FALLING FOR THE WRONG BROTHER: THIRTY DAYS IN HELL

FALLING FOR THE WRONG BROTHER: THIRTY DAYS IN HELL

"Your punishment. Shall we?," Matteo asked, this time moving towards me. He stepped closer and ripped open my half-buttoned shirt. "If other men can have you," he added quietly, "Why can't I?" I froze. "You—" "You have two choices," Matteo said, undoing his cufflinks and pushing me back toward the bed. “Choose wisely.” "One: take your pants off. Let me see what you used on my brother." "Two: I call Alessandro and have him come watch what I do to you." "You're insane," I snapped. "Does your brother know you're a fucking pervert?" "He doesn't need to," Matteo said, his hand settling on my belt. "He only needs to know you betrayed him." He said as my buckle clicked open. "And now, La mia bambola ( My Doll).” Matteo continued softly, "You're about to learn what consequences really mean." Betrayed by his fiancee two days to their wedding, Alessandro spirals and falls into the hands of a play boy--Luca Mariani. Matteo Rossi, Alessandro's brother looks into Luca and finds a full file of his promiscuous nature, seven men in two months.

Chapter: A life of my own. 
Luca Mariani POVThe dialysis ward smells like antiseptic and I hate this smell. I've hated it for two years and I hate it the same amount every single time.My mother is in the third bed from the window. She looks smaller than last week. She always looks smaller than last week. Her eyes find me the moment I push through the door and something in her face lifts."You came.""I said I would."I pull the chair close and sit. Her hand is cool when I take it. The machine beside her hums steady and indifferent, doing the work her kidneys stopped doing."You look tired," she says."I'm fine.""Luca.""I'm fine, Mama."She looks at me with squinteed by steady eyes. I look back at her and keep my face easy because that's what I do in this room. I keep it easy and I stay an hour and I don't let her see the number I'm about to hand over at the billing desk.Sofia is in the corner chair with her phone. Twenty two years old, dark hair like mine, earphones in. She pulls one out when she notices me

Chapter: Transactions
Chapter 27Matteo's POV"Abruzzi's men got to ours. One of our men is down."Alessandro's voice landed in the dining room like something physical. I watched my mother's face shift from authority to calculation in the space of one breath and she turned to me with her hands still folded. "Go handle it.” She let out a sigh but I was already moving."The location," I said to Alessandro, shrugging my jacket straight as Dominic appeared from the doorway reading the room the way good men learn to read rooms."San Raffaele." Alessandro replied. Upclose his adam apple moved with unease. That was all I needed to guess the foul play. I stopped in the motion of staightening my suit and our eyes locked. "I called Marco earlier tonight. I asked him to put men at the hospital." He tried to hold my gaze but kept failing at it. I stopped walking and turned around slowly."You asked Marco." My voice came out at that frequency that empties rooms. "To put my men at a hospital. You gave instructions to

Chapter: My brother's boyfriend.
"He fucked my fiancé." Eric’s scream ripped the silence while he struggled with the chair.Alessandro's face turned pale, his gaze now fixated on luca. His voice came out loud and Eric had to pause for a moment. "You fucked his fiancé."Luca's hand was still outstretched across the table and Alessandro was looking at it like it belonged to someone he didn't recognise anymore. I watched my brother step back from it slowly, the way you step back from something hot before your brain has fully registered the burn.I stayed where I was. Cigar between my fingers, smoke curling upward into the chandelier light. I had orchestrated this room and everything in it and I was not going to be the one who looked away first."That was before we met," Luca said. His voice was steady. Infuriatingly steady. "My life before you is not something I owe you an apology for.""Fuck that." Alessandro's voice cracked on it. Not from weakness but from something genuine splitting open. "Fuck that Luca because you

Chapter: Confronting his past.
Matteo’s Pov.“Mother,” I call following her into the inner chambers of her room. She pauses briefly by the mirror drawing a wipe from the container. She goes on to wipe her hands without turning back. I slip my hands into the pocket of my trousers, patiently waiting for her attention. She turns around peering straight into my face. “Anything?”“Mot—” I pause briefly to register her expression. Her eyes were already wrinkled by the corner.“Matteo? Anything?” I revert my gaze from her face to her black lace dress. Elegant. I don’t talk immediately, instead i gather my inner self together. “I want to take on from here. You did well out there but I’m worried about you.”She turns back to the mirror wiping her hands the second time. A little controlled sniff escaping. “I’m doing well. You don’t need to worry.”“I’m in a better position to do this—”“Your brothers fiance threw his scandal, why didn’t you do anything about that? Why are you obviously trying to make this worse than it is

Chapter: Dining with the Rossi’s
Luca Mariani POVThe dining room stands at the last floor of their big house. Long table. Dark wood. Candles that aren't for romance but for atmosphere. Cutlery arranged with the precision of someone who considers placement a statement. Flowers in the centre, yellow, same ones I noticed the first time I walked through this house.A dark intimidating woman was already seated when we walked in. The atmosphere is dark and smelling like power bottled with authority. The air radiating from her made my stomach churn. There’s no doubt she’s the famous mafia Matriarch Elena Rossi whose fame travels before her.She looks up when I walk in with Alessandro behind me and the smile that crosses her face is warm and immediate and I don't trust it one bit."You came," she says pleasantly. “Welcome, my love.”She gestures at the chair across from her. "Sit."I sit.Alessandro takes the chair beside me. When I look up my eyes locked with Matteo at the head of the table, he’s seated already, jacket on,

Chapter: My boyfriend
Alessandro's POV"Slide in."The car door opens from inside and Luca ducks in beside me, pulling it shut. The driver pulls out immediately. This is one of my family’s smart cars with no plates and tinted windows. As luca settles in he looks around the interior, runs his hand along the seat leather. "Nice."He leans back, stretches his legs before looking at me sideways. "Are you sure this is a good idea?."I look out the window, we’re headed towards the outskirts of Napels. It slides past, grey and alive. "It's safer."He nods and doesn’t argue. Which tells me the Abruzzi situation is sitting heavier on him than he's showing. I remember my father singlehandedly filing jail terms for Caesare Abruzzi. I was little then, can't remember much but I know he was stripped of his Donship because of a deal he ran behind my father's back. We ride in silence for a moment. The driver takes the long route around the cathedral district. I reach for his left palm pressing it against mine. The coldne
