SYLVIA'S POV

"To the ground!"

Mario's voice was sharp and commanding. I didn't hesitate—I threw myself down just as he did, but unlike me, he hit the floor with a pained grunt. His wounds. Damn it. He wasn’t even healed yet.

"Wait at the kitchen door. I need to get my gun."

He didn’t give me time to respond before he was already moving, sprinting up the stairs like a mad man.

I swallowed hard, my body pressed against the cold floor, heart pounding so loud I could hear it in my ears. A minute passed. Maybe less.

Then—

Bang!

A gunshot.

I sucked in a breath, my muscles locking up.

Bang!

Another.

A strangled groan. A body hitting the floor with a dull thud.

Oh, shit.

A sickening silence followed. My fingers dug into the fabric of my pants. Was that him? Was he hit? Was he dead?

I wanted to call out. I wanted to move. But if I was wrong, if the wrong person was coming down those stairs…

Footsteps.

I pressed myself against the wall, barely breathing.

Then I saw him—Mario.

Alive.

    Mario's POV The minute the plane touched down at the airport in San Diego, I knew I wasn’t going to be returning to New York the same man. I was going to fix everything that needed to be fixed, change for Sylvia, and then, we could start our new life together, a normal, everyday couple.As I stepped through the arrival gate, the cool breeze bit into my skin, and I adjusted the collar of my jacket. The black limousine waited at the curb, its windows tinted so dark I couldn’t see inside. I tugged open the back door and slid in, tossing my backpack onto the seat beside me. Darren was already inside, scrolling through his phone, looking like he hadn’t slept in days."You’re late," he said without looking up."My flight was delayed," I muttered, leaning back against the headrest, eyes fluttering shut. My head pounded, the stress of the past twenty-four hours pressing down on me.Darren finally put his phone away and signaled to the driver. "Take us to the place."The car pulled away from

    Sylvia’s POVAfter the officers left, I stood in the middle of the empty living room, the detective’s card heavy in my hand. A plea deal? Snitching? Was that what they thought I was?I tossed the card onto the countertop and exhaled a shaky breath. They thought I was a victim. Maybe I was. But wasn’t Mario supposed to be the one protecting me, not the one I needed protection from?I was too conflicted and as I paced around the living room, I heard Mario’s car pull up to the garage. A few minutes later, the front door creaked open, and he walked into the kitchen, dropping the bags on the counter. His eyes scanned the room until they landed on the detective’s card resting on the table. He picked it up, turning it between his fingers as his jaw tightened.“They came?”I nodded, folding my arms tightly across my chest. “As soon as you left. It felt like they were waiting for you to leave so they could come in and try to turn me against you.”Mario muttered something under his breath, his

    Sylvia's POV I let them knock a second time before pulling the door open, forcing a tight, polite smile onto my face. The two officers stood there, their eyes sharp and assessing. Officer David, the one with the wandering eyes, leaned slightly forward, his lips curving into a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. Detective Riley stood behind him, arms crossed, jaw clenched, his gaze steady and searching."Morning," Officer David said, his eyes sweeping over my face, lingering a beat too long. It made my skin crawl.I stepped aside, motioning for them to enter. They walked in, their footsteps heavy against the bare floors. Their eyes darted around the empty room, taking in the barren walls, the untouched kitchen, and the general lack of any signs of life. The air felt heavier than before, thick with their unspoken questions."We just moved in," I said, forcing my tone to stay light, casual. "I plan to go to IKEA today if my time isn’t completely taken up by you officers."Detective

  • Trapped by the Mafia Boss    Waiting

    SYLVIA'S POVWhen we got back to the house, the silence between us was suffocating. Mario didn’t say a word, and I didn’t feel like speaking either. The anger was still simmering inside me, but I didn’t have the energy to yell. Maybe that was the worst part, how tired I was of everything.He broke the silence first, his voice barely a murmur. “You can have the bed. I’ll figure something out.”I glanced at him, watching the way his shoulders sagged, like he was hoping I'd say something to make this whole mess go away. But I didn’t want to fix anything. Not anymore. Not with him.I didn't trust him anymore, not after hearing him call out his dead fiancée’s name while he was deep inside of me. Not after finding those teen bodies in the woods and how he was connected to it all.I didn’t say anything at first. I just nodded and walked to the door. When I turned the knob, I could hear the faint sound of him sighing, like he was waiting for me to stop him, to tell him he could share the bed

