Semua Bab CLAIMED BY THE MAFIA DON: Bab 141 - Bab 150

I had closed my eyes as I screamed, bracing myself for… something. Anything. I didn’t know what exactly I was waiting for... a slap, a shove, the full weight of his fury? But I knew I was waiting for impact.But nothing happened. Not immediately.Seconds passed. Long, trembling, breathless seconds and the silence that followed was louder than the scream that came before it. That’s when I opened my eyes.Luca had taken two steps into the room. He stood just beyond the threshold, his fists clenched tightly at his sides, his chest heaving with restrained rage. His face… God, his face. It was pure fury, twisted and sharp, his jaw locked so tight it looked painful.But he wasn’t moving. He was just standing there, staring at me. Frozen. Trembling. The air between us crackled with something I couldn’t name.Had my scream stopped him? Or was it something else?Behind him, Maria stood at the door, her arms stiff, her eyes locked on him with something I had never seen on her face before that l

Luca only smiled.NA cold, twisted smile that sent shivers down my entire spine.“Since I can’t touch you and leave all the frustration and anger on you,” he began, his voice low and venom-laced, “not just because I know Asher will kill me for it... but also because there’s this tiny little part in me that cares about you....”He paused. “Even though I don’t want to. Not right now, not after what you did.”Then he exhaled sharply, like holding it in had cost him something.“But,” he continued, “as luck would have it, I don’t have to do anything to you. I don't even have to bottle it inside....” His gaze darkened. “Because Lover Boy is here… and I can let it all out on him instead.”And just like that, he turned, heading for the stairs. I should have let him go. I should’ve stayed quiet, let it unfold. But something inside me rebelled.I didn’t want that. I didn’t want Luca and Alan to fight, not over me. Not over something so messy and complicated and already spiralling out of control.

The room went dead silent.No one moved. No one spoke.It was like time had paused again, but this time it wasn’t fear or chaos, it was tension. The kind of tension that threatens to squeeze the life out of you. Everyone seemed to be weighing their next move, their next word, their next breath.But Alan, battered and bloodied wasn’t backing down.“Who the fuck are you?” he repeated, glaring at Luca. “I want to know who you are.”“You have no right to know,” Maria cut in sharply before Luca could answer. She took a step forward. “This is not your house. Nobody here involves you. You came into this home, and you met me at the door. I told you everything was fine. You didn’t want to understand. You forced your way in, you caused a mess, and now....” She gestured toward Alan’s bruised face, “you got beat. Now leave.”Dana’s eyes snapped toward Maria, narrowing, ready to challenge her. But then her gaze came back to me.I swallowed, hard, already knowing what was coming before she even ope

Luca's smile deepened....cruel, controlled.“I want you to remember that,” he said. “I don’t want to use your weakness against you.”A pause. “But....” He chuckled, dry and sharp. “I could.”He looked at his watch then, casually.“I’m going downstairs,” he said, turning for the door. “And in exactly ten minutes, I want your ass in the car.”And with that, he turned to walk out, leaving his threat hanging between us like smoke in the air. I stood there, heart pounding, dread crashing over me like a wave I couldn’t escape.I was going back to a cage. But this one? This one was going to be far worse.And then, like a soft whisper from the universe, a tiny little human came running into my bedroom. Luca had just reached the threshold of the doorway when Leon ran straight into him and wrapped his tiny arms around Luca’s legs.“Uncle Luca!” he said joyfully, his voice like a melody, innocent and untouched by everything that had just happened.I froze. Luca turned, just slightly, just enough

I braced myself, muscles coiled tight, waiting for the blow. Luca straightened slowly, sliding his phone into his perfectly tailored pocket. The gesture is calm. Precise. Devastating. Then his eyes locked onto mine. "Okay." A pause. "So this is what is going to happen." I swallowed, waiting for whatever came next.“As much as I want to take you out of this house kicking and screaming and drag you by your hair to a cage where you belong,” he said, staring me down, “I’m going to let you stay.”I could have sighed with relief. And that’s exactly what I did.“Thank you. Thank you, Luca.... Thank you so much,” I said, my voice shaking. “You have no idea how much this means to me. This means a lot. I am sorry. I am sorry that I have been a problem to you. I just knew you had a good heart. I just knew that you weren’t as evil as you… as you wanted to believe. Thank you so very much...”But before I could finish thanking him, he interrupted.“Don’t,” he said flatly.His voice sliced t
