Mafia: Definitive Edition Review Novels & Stories

No daylight, no damn ventilation, just me, four walls, and the lingering scent of piss and betrayal. I wasn’t chained up like some criminal. No, they wanted me alive enough to bleed slowly. I clenched my jaw, as my thoughts drifted somewhere else with blood crusted at the corner of my mouth, the metallic taste making me growl. The only thing ringing in my head louder than the news broadcast was one word: Alessia and The White Book. That file was my damn insurance policy and my last resort to destroy everything that existed in the Mafia Family. A powerful ledger so vile, so goddamn explosive it would make the FBI piss their pants and make the Mafia run for cover.

Mikhail rose, his posture immaculate, eyes sweeping over the congregation. Thunderous applause erupted, filling the hall with a deafening roar. Mikhail’s expression remained stoic, but a flicker of pride crossed his features. He turned to face the crowd, voice echoing and commanding every corner of the hall. "It is now official. I, Mikhail Morozov, am the Pakhan of the Bratva's empire, and my beautiful wife beside me is my Pakhanesa, the first ever Bratva female leader in our history." The crowd’s applause swelled again, louder this time, almost like the walls themselves were cheering. Donatella smiled, radiant in a crimson gown that flowed like liquid fire, her hair styled perfectly — regal

(NFTMB) Chapter 91 Alessandro (Green Eyed Monster) Horror. Absolute shock. What is happening to me? Why does everyone get away with deceiving me? I feel useless and as dumb as a bitch. Can I ever get anything right? Why do I always get used by people? I'm a dumb mafia boss. A very dumb mafia boss. Possibly the worst mafia boss in history. With each wave of hatred and self torture, I downed yet another glass of whisky down with great force.

Lorenzo broke first. "Please." The word came out cracked. Pathetic. Human. Mark didn't move. "Please." Again. Nothing. Mia found herself looking away. Not because she pitied Lorenzo. But because she suddenly understood something she hadn't before. The mafia didn't survive because it was brutal. It survived because it knew when brutality wasn't necessary. That realization unsettled her more than anything she'd seen. On the drive home, she stayed quiet. Mark let her. For once.

And Marcus Hale — who knew everything, always, with that particular omniscience that came from having spent forty years building a network specifically designed to know everything — had gone quiet in a way that felt less like absence and more like patience. The most dangerous kind of quiet. I turned from the window and picked up my pen. There were moves to be made. But that evening, as I sat across from Lena at the small dinner table and watched her laugh at something Mara had said from the kitchen — unguarded, genuine, the laugh she didn't know I'd been cataloguing since the first time I'd heard it — I understood with a cold, clear certainty what was actually at stake. It wasn't the empire.

“I’ve heard the phrase before. ‘Burn the board.’ Jace used to say it when he was pissed at the old rules. When someone beat him through hierarchy, not skill.” “He wants to break the foundation,” Alessio murmured. “Not just ours,” Bianca said. “All of them. He thinks the world has gotten soft. That mafia became politics. That crime forgot its teeth.” Alessio turned toward her, his voice cold. “He thinks he’s evolution.” “No,” Bianca said. “He thinks he’s revenge.” He picked up a file. “Three days.” “If Rosa’s right, he’s already set the pieces.” Alessio didn’t blink. “Then we flip the board first.”

“They hired a Russian mobster who played me horrible. I managed to turn the situation around and not get so hurt, but this one is capable of anything. It's a real animal. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. “Do you understand why I really need someone to trust, Mina?” He asks me in his broken voice. “I feel like everyone wants to hurt me. I've done horrible things in my life, but this last time I've tried to fix it by getting all this shit out of me, trying to cut ties with these people, but they're the worst scum that can exist in the world.” “Black... That Russian mobster who played you is…” “Yes, Mina. He's Mikael Sydow's own son of a bitch.”

This time a beam of blue light burst out, making Arsenio feel dazzled. He spontaneously covered his eyes with one hand, until the light gradually disappeared. [CONGRATULATIONS! YOU LEVELED UP!] [YOU ARE CURRENTLY AT THE LEVEL OF A BRANDED MAFIA (#CRUEL CLASS)] [THE MAFIA SYSTEM HAS BEEN UPGRADED NOW. YOUR WAY OF GETTING REWARDS, POINTS AND LEVELING UP WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM BEFORE.] [PLEASE PRESS 'YES!' TO PROCEED TO THE NEXT STAGE.]

I bit my lips as I heaved a sigh, "The name on the file is Jaylen Noire Adryan, I am sure you are aware of that." "Yes, I am very well aware," Alexis put off her massage chair. How would anybody decide to just wake up and kill Jaylen, it's like signing a death contract and I didn't sign one. "And you want me to kill him? That man Is well protected, I am also sure you are well aware of that," I tried my best to be calm because I'm around Alexis. The person they wanted me to eliminate is one of the youngest, most successful and notorious mafia lords, Jaylen Noire Adryan. He is the king of the underground world and he is the kind of person someone like me would never want to cross paths with.

Nicole stared at her laptop, eyes roving around the white screen. Her hands eagerly danced on the keyboard. She was perturbed, she was frightened, she was scared. Any words that could describe this sudden agitation and horror that she was drowning in. She was petrified as she kept on surfing on the net. Mafia. She was researching about mafias. The more she searched, the more horror struck she became. "A mafia is a type of criminal organisation whose central activity is the arbitration of disputes between criminals and the organization and efforcement of illicit agreements through the use of violence"
