CONTRACTED TO THE DON...AND HIS TWIN SHORTER
I walked back into the penthouse with the folded paper still in my pocket and the full weight of Irina’s words sitting heavy in my chest. The place was quiet. Too quiet. I had hoped for a few minutes alone to breathe and put my face back into something normal, but Matteo was already there. He stood by the big windows in the living room, arms crossed loosely over his chest, watching the door like he had been waiting for a while. The second our eyes met I felt it through the bond... that cold, settled thing he had picked up on while I was gone. It was not sharp panic or hot anger. It was quieter than that. Heavier. Like something inside me had locked into place and he had felt the click from across the city. He didn’t smile. He didn’t move toward me right away. He just looked at me with that quiet, knowing expression that always saw more than I wanted anyone to see. “You’re back,” he said. His voice was calm, but there was a question underneath it. “Yeah.” I set my keys down on the s
CONTRACTED TO THE DON...AND HIS TWIN MEETING IRINA
I met her in a quiet café three neighborhoods away from the penthouse. Not one of the shiny places the family used for meetings or appearances. Just a small corner spot with scratched wooden tables, faded posters on the walls, and windows that looked out onto a narrow side street where almost no one walked by. I got there early on purpose and chose a table with my back to the wall so I could see the door. My coffee sat untouched in front of me, growing cold. My phone stayed face down on the table. No one knew I was here. Not Nico. Not Matteo. Not even Maria. The whole walk over I kept checking behind me without making it obvious. The document from the study still sat heavy in my chest. The four words Irina had sent still echoed in my head. Now I was about to sit across from the woman who had somehow reached me through a channel that should not have existed. My hands stayed steady on the table, but my pulse was faster than I wanted it to be. Irina walked in ten minutes later. She loo
CONTRACTED TO THE DON...AND HIS TWIN FOUR WORDS
The message came in the middle of the afternoon, when the penthouse was quiet again and I was alone in the living room with a half-finished cup of coffee that had already gone lukewarm.I had been sitting by the big windows for a while, trying to keep the morning’s perfect performance going even after Nico and Matteo left for their separate things. The document still sat heavy in my chest, solid and sharp, but I was breathing through it the same careful way I had all morning... steady, controlled, no cracks showing on the outside. My phone buzzed once on the cushion beside me. The soft vibration made me glance down without much interest at first. Mom sometimes texted around this time to check in. Jake would message if he needed something small or just wanted to complain about school. I picked it up expecting one of those ordinary, safe messages from the life I still tried to protect.It wasn’t either of them.The number wasn’t saved in my phone. It wasn’t one I recognized from anywher
CONTRACTED TO THE DON...AND HIS TWIN MORNING
I woke up before both of them and just lay there for a long time, staring at the ceiling in the soft morning light. The document from yesterday sat heavy in my chest like a stone I couldn’t spit out no matter how hard I tried. Dante’s words. Voss’s reply. The date sitting four days before my dad died. The shape of everything was clear now, sharp and ugly, but I had decided last night that crying was for later. So I got up quietly, pulled on a soft t-shirt and some shorts, and went to make breakfast like it was any other normal morning in this penthouse. Maria was already in the kitchen when I got there, humming that old song she liked while flipping bacon in the pan. I smiled at her the way I always did and took over the eggs, cracking them one by one into the hot pan like my hands weren’t still remembering the way the laptop had clicked shut under my fingers. The smell of coffee filled the space, rich and familiar. I poured three mugs and set them carefully on the counter, then lean
CONTRACTED TO THE DON...AND HIS TWIN I WOULD BE READY
I waited until the penthouse felt completely empty and still. Nico had left for some meeting across town. Matteo was handling something else. Maria had gone out to the market with her usual humming and shopping bags. The silence wrapped around me like a heavy blanket as I slipped into the study and sat down at the big desk. My hands were already shaking a little. I had been searching for weeks now... careful little checks when no one was looking, always deleting my history, always covering my tracks. Today something in my gut told me to dig deeper into one of the older shared folders Nico sometimes left accessible.I clicked through the files slowly, heart hammering in my chest. Most of it was boring business stuff. Contracts. Shipment logs. Emails about deals that meant nothing to me. But then I saw the folder labeled with Voss’s name. My breath caught. I opened it and started scrolling.There it was.A communication between Dante and Voss. Dated four days before my father died.It w
CONTRACTED TO THE DON...AND HIS TWIN NEVER WANT TO STOP
MatteoI have always been the quieter one. The observer. The steady current that runs underneath Nico’s storms. But Aurora changed everything the moment she walked into this penthouse. I remember it so clearly. She stood there with her chin up and her eyes sharp, trying so hard to hide the fear underneath. When she reached for my water glass without asking... just picked it up and took a sip like it was the most natural thing in the world... something deep inside my chest cracked open. No hesitation. No playing small. She just took what she wanted in that small moment. And I have been falling for her ever since. Quietly. Devastatingly. The kind of fall you don’t come back from.This morning after the night we shared only made it clearer.I woke up slowly, the sheets tangled around us, her scent still heavy in the air. Nico was out cold on the other side of the bed, one arm stretched toward the empty spot where she had been sleeping between us. I lay there for a long minute, just breat
CONTRACTED TO THE DON...AND HIS TWIN JUST STARTED
AURORA'S POV The laptop showed up at six-fifteen. Some staff girl I didn’t know...not Maria, dropped it on the corner desk and bounced without saying shit. I waited till her footsteps disappeared down the hall before I moved. Brand new, still wrapped in that plastic sleeve. Top-of-the-line shit,
CONTRACTED TO THE DON...AND HIS TWIN RULES
Nico came back at noon. I knew because the entire penthouse seemed to tighten the moment he walked in... staff moving a little faster, voices dropping, the air itself feeling heavier. I was in the library pretending to read a book I hadn’t turned a page of when I heard his voice in the hallway, lo
CONTRACTED TO THE DON...AND HIS TWIN MORNING
I woke up alone in the middle of the enormous bed, sheets tangled around my waist, morning light cutting cold and white through the floor-to-ceiling windows. My body ached. Not just a little soreness...deep, throbbing reminders between my legs, on my hips where fingers had gripped too hard, on my
CONTRACTED TO THE DON...AND HIS TWIN COMPLICATED
Nobody moved for what felt like forever. Matteo kept walking toward us, slow and quiet, like he owned the air in the room. I stood there clutching the front of my half-undone dress, heart hammering so hard I could feel it in my throat. “Okay,” I managed, my voice shaking more than I wanted. “Some
