All Chapters of Ravaged & Ruined by Daddy's Enemies: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 11: Cracks in the Dark (Elena's POV) The back room door stays closed behind us but nobody moves right away. The air feels thick heavy with smoke and tension. Five men wait inside all Daddy's old crew. They sit on worn leather couches eyes fixed on me like I'm a ghost they don't recognize anymore. No one touches me. No one even stands up. They just stare. Matteo stays by the door arms folded. Luca leans against the wall Nico beside him. The energy shifts something cold settles over everything. Marco the one with the scar speaks first voice low rough. "We didn't come to watch a show Elena. We came because the boss... he's falling apart." I pull the robe tighter around me suddenly feel naked in a different way. The dress underneath feels too thin too small. My skin still tingles from the bar from Matteo's fingers but the heat fades fast replaced by something heavier guilt maybe or just plain sadness. "What do you mean falling apart?" I ask quiet. Marco rubs his face

Chapter 13: Heat in the Silence (Elena's POV) The penthouse feels too big too quiet after Matteo's words hang between us. His arm still wraps around me on the couch my head on his chest his heartbeat steady under my ear. But the air changed. Thicker. Hotter. Like the silence itself is touching me everywhere. I shift a little thigh brushing his. His hand slides down slow rests on my hip fingers digging in just enough to make me catch my breath. I feel him harden against my side thick heavy pressing through his pants. My body answers fast nipples tightening under the thin robe pussy clenching empty aching. I lift my head look at him. His eyes dark hungry but careful like he's giving me room to pull away. I don't. I lean in kiss him slow at first lips soft then deeper tongue sliding against his tasting whiskey and him. He groans low hand sliding under the robe cups my breast thumb circling my nipple slow teasing until it pebbles hard. I moan into his mouth arch closer. His other h

Chapter 15: Countdown to Midnight (Elena's POV) The rest of the day drags slow and heavy. We stay in the penthouse windows closed curtains drawn. No one talks much. Matteo paces the living room phone in hand making quiet calls to his men setting up the meet for tomorrow night. Luca sits on the couch cleaning his gun piece by piece fingers steady but eyes far away. Nico cooks something simple eggs toast coffee but nobody eats much. I wander between rooms trying to stay busy. I take a long shower let hot water run over me until my skin turns pink. When I step out I wrap in a soft towel sit on the bed stare at the wall. The clock on the nightstand ticks loud every second closer to midnight tomorrow. My phone stays silent after Daddy's last message. No more texts. No calls. Just quiet. The quiet scares me more than threats. Matteo comes in around evening sits beside me. He doesn't say anything at first just takes my hand squeezes it. His thumb rubs slow circles on my skin. "You've b

Chapter 17: Alone in the Cage (Elena's POV) The car keeps driving fast through dark roads. I sit in the back seat pressed against the door arms wrapped tight around myself. Daddy sits beside me silent now hand resting on his knee like he doesn't know what to do with it anymore. The driver up front says nothing just keeps eyes on the road. My cheek still stings from the slap. Lip tastes like blood. I touch it careful feel the cut. Tears dry on my face sticky cold. I wait. Every second I wait for the sound of tires screeching for gunshots for Matteo's voice shouting my name. I picture it over and over. Them bursting from the shadows Luca shooting first Nico covering Matteo charging like he always does when he's mad. They would come. They promised. They always came before. But the road stays empty. No lights behind us. No engines roaring closer. Just the hum of the car and Daddy's heavy breathing. Minutes turn to hours. We pull into a gated house I don't recognize. Tall walls iro

Ravaged & Ruined by Daddy's Enemies Chapter 19: Ambush on the Road (Elena's POV) The morning after the breakfast mess I wake up empty. No fight left or tears. Just quiet acceptance. I sit on the bed stare at the wall for a long time. Daddy knocks soft asks if I'm okay. I say yes voice flat. I shower dress in simple jeans and a sweater from the closet. Old clothes feel strange on my body now. Too clean too safe. I pack the small bag myself put in the few things I still care about. A book. A necklace. Nothing from them. Nothing that hurts. Downstairs Daddy waits with coffee. He looks relieved when he sees me dressed packed. "You're ready," he says soft. I nod. "Let's go." He smiles small hopeful. "This is the right choice baby girl. You'll see." We load the car. Same black SUV. Daddy drives. No guards this time just us. The maid stays behind to clean. The gate opens slow we pull onto the road. The drive starts quiet. Highway wide open sky gray. Daddy talks a little about the ne
