ANASTASIA’S POV

I felt a dull and aching pain in my head as I opened my eyes to the bright room I was in. My throat felt dry and sore, making every breath I took feel like hell.

I forcefully opened my eyes, but everything was blurry. The air smelled different. I could feel breeze coming in from the window to my right, making the sheer white curtains flutter. For a few seconds, I looked around the room. This wasn’t my room.

Where was I?

Then, it hit me.

The fire.

The memories of the fire, heat, and suffocating smoke replayed back in my mind. I remember Nolan’s voice calling my name and trying to wake me up.

I felt another sharp pain course through my throat making me clutch, wincing in pain. My breathing felt irregular as if my lungs were the ones on fire last night.

“Anastasia?”

I turned my head slightly to where the voice came from. Nolan’s mother was standing at the door holding a tray with a bowl and a bottle of water in it.

“Water”, I managed to say as I pointed at the tray i

  • The Mafia‘s Shared Love   Chapter 92

    EPILOGUEANASTASIA’S POVThe soft afternoon breeze rustled through the leaves, swaying the tall trees in the empty private park. The sunlight came through the tree branches in soft lines, casting golden patterns on the grass.I sat on the picnic cloth spread over the grass with my arms wrapped loosely around my knees as I watched Hailey dash across the open space with her bubble stick.She giggled wildly as she waved the stick through the air, bubbles floating into the sky before popping in soft, invisible bursts.“Mommy, look!” she squealed and ran toward me, her little legs carrying her across the open space as she swung the bubble wand with dramatic flair as bubbles danced into the air, floating around her like tiny enchanted orbs. One burst against my cheek as she got closer, laughing mischievously.“You got me!” I laughed, grabbing her and pulling her into my lap. “Tickle monster’s coming!” I warned and dove my fingers into her sides. Her giggles filled the empty air as we tumble

  • The Mafia‘s Shared Love   Chapter 91

    ANASTASIA’S POVI stood by the window as I watched Camila’s car drive out of the compound. The headlights disappeared into the darkness, swallowed by the trees lining the road. I crossed my arms over my chest involuntarily as a chill ran down my spine.There was a strange weight in my chest, like a knot that wouldn’t loosen. I wanted to believe he would be okay, the mission would be successful, and he would come back like he said.I turned from the window, picked up the throw pillows on the floor, and began tidying the living room. The table was cluttered with empty mugs and pieces of paper from earlier strategy sessions. I stacked them neatly and arranged everything, trying to distract myself.Max appeared silently in the doorway like a shadow. “You should get some rest,” he said in a calm, steady voice.I gave him a faint smile. “I could say the same to you.”He shrugged. “I’ll just check the perimeter first. Make sure things are secure.”“That’s a better idea,” I agreed. He nodded

  • The Mafia‘s Shared Love   Chapter 90

    NOLAN’S POVIt was already dark outside when I stood by the window, arms folded, watching fog settle over the field. The silence in the house felt heavy, like we were waiting for something. Tonight, I was going after Ivan. No more running and hiding. Behind me, I could hear Dimitri and Camila going over the plan for tonight.I turned and walked down the short hall to the bedroom where Anna and Hailey were. Anna sat in the rocking chair, cradling Hailey, gently humming some old lullaby. The sight nearly undid me.Anna looked up at me with a smile as I entered. “She’s finally calm,” she said, sounding exhausted.“That’s great,” I nodded and stepped closer. “I want to say goodbye before I go.”Anna adjusted Hailey in her arms so I could take her. Hailey stretched her tiny hands as I held her in my arms.“You look tired,” Anna said softly. “Sit on the bed.”“It’s going to be a long night,” I muttered as I settled on the bed."Don't let this turn you into him," Anna said quietly as she se

  • The Mafia‘s Shared Love   Chapter 89

    IVAN’S POVI hadn’t slept.Not even a wink.My jaw ached from how hard I’d been clenching it, and my phone had been glued to my hand all night. Every hour, I called her number again, even though I knew I’d get nothing but her voicemail.My men were scattered across the city, pulling every string we had—contacts, cameras, informants, even bribing airport personnel and gas station clerks.Still nothing.No one had seen her.No one had heard a thing.And that fact alone told me she didn’t do this alone. Nolan must have helped her.I sat at the head of the long dining table that had been turned into a makeshift command center. Three laptops were open in front of me, each screen displaying different feeds—security cameras from local streets.“She had help,” I muttered, my voice low, simmering. “She wouldn’t have pulled this off alone.”“Obviously.” Klaus didn’t look up. “You maybe wanna grab her parents?”I leaned back and let out a slow breath through my nose. “Nah, suggesting that alone

    NOLAN’S POVThe car rumbled softly as Dimitri drove through winding roads and quiet intersections. The city lights faded behind us, replaced by wide stretches of empty land and tall trees that looked like shadows in the night.Camila’s tail lights blinked in the distance as we followed her car down an almost invisible road. The farther we drove, the quieter it became.“Where the hell is this place?” Dimitri muttered beside me, eyes narrowing.“I don't know, but it’s discreet. That’s what we need right now,” I replied, looking around.Finally, Camila's car slowed and turned onto a gravel path hidden behind a row of overgrown bushes. A few feet later, a small bungalow nestled between thick trees and shielded by a long fence and sliding gate. It was simple, but private. No neighbors in sight. Just silence and space.“Well, this could work,” Dimitri said, parking behind Camila.I stepped out of the car and looked around. The air was cooler here. And for the first time in weeks, I felt lik

  • The Mafia‘s Shared Love   Chapter 87

    IVAN’S POVI parked across the street and leaned back, letting my eyes scan the house, especially the window in the nursery.There was no movement.The cream-colored blinds she always kept half-drawn were closed, and there was no soft glow of the lamp she usually left on.I narrowed my eyes and looked down at my watch. It was 10:34pm.Usually, by this time, she'd be putting Maya to sleep. Sometimes she sat by the window after, curled up with that little blanket draped over her legsBut tonight? There was nothing.I stepped out of the car and walked up to the front door of the house. I rang the doorbell once and waited, but there was no answer.I knocked next. “Anna?” I called out in a stern tone, but there was still no response. I reached for the handle and twisted it. The door creaked open with an ease that made my skin crawl. Anna never leaves the door unlocked. I closed the door behind me with a soft click and stood still for a moment, listening.There was no sound from Maya, no
