❦ Rosalind ❦

The house loomed before us like a stranger when we walked in.

It was his house, but he looked at it like an uninvited guest. His shoulders, already tight, hunched closer to his ears, and guilt pressed a hot weight into my chest.

What did it feel like to come home and not remember?

Enza was the first to rush forward, wiping her flour-dusted hands on her apron, her soft, round face breaking into a smile. “Don Marino,” she greeted warmly, bowing her head the way she always did.

Beside her, Isa clasped her hands wordlessly, her eyes shining as if she might cry.

I half expected him to falter or hesitate. To give away the truth that he had no idea who they were or what they meant to him.

But he didn’t.

Instead, he stood taller and spoke in an even voice. “Thank you. It’s good to be back.”

The ache in my chest deepened.

I reached for his hand, tugging him gently toward the stairs. “Come, I’ll take you to the room. You need ro rest.”

He stood rooted in place, looking past me in

  • Through Smoke and Steel: A Mafia Romance   Chapter 97 - Can’t Even Pee in Peace

    ❦ Rosalind ❦ Somehow, I knew he wasn’t beside me before I even opened my eyes. His absence was a pressing emptiness where warmth should have been.I cracked one eyelid open to confirm it, frowning at the sight of cool, rumpled sheets. I grumbled as I rolled over and reached for my phone on the nightstand.Ten a.m.Seriously? He left me sleeping like a discarded doll? Even if work had dragged him out early, the least he could’ve done was kiss me, or pull me close for one of those bone-deep cuddles that made the world feel less cruel.But no. He had to pull this shit again. Something was pulling him away from me. I felt it, like an invisible string between us stretched taut.The hotel crossed my mind. Maybe he’d found out. But no, the Viktor I knew would’ve exploded and split the world into two just to throw it at my feet. He wasn’t one to swallow his rage quietly. I would’ve known.I sighed, dragging myself to the shower, the hot spray chasing away the sleep but not the nagging thou

  • Through Smoke and Steel: A Mafia Romance   Chapter 96 - Upper Hand 18+

    ❄︎ Viktor ❄︎Her throat was so fucking tight I couldn’t breathe. Each gag and wet drag of her mouth around my cock had me seeing stars. I almost spilled right down her throat like a desperate bastard.No. Not yet.I yanked her off me by her hair, my chest heaving like I’d just gone ten rounds. Saliva glistened down her chin, coated her swollen lips, and she had the nerve to smirk at me.“I’m going to wipe that smirk off your face,” I rasped.Her smirk faltered just enough for me to catch a flicker of fear underneath it. It made my cock twitch.I dragged her mouth to mine, biting and swallowing her little gasps, answering her needy whimpers. I spun her, forcing her to face the dildo stuck against the headboard. My hand pressed her down until her lips brushed the silicone.She had the audacity to laugh. “You’re just a big baby,” she murmured, her voice a mocking tease.My jaw clenched as rage sparked in my chest. She thought this was a game. Just like when she sold the hotel behind my

  • Through Smoke and Steel: A Mafia Romance   Chapter 95 - Tag—You’re It

    ❦ Rosalind ❦ The second Viktor hit the water, I turned and ran, biting down a laugh that still managed to bubble past my lips. His shocked face had twisted into a darker, vindictive expression that burned itself into my mind as I bolted for the house, the towel clutched around me like flimsy armor.Cold droplets streaked down my calves. The tiles were slick beneath my feet. But I didn’t dare look back. The laughter slipped from me anyway, shaking my chest breathlessly. The soldatos on duty didn’t even blink as I raced past them, and I knew it wasn’t because they hadn’t noticed. It was out of respect. If Viktor ever caught one of them letting his gaze stray over me. They’d be dead.I streaked across the living area, my heart pounding, only to find Adrian hunched in front of his laptop. His detached eyes turned up at me for a second, then he returned to whatever numbers or codes he was working on. At the top of the stairs, I risked a glance behind me. My breath caught.Viktor.Soak

  • Through Smoke and Steel: A Mafia Romance   Chapter 94 - Broken Promises

    ❦ Rosalind ❦ I stood in our shared closet, my fingers brushing over the mass of colorful fabrics. My hand paused on a simple but elegant two-piece swimsuit. It had been sitting there for weeks, untouched, waiting for a day like this. Today, I decided I would finally use the pool I hadn’t stepped into since I moved into this house. Somehow, Viktor had occupied so much of my life and my thoughts, that I barely had a moment to think for myself. I quietly admitted that I was enjoying it. But the relief of that acknowledgment was tempered by a prickling unease. He still hadn’t returned home. Hadn't sent a word back in response to the text I had sent hours ago.I huffed, annoyed at his absence. A full day. A whole day after we’d confessed our love. Did he have a reason for staying away? Or was this deliberate? My stomach twisted with worry, but then I reminded myself that Adrian was still here in the house showing no signs of distress. He was in contact with Viktor, of course. So Vik

  • Through Smoke and Steel: A Mafia Romance   Chapter 93 - The Calm Before

    ❦ Rosalind ❦ The first thing I noticed when I slid into consciousness was the warmth of the morning sun kissing my skin. I knew last night had been the best sleep I’d ever had.Nothing beats sleeping in a safe state of mind after a thoroughly satisfying session of lovemaking with your partner.My arms stretched, searching for that warmth, only to meet empty but rumpled sheets.I turned to my husband’s side of the bed, prying my eyes open to see that he was indeed not there. I understood that he might have had to go to work, but it would have been nice to wake up cocooned in his arms.Stretching once more for good measure, my lips curved into a content smile as I reached for my phone to check the time.11 a.m.I could hardly believe I had slept this long. A loud rumble in my stomach reminded me that hunger waits for no one. I sat up, dutifully following the call.After showering in the master bedroom, I ran my fingers over my reflection in the repaired mirror. I looked well, better th

  • Through Smoke and Steel: A Mafia Romance   Chapter 92 - Patience

    ❄︎ Viktor ❄︎I stepped into the bathroom and immediately noticed that the shards from last night were gone. Cleaned up. My eyes flicked to the sink, the floor, the edges of the mirror frame. Everything was pristine. Enza, my housekeeper, must’ve been here. I tried to summon a memory of her, any scrap of familiarity, but nothing came. It was all just a blur. My gut tightened as the anger bubbled up like acid.Then the thought of Rosa hit me.The fact that she’d put the hotel up for sale while I was… like this. While my mind was fractured and my memory a patchwork of holes. My hands shook in tune to the slow burn of fury spreading through me. Was she taking advantage of me? Pretending to love me while quietly playing her own game? If she respected me, or cared even a fraction before my accident, she wouldn’t have touched the hotel knowing it would set me off. She would have at least discussed it with me first.I shoved the thoughts down and moved to my home office after my shower.
