I quickly realize James has no idea who Don Federico is. It's obvious from the frown on his face and his furrowed brows that James thinks the don is just some random bystander.

I mean, Don Federico is basically a legend to normal people. Before I met him at Biggie's, I wouldn't have believed someone so young could be in charge of the criminal underground. Considering how important he is, I would bet only high ranked members of the mafia have seen Don Federico before.

Which also means James isn't as important as he thinks he is.

Still, James does have the good sense to let go of me. His good sense runs out there—James turns to Don Federico.

"Dude, don't go butting in where you don't belong. This is between me and my girlfriend," James says.

Don Federico doesn't even look at James. The don's eyes are solely on me.He offers me a hand.

"You dropped your things," Don Federico says simply.

"I'll grab them," I quickly reply.

The don smiles. "Please do so."

  • Chosen by the Vampire Don   #Chapter 13: A Pet's First Taste

    "Don Federico," James breathes out quietly. His eyes suddenly grow wide and wild as he glances at the don, then his father, and finally at me.I take a page out of Alessia's book and smile. James is finally realizing just who the man I'm working for—the man he claims "took me away"—is.If I wasn't basically a glorified servant at an important party, I'd say something like, "Yes, this is the legendary mafia boss, the King of the Underground World, Don Federico."But all the other servers and assistants have remained quiet tonight—unless they're directly spoken to—and I've already committed enough social blunders. I just have to settle for that wonderful expression of slowly growing fear James is wearing.It's a pretty good backup prize.Don Federico swirls his wine glass, eyes cast down at the two men bowing at him. But the don doesn't seem like he's even really looking at them—like they're not even as important as a speck of dust."I suppose I can give this man a light punishment for

  • Chosen by the Vampire Don   #Chapter 12: Spilled Wine Is Not A Fashion Choice, But It Is An Invitation

    Despite my harsh words, James doesn't lash out. I forgot that he can be extremely patient at times—he's been so strange to me these past few days. But as he takes a deep breath to calm himself, I'm reminded that I do know him.I've seen this action a thousand times during little arguments during the years. Even when we were angry at each other, James always was careful to not let his temper flare. It's a small habit I learned to love.Seeing him repeat the action now makes my heart ache.James finds my eyes. For a moment, my breath catches."Do you really think I care about the words of a nobody?" James states evenly. "Hailey, you're so pathetic and beneath me. You're like a wounded dog—do you think anybody cares about what an injured dog thinks?"I'm so stunned by his sudden change in demeanor, I can't even curse him out. Seriously, how the hell did I manage to misjudge someone so badly? How the hell did I miss that James was a horrible person?My rage comes back to me as I stew in t

  • Chosen by the Vampire Don   #Chapter 11: Wine is For Drinking, Not Wearing

    Federico couldn't believe how rude some of these guests were behaving. Is it because they're holding the banquet at his friend Capo Matteo's estate? Perhaps Federico will need to hold future parties at his own estate so that no one below him grows too comfortable.For now, a glare sends the louder mafia men quickly excusing themselves to talk business with other guests—guests that are, conveniently, on the opposite side of the banquet hall.Matteo claps a hand on Federico's shoulder. "Lighten up," he says. "The boys meant no offense."Federico discretely checks no mortals are within earshot. Seeing none, he sighs."I miss the days of royalty," Federico says. "Lesser people did not act so boldly when they called us lords.""Didn't you have people start calling you 'the Mafia King' after your third life as Federico?" Matteo says with a smile.Federico just grunts. Matteo may be his closest friend, but that doesn't mean they have to dwell on everything. Especially not when they both know

  • Chosen by the Vampire Don   #Chapter 10: Of Beds and Banquets

    "I'm aware of that," I say, my eyes trailing down to his hand on my neck. The pressure he's applied is strong and firm, but not enough to choke me. So, against my screaming instincts, I don't struggle—I can't risk Don Federico grabbing me tighter, even by mistake.My answer seems to take the don off guard. The look of intense anger is still there, but it's softened by surprise. Even his grip on my neck feels a little softer.I take a deep breath and gather my courage. I can't lose my nerve now."You have a very important banquet to attend at 7 PM, Don Federico," I say slowly, channeling every bit of my customer service training in this moment. "Unfortunately, that means you can't sleep until 5 PM like usual—not if you want to be ready and on time for the banquet. So I've woken you up at 2 PM today, sir, so that you can have time to prepare."For one horrible moment, I fear that the don is going to pop my neck like a grape. But then his anger fades and his face shifts back into that nu

  • Chosen by the Vampire Don   #Chapter 9: A Bakery Breakfast Turned Bitter

    Alessia stands completely still as Federico makes himself known. Though since it's been a long time since she first met him, she is still as memorized by him now as she was all those years ago.What she wouldn't give to have the one who sired her finally look at her and her alone—forever, and until the end of time. She's always been chasing the mafia don and trying to chase the heart-pounding moment of when he deemed her fit to receive the blessing of becoming a vampire."You—you're different," Federico had whispered in that wonderful, almost raspy voice of his. Federico had been the first to see what Alessia had always known to be true—that she was the most capable, beautiful, and powerful woman to ever exist.And then he brought Hailey here. Hailey, and not Alessia herself.Alessia sits straighter and meets Federico gaze with an innocent smile. "Very well, I can explain, Brother Federico—your new maid has offended me. Since she's no one special, she should be disposed of."Alessia f

  • Chosen by the Vampire Don   #Chapter 8: A Terrible Breakfast and An Even Worse Wine Tasting

    I nearly jump out of bed as I wake up from my nightmare. It takes me a good minute to get my breathing to even out, but afterwards, I feel okay.Mostly. Though my injuries from the other day are all healed up, I actually feel more tired than rested."I hate nightmares," I mutter to myself, waiting to see if I might get a little more energy back the longer I'm up—I have no such luck.It seems like the stress dream left me exhausted. And, even worse, I know I should get ready for the day.I can't let Don Federico claim I'm not upholding my end of the contract.The dining hall is reserved for Don Federico and his guests, so my meals are brought up to my room by a servant. Today's breakfast is a simple omelet and a cup of fruit.The servant who brings my meal can't be older than eighteen. He looks like he should still be in school."Good morning," I say, summoning as much cheer as I can muster. "I'm Hailey. I'll be staying as Don Federico's personal assistant from now on."The teen frowns
