MARRIED TO THE MAFIA KING THE ENVELOPE
CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX: The knock came at eleven at night, three sharp raps that had no business sounding as ordinary as they did.Dimitri was already moving before Lyra fully registered it, years of instinct never quite as buried as he liked to pretend. He crossed to the door in three strides, gun drawn from the drawer by habit alone, and checked the peephole before easing it open.A courier stood on the porch, young, nervous, holding a plain manila envelope like it might bite him."Voss residence?" His voice cracked slightly. "I was told to deliver this directly. No signature required. The client was very specific.""What client?" Dimitri's tone had gone flat, the warmth of the evening draining out of it in an instant."I don't know, sir. Paid in cash. Said it had to be tonight." The courier didn't wait for a response — he was already backing off the porch, down the steps, into a car idling at the curb with its headlights off.Dimitri shut the door slowly and turned the envelope over i
MARRIED TO THE MAFIA KING THE QUIET VICTORY
CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE:Baby Anna’s soft coos filled the nursery as Lyra rocked her gently in the early morning light. Three months had passed since that chaotic, terrifying, perfect day in the hospital, and every sunrise still felt like a gift they’d fought tooth and nail to earn.Dimitri slipped into the room, hair still tousled from sleep, and wrapped his arms around them both from behind. “You should be resting,” he murmured against her neck, voice warm and rough. “She had you up three times last night.”“I don’t mind,” Lyra whispered, leaning back into him. “After everything… These quiet moments feel like miracles. Look at her. She’s smiling.”Anna waved tiny fists, her dark eyes—so much like Dimitri’s—lighting up at the sound of her father’s voice. Dimitri reached around and let her grab his finger. “Hey, little fighter. Are you keeping Mom up again?”Lyra smiled, tears pricking her eyes like they did most mornings lately. “She’s perfect. They all are. I keep waiting for the other
MARRIED TO THE MAFIA KING STORM BEFORE THE LIGHT
CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR:“Push, Lyra! You’re almost there!”The doctor’s voice cut through the chaos of the delivery room, but all Lyra could hear was the thunder of her own heartbeat and Dimitri’s desperate grip on her hand. Pain ripped through her like fire. She screamed, bearing down with everything she had left.“I can’t,” she gasped, sweat pouring down her face, tears mixing with it. “It hurts too much. The baby—”“You can,” Dimitri growled, voice raw and fierce right beside her ear. His hand was shaking but his eyes never left hers. “You hear me? You fought mafia kings. You survived bullets and blood and hell itself. This baby is coming into a world we made safe. Push, love. I’m right here. I’ve got you.”Lyra let out another guttural cry, pushing through the agony. Monitors beeped wildly. A nurse shouted something about the baby’s heart rate dropping.Dimitri’s face went pale. “What’s happening? Tell me what’s happening!”The doctor didn’t look up. “Cord’s under pressure. One more

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE:“Lyra, you’re bleeding.”Dimitri’s voice cut through the quiet nursery like a gunshot. He stood frozen in the doorway, eyes locked on the small red stain on her maternity pants, face drained of all color.Lyra’s hand flew to her stomach, heart slamming against her ribs. “No. Not now. The baby—” Her voice cracked as sharp pain lanced through her abdomen. She doubled over, gripping the crib rail. “Dimitri, something’s wrong. Call the doctor. Please.”He was across the room in two strides, scooping her up despite her protests. “Stay with me. Breathe. Just breathe, love.” His voice shook with barely contained terror as he carried her downstairs, phone already to his ear. “This is Dimitri Voss. My wife is pregnant, thirty weeks, she’s bleeding and in pain. We’re leaving now. Meet us at the hospital.”The car ride was a blur of red lights and Dimitri’s white-knuckled grip on the wheel. Lyra clutched her belly, tears streaming down her face. “I can’t lose this baby. Not
MARRIED TO THE MAFIA KING THE WEIGHT OF FOREVER
CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO:“You’re pregnant.”Dimitri’s voice cracked in the small bathroom as he stared at the two pink lines on the test, his hand trembling where it gripped the counter. Lyra stood frozen beside him, heart hammering so loud she could barely hear anything else.“I’m pregnant,” she whispered, the words barely making it past the lump in her throat. Tears flooded her eyes instantly. “We’re having a baby.”He spun toward her, pulling her into his arms so fiercely she lost her breath. “Lyra… God, Lyra.” His voice broke completely, raw and thick with everything he’d held back for years. “After everything we went through. After I almost lost you twice. We’re… we’re going to have another child.”She buried her face in his chest, sobs shaking her whole body. “I was scared to hope. After the restaurant opened and the kids started feeling safe… I didn’t want to jinx it. But here we are. Another little life in all this mess we turned into something beautiful.”Dimitri cupped her face w
MARRIED TO THE MAFIA KING ECHOES AND PROMISES
CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE:The restaurant buzzed with the Friday night crowd, plates clattering and laughter rolling from table to table. Lyra wiped her hands on her apron and stepped out of the kitchen just in time to see June balancing a tray of breadsticks with fierce concentration.“Careful, baby,” Lyra called softly. “You’ve got this.”June made it to the table without dropping anything and beamed when the customers clapped. Lyra’s heart swelled so big it hurt.Dimitri appeared behind her, arms sliding around her waist. “She’s a natural. Just like her mom.”Lyra leaned back into him. “And Theo’s already talking about expanding the menu. Kid’s have big ideas.”“Like his dad,” Dimitri murmured, pressing a kiss to her neck. “Speaking of which… we need to talk. Back office. Five minutes.”The tone in his voice made her stomach tighten. She followed him through the busy kitchen into the small office at the back. He closed the door and turned to her, face serious.“Elena called,” he said with
