The silence in Damian’s car was suffocating. His knuckles were white against the steering wheel as he sped through the empty streets, his mind clouded with fear and rage. He had searched everywhere every alley, every corner of the city but there was no sign of Aurora. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.

The thought of her being alone, scared, and hurt made his chest tighten. He slammed his foot on the brakes, the car screeching to a halt in front of the decrepit warehouse his sources had pointed him to.

Damian stepped out, his breath visible in the cold night air. The building loomed before him, dark and uninviting, but he didn’t hesitate. He pushed through the broken door, the metal groaning under his force. Inside, the smell of oil and rust filled his nose, but the sight was worse empty crates and dust-covered machinery scattered everywhere.

No Aurora.

“Damn it!” he hissed, slamming his fist against a nearby wall. His voice echoed through the hollow space, but it brought hi

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    lost and alone

    Aurora sat on the floor, her wrists raw from the rough ropes that bound her. The cold stone beneath her seeped into her skin, making her shiver. The dim light of the room flickered, casting long shadows that moved like ghosts. She stared at the locked door, every sound making her flinch. Her heart pounded so loudly that it drowned out her thoughts.She wasn’t sure how long she had been there—hours, maybe even a full day. Her mind raced with questions, but the biggest one lingered: Where was Damian? Did he even know she was gone?The door creaked open suddenly, and Aurora’s head snapped up. Two men stepped inside, both large and menacing. They wore black suits, but the wrinkles and stains on their shirts showed they were used to getting their hands dirty.Behind them came another figure, one that froze Aurora in place. Damian’s father.His sharp features were just as she remembered. The same piercing eyes that had stared her down when she first met him. The memory hit her like a slap.

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    his anger

    Damian's eyes burned with fury as he took a step toward Lina, his hands balled into tight fists at his sides. His heart was pounding in his chest, his thoughts spinning. He had known something was wrong, but hearing Lina's words made the air feel thick, suffocating. His body moved on instinct, and before Lina could take another breath, Damian grabbed her by the neck, lifting her off the ground and slamming her against the wall.Her breath hitched, her eyes wide with shock, but she didn't struggle as much as he expected. Maybe she was too surprised to react, or maybe she was finally realizing just how dangerous this situation had become.Damian leaned in close, his face inches from hers, his voice low and dangerous. “If anything happens to Aurora, Lina,” he growled, tightening his grip around her neck, “I swear to God, I will make you regret it.”Lina’s hands clawed at his wrist, trying to loosen his grip, but her efforts were weak. Her lips trembled as she tried to speak, her voice ba

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    she is kidnapped

    Damian looked up at Lina, his eyes narrowing. There was something about her demeanor that felt off, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. She was standing a little too close, her smile a little too wide.“I’m fine,” he said, his voice cold. “Just... wondering where Aurora is.”Lina’s smile didn’t falter. “Oh, she’ll be fine. You know, sometimes people just need a little time to themselves.”Damian’s brows furrowed in suspicion. “She’s been gone too long for that. Where is she?”Lina’s expression softened, and she stepped closer to him, her hand lightly brushing his arm. “Damian, you worry too much. It’s just an errand. You’ve been overprotective of her from the start. Let her handle things on her own.”Damian didn’t respond immediately, his mind racing. The nagging feeling in his chest was growing stronger by the second. Something was wrong. He had trusted Lina’s words, but the emptiness in his gut told him to act, to do something, anything, before it was too late.Meanwhile, Aurora s

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    falling into the trap

    Aurora stood in the grand hall, her fingers clutching the edge of her apron nervously as Lina barked orders.“You’ll go into the city for me,” Lina said with a syrupy sweet smile that didn’t reach her cold eyes. “Pick up a package from the address I’ll give you.”Aurora blinked in surprise. She had never been sent out of the mansion before. The thought of leaving, even for a brief errand, unsettled her.“I’ve never done this before,” Aurora said hesitantly.Lina’s smile grew sharper. “There’s a first time for everything, isn’t there? It’s a simple task, Aurora. Or is even this beyond you?”Damian, who had been silently observing from the doorway, stepped in. His dark eyes bore into Lina. “Aurora doesn’t go out. Send someone else.”Lina raised a perfectly arched brow. “Why? Is she so fragile she can’t run an errand? Or are you afraid she’ll run away?”Damian’s jaw tightened. His hands clenched at his sides, but he didn’t respond immediately. He turned to Aurora instead. “You don’t have

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    The tension grows

    Aurora had been in the room all morning, pacing back and forth. Her thoughts were tangled, her mind racing. She couldn’t stop thinking about the way Damian had been acting lately. His coldness, his distant demeanor it was like he was a completely different person.She paused by the window, staring out at the garden. The sun was shining, but it felt like everything around her was dark. She wasn’t sure what to do anymore. Every step she took seemed to be leading her into more trouble.Suddenly, there was a knock at the door."Aurora?" It was Damian’s voice, low and calm, but there was something else there. Something that made her heart skip a beat.She quickly wiped her face, making sure she didn’t look like she’d been crying. "Come in," she said, trying to sound normal.Damian stepped inside, his eyes locking onto hers. For a moment, they just stood there, staring at each other. Then, without a word, he walked over to her."Why are you looking so upset?" he asked, his voice quieter tha
