Chapter 12

Eva's Pov

“Your father is dead.” The words landed like bricks.

My knees threatened to give out. My hands gripped the doorframe so hard I could feel the paint digging into my skin.

“Wh-what do you mean… dead?” My voice trembled, barely audible.

The other man stepped forward with a frown on his face.

“He is not dead…at least for now. He's just gone. He skipped town. Took what he could, ate up the last of the rent money, and left this place. We’re here to settle the accounts.”

I blinked

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Obsession    Destroy your dad

    Chapter 13Eva's PovVictor leaned back, folding his hands neatly on the desk. His smile didn’t reach his eyes, but there was… something different in it.“Eva,” he said, voice smooth, deliberate. Something in me misfired listening to him. This wasn’t where I was supposed to be.“Welcome. You’re in. But I need you to know one thing before we start.”I blinked.He stood, walking around the desk. The office smelled faintly of coffee.“You know why you’re here,” he said. “You’ve seen the documents. You understand what this job really is?”My stomach dropped. “I… don't. I thought this was administrative… accounting… finance.”He shook his head, calmly, almost as if he were correcting a child.“Those numbers were a test. You passed. It's not because you understood them, but because you admitted what you didn’t.” "Honesty under pressure. That’s what matters here.”I swallowed hard, my pulse thudded in my throat. Victor Salieri’s job again. I raised my eyes to meet his. “What is the job?”V

My mother…was out there somewhere, and I had no one to reach her.Air stalled halfway in, and they were here to take the house.“Settle the accounts?” I croaked. “You can’t just—”“Rules are rules,” the second man interrupted, his tone flat. “The house belongs to us and we have mee tenants for this. Your father made sure we’d have to collect what’s owed. Now it’s your problem.” There was a pause.“Unless you can pay up before the end of tomorrow. We would c

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Obsession    Knock at the door

    Chapter 11Eva's PovAdrian’s unrelenting eyes narrowed. He sensed it—something was wrong.I forced a smile, teeth tight, heart hammering. “I’m fine,” I said, voice light. But inside, chaos clawed at me. The woman… Was she blackmailing me? Or worse, what if Adrian did something to her? The image on my phone burned in my mind: I was the only one in the image and Adrian… who was the culprit wasn't present. Every detail pointed to me as the killer.I didn’t know whether to scream, cry, or run, and my hands shook against my bag.Adrian leaned closer. “Are you okay?" I smiled harder. “Nothing at all, I would drop here. Have a nice night." Lies. Everything about me was lies. And I hated myself for it.But I couldn’t let him know. Not now. Not ever. I wasn't sure the elderly lady was the sender, and if I told Adrian—her life would be in danger and that would mean Adrian and I may still cross paths. And that was something I didn't want anymore. I yanked at the door handle and stumbled ou

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Obsession    A glimpse of truth

    Chapter 10Eva's PovAdrian looked up at the sound of my scream. He didn’t speak—Rain plastered the city streets as he rolled down the window.A woman crouched by the curb, her clothes ragged, hair plastered to her face. She squinted at us, holding a small basket.“What now? Running from trouble again? Or causing one? Cause I saw you kill a man.” Her voice was sharp.I stayed frozen, unsure what to say. Adrian didn’t answer.The woman gave a dry laugh. “Figures. Everyone’s got somewhere to be. What would you pay to keep my mouth shut?” Instead of a response, Adrian ignited the engine and the car slid forward.Leaving her behind. I panicked. She was a witness to the murder, and Adrian left her unharmed… not like I wanted her dead, but at least shutting her up with cash.We rode on in silence without any of us exchanging words. He acted like everything was fine. When we got to the highway terminal he finally spoke in a calm tone.“Where do you live now?” he asked. I hesitated. What abou

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Obsession    Flash of Past

    Chapter 9 Eva’s Pov A deep, low growl erupted behind me, snapping my head around so fast I stumbled when I saw what it was. A massive black dog had its eyes locked on me. “Don’t run,” Adrian whispered. But that information was too late as the dog lunged toward me. “Oh my God!” I screamed, stumbling back, my heel slipped. I lost my balance. Silence filled the world, only my breathing breaking it. “Down!” Adrian snapped. When I did, a gunshot cracked through the air. The dog hit the ground hard with a thump, right where I had been standing. The vibration from the gun made my ears ring, and my grip on Adrian tightened. I wondered what would’ve happened if he wasn’t here—Footsteps rushed toward us. “You need to get out of here." My eyes met his, but they were cold as always. This wasn't part of the contract, but he interrupted my flow of thoughts. "Get up, Eva.” His voice was sharp with urgency, but when I tried to rise, my legs refused to move. He hauled me up. Hea

  • The Mafia's Forbidden Obsession    Little Miss Moretti's toy.

    Chapter 8 Eva's Pov A hard shove threw me against the wall as soon as Adrian stepped out of the room, and a gun was pressed against my shoulder. “Get up bitch." My body wouldn’t stop shaking. “Hot chick,” one of the men whistled and my hands moved instinctively, covering my exposed body parts. But, I knew their eyes had already seen everything. "You know better than to run, because running would make this worse, little Miss Moretti’s toy.” A voice came from behind me. I turned slowly and a tattooed guy with rings over his face flashed me a smile. “I didn’t quite catch your name earlier,” he said, stepping closer. His gaze dragged over my body. I took a step back, and another, forcing myself to think of a way of escape. I counted the exits, the door was behind them and the bar was to the left. There was no clean escape. Shit!" I would have left with Adrian when I had the chance. “Tell me your name,” he said again, a little softer this time, but his tone didn't fit t
