Lorenzo stood, blue eyes locked on Brandon like he was a stain on his shoe.

“Leave,” he said. One word. No shouting. No rage.

Just deadly calm.

Brandon scrambled to his feet, rubbing his shoulder and glaring between us. “This isn’t over.”

Lorenzo tilted his head, a slow smile spreading across his face. But it wasn’t warm—it was the kind of smile you see just before someone gets shot.

“Then I suggest you enjoy the time you’ve got left.”

Brandon’s face paled. He opened his mouth like he was about to say something else—but thought better of it. He turned and stalked down the hallway like a dog with its tail between its legs.

Lorenzo waited until he was out of sight before turning to me.

I dropped my eyes immediately, my body still pressed to the wall, arms wrapped around myself like I was scared.

Because that’s what he expected, right?

The scared, delicate girl.

I let my voice shake. “T-Thank you.”

He didn’t say anything for a long moment. I could feel his eyes on me,

    LorenzoArya 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

    ArynThe next morning, I stood in the kitchen like I knew what the hell I was doing.Spoiler alert: I didn’t.The maids hadn’t made me shit for breakfast, again. I wasn’t surprised. Just annoyed. Maybe it was on purpose. Maybe they forgot. Or maybe they just didn’t think the boss’s awkward little wife deserved a meal. Whatever the reason, my stomach didn’t care. It growled like a demon straight from hell, and I decided if no one was going to feed me—I’d feed my damn self.I wasn’t completely useless. I mean, the food I made for Marco the other day had been decent, right?Okay—confession.I didn’t actually make it.It was already cooked and in the fridge. All I did was heat it, plate it like some low-budget MasterChef contestant, and pray for the best.Marco hadn’t said a word about it. Not a thank you. Not even a “fuck off.” Just silence. I don't even know if my plan had worked. At least thank God Lorenzo's nosy aunts hadn't come back to the house. I only liked Claudia and I wondered

    Aryn The next morning, I woke up before the sun even considered rising. Lorenzo's bed was empty and my body hurts because of the awkward position I had slept in yesterday.I sat up slowly, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, and glanced at the nightstand.There it was. Still.Lorenzo’s black card.I stared at it like it might vanish. Like it was a dream I wasn’t supposed to be having. That thing could probably buy a small island. And he gave it to me.Not one of his surgically-enhanced sugar babies.Not his cold, glassy-eyed assistants in heels taller than their IQs.Me. I suppose I could feel a little honored.The awkward girl the maids mocked when they thought I couldn’t hear. The one who didn’t belong in silk sheets or marble-floored mansions.So, no—I wasn’t gonna use it to buy a fucking smoothie or whatever. I had a goal.Marco.He'd been sulking in that room since the day he got here. Like a storm cloud with a grudge. No greetings. No eye contact. Just grunts, cigarettes, and whisk

    ArynIt hit me a week after Marco came to live with us. The maids hated me.It was like a slap in the face the next morning when I walked into the kitchen and the same maid who had once dragged me like I was a piece of rag to meeting Lorenzo’s aunties from hell gave me that fake-ass smile again. She bent her knees, lowered her head, and said with a sugary voice, “Good morning, madam.”Madam, my ass.There was something mocking in the way her lips curled, like she knew I couldn’t do shit about the way she and the rest of them treated me. Her words said respect, but her tone? Her eyes? It screamed bitch, you don’t belong here.And that was when it clicked.It wasn’t just her. It was all of them. Every single one of those polished, smiling maids who walked around like they owned the fucking house. They’d pretend to bow, pretend to serve, and then the moment my back was turned, they’d whisper, laugh, and plot.And the worst part?They weren’t scared of me.They weren’t even trying to be s

    ArynI was just about to dig into the last delicious piece of lasagna when the door swung open. A maid stepped in, looking like she was on a mission. I didn’t think much of it until she walked straight to Claudia, her presence almost commanding. She didn’t even need to say a word."Mrs Claudia," the maid said curtly, "Your husband requests your presence."Claudia’s face paled instantly. I watched as her lips pressed into a thin line. For a moment, I wondered if she would argue or ask questions. But no. Instead, she flashed me a tight, almost fake smile, before nodding at the maid."Of course," Claudia said in a calm, collected voice.She stood, smoothing down her dress as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and then she left, the maid trailing behind her. The door clicked shut behind them, leaving me in the kitchen alone, still holding the fork that had been inches away from the lasagna.I sighed.The food had been perfect. Rich. Satisfying. The perfect escape from the cha

  • The Mafia's Kidnapped Bride   Chapter 19

    ArynI changed my mind.Whatever plan Liam had for me—get close to Lorenzo, lure him in, maybe soften him enough to bend—I was done with it. Over. Canceled. Because being near that man was like playing chicken with a speeding train while strapped to the tracks. Dangerous. Reckless. Stupid.He wasn’t just a threat to my body. He was a fucking disaster to my mind.I couldn’t think straight around him. Couldn’t breathe properly. My brain short-circuited every time he looked at me, talked to me, touched me. The worst part? He knew. He saw through every little reaction and stored it like ammo for later. He was the kind of man who’d kiss you just to watch you fall apart—and laugh while doing it.And I wasn’t going to be one of those girls. Not again.So I pulled myself together after the bath incident, ditched the soaked clothes, and dried off in the servant’s quarters like some damn ghost. I didn’t speak to anyone. Didn’t want to. My thoughts were a mess, my emotions scrambled, and I neede
