Chapter: A happy Ending *Warning. This chapter contains a little bit of smut.**Isabella Russo's POV*I was walking down to class when someone yelled my name from behind."Hey Bella! Wait." Pretending like I didn't hear the person, I increased my pace, hoping to avoid whoever didn't want to leave me alone."Bella. Stop" He placed his hands on my shoulder and unfortunately I couldn't fake being deaf or unable to feel his hands on me so I stopped and turned."Hey Charlie. What's up" I say with fake euthusiasm. Charlie is one of my classmates, who apparently likes me since first year. But I've been avoiding him my whole time since then because why not?Everyone expected us to date because apparently the 'queen' and 'king' has to be together. But no thanks. Don't even know why they tagged me as that."What do you want Charlie?" I ask again when I notice he has been staring at me without saying anything. My cheek hurting because of the fake smile I had on for too long. He shakes his head snapping out of whatever

Chapter: Alive.I stared at the car which stopped a few distance away from my house, it stayed there for a while, before it drove off once again.It's been a few weeks since I started seeing that car around me, at first I thought it was a coincidence, maybe a student with a car staying around. But it has been showing up everywhere and anywhere I go. Maybe it was Andrei asking someone to keep an eye on me, but for some reason I wasn't bothered and wasn't about to panic.I opened the door, walking into my house and shutting it behind me, making sure it was locked.It's been two years since I left Italy, two years without Nico and two years since I started all over in a place no one knew me.Andrea decided to go to fashion school at the last minute so we were separated, not that I minded.It was nice to be in a place without anyone staring at you with pity at every minute, waiting for you to break down so they could wrap their arms around you and tell you everything was going to be alright.It was sicke

Chapter: What keeps me going*Isabella Russo's POV*Prom day went by fast, which I obviously missed and finally it was graduation day, the day everyone has been waiting for to come. Everyone except me of course, I just wanted to be over and done with all these. I sat on my own waiting for Andrea to arrive. She was the only one I could lean on today.I was wearing my graduation gown over a plain shirt and baggy jeans.Andrea talked about it all she could, but I didn't care that it was "D graduation", I want it done.l s I could start a new beginning.I didn't bother telling Andrei it was today because he would be busy and things like this didn't interest him, I don't want to bother him. But it didn't matter along as I was finally leaving this place. "Why are you looking so lost? You should be happy that finally we are leaving this school" Andrea said, sitting beside me and snapping me out of my daze. She held m e tightly, gluing her sweaty body to mine and I wondered what she did to be that sweaty."You do know tha

Chapter: To a new beginningIsabella Russo's POVThings were becoming a bit better and Andrea always stayed with me and made me forget the pains I suffered earlier. School was going well and my finals were coming up soon. The days of my high school was coming to an end. And I could remember vividly when Nico promised to attend my graduation. What a jerk, I had come to accept his death and live a free life but doubted loving again."Bella, can I see you for sec," the principal requested as I was crossing the hallway with Andrea. "Thank you for your audience, I was wondering if you would like to be the valedictorian of the year. It's like I'm imposing it on you. But you have the highest grades so far and I don't know if..." She starts, staring at me and hoping I would accept. S"I will take it, the speech, I will say it. After all I earned it for myself. It would also be a great start for me in college," I smiled easing her tension. Everyone in school knew about my tragic story. They were avoiding me mostly and

Chapter: FuneralIsabella Russo's POVThe funeral took place at the Perez's burial ground. As usual, everyone wore black and stood in line waiting for me to place the last flower on his coffin and say my final wordsNot that I was ready to say my final words to him, I wasn't ready to let him go.I was not allowed to cry because it would be a sign of a bad omen. In the mafia, Don's were to be respected till the very end. Crying would only mean that he was weak and didn't live a good life. I held my tears back and stood in front of Nico's coffin. Inside, his face was covered I couldn't even see his face for the last time. This was the part where I hated the mafia tradition. I couldn't see his face as I said my goodbye. And Andrei safi wasn't even allowed to say my farewell here to me. The mafia rules are against such. I really felt pathetic doing this, my tears were pending and the mourning crowd was waiting for my words."You have to speak Bella, the time is ticking," Andrei stepped to my side prompti

That's an on obvious lie Andrei. Please tell me you are joking. It's impossible, Nico can't leave me here alone," I held his shirt tight hoping that he would tell me that it was all a joke.

I wanted to confirm his death and and actually believe that Nico left me but Andrei didn't let me. He carried me away from the hospital and drove me back home.For two weeks, I refused to eat or talk to anyone. I couldn't believe that Nico was no longer with me. And the longer I waited, the more I felt his absence.He was gone for good and I couldn't get myself to accept it.

