last update Huling Na-update: 2025-04-27 22:46:47

I am underneath Asher's weight. He's on top of me, and he's heavy, and the sound of gunshots makes me want to scream, but Asher places his hand in front of my mouth.

Just a second later, the girl we were with started running while screaming aloud, and the sound of gunshots followed her as she ran away from us.

Asher keeps pressing on me for a few minutes, but what feels like hours, until he says, "Shh," and then he stands up.

He groans a little. I'm about to ask him what's going on when he makes this communication with his hands, not saying a word as he keeps telling me to shut the hell up.

We start walking, following Luca on the other side of the way from where the girl had run, and just when we're a few paces away, we hear more screaming, screams of agony before it all goes quiet.

Luca mutters under his breath, "Shit," and then he starts running.

Asher starts running behind him, pulling my hand forward. We're running. I don't know where we're going, but I'm not supposed to be talkin

  • CLAIMED BY THE MAFIA DON   A Tease

    A groan poured out of me when his hand slid further downward and one finger pushed inside of me without warning. “Fuck” She roughly breathed.The sound ran down my spine. He fucked me slowly, in and out, and the pressure built between my legs. My head fell back and my palm came up to his neck, my nails running the length of it. When he tensed, I suddenly realized what I had done and dropped my hand. However, it was already done. I received a smack on the underside of my ass that sent a toe-curling rattle throughout my entire sex. I didn’t think it was a good punishment at all, but then he pulled his finger out of me and a desperate ache remained.A haze had infiltrated my skin, my mind, my inhibitions, and the corners of my vision. I needed one thing, could think about only it, and I wouldn't let him leave before he gave it to me.His legs parted, and I didn’t hesitate to step all the way between them. His gaze lifted and his eyes met mine; the blaze inside them was dark. Our lips w

  • CLAIMED BY THE MAFIA DON   A Tiny Bit

    We stared at each other, neither of us blinking, neither of us breaking until Asher’s voice finally cut through the tension.“Back to the issue at hand,” he said coldly. “I want to know what you were really thinking. I want to know why Luca was here. And I want to know why you were practically naked with him in this room.”I swallowed hard. “I already told you everything.”“No, you didn’t,” he snapped. “You haven’t told me anything. I still don’t understand.”His voice grew sharper, angrier. “I gave you rules about this room. The only person allowed in here is me. And Maria because the only thing she does is clean. But you..... you invited another man into this space. A space that’s supposed to be just you and me.” He paused, breathing heavily. “I want to know what was going through your mind.”“I don’t think you really want to know what was in my mind,” I said quietly.His eyes narrowed.I looked away, shaking my head. “It’s not what you’re thinking. I wasn’t… I wasn’t thinking about

  • CLAIMED BY THE MAFIA DON   A Whor.....

    “I see you’re still keeping the towel tradition.”I turned sharply, heart skipping, to find Asher standing right beside the closed bedroom door. I froze.He was here. Again.Twice in a row.And I didn’t know how to take that, didn’t know what it meant after everything he’d said the last time we were in this room. After he told me to run. I didn’t know whether I should be scared or relieved. Was this good? Was it bad? I didn’t know. All I knew was that I was on high alert, every part of me bracing for what he’d do next. I had no idea what to say in response to his words, so I just stood there silently, wondering how long it would take me to bolt back into the bathroom.“You do know Luca’s not here,” he said, his voice low and unreadable. “So you didn’t have to keep the towel tradition still going.”Luca?I blinked, confused. “What does Luca have to do with this?”“Nothing is going on between Luca and me,” I added quickly. “He told you himself—there was nothing.”Asher pushed off the w

  • CLAIMED BY THE MAFIA DON   Uncle Luca

    I was scared.Terrified of what Asher might do once he got to me. Would he break down the door? Did he have a spare key? Oh my God....did he have a spare key to the bathroom?What am I even thinking? What is this? What am I doing?Panic coils in my chest. I glance at the door....it’s wood. Thick, solid. I don’t think he can break it. But then again… what do I know? The fear doesn't leave. It just boils over, making it hard to breathe.I stay standing until my legs feel like jelly. Until my body’s too tired to hold itself up. So I sit.And that’s how I ended up spending the entire night in the bathroom. Curled up on the toilet seat. Cold. Alone. Waiting.Morning comes slowly, a soft light peeking under the door. My limbs ache. My neck is stiff. My heart still beats with caution as I gather the courage to stand and slowly, nervously, unlock the door.I open it.....and I’m greeted by silence. The bedroom is empty. No sign of Asher.I release the breath I hadn’t even realized I was holdin

