All Chapters of The Mafia's Claim: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Scarlett's POV After checking all my luggage, I finally pulled out a simple outfit—a white blouse and black skirt—and headed to the bathroom to take my bath. The moment I stepped into the bathroom, I let out a deep sigh, feeling the exhaustion seep from my bones. The steam from the hot water curled around me, wrapping me in warmth as I turned on the shower.I needed this.I needed to clear my head, if only for a few minutes.As the water cascaded down my body, I reached for the soap—only to realize mine wasn’t there.I frowned.Liam could box even my lingerie but couldn’t bring my soap ?My eyes scanned the shelf, and that was when I noticed a sleek black soap resting on the counter. It looked expensive, encased in minimalistic packaging with no label.I picked it up, sniffed it lightly. It had a clean, refreshing scent.But… what kind of soap was this?Was it for the body? The face?Or worse—was it one of those hair removal soaps?I hesitated, staring at it in my hand.A small voic

Scarlett's POVI didn’t want to go.Everything in me screamed to stay in the room, wrap myself in a blanket, and pretend that Liam and his stupid rules didn’t exist. But ever since I met him, my life never seemed to go as planned, did it? Instead, I had to force myself up, get dressed, and leave the house.And all because of some stupid bedding.With a sigh, I pulled on my coat and grabbed my bag. I stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the ground floor, tapping my fingers impatiently against my thigh. My mind was still tangled in the mess of trying to track down my only witness from that night at the hotel. If I could just find him, I could finally prove my innocence.The elevator chimed softly, and the doors slid open. I stepped out into the lobby, adjusting my bag on my shoulder as I made my way toward the entrance of the community.The air brushed against my skin as I walked outside. Just as I was about to take another step forward, a sleek sports car sped past me.

Scarlett’s POVIn that moment, the store was silent. No one dared to move. No one dared to speak.Liam's anger was ice-cold. Not the kind that burned out fast but the kind that destroyed everything in its path.The manager opened his mouth as if to explain, but one look at Liam and he shut it just as quickly.Then, without warning, Liam swept his arm across the counter, sending stacks of folded linens crashing to the floor with a loud thud that echoed through the store.The attendants gasped. The manager flinched.But Liam didn’t stop there. He grabbed an entire shelf of pillows and flung them down. The once-pristine store was now a disaster. And Liam still didn’t look like he was done.His eyes flickered across the room and landed on a man standing in the corner, holding a steaming cup of coffee.Before I could have time to process what was happening, Liam marched over and snatched the cup from the man’s hand, then walked back to the ruined bedding.Without hesitation, he tipped the

Scarlett's POV By the time we finally stepped off the plane, I felt drained. Like all the air had been sucked out of me. Hours of sitting still and pretending to be calm, while inside my mind was running a hundred miles a minute. I didn’t even care about the luxurious first-class seats or the overly polite attendants. My head just felt stuffed full of cotton.The sun outside was sharp and bright, too hot against my skin. It made everything feel too real. Too loud. Too exposed.Lined up right outside the terminal were rows of sleek black cars, their engines humming softly like they were breathing in sync. They weren’t regular taxis. Oh no. They were those shiny, special ones, like the kind you see only in movies. Drivers in perfectly pressed uniforms stood waiting beside them, opening doors like we were celebrities.My mom grabbed my arm the second we stepped forward. “Scarlett, stay close, alright?” Her grip was tight. A little too tight, honestly.But I didn’t argue. I just nodded

Scarlett's POV By the time I stepped out of the men’s restroom, it felt like the world had changed. Everything outside was still the same, with crowds bustling, cameras flashing, and voices rising. But inside me, everything felt too loud, too sharp, like my heart had been rattling against my ribs for hours.Keeping my head down, I weaved through the crowd, ignoring the bright lights and the hum of voices buzzing around me. I didn’t even care who saw me anymore. All I wanted was to get out of here.But of course, life didn’t let me off that easily.My phone suddenly buzzed hard in my hand, and I didn’t even need to check to know it was Liam.I hesitated for a moment, but there was no point avoiding him, so I picked up the call.“Where the hell are you?” His voice came sharp, like it cut right through the noise surrounding me. It sounded calm on the surface, but I could sense the underlying intensity.“I… I’m outside,” I stammered, keeping my eyes on the ground. “Near the back.”There
