AURORA'S POV

I couldn’t sleep after Matteo left, my body was still buzzing, loose and warm in all the wrong ways, but my brain wouldn’t shut the fuck up.

That thread he’d dropped about Voss and my dad kept looping in my head like a bad song.

Eight years ago, two years before Dad ate a bullet in some back alley “robbery” that never added up.

I pulled the laptop out from under the bed around one in the morning. The penthouse was dead quiet again, no footsteps, no breathing outside my door

  • CONTRACTED TO THE DON...AND HIS TWIN   POWDER ROOM POLITICS

    The charity gala was different from the first one. No frozen chandeliers or overpriced flowers that cost more than a car payment. This crowd was sharper, hungrier. Less old money pretending to be respectable and more actual power players who didn’t need to pretend. The kind of event where deals got made in quiet corners and everyone smiled like they weren’t holding knives behind their backs. I wore deep red this time. Fitted, dangerous, with a slit that showed just enough leg to make people look twice. Nico’s hand stayed at the small of my back the entire time, warm and possessive through the thin fabric. Matteo hadn’t come, some business he couldn’t skip. I felt his absence through the bond like a missing tooth... that steady warmth gone, leaving only Nico’s cooler edge and my own racing thoughts. We’d only been there twenty minutes when I felt her. She moved through the room like she owned the oxygen. Tall, elegant, black hair swept up in a way that looked effortless but probabl

  • CONTRACTED TO THE DON...AND HIS TWIN   THE EAST ROOM

    I noticed the door on the third week. It was tucked away at the end of the east corridor, past the gym and the rarely-used guest suites. Unlike every other door in the penthouse, this one didn’t have a normal keyhole. Just a sleek digital keypad embedded in the matte black panel, glowing with soft blue numbers. No label, no explanation. The kind of door that screamed you are not supposed to be here. Naturally, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. The first day, I played it cool. I walked past it twice while pretending to explore the place, Maria trailing behind me with fresh towels for the linen closet. I stopped, tilted my head like I was curious about nothing important. “What’s in there?” I asked, keeping my voice light. Maria didn’t even glance at the door. “Storage,” she said smoothly. Too smoothly. “Old things, Mr. Black prefers it kept locked.” “Which Mr. Black?” I pressed, smiling like we were girlfriends gossiping. She gave me a small, polite smile that told me nothing.

  • CONTRACTED TO THE DON...AND HIS TWIN   NO GOING BACK

    I waited until the middle of the night. After Dante left, the penthouse felt poisoned. Every laugh he’d pulled out of me, every warm story, every careful syllable I’d collected sat heavy in my stomach like bad whiskey. I played the perfect wife through dinner...smiling, touching Nico’s arm, letting Matteo’s foot rest against mine under the table...but inside I was screaming. The 24-hour break I’d promised myself? It lasted exactly eleven hours. I couldn’t stay away from the laptop anymore. At 2:17 a.m. I pulled it out again, set up in the darkest corner of the bedroom with the door locked. Headphones in. VPN bouncing like my life depended on it, because it probably did. The new pieces from Dante fit too cleanly with what I’d already found. Voss, logistics. My father as “facilitator.” The $187,000 transfer two weeks before the bullet. I spent the next three hours building the chain, connecting dots I wished weren’t there. By 5:30 a.m, I had it. A direct link, not just an introd

  • CONTRACTED TO THE DON...AND HIS TWIN   THE OLD MAN'S GAME

    AURORA'S POV Dante Black showed up at the penthouse unannounced the next evening, like he owned the damn building. Which, technically, he did. Maria nearly tripped over herself letting him in. I was in the kitchen grabbing a glass of water when I felt the shift in the bond...both twins reacting at once. Nico’s cool edge sharpened, Matteo’s warmth pulled tighter. Then Dante walked in, silver hair catching the light, broad shoulders filling the doorway, wearing that same warm smile from the gala like it was his default setting. “Aurora!” he boomed, arms already open. “Look at you, making this place feel like home already.” I stepped into the hug because that’s what good daughters-in-law do. He smelled like expensive cologne and old cigars. Solid and fatherly. The kind of man who could make you forget he probably had bodies buried under half the city. “Dante,” I said, pulling back with a genuine-looking smile. “This is a surprise, Nico didn’t mention you were coming.” “That’s beca

  • CONTRACTED TO THE DON...AND HIS TWIN   THE THREAD

    AURORA'S POV I waited until the penthouse was completely quiet. Nico had left for some meeting downtown that he only described as “necessary.” Matteo was out too...something about checking on one of the clubs. Maria had finished her shift and gone home. For the first time in days, it was just me, the low hum of the city far below, and the laptop burning a hole under my bed. My hands were steady when I pulled it out, but my stomach was in knots. Jake’s call yesterday had fucked with my head more than I wanted to admit. Hearing his voice, pretending everything was normal while standing in the middle of all this glass and money and lies… it reminded me why I was really here. Not for the fancy dresses or the filthy sex or the way the bond kept cracking me open. For Dad, for answers. For Mom and Jake not having to scrape by anymore. I set up in the corner of the bedroom like always, back to the wall, VPN bouncing through seven countries this time. I wasn’t taking chances, not with

  • CONTRACTED TO THE DON...AND HIS TWIN   NORMAL

    The phone rang while I was standing in the middle of the living room like an idiot. It was Jake’s ringtone... that stupid little guitar riff he’d set as his contact years ago and never changed. My stomach dropped. For a second I just stared at the screen, heart hammering, before I swiped to answer. “Hey, little man,” I said, forcing my voice light. Normal. Like I wasn’t standing barefoot in a twenty-million-dollar penthouse that smelled like cedar, money, and the two men who were slowly fucking up my entire head. “Aurora!” Jake’s voice cracked with excitement on the other end. He was fourteen now, but he still sounded like the kid who used to fall asleep on my floor doing homework. “You finally picked up. Mom said you’ve been crazy busy with the new job.” “Yeah, it’s been nonstop,” I lied smoothly, walking over to the massive windows so I could look out at the city instead of the expensive bullshit surrounding me. “How’s school? You staying out of trouble?” He launched into a sto
