DAMIAN

Matteo leaned over, close enough for me to catch the faint scent of smoke lingering in his hair. His eyes flicked across the screen, and a smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. “So… what now, brother?”

I grabbed the pack of cigarettes from his hand, the paper crinkling beneath my fingers. Lighting one, I exhaled slowly, watching the smoke curl like a ribbon across the dim light of the room. The show had begun.

“When are you meeting him?” Matteo asked, eyes sharp, unblinking.

I glanced at him. Matteo could be reckless, impulsive even, but tonight our goals aligned catching Ricardo.

“Don’t tell me you don’t trust me, brother,” he said, a flicker of seriousness in his gaze that made the usual playfulness fade.

I let a small smirk form. “Yes… I don’t.”

He raised an eyebrow, leaning back, studying me. “Come on. We’re talking about Isa here. You know I won’t hurt her. Let your guard down. Right now, I just want to find that motherfucker who wants to kill my Isa and destroy him.”

  • Claimed by My Brother’s Best Friend (A Mafia Romance)   CHAPTER 71: No Escape

    MATTEOHer throat convulses around me as I shove deeper, her muffled gasp vibrating against my skin. Tears brim at the corners of her eyes, streaking down her flushed cheeks, her nails digging into my thighs as if clinging to salvation.I yank her hair tighter, forcing her head still. Pathetic. She thinks she can resist me, that her weak struggles will save her. Her mouth belongs to me now.She tries to pull back, desperate for air, but I push harder, reveling in the wet choke that escapes her lips. “That’s it,” I murmur, my voice low and sharp, “service me properly.”Her throat works around me, unwilling, clumsy. Not nearly enough. Not yet. I’ll train her until she breaks, until she learns exactly what pleases me.When her body starts to tremble, I release her for a second. She jerks back, sucking in ragged gulps of air, her chest heaving. But mercy is a luxury I don’t grant twice. I grip her hair and slam her mouth back down, using her as I see fit.Her hand flattens against my lap

    RICARDOThe boardroom was silent except for the low hum of the projector and the shuffle of papers. My executives droned on about profits and expansions, but my mind wasn’t there. Not tonight.Then my phone buzzed. One glance at the screen and my pulse stopped. Matteo.That bastard. What game is he playing, messaging me at this hour?I unlocked it, already bracing myself. But nothing could have prepared me for the image staring back at me.My sister. My blood. On his lap.The room tilted. She was supposed to be safe in my mansion guarded, untouchable. And yet there she was, her face blurred in the dim light of a club, her body pressed against that devil’s chest.A message followed. If you want to save your sister, make a deal with me.The phone nearly cracked in my grip. “Fuck!” The word ripped from my throat, echoing across the glass walls.All heads turned. Fear flashed in their eyes, executives glancing at one another like sheep sensing the wolf among them.“This meeting is over,”

    DAMIANI leaned in close, the barrel of my words pressed sharper than steel. My lips curved into a cruel smirk.“Tell me, Valentina…” My whisper cut through the air like venom. “…how do you think your father will feel when he learns I put a bullet in his only daughter’s skull?”Her breath stuttered. Terror glazed her eyes, wide and frantic, the bravado she carried crumbling into ash. I savored it the way fear bled into her veins, trembling through her voice when she finally spoke.“You… you won’t dare,” she rasped, chin tilting, though her hands quivered at her sides. “You know what it means if you kill me. You’ll begin a war.”I chuckled, low and cold, the sound more dangerous than the silence that came before it. “War? Did you just mention war?” My voice hardened as I stepped closer, forcing her back against the edge of my desk. “This war started the day your father had the audacity to put a bullet in mine. The day he stole what was his. Killing you isn’t a beginning, Valentina it’s

    MATTEO““Boss, do you think Richardo will help us?” Andrew’s voice broke the silence, quiet but heavy with unease.I didn’t turn. I stood with my hands tucked in my pockets, staring out at the glittering sprawl of Paris. The city pulsed beneath me like a living beast, every light a reminder of power, of what I could take and crush if I chose. My jaw tightened as Richardo’s arrogance replayed in my mind his smug tone, his daring to cut the call short. We will see in my office. His words echoed like a slap.How dare he.The metallic click of my lighter sliced through the quiet. Flame kissed the end of my cigarette, and I drew in a slow breath, the smoke curling lazily around me before fading into the night air. The bitterness on my tongue steadied me. “He has no choice, Andrew. He’ll do it.”Andrew shifted behind me, the scrape of his shoe against the floor betraying his nerves. “And if he’s cunning? What if he turns against us?”A sharp, humorless laugh ripped from my chest. “Then I’ll

    DAMIANThe heavy oak doors groaned as I pushed into my office, already tasting the bitter calm of solitude I craved. But the moment I stepped inside, I froze.She was here.Valentina.Naked, sprawled in the dim light of my office like temptation itself, her body gleaming as if she had been waiting for me. Her hips swayed with deliberate intent as she moved closer, a wicked smile curving her lips.“Damian,” she purred, her voice a silk thread winding around my throat. “Don’t you miss me?”My smirk came without effort, cold and sharp. “What are you doing here?”If only she knew. If only she understood that I had already drawn the blueprint of her family’s destruction and hers included. She thought she was playing me, but tonight, she had just made my work easier.“I told you never to come uninvited,” I said, my tone a blade of ice.“But I am your woman,” she countered, sliding her hand to my belt, her nails grazing against me.I caught her wrist mid-motion, squeezing until her smug expr

    DAMIANThe silence stretched, heavy and suffocating, until it wrapped around Williams like a noose. His breathing quickened, shoulders trembling beneath the weight of my words.“Choose, Williams,” I said, my tone low, deliberate. “Their lives… or your silence.”His lips parted, stammering. “I I don’t know… I don’t know who to choose. Please… don’t place me in the hot seat.” His voice cracked, sweat dripping down his temple.I leaned back, letting a cold smirk tug at my mouth. Richard stepped closer, bending to whisper something in my ear. I listened, then rose slowly from my chair, the scrape of wood against the concrete floor loud in the tense room.“It seems your loved ones are here,” I said, my voice like ice cutting through the air. “Perhaps if I bring them in, you’ll finally speak.”Joe broke instantly, his knees hitting the floor with a thud. “Stop! Please stop! Don’t bring her in. I don’t want my daughter to see me like this. I’ll talk!” His desperation spilled out, his hands s
