The motel sign was missing two letters and the car park was empty except for a truck that looked like it hadn't moved in weeks. Luca pulled in without slowing down first, like he'd already decided this was the place before he even saw it properly.

I didn't complain. My body had stopped caring about aesthetics somewhere around hour three of driving.

He paid cash at the front desk. The man behind it didn't look up from his television once. Luca took the key, and that was that.

The room smelled li

  • bound to the ruthless mafia king   Chapter 100: Fractured Trust

    Isabellas pov The SUV barreled through the rain-slicked roads, tires hydroplaning on every sharp turn. I sat rigid in the back seat, my body aching from resting on the hard wall of that room, my clothes clinging to me like a second skin soaked in fear and grime. Luca was beside me, his presence a wall of tension and something I refused to name. His men drove like demons, evading unseen tails, but all I could focus on was the man who had just “rescued” me. *¿Fue realmente Carlo?* (Was it really Carlo?)Or was this another elaborate game? “¡Traicionero!”(Treacherous!) The word had burst from me in the warehouse, and it echoed in my head now. I glared at him, arms crossed tightly over my chest. When he reached out to check a bruise on my arm, I jerked away sharply. “Don’t touch me, Luca. Not after everything. Not- after- everything!” I snapped loudly. My blood was boiling. When is it ever normal with him? When?? “Isabella,” he started, voice low and urgent, but I cut him off with a

  • bound to the ruthless mafia king   Chapter 99: Shattered Bars

    Lucas pov Rain hammered the industrial zone like bullets, turning the ground into slick mud that clung to my boots. I moved at the head of the team, suppressed rifle tight in my hands, every sense sharpened to a knife’s edge. Carlo Morelli had made his last mistake. The Morelli vehicles we’d tracked led straight here—abandoned warehouses on the eastern border, neutral ground turned into a trap. My mind churned with strategy and a fury so deep it felt like it would split me open. *Isabella.* She was in there somewhere, waking in a cage, believing I’d done this to her. *Mía. No de él.* (Mine. Not his.) “Flank left. Suppress any movement,” I ordered into the comms, voice low and cold. My men melted into the shadows. Carlo had used the church meet as a distraction—called me out with his desperate betrothal bullshit while his people snatched her from our bed. Wiped footage. Clean grab. It reeked of the old man’s fear for his legacy. But touching Isabella? That signed his death warrant.

  • bound to the ruthless mafia king   Chapter 98: Caged.

    Isabellas pov The cold seeped into my bones like ice water, pulling me from the fog of unconsciousness. My head throbbed, a dull hammer pounding behind my eyes. I tried to sit up, but my shoulder scraped against the cold wall I was leaning on and had slept off on. Darkness pressed in from all sides, broken only by a sliver of gray light filtering through a high, barred window. The air still reeked of damp concrete, rust, and something stale—like an abandoned warehouse left to rot. My heart slammed against my ribs as reality crashed down. I was still trapped. Enclosed. No room to stand very well, the bed was still the hard foam id woken ip from. I was still in this hell hole. “¿Por qué diablos sigo aquí?" (Why the hell am i still here?) I whispered, my voice hoarse. My hands flew to the door handle, rattling them uselessly. The door didn’t budge. Panic clawed up my throat, sharp and suffocating Luca. That hijo de puta.(That son of a bitch)He did this. While I slept, trusting t

  • bound to the ruthless mafia king   Chapter 97: Fractured Hunt

    The church doors slammed behind me like a gunshot. I didn’t look back at Carlo Morelli or his smug-faced men. My blood was fire, my mind a storm. Isabella. The word beat in my skull with every step toward the SUV. My men snapped to attention, doors flying open as I barked orders. “Move! Back to the house—now!” Tires screamed against gravel as we peeled out, the engine roaring like the rage clawing at my chest. *She was asleep when I left.* The image haunted me: Isabella curled in her bed, her dark hair spilling across the pillow, chest rising softly after the way I’d claimed hrr that night. Our passion had been raw, her defiance melting into desperate moans, nails raking my back as I pinned her wrists and reminded her exactly who she belonged to. The way she'd argue with me when my decisions didn't sit right with her. She was fire in my arms, surrender and challenge wrapped in one intoxicating package. And now she was gone. I yanked out my phone, dialling Ferrente. “Talk. What th

  • bound to the ruthless mafia king   Chapter 96: Betrothed Shadows

    "You and Mariah are betrothed," The words still hung between us. Carlo must think I'm not fool, he thinks I'd believe his bullshit so easily. Carlo puffed on his fresh cigar, the smoke curling around his wrinkled face like a shroud. The smug bastard had laughed at me moments ago, but now something shifted in his eyes—desperation flickering beneath the bravado. I wasn’t here for his games. I thought Carlo had something for me, something real, not marriage. The fire in my blood that made everything else feel secondary. “This isn’t some old grudge, Luca,” Carlo said, his voice dropping to a gravelly tone I hadn’t heard from him before. He tapped ash onto the rotting floorboards. “Your father and I… we weren’t always at each other’s throats. There was a time we stood shoulder to shoulder. Shared blood pacts. Secrets that could’ve burned empires to the ground if they got out.” I narrowed my eyes, jaw tight. “Bullshit. My father dreaded you. Called you a snake in the grass.” Carlo chuck

  • bound to the ruthless mafia king   Chapter 95: Marry my daughter.

    Lucas pov.“This isn’t about the Vanchis, Moretti.” He said. “I couldn’t care less about you guys childish fight over a rock” he added slowly like he’d been waiting so long to say it. “This is about my daughter?”His daughter?What about her?“Your daughter?” I asked, my hand still on my holster.“You know, your father was smart. Everything he did was calculated and planned. He never made reckless decisions, ever, and even though I resented him, I have to give him credit when due.” He stood up, tapping his cigar on the ash tray one of the men handed to him then he placed it back in his mouth carefully. “But I can’t say the same for you.” He added looking at me dead in the eye.“What is it, Carlo? I don’t know anything about your daughter,” I said, my eyes still on his men holding the gun.“I didn’t say you did,” he let out a puff of smoke. The smell lingered the air mixing with the smell of old wood from abandoned furniture out the church. It was suffocating. “You see Luca, you’re bec

  • bound to the ruthless mafia king   Chapter 60: The Drive

    Luca POVI left before sunrise.Ferrante was already awake when I came downstairs, which meant he'd either not slept or had slept in the chair in the front room again, which he did sometimes when things were unresolved. He looked at me and at the jacket in my hand and at the keys and said nothing.

  • bound to the ruthless mafia king   Chapter 59: Her Mother's Story

    She sat on the floor. That was the first thing. My mother who had never in my memory sat on anything that wasn't a chair with her back straight and her hands in her lap sat down on the floor of my room beside me and put the key between us and looked at the wall. I looked at the key. Then I looke

    My mother didn't need to finish the sentence.I saw her face when she turned around from the window and that was enough. I had watched my mother hold herself together through six years of hiding and a gathering that collapsed around all of us and an exile she'd apparently factored into a thirty yea

  • bound to the ruthless mafia king   Chapter 55: Somewhere Without History

    The room they gave me had a window facing a garden.An actual garden with actual plants that someone had been tending to, green and quiet, existing completely outside of everything that had happened in the last six months. I stood at the window and looked at it for a long time. Then I unpacked.
