Deangelo's POV

My hands were locked around Vincenzo's throat, his face turning an ugly shade of purple, when I felt a sharp pain pierce into my arms. Silvia and Romano, their faces contorted in anger and horror, were pulling me away from the foul-mouthed bastard, their combined strength completely overpowering my fury.

I stumbled back, gasping for breath, the adrenaline slowly disappearing, leaving behind a troubling feeling of shame and self-loathing. I still wasn't able to control my shit, and all that people saw it, it made the situation more damn embarrassing than what I was already going to.

Silvia was saying something, her voice inaudible, her face tight with worry, but I couldn't focus. It was like everyone was shouting and no one was at the same time.

The air around us seemed as thick as the ocean. Hard to breathe, and no one was saying anything again.

The only sound we could hear was Vincenzo choking on the bed and the rattling of the chains connected to his wrists,

  • BEAUTY AND THE MAFIA BEASTS   Ch. 139 THE BOXES

    Deangelo's POV The security guards, clearly eager to be rid of the mysterious packages, nodded and hurried to obey, placing the boxes softly onto the nearest desk. A few laptops and notebooks went flying, crashing to the ground with a loud thud. "Now what are you waiting for? Get the hell out of here and don't show your faces again!" I added with all my anger. The security left as fast as their feet could carry them without dropping the gun they had on their hips. They ran out of the room, as if they were being chased, leaving me alone with the boxes. I stood frozen in that position, my hand resting on the edge of the desk, feeling the strange pressure making my head spin. My head filled with the creepiest possible pictures, and I tried to shake them out of my head. I just hoped that it wasn’t human heads that were inside the boxes; that would be too cliché. I just had to resist it and think of something useful. What if this was a test? As if answering my thoughts, the light

  • BEAUTY AND THE MAFIA BEASTS   Ch. 138 THE DISCOVERY

    Rosita's POV My head felt like a goddamn jackhammer was going to town inside. My eyes were glued shut, but I forced them open anyway. An unfamiliar room came into focus, all plain light brown and germ-free. Not a single damn thing looked familiar. All of a sudden, my eyes traveled to the tube, a transparent plastic tube snaking its way into my right wrist. Panic climbed up my throat. I didn't remember shit, just a pair of hands dragging me, then... pitch-black. I didn't give a flying fuck what was in that tube, I yanked it out. The needle tore a hole, and bright red blood blossomed around the wound, staining the bedsheets. I clenched my teeth against the pain, a familiar sting in a world gone sideways. I threw off the covers, ready to run out of here, but my legs wouldn't cooperate. They were weighty and useless, like lead pipes. "Fuck! Mija! Mija! Dolores!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. The poison... had it come back? Was this how it ended? Paralyzed, in some shithole

  • BEAUTY AND THE MAFIA BEASTS   Ch. 136 THE OFFER

    Rosita's POV The ropes rubbed against my wrists, biting into my skin with each wild yank. God, I hated Don Fernando, this was all his fault. Dolores and I struggled, our bodies moved in a difficult dance of fear. We needed to escape as soon as possible. Finally, a strand gave way in Dolores’s wrists, and adrenaline pumped through my veins as her fingers brushed against mine, then darted to her legs, working quickly to untie the rope on her feet. She was behind me now, her breath hot against my neck as she struggled with the tight knots binding my hands. "Hurry up," I mumbled. "We need to get out of here before that hungry beast comes back." Sounds gushed in from the hallway, battering the both of us. We froze in that position, feeling shock and fear as we sighted the don. "That's not a very nice way to address someone who's offering you hospitality," the Don commented, his voice soft and dangerously entertained. "I'm not a monster. I just want to help you, but in exchange f

  • BEAUTY AND THE MAFIA BEASTS   Ch. 135 HIS STEPMOTHER’S DEMANDS

    Deangelo's POV It was like a breathing competition for the first couple of seconds, neither of us willing to break the silence. At that point, I did. I pulled the phone to my ear and, with a forced calm that contradicted the anger inside me, "Are you finally ready to state your terms, you old hag?" She chuckled, that high-pitched, grating sound that always set my teeth on edge. "You are not in a position to make threats, boy, not after seeing what I have distributed at different locations throughout the country." She paused, enjoying the moment. "And not just that. You might have been able to save your father's life with the help of one of your minions, but I still have a little gift for you by the end of this call." A low growl rumbled from my throat; I couldn’t take her annoying voice anymore. "Get to the fucking point!" "Patience, darling, will you?" She spoke as if I was a child throwing a tantrum. "I have been planning this for years. I'm not going down without a fight. F

  • BEAUTY AND THE MAFIA BEASTS   Ch. 134 THE DON OF STREETS

    Rosita's POV Ice-cold water was splashed on my face, taking my breath for a second. Every pore on my skin slammed shut, and I felt that kind of cold that had nothing to do with the weather. My eyes snapped open, and there he was, the new owner, hovering around me, the iron bucket banging against the floor like an evil omen. "What are you doing in my house, Esplendido (gorgeous)?" he demanded, his arms crossed, a frighteningly calm expression on his ugly face. "Who are you?" The cold water streamed down my face, plastering my hair to my forehead. I coughed, the cold clinging to the back of my throat. "We… I… I didn't know," I stammered, each word a shaky exhale in the frosty air. "This was…my friend’s apartment. I didn’t…know that the landlord had rented it out to someone else." I swallowed hard, lifted my chin, and boldly met his gaze. "If you let me go," I pleaded, "You will never see my face again, I swear." He laughed; his laugh bounced around the room and scraped against
