“What the fuck do you mean you can’t find my fucking wife?” I asked angrily. I could barely calm down. I was hunting down Viktor like a dog, and her so-called best friend was out there. Either of them could take her.What was the point of having bodyguards if they didn’t protect the woman I wanted to marry? If she could easily slip out of their sight, they were useless if she was attacked.Her phone pinged that she was still in the dressing room of the boutique she was in, which I knew was not the case. I already had a tracker inside her, which she had agreed to the minute I slipped the engagement ring on her finger.There were a lot of factors to consider before you married a mafia boss. One of them was safety. There were enemies in every corner and crevice of my life. I had to put forth the right measures to ensure her safety.I tracked her and saw that she was heading to an abandoned industrial area on the outskirts of New York. I cursed, wondering why she would slip her security de

From the moment I got out of the hospital, I kept moving. I didn’t have the luxury of stopping. I had a little money, I was scared, and I was in a country whose language I didn’t speak.I was surrounded by enemies everywhere. I didn’t know who would see me and report back to Viktor. It was his turf after all. I kept my head low and walked really fast. It was snowing hard, and getting dark.Luckily for me, Carlos had taught me how to pickpocket. He told me that if I ever found myself in such a situation, the best way to make quick cash was to steal. It wasn’t my best moment, but I was going to do anything to survive.I entered a pub that was very far from the hospital and ordered a vodka, like I assumed any Russian person would. The whole place buzzed with people speaking a language I didn’t understand.I took advantage of the drunk people who saw me as harmless and picked pockets. That, coupled with the money I had stolen from the nurse, was able to afford me one night at a motel and

“Igor called me. Serena reached out, and he knows where she is.” I said to Nico, Enzo, and Luca. “I knew she would remember what I taught her.”I was proud. After Carlos took care of her, he told me something I always knew had to happen. I had to teach Serena to fend for herself in case I wasn’t around. I guess I thought doing it would mean that I had fully integrated her into the underworld.A part of me felt guilty for dragging her into my world, and I delayed the inevitable for as long as possible. The inevitable was teaching her how to fight, run, cheat, steal, and most of all, kill.I taught her slowly until she could repeat all the security measures I had made her memorize in her sleep. I had contacts all over the planet. It was a good thing she remembered what to do when she was in Russia.Proud was probably an understatement.“Where is she?” Luca asked.“She managed to get into a motel. It’s not too far from here. We have to leave as soon as possible. I can’t let Viktor and hi

Luca hugged me. He wouldn’t let me go. He had a jacket for me, and he wanted me to go to the hospital, but I wouldn’t agree. I wanted to be there when Lily and Viktor finally paid for what they had done.Nero kept an eye on me, but he was mostly mad and focused on getting answers out of Lily. She was dejected, and her eyes were empty. I had a feeling she was coming to the realization that everything was over.Her brother was dead, and she was surrounded by the DeLuca family. I refused to go to the hospital until those two were dead. I couldn’t believe the nightmare was over. But even though it was, it felt like I was still in hell.“Who the fuck are you?” Nero asked Lily.“Lucia Russo. I’m the daughter of the man you killed, Nero. Antonio Russo was my father, and he was reported by Giovanni Ricci for working with the Russian mafia. You killed him to take over New York.”“Antonio didn’t have a daughter, let alone a daughter and a son.”“He hid his children because he knew animals like

Nero took me out to dinner on the beach. There were lanterns, a table, flowers, and a band. It was romantic as hell, and it made me feel loved and seen. However, it wasn’t what I wanted.My trust in people had been eroded to the point that I questioned every bond I had with people. I didn’t want to interact with people anymore, and it felt like everyone was lying to my face.I hadn’t even talked to Emily because part of me was scared I would go through the same thing with her that I had with Lily. She was relentless, always texting me to ask if I was doing fine.I didn’t want to create unnecessary bonds with people. As Nero’s fiancée, I had lots of people wanting to get close to me for opportunities. I thought I could tell apart people who were using me and those who liked me, but Lily was proof I couldn’t.“You don’t like the food?” Nero asked.He was the best part of what had happened. He, Nico, and Enzo had cemented themselves as part of my family. They dropped everything when they
