OLIVIA

“Wait, he’s your husband?”

Doubts stirred in my chest, then it was replaced by an unsettling feeling that formed a knot in my stomach.

Anger.

Isabella tried to mask the moment with a nervous laugh, her eyes glaring and passing several signals telling me to compose myself.

But I ignored every one of them.

Isabella shot me a warning look. “Don’t be rude now, Olivia. Fernando is—‘’

Without warning or listening, I headed straight to the door, my hands gripping the doorknob tightly. I couldn’

    OLIVIA“What?”I was stunned, completely caught off guard by Isabella’s words. My eyes fell on her stomach, trying to see if the bump was already visible.Damien and Isabella having a baby together?I didn’t know what to feel about it, but it was totally unexpected.“I… I don’t even know what to say.”She sipped her juice. “Right. Don’t tell Mum. Nobody knows yet. Except you and Axel.”So… that was why they were exchanging those glances. I knew… I mean, I suspected they were hiding something.My eyebrows furrowed. “You haven’t told Damien?”She shook her head. “No.”“Isabella—‘’I didn’t get to say the words before someone interrupted me. It was Grant, and he sounded urgent.“Ace is probably having some private conversation, and there’s nobody else I could think of telling.”“What?” I asked.“She’s outside,” he murmured, glancing at the main entrance. “Rosa.”My stomach instantly dropped. Rosa. I hadn’t seen or heard anything from her since Axel was in the hospital back in Willow Cree

  • BOUND TO THE MAFIA LORD [BOOK 1 OF ‘ENTANGLED’ SERIES]   Before I leave.

    AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI“What are you doing?” I asked Damien calmly, and immediately we walked into the council room.He strode in, halting a few steps away while I walked towards the table. His forehead creased, and he looked totally confused.“What?”“What’s she doing here?”“Who?” He asked, fueling my anger before adding. “Caterina?”I’d seen the painful look on Isabella’s face after he’d introduced Caterina as his girlfriend, and it made my stomach churn.She didn’t deserve that—the betrayal, the heartbreak, Isabella didn’t deserve any of that from him.Not when she was carrying his baby.“I just told all of you,” he stepped forward, still unaware of the chaos he’d created. “She’s my girlfriend. We met in Italy years ago and kicked things off.”Kick things off? He made me scoff. So, what if they’d met years ago? That didn’t give him the right to mess with Isabella’s head and make her fall for him.The main thing that annoyed me was the fact that he saw nothing wrong with it. And if

  • BOUND TO THE MAFIA LORD [BOOK 1 OF ‘ENTANGLED’ SERIES]   The other woman.

    OLIVIAI didn’t see Isabella again until one week later. It was Alix’s second birthday, and Axel insisted on throwing a grand party.He’d said something about inviting close friends, but ended up having a full hall of people who were not familiar to me.Isabella attended, and I rushed to meet her the moment she walked into the hall. The last time she’d stormed out, I had no idea where she’d gone.“Bella,” I whispered, running into her arms with my glass of wine in my hand. “You came.”Her familiar scent relaxed me, and I wanted to remain in her arms for as long as I could.Conversations were going on in the hall between the guests, and the slow music made the atmosphere cozy.She patted my back gently, her voice soft and void of the anger I’d heard the last time.“Of course, I came. It’s my nephew’s birthday.”Tears stung my eyes as I pulled away, threatening to stream down my cheeks. My sister smiled at me, her fingers brushing against my cheek gently.“I’m sorry,” I apologized. “If

    AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI“I called for this meeting, and I’ll give you my orders however I want.”I said sternly to Giovanni, after he kept trying to ignore every single word I said.The council members were getting on my very last nerves. They were hell bent on punishing Isabella, but forgot the times when nobody sat in that room with me.“She stole the ledger,” Carlos muttered. “Broke the omertà, and you’re not going to punish her?”I reclined my back against my chair, gently swirling so I wouldn’t lose my temper. Although, I was slowly getting there.“No.”“Are you listening to yourself, Ace?” Hector said. “After everything that girl has caused us?”“She returned the ledger. Why would you want to punish her?”“Because it’s a part of the rules,” Hector slammed his fist into the table. “And right now, you’re breaking them all for someone who isn’t even worth it.”That ‘someone’ was treated like trash and she had every right to do what she’d done.I cleared my throat slightly, my eyes fix

  • BOUND TO THE MAFIA LORD [BOOK 1 OF ‘ENTANGLED’ SERIES]   Two surprises.

    OLIVIAI woke up the next morning smiling and feeling… satisfied. Last night was the best night of my life, and I could already imagine having more of everything that happened.The smile on my face refused to fade, not even after Axel had left for a meeting and I’d gone to meet Alix because I missed him.Mum was downstairs, preparing breakfast, and it was just me and my sister in the room.“Someone looks happy today,” Isabella commented, helping Mum arrange the clean laundry. “Hmmm.”I smiled, playing with Alix as he kept dropping his favorite toy and telling me to pick it up over and over again.“It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?” I asked.I turned to face Isabella and she was staring at me with her furrowed eyebrows. The suspicious look on her face made me laugh.“What?” I chuckled. “You’re staring like I did something.”“Well, did you?” She tossed the folded blanket in her hand into the basket and picked another one up. “I did nothing, Bella.”“I have a hard time believing that.”I

  • BOUND TO THE MAFIA LORD [BOOK 1 OF ‘ENTANGLED’ SERIES]   A promise of forever.

    AXEL SALVATORE ROSSI“Oh my god,” she moaned, tilting her head backward. “Your fingers feel so good on my skin.”I’d spent the last five seconds slipping the ring into her finger before Olivia pulled me back into her arms.Her actions were swift, impatient, and I felt the hunger in her kiss. My fingers slid down the straps of her skin down and it fell down her shoulders. I fondled with her breasts, taking her left nipple in my mouth while she moaned softly.Her body was warm, and she wasn’t wearing any bra. My tongue swirled around her nipple, sucking it slowly, making sure I made her crave more.Excitement surged through my body. She’d accepted my proposal. She’d chosen me, and every flicker of the doubt I’d had immediately vanished.“Axel…” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “Take off my dress.”Without hesitation, I placed her gently on the bed and she arched her back, aiding me to take off the silk gown that was hanging around her waist.My body hovered above her, and she w

    OLIVIA“You’d better eat before you starve.”Like anyone really cared. The guard muttered to me, pushing a tray of food towards me with a long stick they’d constantly used to hit me.I didn’t even take a look at it. One glance and I knew I’d puke into the disgusting food.I was tired. Weak. Worst

    OLIVIA“Thanks for saving me,” I muttered, raking my fingers through my hair nervously, my voice cracking as I tried to sound casual. “I’m grateful.”He nodded, sauntering towards me with a glass cup in his hands. I sat on his bed— it was the only thing in his little room.No chairs. Nothing fancy
