MATTEO POV

The wood of the study door didn't just split; it exploded inward, showering the marble floor with jagged splinters.

My arm tightened instinctively around Serenia, pressing her down into the narrow, cramped space behind my desk. Leo was sandwiched between us, his small face buried so deeply into my chest that his breaths came out as warm, damp gasps against my shirt. He was shaking. It was the exact same way his father used to shake whenever the alarms went off in our old compound.

  • The Undercover Nanny And The Mafia King   CHAPTER 12

    SERENIA POV By dinner time, the house had settled into a quiet, heavy rhythm. Leo had completely passed out on the living room rug, his cheek pressed right against the orange plush dinosaur’s belly, with Nacho the tabby curled into a tight ball at his feet. I sat on the edge of the sofa, nursing a warm mug of chamomile tea. My mind kept drifting back to earlier this afternoon—specifically to that moment in the foyer when Matteo tossed me the plastic toy cat. He was looking at me differently, I thought, staring at the steam rising from my mug. Not like a problem he had to manage or a nanny he had to pay off. It was almost like he was trying to see right through me. It was a weird, intense look that made my stomach do a strange little flip, and honestly, it annoyed me how much it stayed with me. He was still the terrifying guy from the shooting, but seeing him pat Leo’s hair with those scarred hands... it messed with how I wanted to view him. The click of the heavy front doors broke

  • The Undercover Nanny And The Mafia King   CHAPTER 11

    MATTEO POV The tinted glass of the rear window rolled down exactly three inches. I stood under the shadow of the concrete portico, my hands buried in my pockets as the black SUV idled near the main steps. Julian was a few paces behind me, his hand resting casually but firmly on the butt of his hidden firearm. After the breakfast conversation about pancakes and the brief, strange moment of quiet on the lawn, the weight of the city came rushing right back the second that vehicle cleared the iron gates. "Matteo," a voice spoke from the darkness inside the car. It was old, dry, and entirely devoid of warmth. Marcus Corvo didn't get out of his vehicle for anyone under the age of sixty. "I hear your house has a ventilation problem. Too many holes in the walls." "The holes have been patched, Marcus," I said, my voice flat and even. "And the men who made them are currently at the bottom of the river. Why are you here?" Corvo let out a dry, rattling cough that sounded like stones scr

  • The Undercover Nanny And The Mafia King   CHAPTER 10

    SERENIA POV By two in the afternoon, the sun had finally broken through the heavy gray clouds, baking the damp stone of the courtyard until thin trails of steam rose from the ground. True to his word, Matteo had cleared the area. I stood by the large glass patio doors, watching three guards in dark suits walk the perimeter of the high stone wall. They weren't hiding their weapons anymore; heavy rifles were slung over their shoulders, their eyes constantly scanning the tree line just beyond the iron gates. "Shoes, Leo," I called out over my shoulder. "No shoes, no backyard." Leo came skidding out of the hallway, wearing a pair of bright red sneakers that looked slightly too big for him. He had the giant orange dinosaur from Clara tucked firmly under his left arm, its tail dragging along the floor. "I have shoes!" he announced, stamping his feet loudly against the marble to prove his point. "Alright, let's go," I said, sliding the heavy glass door open. The air outside was thick

  • The Undercover Nanny And The Mafia King   CHAPTER 9

    SERENIA POV The sudden change in Julian’s posture made the hair on my arms stand up. I moved instinctively, stepping between the kitchen island and Leo, who was still entirely focused on shoving a oversized piece of pancake into his mouth. The three cats, sensing the sudden shift in gravity, bolted under the nearest low cabinet. "Stay here," Julian said, his voice dropping into a flat, professional whisper. He didn't draw his gun, but his hand stayed resting heavily against his belt as he slipped out into the main hallway. The heavy double doors of the foyer groaned open a moment later, followed by the low, indistinct murmur of male voices. I didn't stay behind the island. I grabbed a napkin, wiped a smear of chocolate syrup from Leo’s chin, and told him to keep eating before I slowly crept toward the edge of the kitchen doorway, peering out into the hall. Matteo was already there. He had emerged from his office down the hall, his black t-shirt tight across his shoulders, his arm

    SERENIA POV The flour was exactly where Matteo said it would be, sitting in a huge, spotless glass jar behind a row of expensive, organic cooking oils. I dragged it out onto the marble island, along with a carton of eggs and a bottle of milk I found in the massive, double-doored refrigerator. Leo climbed onto the stool I had just vacated, his chin resting on the edge of the counter as his eyes tracked my every move. He looked like a tiny, watchful supervisor. "Can we put chocolate chips in them?" he asked, his small voice still a little raspy from sleep. "Do we have chocolate chips?" I countered, rummaging through the upper cabinets. "Because your uncle looks like the type of guy who bans fun from the pantry." "Second shelf on the left," a smooth voice called out from the kitchen entrance. I jumped slightly, dropping a plastic measuring cup onto the counter. Matteo was standing in the doorway, a thick stack of folders in one hand and a fresh tablet in the other. He had a pair of

  • The Undercover Nanny And The Mafia King   CHAPTER 7

    SERENIA POV The heavy steel door of the bunker finally groaned open around five in the morning. By then, my legs were entirely numb. Leo had fallen asleep about three hours earlier, his small head resting heavily against my thigh while his little fingers remained tightly curled around the hem of my oversized hoodie. Every time I tried to shift my weight, he would let out a small, anxious whine, so I just stayed completely still, staring at the gray concrete floor until my eyes blurred. Matteo walked into the bunker first. He had changed his clothes. The tailored, blood-stained suit jacket was gone, replaced by a simple, tight black t-shirt that showed off the dark ink sprawling all the way down his arms. He looked exhausted, the dark circles under his eyes sharper than before, but his posture was still rigidly straight. "The perimeter is secure," Matteo said, his deep voice sounding incredibly loud in the small, enclosed space. "You can come up now." I slowly peeled Leo’s fingers

She glanced at me with a look that was equal parts pity and curiosity before slipping out of the study as fast as her legs could carry her.I took the towel and b

    SERENIA POVThe study looked more like a courtroom than an office. It was lined with dark mahogany bookshelves, a massive leather desk sitting right in the center. Matteo Alcantara walked over and took a seat behind it, his presence immediately filling the room.Leo was still attached to his left l

    SERENIA POV The address provided in the automated response text led me to the edge of the city’s most expensive district. I stood outside a set of towering iron gates that looked like they belonged to a medieval fortress rather than a modern residence. There was no family name on the stone pillar.

    SERENIA POVMatteo flipped open the black leather folder, sliding a crisp, multi-page document across the smooth surface of the desk. A heavy, silver fountain pen followed right after it, rolling to a stop right by my coffee cup."That is your employment contract," Matteo said, his voice dropping i
