MARRIED TO THE MAFIA KING WOUNDS AND PROMISES
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR:The van bounced hard over the mountain road, every jolt pulling a groan from Dimitri. Lyra kept pressure on the wound in his side, her hands slick with blood. June and Theo huddled against her, small bodies trembling.“Stay awake,” Lyra said, voice shaking. “You hear me? You don’t get to pass out on us now.”Dimitri’s head lolled against the seat, but his eyes fluttered open. A weak smile tugged at his mouth. “Bossy as always. Kids… okay?”“They’re here,” she answered. “Scared, but okay. Thanks to you.”Theo leaned forward. “You got shot because of us?”“Worth it,” Dimitri muttered. “Family now. All of you.”June sniffled. “I want to go home. The real home. With pancakes.”Lyra’s heart twisted. “Soon, baby. I promise. First we fix Dimitri up.”Viktor drove like a man possessed, knuckles white on the wheel. “Safehold’s compromised but we’ve got a fallback cabin two miles out. Smaller. Defensible. Elena’s already rerouting there with supplies.”The fallback cabin wa

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE:The tires screamed as Dimitri slammed the brakes outside the safehold. Smoke hung low in the mountain air, mixing with the smell of gunpowder and pine. Lyra was out of the van before it stopped moving, legs burning as she sprinted toward the shattered front doors.“June! Theo!” Her voice tore raw from her throat. “Where are you?”No answer. Just the wind howling through broken glass.Dimitri caught up, gun drawn, face like stone. “Viktor, sweep the perimeter. Lyra, stay behind me, damn it.”“I’m not staying behind anything,” she snapped, shoving past him into the dark entryway. “My brother and sister are in here somewhere. Elena!”A groan came from the kitchen. Elena lay against the cabinets, blood streaking her face, one eye swelling shut. She clutched a pistol with shaking hands.“They came fast,” Elena rasped as Lyra dropped to her knees beside her. “Ten, maybe twelve guys. I got two before they… before they took the kids. I’m sorry. God, I’m so sorry.”Dimitr
MARRIED TO THE MAFIA KING DockS AT MIDNIGHT
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO:Morning light cut sharp across the mountain safehold. Lyra stood at the kitchen counter pouring cereal for June and Theo, her hands steadier than she felt. The threatening call from last night still echoed in her head.“More milk?” she asked June, forcing a smile.June nodded, kicking her feet under the table. “Is Dimitri okay? He looked hurt yesterday.”“He’s tough,” Lyra said. “We all are.”Theo spooned cereal quietly, then looked up. “That man on the phone last night… he sounded mean. Are we gonna have to run again?”Dimitri walked in before Lyra could answer, freshly bandaged shoulder hidden under a dark shirt. “No more running, kid. Today we push back.” He ruffled Theo’s hair and dropped a kiss on Lyra’s temple. “Morning.”“Morning,” she murmured. “Kids, finish eating. Viktor’s taking you to the game room for a bit.”Once they were gone, Lyra turned to Dimitri. “Mace called my phone. He knows about the kids. We can’t wait until tonight.”“We have to,” he said,
MARRIED TO THE MAFIA KING ECHOES IN THE STONE
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE:The mountain safehold rose out of the mist like it had been waiting for them all along. Dimitri killed the engine and sat there a second, hands still gripping the wheel. Blood had dried on his shirt. Lyra reached over and touched his arm.“You look like hell,” she said quietly.He gave a short laugh that sounded more like a cough. “Feel like it too. But we’re here. That’s what matters.”Viktor helped Elena out of the back. She winced with every step, clutching her leg. “If I bleed out on your fancy mountain floor, Voss, I’m haunting you.”“You’ll live,” Dimitri muttered, sliding an arm around Lyra as they headed inside. The place smelled of pine and stone, exactly like the photograph. Dim lights clicked on automatically. “Med kit’s in the main room. Patch yourselves up. I’ll call for the kids.”Lyra stopped him. “Wait. You first. That shoulder’s still bleeding.”“I’m fine.”“You’re not.” She pushed him toward a heavy wooden table. “Sit. Now.”He sat with a grunt. L
MARRIED TO THE MAFIA KING BULLETS AND BETRAYALS
CHAPTER TWENTY:“Send out the girl and the journalist, Voss, or we turn this mill into your tomb!” Mace’s enforcer’s voice boomed through the megaphone, cold and mocking. Bullets chewed into the rusted machinery around them.Dimitri fired back twice, precise shots that elicited a scream outside. “Over my dead body, you bastard!” He reloaded with lightning speed, eyes blazing. “Lyra, stay low. Elena, if you have any other tricks, now’s the time.”Lyra crouched behind the heavy metal press, the unlocked burner phone burning in her grip. “The files are open—Anna’s folder, the ledger fragments. We can’t let them get this!” Her voice cracked with adrenaline. “Dimitri, your sister’s proof is here. Mace ordered the hit to keep you in line. My father knew it all.”Elena pressed a hand to her bleeding arm, face pale. “He’s right about one thing—we’re trapped. But the phone has a distress beacon. I can activate it, send the data to my secure server. It’ll buy us time if we survive the next five

CHAPTER NINETEEN:A sharp crack split the night—glass shattering somewhere in the distance. Lyra bolted upright in the unfamiliar bed, heart slamming against her ribs. Beside her, Dimitri was already moving, gun in hand before his eyes fully opened. “Stay here,” he ordered, voice like gravel.“Like hell.” She grabbed a robe and followed him into the hallway, bare feet silent on the cool wood. The lake house, which had felt like sanctuary hours ago, now pulsed with danger. June and Theo’s room was two doors down. She veered toward it instinctively.Dimitri caught her arm, grip iron-hard. “Lyra, damn it—”“They’re my blood!” she hissed, wrenching free. “You don’t get to lock me in a tower while your war comes for them.”Another sound—low voices, urgent, from the lower level. Dimitri cursed under his breath and pressed forward, keeping her behind him as they descended the stairs. Viktor met them at the bottom, face grim under the emergency lights.“Perimeter sensor tripped on the east ri
