hazel eyes sparkling with mischief.I watched from the doorway, heart so full it ached. Nikolai’s deep laughter echoed through the space — that rare, unrestrained sound I’d come to cherish since the island. He let her “escape” again and again, scooping her up only to tickle her until she shrieked with delight. Maria stood nearby, smiling softly as she folded laundry.“Be careful on the stairs, baby,” I called gently as Alora darted toward the grand staircase that connected the famil

  • The Mafia King's Collateral    You always are

    Liora’s POVThe days after our return settled into a beautiful, careful rhythm. Mornings belonged to Alora, her giggles filling the dining room as she demanded Nikolai carry her on his shoulders around the table. Afternoons often pulled him into the war room, but evenings were ours again. Soft. Intentional. A quiet rebellion against the shadows that still lingered at the edges of our world.This morning, I found him in the study earlier than usual, staring at a tablet with that familiar crease between his brows. The Reaper was hovering close again. I could see it in the set of his shoulders, the way his jaw tightened as he read the latest report on Elias’s remaining fragments.I didn’t knock. I simply walked in, slipped behind his chair, and wrapped my arms around his neck from behind. My cheek pressed to his temple.“Come back to me, baby,” I whispered, pressing a soft kiss just below his ear.He exhaled slowly, the tension easing as he set the tablet down and pulled me around into
