Loving the Ruthless Mafia King Chapter 1 Sera's POV

The banging and clattering broke through the thin walls like thunder, jarring Sera from her sleep. She blinked at the ceiling, disoriented, before realizing that the noise wasn't stopping. Cursing and the sound of cupboards slamming shut cut through the quiet. She rolled over and glanced at the small clock on her nightstand, squinting at the blurry red numbers-2:04 a.m.

With a heavy sigh, she rubbed her eyes, pushed herself out of bed, and tiptoed toward the kitchen. She knew this routine all too well, but tonight felt worse somehow, maybe because of how exhausted she was, maybe because she'd actually dared to hope things might improve after the recent scare with the mafia. But as she drew closer to the kitchen, her stomach knotted. He was there, opening and slamming cupboard doors, a whiskey bottle clutched loosely in one hand. She could see his glassy, unfocused eyes even from across the room.

"Dad?" she called softly, but he didn't look up, his muttering only getting louder as he fumbled around, knocking over containers and shoving aside dishes.

Finally, he opened the highest cupboard, his eyes lighting up with a twisted sense of triumph. Sera's heart plummeted as she saw him reach into the back, his hand emerging with her shoebox-the faded cardboard box that held every dollar she'd managed to save. She clamped a hand over her mouth, swallowing the panic rising in her chest, and stepped forward quickly.

"Dad, wait!" she said, her voice trembling as she tried to approach him calmly. "That's... That's my money. I need that."

He froze, his bloodshot eyes narrowing as he looked at her, the haze of alcohol making his gaze heavy and unfocused. "Your money?" he slurred, voice laced with irritation. "Where'd you get money, huh? Always whining about how poor we are..."

"Please, Dad, I worked for that money," she said, stepping closer, her hands outstretched in a silent plea. "It's for bills, for food-"

He cut her off with a sneer, swaying slightly as he held the shoebox just out of her reach. "I work too, you know! I work hard. But you're always complaining, acting like I don't do enough for you."

She tried again, her voice shaking with barely restrained desperation. "I'm not saying that, Dad. I just... we need that money, okay? Please, just give it back. I'm begging you."

But he only let out a bitter laugh, his gaze shifting to the contents of the box. "Look at this... a whole fifty bucks," he muttered, counting the small, crumpled bills with a sneer. "This won't even cover the beer I've had to put up with tonight." His words stung, a twisted mockery of all the late nights she'd spent scraping together pennies, just trying to survive.

"Dad, please-" she began again, moving forward to take the box from him. But before she could reach it, he shoved her back, his grip tightening around the money as he pocketed every last bill. The shove sent her stumbling backward, her body colliding with the floor. Pain radiated up her side, and she winced, blinking up at him in stunned silence.

He didn't seem to notice-or care-that she'd fallen. Instead, he muttered to himself, his fingers clutching the money with a kind of greedy satisfaction that made her heart ache.

"Dad, please, just... just think about what you're doing," she managed, her voice barely more than a whisper. "We barely have enough to make it through the week. I don't know how much longer we can... we can keep going like this."

Sera felt the tears pricking at her eyes, a painful lump rising in her throat as she struggled to keep her composure. "I don't want to be tough, Dad. I just... I want us to be okay. I want... I want us to have something normal, something better."

He didn't even seem to hear her.

With that, he stumbled toward the front door, his movements sluggish but determined. Sera pushed herself up from the floor, reaching out a hand as if to stop him, but he didn't look back. He barely even acknowledged her existence, his focus already elsewhere. He fumbled with the lock, swaying unsteadily, and then he was gone, disappearing into the night with her last fifty dollars crammed into his pocket.

The silence that followed was deafening. The apartment felt emptier than ever, the shadows thicker and colder in his absence. Sera stayed where she was, her knees tucked up to her chest as she wrapped her arms around herself, the weight of it all crashing down on her at once.

Her fingers trembled as she pressed her palms to her face, struggling to hold back the tears. She didn't want to cry; she was tired of crying. But as she sat there, alone in the darkened apartment, the bitter truth settled over her. She was on her own-truly, utterly on her own.

Tears burned in her eyes, but she forced herself to blink them back, taking in a shaky breath as she let the numbness settle over her like a shield. She would figure this out. She had to. Because if she didn't... no one else would.

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.
