"I still feel like you've seen the man who shot my guy in the club before. One day you'll tell me," Julian grabbed the glass to fill it again, gesturing towards me with it in his hand.

Oh... here we go again. I sighed and crossed my arms, "And if I don't?"

He downed the glass and smirked before softly laughing in a deep tone, "Then you seem to have lost the will to run already, bella."

Julian has unexpectedly become the next Mafia boss of his late father's organization and just captured his next submissive, a cocktail waitress named Vivian. However, when his underboss is shot, he wonders if she is a rat planted to end his reign.

Now, they're trying to solve who committed the crime and who keeps sending Vivian roses, while trying to make their relationship work. Will Vivian be able to trust Julian enough to grant her submission to him, or will they wither like a dying rose?

Captured by a Mafia Boss

I had never met the kitchen staff of his house. I assumed that they had just eaten out all this time and never cooked a day in their lives, but I didn’t know Julian well enough. The only thing he had fed me was what he wanted me to know, and for some reason that hurt more.


A melodic hum came from the kitchen as I stepped foot inside. A curvy woman with greying hair danced as she thumbed through a cookbook. The book appeared to be vintage and handwritten, and I wondered if it had been handed down from generations before.


A gasp left her lips as she leaped in her spot, “Sorry, I wasn’t expecting you, bella.”


Maybe that was where he got that pet name from. I cleared my throat and gave her a smile, “No, I’m sorry. I scared you. I should have introduced myself. I’m Viv.”


“Maureen.” She walked over to kiss my cheeks in greeting with a kind smile. “I cook the meals and take care of the boy’s home.”