    Sylvias POV When the police arrived, I had turned icy cold and they draped a blanket over me, checking my eyes for any signs of shock. They moved to inspect the body, but not before questioning Mario first. He was so composed it made me wonder if he’d done this before. Then, a detective approached me. He was tall and lean with beady eyes that seemed to linger too long. He crouched down to my level, offering a tight, almost too-kind smile. "I'm Detective David," he said, voice low and smooth. "You doing okay, sweetheart?" I nodded stiffly, feeling a shiver run through me as his hand brushed my knee. "Can you tell me why you and your husband were in the woods?" he asked, jotting something down. "Nice place for a date?" "We had a picnic in the clearing close to the stream," I said, my voice trembling. "We had a little fight and... I just wanted to clear my head. That’s when I went into the woods and stumbled upon the body." "A little fight?" he repeated, leaning closer. I coul

    SYLVIA'S POV My heart raced as I sprinted through the woods, branches scraping at my arms, the cool night air biting at my skin. I had no idea where I was going, just that I had to get away from Mario, from his touch, from his words. The tears burned hot against my cheeks as I stumbled over a fallen branch, nearly losing my footing.But then I heard it, a rustling sound to my left, followed by a soft, wet squelch. My breath hitched, and I wiped at my eyes, forcing myself to focus. The trees parted slightly, and that’s when I saw them.Two bodies. A boy and a girl, teenagers. Their limbs were twisted at odd angles, eyes open but unseeing, blood. The girl's hair was splayed out, her face frozen in terror. The boy’s shirt was soaked through, a crimson stain spreading across his chest.I couldn’t breathe. The scream tore out of me before I could even think, echoing through the woods and bouncing back to me. My knees buckled, and I collapsed, my hand clamping over my mouth, the horrible s

  • Trapped by the Mafia Boss    Sylvia!

    Mario's POV My eyes snapped open when I couldn't feel her body on mine, my face contorted in confusion as I took her in, scrambling to get up, and that's when reality dawned on me like I had been doused with cold water.Holy shit! It was Sylvia!I knew I fucked up, and as I stuttered trying to form a coherent sentence, she was picking up her gown from the floor and throwing it over her shaky body, wiping at her nose and eyes."Sylvia, I swear I can explain, I swear it was a—""Fucking no! Save it!" she snapped, her voice trembling as she wagged her finger at me, her eyes wild and glistening. "Do you think it's her the two times we've had sex? I suppose so. Do you bring me here because it reminds you of her? Is that why you brought me here?""No! No, that's not it," I said, yanking my briefs up and stumbling over my words. "It was a mistake, Sylvia. I don't think of her when I'm with you.""Bullshit!" she cried, pressing the heel of her hand against her forehead, squeezing her eyes sh

    SYLVIA'S POV We played around in the water for hours, splashing and tugging at each other, Mario’s deep laughter echoing through the field as I tried to escape his grasp. But eventually, the temperature dropped, and my skin prickled with chills. Mario noticed immediately, scooping me up in his arms and carrying me out of the water. He wrapped a towel around me, rubbing warmth back into my skin as we made our way back to the blanket.The food was cleared away, and we lay there, side by side, with the sky darkening above us. Stars flickered softly, and the air was cool, the world feeling small and intimate as we lay there, tangled together.I rolled over, pressing a gentle kiss to Mario’s lips. It was meant to be soft, but the moment our mouths met, he deepened it, his tongue sliding against mine, hot and slow. His hand found my waist, fingers spreading against my bare skin as he pulled me closer, but I pushed him down, straddling him, feeling him harden beneath me.Mario’s eyes darken

    SYLVIA'S POV I turned around, taking in the breathtaking view around me, the open field bathed in warm, golden light, the soft rush of water echoing from the nearby stream, and wildflowers. It felt like a dream. I turned to Mario, heart pounding with so much affection that I couldn’t hold back. I threw myself into his arms, pressing my lips to his.His hands slid around my waist as he lifted me off the ground effortlessly, his lips moving against mine, slow and savoring. He finally pulled away, his dark eyes gazing down at me, the corners of his mouth tilting in that charming grin of his.Without a word, he carried me to the large blanket laid out in the center of the field and gently placed me down. The softness of the fabric sank beneath me, and as I leaned back, my hand brushed against a bouquet of lilies. I picked them up, bringing them to my nose and inhaling the sweet scent.“You’re such a sweetheart,” I said, my eyes glistening as I looked up at him.Mario chuckled, his hands
