DAMIEN’S P.O.VAs if it wasn’t enough to have a goddamn hurricane rampaging through my head, I now had to juggle three ticking bombs to get rid off.First off, I had figure out a way to clean up the fucking mess Camille had stirred. The mess of a marriage. I knew I agreed to get married to her, but hell no….It was meant to be a fucking truce and not some fucking ass dream come true.I couldn't believe Diego, that figlio di puttana was jamming it down my throat like it was the golden solution to every mafia truce known to man.He wanted to still keep the ties between our families running, but I hell knew what his true intentions were.I could smell the rot of deceit from afar and this fucking marriage was nothing but a leash to keep me in check.I was lost in thought when my door slammed opened and I snapped my head to see the second problem of the day, storming in.Skylo.Skylo, the one bastard I trusted more than my own blood yet, he was starting to get on my nerves just like every
DANTE's P.O.V“You know the man she was speaking to?“ Tracey asked, looking slightly betrayed.“Yes,” I breathed, stressed “I do know him.”I noticed as her shoulders dropped in defeat. She looked at me like she was just realizing something ugly. “You’ve known someone’s been leaking info to him?”“I had suspicions,” I answered coldly. “So, why didn't you act on it?““That would have been a stupid move to take. Tracey, whatever information you had just given to me is not enough in this world. You don’t shoot until you’re sure who the traitor is. You wouldn't want to create more enemies for yourself. “ I explained, even though I knew damn well it was pointless explaining to her.She was such a sensitive bitch. “And what if it’s too late by then?” she snapped. “Ann’s living under your goddamn roof, Damien!” “You think I don’t know that?” I barked. “You think I haven’t been watching her? You think I sleep peacefully at night?““But that doesn't change the fact that she lives in here…wi

TRACEY'S P.O.VHe didn't speak immediately. He tilted his head slightly, staring at me in a way that made me feel like I was being dissected.A loud sigh echoed across the room. “Is this a riddle, Tracey?” he asked, his brows drawing slightly together. “Because I’m not in the mood.” He sighed.I shook my head. “It’s not. Just answer, please.”He exhaled, gaze narrowing, my eyes glanced at his hand which were placed on the desk, his fingers tapping against the hard wood in a rhythmicnway that made my stomach churn.A pause.“In my world, Tracey... care is luxury and hesitation gets people killed. If someone plans something behind my back, regardless of who it benefits….they become a liability. And I do not tolerate liabilities.” He said cold and sharp.I felt the heat crawl up my skin as he continued. “Even if it's benefits you and you get to protect people you love?“ “If it benefits me? That’s where it gets dangerous, Piccola.“ He paused.I was staring back at him, watching as his
TRACEY’S P.O.VThe damn time you never expect the day to wiggle away so fast… it does.I blinked awake to a brand new day, the sunlight spilling through the thin slit in the curtain like it had a personal beef with me. It landed directly on my face, hot and aggressive, and I groaned, turning away from the reflection.I hated mornings like this.Mornings that were loud enough for my thoughts to scream and drive me insane while I lie still, unable to do nothing.I was still lying on my bed, just staring at the ceiling, breathing in the heaviness that was pressing against my chest. I had woken up feeling sore, my mind reeling with the bugging discussion I had with Robert last night. God…If Robert knew…No no….I had to speak to Damien.I thought. I had to listen to whatever he had to say before making a decision and honestly, every part of me wished I could delay that conversation until the sun burned out. But I knew what delaying it would mean.This wasn’t about me anymore. Neither wa
TRACEY'S P.O.V I didn’t even remember how I got back to my room. It felt like my feet moved on their own. My head was buzzing too loud to hear anything else. My eyes were blurry as heck. I barely noticed anything as I moved past the stairs. The second I shut the door behind me, I leaned against it and let out a shaky breath, my legs were too weak to keep standing, so I slid down slowly until I was sitting on the floor, knees to my chest, like a kid hiding in the corner of a classroom. What just happened? What the hell just happened? Robert had just looked me dead in the eye and told me that my father and sister were alive. That I could see them again. That I had a choice. But it wasn’t really a choice, was it? It felt more like I was being blackmailed by him. If I wanted to see them, I had to walk away. Leave everything behind. Let go of Damien. Of Skylo. Of Katya. Of this house, this chaos, this twisted new life I was beginning to… understand? Or maybe I was just gett
