Prisoner In The Mafia's Arms Chapter 1 Commitment

It was a big night at the Kallistos family mansion, important guests were arriving, getting out of their expensive cars.

The event was important, it was the engagement of Ariadna Kallistos, with Leonidas Petros, an agreement that would bring together two of the richest and most powerful families in the city.

Inside the mansion, the main hall was luxuriously decorated, waiters with white gloves carried silver trays with champagne glasses for the guests, only the best would be served for the occasion, conversations and laughter could be heard throughout the place.

On the upper floor, Ariadna Kallistos was preparing to make her grand entrance, she was a beautiful 19-year-old girl.

She was standing in front of the mirror, looking at her reflection with great satisfaction and pride, she had chosen for the occasion a beautiful designer dress in pearl green, which clung to her slender figure, her long brown hair fell in waves over her shoulders, a gleam of arrogance stood out in her green eyes.

"Maria!" Ariadne shouted in an annoyed tone, "Where are my emerald earrings? I want them now!" A young maid ran in, looking terribly scared, her face pale.

"Miss, I believe..."

"Do you believe?" Ariadne interrupted her rudely. "I don't pay you to believe, I pay you to know, find what I ask you or you'll be on the street tomorrow."

Nervous, poor Maria nodded and hurried out, shortly after the door opened and her mother, Athena Kallistos, entered, the woman was 40 years old, but looked 10 years younger, she was a woman of classical beauty, and distinguished bearing.

"Ariadne, darling," Athena whispered softly. "Was it necessary to speak to Maria like that? The poor girl is doing the best she can."

Ariadne rolled her eyes in disgust, but didn't even deign to look at her mother.

"Mom! If we don't push them, they'll just play dumb and lazy, and anyway, they earn an easy paycheck, they just have to find my things."

Athena sighed and walked over to her daughter, putting a hand on her shoulder as her eyes met the reflection in the mirror.

"Child, tonight the most important people in the city are gathered here, please try..." she hesitated, searching for the right words, "to be kind, after all, you are a Kallistos."

Ariadne brushed her mother's hand off her shoulder in annoyance and looked at her haughtily.

"I do this precisely because I am a Kallistos, we are better than them, mom, we must show them their place in life, it is time for you to understand that."

Before Athena could answer, Maria came rushing back carrying a small jewelry box in her hands.

"Miss Ariadne, I found them," she gasped. "They are in your traveling jewelry box."

Ariadne snatched the jewelry box from Maria's hands and opened it, inside was a beautiful pair of emerald earrings.

"Then maybe you are finally doing something right," she muttered sarcastically as she put the earrings on. "Now, get out of my sight," she said in a haughty tone.

Maria quickly retreated, once again leaving mother and daughter alone. Athena looked at her daughter with a mixture of love and concern, her daughter did not really understand what life was about.

"Ariadne, I only wish for your happiness, and true happiness comes from..." She tried to explain.

"Save the lecture, Mom," Ariadne interrupted. "Tonight is about me and Leonidas, about our future, about the empire we will build together, that is what makes me happy." Athena nodded slowly, gave a last long sigh, and then headed for the door.

"Okay, then we will be waiting for you downstairs, don't make us wait too long."

When she was alone, Ariadne turned to the mirror again, her reflection showing her the image of a beautiful young woman, at that moment she felt powerful and in control of herself.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Nikolaos Kallistos, a silver-haired man in his sixties, impeccably dressed, moved among the guests with the grace of a king among his subjects, his laughter echoing above the murmurs, greeting politicians, businessmen, and celebrities.

"Theodoros!" she shouted as she approached a stern-faced man. "Where is your son? We have to toast the bride and groom!" He asked while laughing.

"Any minute now Nikolaos, Leonidas will be here, youth always makes you wait, you see they are not very formal, not like us" said Theodoros, Nikolaos laughed again and gave him a strong slap on the back.

