All Chapters of MAFIA INNOCENT ANGEL : Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

CHAPTER ONE**★ Cassie's POV ★**I shouldn't have been at the gala.Uncle Javin made that clear when he shoved the invitation at me three hours ago. "The Roglases need to look united," he'd said, straightening his tie in the hallway mirror. "That means you show up, smile, and don't embarrass us."So here I was, trapped in a black dress I didn't choose, in a Venetian palazzo filled with people who'd sell their souls for the right price. Crystal chandeliers dripped light across marble floors. Champagne flowed. Conversations hummed with the kind of secrets that got people killed.I stayed near the edges, counting the minutes until I could leave.That's when I saw him.He stood near the terrace doors, dark suit sharp enough to cut, surrounded by men who looked like they were paid to break bones. But it was him everyone watched. Tall, composed, with the kind of presence that made the air feel heavier. His eyes swept the room with cold calculation, seeing everything.When those eyes landed

CHAPTER THREE★ Playground – Midday ★The sun hammered down on the schoolyard, children's laughter bouncing off brick walls.

Come here, now!" she barked, already moving toward the child.The man's hand went to his coat, reaching for something.Before he could pull it out,

CHAPTER FIVE★ Cassie's POV ★I woke to pale morning light filtering through unfamiliar windows.For a moment, I lay still, staring at the ceiling, half-convinced the previous night had been a nightmare. That I'd wake up in my own bed at the Klein estate, with Lana bringing breakfast and everything would be normal.But the silk sheets beneath me were too soft. The room too elegant. And the ache in my body from running through the storm was too real.It had all happened.Sam's threats. The escape. Rafael Montez.The truth about my parents' deaths.I sat up slowly, my mind still reeling from everything Rafael had told me. My father, Marcus Roglas had been a thief. A murderer. He'd stolen priceless artifacts from Rafael's family and killed Rafael's father in the process.And I'd been there that night. I'd witnessed it all.But I couldn't remember. Couldn't remember anything except fragments, shadows, fire, screaming.The door opened quietly. A woman in her fifties entered, carrying a tra
