Through Smoke and Steel: A Mafia RomanceĀ Ā Ā EPILOGUE
*SIX YEARS LATER* āļø Viktor āļø The wind carried the faint scent of roses and overturned earth. Marcella sat between my arms, small and warm. My daughter. My gift. My blessing. My future. She stretched her hand and placed a single rose at the base of the gravestone. The petals brushed the marble like a whisper. My chest tightened. I took a slow breath, steadying myself. āWhat was her favorite color?ā she asked, tilting her head back to look at me, her gray eyesāmy gray eyes, bright with curiosity. āAnd did she like playing the piano?ā āI heard she almost always wore red,ā I told her softly. āAnd yesā¦ she loved the piano. The one at home was hers.ā Marcella nodded, satisfied for a moment, then she turned her gaze back to the stone. Her curls brushed against my arm as she leaned closer. āShe was kind,ā I continued quietly, more to myself than to her. āAnd beautiful. You didnāt get enough time with herā¦ neither did I. But sheāll always be here with us. Watching, and
Through Smoke and Steel: A Mafia RomanceĀ Ā Ā Chapter 133 - Not Like This
āļø Viktor āļøNo!My knees skimmed the ground hard as I caught her before her head could hit the deck. Her body jerked, her lips moving around a sound that didnāt make it out. My heart slammed wildly. āRosa, babyā¦ look at me,ā I rasped, stroking her face.Dahlia, the bitch I knew I shouldāve ended that day she appeared in Rosa's home looking for Orlov, writhed on the floor. Her knee bled out, dark red in the spot where my bullet had torn bone apart.I shouldāve trusted my gut.My men thundered up the deck with their guns out, faces tight. The servers standing around were frozen and wide-eyed. Confusion everywhere.āRound them up!ā I snapped sharply. āEvery fucking server, cook, and cleaner. I want them locked below deck.āWhoever had been complicit in letting that bitch get anywhere near my wife would pay. āYes, boss.ā They echoed, acting immediately. āTurn the boat around. Now! Weāre heading to the mainland.āThey moved instantly, but it still wasnāt fast enough.I looked down at

ā¦ Rosalind ā¦Day three on my yacht. I brushed a final streak of lipgloss over my lips and leaned closer to the mirror. It was ridiculous, really, the amount of peace sitting in my chest. It almost felt suspicious.Iād spent so long wrapped in chaos that stillness made me twitchy. Like quiet could only mean something was waiting to go wrong. But it wouldnāt.And I didnāt want to live that way anymore anyway.Nothing screamed peace more than knowing you were loved and protected by the most dangerous, impossibly beautiful man in New York.Speaking of.I took one last look at my reflection, puckering at the faint shimmer on my lips. My hair was pinned up loosely on the sides, dark waves tumbling past my shoulders. My ombrĆ© mesh dress hugged me like a second skin, pink melting into white. I looked sweet and light. Almost unreal.I gave my hair a final fluff and turned toward the door, my heels clicking against the glossy floors as I climbed to the deck.The view hit me first, it always
Through Smoke and Steel: A Mafia RomanceĀ Ā Ā Chapter 131 - Delirium
ā¦ Rosalind ā¦Days later, after being fussed over by practically everyone, Viktor finally decided I was ready for the main surprise heād been teasing me about.I sat in the back of his Lambo truck, blindfolded, my hands folded neatly on my lap. The air inside the car was thick with the familiar blend of my lavender perfume and his darker, woodsy cologne. It wrapped around me, dizzying and comforting.The hum of the engine lulled me for a bit, but the not knowing was driving me insane. I shifted, fidgeted, bit my lip.āAre we there yet?ā I asked, unable to hide the giddiness creeping into my voice.Viktor chuckled, a warm rumble that seemed to vibrate through the seat. āAlmost. Patience, Tesoro.āSoon, I felt the car slow down beneath me, the soft crunch of gravel under the tires. Then a light breeze slipped in through the opened door, cool against my skin. Viktorās hand found mine, and he guided me out carefully.The air outside smelled wet and heavy like rain. It whipped my hair in

ā¦ Rosalind ā¦āPlease,ā I said, crossing my arms and leaning one hip against the banister. āDo explain.āShe fidgeted, her cheeks flooded with color.Out of the corner of my eye, Viktorās mouth curved into a smile. His eyes glinted with a wicked, self-satisfied glimmerā¦ oh, heād absolutely planned this.My heart did that stupid thing where it melted and burned at the same time. Of course he had known. Of course heād set it up this way. The man probably knew before I even suspected. I bit back a smile and made a mental note to deal with him laterā¦ thoroughly.Adrian, of all people, looked like a teenager caught sneaking in past curfew. His hands were in his pockets, his eyes darting between me and the woman at his side. Juliana. My cousin.She took a slow step forward, like I might pounce if she moved too fast.She drew a shaky breath and said, āRosa, Iām really sorry for keeping it from you. I justā¦ I wanted to be sure before saying anything.āMy brows rose higher. I could feel Viktor
Through Smoke and Steel: A Mafia RomanceĀ Ā Ā Chapter 129 - Guilty Fuchsia
ā¦ Rosalind ā¦I paced the living room, twisting my fingers.I didnāt want to distract Viktor or Adrian in the middle of their mission by panicking over nothing.But what if it wasnāt nothing?I tried to shake it off, but my chest felt tight. I already had a suspicion that Juliana had been with Adrian all this while. It would explain the sudden distance and the way she always sounded guilty whenever she actually bothered to pick up the phone.My gaze drifted to the news murmuring in the background on the TV. A fleet of police vehicles filled the screen, blue and red lights flashing in front of what looked like an embassy building. I was about to look away when the caption caught my eye. Breaking news: Murder at the Tibetan embassy in New York.I froze. Then gasped. My fingers fumbled for the remote and I turned up the volume.The reporterās voice filled the room, professional and completely detached from the panic surging through my chest.āAuthorities confirm that Giancarlo Conti,
