All Chapters of Claimed By The Ruthless Mafia: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

*Bella*"No! Leave me!" I shouted, my voice trembling as the boys cornered me on the sofa, their hands all over me.I regretted coming to this house party. At first, it had seemed fun—a chance to loosen up. I’d had my first drink and danced like I didn’t have a care in the world. But then, everything went downhill. My head started spinning, and I felt myself losing control. Before I knew it, some boys dragged me upstairs, locking me in a room with them as they tried to force themselves on me.“No!” I yelled, shoving one of them as he leaned in, his face so close it made me panic. My vision blurred, a mix of alcohol, tears, and fear, making it hard to see their faces clearly.Suddenly, the door burst open with a loud crash. One by one, the boys were yanked away from me. Through my haze, I saw Ryder’s face, filled with worry, as he called my name in an anxious voice.Relief washed over me, and I let myself go, closing my eyes and collapsing into his arms, knowing I was safe now—safe with

*Bella*The next morning, I stirred awake, a strange heaviness keeping me from moving. It took a moment to realize I was wrapped tightly in a pair of powerful, muscular arms. My heart skipped a beat as the events of last night came rushing back, painting my cheeks with a deep blush of embarrassment.Oh, God. I couldn’t believe it. How could I have been so desperate, practically begging Ryder Knight to take me in his bed? And the worst part? He had granted my wish, just like he always did—fulfilling every little thing I ever asked of him.But this wasn’t like before. This wasn’t some innocent request he could shrug off. The thought of what had happened—and how I had behaved—sent a wave of mortification crashing over me.How was I supposed to feel about him now? How could I face him? Most of all, what was he thinking about me? Did he see me as just another desperate girl throwing herself at him, like so many others had?The idea alone was unbearable, making me want to disappear. If only

I bit my lip, my cheeks flushing an even deeper shade, as I heard the groans from my friends and caught the envious stares of the girls around us the moment Ryder pressed his lips to my cheek.I swear my jaw nearly hit the ground. Oh God. Ryder Knight—the Ryder Knight, the most eligible bachelor—was kissing me in front of the entire college.Fuck. My brain short-circuited as I realized what this meant. Now, I’d undoubtedly land on the envy list of every girl on campus.This had never happened before. Ryder never displayed PDA, not even with his girlfriends.“How was your day, kiddo?” he asked, pulling back slightly but keeping one arm draped casually over my shoulder.Kiddo?! Seriously?! “I’m eighteen now, Ryder. Not a kid anymore,” I replied, rolling my eyes in annoyance.“Who knows it better than me, baby girl?” he said, his teasing tone laced with mischief. He flicked my nose with his finger, his eyes gleaming with that familiar mischievous spark.I felt my cheeks flush as I unders

The rest of the meal passed in a blur of lively conversation and playful banter, filling the room with warmth. It felt like the perfect family gathering, and I couldn’t help but feel lucky to be a part of it.After saying our goodbyes, we left the Knight family home, and by the time we were on the road, fatigue hit me hard. I had stayed up late finishing an assignment and didn’t even realize I’d fallen asleep in the car. I jolted awake when the car engine turned off, blinking away the haze of sleep. Looking out, I saw we’d already arrived. Ryder had parked in his parking spot."Why did you bring me here? I told you to drop me at my dorm. I have an assignment to submit on Monday," I mumbled, rubbing my eyes with the heel of my palm.Ryder didn't respond, but I could feel the tension in the air. The muscles in his jaw were clenched, his silence speaking volumes. Without saying a word, he got out of the car and rounded to my side. He opened the passenger door and, in a swift movement, gra

The morning was beautiful, comforting even, as I stirred in the arms of this powerful, hot man who had ravished me so intensely the entire night, leaving me drained but still craving more.I couldn’t help but trace his features with my eyes, admiring the perfection of his face. It wasn’t fair—how could a man be so damn gorgeous? I bit my lip as I gently ran my fingers over his nose, jawline, and lips, feeling the warmth of his skin beneath my touch. I leaned in, brushing my lips over his softly, before I started to move.But then, without warning, Ryder’s arm tightened around me, holding me in place. My heart raced, confusion flooding me. I hadn’t expected him to hold on, and I wasn’t sure what it meant. The mixture of surprise and uncertainty made my chest tighten, and I paused, wondering what was going through his mind."Where do you think you're going, beautiful?" Ryder murmured, his voice laced with a hint of playfulness."I... um... need to use the bathroom," I stuttered, my shyne
