Aryn

The music was still playing when I leaned into him, pressing close just to see how far I could push. Lorenzo’s eyes burned through the mask, dark and sharp, and I knew I was getting under his skin. That thought alone made me smirk.

I loved the way his breath hitched every time I moved just a little closer. He tried to act like he was in control, like I was the one dancing to his tune, but no—this was my game too. And right now, I had him.

“Relax,” I whispered again, teasing him with his own words.

He muttered something low under his breath, something that sounded a hell of a lot like fuck. The roughness of his voice made my skin prickle with heat. I should’ve stopped—I really should have. But I didn’t.

Because for once, I wasn’t just the girl standing frozen in fear in the middle of a crowded room. I wasn’t the one being stared at, judged, hunted. Right now, in his arms, I was the fire. I was the one making him sweat, curse, and grind his teeth like he was seconds from snapping.

  • The Mafia's Kidnapped Bride   Chapter 155

    ArynI decided that enough was enough. Sitting around, crying, and feeling sorry for ourselves wasn’t going to fix a damn thing.After breakfast, Lily started cleaning up, humming softly again like she hadn’t just cried her eyes out a few minutes ago. She was trying to act normal, pretending everything was fine. But I knew that kind of pretending, it’s the same one I used to do every morning before walking into the DeLucas’ mansion, pretending I wasn’t falling apart inside.So I leaned against the counter, crossed my arms, and said, “You know what? We’re not staying in today.”Lily blinked at me. “What?”“I mean it,” I said, grabbing my cup and finishing the cold coffee. “If we keep moping around, we’ll end up crying into our pillows again tonight. Let’s go out. Do something stupid. Something fun. Something we’ve always wanted to do.”Her brows furrowed, confusion and worry written all over her face. “With which money, Aryn? Last I checked, our account was emptier than your dating lif

  • The Mafia's Kidnapped Bride   chapter 154

    Aryn The morning sunlight crept through the thin curtains, warm and soft against my face. For a few seconds, I didn’t remember where I was. Then the faint smell of frying eggs hit my nose, followed by a familiar voice humming an old pop song off-key. Lily. I sat up slowly, rubbing my eyes. The couch was uncomfortable as hell, but it felt more like home than the luxury mattress I’d slept on for months. My chest still ached, but at least the pain wasn’t sharp anymore, just a dull, constant weight that reminded me I was still breathing. When I padded to the kitchen, the scene almost made me smile. Lily stood barefoot in one of her oversized shirts, hair tied up messily, hips swaying slightly as she hummed and stirred something in the pan. But then I noticed her other hand, resting absently on her stomach. Rubbing it. My smile faded. A frown tugged at my lips. She didn’t even realize she was doing it. “Since when do you cook breakfast?” I asked, leaning on the doorframe. She jumpe

    LorenzoThe message came through at 7:04 a.m.Just seven words.> Lorenzo, I’m leaving. I want a divorce.I stared at the screen, rereading it over and over, waiting for it to change, waiting for the punchline, for her to call me “cara mia” after the cruel joke. But it didn’t come. The words stayed there, cold, simple, final.For a second, I couldn’t even breathe. Then I felt a slow burn starting deep in my chest, spreading like wildfire until my veins were fire and my pulse was a roar.No. No fucking way.Aryn wouldn’t just leave. Not without a reason. Not without facing me.“Where is she?” I snapped, standing so abruptly my chair slammed backward into the marble floor. The men in the room froze. None of them dared to speak.“Boss?” Enzo’s voice was cautious. “We...uh...we lost visual after she left the Micardos’ compound last night.”“What do you mean, lost visual?”His eyes flickered nervously. “She… walked out. Alone. Mr. Micardo’s men didn’t stop her. She got into a cab.”My fist

    ArynThe morning after that hellish night felt unreal. For the first time in days, no guards shadowed my every move. No cold eyes watching from doorways. No locked doors.Just silence.When the maid came to tell me I was “free to leave,” her voice was too calm, too measured, like she was delivering a death sentence wrapped in silk.“Mr. Micardo said you can go now,” she murmured. “He… wishes you well.”Yeah, fucking right.I didn’t wait for anyone to change their mind. I grabbed my bag, whatever little I had, and stormed out of that goddamn house before my brain had time to process what I was doing. The morning air hit me like a slap, sharp, cold, cleansing. My lungs finally expanded, like they hadn’t in forever.The streets looked the same, but I didn’t. I wasn’t the same woman who had walked into Lorenzo’s world months ago, wide-eyed and pretending to be naive. I hailed a cab. The driver looked at me through the rearview mirror, probably wondering if I was running from something. I

    Aryn“What the fuck did you just say?” The words tore out of me before I even realized I’d moved. My hands slammed against the edge of the table, the sound sharp enough to echo through the room. “What the hell do you mean my parents killed Lorenzo’s parents?”Micardo didn’t flinch. He just lifted a napkin, dabbed the corner of his mouth, and gestured to the chair across from him like I hadn’t just snapped.“Sit,” he said quietly, voice smooth like oil. “It’s a long story.”“I’m not sitting until you explain what the fuck you mean.”He gave me a look, the kind that said he’d dealt with loud, defiant people before and it bored him more than anything. “You will sit,” he repeated, tone heavier this time, colder. “Or I’ll have the guards make you.”I hesitated. My pulse pounded in my temples, hot and fast, but the two guards by the door hadn’t moved an inch, and somehow that made it worse. They didn’t need to move. They knew I’d fold.So I sat. Slowly. My spine stiff as iron, my fingers cu

  • The Mafia's Kidnapped Bride   Chapter 150

    ArynI woke up to the sound of boots coming towards me. They sounded like guards ,My body still felt like it had been poured full of wet cement. My head throbbed. My arms ached from being bound too long. My throat felt scraped raw.I didn’t bother pretending to sleep — the sound was coming straight for me.The door opened with a slow metallic groan. Two men stepped in. They didn’t say a word. One of them pointed at me. The other grabbed a handful of rope and hoisted me up like I weighed nothing.“Hey!” I rasped, twisting weakly. “Where the hell are you taking me?”No answer. Just a grunt.I kicked once, uselessly. The towel slipped, and I grabbed for it on instinct, clutching it tight to my chest. One of the men looked down at me with this bored, almost annoyed expression, like he was carrying laundry instead of a person.They hauled me through a hallway that was brighter, warmer. The smell changed,no more bleach and blood. This place smelled of polish and citrus, maybe even flower
