Phillipe Quinn stood by his office window, swirling the glass of whiskey in his hand.

The weight of seeing Ellaine after all these years hung heavily on him. He hadn’t expected it, certainly not in the chaotic setting of a public hospital.

Ellaine… She looks well…

The years of separation, filled with silence and unanswered questions, flooded his thoughts. He wasn’t sure what to make of it, but one thing was clear—Ellaine hadn’t been alone.

The memory of the man who accompanied her flashed in

  • Loved by the Mafia Boss   Chapter 68

    -The Monster Benjamin Created (Dwyne’s Point of View)-When I woke up again, I immediately knew something was wrong, not because of the room or because of the silence but because my body no longer felt like it belonged to me.My eyelids felt heavy as I forced them open slowly, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling above me while my breathing remained uneven.The drugs again… Yes, I could feel it immediately from how the weakness spreads through my muscles, dull and suffocating, making even the smallest movement feel exhausting.I hated it.God, I hated it so much.I turned my head slightly and noticed the curtains were open this time, allowing dim evening light to slip inside the room.So much time had passed already and I was still here.My jaw tightened.No… I could not let myself think like that.I needed to stay calm, to think and to survive long enough for Bradley to find me, because I knew him. And I knew there was no world where he would stop looking for me, never.The thought alon

    I did not go home after that.I did not even slow down.The car was already waiting at the lobby, engine running, door open before I even reached it. The moment I stepped inside, the door shut behind me, and we were already moving.Fast, silent and efficient.“Take me to the house,” I said.My voice was calm and no one questioned it because they understood the situation is urgent and have no time to joke around.The mansion came into view within minutes, the gates already open, guards standing at full alert the moment my car approached. The atmosphere was different from usual; it was tighter and heavier.There was no routin

    (**Go to Bradley Point of View**)The cooperation agreement for the acquisition and testing of new weapons required my direct presence, which was the only reason I allowed myself to leave her, even for a short time.It was a remote town in Africa, far from everything familiar, far from her.From the very beginning, something about it did not sit right with me; it was not fear or doubt but a quiet, persistent unease that settled beneath my skin and refused to disappear, no matter how much I tried to focus on the work in front of me.I had left her protected and guarded, surrounded by men who understood exactly what she meant to me.And yet—The distance still felt wrong.The call came when I was in the middle of reviewing the final details of the agreement.My phone vibrated once then again, it was insistent like something urgent.I answered without looking at the number. “Speak.”There was no greeting on the other end; only the kind of silence that carried something already broken.“Mi

    Consciousness did not return all at once.It came slowly, like something pulling me upward through thick, suffocating darkness, dragging me back into a body that did not feel like mine.The first thing I noticed was the heavy weight as if every part of me had been drained of strength and replaced with something dull and unresponsive.My fingers twitched slightly or at least I thought they did before my eyes barely opened. Light filtered into my vision in fragments, blurred and unfocused, forcing me to blink several times before the shapes around me began to settle into something recognizable.I inhaled slowly, even that felt wrong; it was too heavy and too controlled.Memory hit me all at once; the car, the struggle and the syringe. Benjamin.My breath hitched and instinctively, I tried to move but I couldn't, nothing happened. A sharp wave of panic surged through me as I forced my body to respond, to react, to do something—Anything.But my limbs refused because I felt so weak and unr

  • Loved by the Mafia Boss   Chapter 64

    The car did not stop for a long time.Or maybe it did, and I simply lost track of it.Time blurred into something meaningless, stretched thin between the steady hum of the engine and the suffocating silence that filled the space between us.Benjamin did not speak again after that.He only watched me as if I were something he had finally reclaimed and I refused to give him anything; no fear, no reaction and no satisfaction. Even as my mind raced, calculating every possibility, every movement, every chance I might have to turn this around—I kept my expression calm, my posture steady.Because if there was one thing I had learned that it was men like him thrived on control and I would not give it to him.When the car finally stopped, the door opened immediately.“Out,” one of the men said.I did not move, not right away.I looked at Benjamin instead. “Where are you taking me?”He tilted his head slightly, as if the question amused him.“Home,” he said.This man…My jaw tightened. “This is

    By the time Benjamin left the café, the tension he brought with him lingered long after the door closed behind him but I refused to let it ruin the rest of my day.Maya, on the other hand, was still visibly irritated.“I seriously cannot stand him,” she muttered, grabbing her bag. “He talks like the world belongs to him.”I let out a small breath, finishing my drink before standing.“That is because he believes it does,” I replied calmly.She rolled her eyes. “Well, I do not care what he believes. You handled that perfectly.”A faint smile touched my lips.Maybe or maybe I was just tired of running.We stepped out of the café together, the air outside cooler, calmer—almost normal compared to what had just happened inside.“Let’s go somewhere else,” Maya said suddenly, linking her arm with mine. “I am not ending the day like this. Vernon is at the pub, we can meet him there.”I nodded lightly. “That sounds good.”Because I needed something else; something that did not involve tension,

    "Take care of things here," Bradley said to Marco who nodded his head before he put away his gun and put it back in his trouser pocket as if it was just a wallet instead of a weapon. O God, how can he be that calm! I thought in surprise and gasped in shock as he hoisted me again as if I were a sack

    My eyes widened when we stopped in front of the place. “Olio e Piu? Don't we have to make a reservation first? It's not a restaurant you can just walk into like that, Brad." Was my comment still in shock. I stared dumbfounded at the expensive restaurant and refused to get out of the car. With my clo

    There are different kind of people in this world, the ones that can look like a model without putting in much effort, secondly the one that requires heavy make-up to look flawless and lastly the one that looks like someone who has been beaten up and then thrown out and hit by a bus so that whatever

    I took a long nap the moment my bed hit me. It was 3PM when I woke up and decided to order Chinese food since I’m too lazy to cook anything. If I could actually, you know how bad I am with cooking. While waiting, I decided to take a bath and I sat in the tub for a long time until I figured if my ski
