The final bell rang.

A sharp, echoing sound that signaled freedom for most students.

But for Isabella Lombardi, it only meant another stretch of time where her thoughts would have room to wander.

And lately, that was the last thing she needed.

She packed her books slowly, deliberately, as if dragging out the process would somehow delay everything waiting for her outside that classroom.

Her mind hadn’t been still all day.

Not for a second.

Every time she tried to focus, her thoughts drifted to t

    The drive felt longer than it actually was.Not because of distance, but because of the silence.Isabella sat beside him, her hands folded tightly in her lap, her thoughts racing faster than the car cutting through the quiet streets.She had no idea where he was taking her.And yet, she hadn’t asked him to stop.That alone unsettled her.The city gradually faded behind them.Its noise, its chaos, its crowded energy, replaced by something calmer.More secluded.By the time Lorenzo finally slowed the car, Isabella noticed something immediately.This place he had brought her to, felt hidden.The road was lined with tall trees, their branches forming a natural canopy overhead. The houses here were spaced far apart.Private, distant, almost secretive.Lorenzo turned into a driveway.The gates opened automatically.And then she saw it.A house.Beautiful.Elegant.But not in the loud, extravagant way she had seen at the Valenti mansion.This one was different.It felt…peaceful.Warm.Almost

  • The Mafia's Princess   Twenty One

    As Isabella Lombardi stepped off the bus, her mind still tangled in unease with everything Valeria had said.Something didn’t sit right.Her pace quickened as she approached her apartment building, her fingers tightening around the strap of her bag.Her mother.The word echoed in her mind again.Urgent.That was what Valeria had said.But the moment Isabella stepped into the compound, her steps slowed.Then stopped.Because parked directly in front of her building, was a car she didn’t recognize.Sleek. Black. Expensive.Out of place in a neighborhood like hers.Her heart skipped.A strange feeling crept up her spine.Then the driver’s door opened.Isabella's breath caught instantly, because the man stepping out of the car was the last person she expected to see.Don Lorenzo Valenti.Her pulse skyrocketed.“What…?”The word barely left her lips.He closed the car door slowly, his movements calm, controlled, as though he had all the time in the world.As though this moment had been ine

    The final bell rang.A sharp, echoing sound that signaled freedom for most students.But for Isabella Lombardi, it only meant another stretch of time where her thoughts would have room to wander.And lately, that was the last thing she needed.She packed her books slowly, deliberately, as if dragging out the process would somehow delay everything waiting for her outside that classroom.Her mind hadn’t been still all day.Not for a second.Every time she tried to focus, her thoughts drifted to the party.To Alessandro.To that moment.And then, inevitably...to him.Don Lorenzo Valenti.Her fingers tightened slightly around her pen.“Stop it…” she muttered under her breath.She couldn’t keep thinking about him.She shouldn’t be thinking about him.But her body betrayed her every time his face crossed her mind.The intensity.The way he looked at her.The way his voice sounded when it dropped low...Isabella shut her book a little harder than necessary.“I need a break,” she whispered.A

  • The Mafia's Princess   Nineteen

    The school courtyard buzzed louder than usual that afternoon.Clusters of students gathered under shaded areas, laughter echoing, and gossip flowing like wildfire.And at the center of one of the loudest groups stood Alessandro Valenti.Relaxed.Confident.Like nothing in the world could touch him.But beneath that calm exterior, something darker simmered.“Bro, stop playing with us.”One of his friends nudged him, grinning. “You expect us to just believe you?”Another chimed in, laughing. “Exactly! You’ve been bragging for days now. Where’s the proof?”Alessandro leaned back against the low wall behind him, a lazy smirk playing on his lips as he took a sip from his drink.“Why would I lie?” he asked casually.“Because it’s Isabella,” someone shot back. “The ‘untouchable’ one.”A few of them laughed.“Miss ‘I’m waiting for the right person,’” another mocked.Alessandro's smile tightened slightly.That title…That reputation…It irritated him more than it should.Because it made what h

  • The Mafia's Princess   Eighteen

    The school grounds buzzed with its usual morning energy.Students moved in clusters, laughter echoing across the courtyard, conversations overlapping in a chaotic rhythm that felt too normal.Because for Isabella Lombardi, nothing felt normal anymore.She walked through the gates slowly, her bag hanging off her shoulder, her steps lacking their usual lightness. Her eyes scanned the familiar surroundings, but her mind wasn’t there.It was elsewhere.Caught between last night and this morning.Between fear and something she couldn’t quite name.Her fingers tightened slightly around her bag strap.The delivery.The gift.The note.All of it made Isabella realize that Don Lorenzo Valenti meant what he said..."you're mine."Isabella exhaled slowly.“Get yourself together,” she muttered under her breath.School.Focus.Routine.Maybe that would help her feel grounded again.Maybe.She had barely taken a few more steps when she heard her name.“Isabella!”Her body stiffened instantly.She di

  • The Mafia's Princess   Seventeen

    Morning came slowly for Isabella.Not gently.Not peacefully.But like a weight pressing down on her chest.She had found it hard to sleep last night. And even when she eventually did, it had been restless. Fractured. Filled with flashes of memories she couldn’t fully piece together but couldn’t escape either.Rain.A gunshot.His voice.His eyes."You’re mine."Isabella stirred in her bed, her brows furrowing slightly as she turned, clutching the edge of her pillow like it might ground her.It didn’t.Nothing did.Her eyes fluttered open eventually, heavy and reluctant.For a moment, she simply stared at the ceiling.Trying to breathe.Trying to think.Trying to convince herself that last night was real.Because if it wasn’t, then why did her chest still feel tight?Why did her body still remember him?Why did her heart still race at the thought of him?Isabella swallowed, pushing herself up slowly.“No…” she whispered to herself.She couldn’t think about that.Not now.Not ever.She
