Daphne’s PoV

I 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.

  • 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

  • THE MAFIA QUEEN   CHAPTER 59: THE GHOST IN THE HOUSE

    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 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

  • THE MAFIA QUEEN   CHAPTER 56:WITHOUT HER

    Daphne’s POVMy head throbbed. I slowly opened my eyes before closing them again. The sunlight burning them harshly. The smell of disinfectant made it almost hard to breathe. The beeping noise next to my head gave me a headache as it seemed to get louder and louder. Finally, I managed to open my eyes. I glanced around the room.An IV was in my arm as I was hooked up to something. Wires upon wires came out of my nightgown connecting to a machine. I was in an empty hospital room. Before I even moved, the door pushed open and a doctor walked in.He checked my heartbeat and all the other random stuff they do before giving me a cup of water and leaving. Just as he left another person entered. I drank the whole cup of water like it was a shot before slamming it down. I licked my cracked lips, feeling the need for some chapstick.My eyes widened in shock. "You miss me?,"Stephan asked with a smile on his face. He was acting like everything was normal."Where've you been this whole time?," I

    "Twins?," I questioned. She nodded her head."I told my parents," she said. "They were pissed.I mean, who wouldn't be? I'm 18 and I'm pregnant.""But they're okay now, right?""Yeah. I guess they have to be now. Because of the whole Stephan thing, they think I might end up being a target so they're sending me to Italy.That way I'll be kept out of harms way. I just need to tell Lucas before I go.""That's good. You'll be safe there.""Should I call him now? I'd rather not meet up with him. I'd probably end up crying." I shrugged my shoulders, telling her it's up to her."If you want to." She grabbed her phone and put it on loud speaker wanting me to hear it. It rang for a couple of seconds before he answered it."Rose ," he breathed out through the phone. "I've been waiting for your call.""Lucas , listen, I went to the doctor and I'm four months pregnant," she said, cutting to the chase."Four?, "he questioned. "So you're keeping it?""Yeah, don't sound too excited about it," she

    "What the fuck were you playing at?," Sebastian yelled as he threw my bedroom door open, not caring that I was naked. May I remind you that I am butt naked. It is night. I didn't think anyone would come into my room. I let out a small yelp as I threw a blanket over myself."I could say the same th

    "Where's my breakfast then?," I ask with a small smile playing on my lips. "Come on, a deal is a deal." Sebastian mumbled something with annoyance under his breath as he began to get to work making my breakfast."Morning," a voice says making me look toward where it's coming from. I turned my head

    Tonight is special. For one reason mostly but many other tiny ones."I don't want to get too drunk!," I yelled over the deafening music. Rose narrowed her eyes at me as she dragged me to the bar and ordered us both a drink. We downed it in one go before she headed back to the dance floor leavin

    Four Months Later"Lets go out," I proposed. Sebastian raised an eyebrow as he glanced up at me from the mountains of paperwork littering his desk."Tonight. With Rose, Stephan, Dorian andLucas""What's so special about tonight?," he asked curiously as he put his pen down and stared at me intently
