Chapter 1
Are they going to be alright?" Madam Paula's voice trembled with worry as she stepped in front of Andreas, who was heading towards the bunker.
The mansion grounds were a flurry of activity as several vehicles were strategically positioned, and the men made final preparations for the imminent conflict.
"I cannot provide a definite answer to that, but we are doing everything we can to ensure their safe return," Andreas reassured her.
"Oh God! Is this my fault?" Madam Paula's distressed thoughts spilled out loud as she grappled with the overwhelming news.
The recent shocking revelation had left her in a state of profound disbelief and distress
Isabella and Sophia had been kidnapped.
“It isn't Madam Paula. We just weren't expecting a threat right outside of the mansion,” Andreas replied, trying to calm the shaken woman down.
“Is the Don going to sack me?” Madam Paula asked as tears dropped from her eyes.
She knew just how much Luciano loved his little girl.
“Madam Paula you need to calm down!”, Mia urged as she tried to help her from falling to the floor.
“No Madam Paula! You should get some rest! We're working on bringing them back.”, Andreas answered as he brought Madam Paula to one of the chairs in the kitchen.
“I shouldn't have allowed them to leave without confirmation from you or The Don.”, Madam Paula said, bringing her palms to her forehead.
“It's okay Madam Paula! I have to go now! The Don asked me to get something for him!”, Andreas said.
Looking at Mia who stood silently beside Madam Paula, Andreas requested;
“Please give her a glass of water and make sure she gets some rest!”
“Okay!”, Mia answered as she quickly went back to the kitchen to grab a glass of water.
The tension looming in the mansion was no joke.
“I have to go now!”, Andreas said, patting Madam Paula's back before he headed to the basement.
Andreas climbed down the ladder, impressed by how fast the bunker had turned into a neat research center.
“Our aerial view still hasn't found an access point yet!”, Andreas reported to Luciano, whose attention was drawn by the tech guys.
Compared to the suits he was always dappered in, Luciano looked very unorganized as his tie hung loosely on his neck.
The Mafia Don would have never expected to hear his lover and child had been kidnapped while he was about to sign a multi million Euro deal.
“DON!”, one of the men called as he finally got access to the security camera he had been trying to hack.
The other men sat in front of the computers making sure that they weren't detected by the system.
“Any progress?!”, Luciano asked as he came into the room, Andreas following closely behind him.
“There is sir, we've been able to bypass the firewalls and the encryption!”, the tech guy answered.
“Good, good! What's the situation looking like?!”, Luciano asked as he watched the security cameras one by one.
The tech guy was rather scared, aware of the fact that a very angry Mafia Don was breathing heavily beside him.
“I thought you said the tracker led us to this building. What's going on?!”, Andreas asked, confused as it didn't look like Isabella or Sophia were in the building.
“There's a second page!”, The tech guy answered nervously.
“Do they know we can see and hear them?!”, Luciano asked.
“No sir, we bypassed the security but didn't trigger any alarms!”, the tech guy answered.
“Good! Now get me visuals on my daughter! Can you do that?!”, Luciano asked, his mind racing with several possibilities.
From the report Madam Paula gave him, they had simply gone to get ice cream.
He certainly wouldn't have expected it would result in him having to trace the tracking device in the necklace he had given his daughter.
‘Who could possibly be behind this?!’, Luciano thought, already promising the most torturous unaliving process.
“Yes, we can Don!”
“Look, look over here!”, Luciano pointed as the tech guy clicked on the next page.
“Here, this one!”, Luciano pointed as the tech guy moved the cursor.
Clicking on the frame Luciano pointed at, Sophia and Isabella popped on the screen, their appearances looking so disheveled.
“It's a modified camera! It should be able to transmit audio feed as well! Get me on!”, Luciano ordered, looking intently at the monitor.
“Yes Don!”, The tech guy said as he pressed a button, resulting in sound from the video feed.
“It's okay sweetie!”, They heard Isabella's voice say to Sophia as she kept patting her back.
“Daddy!”, Sophia called out, resulting in Luciano's fist clenching tightly.
“He'll come soon!”, Isabella simply reassured.
“We don't know who has them! Do you think this would give them away?!”, Andreas asked Luciano as they watched Isabella hug Sophia tightly into her arms.
“Probably would! I don't know anyone crazy enough to kidnap my daughter!”, Luciano replied.
“...And Isabella!”, Andreas added.
“Yeah, except it's not someone we're familiar with!”, Luciano said as he thought.
“Wait, hold on to that thought, someone just entered the room!”, Andreas said, pointing to the door suddenly being opened.
“Uncle?!”, Luciano questioned, wondering why his uncle was in the building.
“What's Uncle Luigi doing in the building?!”, Andreas asked as he stepped closer to the monitor to confirm he wasn't seeing things.
“Shit! They got him too!”, Luciano said, banging his fist on the table as he concluded.
“Who could have such an Intel!?!”, Luciano wondered, his mind drifting to the traitor amongst them.
His opposition had no idea he got together with Isabella. This confirmed Luciano's suspicion that there was indeed a traitor.
‘It can't be Isabella, or can it??’, Luciano thought to himself.
“What?, What's going on?!”, Andreas asked as Luigi's body language wasn't identical to that of Isabella's.
He didn't seem like he was held hostage.
Despite his position in Luciano's operation and the fact that he could protect himself quite well, Luigi would still react in a certain way if he was held hostage.
“...Except!”, Andreas connected the dots, failing to believe the conclusion he came to.
“Luciano always liked brunettes!”, Luigi started as he closed the door behind him.
Luigi's sentence threw Andreas off, giving him the answer he suspected.
“Shit!”, Andreas said, seeing that his suspicion was true. He looked towards Luciano.
Wondering why his uncle didn't seem the least bit bothered about being held hostage, Luciano became confused about what his uncle was talking about.
“Leave us alone!”, they heard Isabella's spitfire voice say as she wrapped Sophia in a hug.
“What's going…!”, Luciano tried to ask no one in particular as he didn't want to trust the suspicion he was getting.
“Pathetic!”, Luigi spat as he approached Isabella's crouched figure with Sophia laying her head on her mother's bosom.
“You know! All that mouth would have been useful if your dear husband was here!”, Luigi said, using his hand to stroke Isabella’s face.
Seeing this, Luciano stood quietly as his hands wrapped into a tight fist.
“Are the men ready?!”, Luciano asked.
“Yes Don!”, Andreas answered as they watched the scene unfold.

