The morning light filtered through the grand windows of the mansion, illuminating the busy hands of the maids as they cleaned, prepared breakfast, and exchanged whispers about the newest resident of the house: Lina.

“She thinks she’s the queen already,” one maid muttered as she dusted a vase.

“Did you see how she strutted in last night?” another added with a scoff.

“Poor Miss Aurora,” Luna whispered, shaking her head. “She doesn’t deserve any of this.”

Lina, however, was far from concerned about what anyone thought. She lounged in the sitting room like she owned the place, dressed in a silk robe with a smug smile playing on her lips. She waved at Luna, who was passing by with a tray.

“You, maid,” Lina called, her voice sharp and demanding. “Come here.”

Luna stopped in her tracks, hesitating for a moment before she walked over. “Yes, ma’am?”

“I need a drink. Go to the kitchen and get me something refreshing. And don’t take all day,” Lina snapped.

“Yes, ma’am,” Luna replied, bowing slig

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    into the wolf's den

    The ride back to Lucas’s house felt endless. Aurora sat stiffly in the corner of the carriage, her hands shaking. She tried to make herself as small as possible, hoping he wouldn’t speak to her.But Lucas didn’t need to say anything. His silence was worse. She could feel his cold eyes on her, watching her every move, and it made her stomach twist in fear.When the car finally stopped, Lucas stepped out first. Then, without a word, he reached inside and grabbed Aurora’s arm.“Get out,” he snapped, his grip tight.Aurora stumbled out of the carriage, trying to keep up as he dragged her up the stone steps to the house.“Lucas, please,” she whispered, her voice trembling.“Walk faster,” he growled. “You’ve embarrassed me enough for one night.”His words made her flinch, but she said nothing. She just let him pull her through the large front doors. The servants in the hall didn’t look at her. They bowed their heads and stepped aside as Lucas stormed past, dragging Aurora with him.They wen

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    Shattered vows

    The carriage ride back to the estate was silent. Lina sat beside Damian, her emerald gown shimmering faintly in the moonlight that filtered through the window. Her gloved hands rested on her lap, her fingers tapping idly against one another as she stole glances at him.Damian, however, sat stiffly, his gaze fixed on the passing scenery outside. His jaw was tight, his expression unreadable, but his mind was anything but calm.Aurora.He had seen her if only for a fleeting moment. That brief glimpse had set his entire world spinning. How was she there? Why? And who had brought her?“Damian,” Lina’s voice broke through his thoughts, sweet and measured, like a woman who knew her power.He didn’t respond, his eyes still on the window.“Damian,” she repeated, her tone firmer now. “You’ve been quiet all night. What’s wrong?”Finally, he turned his head, meeting her gaze with cold, detached eyes. “Nothing,” he said shortly.She tilted her head, her lips curving into a small smile. “Nothing? O

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    a devil's display

    The grand hall was alive with chatter and laughter, the sound of clinking glasses and soft music filling the air. Guests in elaborate suits and gowns moved gracefully through the room, their faces alight with false smiles and whispered secrets. The wedding of Damian and Lina was the event of the season, a display of power and wealth no one wanted to miss.Lucas stood near the entrance, his tall frame draped in a sharp black suit that seemed to absorb the light around him. His piercing eyes scanned the crowd with the precision of a hunter. Beside him, Aurora stood trembling, her delicate form wrapped in a simple dress that contrasted sharply with the extravagance around her.She had wanted to refuse, to beg not to come, but Lucas’s warning still echoed in her mind.“You will come with me,” he had said earlier, his voice cold and final. “And you will do as I say. If you try to run, Aurora, I’ll make sure you regret it for the rest of your life. Do you understand?”“Yes,” she had whisper

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    seed of defiance

    The days blurred into one another for Aurora. Each morning brought new tasks, new humiliations, and the same oppressive weight that pressed on her chest. Her master’s shadow loomed over her constantly, his voice echoing in her ears even when he wasn’t near.He didn’t need to remind her of his power. She felt it in the way the maids averted their eyes, in the way her steps faltered when she was summoned, in the way her heart raced when she heard his voice.But something inside her was changing.At first, it had been a flicker—small, fragile, almost nonexistent. But now, that flicker was growing into something stronger. It wasn’t courage, not yet. It was anger. Quiet, smoldering anger that lay beneath the surface of her fear.A Miserable Morning“Move faster, girl!” His voice thundered through the room as Aurora scrubbed the floor on her hands and knees. The wooden bucket beside her sloshed, spilling water onto the clean tiles. She winced, bracing herself for the storm.He was standing

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    a predator's call

    Aurora sat on the small cot in the corner of her room, her knees pulled up to her chest. Her heart hadn’t stopped racing since she woke up that morning, and every sound outside the door made her flinch. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something terrible was coming.The room was quiet except for the faint rustling of her own movements. The air was cold, heavy, and oppressive, as if the very walls were watching her. She stared at the worn floor, trying to calm herself, but her thoughts were a storm of fear and dread.Then it happened.A loud knock on the door echoed through the room, making her jump.“Come!” a deep, commanding voice barked from the other side.Aurora froze. She recognized the voice. It was him—her new master.She didn’t move at first, her body paralyzed with fear. But the door creaked open, and a tall figure stepped into the room, his presence filling the space. He didn’t have to say a word. The air around him was enough to make her chest tighten.He looked down at

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    the devil's bargain

    Damian stood before the large, ornate mirror in his study, adjusting the silver cufflinks on his tailored black suit. His expression was calm, almost detached, but his mind was anything but. Thoughts of Aurora lingered in the back of his head, a shadow he couldn’t shake no matter how hard he tried.She was gone because of Lina.The woman’s scheming had torn Aurora from him, but if Lina thought she’d won, she was sorely mistaken. Damian’s lips curved into a cold, calculating smile. He would make Lina pay, but not in the way she expected.A soft knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.“Come in,” he said, his voice low but commanding.The door creaked open, and Lina stepped inside, dressed in an elegant emerald gown that hugged her slender frame. Her red lips curled into a smug smile as she approached him, her heels clicking against the hardwood floor.“You called for me, Damian?” she asked, her tone sweet but laced with mockery. “I hope it’s to thank me for handling that little… pro
