Bound To The Devil's contract Chapter 17 : Crossing The Line
The Rossi estate had never been this quiet. Not peaceful. Controlled. Every guard stood at attention. Every servant kept their eyes on the floor. No one spoke above a whisper. Because everyone knew. The Boss was angry. I felt it the second I came downstairs. The air was heavy. Like right before a storm. I’d only wanted coffee. Instead I found myself frozen on the second floor balcony, looking down into the security room through the glass. Six captains stood in a circle around the table. Marco was in the center. He hadn’t spoken yet. In the middle of the table sat one thing. A silver cufflink. Mine. "We've checked every camera," Enzo said. He looked like he hadn't slept. "Nothing." Marco didn't answer. "The north wall wasn't breached," Enz
Bound To The Devil's contract Chapter 16 : A missing piece
The drive back was quiet in the wrong wayRain dragged lines down the windows and Marco sat in the back with his arms crossed, replaying Dante’s voice on loop`Don’t get attached`He made a sound in the back of his throat"Ridiculous"From the front Enzo glanced up at the mirror"Boss?""Nothing," Marco saidEnzo didn’t push itThe convoy slowed as the iron gates of the Rossi estate came into view, black and tall and wetBut something was offMarco noticed it first, the guards at the entrance weren’t moving, they were standing like statues, hands at their sides, eyes forwardToo still"They’re expecting us," Enzo said quietlyMarco leaned forward"Pull up"The car rolled to a stop and one of the guards stepped forward immediatelyHe looked young, maybe twenty-two, and he was sweating even though it was cold"Boss," he saidMarco opened the door before the driver could"What happened"The guard swallowed"We, uh, we have a problem"Marco didn’t answerHe just waited"About two hours ag
Bound To The Devil's contract Chapter 15: Tell Me Something
The rain hit the black sedan in sheets, sliding down the tinted windows in slow lines. Manhattan blurred past in gold and wet concrete. Marco sat in the back, one hand resting on the leather armrest like it belonged there. The other hand turned Dante Alighieri’s card over and over between his fingers. Black stock. Heavy. No address. Just a name, and a time. A restaurant every family in New York knew and none of them owned. Neutral ground. Which meant it wasn’t neutral at all. Enzo’s eyes flicked up to the rearview. “You want us inside with you, Boss?” Marco didn’t look up. “If Dante wanted me dead, he’d have sent a bullet, not a card.” “Yeah,” Enzo said, “and if it’s a trap, he’ll send both.” That pulled a faint smile out of Marco. He slid the card into his inner pocket. “Then it’ll be an expensive mistake for him.” Enzo didn’t smile back. He just nodded and kept driving. The car slowed in front of _Bella Notte_. The lights were off. The valet stand was empty. The
Bound To The Devil's contract Chapter 14 : An Invitation
The last contract hit the desk with a soft thud and Marco didn’t even look at it. "Send it to Milan. Tonight.""Yes, Boss." His secretary took the folder and was gone before he could change his mind.The door opened again thirty seconds later. "Shipment’s at two," the guy said. "Warehouse Seven.""Move it to Nine.""Nine’s got a leak and Seven’s got cops driving by every hour.""Good, let them drive." Marco closed the file. "By the time they get a warrant there won’t be anything left to find.""Yes, Boss." Footsteps. Door. Quiet.Finally.Marco reached for his coffee and it was cold. Of course it was.The door slammed.He didn’t look up. "You should knock.""I did," Leo said from the doorway. "In my head. It was very respectful."Marco set the cup down. "Was it.""Yeah, I said ‘may I come in, Mr. Rossi, sir’ and everything." Leo walked in anyway, hands in his pockets, looking around like he was waiting to be impressed. "So this is where you run everything from, huh? Not as fl

The lock clicked at 6am.Leo didn’t move. "If it’s food, leave it.""It isn’t."Marco.Leo opened his eyes anyway because ignoring him felt more dangerous than looking. Marco walked in without knocking, charcoal suit hugging every hard line of his body, black shirt unbuttoned just enough at the collar to show the sharp cut of his collarbones. He dropped the folder on the table, shrugged off his jacket, and rolled his sleeves up slowly, exposing thick, veined forearms."What is that.""Work.""Why is it in here.""Because I’m working in here today." Marco’s voice was low, calm, and final. He pulled out the armchair and sat, thighs spreading wide as he claimed the space like he owned it. Like he owned *everything* in it.Leo sat up slowly, the sheet slipping down his bare chest. "...You’re joking.""No.""So I’m what, your office now.""For now." Marco’s dark eyes flicked over Leo’s torso for a beat too long before returning to the folder.Leo stared at him, heat already crawling unde
Bound To The Devil's contract Chapter 12 : The Brother
Leo slammed the book shut not because the story was bad but because it wasn’t his, because someone had left it there for him just like the fresh clothes folded at the end of the bed and the hot meals that showed up three times a day and the locked door that never opened from the inside. Comfortable, trapped, and somehow that made him angrier than chains ever could. The lock clicked. Leo didn’t look up. "If you’re here to tell me to eat don’t, I’m not hungry." The door opened anyway and footsteps crossed the room. "You skipped breakfast." Leo leaned back in the chair and crossed his arms. "I wasn’t hungry." Marco Rossi. Charcoal suit, black shirt, sleeves rolled to his forearms like he’d just come from something and hadn’t bothered to fix himself. He looked at the untouched tray, then at Leo, then picked the whole thing up and carried it to the door. "It got cold." "You came back because my food got cold?" "I don’t like waste." "Liar." One corner of Marco’s m
