“I’ll… give you some space,” Tessa murmured, shifting on her feet.

I caught her hand before she could leave. “You don't have to go,” I studied her with a frown on my face.

The awkward smile on her face, the way she nervously rubbed her elbow and stared down, avoiding my gaze didn't go unnoticed.

She had never excused herself whenever I had a session. If anything, she'd stay around to ensure I was comfortable with the procedures.

But now, with the way her eyes darted around, but

    LEONARDO I shoved the conference room doors and strode out without looking back, each one of them too stunned to say a word. “Get every caporegime on the line,” I instructed Matteo who immediately reached for his phone. By the time we reached the car, the first call connected. “Don.” “Listen carefully,” I said, my voice hardening. “Effective immediately, Porto San Marco is under lockdown. I want every road leading from the port into the city blocked. Trucks, vans, motorcycles—I don't care what they're driving. Nothing leaves that port unless it belongs to us.” “Yes, Don.” “Set up checkpoints at every exit. Search every vehicle. If you find Russian cargo...” My jaw clenched. “Burn it.” Another voice came over the line as Matteo merged the calls. “Yes, Don.” “Hermano,” I called. He was the caporegime responsible for every operation running through Porto San Marco, including the processing warehouse. “Don, I was meaning to call you. Every shipment we've sent has been turned b

    LEONARDO “What the fuck is so urgent that it couldn't wait until tomorrow?” I seethed, striding through the massive warehouse doors without slowing. My shoes echoed against the concrete floor as Matteo fell into step beside me. “Don,” Enrico, the dock supervisor and motherfucker that interrupted my moment with my woman earlier, hurried up to me. This better be fucking important or else… “You need to see this, Don,” he said, leading the way into the back office. He held the door open and I stepped in, the sharp smell of gunpowder and raw cocaine hitting me instantly. I scanned the room where the smuggled drugs were stored before being distributed down to the clubs and all I was met with were empty wooden crates. “What the fuck is this? Where are the fucking shipments?” “Today's shipment never made it into storage—” “I can fucking see that! What's delaying it?” I barked, my patience hanging by a goddamn thread with each passing second I stood here without knowing where the fu

    TESSAThroughout the three-hour-plus drive back to his penthouse, Leonardo held me in his arms.I nuzzled my face into his chest, breathing in his familiar scent that always seemed to make everything feel okay. My hands curled slightly into his suit jacket and every now and then, his fingers would glide through my hair or trace slow circles against my back.Neither of us said anything, the silence between us more comforting than any words would have been. My breathing evened out as my eyelids became too heavy to keep open.I must have drifted off at some point because when my eyes fluttered open, I realised the car wasn't moving anymore.I stirred a bit, his arm still around me as I tried to make sense of my surroundings. I sat up, rubbing my eyes with the back of my palms before I noticed his gaze on me.He tucked his phone away in his pocket then he reached up to brush some strands of hair that fell all over my face.“I fell asleep?” I asked groggily, still trying to rub the remna

    TESSA My lips parted, but before I could fully wrap my head around what she'd just said, a knock sounded on the door, snapping me back to reality. We both turned towards the door, just as it eased open. “Morning, sweetheart,” mum said with a warm smile as she stepped in. “I was wondering if you were awake yet.” “Um, yeah…,” I muttered absentmindedly, my thoughts still tangled in Ella's words from moments ago. I didn't deny it, because deep down, every part of me already knew. I got up from the bed to give her a hug and a kiss on her cheek. “Good morning, mum.” She smiled, brushing a loose strand of hair that fell from my messy bun away from my face. “Oh, and there you are,” she turned to face Ella. “I've been looking everywhere for you. The workers are about to start taking the luggage down to the car,” Mum continued. “Go check your room one last time to be sure you're not forgetting anything before we leave, okay?” “Oh, alright,” Ella said, rising to her feet. She leaned

    TESSAI headed back to the main building first, a smile still playing on my lips despite my efforts to hide it.The house was still quiet as I slipped in and I let out a little sigh of relief that my parents weren't up yet. I didn't want to start explaining where I was last night.I tiptoed up the stairs, carefully opening the door to my room to avoid it creaking loudly and eased in, trying to close it as quietly as possible. I exhaled slowly, my shoulders relaxing as though I'd just pulled off the perfect break-in.“Where have you been?”I jumped, my heart lurching into my throat as I whipped around to the sound of the voice.“Christ! Ella, you startled me!” I exclaimed, pressing a hand against my racing heart. “What are you doing here?” I asked, watching her throw her feet off the bed.“I came to return these a while ago…” she said, pointing at the heels and the handbag she borrowed yesterday before her eyes met mine again. “...but I realised you weren't here. Where were you?”I tr

    TESSA The soft morning light spilled in through the window, casting a warm golden glow on the side of Leonardo's face. His eyelids were shut, his breathing evened out but even in his sleep, his arms wrapped protectively around my waist, pulling me closer to his chest. I couldn't help myself from tracing the slightly overgrown stubble on his chin, letting my fingers wander across his face. He looked effortlessly flawless and breathtaking, like perfection in human form. My hands moved lower to his bare chest, trailing the center of his chest till they came to rest above his heart once again. I slowly shut my eyes, feeling the steady rhythm of his heart on my palms. My chest squeezed painfully as the vulnerability I saw in his eyes last night resurfaced in my memory. I could never imagine what he had to go through as a child no matter how hard I tried. Being born into this type of life that already took the fun out of his childhood before he could even experience it was

    TESSA His claim to me. I feared that I just made the worst decision of my life. And maybe it was. “I…I…you…ju…,” I stammered, my lips parting but the words refused to form. My mind went blank, crashing like glass under the weight of his revelation. He was the Mafia. Not just a murderer, not a ma

    TESSA What?! My breath hitched as I held the documents in my hands, not believing what I just read. I was caged between him and the walls behind me. His body barely inches away from mine. I tilted my head up to be able to look at him, my mind drawing blank at our close proximity. His hair fel

    TESSA I knew I was treading deadly waters but I couldn’t understand the pull I felt. He was the type that was preached to avoid. My mind and my body were a conflicting mess. Funny. Now I know the power the devil has on humans. It’s not destruction. He simply just grants your deepest desires. And

    LEONARDO“It's perfect,” she whispered, a tear sliding down her cheeks.I lifted my hand, wiping the tears away with my thumb. I couldn't bear to see her cry. Not for any reason. “You're perfect,” I corrected. Not the ring, not the gifts, nothing could compare to her. Absolutely nothing.My eyes d
