Chapter 3

I chuckled and said in a sarcastic tone, "It's just a cough, Addy. There's nothing to be afraid of. But you have to be careful, Thomas. It'd be a great pity if you contract any other diseases due to your lifestyle."

Thomas' expression changed instantly. He had no idea what I was implying, of course. He assumed I was jealous of Adelia and was mocking her.

Though he was displeased, he still appeared calm and said gently, "Don't overthink it, Rose. I'm just concerned about you."

I quickly cut him off, not wanting to listen to his lies. "We'll be filling in our application forms these few days. Have you two decided which university to enroll in?"

Adelia looked happy as she cooed, "Of course I have. I'm going to Dalton University! I want to study at the same university as Thom. After all, only a university as prestigious as that one is fitting for me."

"As for some other useless pieces of work…" Adelia shot me a look before she sneered. "There's no use applying for any proper universities at all. Who knows, they might not even get the chance to start studying when the time comes."

I gently caressed the bracelet on my wrist and smiled softly. "Dalton University? That's a good university. But are you sure you'll be able to get in, Addy? Their minimum required score is 1200 points."

Adelia's expression shifted. She was about to snap at me when Mom suddenly cut in, saying, "What nonsense! Adelia's already recovered and even got terrific grades. She'll definitely get accepted into Dalton University!

"You'll be eating her dust when the time comes! Now move aside!"

Mom then pulled Adelia to her before I could speak. Then Mom said gently, "Ignore Rosalie, Addy. I'll host a celebration for your enrollment when you finish filling your forms. We'll see what else Rosalie has to say once you get your offer letter."

I quietly listened from the side, feeling cold and distraught.

Mom had done the same in my previous life. She'd happily declared Adelia's high grades to everyone right after the swap, ignoring me entirely.

I pretended to nod my head obediently before returning to my room.

For the next few days, I continued pretending to be sick while secretly observing everyone.

Sure enough, Adelia had applied to Dalton University. Mom had swiftly started preparing for Adelia's celebration, calling all our relatives throughout the day to announce the news.

She'd even used her private savings to buy a gown for Adelia, which was worth thousands of dollars.

All our relatives quickly came over to butter up Mom and Adelia after hearing that Adelia was going to a prestigious university.

Aunt Irina went up to Mom, admiration oozing from her as she said, "You're so blessed for having such a wonderful daughter, Agnes! She's made us all proud by getting into Dalton University!"

Mom was giggling happily. "Yes! Addy has made me so proud!"

Aunt Sarah had even brought Adelia expensive gifts, which Adelia gleefully accepted.

I received a text message from my best friend, Yvonne Kingsley, one day.

"Rose, I think Jeremy is sick. I saw him vomiting blood yesterday."

My grip tightened around my phone. I shot Mom and Adelia a look before smiling quietly.

Jeremy's symptoms had started a week earlier compared to mine in my previous life. It seemed like the effect of the amethyst bracelet had taken hold more quickly.

I was eager to watch everything unfold now. I wanted to see how Mom and Thomas would react when they found out that the exam results and health they'd stolen from me were nothing but a farce.

OWNED BY THE RUTHLESS MAFIA Novel Cover
7.3
I was never supposed to step into his world. I was just a daughter trying to survive the wreckage of a father's mistakes. A quiet girl living a small, careful life-until one night shattered everything I thought I knew about fear, power, and possession. They say the mafia doesn't forgive. They say debts are paid in blood. They never warned me that sometimes, the price is a woman. Luciano De Luca. The name alone makes men lower their voices and avert their eyes. A king without a crown. A devil in a tailored suit. He rules the underworld with calculated brutality, commanding loyalty through fear and obedience through bloodshed. To him, mercy is a weakness-and love is a lie told by foolish men before they die. Luciano is not a man you reason with. He is power, violence, and control wrapped in a deadly calm. A mafia king who destroys without mercy and takes without permission. When my father fails to pay his debt, Luciano takes me instead. I become his collateral. His punishment. His possession. Trapped in his world of blood and secrets, I am nothing more than a reminder of betrayal-kept under his watch, bound by his rules, and stripped of every illusion of freedom. Luciano made it clear from the start: I am not his guest. I am not his lover. I am not free. I am his possession. He watches me like a predator studying prey-cold, assessing, waiting for me to break. He expects fear to reduce me to nothing. He expects me to beg. To submit. But I don't. And that defiance ignites something far more dangerous than hatred in him. But somewhere between the locked doors and the whispered threats, I realize something dangerous: the man who owns me is far more broken than he wants the world to know. Luciano De Luca is ruthless-but he is not heartless. He is controlling-but barely. And every time I challenge him, every time I look him in the eyes without flinching, something dark and volatile stirs beneath his calm exterior. Luciano doesn't love. He claims. He controls. He owns. Yet the more he tries to crush my spirit, the more obsessed he becomes. His protection turns violent. His control turns suffocating. His eyes follow me like a promise and a threat all at once. He says I am his weakness. His mistake. His curse. Yet when enemies circle too close, it is Luciano who shields me with his body. When danger threatens, it is his voice that growls warnings, his hands that tighten possessively, his presence that promises violence to anyone who dares touch what is his. Because once a mafia king decides you belong to him... escape is no longer an option. I am trapped in a golden cage built from power, luxury, and danger-but the greatest threat isn't the guns, the blood, or the men who would kill for him. It's the way Luciano looks at me when he thinks I'm not watching. The way his control fractures when I'm hurt. The way his name feels dangerous on my lips. Because loving a mafia king is not a fairy tale. It's a war. A war between survival and desire. Between freedom and obsession. Between the girl I used to be and the woman his darkness is shaping me into. The deeper I fall into his world, the more I uncover secrets buried beneath his cruelty-betrayals that made him this way, scars that never healed, enemies that would destroy us both if given the chance. And as the line between captor and protector blurs, I'm forced to face a devastating truth: The man who owns my body may soon own my heart. But loving Luciano De Luca comes at a cost. Because in his world, love is a liability. And the moment he chooses me... is the moment he paints a target on my back. Will I escape the man who claims to own me? Or will I surrender to the darkness that refuses to let me go? In a world ruled by blood, power, and betrayal, one innocent woman will discover that the most dangerous thing of all... is being loved by a ruthless mafia king.
