The penthouse felt different tonight. Warmer. Safer. Ivan’s laughter still echoed in my ears as we stepped through the private elevator doors, Betty’s hand tucked in his. The relief of finding him safe had lifted a massive weight from all of us, but I could already sense the shift in Dante. His body was relaxed with family, yet his mind was clearly pulling back toward the war we had temporarily stepped away from.

Ivan stretched dramatically as we entered the living room. “I still can’t believe

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   SUNLIT PLANS

    The afternoon sun bathed the seaside safe house in a gentle golden light. After several hours of much needed rest, we all gathered on the wide terrace overlooking the ocean. The table had been set simply with light dishes, fresh salads, grilled fish, roasted vegetables, and warm bread. The sea breeze carried the salty tang of the waves, mixing with the aroma of the food. It was a rare moment of calm in the middle of the storm.I sat beside Dante, my hand resting on my belly as the baby gave a few strong kicks. Maxim sat across from us, looking more relaxed than he had in days. Ivan and Betty were next to each other, their hands intertwined under the table. The atmosphere felt almost normal, filled with soft chatter and occasional laughter.Ivan took a bite of his fish and grinned. “This is the first proper meal I have had since the whole kidnapping drama. I still cannot believe you sent men to hood me like a common criminal, brother.”Dante smirked, cutting into his own plate. “Better

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   FAKE ABDUCTION

    The seaside safe house hummed with quiet activity. Security teams moved like ghosts along the perimeter, reinforcing positions and setting up new surveillance points. I stood on the wide terrace overlooking the dark sea, the salt air cool against my skin. My hand rested on my belly, feeling the steady kicks of our baby. The earlier car chase had left me shaken, but the adrenaline had settled into a quiet determination. We were safe here for now, but safety was temporary in our world.Dante stood a few feet away, phone pressed to his ear, speaking in low, commanding tones to Liam. I listened carefully, my mind already turning over every detail.He ended the call and came to stand beside me, pulling me gently against his chest. “They will be here before dawn. Safe.”I nodded, leaning into him. “It is necessary. Krasnov is watching everything. If they know your family is with you, they become targets.”********The logistics had been planned with military precision. Liam had chosen teams

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   GENDER REVEAL

    The private hospital wing was quiet and luxurious, the kind of place where money bought silence and safety. I sat on the examination bed with Dante standing protectively beside me, his hand never leaving my shoulder. The doctor, a calm and experienced woman named Dr. Elena Petrova, moved the ultrasound wand gently over my rounded belly. The screen showed our baby clearly, strong and growing fast. Every kick I felt made my heart swell with love and fierce protectiveness.“Everything looks excellent,” Dr. Petrova said with a warm smile. “The baby is developing perfectly. Your baby’s heart rate is strong. Would you like to know the gender today?”I looked up at Dante. His dark eyes met mine, full of patience and love. He squeezed my shoulder gently, leaving the decision entirely to me.I shook my head with a soft smile. “No. Not yet. I want it to be a surprise. I’m thinking of planning a small gender reveal party for just the family. I will find a baker and have you send the result direct

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   FLAMES OF ST. PETERSBURG

    The morning light filtered gently through the penthouse windows as I stirred in Dante’s arms. His body was warm and solid behind me, one large hand resting protectively over my belly. The night before had been intense and beautiful, filled with love, passion, and whispered promises that still echoed in my mind. I turned slowly to face him, tracing my fingers along the strong line of his jaw. Even in sleep, he looked powerful, dangerous, and completely mine.Dante’s eyes opened, dark and intense, softening the moment they met mine. He pulled me closer, pressing a slow kiss to my lips.“Good morning, my queen,” he murmured, voice rough with sleep.I smiled, nuzzling into his chest. “Good morning.”For a few precious minutes, the world outside ceased to exist. There was only us, our growing baby, and the quiet peace we had carved out. But peace in our world was always temporary.Dante’s phone vibrated on the nightstand. He reached for it, his body tensing as he read the message. I knew t

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   YOU ARE MINE

    Later that evening, after a quiet dinner, we moved to the bedroom. Dante’s hand never left mine as he led me down the hallway toward our bedroom. The penthouse was quiet now, Ivan and Betty gone, leaving only the two of us wrapped in the soft glow of the city lights filtering through the windows. My heart beats faster with every step. After the emotional weight of the day, the tension with Elias, the looming threat of the Krasnov family I needed this. I needed him. Needed us.He pushed the bedroom door open gently and pulled me inside, closing it behind us with a soft click. The moment we were alone, Dante turned to me, his dark eyes burning with a mixture of love and raw hunger. He cupped my face with both hands, thumbs brushing my cheeks as if I were something precious and fragile.“You are mine,” he whispered, voice deep and rough. “Every part of you.”I shivered at the possessiveness in his tone. “I am yours, Dante. Always.”He kissed me slowly at first, savoring every second. Hi

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   GHOST FROM THE PAST

    I nodded and spent the next several minutes telling her the full story. How we met in high school, how deeply I had cared for him, how he disappeared without explanation, and how running into him at the hotel had stirred up old feelings of confusion and pain. Betty listened attentively, occasionally nodding.When I finished, she leaned back. “There is something off about him. I cannot quite place it, but his energy feels… intense. Like he is not fully over you.”I sighed. “I agree. I felt it too.”The rest of our brunch continued more lightly. We talked about fashion, travel dreams, and even swapped funny stories about Ivan. By the time we left for shopping, the encounter with Elias felt like a distant cloud. We wandered through elegant boutiques, trying on dresses and laughing at ridiculous outfits. Betty bought a beautiful scarf, and I found a soft cashmere sweater that would grow with my pregnancy.As we walked back toward the car later that afternoon, arm in arm, I felt grateful f

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   ANTHON VOLKOV

    I moved to the table and sat down, the cool surface of the laptop grounding me as my fingers brushed the keyboard. The screen filled my vision, names, timestamps, transactions, digital trails weaving together into a complex web. This was Dante’s world laid bare in cold data and quiet secrets.He st

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   THE QUIET TRAP

    The digital trace of Anton Volkov filled the laptop screen, a dense network of offshore accounts, encrypted messages, and carefully hidden transactions. It was the kind of deception built over years, quiet, patient, and deadly. Dante’s earlier words still lingered in the air: He will be dealt with.

    The warehouse had gone still.Not the relaxed stillness of safety, but the kind that pressed against the ears, thick and watchful. The lights were dimmed, shadows stretching long across concrete floors stained by old oil and older sins. Anton Volkov sat at a narrow metal table, his hands resting fl

  • THE MAFIA'S PRICE   REDIRECTION

    Three Days LaterThree days passed in a strange, heavy quiet. No celebration. No mourning. No space for emotions to rise and be acknowledged. In Dante’s world, silence after bloodshed didn’t mean peace. It meant recalibration. It meant the board was being reset, pieces moved carefully while everyon
