I'm Grateful

AURELIA

Brutality always unsettled me. I couldn't stomach it. I never understood people whose orbit rotated around invoking violence.

The blood of a man—the man who attacked me earlier—was splattered on my face.

I waited for the acerbic bile to rise in my throat, followed by the goosebumps breaking out on my skin, and an impending feeling of guilt that I'd just watched a man die because of me. But they never came.

Violence, blood, and gore squirmed me. I'd pass on a good movie if it had these triggers, and bat more than an eye when met with one. Yet, this time was different.

I'd watched every second of Vincenzo beating the shit out of the attacker.

I could have stopped him, but I didn't, not because I was frozen to the ground, but because I didn't want to. I didn't stop him because I loved every bit of watching. From the bone-cracking sound of Vincenzo's fists connecting with the skull, down to the drops of blood splattered on my face. Even the way his muscles tightened— I loved it.

  • Caught in the Mafia King's Web   A Good Man

    He paused, staring into space as if searching deep into his memory. Then he spoke out. “I don’t know who it was. They were anonymous.”Anger flared through my chest. “Even when you were offered money?”He shook his head again, “W-we never met them.”When he assessed my reaction and saw I was starting to lose my tolerance, he broke down.“I swear! That’s the truth. If I knew, I would’ve told you,” he sucked in his breath as if choking on his miserable tears. “P-please have mercy!”He wasn't lying.Frustration rippled through me. It always came to this—always a dead end.Every name I’d crossed out of the list never had a hint of who was the mastermind, even right before I had their life brutally taken away from them, they never gave a name.The culprit had covered his tracks so carefully and neatly till the very end, like they knew someone would come searching for them.But there was always a loophole, a mishap in their plan. I just needed to find it.Having no use for the fat pig in fro

  • Caught in the Mafia King's Web   I Want A Name

    VINCENZOI had a life-long mission, one I’d sworn to myself to fulfill, even if it ended up killing me.It was a promise I made to the murdered Vittore family.I’d come up a list, procured with the help of one of most brilliant investigators. It came with a grand price, but it never shook me. I was ready to give my fortune to feel the blood of the culprit stain my bare hands. Hands that would murder their living offspring.In the outskirts of Naples, a home hid deep within the woods. It was neither modest to belong to an average man, nor grand enough to catch attention. Its seclusion was its defense, nestled around towering cypresses and oaks, their skeletal branches spreading into the night sky.My driver parked far from sight, leaving me to navigate the narrow dirt path leading to the house. The house stood eerily quiet, its wooden walls weathered, a faint golden glow seeping through the large curtains. He really thought no one would find him here.I had a hand in my pocket, holding

    Matteo's eyes followed my gaze, and his face paled when he saw her."Shit!" he swore and rushed to her side. Helping her off the ground, he peeled off his suit jacket and wrapped it around her trembling body. "Are you okay?"She didn't speak or even look at Matteo. Her eyes were only focused on me, and that irritated me.Zoning out from whatever trance she'd been in, she blinked and looked back at the body on the floor. A visible shudder ran through her as she muttered. "I'm fine."She stepped closer to me, and I immediately noticed the blood matted to the side of my head. Instinctively, I shot an arm forward and touched her with my bloodied head. She didn't flinch. Something flickered through her eyes, and a foreign feeling clawed at my chest."Take her to the clinic."Two of my men were already in the restroom and rushed to her, gently moving her out of the room. She glanced over her shoulder one time before she left.Matteo crouched down to the man and checked his pulse."He's dead.

  • Caught in the Mafia King's Web   Hungry For Blood

    VINCENZOThe original plan for this game night was to discuss and finalize a business deal. Yet, somehow, Aurelia had stolen the spotlight, making the night revolve around her.Perhaps I got too excited to elicit fear in her, allowing myself to drift away from the main purpose of the night. Now, she was deeply engraved into the confines of my mind.Even after she left the room, her presence lingered in the air, leaving an unbearable mark in its wake.I despised everything she stood for. As the daughter of my greatest enemy, and an unsufferable, unavoidable brat, she evoked no room for mercy or sympathy.Her fate was sealed from the very moment I sunk my claws in her. It would end in her death, and my face would be the last thing she'd see.Matteo cleared his throat, darting a questioning glance in my direction, before facing the guest of the night- Dante."What an entertaining night this has been." Matteo drawled, his tone laced with humor to keep our guests at ease.He did the persuas

  • Caught in the Mafia King's Web   A Painful Death Awaits Me

    I could breathe easily as I stepped out of the room. The cut from the knife Vincenzo had tossed at me still stung like a bitch, but it managed to stop bleeding.I asked a nearby guard for the restroom and was directed there. The moment I got in, I turned on the tap and splashed cold water on my face.Suddenly, all the fear, frustration, and anger I'd bottled up crashed over me. Tears streamed down my face as I gripped the edge of the basin, my knuckles turning white.Exhaustion weighed heavily on my shoulders as they shrank in defeat. The truth was, I wasn't strong enough.The thought of how lonely and helpless I was brought painful memories of Luca.Pain shot through my heart, like I'd been pierced with shards of glass.If Luca were here, we'd have run away from Father and lived our happiest lives.All I ever wanted was freedom from my father, but life had taken its cruelest turn. I heaved a sigh. I'd never felt so suffocated in my life.Once I managed to pull myself together, I wiped
