Chapter 3

The rain had stopped by morning, but Ella heard it in her head, the soft rhythm of drops against glass, the faint echo of footsteps beside her. She stirred slowly, sunlight running across the sheets, her bedroom still perfumed with the faint stench of the coffee she had not reached the night before, Nathan's words still remained, "you deserve to be seen." She hadn't realized how long it had been since anyone had said anything like that, anything very nice, unexpected, and personal. Most people told her she was fine, or strong, or holding up all right, words meant to comfort but not to see. Nathan had pierced the calm mask she wore, glimpsed the quiet ache beneath her practiced composure. She moved through her morning mechanically,eggs, toast, black coffee, the motions of someone pretending not to think too much. The city outside was scrubbed clean by the storm, pavement gleamed and trees dripped. Even the air felt new, she sat near the window, half-watching the street below while her mind wandered elsewhere.

The bookstore.

His eyes were soft when he listened, the easy calm of their silence, she caught herself smiling and shook her head, "You're ridiculous," she murmured. Two encounters, that was all. In a city full of faces, she'd met him twice-and still, he occupied her thoughts as if he'd always been there, tucked quietly between her heartbeats. Her phone buzzed, a text from Lina,

"Open-mic night tonight, sing with me, you owe me one." Ella snorted, she hadn't played or sung for anyone since college.

"Not going to happen," she typed back.The response was immediate, "You said that last time, you need this, Also, it's at Café Lune, you'll love it."

Café Lune, she'd heard of it, small stage, low amber lights, a place where people didn't perform for attention but for release. She hesitated, thumb hovering above the screen, maybe Lina was right, maybe she did need it, a night that wasn't about work or memories, just music.

Evening fell scented with rain and cinnamon, amber spilled across the pavement from within the glowing café. Inside, a hum of chatter was low beneath the strum of a guitar; candles flickered on tables, the air soft enough to touch. Lina saw her first, "You came!" she said, smiling as she tuned up her ukulele. "Good, you'll thank me later." She rolled her eyes. "I'm just watching, not singing." "Sure," Lina said, feigning innocence. "We shall see."

The open-mic began, an older man singing blues, a nervous teenager reciting poetry, a couple harmonizing off-key but full of heart, every voice carried something raw, Ella circled her finger around her mug, allowing the honesty of each performance to penetrate. The ache in her chest lessened a little. Halfway through, Lina whispered, "I need to go get something out of my car, You'll be all right?

"Yeah," Ella said, eyes still on the stage. That's when she saw him, Nathan stood framed in the doorway, his dark jacket damp at the shoulders, his hair tousled from the weather. His eyes scanned the crowd until they met hers and then the faintest, stunned smile broke across his face. "Café Lune," he said when he reached her table, his voice laced with laughter, "didn't expect to see you here." "I could say the same," she answered, her tone warming, "do you come here often?" He slipped into the seat beside her, saying, "Sometimes, when I need to remember what peace feels like." That line, simple yet poetic, lay between them like a secret. They talked in hushed tones, the strains of the music playing behind them. He was an architect; she was a content editor who had forgotten how to create for herself. He teased her about humming in the shower, she shot back that at least she didn't overanalyze buildings. Their conversation was effortless, like music, pauses and notes in balance. When Lina returned, she smiled, immediately catching the change in atmosphere. With a wave toward the host, "Next up," he declared cheerily, "an unscheduled performance by our brave volunteer, Ella!"

"What?" Ella froze, "No, no, but Lina had already placed the mic in her hand. Nathan leaned back, smiling, "You did warn me you sang," he murmured.

"You're not helping," she hissed.

"Not stopping you, either."

She climbed onto the small stage, her heart racing, the lights of the café dimmed. A guitarist offered a soft chord, a rhythm gentle as rain, she inhaled and let the sound guide her. The first notes wavered, uncertain but with every measure, her voice found steadier ground. She sang not perfectly, but honestly, the way she used to before life became careful. The room blurred, she wasn't thinking of the audience, or of loss, or of fear, just sound and breath and release.

