"What the fuck are you doing here?" I demanded, my voice filled with an edge of pure exhaustion. My hand, still gripping the knife, instinctively dropped to my side, the blade pointing uselessly at the plush carpet. It was a reflex, a futile attempt to appear less armed, as if he hadn't already seen it.

He simply smiled, a slow, familiar curve of his lips. He raised the crystal flute to his mouth, taking another deliberate sip, his eyes never leaving mine. The clinking of the ice in the bucket was the only sound in the suite, increasing the tension. He seemed amused by my surprise.

My gaze flickered around the room. The door was still ajar, a sliver of the brightly lit hallway visible. I slammed it shut with my foot, the heavy wood thudding against the frame. The lock clicked into place with a satisfying finality, as if I could somehow create a barrier between myself and the world outside.

I turned back to him, my eyes narrowed, scrutinizing every inch of his perfectly composed f

  • The Mafia's Kidnapped Bride   Chapter 75

    ArynI stood frozen, my pulse hammering so loud in my ears it almost drowned out his words.The boss wants you.Fuck.My fingers tightened around the knife, the thin metal digging into my palm. Oleg leaned back into the sofa like this was some casual fucking reunion at a shitty diner, like we were going to talk about the good old days instead of the fact that I had spent years clawing my way out of the pit they had all thrown me into.I took a breath that felt like shards of glass sliding down my throat. "I owe your boss nothing," I spat, my voice low, shaking with rage and a panic I could barely keep from tearing me apart. "Dimitri and I had a deal. That's it. That chapter is closed. You can tell your precious boss to go fuck himself."Oleg's eyebrow twitched. For a moment, his expression remained flat — then he tilted his head, almost like he was studying a stray dog barking too close."Dimitri and you had a deal?" he repeated, rolling the words around his mouth as though savoring t

  • The Mafia's Kidnapped Bride   Chapter 74

    Aryn I stood there, the white hotel robe wrapped tightly around me, my hair still absurdly covered by the towel. I walked over to the shattered glass on the door frame, the shards glittering on the plush carpet like malicious jewels. My hand still ached from where Marcus had grabbed me, and my body felt violated, even though nothing truly happened. It was the principle of it, the sheer audacity."Fuck," I whispered. I kicked at a stray shard of glass, sending it skittering across the floor. I needed a shower. I needed to scrub him off me, scrub this whole goddamn night off me.Just as I took a step towards the bathroom, a new sound cut through the silence.Ding-dong.The doorbell.My head snapped up, my body tensing instantly. Who the hell was that now? My mind raced, trying to conjure a logical explanation. Housekeeping? Unlikely at this hour. Another one of Marcus's twisted games? Probably.I hesitated, my hand hovering over the doorknob. My eyes darted around the suite, searching

    Aryn“Marcus—” I started, but before I could even think, he was on his feet.He grabbed me by the wrist so hard I thought he might snap it.“Shit—Marcus, let me go!” I hissed, twisting against his grip.He didn’t even look at me. His dark eyes were fixed on the door, that cold, calculating glint shining like a damn blade. Without saying a word, he dragged me deeper into the suite, past the stupid designer armchairs and glossy marble counters, until we were in the bedroom.“What the fuck are you doing?!” I yanked at his hand, but he pushed me forward, right up against the huge bed.He didn’t answer at first. Instead, he started pulling at the zipper of my dress.“Marcus!” I slapped his hands away, my voice sharp and shaking. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”He leaned close, his breath hot against my neck, his fingers still fumbling at the back of my dress. “It’s either you help me, or I fucking do it myself,” he growled into my ear.I froze.“What... help you? What the fuck d

    Lorenzo "What do you mean, you can't find her?" My voice was a low growl, barely controlled, but the man on the other end knew better than to mistake it for calm. He knew the fury beneath was looking for a way out."Boss, we've checked every exit, every camera feed. She just… vanished. Like a ghost," the voice stammered, clearly terrified. "One minute she was on there in the hotel, the next… nothing. We've got men sweeping the surrounding blocks, checking every alley, every parked car."A ghost. That's exactly what she was. A goddamn phantom, slipping through my fingers like smoke. My jaw clenched so hard I thought my teeth would crack. "She didn't vanish, you incompetent fucks," I snarled, pacing the plush carpet of my penthouse suite. "She left. And she left because you weren't good enough to stop her."I slammed the phone down, the sound echoing in the opulent silence of the room. My chest heaved, a raw, burning sensation spreading through me. Aryn. That little bitch. I had been p

  • The Mafia's Kidnapped Bride   Chapter 70

    Aryn What the fuck was he doing here?My hand, without conscious thought, darted into the small backpack slung over my shoulder. My fingers closed around the cold, hard handle of the utility knife I'd bought at the sporting goods store, a last-minute, desperate impulse purchase. It wasn't a combat knife, just a simple, sharp blade meant for opening boxes or cutting rope, but in that moment, it felt like my only weapon against the terror that was Antonio.I pulled it out, the dull gleam of the blade barely visible in the faint light, and pointed it at him, my hand trembling despite my best efforts to steady it. "Who the fuck are you to me?" I spat, my voice a raw whisper, laced with a fury that surprised even me. "And why the hell are you here? What do you want?"He didn't flinch. Not a muscle in his face moved. He just stood there, a dark silhouette against the distant city glow, his eyes, I knew, boring into mine. "Aryn, Aryn," he said, a sigh in his tone, as if he were disappointed
