I stared at Marcus, panic flaring wildly in my chest. what ever I say now would sound like a convenient lie. The situation was a thousand times worse than I had ever imagined.

I glanced at Kate. She was wide eyed, tears spilling over the black tape on her face, trembling violently from Marcus's raw outburst. I looked away quickly, tears stinging behind my own eyes. I did not know how much longer I could stall him. Marcus looked mentally unhinged, his mind frayed to the breaking point.

  • The Mafia's Don Plus Size Bride    Painful Echoes

    ~ Kate ~I stared in absolute horror as Marcus’s body froze mid-breath and went completely limp. He crumpled onto the hard concrete, dark red blood spreading quickly beneath his chest. My mind went blank, entirely unable to process what had just happened in a single second.Lorenzo stood frozen across from me, his jaw dropping open in shock. He slowly raised his head toward the dark doorway.Standing near the threshold was his father, a heavy smoking gun held casually in his right hand.The three guards who were holding on to Lorenzo froze instantly, pulling their weapons to face the old man. Before they could pull their triggers, Lorenzo reacted. He yanked the hidden gun from behind his belt and shot the nearest guard in the back. At the same second, his father fired two quick rounds, taking down the second man.The third guard spun toward Lorenzo and fired a wild shot. Lorenzo dodged to the side, but the bullet grazed his shoulder. He grunted, aiming his weapon and shooting the guar

I did not know how much longer I could stall him. Marcus looked mentally unhinged, his mind frayed to the breaking point."Do you know what it feels like, Lorenzo?" Marcus sobbed, his shaking voice echoing off the concrete walls. "Do you have any idea what it is like to watch the only two people you cared about get murdered while your best friend just stands there watching?""Oh God Marcus no, please," I pleaded, taking a cautious step. "I was young, new to the Mafia! I was helpless! I could not have done anything to stop my father!""Liars!" Marcus screamed, his face twisting in agonizing pain. "You were not helpless! Look

  • The Mafia's Don Plus Size Bride    The buried truth

    ~ FLASHBACK ~~ Lorenzo ~ My hands were trembling inside my oversized coat pockets. My father had dragged me along on another brutal enforcement run, said it was about time I used that gun I had been practicing with. He wanted me to know the real world.The place was very far from home, but I was familiar with it, it was down into the grimy alleyways of Marcus's hometown.The raid had turned into a bloody nightmare within minutes. Bullets tore through the brick walls, sending clouds of red dust into the air. Bulky guards from my father's inner circle formed a moving shield around me, shoving me toward the back of our getaway van.Through the smoke, I saw young Marcus running blindly across the yard, screaming his lungs out. "Helen! Adrian! Where are you?"I was certain they had already reached the vehicle. "Marcus!" I yelled, waving my arm from the open side of the human shield surrounding me . "Get in! Over here!"Marcus did not hear me over the gunfire. He kept running deeper into

    I ground my teeth, Marcus looked terrible there was no way he was in his right state of mind. My head was literally pounding, a sharp spike of pain throbbing behind my eyes with every beat of my heart.My eyes met Kate's, she was tied down to that wooden chair, her eyes wide with sheer terror above the thick black tape. I looked away guilt nagging at me, stealing the air from my lungs.I did not want to provoke Marcus in any way, but I had to change his mind or at least stall until my men surrounded the perimeter of the police found us, still a miracle happened "Marcus, listen to me," I started again, keeping my hands visible at chest height."Shut up, Lorenzo!" Marcus barked, his finger tightening slightly on the trigger."Adrian's death hurt me too, Marcus!" I stated firmly, refusing to quiet down. "You and Adrian were my only true friends growing up! Do you think I did not care that he died?""Do not speak his name!" Marcus yelled, his chest heaving as he paced frantically. "You

    I sprinted back to my car, my lungs burning as I threw open the driver door and slammed my foot onto the gas pedal. As the engine roared down the empty highway, I hit the speed dial on my steering wheel, calling my elite security team."Boss?" my tactical captain answered immediately."Send every available man to the industrial sector on the south border!" I said over the engine noise. "Surround the perimeter, try to get here as fast as you can but do not move in until I give the order. Bring the police if you have to""Understood, Don Lorenzo!"I continued the drive, my eyes hurting as I grind my teeth, all of this was a mess a big mess, I didn't think Marcus took this so personal I finally arrived at the coordinates. It was a desolate, empty expanse near an old rail line. I killed the headlights, jumped out of the car, and grabbed a second handgun from under the seat.I looked around the dark, open space, my heart hammering against my ribs. There was nowhere to hide, just flat grou

  • The Mafia's Don Plus Size Bride    Racing against time

    I pressed my foot flat against the gas pedal, the needle on the dashboard hovering dangerously close to the empty line. I gripped the wheel with trembling hands, praying to whatever gods were listening that I would not run out of fuel on this dark, deserted stretch of road.I kept hoping that I was wrong. I desperately wished that this was all just some terrifying misunderstanding, that Marcus was still the loyal brother who had stood beside me for over a decade. But the further I drove into the foggy outskirts, the harder my heart hammered against my ribs.I finally arrived at the district. It was a complete ghost town, dark, decrepit, and almost entirely empty. This was the rough neighborhood where Marcus had grown up,where I had met him and his brother. And just a few hundred meters away from where I was driving lay the quiet plot of dirt where he had buried Helen all those years ago.My jaw clenched so tight the muscles in my neck ached.I pulled the car over, parking a few meters
