The door to the bedroom slammed shut as Damian stormed out, leaving Lina curled on the bed, trembling. The air in the room was heavy with the aftermath of anger and humiliation. Her body ached, and her tears had soaked the pillow beneath her.

Moments later, the door creaked open again. Two maids entered, their faces blank but their eyes betraying a flicker of pity.

“Miss Lina,” one of them said softly. “We’ve been told to help you clean up.”

“Leave me alone,” Lina spat, her voice hoarse from crying. Her hair stuck to her damp face, and her dress hung limply on her bruised shoulders.

The maids exchanged a glance but didn’t move. “We can’t do that,” the other maid replied cautiously. “Mr. Damian gave us orders.”

Lina let out a bitter laugh, her hands clutching the edge of the bed. “Of course, he did. Always giving orders, always making sure everyone knows he’s in charge,” she muttered under her breath.

“Miss Lina, please,” one maid said, stepping closer. “Let us help you.”

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    A deadly scheme

    The Grand Hall was still lively, but the energy had started to fade. Some of the guests were slouched in their chairs, their glasses empty, while others chatted quietly, their earlier enthusiasm dimming as the night stretched on.Raphael entered the hall, his steps brisk but calm, masking the storm of frustration and worry brewing inside him. He scanned the room, his sharp eyes taking in the remaining guests and the brothel girls who lingered nearby.One of the guests, a middle-aged man with a rosy face from too much wine, raised his glass when he saw Raphael. “Ah, Raphael! You’re back!” he called out, his voice cheerful. “Where’s Damian? Still busy?”Raphael forced a polite smile, though his heart wasn’t in it. “Damian sends his regards,” he said smoothly. “But he won’t be joining us again tonight.”There were a few murmurs among the guests, some exchanging curious glances. Another man, younger and bolder, chuckled. “Still working, is he? That man doesn’t know how to relax!”Raphael’

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    A house divided

    Raphael stormed down the hallway, his footsteps echoing off the walls. His jaw was clenched, and his fists were tight at his sides. The anger bubbling inside him was like a volcano ready to erupt.As much as he and Damian didn’t always get along, he couldn’t stand the thought of someone deliberately hurting his brother. And now, every instinct in him pointed to Lina.“She has something to do with this,” Raphael muttered under his breath.He reached Lina’s door and didn’t bother knocking. He shoved it open with such force that it slammed against the wall, making Lina, who was sitting at her table, jump in surprise.“Raphael?” Lina said, spinning around to face him. “What are you doing? You can’t just barge into my room like this!”Raphael didn’t answer immediately. He walked across the room, his movements quick and angry, and grabbed her arm, pulling her to her feet.“Raphael!” Lina cried, her voice rising in shock and fear. “What’s wrong with you? Let me go!”Raphael’s eyes burned w

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    Enemy within

    The party was still going strong, the guests laughing, drinking, and enjoying themselves. Raphael smiled as he clinked glasses with a group of businessmen, but inside, he felt uneasy. Something wasn’t right.He hadn’t seen Damian all night, and even though he had reassured the guests, a nagging feeling told him to check on his brother.Excusing himself from the group, Raphael made his way through the crowded hall. His sharp eyes scanned the room, making sure no one was paying too much attention as he slipped out into the quiet hallway.“Damian,” he called softly, his voice echoing slightly against the tall ceilings.The silence felt heavy, and Raphael’s steps quickened as he headed toward Damian’s room. His brother’s absence was unusual, and Raphael knew Damian wouldn’t just leave him in charge unless something was wrong.“Damian!” Raphael called again, louder this time. His voice carried an edge of worry.When he reached the door to Damian’s room, he hesitated for a moment. He knocke

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    The missing host

    The Grand Hall was alive with noise and movement. Laughter echoed through the large space, mingling with the soft clink of glasses and the low hum of conversation. The brothel girls moved gracefully around the room, keeping the men entertained with flirtatious touches and coy smiles.At the center of it all, Raphael stood with a confident air, his easy charm making him the focus of attention. He held a glass of wine in one hand, his sharp eyes scanning the room as he kept track of the evening’s events.One of the older gentlemen, a tall man with graying hair and a commanding presence, approached Raphael with a curious expression. “Raphael,” the man said, his voice deep and smooth, “I haven’t seen Damian for a while now. Where is he?”Raphael’s lips curved into a relaxed smile, though his mind raced to come up with an answer. “Ah, you know my brother,” he said casually, taking a sip of his wine. “Always busy, always working.”The older man raised an eyebrow, clearly not satisfied with

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    Burning inside

    Damian sat on the edge of the bed, his breathing heavy and uneven. His shirt stuck to his skin, damp with sweat. His head felt foggy, as if he were in a dream that he couldn’t wake up from.His body burned, a fire spreading through his veins, making it impossible to sit still. He stood up abruptly, pacing the room, but every step felt heavier, like his legs were made of lead.“What the hell is happening to me?” he muttered, dragging a hand through his damp hair.The heat was unbearable. It wasn’t just physical—it was inside him, clawing at his sanity. He tried to focus, to push the strange sensation away, but it only grew stronger.He stumbled to the nightstand and grabbed his phone with trembling hands. His fingers fumbled as he scrolled through the contacts, his vision blurry. Finally, he found the name he was looking for: Raphael.Damian pressed the call button and held the phone to his ear, his heart pounding loudly in his chest.The line rang a few times before Raphael’s familiar

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    A night of manipulation

    Lina leaned against the wall on her room's door, her heart racing with excitement. She hadn’t seen Luna leave, and her mind filled with satisfaction.“It worked,” Lina whispered to herself, a wicked smile curling her lips. “He couldn’t resist her. And that maid... she’ll make sure the truth never comes out.”Her fingers played with the edge of her dress as she imagined how Damian’s downfall would unfold. If anyone ever found out about him being with Luna, Aurora would never forgive him, especially when she woke up.“This is perfect,” Lina muttered, her eyes gleaming.Luna, meanwhile, hurried back to her small room. She kept her head down, her mind filled with questions about Damian’s strange behavior. As she entered her room, she closed the door quietly behind her and leaned against it, letting out a shaky breath.“What was wrong with him?” she murmured to herself, her brow furrowing.She walked to her small bed and sat down, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. “He wasn’t himself,”
