The tension in the sitting room was palpable as the maids exchanged wide-eyed glances, still trying to process the fiery confrontation that had just unfolded. Aurora stood tall, her head held high, even though her heart was pounding from the intensity of what had just happened.

Damian entered the room, his usual calm and commanding presence filling the space. His eyes locked on Aurora, and for a moment, something flickered in his gaze pride, admiration, and maybe something more.

Without a word, Damian walked straight toward Aurora. She turned to face him, confusion knitting her brows as she met his intense gaze. Before she could utter a single word, he leaned down and scooped her into his arms effortlessly.

Gasps echoed around the room. The maids froze in their tracks, their mouths hanging open. Even Lina, who had just stormed out a moment ago, peeked from the hallway, her expression one of utter disbelief.

“Damian, what are you doing?” Aurora whispered, her voice shaky as her arms in

  • 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

    Aurora sipped the glass of water, her hands trembling so much she spilled a few drops on the bedsheet. She set it down on the table beside her and glanced at the maid, who sat silently at the edge of the bed, looking at the floor.The silence stretched, heavy and suffocating. Aurora’s voice broke it, soft and shaky. “What’s your name?”The maid looked up, surprised. “Maya,” she said quickly, like she hadn’t expected the question. “My name is Maya.”“Maya,” Aurora repeated, tasting the name like it was foreign. She nodded slowly. “Why did you help me?”Maya hesitated, her fingers twisting together in her lap. “I don’t know if you’d call it help,” she said finally. “I did what I could. But… I know how it feels.”Aurora tilted her head, her eyebrows drawing together in confusion. “You know how it feels?”Maya’s face tightened, her eyes darting to the door as if she was afraid someone might be listening. She leaned closer, lowering her voice to a whisper. “I’ve been here for years, Aurora

  • The Mafia's mistress (His temptation)    fragile morning

    The first thing Aurora became aware of was the ache in her body. It was a dull, all-encompassing pain that radiated from her core and seemed to weigh down every limb. She stirred slightly, her movements sluggish, her eyelids heavy as if they were weighed down by bricks.“Miss,” a soft voice whispered, pulling her from the haze of unconsciousness. “Miss Aurora… are you awake?”Aurora’s eyes fluttered open, the morning light filtering through the tall, velvet-draped windows. The room was quiet, almost serene, a sharp contrast to the storm of emotions raging inside her chest.The ache between her legs brought the memories crashing back, and she flinched, a sharp gasp escaping her lips as her breath hitched.“It’s okay,” the voice soothed. “You’re safe now.”Safe? The word felt hollow, meaningless. She turned her head slowly, her vision adjusting to see one of the maids sitting beside her. The young woman’s face was pale, her eyes shadowed with worry and pity.“You fainted last night,” th
