Loving His Cold Mafia Brother
Sweet B · Ongoing · 200.7k Words
Introduction
So she stumbled into the arms of a stranger to numb the pain.
It'll just be one night, no names and definitely no strings attached. She'd never see him again.
But, she was so wrong.
Now Eva's daughter is sick, her ex is fighting for custody, and the only man who can help is the one she swore to forget.
Dante De Luca. New York's most feared businessman, her ex-fiancé's brother. And the stranger who's not letting her walk away twice.
Chapter 1
“Suite 1204. He’s been there for an hour.”
The text from the unknown number glowed on my screen. Below it was a grainy photo from a hotel lobby. Jace’s back, in his favorite suit with a blonde woman’s hand in his.
I looked away from the picture and took a deep breath before dialing his number.
He picked on the third ring.
“Where are you? The planner is asking about the wine for tonight. Your guests will be here any minute.” I tried not to sound as hoping and confused my heart was.
It's our wedding eve, and I've been with Jace for years now to know he'd never betray me, even if not for my sake then for Lily's.
There was shuffling on his end before he replied in a low, almost whispering tone. “I'm in a meeting, babe. Being on my phone is the one thing I shouldn't be doing. Tell her the Chateau Blanc. See you at seven.”
At first I didn't think deeply about it when he said he had a meeting with some investors. Whoever goes out for a meeting the night before his wedding. But I hadn't thought deeply about it.
But now, looking at the photo again.
The Marquette Hotel was four blocks from his office and thirty minutes away from here. There was no harm in going to check up on him, besides, I've done so many times and he liked that, mainly because Jace was someone who liked to show off any little achievement, including finally marrying me.
I dropped my daughter Lily off at my friend Chloe’s apartment with a box of snacks and her toys just in case I overstayed at the office which I believe was where he was. “Mommy has to go see Daddy about something for the wedding,” I said, forcing a smile. “Be a good girl for Aunty Chloe okay?”
I looked up at Chloe with a knowing look. She was curious, I know, but until I confirm my suspicions, I had to put myself together and keep my lips right. Jace made a promise to me when I got pregnant with Lily and I just hope, so badly that he wasn't breaking it.
“Is Daddy getting the big cake?”
“The biggest,” I whispered.
“You go now, I'll take care of her.” Chloe waved me off with a small smile and carried Lily in, asking her how movie night sounds in a baby voice.
I shut the door and walked down the road, hailing a cab.
We arrived at Marquette Hotel eighteen minutes later, thanks to the clear road and the experienced driver who knew his routes well.
I took the elevator to the twelfth floor and walked out facing suite 1204 just at the end of the hallway opposite me.
My grip on my back strap tightened as I took a step forward.
I could be wrong, I could be overthinking.
This was my husband to be and doubting his loyalty was like spitting on our relationship. We've been together for years, and he's had so many times to be with another woman especially during our short breakup but he didn't, so why would he now?
Literally, this could probably be a hater or a kid trolling me, or someone Jace's stepbrother I've only ever heard paid to try to stop the wedding.
I stopped at the front of the suite, but just before I could knock, the wind carried a woman's laughter out the door. Marquette wasn't that top tier of a hotel, one could imagine how their soundproof system sucks.
I lifted my hand to knock again when I heard his voice.
“—so fucking perfect,” he was saying, his voice muffled but a bit clear. “You should see her with the kid. Total domestic goddess. It’s exactly the image we need.”
“And she really has no clue?” The woman's voice came again, purring.
“Why would she? She's been busy with the wedding, hopefully that goes well tomorrow. Once my stepbrother sees the whole perfect family man package tomorrow, my position is locked. After that…well, marriages fail, it's never perfect. Hopefully she won't make a big deal out of it.”
Soft sounds of kisses and moans followed after.
I stared at my shaky hands for a moment before turning the knob, fortunately the door was unlocked. I pushed it open, stepping into a sight that shattered whatever doubt was left and made bile rise to my throat.
They were on the plush cream sofa, a champagne bottle sweating on the coffee table between them. She was in his lap, her red dress hiked up her ass and his suit jacket was tossed over a chair. At the corner of his mouth was a lipstick smear.
The door shutting announced my arrival.
Jace’s face went from startled to confused, then settled into a cold, irritated look upon seeing me.
The knot in my heart and lungs twisted tighter leaving me breathless for a moment.
“Eva.” He didn’t push her off. “This isn’t what you think.”
The blonde slid off his lap with a slow, annoying grace. She smoothed her dress, a faint, smug smile touching her lips as she looked me up and down.
“It looks,” I began but stopped, taking a deep breath to calm my body. I couldn't stop shaking.
Was it anger? Fear? Pain?
“It's looks like you’ve been fucking her, and! and our life is a brochure for your promotion, a means to taunt your brother. For years!!” I couldn't stop the tears from spilling any more. “It—it's the night before our wedding, Jace. Why? Why would you do this to me.”
He stood up, buttoning his shirt. “You need to calm down. Selene is a business associate and we were celebrating the club deal, don't make a big deal out of this.”
A big—
“With her tongue down your throat?!” I tried not to laugh at the absurdity, at the lack of remorse. “We're fucking getting married!!!”
For a second, he looked almost uncomfortable, but then his jaw tightened. “We are. This… is the cost of the life I’m giving you, don't you get it? You think keeping this business afloat just works like that? So yes, we're still going to get married, Eva. This is just paperwork.”
“Hear yourself speak!!! Hear how stupid and inconsiderate you sound.”
“Can you not be crazy for a second?”
I walked forward and swung my hand out onto his cheek before I could think. His head snapped to the side as a red mark bloomed on his cheek.
“You don't call me crazy? I'm not a child Jace, so I know a cheating asshole when I see one.”
He touched his face, his eyes wide with shock. But before he could speak, I turned to his mistress. She took a step back in fright, her smug smile faltering as she waited for her own hit but I grabbed the half-full champagne bottle from the table instead and upended it over her perfectly styled blonde head.
She shrieked, champagne dripping down her face and dress, I only dropped the bottle when there was nothing in it anymore. It landed on the carpet with a thud.
“Fuck the both of you.”

I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.

Was he about to kiss me?

He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?

He used one of his hands to stroke my cheek and tingles erupted everywhere.

I never gave a damn about the whispers or the shame. She was my sister. I would always stand between her and this cruel world, protecting her with everything I had.
Together, we dreamed of Asterion Academy and the glory waiting at the top of the Celestial Tower. We would ascend together, prove everyone wrong, and finally become heroes that the people of Elaris could look up to instead of pitying.
But that dream died the night Colette was murdered inside the academy.
The academy council called it suicide. The nobles blamed the Twin Curse—the weaker twin had to die so the stronger one could thrive.
Bullshit.
I know the truth.

Darius, the fiercely loyal sorcerer whose strength makes him nearly unstoppable. Orion, the quiet shadow wielder who moves unseen. And Lysandra, a proud water sorcerer.

GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
