ARYN

Everything after the gunshot felt like my brain had been dropped onto concrete and left there, shattered into a million useless pieces.

Someone was yelling my name, a sound that reached me warped and distant, like it was coming from deep underwater.

His blood was everywhere, he was losing blood. Way too much fucking blood.

I pressed my hands to his chest frantically, like I could physically hold his life inside his body if I pushed with enough sheer will.

He needed a doctor but he was far from home

Which meant his family doctor, the one who patched him up quietly in a hidden clinic, off-record, wasn’t anywhere near us. Waiting for "our people" to mobilize, to send the specialized medical team, or dragging him across state lines to some hidden, secure safe house would take too damn long. Lol

He’d bleed out before anyone played mafia chess.

“No,” I snapped, when one of his men, was about to make a phone call. “No fucking safe house.”

The man looked at me like I had finall

    ARYNMarcus rubbed his eyes with the back of a hand, swearing softly. “She’s real, right? I’m not hallucinating again? Because earlier I thought the sphinx statue was talking to me about ammo reserves.”I snorted, the sound dry and tired. “You hallucinated earlier, Marcus?”“Long story involving a head wound and four cups of coffee.”Before Marcus could elaborate, the front door burst open. Lily, her hair disheveled, her face smudged, but her eyes bright with sudden, fierce hope, gasped when she saw me.“Oh my God—Aryn!”She ran forward and hugged me too, as much as her belly could allow.“You are okay,” she whispered shakily into my shoulder, her tears immediately soaking my shirt.“Lily,” I said, hugging her tightly.“You remember?""As if I could ever forget you for a long time."She laughed through her tears, the sound utterly joyful. "Next time, if you must leave, promise not to disappear during a fucking all-out mafia war, okay?""It was while Lily and I were still locked in our

    ARYNThe drive back was annoyingly long even though Arya was driving fast , herspeed bordering on reckless, determined to reach our destination before dawn. One hand gripped the steering wheel, knuckles white; the other occasionally left the wheel, reaching over to brush my arm or my thigh, a quick, almost imperceptible gesture, like she needed to confirm through touch that I was still solid, still present, still there.My head rested against the cold glass of the side window. “Still with me, Aryn?” Arya asked quietly, her focus absolute on the road, but her voice laced with concern.I nodded slowly, the movement jarring my tired muscles. “Yeah. I’m just… heavy.”As Arya guided the car off the main highway and onto the long, familiar private road leading to the estate. We saw thick smoke curling into the sky..“Oh fuck,” Arya muttered. She eased her foot off the accelerator.The gates were broken. Bullet casing glittered on the asphalt and in the gravel.“What the hell happened here

    LORENZO Gunfire erupted from multiple angles simultaneously. Rounds ripped through the manicured hedges hammered the front façade of my ancestral house like it was made of fucking paper. Above us, shattered glass rained down from the second-floor windows.“Cover the left flank! Stefano, watch the driveway approach!” I roared. My voice was amplified by pure adrenaline.Marcus was beside me providing surprisingly effective cover. He fired back relentlessly, his movements sharp but worryingly reckless, his massive frame vibrating with barely contained fury. “I’ll fucking kill him! I swear to God I will!”The rage was understandable. But rage made you slow, made you stupid.“Stay alive first, you idiot!” I bellowed. I grabbed his shoulder and shoved him roughly behind a thick, cylindrical pillar supporting the portico just as a concentrated burst of automatic fire chewed viciously into the stone where his head had been a fraction of a second earlier. Dust and stone fragments flew, stin

    ARYNThe moment Dimitri laughed, I knew one thing with certainty:He had to die. Today.I recognized the laughter somehow.“Bring it on,” he said again, the challenge ringing out, almost jovial, considering the circumstances. He spread his arms wide, a gesture of almost theatrical invitation. “Let’s see what’s left of you, little rose.”Little rose. The nickname....was familiar.Arya shifted closer to me. Her body angled just enough to shield mine from Dimitri’s direct line of sight, though she didn’t look at me, keeping her focus entirely on him. It was a reflex, an instinctual, protective movement.“You talk too much,” Arya said coldly “All men like you do. You think your words are weapons, but they’re just noise.”Dimitri’s gaze, which had been fixed on me, slid to her. It was a lazy movement, full of insolent boredom, “And you are smarter than I expected, twin number one but you’re still the wrong twin.”He turned back to me, “You,” he said, his voice dropping to a soft, intima

  • The Mafia's Kidnapped Bride   Chapter 186

    ARYNI didn’t know how long I stayed hidden.Time stopped meaning anything when fear settled into my bones. I was pressed into the narrow space behind a false wall panel—knees drawn to my chest, breath shallow, hand clamped over my mouth. The room smelled like dust and old concrete, and every sound echoed too loudly in my ears.Footsteps and voices and men.I breathed in through my nose and tasted metal.The cut on my arm had bled more than I expected, soaking into the sleeve I’d torn to use as a bandage. I’d tied it tight—instinct, not memory—and somehow the bleeding had slowed. That alone scared me. I didn’t remember learning how to do that.A sound shifted behind me and hand brushed my shoulder.I almost screamed.The sound clawed up my throat, sharp and panicked, and I spun violently, elbow flying instinctively toward whoever had touched me—And stopped. It was Arya. She clapped a hand over my mouth before any sound could escape and pulled me into a silent, bone-crushing hug.“I’

  • The Mafia's Kidnapped Bride   Chapter 184

    ARYNThe first thing I registered was the pulsing pain in my head. It felt like someone had driven a chisel right behind my eyes and left it to vibrate. The second thing was the dizzying smell of stale ether. The third was the black, suffocating darkness.I was awake, but I couldn't see.I realized my hands were tied, painfully tight, behind my back. My ankles were also bound, restricting my movement to a desperate, useless thrashing. There was coarse material digging into the bridge of my nose, and I realized I had a heavy cloth bag over my head.Oh, God. Oh, God, oh, God.I tried to scream, but the bag smothered the sound into a pathetic, choked whimper. I had been kidnapped.“Arya!” I managed to gasp, the name barely audible even to my own ears. Where was she? Did they get her too? I prayed she had gotten away, that she had gone straight back to Liam or, Lorenzo.I wrestled against the ropes, but they were thick and cut painfully into my wrists. Stop fighting, Aryn. You need to k