"Ah, youth! Well, waiting never killed anyone, now let's talk a little about that merger, with our children united, we will create an entire empire, we will be a single family full of power and dominion, we will crush the competition, and our enemies."

Hearing this, Theodoros' eyes shone strangely, but Nikolaos seemed not to notice, they moved away from the other guests and concentrated on talking about their business.

Suddenly, the music became quieter, the voices died down and all eyes turned to the marble staircase, at the top was Ariadna Kallistos.

Ariadne had planned an extravagant entrance to attract attention, and she had succeeded. She slowly walked down the stairs, wearing a wide smile, the flashes and stares focused on her, as she looked at them arrogantly, feeling that the world did not deserve her.

Nikolaos, leaving Theodoros for a moment, approached the foot of the stairs, extending his hand towards his daughter.

"Princess," he said, pride evident in his voice, "you look stunning."

Ariadne took the hand her father offered her as he led her to the center of the hall, the guests making way for them, surrounding them.

"Thank you, daddy," Ariadne said softly, "it is perfect, just as I dreamed it would be." Nikolaos kissed his daughter's forehead and turned to the assembled guests, raising his glass.

"Friends, tonight we not only honor the engagement of my daughter, Ariadne, to Leonidas, we also celebrate the blending of two families who are united as one from this very day, let us toast, Cheers!" he said raising his glass.

The guests began to toast, but soon whispers could be heard. Where was Leonidas? Guessing quickly began, thinking that he might not make it.

As if answering the murmurs, Leonidas Petros entered, a man over six feet tall, with jet black hair and piercing blue eyes, the tailored black suit fit him so well that it highlighted his athletic build, while his charming smile hid his boundless ambition.

"Sorry I was late," he said, feigning embarrassment, approaching Ariadne and taking her hand. "Traffic was terrible, but I made it." Ariadne looked at him adoringly, she was very much in love.

"You're here." She squeezed his hand, smiling.

Before everyone's expectant gaze, Leonidas knelt down, and took a small velvet box from his pocket, everyone fell silent, waiting for what was happening.

"Ariadne Kallistos, you are the most beautiful and brilliant woman I have ever met, would you do me the great honor of becoming my wife?" She immediately opened the small box and revealed a ring in which a large diamond shone, Ariadne's eyes reflected a mixture of love and triumph.

"Yes, Leonidas. Yes, yes, yes!" She answered completely excited, although he had already asked her before, what he did now was just for show.

Leonidas placed the ring on Ariadne's finger, they kissed passionately, while the crowd erupted in applause. The intensity of the camera flashes tripled, stealing the moment for the next day's covers.

Among the audience, there was a woman who watched them with mixed feelings and a serious face, while she automatically applauded. It was Melina Kallistos, Ariadne's older sister.

At twenty-two, Melina was the opposite of her sister in many ways, while Ariadne was slim and elegant, Melina struggled with her excess weight and preferred comfort over style; Ariadna was brash and confident, Melina was shy and insecure, as the guests returned to their conversations, Melina approached the couple.

"Congratulations, sister." Melina's voice trembled slightly. "Leonidas, officially welcome to the family." Ariadna barely noticed Melina, dividing her attention between her new ring and those who came up to congratulate her.

"Thank you, Melina," she said absently. "Isn't it wonderful?" Melina nodded and turned to Leonidas, for a second they looked into each other's eyes a wave of tension passed between them.

"Leonidas, could we talk? I need to tell you something important." Leonidas frowned, but kept his smile.

"Of course, sister-in-law. Ariadna, darling... I'll be right back."

Without turning to look at him, Ariadna nodded and let herself be led by a group of friends who surrounded her, saying compliments about her ring, making her big ego grow, Melina took Leonidas to a secluded place, near one of the large windows that looked out onto the garden.

When she was sure that no one could hear them, she spoke.

"Leonidas, listen... you can't do it, I know that Ariadna is my sister, but, you and I..."

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.
