Both St. Just and O’Grady worried about Bianca’s health after the detectives had left.

Knowing that she was pregnant again, their concern had intensified, and they led the white-faced, shaken Bianca to the bedroom. She leaned against O’Grady, too utterly spent to walk, and he scooped her into his arms and carried her upstairs.

As the Irishman deposited her gently on the bed, she clung to him, her hands digging into his shoulders as she tilted her face to his and whispered,

“Liam, I… Am I responsible?”

He felt a deep pain in his chest as he lowered his bulk beside her and said softly,

“Ah, lass… Heather has been avoiding you for some time now. The old woman just would not listen to you…how are you to blame?”

He kept his voice low as he stroked the brown tendrils off her forehead and cheeks. She sighed and burrowed into his chest.

  • A Pet for the Mafia Dons   The Captain

    The Captain was a long way off but not too far away to see the overturned vehicle by the side of the road.And the man in the brown trench coat who was shuffling along towards it.The Captain sighed in relief. There were still Good Samaritans in the world, he thought at first. But then, his gaze sharpened.Something about the way the man ahead was moving, dragging his feet, made alarm bells go off in Captain Ethan Davis’s head. He was limping, and as Captain Davis drove closer, he saw something in the man’s hand which made his blood run cold. A rifle. A long hunting rifle. But who would go shooting in the dead of winter?And at a deserted area like this, with the snow coming down heavily?What was equally suspicious was the fact that the man was wearing a hat, much like a Stetson, and dark glasses, and he suddenly remembered the description that Bianca Cruz had submitted at the station a few days ago. Barry, the man who worked as the security head at O’Grady’s place, had come in

  • A Pet for the Mafia Dons   Threatened!

    When Captain Davis was leaving the town, his mind was in a whirl. He had been called away to Thomastown and had attended a long meeting with political bigwigs. Nothing new, he thought grimly, just political bosses trying to lord it over the men in uniform, reminding them that overspending was not on. Feeling chuffed, the handsome blonde Captain was not aware of the snowfall, which was growing heavier. He wanted to get back home to Hollowford before nightfall. Jamie had been ecstatic when she called him, breathless as she shared the news,“Ethan, they saved my Mumma,” she had half whispered, half sobbed over the phone. the Captain had clenched his cell phone tightly as he listened to her sobbing softly before she went on.“Pappa…he…he killed that man, that monster who had bought…” her voice broke over the words,” my Mumma…”The Captain nodded grimly.Lucien Delano was a piece of work, alright, thought the Captain drily. First, he had gone and cheated on his lovely, angelic wife, the

  • A Pet for the Mafia Dons   Brakes Off!

    St Just and O’Grady were charging after Louis to get into the vehicle with Claude, responding to Piers Delano’s shout.The Don had killed El Toro, almost effortlessly, the Irishman reflected in awe. All during the epic fight, O’Grady cupped his hands over his mouth, his eyes screaming wonder, while St Just stood, his hands behind his head, emitting a low whistle.“The Don…Saint, I swear by all that’s holy, Sweet Jaysus, but that man… he’s simply incredible,” said O’Grady, in a voice like a reverential prayer.In his mind, O’Grady kept going over the moves that had helped Lucien Delnao to win. The Mafia Don had played El Toro, leading him on, making him feel like he had the upper hand. The Don had been allowing his adversary to throw punches, feinting some, and cleverly, cunningly, making El Toro weaker. That had been when Lucien Delano had gone in for the kill, snapping the burly South American’s neck so very easily, it looked like a laidback task. Only Liam O’Grady, a professional bo

  • A Pet for the Mafia Dons    Flash Point

    Liam O’Grady was in the desert with his brother. The hot sun was beating down on them.But the mood in the Delano camp was euphoric.They had managed to get Proserpina Delano freed from the maniac that was El Toro.And it had happened after its fair share of drama.With bated breath, awed and full of disbelief, they had watched as Lucien Delano, the ageing Mafia Don, had calmly stripped off his shirt after tossing his jacket to the dust as he prepared to take on El Toro in a man-to-man fight.The Mafia Don had challenged El Toro to a hands-on fight, just the two of them.Lucien Delano’s body was gleaming with sweat but there was no getting away from his musculature. The bunched muscles on his shoulders, the perfectly sculpted abs.O’Grady, a boxer in his own right, although he did not have the huge experience that Lucien Delano had, of course. But watching him fight, the intensity, the power behind the Mafia Don’s punches, the way he moved lightning swift, all of it made O’Grady stand

  • A Pet for the Mafia Dons   Gearing Up

    All that night, Bianca lay, alternately sleepless or thrashing in her sleep, which was filled with terrifying dreams.When dawn finally touched the tops of the trees in the park, Bianca stood at the window, her white and haggard face drawn, but a new determination filled her heart. She was going to learn to shoot, even if it meant that she had to go down to the shooting arena to learn.*Putting her plan into action took some manipulation. Her Masters had only sent a cryptic message. Bianca gathered that they were on their way to South America to rescue Proserpina, who had apparently tried to commit suicide by slitting her wrists. Bianca’s heart went out to the woman who had been so kind and gentle, supportive and loving when Bianca had been in turmoil.She hoped fervently that the Don’s Woman would be able to safely make it out of the terrible place she was in.Barry, already under pressure after the death of one of his men, was reluctant to take Bianca to a shooting arena to learn.

  • A Pet for the Mafia Dons   The Stalker

    Still and unmoving, the man called Snake stood in the near-deserted park that he had taken to haunting these days. The disfigured man was dressed in a long overcoat, his misshapen skull hidden by a large hoodie and his face obscured behind large dark frames, even though the sun had set. To avoid running into curious people who stared at him in bafflement because of his strange appearance, Snake kept to the bushes, avoiding the dog walkers and odd joggers who chose to come out at sight. As the shadows lengthened, Snake stepped out of the gathering darkness to wait at his favourite spot. The man with the scarred face, missing an eye, usually stayed till night, staring up at the windows of the large apartment building opposite, across the road.Bianca’s window lights came on. He could see her moving around before, as an afterthought, she crossed swiftly to the windows to draw the curtains with a practised flick of her wrist. Snake took a deep breath. The light had fallen upon her fl
