She finished smug and shot me a nasty look.

"Your Honor, Jemma's been imprisoning and controlling my son. That's unlawful confinement. She should be arrested today."

Garrett nodded fast, practically glowing at the idea of me in cuffs.

I let out a short laugh. "You're sure Willie personally called you?"

"Of course," they said together.

I took a slow breath. "Wow. Good to know."

I faced the judge. "Your Honor, Willie couldn't have made that call. He couldn't have signed anything. Their evidence is fake."

The judge studied the document, frowning.

Linda waved her copy at the camera. "Everyone, look. It's right here in black and white. And she's still denying it."

The livestream lit up.

[What's there to debate? He's over twenty. He picked his guardian and signed it himself.]

[Judge, just rule already. Give Willie back to Garrett and Linda.]

The judge didn't say a word.

I watched them, ice-cold.

Linda snapped first, pointing at me. "Just wait. When my son comes home, you're done."

Garrett put on that fake calm. "Jemma, what's not yours will never be yours. Confess now. Maybe you'll dodge a few charges."

I kept my voice flat. "Don't celebrate yet. You might be the ones who lose."

Linda lunged. The bailiffs grabbed her before she got close.

Finally, the judge looked up. "Defendant, do you have more evidence?"

I checked the time. "Yes. Two sets. First, I request Willie be brought to court. If I'm right, he's already here."

The judge nodded. The courtroom doors creaked open.

Linda burst into tears. "Willie! Mommy's finally see you!"

Garrett squeezed her hand, locked on the entrance.

Then a sharp bark cut through the room.

A tall black German Shepherd sprinted in.

The second he saw me, he dropped into a sit, tail going wild.

I gave a small smile. "Everyone, meet my 'son,' Willie."

The courtroom froze.

The livestream went insane.

[What the hell?! Her son's a dog?!]

[No way. This has to be a joke!]

Linda and Garrett just stared, mouths open.

I smiled. "This is my 'son.' He passed the police exams. Next month, he'll officially join as a K-9. I'm proud of him."

Then I looked at them. "As for your real son? I know exactly where he is."

"I'm done with you, Aurora Fernandez-if that's even your name." Mia's voice trembled with rage as she turned for the door. "You'll regret refusing me," Aurora snapped behind her. Mia's hand touched the knob-just as it turned on its own. The door creaked open. Her heart dropped. Standing in the doorway was a face she never wanted to see again. Lucius Lovato. The cold, merciless CEO of the department store where she'd once worked. His eyes swept over her with visible disdain. "Who is this little thing, Eva?" he asked, his voice hoarse and biting. And just like that, Mia knew-she was trapped again. Wrongfully accused. Publicly humiliated. Betrayed by the only man she ever loved. Mia Simpson thought she'd hit rock bottom. Then came the offer-escape prison and start over, under one terrifying condition: seduce and marry Lucius Lovato, the mafia heir with a heart of ice and a soul no one dares touch. But Mia isn't the fragile girl the world thinks she is. She agrees to the deal-on her own terms. Behind her innocent eyes burns a thirst for revenge, and the deeper she steps into the dark world of power, blood, and secrets, the more dangerous she becomes. Lucius, however, is not a man easily fooled. Every attempt to break him only draws him closer. And every secret Mia hides? He already suspects. As enemies close in and her hidden past begins to unravel, Mia discovers a horrifying truth-she is not just a girl caught in the middle of a mafia war. She is the legacy of something much greater... and much more feared. He was her mission. She was his undoing. But in the underworld, love might just be the most dangerous weapon of all.

Addicted To My Genius Assassin Wife

My entire family was slaughtered three years ago by Alistair Kirkland, the usurper who stole the underworld throne. I was the only survivor. Smuggled out of New York as a child, I was trained in the shadows to become a flawless weapon. Now, at sixteen, I returned to the city that was supposed to be my graveyard. But the New York I returned to was a suffocating cage. Kirkland didn't just wipe out the Valenzuela bloodline; he branded my few surviving loyalists as traitors. He paraded my men down the streets in heavy iron chains, letting the very people we once protected hurl rocks at them. He bought the doctors, ensuring my wounded soldiers would bleed out in the dark. Even worse, the mother of my only ally—Julian Morgan—secretly sold us out to a Chicago warlord just to keep her archaic grip on power. I stood in the shadows, watching an eleven-year-old boy get his head smashed with a jagged stone just for defending his father's honor. How could the city my grandfather built cheer for our extermination? Why did the old guard prefer to cower and die in the dark rather than fight the monster who stole our home? "Ghosts don't knock on my door, Athena. What do you want?" Julian asked me. I tossed a blood-stained ledger of Kirkland's deepest secrets onto his desk. "I'm here to help you take back what's yours, and burn Alistair Kirkland's empire to the ground."

Blade of the Fallen: A Daughter's Retribution

7.1

For ten years, I disguised myself as my dead twin brother, fighting bloody mob wars to build the Falcone family's bootlegging empire. When the war ended, I thought I could finally take off the men's suits and be Anya again. Instead, my parents stole my victories to secure my father's power, demanding I disappear forever. When I tried to expose the truth, my family dragged me into a soundproof basement. My younger brother forced a metal funnel past my teeth and poured corrosive chemicals down my throat, dissolving my vocal cords into a blistered ruin. They chained me to a freezing pier, whipped me bloody, and let the men I used to lead spit on me as a jealous traitor. Then, under the guise of a family reconciliation dinner, my mother drugged my wine. While I lay paralyzed but fully conscious on my bed, my brother took heavy iron pliers and crushed all ten of my fingers, bone by bone. They wanted to ensure I could never hold a gun or write the truth again. I had slaughtered for them, bled for them, and craved only their love. In return, they pulverized my body and painted me as a hysterical madwoman just to keep the crown I had won for them. The foolish girl who wanted a family died in that agonizing pain, leaving behind only a ghost. Dragging my mangled, bandaged body into the rival Romano family's charity gala, I collapsed at the feet of their ruthless matriarch. "I invoke the sacred code," I rasped through my chemically burned throat. "I demand a Vendetta."
