Culpa Mía Book Series In English Novels & Stories

Maliyla's POV Two days later Erick's text message shook us all to the core. The worst part was that Katia's mom was caught up in all of this, which made me feel even worse. Despite her assurances that she wasn't upset, I couldn't shake the feeling that it was all my fault. I struggled with intense internal conflict and overwhelming self-blame. The weight of responsibility pressed heavily on my shoulders, as I couldn't help but replay the events in my mind and wonder if there was something I could have done differently to prevent this situation.

DEAREST GENTLE READERS, Firstly, thank you so much for choosing Luciano’s Forbidden Desire. I need you to know that your choice to embark on this journey with me means so much. And if you're coming from the previous book in the MAFIA RUTHLESS SERIES, which is—THE MAFIA’S WILLING PREY, then I need you to know that you're right on track, because the ride here is just about to become much more intense.

It was just me, the man who ruined her friend, and her, the shield. “Mia,” I began, my voice rough from disuse and the endless grinding of guilt. “I know why you are here. I know why Elara disappeared. I know the truth about Victoria and Lucas. I cleared Elara’s name. Victoria is ruined. Lucas is gone.” Mia crossed her arms over her chest, leaning back in her chair. She didn’t show an inch of relief or surprise. Her expression was pure, concentrated contempt. “And you think that changes anything?” she asked, her voice low and dangerously steady. “You think because you finally did the bare minimum to cover your own shame, after the fact, that I owe you a reward? Or Elara owes you a location?”

Mia ran her hands on her hair trying to stop the thought which was very shocking. She turned to Eva and unlike her, Eva was very calm, her eyes studying Justin with the gun still aimed at him. “The Bravta is someone I always hated even since I was little, he is one of Capo’s long time enemies but now I know why” she said. “But you said something about not following his plans to get rid of Mia, why are you still alive?” she asked and Mia looked at Justin to hear his answer.

If I didn’t carry the guilt of slamming Daruka’s head on the wall so harshly, I would have slammed Caleb’s head for sure and proved his point. “Why don’t you start with keeping your mouth in control?” Mia said in my defense and I looked at her with a pang of painful guilt stabbing my chest. I had thrown her back too. She must be hurt. Goddess, how did I get out of control twice today? What was up Crystal?

bunny said but immediately Mia heard this she removed her hand from bunny’s shoulder and puts it in her hand and scream in it *what Lucas, ohh no* Mia said in her head as the brutal past passes briefly pass her eyes It was all her fault, if she hadn’t met Carl then Melinda wouldn’t have met Lucas and none of this would be happening “My condolences dear I’m so sorry please take heart” Mia says and starts to feel uncomfortable with bunny because of guilt “I think I should start heading home now, Mai husband must be looking for me by now, and I’m sorry for what happened goodbye and thanks dear,” Mia says as she picks up her phone and bag, she then calls for a cab and leaves almost immediately,

Chapter One The Conspiracy Sophie’s POV "Your highness! Your highness, please listen to me. You have to believe me; I didn't do this!" I pleaded, desperation filling my voice as I was forcefully dragged into the courtroom. My hands were stained with Mia's innocent blood, and in my other hand, I held the murderer's weapon. What had happened in the last few minutes and how I had reached this point, where I was being doubted, was still so hard for me to comprehend.

The doctor whose name tag was spelt Callisto shivered and felt wronged. He didn't know how all that was happening was his fault. He has tried his best and lived up to his profession. Stomping out of his office in arrogance, Aurora went to Mia's ward. A strange light flashed across her eyes as she took unhurried steps towards the bed. Stopping to look at the face she hates most, Aurora chuckled. She ran her slim and well-manicured nails all over the gas pipe that led to Mia's nose. "Oh, Mia! You wouldn't know what hits you. Tsk tsk tsk, should I say, it's a pity you trust so easily?"

MIA’S P.O.V I took a sip of my strawberry daiquiri, admiring the turquoise blue water in front of me. Soaking in the sun I laid on a sunbed with nothing but my white bikini and rainbow sarong. I was done being ‘Goody two shoes’, my abandonment and time in jail, gave me a lot of time to think and go through my life, inspecting each detail of my past and all I realized was that no matter how much of good I have done, I was always let down by life. I no longer believed that ‘if you do good, good will come to you, but that doesn’t mean that I would no longer be a good person, it just means that I would no longer be always so sweet and innocent, letting everyone does something wrong to me, get aw

Narcia’s P.O.V. He loves me, he actually said he loves me. Chris had barely left my side since we got back with Mila. I was devastated that I couldn’t save her, it was all my fault. 7 hours earlier. “What have I done Chris? How can I ever forgive myself. How can you even look at me!! You should throw me in the cells and leave me there to rot, Ebony is right even that is more than I deserve! You should tie me to a stake right now and watch me burn for my crimes!” I was broken, sobbing on the floor an absolute mess. I had done many bad things in my lifetime, but this really was the worst. I took a young girl from her home, help to incapacitate her, take her to a prison cell in a cave, enchante