When the song had ended, applause rose like a tide, she looked out and found Nathan watching her, his expression unreadable yet full. As she sat, he whispered, "You have no idea how lovely that was." "It was probably off-key," she muttered.

"It was real," he said, "That's rarer."

Silence fell again, comfortable, shared. They sat that way until night started to thin, the café emptying around them. When it was time to go, he walked her to the door. It was raining again, fine and steady, "Guess the weather's got a thing for us," she said with a small laugh. "Maybe it's trying to say something," he replied.

"Something like what?"

He paused, searching her face, "That some people come back because they have a purpose."

Her heartbeat stumbled, "And what purpose is that?" He smiled faintly, eyes warm. "Maybe to make sure you keep singing."

For a heartbeat, she couldn't say anything, words hovered, then dissolved into the rain between them. She smiled instead small, real, and grateful before turning to go. She continued walking, her pulse still echoing the rhythm of her song. A thought brushed her mind, quiet but insistent, maybe you're my why, too. Behind her, somewhere, Nathan stood under the awning and watched until she disappeared into the soft silver rain, the same rain that had started it all.

His Fake Heir, My Undeniable Power

8.0

After fifteen years of marriage and a brutal battle with infertility, I finally saw two pink lines on a pregnancy test. This baby was my victory, the heir that would finally secure my place as the wife of mob capo Marco Vitiello. I planned to announce it at his mother's party, a triumph over the matriarch who saw me as nothing but a barren field. But before I could celebrate, my friend sent me a video. The headline read: "MOB CAPO MARCO VITIELLO'S PASSIONATE NIGHTCLUB KISS!" It was him, my husband, devouring a woman who looked like a younger, fresher version of me. Hours later, Marco stumbled home, drunk and reeking of another woman's perfume. He complained about his mother begging him for an heir, completely unaware of the secret I held. Then my phone lit up with a text from an unknown number. "Your husband slept with my girl. We need to talk." It was signed by Dante Moretti, the ruthless Don of our rival family. The meeting with Dante was a nightmare. He showed me another video. This time, I heard my husband's voice, telling the other woman, "I love you. Elara... that's just business." My fifteen years of loyalty, of building his empire, of taking a bullet for him-all dismissed as "just business." Dante didn't just reveal the affair; he showed me proof that Marco was already stealing our shared assets to build a new life with his mistress. Then, he made me an offer. "Divorce him," he said, his eyes cold and calculating. "Join me. We'll build an empire together and destroy him."

Reborn From Fire: The Mafia King's Bride

The fire that melted my skin should have been the end of my story. I had been the perfect mafia wife. I obeyed my father, I married Dante Genovese, and I even birthed his daughter. But in return, he locked us in a safehouse and lit a match. He watched from behind a steel door as I burned to ash, all because his mistress, Sofia, was jealous and wanted me out of the picture. My own brother had spiked my champagne to ensure I was too weak to fight back. I died screaming, my lungs filling with smoke and the scent of my husband's betrayal. But when I gasped awake, I wasn't in hell. I was in the bridal suite at the Ritz-Carlton. My hands were smooth. My skin was unblemished. The date on the digital clock burned red in the darkness. It was three years ago. It was the night of our engagement. The night it all began. Dante was in the bathroom right now, humming contentedly as he washed off the scent of his mistress before coming to claim his "lawful prize." In my past life, I waited for him. I let him take me, thinking my submission would earn his love. Not this time. I didn't run to the lobby for help. My family had sold me out. Instead, I took the elevator to the Penthouse floor. To the territory of the Outfit. To the door of Matteo Moretti—The Butcher. The only man ruthless enough to make Dante tremble. When the door opened, revealing a man with eyes like ice and a gun in his hand, I didn't flinch. I fell to my knees and looked up at the monster who could save me. "I am Elena Vitiello," I whispered, the drug in my veins setting my blood on fire. "And I have a proposition."

The Canary Who Learned To Fly

8.2

I died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him—my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit—watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London—an exile disguised as a severance package—I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.
