11. THE RAMEN

LUNA I fucked up. Royally. He deserves it. I really meant what I said. But I still fucked it up. I should have kept my mouth shut. I can’t get un-kidnapped now. That wasn’t part of the plan or whatever plan my clumsy mind drafted. Footsteps hurled outside my door. Imagine building a castle and somehow becoming a miser when it comes to the walls. Alessandro, at least, can make these walls and doors soundproof. My stomach growled loudly. Why the hell didn’t I try to steal food instead of a knife? Look where that got me—absolutely nowhere. “What are you going to do with her?” I heard Mateo ask. One more time, I found myself pressing my ears against the door. “I won’t do anything now. Not yet. Inform our men. We are not going to do anything. Colton will go insane because of the silence.” I smiled. “Her father will imagine the worst. She already got a reputation. This will only prove the point. Honour is everything for Colton. This damage is irreversible.” I am not smiling anymore

12. THE DARKNESS

LUNAAlessandro’s name used to be whispered in the dead of night like an old maid’s tale. His first kill happened when he was twelve years old. His father was attacked. If it weren’t for Sandro, his father would have died then.He is dead anyway, four years later.That’s when people truly feared that name.Both of his parents were dead. Rumour is that Alessandro created a blood bath at sixteen years old to protect his folks. He didn’t succeed. His parents were brutally murdered.For the next three months, Alessandro hunted every person down and cut their throats just as brutally. He was only sixteen.The main perpetrator remains mysterious, or so people thought.Naturally, hands pointed at Elio. There were two brothers. One throne. You get the gist.The real question is whether Elio is innocent or not?If he wasn’t, Alessandro would have killed him. Maybe Alessandro doesn’t have enough proof. I do.I smiled to myself. I need to know more about this Alessandro.I walked to the door and

13. THE FOOL

ALESSANDRORemi started to cough blood. I rolled my eyes. The kid can’t take a punch in his stomach. Somehow, planned an attack on my home when he couldn’t even get past the outskirts of my city.Blonde hair. Pale skin. Boyish features. No wonder Luna wants to marry this guy.He looked less like an underboss's son and more like the lead actor in one of those romantic comedies my mother used to watch on Sunday afternoons.I am sure he blushes when Luna touches him.Now his face rested against my shoe. I nudged him away. He coughed harder.It hasn’t been at least a week since I shot his hand, stole his bride, and raised havoc in his territory.Yet here he was with one bandaged hand, two loyal idiots behind him, invading my territory.For love.Ridiculous.I stretched my hand and Marco placed his phone in my hand. I unlocked the live camera feed.Luna filled the screen.Wrists tied behind her back.Ankles bound.Blindfold secured.Cloth stuffed into her mouth.She twisted violently again

14. THE WOMAN

LUNAI never imagined Remi would come for me.My father? Yes.Not because he loved me, but because I was useful. I was his daughter, his investment, his bargaining chip. Losing me meant losing leverage, and men like Colton Voss didn't misplace their assets.But Remi...Remi owed me nothing.Our engagement had always been a performance, carefully choreographed by two powerful families. We smiled when people watched, exchanged polite conversations over dinners we both wished would end sooner, and discussed escape plans when no one was listening. We were never in love.He knew marrying me wasn't a dream. It was a sacrifice.And yet, he still came. My chest tightened painfully.He came with a gunshot wound that hadn't even healed. He came after Alessandro De Luca. He came into Ashmoor.For me.My vision blurred.“He is innocent,” I pleaded, the words tumbling out before I could stop them. "Please... don't hurt him."The devil smirked.“Funny,” he murmured.His amber eyes never left mine.

15. THE NEGOTIATION

LUNAThink, Luna. Think. There should be a way. There must be a way to save Remi. There must be something. Anything.Think. Just think.What’s his weakness? Mother, father, Matias?Matias.What exactly do I know about Matias?Nothing.Absolutely nothing.Just that my brilliant father somehow thought kidnapping a twelve-year-old was an excellent business strategy.Honestly, Colton Voss deserved every migraine he had ever suffered.I blew out a frustrated breath. Fine.If I couldn't use facts, I'd use confidence.People believed confidence. Half the mafia survived on confidence and expensive suits.I quietly walked toward the door and pressed my ear against the wood.At this point, I could probably identify every member of this ridiculous household by their footsteps alone.Matias practically declared war on the floorboards every time he walked. The child didn't know the meaning of indoor voice or indoor footsteps.Marco's stride was lazy, almost cheerful. Like he had never experienced

