BLOOD AND BROTHERHOOD

"Your old man's getting restless about you playing house with another family's princess."

~ ALEXANDRO'S POV ~

Mario's words cut through the silence of the Maserati as we sped through Miami's industrial district.

His fingers drummed against the leather seat, a nervous habit he had developed whenever family responsibilities weighed on his mind.

"The Alejandro patriarch wants his heir to settle down?" I asked, unable to keep the amusement out of my voice. "This from the man who's bedded half of South Beach and never met a commitment he couldn't break?"

"Funny." Mario's tone was dry as desert sand. "My father thinks it's time I take over the family name and business. Apparently, being your right hand isn't a suitable career path for a Sicilian prince."

I glanced at him, noting the tension in his shoulders. "And what do you think?"

"I think my father can kiss my ass." He lit a cigarette, the flame illuminating his sharp features. "But he's got a point about you, herm

    THE DEVIL'S DINNER TABLE"Your boyfriend can't save you now, princess."~ LAUREN'S POV ~My heart thrashed against my ribcage as I stared at the threatening text from the unknown number, my hands trembling so violently that I nearly dropped my phone."Your boyfriend can't protect you from everyone, princess. Some monsters wear familiar faces. Sweet dreams. - A friend"I was about to text Alexandro when one of my colleagues burst out of Rosette's hospital room, his phone pressed urgently against his ear."….reporters everywhere," he was saying, his voice carrying down the sterile hallway. "News vans are parked outside and Alexandro Castello is here. The feds are with him."My heart stopped.Alexandro was here? And why were there federal agents involved?I whipped around to face Antonio and Luca, desperate for answers, but they looked just as confused as I felt. Their usual stoic expressions had cracked, revealing genuine concern."I'll call the boss," Luca muttered, already reaching fo

    BETRAYAL RUNS DEEPER"What you get for getting involved with a crazy rich guy like Alexandro."~ LAUREN'S POV ~"Why the hell are you busy playing with your bodyguards when we've all been waiting here like idiots?"Lilac's shrill voice cut through the hospital lobby like nails on a chalkboard, her designer heels clicking impatiently against the polished floor as I approached with Antonio and Luca flanking me.The entire team was clustered near the reception desk, their faces ranging from annoyed to openly hostile. Lilac stood at the center like a queen holding court, her perfectly styled hair and crisp blazer screaming authority she'd never earned."We could have been done with this visit and back to our actual lives by now," she continued, her voice dripping with condescension.Vanessa rolled her eyes so hard I was surprised they didn't fall out of her head. "Oh please, Lilac. She's literally one minute late."But I wasn't really listening to their complaints. My attention was scat

    BLOOD AND PROMISES"Hello, son. Did you miss me?"~ ALEXANDRO'S POV ~The voice on the other end of the line made my blood turn to ice, every muscle in my body coiling like a spring ready to snap.I exchanged a look with Mario, who was lounging in the passenger seat of my Lamborghini, a cigar dangling between his fingers. His blue eyes sharpened instantly, recognizing the shift in my demeanor."Maybe if you were dead I might," I replied, my voice deadly calm despite the rage burning through my veins.Viktor's laugh echoed through the car speakers, a sound that transported me back to my childhood—back to the days when that laugh meant someone was about to get hurt."Still the same little sick bastard your mother ran away with," he said, his Russian accent thick with mockery. "Tell me, Alexandro, how is my dear Isabella? Is she still running? Still hiding like the coward she's always been?"My grip tightened around the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white. "Did you call just to

    THE DEVIL'S INVITATION"You're being disrespectful, ignoring me like this. Naughty girls need to be taught lessons."~ LAUREN'S POV ~The text message from Viktor made my skin crawl as I hurried back to my desk, my mind still reeling from the news alerts about the warehouse explosion. Three people dead. Alexandro at the scene. My world spinning out of control.I started gathering my things with shaking hands, shoving papers into my bag without caring about organization. I had to get out of here. Had to find Alexandro. Had to make sure he was okay."Lauren, what's wrong?" Vanessa appeared beside my desk, her voice filled with concern. "You look like you're about to be sick.""I can't talk right now," I managed to get out, my throat tight with panic. "I just... I have to go."Before Vanessa could respond, Lilac's sharp voice cut through the office noise like a blade."Lauren McQueen!" She stood in the doorway of her temporary office, hands on her hips, looking like a queen surveying he

    {WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING}"You better decide to come or you can kiss your next presentation goodbye."~ LAUREN'S POV ~The conference room fell silent after Lilac's threat, her cold eyes fixed on me like a predator sizing up its prey. I could feel the weight of every stare in the room, most of them hostile, all of them judgmental.Twenty minutes earlier, the team meeting had started normally enough. Lilac had taken her place at the head of the table, clearly enjoying her temporary power as Rosette's substitute. Her designer blazer and perfectly styled hair screamed authority she'd never earned."As you all know," she'd begun, her voice carrying that patronizing tone she reserved for people she considered beneath her, "our beloved team leader Rosette and her fiancé Patrick are currently recovering from their tragic accident."Beloved. Right. The same woman who had made everyone's life miserable for months."Fatimah and I have discussed this extensively," Lilac continued, nodding t
