"What?" Belle gasped, placing her left hand which was not affected in the accident on her chest. "What do you mean meticulously planned?"

"We have not been able to get proper footage, but we have Intel that says the truck driver that hit you waited till you got to the red light before driving, knowing that your brake was tampered with," Juan explained with a sigh. "And the only way your break would have been tampered with is bubs staff."

"The only way they would have known what time you were leaving was by a staff as well," Hernandez said.

"Why would they do that? I haven't offended anyone.'

"Obviously to get to me... And distract me from something else."

"And you didn't think to tell me?" She asked angrily.

"You were in the fucken hospital Belle," Juan sighed. "And what were you going to do about that."

"It doesn't matter, you should Have still told me."

"We shouldn't be arguing," Hernandez cut in. "Rather we should be looking for s way forward."

"Well then fire all the staff," Bel

  • The Mafia's Angel   Chapter 1: The Bloodied Note

    The blood on the note stared back at him.It was fresh, weakening the paper even.That was the last thing Juan had expected to find—especially at the foot of a hospital bed. He stared back at it with hard and red eyes, hands trembling as he read those words over and over again.You'll pay for everything...He looked up at Arya who lay on the hospital bed. Her face had become a pale white color, almost blending seamlessly into the sheets. The bandage on her chest had bled through again, spreading out in a rose-like pattern. The doctors had mentioned stopping the bleeding, but they must not have done a good job."Sir, please step back," one of the nurses said, pulling at his sleeve.Juan didn’t move. He kept staring, barely blinking, his breathing slow and shallow."Sir!" the doctor called sharply, snapping on gloves. "We need to stabilize her."He finally took a step back, his feet feeling heavy, his chest tight. He watched as they pulled the bandages away and pressed down new gauze, r

  • The Mafia's Angel   Author's Note

    A/NPHEW! ***Wipes sweat dramatically*** ***breaths sigh of relief*** ***drumrolls***We did it, people! We actually did it! This chaotic, bloody, dramatic masterpiece is DONE!!! 🥺Well, book one at least (you didn’t think I’d leave you hanging forever, right? Right? 🔪).Let me take you on a little ✨behind the scenes ride✨So, picture it in your head. July last year, I had this FIRE idea and started writing like a possessed woman, got through fifteen chapters, and then… life said, “SURPRISE! SURPRIIIISEEEE" (Y'all know that TikTok sound, right?)Cue the health problems, medication mountain, AND final exams trying to murder me in cold blood. Oh, and let’s not forget the ghostwriting hustle for clients because, you know, medical bills don’t pay themselves.Fast forward to January: school came back swinging at me in full force, work piled up, and guess what? This poor book baby got shoved into a dusty corner of my drafts.UNTIL (In Ray William's voice. You know that TikTok guy that mo

  • The Mafia's Angel   Chapter 100: The Note

    Juan’s blood ran cold.He almost froze in place, but he couldn’t afford to when everything was literally hanging by a thread. Hastily, he snatched his radio from his pocket and began to bark out orders, trying to keep his voice from cracking. For the first time in more than twenty years, Juan could feel tears stinging the corners of his eyes. The enemy was closing in on him, and he was actively losing control on the situation. With one arm, Juan hauled Arya’s limp body higher against his chest, her head lolling weakly against his shoulder. His other hand gripped his gun tightly, firing off at the enemy rapidly. He ran out of bullets and hastily tried to reload his gun as fast as he could while his men covered for him. Several were badly injured. The car that had Belle had the tires destroyed by the number of bullets embedded in them. Luckily it was bullet proof, but he could still hear Belle's muffled screams. Bullets whizzed past his ear, one grazing his shoulder. He hissed thro

  • The Mafia's Angel   99

    The men were all gathered downstairs in a room, waiting for Juan. He had taken a quick shower and then rushed downstairs.A large table stood at the centre of the room, filled with sketched out maps of the alleyways around, guns were on the table, crates of weapons and bullets stacked at the corner and men leaning against the edge of the table, murmuring to themselves. The moment Juan walked in, the room quietened and the all looked up at him. "We've been waiting for you," Hernandez said to Juan pointedly with a look that said: no time to waste. Juan nodded and clapped his hands for everyone's attention to be drawn. "I am sure you all already gave heard that Giuseppe Rinaldi is back in town.""Well aware sir," they all murmured. "Good," Juan said, his gaze sweeping across the room. "First things first, we need to get the female staff to a safe house and of course, Donatella, Bella and Arya.""Problem is we don't know which safe houses has been infiltrated by Giuseppe already," Hern

  • The Mafia's Angel   Chapter 98: Letting Go

    They climaxed again together, panting against each other."I could do this everyday of my life with you, only you," Juan murmured against her ear. She smiled, and then looked up at him. She's had a thousand and one questions ask him because she was not sure where they were going with this. Did he want to move forward with this? Perhaps want a relationship with her? How could she even be comfortable with it when he always made it clear that she was owned. "What's going on in your head?" He asked her in a soft voice. "What's going on in your head?" She asked back, raising her brows at him. "Ladies first," he smiled. "Tell me first, and I'll tell you.""Well, I'm thinking about what's going on in your head," she told him with a wry smile. He gave a sigh, realizing he was going to tell Arya the real truth sooner or later. He had even agreed to stage a kidnap of her with Dominic because he did not know who Giuseppe was using to monitor him.He would have to temporarily keel Arya with