16. THE STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN

LUNA Warmth spread across every cell of my body. Alessandro took a step forward. And I intended to took another step back. Stupid ego got in the way, and the result is that I am way too close to him. We are standing so close that I could feel his hot breath on my nose. “You really thought you won Remi’s freedom from this deal?” He asked me. His tone was suddenly low, and the temperature was a hundred degrees high. I think so. I really won Remi’s freedom, didn’t I? “I am sure you are questioning yourself right now.” Did I say it out loud? “No, you didn’t.” I gasped, but Alessandro stared at me with that same stoic face. “You are so predictable, Luna.” He raised his hand, and as much as I hated it, the first thing I did was to flinch, expecting a slap. There…I showed another one of my weaknesses. “I am not gonna hurt you.” He whispered, “At least not like this. And if I intended to hurt you, you wouldn't see it coming.” Asshole. His thumb caressed my jaw before he gripped my

17. THE VINCENZO

ALESSANDRO Vin is pissed. He is always pissed. He is extra pissed now. But his eyes gave nothing away. Marco turned his head to look at Luna, who was currently hiding behind him to protect herself from Vin’s wrath. “Whatever made you think I am the safest option here—,” He shook his head, “Don’t trust it.” “Aren’t you supposed to guard your hostage with your life or something?” Luna asked him. “Guard the hostage from running away? Yes. Guard with my life for the hostage’s life? No.” He took a pause. “You are eating chips and watching a Korean drama. You sure you really are the hostage here?” “Should I have to remember how I was treated in the Raven? I am a hundred percent hostage.” She argued. “What’s Raven?” Matias asked Luna. She looked at me, threw her thumb over her shoulder, “Your brother has a question.” “They sure do,” Vin whispered beside me before he disappeared to his room. “Why the fuck is she roaming freely in our house, hanging out with our brother? Why did you

18. THE OMELETTE

LUNA“You are gonna burn my kitchen.” Sandro noticed, looking around the mess I made.“I am not,” I screamed, cutting the potatoes. “We are making a Spanish omelette.”“We? I didn’t agree to make anything.”I gave him a tomato. “Wash it.”Sandro sighed. A deep, long sigh. But he went to wash the tiny red fruit cum vegetable.For the first time in my life, I had the entire kitchen for me to do whatever—no—to make the omelette.I have watched so many cosy cooking videos on YouTube that I am sure I can cook the most delicious omelette ever.But the reality is different. It’s not that easy.Apparently, I can’t wake up one day, decide to cook, and master it in the very same day.Sandro is observing every moment.Either he really believed that I would burn down his kitchen, or he just wants to prove his point—mafia princess can’t do shit.He is a hundred percent sure that I am the girl who didn’t lift a finger in her lifetime.Most of it is true.I need to prove that it’s false. I failed mi

19. THE PURPOSE

LUNA“So, are you done sulking?” Alessandro asked.I have completed my omelette, washed the plate, and started another drama.“Why are you addicted to these K-dramas?” He questioned, flopping beside me. The place suddenly became hotter than before.“It’s a C-drama.” I pointed at the screen.“What’s a C-drama?” He questioned.It’s hard to glare at him and try not to look below his neck at the same time.“Chinese drama.”“Oh. And you are allowed to watch all these dramas at home?”I gave him a look. “What else do I do with all the time I have?”He nodded as if he understood.“Just so you know. A new Marvel movie will release, and I will go to the theatre whether you let me or not.”“Hmm…” That’s all he said.Silence followed for exactly ten seconds.“Do you know how to book a movie ti—,”“I do. I watched all the Marvel movies released in the last five years in the theatre.”Too much information. I know. But I can’t stand him thinking I am some dumb mafia princess.“And Colton let you go

20. THE WHORE

LUNAI told him I would burn the dress down, and he warned me that if I did that, I wouldn’t get anything else to wear. Alessandro promised he wouldn’t lay a finger on me. But he could do much worse. Now, I have to sit helplessly before the man who made me feel small and powerless for my entire life. Even if the man was my father, I can’t ask for help. His help with an old man and another prison. I looked at my reflection in the mirror.A girl with a heart-shaped face stared back at me. Soft features.Wide grey eyes that always seemed too honest for the lies they had learned to tell.A small nose. Pink lips I had spent years biting whenever speaking wasn't safe.Long black hair spilt over my shoulders in loose waves, refusing to stay tamed no matter how many maids brushed it.People always called me beautiful. Pretty. Delicate. Sweet.As though they had looked at my face and decided the rest of me without asking.No one ever looked long enough to notice the permanent tension in my s
