บททั้งหมดของ The Mafia's Forbidden Heiress : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Aria POVThe sharp smell of antiseptic hit my nose first.It burned a little.I sneezed.And just like that, my eyes fluttered open.For a moment, everything looked blurry. White walls. Soft light. A faint beeping sound somewhere beside me. I blinked slowly, trying to adjust, trying to remember where I was.The hospital.Morning light slipped in through the curtains, soft and quiet, like the world outside didn’t know anything had happened to me.I shifted slightly on the bed, wincing just a little.I must have slept for a long time.But I felt… better.Not strong or fully okay. But better than nothing.The door opened gently, and the nurse walked in.She had that same warm smile she always wore whenever she looked at me, like she was genuinely happy I was still here.“Good morning,” she said softly.“Good morning,” I replied, my voice still a little rough.She moved closer, checking the drip attached to my hand.“How are you feeling today?”I watched her as she adjusted it carefully.

Luciano POVBy the time I got back home from the club, the noise was still in my head.The music.The cheers.And her.But none of that stayed long.What stayed… was him.The man in the black suit.The way he looked at me.The way he disappeared.And that message.Loser.I dropped my keys on the table and ran a hand through my hair, pacing the room slowly.Whoever he was, he knew me.Not just my face but my number too.That wasn't a coincidence.It was deliberate.I tried to push it aside, to focus on something else, but my mind kept circling back to it like a wound I couldn’t stop touching.I hated not knowing.I hated it even more that someone thought they could play with me.I exhaled sharply.This wasn’t working.I needed something else to distract me.Something real.Something I could control.And somehow… my mind went to her.Aria.It had been two days since I last saw her.Two days was too long.I clicked my tongue softly, already moving toward the bathroom.The cold water ran

Luciano POV The moment I stepped into the ring, I felt it.The heat, and the weight of eyes.The muscular man turned fully toward me, his lips curling into a slow sneer. He looked me up and down like I was nothing.Like I didn’t belong there. Like I was already dead.Behind me, I could feel Elena’s gaze.She gave me a sharp stare that interpreted something..“Are you sure you want to do this?” she asked, her voice lower now, serious.Her eyes dropped briefly to my chest.Like she was reading something there.Like she could see the rust.“I’ll be fine,” I said, pulling off my sweatshirt. “Trust me.”I tossed it toward her.She caught it easily.Her fingers brushed over the fabric, slow, and carelessly l.Then I turned away and walked straight into the center of the pit.Without hesitation, nor turning back.The moderator stepped forward.“No weapons,” he called out.We both raised our hands slightly.Clean.The bell rang.And he moved faster than me.His fist came out of nowhere and s

Luciano POV “Yeah… not there. Move it a little to the left… good. Leave the flowers there. And the incense—no, not too close. It should be subtle, not choking.”I stood in the middle of the room, watching everything come together piece by piece.It didn’t look like my room anymore.It looked… softer.Warmer and more occupied.Miss Rosa moved around like a woman on a mission, adjusting curtains, smoothing sheets, placing things with careful precision like she was preparing for someone important.Maybe she was.Her excitement filled the air in a way I couldn’t ignore. It showed in the way she smiled to herself, in how her hands moved faster than usual, in the way her eyes lit up every time Aria’s name was mentioned.“Don Luciano,” she called, turning toward me. “You asked me to pack her clothes. I’ve done that. Where should I keep them?”“In my room,” I replied without thinking.She was perplexed.“I’m sorry… what did you just say?”This time, I smiled faintly.“In my room, Miss Rosa.”

Luciano’s POV“Put me down!” she protested.“That’s your problem,” I growled. “You’re too damn stubborn. Do you want to kill yourself?”I tightened my hold on her. “I own you, Aria. Listen to me. You’re mine, and I’ll decide everything you do.”She shivered under my grasp, the fight draining from her body. That was all it took to silence her.I carried her into the bathroom, stripped the nightgown from her fevered skin, and turned on the shower, letting the warm water cascade over her hair. After a moment, I shut it off and led her back to the bedroom.This was the first time I had seen her completely naked under the soft glow of the bedside lamp. She looked like a goddess—small waist, full breasts, and curvy hips that begged to be worshipped. My cock hardened instantly at the sight. If she weren’t burning with fever, she would already be moaning my name beneath me.“Put this on,” I said, handing her a fresh nightdress. I didn’t trust myself if she remained bare any longer.She took t
