Down in the subterranean command center, the lingering weight of Julian's words hung heavy in the air. Damien eventually gave a short, dismissing nod, traded the heavy atmosphere of the bunker for the quiet solitude of his private upper suite, and headed straight for his ensuite bathroom to wash off the lingering tension of the day.

Upstairs, my phone call with Zara had finally ended, leaving my mind buzzing with a strange, intoxicating mix of confidence and nervous energy. Zara's words kept ec

  • The plus size girl: The mafia secret    Chapter 41 — Aftermath and Ashes

    The grand ballroom of the high society gala was now a tomb of shattered glass, flashing red and blue lights, and stunned silence. The elite who had spent the evening sneering at us were now huddled together in miserable clusters, staring blankly at the federal agents who swarmed the stage. David was led away in cold steel handcuffs, his face pale and slack with shock as his life’s work evaporated into thin air.Beside me, Damien kept his arm firmly wrapped around my waist, his dark eyes surveying the chaos with cold, indifferent amusement. The flashing emergency lights bounced off the emerald silk of my gown, casting a dramatic glow over the wreckage of my family's empire.Zara walked over, stepping gracefully over a puddle of spilled champagne with a triumphant smirk plastered across her face. She smoothed down the front of her crimson cocktail dress and flipped her hair over her shoulder."Well," Zara purred, her voice dripping with lethal satisfaction, "that certainly escalated won

  • The plus size girl: The mafia secret    Chapter 40 — The Grand Reckoning

    Up in the expansive dressing room of the estate, the atmosphere was a mix of intense focus and glittering excitement. Zara and I had spent the last two hours turning the suite into a personal glam room. When we finally stepped back from the full length mirror, even Zara let out a low whistle of absolute triumph. The transformation was nothing short of breathtaking. Years ago, the high society circles had frozen me out, mocking me as the overweight, overlooked girl they could easily discard, strip of my inheritance, and leave on the street with nothing. But the girl they remembered was gone. Months of survival, rebuilding, and sheer unyielding willpower had carved a stunning, statuesque figure out of the ashes, dropping down to a sleek, striking 110 pounds. The dress I wore was a masterpiece of modern haute couture. It was a custom emerald green silk velvet gown that liquidly hugged every contour of my frame. The bodice featured an intricate, high collared halter neckline crafted fr

  • The plus size girl: The mafia secret    Chapter 39 — The Night We Finally Stayed

    The heavy iron pots were finally cleaned, the countertops wiped down, and the vast, marble kitchen had completely shifted from a chaotic battleground of culinary opinions into a warm, inviting sanctuary. The rich, savory scent of the meal we had all prepared together lingered in the air as we gathered around the sprawling dining table.Everyone at the table already knew we were together the news had been fully out in the open since the entrance celebration earlier and that only made the teasing flow even more freely.Julian was busy stealing a roasted potato straight off Zara’s plate with a lightning fast fork maneuver, earning himself an immediate, theatrical swat on the arm."If you touch my food again, Julian, I am permanently locking you out of the estate firewall," Zara warned, her eyes flashing with playful menace as she pointed her knife at him, though a bright, knowing grin ruined the threat entirely.Julian laughed, leaning back in his chair with an effortless, cocky swagger.

  • The plus size girl: The mafia secret    Chapter 38 — Shadows and Strategy

    Miles away from the warm, sunlit halls of Damien’s estate, the atmosphere was entirely devoid of laughter. In the sleek, soundproofed perimeter office of a high-rise on the other side of the city, the air was thick with tension and the bitter scent of stale espresso. Adrien Vance stood by the floor to ceiling glass windows, his jaw clenched so tightly a muscle twitched in his cheek. Below him, the metropolis twinkled with millions of indifferent lights, but right now, those lights felt like a mocking reminder of his current humiliation. "Explain it to me again," Adrien said, his voice dangerously low as he turned away from the glass to face the room. "And make sure I understand how a multi million dollar corporate infrastructure was brought to its knees by an unknown ghost in our system." Seated across the modern mahogany desk, David shifted uncomfortably in his chair, tapping a nervous rhythm against the polished wood. The failure of the cyber attack wasn't just a technical setb

  • The plus size girl: The mafia secret    Chapter 37 — A Full House and New Beginnings

    The massive double doors of Damien’s estate swung open as we walked up the stone pathway hand in hand, with Julian and Zara trailing closely behind us. The moment we stepped into the grand, sunlit foyer, Marcus, the impeccably tailored head butler, materialized with his usual serene grace, pausing instantly when he caught sight of our intertwined fingers and the radiant, unrestrained smiles on our faces. Zara didn't waste a single heartbeat before letting out a gasp of pure astonishment, her jaw practically dropping as her eyes swept across the soaring vaulted ceilings, the sweeping double staircase, and the glittering crystal chandelier overhead. "Holy mother of luxury," Zara breathed out, spinning in a slow circle as she took in the palatial expanse. "Sheba, are you sure we didn't just accidentally walk onto the set of a royal movie? This place isn't a house, it's a whole zip code!" Julian chuckled richly from beside her, crossing his arms with an amused grin. "Wait until you s

  • The plus size girl: The mafia secret    Chapter 36 — The Ride to the Estate

    The chaotic energy of Zara’s apartment gave way to a brisk, cool night breeze as we stepped out onto the sidewalk. The digital war zone of the previous night felt like a lifetime ago, replaced by the reality of a new dawn. Damien had made his executive decision with zero room for debate. He wasn't leaving anyone behind in a downtown apartment while shadows still circled. "We are all heading back to the estate," Damien had declared with absolute finality, his dark eyes sweeping over both of us as he unlocked his matte-black performance sedan. He turned to one of his security operatives standing nearby, tossing a set of keys with casual precision. "And you—take Sheba's armored coupe and drive it back to the main garage. Make sure it's secure." Zara grinned, nudging my arm as we walked toward Damien's car. "Well, look at us. Being chauffeured by billionaire royalty and getting our own personal valet service. I could get used to this level of VIP treatment." "Get in the car, you mena
