Chapter 4

As we approached the day of Adelia's enrollment celebration, I grew more and more ill. I coughed violently every single day and was unable to walk steadily. I even applied makeup on my face to appear ashen and weak.

Adelia and Thomas would look disgusted whenever they saw how I looked. It was as if I were some terribly filthy thing to them.

Mom would snap at me or insult me here and there, too. She'd call me a good-for-nothing and sickly burden that only dragged everyone down.

After days of careful acting on my end, it was finally the day of Adelia's celebration.

It was held at the grandest and most luxurious hotel in the country. There was a large banner with the words "Congratulations, my beloved Adelia, for getting into Dalton University!" printed on it.

Mom was wearing a luxurious gown while holding Adelia close, laughing happily. Thomas watched Adelia with a tender gaze from the side.

Meanwhile, I stood ashen in a corner in plain clothes. It was as if I were a mere outsider.

The guests soon arrived, and everyone quickly congratulated Adelia. Adelia beamed as she received praise and adoration from the crowd.

Just then, the mailman who was in charge of sending the university's offer letter arrived.

"Adelia, look! Your offer letter is here!" Mom nudged Adelia excitedly.

Adelia quickly went up to the mailman, grinning from ear to ear.

All the guests immediately raised their phones, using their cameras to capture this merry moment.

"Is Rosalie Quentin here? Please take your offer letter from Dalton University and sign here!" the mailman called out all of a sudden.

Tension filled the air in an instant. Adelia's smile froze on her face while Mom paled. Thomas shot me an incredulous look, swiftly retracting his hand from Adelia's.

All the guests were also stunned with their phones in the air.

I walked out from the corner in front of everyone and went to accept the offer letter. "I'm Rosalie Quentin. Thank you so much."

"No! That's mine!" Adelia screeched and quickly ran over to snatch the letter from my hand.

Mom's eyes were wide with disbelief.

"What nonsense is this, Rose? That letter belongs to Addy. Give it back to her!" Mom snapped.

I smiled softly, tightening my grip around the letter. "I'm afraid you're wrong, Mom. This letter has my name on it."

One of the guests mentioned the possibility that both Adelia and I had been accepted into Dalton University.

But the mailman swiftly cut them off and said, "That's impossible. The university's entry requirements are so high. There's only been one successful intake in the entire region."

All the guests then turned to Mom and Adelia.

Adelia was still in denial. She shakily checked her results online, only to be stunned by her low marks. "This is impossible! Where's my score of 1250? I've already recovered from my illness, so the points should've…"

Aunt Irina pursed her lips together. "Tch. I told you that it's impossible for Adelia to get accepted into Dalton University. She has such terrible grades!"

"So her grades were that low? She sure did put up an act!" Aunt Sarah added loudly.

All the guests began discussing amongst themselves.

Jeremy, who was sitting by the buffet table, peered up to look at the commotion, too. He was in the middle of eating an orange slice.

Adelia happened to glance at him just then. Her face paled when she saw the amethyst bracelet on his wrist.

"Jeremy Trainor, w-where did you get that bracelet?" Adelia asked.

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.
