Mario's POV

What the hell was the mayor of San Diego doing in one of Kosta’s warehouse?

That question wouldn’t stop screaming in my head. I sat there, slouched deep into the plane seat, arms crossed, eyes wide open but not really seeing anything. My brain was running miles I couldn’t catch up with.

Of all people… A whole Mayor?

It made sense now, though. Or at least it explained something. The way Kosta always seemed untouchable. How his name would come up in case files and then vanish. Witnesses gone. Footage lost. Charges dropped like leaves in fall. The system didn’t just fail, someone was helping it look away.

And if the damn mayor was involved?

No wonder.

The mayor of San Diego had always rubbed me the wrong way. Flashy guy. Always in a crisp suit that screamed, I care about my image more than my people.

He talked too fast, smiled too wide, and never gave a straight answer. The kind of man that could shake your hand and stab you in the back all in the same breath, then blame it

  • Trapped by the Mafia Boss    Vanilla

    Mario's POV We were back in the living room, listening in on the warehouses.Sylvia had the chessboard set up on a table, her bare legs curled beneath her as she sat between my thighs, my chest against her back on the couch. One of her arms rested lazily across mine, the other reached forward to move her knight, and I swear, the soft shift of her hips each time she leaned in was enough to test my control.My shirt, loose around her shoulders, barely covering the curve of her thighs was enough to drive me crazy, and the fact that I knew there was nothing underneath, had my thoughts tangled, my concentration slipping with every casual brush of her body against mine.“You’re losing,” she teased lightly, reaching across me for a pawn she’d knocked over. The motion arched her back, lifting the hem of the shirt just enough to show the soft flesh of her ass. My breath caught.God.I clenched my jaw, forcing my eyes back to the board, but I couldn't even remember which color I was playing.“

    Mario’s POVThe plane touched down with a dull thud, and the moment we stepped out, the flashing lights started.Cameras. Reporters. Questions flying at us like painful darts—“Where have you been?” “Is it true about Kosta?” “Are you back together?”We kept our heads down and pushed through, ignoring them all until we made it to the black SUV waiting at the curb. The driver pulled the door open, and once we were both inside, he sped off without a word.Sylvia let out a long breath, slumping back into the seat. “To our new apartment?”I glanced at her. “You sure you don’t want to go somewhere else for now?”She shook her head with a small smile. “No. I’ve been dreaming about my bookshelves. You know it was right before the last IKEA run that I got kidnapped? Like, I was legit on my second trip there that day.”I blinked. “You’re talking about your kidnapping like you misplaced your keys.”She shrugged. “Trauma with a side of home decor, sue me.”I huffed out a laugh. “What was left to d

  • Trapped by the Mafia Boss    Making sense

    Mario’s POVI held her close, careful not to jostle her too much as I carried her to the bedroom on the plane. When I finally put her down on the bed, I grabbed some wipes and gently cleaned the dirt and sweat off her skin. She barely moved, just too tired to care. I slipped one of my shirts over her, something loose and soft, and tucked her in.After that, I didn’t linger. I stepped out and closed the door quietly behind me, not wanting to wake her.Back in my seat, I started picking up the clothes scattered around the floor. The mess was everywhere, reminders of how crazy our love making was. I folded them as best I could, trying to make some order out of the chaos. Then I pulled out my phone and laptop, fingers moving fast as I sent a message to Darren.I might be heading back to New York, but this wasn’t over. Not by a long shot. Kosta still needed to pay for what he did to Sylvia. And I had to find a way out of this mafia ring I was in.Darren and I had been able to plant chips i

    SYLVIA'S POV It had been an hour and 30 minutes.Mario still wasn’t out.“Are you sure they’re going to release him?” I asked the lawyer as we sat in the waiting area of the San Diego Central police station. My fingers trembled slightly, clutching the cold leather strap of my Birkin.“They have no legal ground to hold him anymore,” he shrugged casually. “Especially not after that media storm.”Just then, the doors creaked open. Detective Harris emerged, flanked by two uniformed officers. His face was pale, tense.“He’s being processed for release,” Harris muttered, not quite meeting my eyes.I stood immediately, heart pounding as footsteps echoed down the corridor. And then...There he was.Bruised. Pale. But upright. My Mario.I didn’t care who was watching, I ran to him, wrapped my arms around his waist, and buried my face in his chest. He exhaled shakily, arms curling around me.Reporters screamed questions, calling out to Mario as we walked outside the police station, my arm nest

  • Trapped by the Mafia Boss    War

    SYLVIA'S POVTears burned in my eyes as I crouched in front of Mario. He looked nothing like himself. His shoulders were slumped, eyes dull, like the fire in him had been crushed. My chest ached just looking at him.“What did they do to you…” I choked, barely managing the words.I stood up slowly, turning to face Detective Lane and Harris. Lane stood there like a statue, stone-faced, like he hadn’t just torn my world apart. Harris couldn’t even meet my eyes.“You have till 5 p.m. to release my husband,” I said, voice shaking, but loud enough for it to echo down the hall. “Or you’ll be hearing what the general public thinks of this inhuman, illegal kidnapping you just pulled.”My lip curled in disgust. “I fucking trusted you.”I let out a sharp breath through my teeth, looked back at Mario one last time, and whispered, “I love you,” before I turned on my heel and stormed off.“Sylvia... wait!” Harris called after me.I didn’t stop.“Sylvia, please... just listen—”His footsteps picked