Bound By Blood: The Step-Brothers' Temptation
Amelie DaVinci never expected to be stolen from the altar. One moment, she was walking down the aisle. The next, her stepbrothers stormed in, guns drawn, tearing her from the life she never wanted.
Luca, the cold and ruthless leader, plays mind games that blur the line between cruelty and seduction. Matteo teases her with whispered promises of pleasure and pain. And Nico, the silent one.
As a mafia war ignites and betrayals cut deep, Amelie faces an impossible choice—fight back or surrender to the dark temptation of the men who refuse to let her go.
Escape is impossible. Betrayal is inevitable. And surrendering to the darkness might be her only way to survive.
Amelie knew she shouldn’t be anywhere near them. But here she was, trapped between Luca and Matteo, with Nico watching from the armchair.
Matteo’s fingers brushed against her waist. “You know,” he murmured, “you keep running, but you always end up right back here. With us.”
Amelie swallowed hard. “This is a mistake.”
Luca hummed in amusement. “Then why haven’t you stopped us?” His fingers wrapped around a loose strand of her hair, tugging lightly. “Or better yet, why haven’t you stopped yourself?”
She shivered. “We shouldn’t be doing this,” she whispered, but it lacked conviction.
Nico finally moved, his gaze locking on hers. “Then walk away,” he said. “If that’s what you really want.”
Amelie’s breath hitched. Her body betrayed her, leaning slightly into Luca’s touch, into Matteo’s warmth.
Matteo tilted her chin up, forcing her to meet his gaze. “That’s what I thought.” His lips hovered over hers. “We’re not the ones keeping you here, Amelie. You are.”
This was dangerous. It was reckless. But she knew she was already theirs.

Chapter: Dying _Amelie’s POV_The warmth in the estate was different now, not what I was used to. It was quiet footsteps and soft-spoken apologies, the gentle clatter of a spoon in a porcelain bowl, Nico adjusting the curtains to keep the sun off my face. It was Matteo making sure my tea was the right temperature before handing it to me, and Luca watching me with a stare that no longer held knives—but regret.They didn’t leave me alone.Not even for a second.It was suffocating and sweet all at once.I’d been home for two days, but it felt longer. Like my pain stretched time itself.I didn’t mention the blood. I didn’t mention the ache that wouldn’t leave my lungs or the heaviness in my limbs that no amount of rest could fix. I told myself it was trauma. Exhaustion. Healing.I didn’t want to believe it was whatever Santiago had put it in me.I told myself I could survive it—whatever Santiago had done to me. Whatever poison was buried in my veins.I just needed one more day.“Are you cold?” Nico aske

Chapter: Killing meI woke to heat.Not the weather. It was inside me.It clung to my skin, wrapped around my chest, soaked into the gauze binding my ribs. My body felt like it had melted into the bed, too heavy to move, too weak to try. Every breath scratched down my throat like broken glass.Why had I woken up again? I was confused for a few seconds.Then I heard them.Voices—raised and angry.“Why wasn’t she waking up?!” Matteo’s voice. Sharp, panicked. “She had a fever all night, Luca—she was burning up!”“We did what we could,” Luca snapped back, colder. “The doctor said she was stable—”“She wasn’t stable! She was unconscious!”“You think I didn’t see that?” Nico this time. “You think I slept while she lay there shaking?”I didn’t move.They didn’t know I was awake.I had a fever last night. I didn’t know that. That explained the burn that I felt inside me. I kept my eyes half-closed, listening as their guilt leaked into every corner of the room.“You saw what they did to her,” Nico said again, qu

Chapter: Alive_Amelie’s POV_The world came back to me slowly.My eyelids were heavy. My body was heavier. But the silence was soft this time, not cruel. And I wasn’t cold. There was warmth pressed against my skin. Sheets. A blanket. A pillow beneath my head.This wasn’t my father’s house.That’s right… he had sent me back and I was with the triplets now.Alive.I opened my eyes to find three shadows standing over me.My lips parted to let out a scream. Santiago was here. It took a second for their faces to become clearly then I relaxed.It was just the triplets. Nico was seated closest, his brows furrowed in fierce concentration as he dabbed a cloth against my wrist. I didn’t even feel it at first—just the motion. He was cleaning my wounds. Gently. Carefully. As if I would shatter if he pressed too hard.Matteo stood nearby, a tray of food in his hands. Soup. Water. Some fruit is peeled and sliced. He was watching me like a hawk—not like he expected me to collapse, but like he’d never seen me b

Chapter: I’d die_Amelie’s POV_The first thing I noticed when I woke was the absence of pain.Not the actual pain—that was still there, gnawing at the edges of my ribs, pulsing behind my eyes. But it was dulled. It didn’t threaten to end me like he did when I was dropped off here. It felt like it had been softened by something they’d given me, or maybe just by sleep. I wasn’t sure anymore. The lines had blurred.I didn’t remember what had happened, because at some point I had slept off, or lost consciousness.I couldn’t tell which had happened.The second thing I noticed… was that I wasn’t alone.I turned my head slowly, and all three of them were there.Nico. Matteo. Luca.Standing in the corner of the room like the ghosts of men who had once known what to do. But now they just stood. Staring at me. Staring at what was left of me rather. Their presence filled the room in different ways.Nico’s rage was quiet but barely held back, like storm clouds rumbling under his skin. Matteo’s was loud in the

