Alle Kapitel von Married to the Mafia King: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

Chapter One: The Night Everything ChangedThe rain had been falling relentlessly since sunset, washing the city beneath a cold veil of silver and turning the empty streets into endless reflections of trembling lights. From the bedroom window, Elena Carter watched the storm in silence, her fingers wrapped tightly around her phone as she tried, for what felt like the hundredth time that evening, to reach her father.He still wasn't answering.Normally, Victor Carter would never disappear without telling her where he was going. Even when his work kept him away from home for hours, he always found a moment to call her, especially since Elena had been the only person he had left after so many years of keeping the rest of the world at a distance.Tonight, however, every call went unanswered.She stared at his name on the screen, fighting the uneasiness that had been growing inside her since late afternoon, when she had first noticed that something about her father seemed different. He had b

Chapter Three: A Marriage ProposalElena barely slept that night.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the same things again: the men inside her father's house, the sound of the gunshot, her father's frightened voice telling her to run, and finally the cold, unreadable face of Damian Moretti waiting for her beside the black car.By morning, she had convinced herself that leaving the mansion was the only sensible thing to do.She couldn't stay there.She didn't know Damian, she didn't trust him, and whatever connection existed between him and her father was clearly something he had no intention of explaining.Elena opened the bedroom door and stepped into the hallway, only to find two men standing near the staircase.They immediately straightened."Mr. Moretti said you're not allowed to leave the house."Elena stared at them in disbelief."Of course he did."She walked past them anyway, but one of the men stepped in front of her."Please don't make this difficult.""Move.""I'm sorr

Chapter Five: Mrs. MorettiBy the time Elena returned to the bedroom, the reality of what she had done had finally begun to settle over her. She had signed a marriage contract with a man she had met less than twenty-four hours ago, a man whose name was feared throughout the city and whose world seemed to be built on secrets she could barely begin to understand.Yet the strangest part was that she didn't regret it.Not completely.If marrying Damian could give her even the smallest chance of finding her father, then she was willing to take that risk.A knock interrupted her thoughts.She turned toward the door and found a woman standing there with several garment bags hanging from her arm."Mr. Moretti asked me to bring these for you."Elena frowned. "I don't need new clothes."The woman smiled politely. "He said you would."She placed the bags on the bed before leaving.Elena opened the first one and found an elegant black dress inside, followed by several others in different styles.

Chapter Seven: The Man in Her PastElena remained standing in the middle of the room long after Damian had left to deal with the security breach. She could still feel the weight of his words, particularly the way he had said my wife, as though the title carried a meaning neither of them had expected when she signed the contract.She looked down at her phone again.The photograph was still displayed on the screen.Someone had been watching the mansion.Someone had known exactly when she arrived, exactly where she stood, and exactly who she was with.Her first instinct was to call Adrian.She immediately stopped herself.The photograph of him beside her father returned to her mind, followed by Damian's warning that the people surrounding her were not necessarily who they claimed to be.For the first time in years, Elena wondered whether Adrian had ever truly loved her.Her phone suddenly vibrated.This time, his name appeared on the screen.Adrian.She stared at it until the call nearly

Chapter 9: The First ThreatThe old Moretti property stood at the edge of the city, hidden behind tall iron gates and a line of dark trees that seemed to swallow the moonlight. It had once belonged to Damian’s grandfather, but according to Damian, the house had been abandoned for years.Yet someone had been using it.The moment Elena stepped out of the car, she felt the strange heaviness in the air. Nothing moved around them, but the silence was too perfect, too deliberate. Damian noticed her hesitation and moved closer without saying a word, his eyes scanning the property before he finally looked at her.“Stay beside me.”Elena glanced at him. “You say that as if I was planning to run into a dangerous house alone.”“I know you well enough to know you might.”She almost smiled, but the expression disappeared when Damian’s men approached the entrance and forced the old door open.Inside, the house smelled of dust and damp wood. Their footsteps echoed through the empty hallway as Damian
