LOGINThe naked woman was still performing, trying to catch Luca’s attention while his eyes were on me, and a faint, almost entertained smile curved his lips—like my suffering was something he enjoyed watching unfold.When the naked woman stepped between me and him, a single, effortless shot shattered the moment andshe collapsed to the floor, screaming.Guards rushed in immediately and dragged her out of the VIP room. The second girl followed behind them, trembling so violently she could barely walk.This scene scared me to the core. Not because he shot her, but because he was still smiling and glaring at me while he did it.This told me how much he despised and resented me at this moment.That was worse than anger.That was hatred held under perfect control.This coldness…I had never seen this side of Luca.Think, Mila. Think… think… think.There must be a way out.I was wrapping my two hands over my belly.He would never harm my baby. Not the Luca I knew, at least. …Right?Or… was I ly
MilaI sensed something was off. No matter how much I asked the driver and the guards in the car where we were going, no one cared to reply, as if they were mute.I held Angelo closer to me.“We’re taking you and the young Master to a safe place, as we were ordered, Ms. Rossetti,” the guard sitting in front of us said.Young Master?!“Who ordered you?” I asked, my voice sharp.He didn’t respond. Before I could ask again, the car pulled up in front of a huge building I had never seen before.“Ms. Rossetti, please come,” a woman said in a respectful tone as she opened the car door.I shook my head, pulled Angelo closer, and placed my hand protectively over my lower abdomen.She smiled at Angelo and said, “Hello, Angelo.”“Who are you?” I asked.Her expression turned more serious.“Ma’am, I’m not allowed to say anything right now. Please come with us.”When I looked around, I knew I had no way out. I knew better than to stand alone against all these armed people.I held Angelo’s hand and
LucaA dark thought passed through my head as I watched Levi tied to a chair. His shirt was soaked with blood.Why didn't I snap his skull yet? I should have done that months ago.Because you're a coward, the voice in my head mocked me. You know how ugly and monstrous she will see you if you kill her favorite man.Favorite man.The words stung deep in my heart.Give me a break! You still care about her after what she has done to you? She broke the legend of the untouchable Il Cativo. Il Don, whose enemies die from a single glare. Do your men still really respect you after their boss was tied to a bed by a woman so she could escape him?I let out a huge cloud of smoke, still looking through the partition glass between where I was standing and the room where Levi was tied."Boss," one of my men said as he entered the room. "Mission accomplished. The house has been completely leveled to the ground, and Ms. Russetti and the young master are completely safe."I handed him my cigarette and
MilaI saw him and froze.He was here. Luca.The moment I saw the title Il Cativo on the sky I realized he already had his move.He went through my high security team and …The look in his eyes terrified me to the core.Then, one single move of his fingers and things exploded.Screams and cries echoed in the place, while a huge smoke cloud rose to the sky.“Two cars exploded," someone shouted.“Look! There’s another explosion on the upper floor,” I heard another one shout.That was my room. Everything I had brought with me...Every memory...Everything burned with it.People started crowding on the exit gate of the front yard.“Levi!” I shouted, holding Angelo’s hand into mine tightly.Levi was nowhere to be seen. I started walking toward the exit. It seemed he went to save his mother.Just as I tried to walk forward, another explosion shook the ground, panic swallowed the garden.People screamed more loudly, chairs overturned, and guests ran in every direction like if it was the d
LucaThe corners of my lips twisted when the spy I put in Marceau's villa informed me that Mila and Levi had decided on the engagement party date."If you want, sir… we could…" he stammered."No!" I cut him off and hung up.I knew exactly what he was about to suggest. Killing Levi.That would be easy. If I wanted to do that, I would have done it the moment I met him.But no…She was thinking that hiring security guards from the dark web would protect her. Let her think that.I swallowed the contents of my glass and said to my brothers in a casual tone, "You are about to get an engagement invitation."They exchanged glances. They didn't need to ask what I was saying, they already understood.Marco coughed, then said, "Should we stop it?"I placed my glass on the table and simply said, "No need."I could see the curiosity on their faces.Ricardo cleared his throat as he got on his feet and filled my glass. "You know we can force her to come home.""Why?" I asked calmly.He sniffed, "Bro
My hand trembled violently and a few drops of water spilled from my glass and splashed onto my lap as my heart skipped a beat.I stared at the message then read it again and again.Luca.It was him.I didn’t need to see his name on the caller ID to know it was him.For a long moment, I could only sit there in silence, my eyes fixed on the glowing screen.I shewed down my lips and thought, ‘How did he know about the engagement?’‘The announcement hadn't even been made publicly yet.’A cold sensation crawled down my spine. He was closer than I thought. Much closer. Dangerously closer.The fear I had been trying to suppress for days suddenly surged to the surface like a thunder in my chest.I let out a trembling sigh. That silence...God, that silence had been terrifying.I had almost convinced myself that maybe he was busy. Maybe he was distracted. Maybe he had finally accepted that I was not worth his time and attention and…Who was I fooling?This was Luca. Il Don. Cattivo.Luca Hayde
“Oh, God. Mila. Are you okay?” Mama asked, her eyes wide with horror and her voice filled with concern as I stepped into the mansion, Marco wrapping a blanket around me and pulling me into his chest.She looked me up and down, her eyes softening with tenderness. Everyone in the room fell silent. Pa
I stumbled a few steps back after seeing Luca break a man’s neck. He looked at me with a deadly stare. Was I a witness to something I shouldn't have seen? Will I be eliminated?I had lived in Mafia society since my early age, and I knew well that there were some things we shouldn’t see or hear. For
I put Angelo down on his feet. Bent down to his level, kissed his forehead and combed his hair with my fingers, then said with a warm smile, “Stay here, honey. I’ll be back soon to go home. Okay?”“Are these bad guys?” he asked with fear in his eyes.I stared back at my foster brothers. Then back t
Luca's eyes devoured my face as he growled, “If it weren’t for my father’s dying wish to see you, you wouldn’t see me here today, you whore.”Without thinking, I spat in his face as a single traitorous tear escaped my eye.The moment I did this, my heart sank as his grip tightened on my hair.
