Arya laughed, low and breathy, the way she used to—like the world was a joke only the two of us understood. Her eyes sparkled as she leaned in close, straddling my lap. Her skin glowed, golden in the flickering candlelight. Her fingers traced my jaw, her smile playful, almost shy.

"Hey stranger." She said.

Is.....is this real?

"You missed me, didn’t you?" she whispered.

I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. My throat was dry, mouth parted, body aching with need. I just nodded like a fucking idiot, because I had missed her. Missed her so much it carved holes in my chest every damn day.

Her lips grazed my neck, her breath hot, then her teeth—soft, teasing. I groaned, my hands gripping her waist, dragging her down against the hard line of my arousal. She gasped, hips rolling against mine. That sound—God, that sound—I used to live for it.

Her fingers slid under my shirt, nails skimming over my ribs. I shuddered, my head falling back as her tongue flicked over my collarbone. I was burning

  • The Mafia's Kidnapped Bride   Chapter 87

    Aryn’s POVThe first thing that registered was the splitting headache. It felt like a tiny, angry gnome was inside my skull, swinging a pickaxe with every beat of my heart. My mouth tasted like a desert, and my tongue felt like sandpaper. I groaned, a pathetic, strangled sound, and tried to burrow deeper into the pillow, wishing for the sweet oblivion of unconsciousness.But oblivion wasn’t coming. Instead, a dull ache in my lower back, combined with an unfamiliar softness beneath me, forced my eyes open.The room was dark, heavy curtains blocking out any hint of morning light. But even in the gloom, I could tell this wasn’t my room at the DeLuca mansion. The ceiling was different, plain and unadorned, not the ornate, gilded monstrosity I was used to. The air smelled… neutral. Like a hotel. Not like old money and betrayal.Panic, cold and sharp, began to prickle at the edges of my hangover. Where the hell was I?I tried to sit up, but my muscles protested, screaming in protest. Every

  • The Mafia's Kidnapped Bride   Chapter 86

    ArynI wanted to answer him. I really did. My mouth opened, but all that came out was a giggle. A stupid, drunken giggle. The words were stuck somewhere behind my tongue, refusing to form. My head swam, the lights spun, and the bass pounded so hard it felt like my brain was trying to escape my skull.“Can’t talk, huh?” he chuckled, and his hand, big and warm, reached out and grabbed mine. He tugged, gently, and somehow, I stumbled off the stage, landing right in front of him. The ground swayed beneath my feet, and I leaned into him instinctively, my hand still in his.“Mmm, pretty,” I mumbled, looking up at him. His face was still a blur, but his smile seemed friendly enough. “You’re pretty.”He laughed, a deep rumble. “You’re a firecracker, aren’t you? Let me get you another drink, beautiful.”“Drink!” I clapped my hands, a little too loudly. “Yes! More drink! This stuff is good. Sweet. So sweet.”He led me through the crowd, his grip firm on my hand. We reached the bar, and he leane

  • The Mafia's Kidnapped Bride   Chapter 86

    ArynWe walked out into the cool night air. A sleek black car was waiting at the curb, its engine purring softly. A driver, a hulking man with a shaved head, opened the back door for us. I slid in, Marcus following, settling beside me.As the car pulled away from the mansion, I finally let out a long, shaky breath. The weight of the house, of Lorenzo, of Isabella, felt like it was slowly lifting.“So,” I said, turning to Marcus, “about this whole family tradition thing. Why the hell are we living with your aunties and uncles anyway? I thought you guys were, like, super private.”He shrugged, leaning back against the plush leather seats. “It’s tradition. When a DeLuca gets married, the extended family moves into the main estate for a period. To… welcome the new spouse. To ensure the lineage is strong, all that old-world bullshit.”I scoffed. “Bullshit is right. Why didn’t they live with us from the beginning?”He smirked. “Because you were on your honeymoon, Aryn. The extended families

    Aryn“You know,” Marcus said, leaning against the doorframe of the guestroom we had entered, a smirk playing on his lips, “I know a place that could really take your mind off things.”I looked up from where I was sprawled on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. The dinner had been a fucking nightmare, and Isabella’s presence still felt like a sticky film all over me. My head throbbed, not just from the wine, but from the sheer exhaustion of pretending I didn’t care.“Oh yeah?” I deadpanned, not bothering to sit up. “And where the hell is that, Luca? A padded cell? Because that’s about the only place I want to be right now.”He chuckled, a low, rumbling sound. “Better than that, I promise. Think… loud music, flashing lights, no DeLucas in sight. Unless you count me, of course.”I squinted at him. “What are you talking about?”“A club,” he said, pushing off the doorframe and walking further into the room. He stopped by the window, looking out at the dark gardens. “A place where you

  • The Mafia's Kidnapped Bride   Chapter 84

    Chapter 84Aryn’s POVYou know that moment when you think surely, nothing else can fucking go wrong today? Yeah, I thought that too. Right before Queen Bitch Barbie herself slithered out of whatever crypt she sleeps in and tossed her venom into the air like confetti. Isabella.God, I hated her.She stood there with that smug fucking smirk like she’d just walked in on us fucking on the stairs instead of—oh, I don’t know—me verbally gutting Marcus. Her heels clicked against the marble floor as she walked toward us, each step echoing like a ticking time bomb in my already fucked-up day.“Jesus fucking Christ,” I muttered under my breath, pinching the bridge of my nose. “Did Satan himself send out invitations to ruin-my-life day or are you bitches just psychic?”Marcus shifted awkwardly beside me, clearing his throat like that would somehow make all this disappear. “Isabella,” he said, voice tight. “Now’s not the time—”She held up a perfectly manicured finger. “Shh. Let the grownups spea

  • The Mafia's Kidnapped Bride   Chapter 83

    ArynI stood there, seething, watching the black car disappear down the road. Every fiber of my being vibrated with pure, unadulterated rage. That arrogant, condescending son of a bitch! How dare he leave me stranded like that, all for the benefit of his little airport floozy? I swore I would get him back for this, and it wouldn't be with a polite note or a well-mannered confrontation. This was war.Just as I was about to consider walking all the way back to the mansion, a sleek, black SUV pulled up beside me. The window rolled down, revealing a face I didn't recognize but whose eyes held a flicker of amusement."Mrs DeLuca?" the driver asked, his voice calm, almost too calm. "Mr. DeLuca sent me to pick you up."I scoffed, yanking the door open and practically throwing myself into the backseat. "Oh, he did, did he? How incredibly thoughtful of the bastard." I slammed the door shut, making the driver flinch slightly. "Next time, tell your 'boss' to go fuck himself."The drive back was
