Aryn

"Can't it?" I challenged, a faint, knowing smirk playing on my lips. "Or won't it?"

He just stared at me, his eyes dark and unreadable, and I knew he wouldn't give me an answer. He couldn't. Not when the air between us was still thick with the aftermath of that kiss, a silent, vibrating hum that spoke of raw, undeniable desire. He wanted me. And damn, I wanted him too.

The thought hit me like a physical blow, a sudden, undeniable truth that settled deep in my gut. I wanted Lorenzo. Not just the thrill of the chase, not just the danger, but him. The way his hands felt on my skin, the taste of his mouth, the guttural sounds he made when I pushed him. It was a terrifying, exhilarating realization. He was a monster, a ruthless man who dealt in violence and secrets, but he was also the only one who had ever made me feel this alive, this seen. This… wanted.

And in that moment, standing there, still breathless from his kiss, a new kind of resolve hardened within me. I was going to sleep

  • The Mafia's Kidnapped Bride   Chapter 96

    Aryn Brandon. Fucking Brandon. Standing on that stage, bathed in the cruel glow of the chandeliers, a fucking gavel in his hand, his face a mask of detached professionalism as he pointed to the rows of monstrously wealthy bidders. He was auctioning children. My ex-fiancé, the man I’d once thought I loved, was a part of this.Marcus, sensing my sudden rigidity, nudged me. “Aryn? What the hell is it?”I couldn’t speak. I just pointed, a trembling finger aimed at the stage. Marcus followed my gaze, and his eyes narrowed. “Well, I’ll be damned. Brandon Hayes. The little shit cleaned up nice.”“You know him? And for fuck's sake, cleaned up?” I hissed, my voice a raw whisper. “He’s auctioning kids, Marcus! What the fuck is going on?”We had already put on the masks Marcus had procured from the trunk of his car – simple, elegant black half-masks that covered our eyes, common enough in these high-society, illicit gatherings to not draw attention. They were meant to conceal our identities, b

  • The Mafia's Kidnapped Bride   Chapter 95

    Aryn“Who is the boss?” I snarled, pressing the barrel of the pistol against the man’s forehead. His eyes, wide with terror, darted between me and the little girl tied to the chair. Claudia was still sobbing quietly, clutching the child, who was slowly stirring.The woman, still on the ground where Marcus had tackled her, let out a choked laugh. “You think we just give up names, bitch? You think it’s that easy?”I kicked her in the ribs. Hard. She gasped, a pained grunt escaping her lips. “Try me. Or I’ll make sure you regret every fucking breath you’ve ever taken.”The man flinched. “Okay, okay! The boss… he’s just a middleman. He handles the… the acquisitions. The real boss, the one who runs the show, she’s known as ‘The Collector.’ Nobody sees her. Nobody knows her name.”“Acquisitions?” Marcus scoffed, stepping closer. “What the hell are you acquiring?”The woman, spitting blood, finally spoke, her voice laced with venom. “Little girls, you dumb fuck. That’s what. Pretty, innocent

    ArynRyan grinned like the psychopath I knew him to be. “Now we’re talking.”He reached over to the far desk and pulled up a grainy zoomed-in image of the woman who picked Amelia up. She had on a maid uniform, but her posture was too upright, too confident. Her face was partially turned away from the camera, but you could still make out the smoothness of her skin, the high cheekbones, the sharp jaw.“She’s not a random,” Ryan said, gesturing at the screen. “I’ve seen this kind of thing before. Trained. Probably ex-military, or cartel. Could be freelance. Either way, she’s good.”Claudia gasped. “No… but—my husband—”“Is useless,” I cut in sharply. “He’s not here. You are. So let’s fucking focus.”Claudia clenched her purse tightly and nodded.“Where would someone like her go?” Marcus asked, folding his arms. “What’s the first move?”Ryan tapped the monitor again. “Well, I tracked the car out of the school zone to a street camera near the west industrial park. After that, it vanishes.

    ArynI stared at her like she’d grown another head.“You?” I asked, my voice a stunned whisper. “You’ve been delivering the letters?”Claudia wiped at her cheeks with trembling fingers, nodding. “Yes… yes, I was. I was trying to protect you, in my own way. Arya asked me to.”I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. My brain was short-circuiting. This woman—this dramatic, polished, unpredictable woman—was behind the mysterious letters I’d been receiving? What the actual fuck?“I swear I’ll explain,” she said quickly, sensing the explosion brewing inside me. “But right now… we have to find Amelia. She’s just a baby.”I ran my hand through my hair, dragging in a long breath. “Fuck.”Claudia watched me with red-rimmed eyes. “Please, Aryn.”“Fine,” I said after a beat, reaching for my phone again, not to call the police, but someone I knew could move in the shadows without creating a fucking scene. “But you’re explaining everything. Later.”"I will."“Oh, you better fucking do,” I muttered

  • The Mafia's Kidnapped Bride   Chapter 92

    ArynMy hand froze on the doorknob. Every instinct screamed at me to lock the door, barricade myself in, and pretend I hadn’t heard a damn thing. I was done. Done with the drama, done with the accusations, done with this family and their endless insanity. But the sound… it had been too real, too desperate to ignore.Against my better judgment, I pulled the door open, just a crack at first, then wider, peering out into the hallway. The grand staircase stood a few meters away as I contemplated coming out, but a frantic shuffling sound drew my gaze towards the living area downstairs.Oh! Fuck this.I rushed to the landing, leaning over the railings. And that’s when I saw Claudia.She was usually so composed and impeccably dressed, but now she was sprawled on the polished marble floor of the grand foyer, a crumpled heap of designer fabric and shaking limbs. Her hair was dishevelled, her face streaked with tears, and she was sobbing loudly, like her world had just shattered into a million

    Aryn“You bitch!” I moved back on the bed, my hand instinctively reaching for the heavy water carafe on my nightstand. Marcus’s food was forgotten.Her eyes locked on me like I was something she’d waited years to destroy. “Who the fuck are you?” I demanded, my eyebrows rising at the surprise of it all. I didn't even know the girl. But just in case my grip tightened on the carafe. One wrong move, and I was going to crack her over the head with it. I had no idea who she was, but her sheer audacity was enough to make my own anger spark.She stopped a few feet from the bed, her chest still heaving, a sneer twisting her lips. “Who am I?” she spat, her voice laced with incredulity, as if my question was the most idiotic thing she’d ever heard. “I am the one who is supposed to be in that position you are in!”My brows furrowed. That position? What, sitting on a bed, feeling like a hot mess after a traumatic night and a shocking revelation?Before I could process that, she continued, her vo
