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
The Vengeful Mafia Kings’ Property 117: Russia
Adriana’s POVI didn’t sleep not even a second. I laid on the couch wirj arms wrapped around a cushion that didn’t smell like anything but clean fabric and detergent. My eyes kept tracing the cracks on the ceiling like they might rearrange themselves into some kind of answer. I wasn’t waiting for slee though, was waiting for a sign. For something to make this feel less like a mistake. Every now and then I glanced at the door, where all our bags sat lined up like little soldiers ready for orders. I hadn’t unpacked because I didn’t dare to make another comfort. The idea of staying long enough to fold things into drawers felt dangerous. Like false hope and betrayal at the same time. My chest felt like it was stuffed with rocks and my brain was too full of memories to think clearly. All I could do was wait for Isabella to wake up and for Nathan to show up.When I finally heard the soft rustling down the hall and the tiny yawn I knew by hear I sat up slowly wiping the sleep I didn’t ge
The Vengeful Mafia Kings’ Property 116: Favorite mistake
Adriana’s POVI didn’t sleep because I couldn’t. My body lay motionless under the covers but my mind was alive and burning and storming. Every word my so-called stepbrother said kept playing on repeat like a broken record in my head. Every possibility and every implication and every threat. I was numb and overstimulated all at once caught in the kind of mental spiral that makes time feel like a slow, cruel drip. At some point I’d drifted to the edge of sleep, not fully in it and not fully out of it. Just floating.And that’s when I heard the knock. I sat up slowly, my heart flipping over in my chest. No one knocked on my door like that unless…… The door creaked open before I could even say anything and just like that Rafael walked in closing the door behind him like he owned the night.My heart stuttered and not in the romantic way no. It was violent like it slammed against my ribcage and got stuck there. He looked too good even though I’m sure he didn’t go back to the estate since h
