The dining room buzzed with conversation as the guests enjoyed their meals. The long table was filled with a variety of dishes, from roasted meats to fresh salads and fine wine. Damian sat at the head of the table, his face calm, though his mind worked silently.

He sipped his wine, his sharp eyes scanning the room. Businessmen laughed and toasted to success, their voices loud and confident. Lina sat to his right, smiling politely, though her gaze often wandered toward the brothel girls waiting in the Grand Hall.

Raphael sat farther down the table, leaning back in his chair with a glass of whiskey in hand. He seemed relaxed, but Damian knew his brother well enough to know he was paying attention to everything.

At the far end of the table, Mr. Taylor cleared his throat, drawing the attention of the room.

“Gentlemen,” Taylor began, his voice steady and deep. “I think it’s time we discuss the real reason we’re here tonight.”

The chatter quieted as everyone turned to listen. Damian leaned

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    forever yours

    Days passed. The hospital slowly quieted down.Damian’s arm was healing, though he still wore a sling. Catherine was recovering from her surgery and blood loss. Luna was weak but stronger, her bruises fading little by little. Aurora stayed close, never letting go of her baby, who seemed to bring light into the ward with every tiny sound.For the first time in a long while, they all felt safe.One sunny afternoon, the group gathered in the hospital garden. The air was fresh, the grass green, and the sound of birds almost felt unreal after all the gunshots and screams they had endured. Aurora pushed Luna’s wheelchair forward, her baby giggling softly in her arms. Catherine walked slowly beside them, still bandaged but smiling faintly.Damian stood waiting, Raphael at his side. Both men were dressed simply, but there was a fire in their eyes—a fire that wasn’t rage this time, but something softer.Aurora narrowed her eyes playfully. “Why are you both standing like that? You look suspicio

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    the rescue

    Just as Aurora whispered her apology to Luna, the heavy iron door swung open again. The room chilled.Ryker strolled in, his hands buried deep in his pockets, his steps calm, like he had all the time in the world. His eyes locked on Aurora, and a slow smirk spread across his face.He pulled out his phone. “Time to call your savior,” he said coldly. “Better tell him to come get you… or else you won’t last long.”Aurora’s heart hammered as she clutched Luna tighter.Ryker dialed. The line rang once before Damian’s voice came through.“I assume you know who’s talking,” Ryker drawled before Damian could speak. Then he pressed the phone against Aurora’s ear.Aurora gasped. “Damian! It’s me—” her words tumbled out in a rush, her voice breaking. “Luna and Catherine are in bad shape, Damian—” But before she could say more, Ryker yanked the phone away.“Well, Damian,” he sneered, “I guess we’ll meet again. If you really want to save your dear woman, head straight to Blackwood Warehouse, Pier

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    they're kidnapped

    Damian’s jaw tightened as Raphael’s broken words echoed in his ear. He gripped the phone so hard his knuckles turned white. “What the fuck is that supposed to mean, Raphael? Aurora, the baby, Catherine… and now Luna? All kidnapped? By Ryker?”Raphael’s voice was ragged, every word pulled through clenched teeth. “I’m coming to your place right now.” He ended the call before Damian could reply.Damian cursed under his breath and paced the blood-stained floor. His chest felt like it was caving in. Restless, he yanked out his phone again and dialed another number.“Get over here. Now,” he barked the second one of his men picked up.He dropped onto the couch in the sitting room, his leg bouncing as he raked both hands through his hair. The silence in the mansion was suffocating, broken only by the occasional sobs of the terrified maids.An hour later, the front doors opened and his boys stormed in. The first thing they saw were the corpses. Without a word, they moved the dead bodies out, l

    The banging on the bedroom door grew louder, each slam rattling the furniture Catherine had shoved against it. The baby whimpered in Aurora’s arms, and she rocked her desperately, whispering into her tiny ear, “Shhh… please, baby, please…”“Quiet,” Madam Catherine hissed, pressing her back against the door, her gun trembling in her bleeding hand. Her face was pale, but her eyes burned with focus.Aurora shook her head, tears streaking down her cheeks. “Why? Why are you risking your life for me?” she whispered harshly, her voice cracking. “You’re bleeding… you’ll die because of me.”Catherine’s jaw tightened. She let out a shaky sigh, almost a laugh, but filled with pain. “Because Damian’s always been good to me,” she said, eyes flicking to the door that threatened to burst open at any moment. “He’s the reason I’m still alive. I owe him. Protecting you and that baby… it’s my way of saying thank you.”Aurora blinked at her, confused. “What do you mean? What exactly did he protect you fr

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    Shut up

    Before Damian could even step out of the building, the informant suddenly threw his head back and laughed, blood spilling out the corner of his mouth.“You shouldn’t waste your breath,” he spat. “By the time you get home… Aurora and the kid will be gone.”Damian froze mid-step. “What?” His voice came out sharp, almost a growl. He spun back, storming over and grabbing the man by the shirt. “The fuck do you mean by that?!”The man coughed, smirking through the blood. “Heh… You really don’t know, do you? After that little business deal with Ryker the one where your daddy killed his father he’s been hunting you down for years.”Damian’s eyes narrowed. “Huh? What the hell are you talking about?”“Your father killed Ryker’s father just to take control of the embezzled funds,” the man said, almost like he was enjoying Damian’s confusion. “And greedy bastard that he was, he didn’t stop there. He had Ryker’s sister killed too just a damn college student. And you know what? Ryker was supposed t

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    they're watching us

    Damian sat in the living room with Aurora, his hand gently brushing through her hair as she rested her head on his shoulder. The baby was asleep in the crib nearby, and the house was quiet. It was one of those rare peaceful moments he didn’t get often, and he cherished it.His phone buzzed on the coffee table, breaking the calm. Damian sighed, reaching for it. When he saw Carter’s name on the screen, his expression hardened. He kissed Aurora’s forehead and stood.“I need to take this,” he said softly, walking to the other side of the room before answering.“Carter,” Damian said, his tone sharp. “What’s going on?”“I’ve got him,” Carter replied, his voice smug. “The informant you’ve been looking for. He’s in my custody now.”Damian’s grip on the phone tightened, his eyes narrowing. “Where?” he demanded.“There’s an uncompleted building on the east side of town,” Carter said. “I’ll send you the exact location. But you should know... this wasn’t easy. I had to move fast before he disappe
