Rescued by the mafia lord Chapter 1 One

Rosetta's POV

"Come out here now and let me end you painlessly!!" Garnacho's words kept ringing in my head. I could not get it off my mind, no matter how hard I tried to. I was lost in a world that I once called mine.

The streets of Milan were darker than usual. The bright neon lights weren't in sight and it was probably better that way since there's a bounty on my head. I'd been hiding for days now, almost five days, eating leftovers and begging like my family wasn't stinkingly rich. Brought up and nutured in the family that owned the biggest Mafia , I never lacked anything, not even the most expensive of things. They were all like cheap goods to me.

I hid in close to the dumpster, trying to gather my thoughts and make a plan for myself. My head was hurting and I was seeing strange visions. It felt like the whole world was closing in on me and I had no choice than to move with the flow. I could feel like slipping out of my flesh. I tried to stay strong, I forced myself to.

I stood up and heaved quick sighs, breathing in and out, getting myself ready to escape Milan and Italy. I stepped out of the dumpster only to see six tall, muscular men, standing close to the dumpster. They all surrounded me and their smirks grew as they saw me. My eyes fell on one and I saw a GPS locator in his hands and one of my clothes in the other. Only God knows how I was tracked.

The one that held the cloth sighed in relief and then smiled.

"Half a million dollars, staring at us in the face." He said and the others laughed happily.

FIVE DAYS EARLIER

"Come out here now and let me end you painlessly!!" Garnacho screamed on the other side of the door into my room. Silverback, my dog, barked at the door.

I kept pacing round my room, searching for anything that could be a weapon to fight against him. I was absolutely scared.

Ever since my father died, Garnacho, my godfather, had always taken care of me. His sudden hatred for me and his desperate want to see me dead was very scary. Being my father's favourite though I'm a bastard put me in a lot of horrible situations. This wasn't one I'd have ever thought of. Garnacho adored me, or at least, I thought he did.

"Why do you want to kill me?" I asked, fighting back the tears that threatened to spill. I was scared for myself. I'd looked for several ways to escape but there was absolutely none. The rooms were locked and there was no way I'd escape. I was breathing raggedly, scared for my life. He had been acting up ever since, it got worse months before, but this morning, it all went through the roof, like he had found validation to end me.

"You are beginning to annoy me with these questions! Come out and let me finish this up, Rosetta." Garnacho said with a loud growl.

I began desperately searching for an escape, anything that would keep me alive. I looked through the windows again and just three goons stood where I could jump.

"If I can somehow trick them that I'm somewhere else, I'll be able to escape." I mumbled to myself and almost immediately, then the reality of what stood at the gates hit me. Even if I did escape the guards at the windows, I'll never escape those at the gates.

"Don't force me to break this door open!" Garnacho shouted and he hit the door so hard with some metal that it made a very visible dent on the metallic door.

"You're a fucked up piece of shit and you deserve the worst things in the world!" I shouted angrily but it only erupted laughter from Garnacho. "You dare defy me?"

"Now, that's the stubborn bitch I know, but fighting would do you no good here." Garnacho said.

"I'd rather have my legs chopped off than fight a piece of shit like you." I responded angrily.

Garnacho hit the door again. I shivered in fear and my survival instincts kicked in.

I looked at my dog on the bed and gave it one last kiss, at least till I'd do the craziest thing ever.

"Take care, Silverback, I love you." I said, moving backwards to the door and staring at the window. I took deep breaths and stopped thinking. I need to rid myself of thoughts to take more sane actions. Only insanity could save me.

Another bang at the door, it fell open just as I ran and jumped out of the window. Surprisingly, I was about ten feet away from the three guards that stood downstairs, outside my window. I did not know how that happened and so, I took to my heels and I began running. I could feel my legs touching my necks. I ran so fast and surprisingly, I was faster than every single one of them.

There was a secret passage I never thought of but my father had taken me through it once when my step mom was planning on beating the daylight out of me. I hurriedly took it and I avoided more guards.

Thankfully, none of them could keep up. I got out into a very crowded area of Milan but I didn't stop running, I was at it till I felt a little safe and I stayed hidden. Never did I know I could run so fast, I was never good at it but adrenaline would do anything to a person.

PRESENT TIME.

"Can I have a taste of this one?" One asked, licking his lips in a disgusting and unlawful manner.

"I say we all do." Another said. "He didn't say dead or alive."

They all laughed while I was in agony, I needed to escape.

"I'll rather have myself killed than have any of you prick heads touch me." I said clenching my teeth and it seemed to get them more angry as they began closing in on me. I tried escaping but unlike the last time, I wasn't so lucky.

They tossed me amongst themselves, slapping me as they did and just when one of them tore my shirt, I heard a voice. My heart skipped a beat at the sound of the voice. I'm literally about to die, but my heart was skipping beats for a voice.

"That's no way to treat a lady." He said. I was able to get a glance at him and he was dangerously handsome! Tall, well chiseled chin, not skinny but not too built also, ocean eyes, rudy dark hair, he was perfect!

I smiled at the beautiful sight, even if it's the last I see, it's worth it.

"And who the heck are you?" The one with my cloth asked.

"Pardon me. I'm Nicholas and I ask that you deliver the lady into my hands." He said calmly and they laughed. Funny enough, he joined in the laughter and then his demeanor changed. I could barely see since my face was already bruised.

"Don't make me ask again!" Nicholas said coldly and I shivered.

"Or what?" One of the thugs asked and the next thing was chaos all around.

The thug that held me pushed me against the wall and I hit my head, I fell to the ground and just before I went unconscious, I saw him, throwing them around and shooting them.

Was I just saved by this handsome devil? My knight in shining armor.

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

Roderic Penn

I stood at my mother's open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest's voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone-he brought Charla with him. He claimed she'd had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

Katie Oettgen

As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

Xiao Xiaosu

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner-my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn't offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend's apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I'd spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend's face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.
