The rough fabric of the blindfold rubbed against my skin as two guards dragged me out into the cold night air. I stumbled over the uneven gravel, my legs shaking, before they shoved me hard into the back seat of a waiting car. The heavy door slammed shut, locking me in darkness.

My heart beat wildly in my chest, a terrifying rhythm echoing in my ears. It felt like my life was just moving from one awful problem to another, and this time, I had no idea who could possibly save me. I did not even k

  • 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

I stumbled over the uneven gravel, my legs shaking, before they shoved me hard into the back seat of a waiting car. The heavy door slammed shut, locking me in darkness.My heart beat wildly in my chest, a terrifying rhythm echoing in my ears. It felt like my life was just moving from one awful problem to another, and this time, I had no idea who could possibly save me. I did not even know where I was on the map, but I knew for sure that Lorenzo was far away.We drove for what felt like endless hours. Every bump on the road sent a sharp, agonizing stab through my healing stitches, making me gasp silently behind the dark cloth. Regretting terribly why I had ripped my stitches earlier, the wound was still fresh and it hurt like hell.Finally, the car ground to a sudden halt. The door opened, and strong hands hoisted me out into the damp night. They dragged me through a creaky wo

  • The Mafia's Don Plus Size Bride    Reckoning

    ~ Kate ~I stared back at Marcus, he held my gaze as if waiting for my answer. I nodded softly "Who's Helen?"Marcus stared at me through the dim light of the room, his eyes dark and fixed on my face."She was nineteen years old, Kate," Marcus said softly, his voice carrying a strange, hollow weight. "She was full of life, innocent, and had nothing to do with any of this dirty business."I pulled my knees a little tighter against my chest, picking at a loose thread on my sleeve. "Who was she, then?""Her name was Helen," he continued, taking a slow drag from a fresh cigarette. "She was just a girl who loved music and quiet mornings. But she made the mistake of falling for a man who served a monster.""A monster?" I asked, my brows drawing together in confusion."A cold, selfish drug addict," Marcus said, his jaw working as he spoke. "A man who thought his title made him God. That addict made a mess with a rival family, and when the bullets started flying, he did not get hit." he pause
