The Mafia Who Bought Me What Power Really Is
I barely had time to catch my breath. The moment I closed the door to my room, the mansion came alive again. Shouts rang out from the lower levels. Heavy boots struck marble floors in coordinated rhythm. Doors slammed. Voices overlapped in urgent, low tones. Something was happening — something big enough to pull the entire house into motion. I told myself to stay put. I really did. But after what I had just overheard in that hallway, sitting still felt impossible. Every instinct screamed that staying blind would be more dangerous than knowing. Slipping out quietly, I made my way to the wide balcony that overlooked the main courtyard. The night air hit me first, it was cooler than it should have felt, sharp with the scent of pine from the surrounding woods. Below, the courtyard had been transformed. Harsh white floodlights cut through the darkness, bleaching everything in unforgiving brightness. No shadows. No place to hide. Guards stood in perfect forma
The Mafia Who Bought Me I Shouldn’t Have Done That
Elena POV Everything was moving too fast. Too many orders. Too many footsteps. Too many doors opening and closing at once. The mansion didn’t feel like a home anymore. It felt like a battlefield. And I was standing in the middle of it with no idea what was actually happening. “You don’t leave this floor.” Dante’s voice cut through everything. It was sharp, controlled and final. I turned to him. “You’re locking me in now?” "Why do you always act like that with me?" “I’m keeping you alive.” He said. “That’s not the same thing.” I snapped. His eyes darkened slightly. “It is tonight.” That tone. The way it sounded like the conversation was already over. Like my opinion didn’t matter. “I’m not one of your men,” I said. “And you’re not in a position to argue with me Elena.” Silence snapped between us. Tight. Sharp. Because that? That was control—
The Mafia Who Bought Me Break the Silence
No one spoke. Not when we entered. Not when the door shut behind us with a heavy click. Not even when Dante stepped into the center of the room like he owned the air itself. The silence wasn’t empty. It was thick. Suffocating. Like something invisible had wrapped around everyone’s throat and was squeezing, slow and patient. The air felt wrong. Too still. Too controlled. Like the whole room was holding its breath, waiting for something ugly to happen. Three men were on their knees. Bruised. Bleeding. Faces already swollen and cut from the beating they’d taken before we arrived. But they weren’t broken. Not yet. And that was what made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Because men in this position—men who knew they were about to die, they usually begged. They shook. They pissed themselves. They tried anything to survive. These ones? They sat upright. Heads steady. Eyes clear. Like they were waiting for something. Or someone. A chill crawled down my spine. Dante didn’t
The Mafia Who Bought Me They Know My Face
Elena POV Eyes on me. AGAIN It was not subtle this time. Not hidden. But direct. I felt it the second I stepped fully into the hallway. Guards who used to look past me…Now looked at me. Staff who used to move freely…Now slowed. Stayed silent and watched. My steps didn’t stop but something inside me did. Because this wasn’t normal. This wasn’t just curiosity. This was recognition. And that—that was new. I kept walking. Heads up. Back straight. Like I didn’t feel it. Like it didn’t matter. But every step felt heavier. Every glance sharper. More deliberate. More… knowing. A group of staff stood near the far end of the hall. Talking quietly—too quietly. But the moment I got closer they went silent. Not gradual. Not subtle. Instant. Like someone had cut the sound out of the room. My jaw tightened. I slowed just enough to catch it. “…it’s her—” “Don’t—” “You don’t see it?” “I said stop talking.” My pulse dropped. Cold. I didn’t look at them. Didn’t react. I just kept walking l
The Mafia Who Bought Me What They Don’t See
Dante’s POV The house was quieter than it should have been. Not calm. Not peaceful. Different. And control like this never came without a reason. I stood in my office, the glass untouched in my hand, my gaze fixed on the city stretching beyond the window. Lights flickered in the distance, unaware, untouched by the kind of war that didn’t announce itself. The kind that moved in silence. Precision. Timing. And that was the problem. This wasn’t random. It never had been. “Say it again.” The voice behind me hesitated. Fear meant they understood the weight of the room. “Security rotation changed at 02:00,” one of the men said carefully. “By 02:17, they were already inside the perimeter.” My grip on the glass tightened slightly. Seventeen minutes. That was too fast. Too clean. “Access points?” I asked. “West corridor. Service entrance.” My jaw shifted. “That entrance was closed.” There was a pause. “It was.” Silence settled heavy. Because we both knew what that meant. It was
The Mafia Who Bought Me What He Was Afraid Of
Elena's POV I didn't go back to my room. I couldn't. Not after that. Not after everything Dante said... and everything he didn't say. 'You're the reason the board is moving.' The words wouldn't leave my head. They stayed there-sharp, heavy, impossible to ignore. This wasn't about my father anymore. It wasn't about money. It was about me. And I hated that I didn't understand why. My steps slowed as I reached the hallway leading to the guest rooms. The one where my father was staying. I hesitated just for a second. Because part of me didn't want to go in there again. Didn't want to hear more lies. Didn't want to confirm what I was starting to suspect. But the other part of me? The part that was done being in the dark? That part pushed the door open. He was awake sitting exactly where I left him. Like he hadn't moved. Like time hadn't passed. Like he had been waiting. "Elena..." His voice was softer this time. Careful. More cautious like he didn't know what version of me had wa
