"You're so shit at this!," Lucas yelled out as I got killed yet again. They came back from wherever the hell they went.

Apparently, Lucas and Dorian went on a mission.

Clearly, I've only just found out. I was glad that they're back. It means I have someone other than Sebastian to talk to. I would talk to Richard but he takes his work too seriously and doesn't talk. Elisa's always busy coming up with new recipes and cooking is something I'm not interested in.

  • THE MAFIA QUEEN   CHAPTER 62: THE FIRST SHOT

    Sebastian’s PoVThe moment my boots crossed the edge of the forest, every instinct inside me sharpened.No turning back.Lucas moved beside me, his pistol fitted with a suppressor already drawn. We stayed low, using the hedges and stone statues surrounding the estate as cover.The mansion stood before us like a fortress.Three floors….Stone walls….Iron balconies.Security cameras sweeping across every corner.Somewhere inside…Daphne was waiting.I could feel it.Lucas crouched behind a hedge and peered through a small pair of binoculars.“Two guards at the service entrance,” he whispered.I followed his gaze.Both men were armed.One lazily smoking a cigarette while the other scrolled through his phone.“They’re distracted.”Lucas looked at me.“Your call.”I took a slow breath.“We do this quietly.”He nodded once.Without another word, we split up.I circled to the right while Lucas slipped left, disappearing into the shadows.Five steps.Four…..Three….Two….One.I lunged.My arm loc

  • THE MAFIA QUEEN   CHAPTER 61: THE RESCUE BEGINS

    Sebastian’s PoVI didn’t sleep.Not even for a second.The image of that curtain moving replayed over and over inside my head.Someone had been there.Watching….Waiting…..Praying.“Daphne…”The name left my lips like a promise.Lucas stepped out of the surveillance van just before sunrise, carrying two cups of coffee.“You’ve been staring at that house for six hours.”“I know.”“You should rest.”“I’ll rest after I get my wife back.”He sighed.“I figured you’d say that.”I accepted the coffee but never drank it.Every minute that passed felt stolen.Tomorrow…Whoever was inside that mansion had whispered the same word through that tiny movement of the curtain.Tomorrow.Something was happening tomorrow.And whatever it was…We were already running out of time.Lucas spread a map across the hood of the SUV.“I drove around the property before dawn.”I finally looked away from the mansion.“What did you find?”“Eight guards.”“Only eight?”“Visible guards.”I nodded.“There’ll be more.”

  • THE MAFIA QUEEN   CHAPTER 60: THE RING OF LIES

    Daphne’s PoVThe diamond sparkled beneath the bedroom light.It was beautiful….Cold….Lifeless.Exactly like the man kneeling in front of me.“I’ll give you a moment,” Stephan said softly.His smile never faltered.“I know this is unexpected.”Unexpected?My entire body wanted to scream.Instead, I forced myself to breathe.The woman behind the wall had been right.Tomorrow…Everything happened tomorrow.If I refused…Would he force me?If I accepted…Would it buy me time?The answer came almost immediately.Time.I needed time….More than pride….More than anger….More than anything.I slowly looked from the ring to Stephan.“…If I say no?”His smile stayed exactly the same.Only his eyes changed.They became empty…..Dangerously empty.“I’d be disappointed.”The words were gentle….The meaning wasn’t.“And if I still refuse?”He stood.Slowly.Closing the velvet box.“You won’t.”“I asked what would happen.”He walked closer.Close enough for me to smell his expensive cologne.His fingers bru

    Daphne’s PoVI read the note again…..And again….And again.Don’t trust Stephan.We’re watching. Wait for my signal.My fingers trembled so violently that the paper nearly slipped from my hand.Someone had left this.Someone had somehow entered my room without Stephan noticing.Or…Had they distracted him?The knock.The man downstairs.Had that been planned?I hurried to the broken breakfast tray and looked around for anything else.Nothing.No second note.No clue.Just shattered porcelain and syrup dripping slowly down the wall.I folded the note into the sleeve of my hospital sweater just as footsteps echoed outside.Someone was standing by my door.I held my breath.The handle rattled once.Then silence.Whoever it was… walked away.I didn’t move for another minute.My pulse was still racing.Someone was here.Someone knew I existed.And someone wanted Stephan to fail.Hours crawled by.The afternoon sunlight shifted across the bedroom floor.No one came….No food….No Stephan….Nothing.

  • THE MAFIA QUEEN   CHAPTER 58: A LIE TO SURVIVE

    Daphne’s PoVI didn’t sleep.Not even for a second.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Sebastian.Then I saw the crash.Then Stephan’s face.Then one word echoed over and over again.Pregnant.I sat curled up in the corner of the room, my knees pulled tightly against my chest.If he was lying…Then good.If he wasn’t…I instinctively rested a hand against my stomach.“I’ll get you out,” I whispered so quietly I barely heard myself. “I don’t know how… but I will.”A knock sounded outside.Three slow knocks.Then the door unlocked.Stephan stepped inside carrying a breakfast tray.Pancakes.Fruit.Orange juice.He smiled as though yesterday hadn’t happened.“As long as you’re carrying my family, you need to eat.”I nearly laughed.“My family?” I asked.“Our family.”“It’s Sebastian’s child.”His jaw clenched.“I said eat.”“I’m not hungry.”“You are.”“No.”His smile slowly disappeared.“You’ll hurt the baby.”“Then let me leave.”“No.”“Then stop pretending you care.”His eyes darkened

  • THE MAFIA QUEEN   CHAPTER 57:TRAPPED

    Daphne’s PoVJust over a month laterIt's been just over a month since the crash and I'm still being kept hostage by Stephan . I'm still in the hospital but everyday he comes by and stays for an hour or two before leaving."She's not ready yet," I heard Stephan say loudly from outside my door. Clearly, he was on the phone to someone. He stayed silent for a while as the other person spoke. "I'll let you know when she's ready. And when I tell you that the plan needs to start. We'll be on the first flight out once the date has been set.He stayed silent before cutting the call. He's clearly talking about me but what plan is he talking about? Where even am I? Why do we need to get on a damn plane to get there?Without a word, he pushed the door open and entered. He came towards the bed and quickly leaned down to give me a peck. With my fast reflexes, I managed to dodge his lips just in time."What was that?," he asked, sounding offended."Stephan, we are family. I've told you that countl

    "No!," I yelled out in a fit of laughter. "Please!Sebastian! I'll do anything you ask!""Anything?," he asked, glancing down at me with a mischievous glint in his eyes. A smirk grew on his face as ideas formed in that head of his.I paused as I thought it over for a minute, finally being able to

    I ducked right as the explosion went off. This was supposed to be quiet and easy like our normal missions. This wasn't a normal one. I knew it and Sebastian knew it too. This was loud and out there for everyone to know about.A random guy on our team handed me a gun as mine ran out of bullets."I t

    "What the fuck are you doing?," I askedSebastian annoyed. I have stayed at my mom’s house for the last week and everyday since he's been coming over and calling me. "You're not coming in.""Why not?," he challenged."Because you wanted me to leave and I did.Now, I want you to leave." I tried clo

    We arrived at a small clearing in the middle of nowhere. It was clear that we were far from the city. We got out of the car and slowly walked towards the edge. It was a cliff. Boulders were scattered around. By now, night had fallen and all the lights from the city below us guided us.Beautiful fir