Three months later .
He knelt down on the streets of Chicago in despair, begging me to remarry him.
My six-year-old son looked coldly at his biological father and said, "Get lost, you bad uncle! You don't deserve to be my dad!"
When I Disappeared, He Regretted It
The moment the screen lit up, my entire world came crashing down.
The woman on the bed was Calista - that girl who grew up with us since we were kids. And that hand caressing her skin was wearing the wedding ring I had personally put on Matteo's finger.
"I've missed you so much..."
"You drive me crazy, baby..."
Those sweet words I knew so well completely destroyed me.
Everyone said we were the perfect couple, but who knew this marriage was built on nothing but lies?
Since he's so good at acting, I guess it's time I gave him a show of my own. I'm going to make sure everyone sees what this "perfect husband" really is...
I Loved You in Silence, You Betrayed Me in French
At my birthday party, my husband whispered to his mistress in French that he missed her. His voice was low, but I heard it all—the black lingerie, the bit about how pregnancy makes you more sensitive. His French clients around us were laughing. He turned and put his arm around me, claiming he was just helping his clients come up with sweet nothings.
He doesn't know I understand every single word. Just like he doesn't know that inside my body, I'm carrying his other surprise. And his mistress—she's pregnant too. Two wombs, one secret.
Confrontation would be too cheap. Tears are worthless. I quietly started cataloging the hidden networks my father left behind, activating the Swiss accounts.
In seven days, Zoey Smith will cease to exist. And what will my husband's reaction be?
Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother

I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.

Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.

The Human Among Wolves
My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.

Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.

“You…” she breathed.