Chapter: Loyalty _Amelie’s POV_I didn’t cry anymore.There were no tears left. They had been scraped out of me alongside the skin under my nails, drained with every drop of blood, cauterized with every burn Silvio gave me. Now there was only a quiet cold, numb, and bitter. I sat slumped against the wall, my body broken but my mind still functioning—barely.I was barely functioning at this point. The door opened.This time, it wasn’t Silvio.It was my father.Or rather sperm donor. Santiago walked in wearing his usual black, a long coat trailing behind him. His presence didn’t fill the room. It crushed it.I couldn’t lift my head, but my body still reacted. Every cell braced.I wanted to kill him but I couldn’t move a single muscle in my body. His shoes clicked across the floor as he came to stand in front of me. “You’re alive,” he said plainly.“Unfortunately,” I rasped, voice like rust.He could have just killed me instead of making me go through all these.

Chapter: Choice_Amelie’s POV_I woke up with a jolt, my eyes roaming around the room as I tried to figure out why I had woken up in the first place. And that was when I heard it again… the sound of metal.It was a soft click which was followed by the door opening.My entire body tensed. No part of me could move without me screaming. My hands felt detached—raw, destroyed, useless. The pain from yesterday hadn’t faded. It had taken root in me, humming through my blood like a second heartbeat.I hadn’t even known when I had lost consciousness. The pain was too much for me to bear, I had to pass out. I watched as Silvio stepped inside. He looked Calm and Composed. He was dressed in the same black gloves and tailored shirt as if yesterday never happened.But I knew it had. My fingers were proof of it. “You didn’t use the blade,” he said, eyes flicking to where it lay untouched by the wall. “That’s good. Means there’s something still alive in you.”I didn’t answer. Couldn’t. My lips were dry and crack

Everyone stared at the beautiful lady that just walked in, their eyes widened in awe.The men stared at her with clear interest and lust, eyes roaming over her figure. Who was she is here to see?They wondered. Ruelle ignored the stares she got from people around, she walked up to the receptionist immediately. "Hello, I'm here to see Killian," Ruelle said, smiling politely. She let her eyes roam around the place, nodding in satisfaction to the interior decoration of the place. The receptionist stared at Ruelle with obvious distaste, giving her a once-over. "Do you have an appointment?" She asked, flipping through her book to search for her name. A name she never asked for

He had taken a different aura and was fierce now. Killian found no need to act weak, they had found out about his sight and legs. What use was it for?How that it was our, he was going to make all those that hurt his people pay. And he was going to start by making the Lexington family go bankrupt. "So what? You made a few calls, am I expected to bow to you now?" Edward asked sarcastically, staring at Killian with hatred. He always disliked this particular son of his and the reasons were quite obvious. Killian didn't bother if they were related or not, if he wanted to get rid of you, he would do so without any hesitation. "A few calls? I only needed to make ju

"This could not be happening!" She thought to herself. Her eyes went from Killian who was standing gloriously, to Ruelle who stood by his side with pride.

Did you know what your wife has been doing? She has been smearing the Lexington name in mud!” Mrs Lexington exclaimed and I instantly knew that Eileen had said something to her.“What my wife has been doing has nothing to do with anyone and I would appreciate it if you stayed away from our business,” Killian warned, making Mr. Lexington laugh dryly. “Your wife has been going around whoring with men, she bears my surname and yet it's none of our business?!

His eyes remained on mine as he started moving slowly, watching my face for any sign of pain. Slowly, the feeling of pain was replaced by pleasure and I felt myself wanting more. “Killian,” I moaned loudly, as his pace increased. Killian leaned in to kiss me, swallowing my loud moans. “Fuck, Ruelle,” He growled, taking my tits into his mouth. He sucked on one as he grounded the other with his hand.

You can't run from me, little mouse,” His voice sent shivers down my spine, making me feel things I wasn't certain I could feel. Killian had closed the distance between us, trapping me between his chest and the wall. I could smell his cologne from how close we were and I took a deep breath. “The last time you were drunk and I couldn't do anything to you. Now, you're going to beg me to stop touching you,” Killian whispered in my ears. His hot breath fanned my neck and I gulped. The worst part of it all was that I wanted him to touch me. My core throbbed harder, and I raised. my eyes to meet his. “Please,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. It only took that one word as a form of consent from

I had left Luca's room in a rush after kissing him, I couldn't stand seeing the look on his face when I broke off our kiss. To me, it felt as if I was deceiving him, and maybe I was. I had kissed him less than thirty minutes after his brother touched me and I felt dirty. The kiss with Luca still lingered on my Lips but it didn't feel right. Not in the way it should have. Not in the way it felt with Saint.And for some reason, my thoughts kept spiraling back to Saint; I couldn't forget the way he looked at me when I was with his brother.Like I had betrayed him.Why does he have this effect on me?
