Rafael didn’t look at him. His jaw was locked, his mind made up. “If people think she’s my weakness, then I would rather have her where I can control the situation.”

Mason shook his head, stepping in front of him. “That’s not control, Rafael. That’s attachment.”

Rafael’s grip on his keys tightened, his eyes flashing with warning. “I don’t get attached.”

Mason scoffed, unconvinced. “Then what the hell do you call this?”

Rafael didn’t answer. Because for the first time, he wasn’t sure himself.

Mason drove, following Rafael's description.

Meanwhile, Celia sat in her living room, lost in thought. She kept trying to justify the money she received, convincing herself it was a good thing, but deep down, it still unsettled her.

She closed her eyes, hoping for sleep, but all she saw was Rafael, the gunshots, the lifeless bodies hitting the ground. She jolted awake, her heart racing. With a sigh, she stared at the ceiling, waiting for dawn to break and for her brother to return.

    The atmosphere was still as the car pulled into the driveway. Everything was quiet, more quiet that it used to be.When the doors opened, Viktor and Mason immediately stepped out and moved to Rafael’s side. They carefully placed his arms around their shoulders to support him as he eased out of the car. But the moment his feet touched the ground, Rafael paused. He didn’t like being fussed over.“I’ve got it,” he said, his voice firm despite the strain.Before they could argue, he gently pulled free from them and straightened with a flinch, choosing to limp forward on his own. Each step was slow and deliberate, pain clearly marked into the tight lines of his face, but his pride wouldn't let him lean on anyone.Celia quickly moved to his side, saying nothing as she followed closely, ready to catch him if he faltered. Her eyes never left him, tension coiled tightly in her chest with every uneven step he took toward the door.They stepped into the living room, and there sat Nico, looking s

    Rafael finally stirred, his eyelids twitching open after nearly fourteen hours of unconsciousness. A sudden, searing pain shot through his knee, dragging a low, involuntary wince from his throat. The room stirred with movement. Celia was the first to notice. She shot up from her seat, eyes wide with concern, and rushed to his side. “Rafael,” she breathed, gripping his hand gently and wrapping both of hers around it. “What is it? Where does it hurt?” “My knee,” he said through clenched teeth. “It’s been hurting, but it’s worse now.” Celia’s eyes flew to the bandages, then to his face, his jaw locked in tension, sweat starting to form at his temple. “You missed your afternoon dose,” she said, her voice soft but urgent. “I think that’s why it’s worse now.” Without hesitation, she turned and pressed the nurse call button, then looked over her shoulder at Mason and Viktor, who were both already rising to their feet. Mason gave a small nod and exhaled, tension draining slightly from

  • Trapped in a mafia’s obsession    Chapter 52

    Lorenzo had been battling waves of pain ever since the brutal fight. His body ached with every movement, bruises deepening, cuts stinging, and his ribs still sore from the blows he took. But true to his stubborn nature, he refused to go to any hospital. He didn’t want a doctor, or records, or questions.Instead, it was Fiona who had been tending to his wounds. Her care was far from appreciated, not because she lacked skill, but because Lorenzo made the entire experience hellish. He barked orders, snarled at her when the antiseptic stung, and refused to sit still when she tried to clean his wounds. He didn’t make it easy because he didn’t want to.Fiona had finally drifted off into an exhausted nap in one of the guest rooms, grateful for a few moments of peace after a day of dealing with his volatile moods and relentless pain. But the peace didn’t last long.The door suddenly flung open, slamming against the wall. Fiona jolted awake with a gasp. Lorenzo stood at the threshold, limping

    The morning light crept softly into the hospital room, golden rays filtering through the blinds and casting a warm glow over the space. The air was quiet, peaceful, at least on the surface. Celia remained sound asleep, her body curled gently against Rafael’s. Her breath was slow and steady, her head rising and falling with the rhythm of his chest.Rafael, however, had not closed his eyes once. Despite the heavy medication and the lingering fog from the surgery hours before, sleep had evaded him. Pain throbbed beneath his skin in quiet waves, sharpest around his knee and ribs, but he bore it in silence. He didn’t want to wake her. It had been his idea to keep her close, and now that she was here, wrapped around him like a protective warmth, he didn't want to lose the moment, even if it ached.His thoughts were interrupted by the door opening with a soft creak. Doctor Franklin stepped in, a clipboard in hand and a mild smile on his face.“Good morning, Mr. Mercer,” he greeted as he appr

    Mason and Viktor stepped out of Rafael’s room, the air feeling a little lighter now that their boss was awake. They strolled across the hallway and slumped into the waiting chairs just outside, letting out simultaneous sighs of exhaustion.“Love makes people do crazy things though,” Viktor said, stretching his legs and leaning his head back against the wall.“Exactly,” Mason agreed with a short chuckle.“I think it's a blessing that I have not fallen in love,” Viktor added.Mason turned to him with a brow raised. “So you didn’t love Fiona at all?”Viktor scoffed. “No way. Fiona’s a seductress. She knows exactly what to do to make a man lose his mind, but that doesn’t mean it’s love. Let’s be real, who wouldn’t want to hit that fat ass at least once?”Mason burst into laughter, “Man, that’s wild.”“But you would love to hit it too, right?” Viktor smirked, nudging him.Mason’s laughter cut short. He gave him a look. “I wouldn’t.”Viktor blinked. “Wait, seriously? Why?”“Are you actually

    Viktor gently pulled a chair closer and guided Celia into it. She sank down, still trembling, but after a few deep breaths, the panic slowly began to fade. A quiet, weary smile touched her lips as she wiped her face.Just then, the door opened and Mason walked in, carrying a small food bag.“What’s going on here?” Mason asked, glancing between them.“Not much,” Viktor replied, his tone light.Mason moved toward the hospital bed and placed the food on the rolling bedside table, adjusting it carefully near Rafael’s side.“He is still not awake?” Mason asked, “I thought the doctor said it would only take a few more minutes.”“The doctor said that, we just have to wait. I’m sure he will wake up soon,” Viktor reassured gently.“Celia, hi,” Mason said, only just noticing her sitting quietly near the bed. He didn’t immediately register her state.She nodded in return, her eyes still fixed on Rafael.It didn’t take long before Rafael’s fingers twitched, then his eyelids fluttered open. A smal
