Rafael’s POV

I stood at the edge of the bed watching the slow rise and fall of Adriana’s chest and making sure she was still breathing. The bandages on her shoulder were clean, the color returning to her face little by little but she still looked so fucking fragile and too pale against the dark sheets.

A part of me hated seeing her like this all weak and vulnerable. Another part of me hated that I cared enough to stay here and that I did what I did. It’s just that the thought f someone hurting her that wasn’t me didn’t seat well with me.

Nathan hovered by the doorway with arms crossed and his jaw clenched so tight I could hear his teeth grinding. He hadn’t spoken much since I brought Adriana back but his eyes had said enough.

“She’s stable. There is nothing more you can do for her now.” I said in a firm but low voice knowing I had to keep it down.

“She almost died.” His fingers curled into fists at his sides. I think he has repeated that for the billionth time now.

“I fucking kn

  • The Vengeful Mafia Kings’ Property   123: Albanian Queen

    Rafael’s POVI sat in my office not really sure what time it was. The blinds were still half shut from yesterday and I hadn’t touched the glass of whiskey that had been sitting on my desk for the past two hours. The ice had melted and the amber liquid had turned pale like even it had lost its spirit. Ididn’t blink or even shift. I just sat there like a goddamn statue while my mind a battlefield of decisions and regret and violence. And then Elira walked in like she owned the damn place. The last time I saw her she was smirking at me across the room and her eyes were laced with secrets and threats and that rich Albanian arrogance that came with knowing the world would always bow to your father’s empire. But today?Today she looked different. She walked in slowly almost cautiously like she wasn’t sure how I’d react. Her black coat hugged her like armor and her face was pale like she hadn’t slept in days. Her heels clicked on the marble floo but there was no confidence in her steps.

  • The Vengeful Mafia Kings’ Property   122: Baby 2

    Adrianna’s POVI didn’t think I could feel more lost than I already had but apparently life had other plans. Russia felt like a snow globe someone forgot to stop shaking. The silence here was different because it wasn’t comforting like the kind I had sometimes felt when Isabella fell asleep in my arms after a long day. No. This silence pressed into my bones. It followed me from room to room and filled in the gaps in my thoughts and the spaces where once Rafael’s voice echoed or Isabella’s giggles rang. It followed me in the early mornings when frost is on the window panes and it haunted me late at night when all I could do was lay still and stare at the cracked ceiling.I think it’s also bringing out the writer in me because why the hell am I thinking like a poet that I used to be? I was reminded of the many ones I’ve written for my mother and Rafael and even Lily at some point. I hadn’t told Nathan about the pregnancy yet. He’d given me enough money to last for a while and handed o

  • The Vengeful Mafia Kings’ Property   121: Edge

    Rafael’s POVThe night didn’t end just then. It just stretched into an endless loop of silence and strategy and hollow thoughts and the sound of my own rage thumping quietly in my skull. I didn’t sleep because every time I closed my eyes, I saw the townhouse burning again and heard Isabella’s laugh echoing faintly in the back of my mind. I’d give anything just to hear her say my name again. I kept picturing Adrianna’s face with the slight worry that always crept into her eyes even when she was pretending everything was fine. There was so much I didn’t get to ask her. So many things I’d never hear from her lips now. She should’ve told me but she didn’t deserve this. Neither of then fucking did!And it all happened because of me. I’ll never be able to forgive myself for this kind of hurt I’ve caused them. By the time the sun cracked through the windows of my office I was already pulling up the security feeds of the street where the townhouse had been. Nothing. The cameras stopped reco

  • The Vengeful Mafia Kings’ Property   120: Confirmed DNA

    Rafael’s POVI didn’t even wait to process what Anthony said. The second the words left his mouth and I was already out the door with keys clenched in one hand and the DNA test result still balled up in the other. It fluttered uselessly in the wind like it meant nothing now. My driver barely managed to keep up as I stormed into the SUV and slammed the door shut my voice low but urgent as I ordered him. “Drive. Now.” My heart pounded so violently I could hear it in my ears and yet my brain refused to catch up. It couldn’t be them. Not Adrianna and not my daughter Isabella. Not after everything we have went through. Not when I just found out the truth after six fucking years. It was like the universe gave me the final piece to the puzzle only to smash the entire board to pieces before I could even blink.By the time we reached the townhouse, the street was cordoned off with yellow tape and a thick smoky haze still hanging in the air like the aftermath of a nightmare. Emergency lights

  • The Vengeful Mafia Kings’ Property   119: Burnt townhouse

    Rafael’s POVThe air outside felt too still for what I held in my hand. The morning was beautiful with clear skies and a soft wind brushing against the everywhere and birdsong in the background like a delicate melody. It was the kind of day most people would call peaceful or serene even. But inside me the chaos swirled so loud very sharp that I could barely hear the wind. I could barely breathe. I stared at the paper again clutched between my fingers already creased from how tightly I’d been holding it since it arrived.Isabella is my daughter. My daughter!!! My flesh and freaking fucking blood!The DNA results didn’t just confirm it but they screamed it. A hundred percent match. Not even a whisper of doubt. And yet, I kept rereading the numbers and the names like somehow the truth would morph into something else if I stared long enough.But it didn’t but it remained stubbornly and brutally real. Adrianna lied to me. She fucking knew. All this time (six goddamned years) she walked ar

  • The Vengeful Mafia Kings’ Property   118: Mercy or warning

    Adriana’s POVThe living room was dark except for the soft, flickering light of the television screen. The only other glow came from the dim lamp in the corner casting a warm hue over the room that did nothing to match the cold feeling tightening in my chest. Isabella was curled up on my lap with her head gently resting just above my knee nd her tiny breath rising and falling in rhythmic moves. I had one hand resting lightly on her backs my fingers subconsciously stroking through her curls. She was the only warmth I had right now. The only person I could call my own. I wasn’t even watching the news really. My eyes were on the screen but my mind was far away all tangled in threads of paranoia and confusion and exhaustion that had wrapped themselves around me since we got here. And then the news about the pregnancy that I hope is a scare. Russia was supposed to be safe like a temporary escape or a limbo where I could just breathe and figure things out but the silence was starting to