    I am tongue-tied.Surprised? Definitely. But more than that....I don’t even know what to say.Luca is the one who finally speaks, his hands raised in a calming gesture. “It’s not what it looks like. I was just leaving.”Asher’s voice slices through the air, laced with venom. “Yeah, I can see that. You were done with her, and now you’re leaving.”My eyes narrow. “What do you mean?” I ask, but his glare lands on me next, sharp and brutal.“Shut the hell up, you whore.”The words punch through me. I blink, stunned.“You think I don’t know what you’ve been doing?” he growls. “You think I don’t know what the two of you have been sneaking around doing behind my back?”“Hey, calm down, man,” Luca cuts in, voice firm but cautious. “I’m not doing anything with her.”“Oh my god,” I whisper, disbelief twisting in my gut. “I can’t believe you.”Asher’s hand jerks back toward me in warning.“I told you to shut the fuck up,” he spits.He turns back to Luca.“So this is what you’ve been doing all t

    What Luca said made absolutely no sense to me—but by the time I opened my mouth to ask, he was already walking away.“Luca, wait! What does that even mean?” I called after him, brows furrowed, with confusion.He turned, letting out a sigh—long, exasperated like he was already worn down by all of this. His eyes met mine with that familiar mix of mischief.“I’m not gonna spell everything out for you, little Ari,” he said, shaking his head slightly. “You gotta put your big girl pants on.”Then he winked.“Alright, I’m off. Ciao.”And just like that, he kept walking. Gone before I could pull another word from my lips.I just sat there, frowning, arms crossed tightly over my chest.“What the hell does that even mean?” I muttered to myself.But the silence didn’t answer. And the worst part? A tiny part of me suspected I already knew. So that night, I made a decision.I was going to try and get Asher’s love back. Whatever remnants of it still lingered, whatever feeling I could pull from him,

    That caught me off guard. “Afraid for him?” he said “Afraid for him?” I asked quietly.He nodded, that faraway look in his eyes again. “I’m afraid he’ll do something he can’t take back. Something he’ll regret for the rest of his life. Not just regret… something that will end him.”He looked right at me, dead in the eye, like he was begging me to understand. Like he was handing me something dangerous and delicate, and trusting me not to drop it.And I understood one thing clearly, my life was not just out of my hands. It was in danger.My eyes drifted toward the room we’d turned into Leon’s study space. And suddenly, I wasn’t just afraid for myself anymore.I had everything on the line.“Do you think he would do something to Leon?”I asked, my voice trembling. “He can’t do something to Leon. Please, Luca… he can’t. He’s not guilty of anything. If Asher wants to hurt someone, it should be me. I should be the one paying for it. So if he wants to do anything, if someone has to take th

    Five Years LaterAsher had left… but not before he made sure I ate every single thing on that plate. Every bite. I was already full, but he wouldn’t let me stop. I had to finish it all. And when the door finally closed behind him, I was already crying, that’s when the sobbing started. Full-on, heaving sobs that racked through my chest until I couldn’t hold anything down.I vomited.Then I just sat there, slumped over the toilet bowl, my arms limp and my cheeks burning, wondering why is my life like this?Why me?It was still so hard to believe that the man I had loved all of my life, the man I had trusted, that this man I thought I was sacrificing everything for, was this man who hated me so much now. It was clear to see in his eyes how much he hated me. All those times that I would hold Leon in my arms and think of the three of us meeting, of him seeing his son, seeing me, the two of us forgiving each other. Him seeing all the sacrifices that I had to make for us, but when I look in

    I go back into Dad’s office. Head straight for the safe. I kneel down, press the familiar numbers, and it clicks open.Same passcode. Same stacks.Still there. Not enough for four people. Maybe not even enough for three if we’re being smart.But for one? It’s more than enough.Now comes the hardest part.The body.I need a body in that room. Something to burn, something to leave behind.I need someone dead Or… already dead.My hands are shaking as I leave the house.I do everything I’m not supposed to know how to do. I get the burner phone. I get the wig, the cheap makeup, the cover identity. I make the calls. I ask the questions that you’re not allowed to ask unless you’ve seen too much of the world.And somehow I don’t even know how...I do it. I get what I need.An already cremated female body. Bagged.
