Lucy POV

I thought I was brave, running after my best friend, trying to save her life. I was just stupid though. My face stung from being punched by a large man, my eyes burned from crying for so long, my heart ached both from the fear inside me and the fear I had for Amy.

To top it all off, my savior in this horrible mess, was Michael. The one man I feared more than anything else in this world.

Michael searched the dead men that took us, the men he killed. He flipped their bodies like they were just piles of blankets, pocketing their cash and credit cards.

"Find me and pick me up!" Michael barked into one of the phones then dropped it on the floor.

"Are we going home?" I asked shakily. Michael seemed to be in the zone. It was like I could actually see his mind weaving his next move, and it terrified me.

"No speaking!" He ordered, grabbing my wrist to head out the only door this dark cold place had.

For a brief moment my body relaxed. His large hand wrapped around me, tightening to

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 17 - Silent Storm

    Amy POVI woke to a pounding skull, my limbs sluggish, my tongue thick in my mouth. A chemical taste clung to my throat.My eyes blurred in and out of focus, a soft leather beneath me, the scent of wood and whiskey in the air. Memories hit me like a slap to the face. The party. The Irishman. The rag over my mouth.My stomach twisted. I wasn't home. I wasn't safe. Why was I so reckless?"You're awake... finally." Kyle mumbled as he ruffled through papers on a dark oak desk. "How long have I been asleep?" I glanced at the window, the sun hidden in the sky. I needed to get a grip of what was happening. I didn't feel in danger, but I wasn't stupid either. This wasn't my house and I was drugged and dragged away in the middle of the night. Kyle glanced at his watch. "Almost 5 hours."I took a moment to take in my surroundings. Michael always taught me to know all possibilities. My mind tried playing out different scenarios, different approaches and outcomes, but I was too impatient for ga

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 18 - Truth

    Michael POV "Holy crap! We are actually alive." Lucy's hands carefully touched every little detail of the dashboard.I let out a slow breath, my grip tightening on her waist before I even realized it. It wasn't intentional, I just needed to feel something solid.She was solid. Alive. I hated how much relief that gave me."Who's the chick?" Vinnie chuckled, amusement in his eyes as he watched Lucy drool over his pride and joy. "No one important. Drive!" I ordered him, sliding my hands off Lucy and grabbed his phone from the middle console and began typing away. I needed answers, and I needed the location of my sister."Are you going to fill me in?" Vinnie questioned after ten minutes of suffocating silence."My Uncles aligned with Declan. They attacked Niko's mansion and took Amy." My grip tightened around his phone. "We need to move fast." The phone rang through with five messages, giving me a moment to relax the homicidal rage I fought to hold back. One of my contacts replied that

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 19 - Shock

    Lucy POV My stomach twisted the second we pulled up to some building that was barely standing, the streetlights flickering like they were moments from dying, and the eyes. Too many eyes. People on the sidewalk slowed as they passed. Some whispered. Some just stared, their faces unreadable. We didn't belong here. I sucked in a breath. "Michael, this... this doesn't feel safe." He didn't even look at me. "We're fine." "Are we?" My fingers tightened around my dress. "Because everyone out there is staring at us like they want us dead." "That sounds racist," Vinnie chuckled, unbothered. He popped open the door like we were in some friendly neighborhood. I grabbed Michael's wrist before he could move. "Don't. Please. We should go home." Finally, he looked at me. A smirk played on his lips. "Jesus, Lucy. You shake like a leaf every time you step outside your gated life." "This isn't paranoia," I hissed. "It's common sense!" He exhaled, glancing out the window. A few men had stoppe

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 20 - More than I Thought

    Michael POV"Any leads?" I asked Vinnie, walking into his room that was across from mine. "I think you're right about your Uncle in Texas. He has been hosting a few Irish at his house the past few months. And get this," he turned his computer to me. "Killian arrived here months before you met with him, and guess where he flew into?" "Texas." I clenched my jaw. Every move I made was one my Uncles pushed me to make. I was so focused on killing Niko that I lost sight of everything else. I had never imagined Amy to be alive this whole time though. I was so fucking blind. I let them guide me, let my own thirst for revenge cloud every instinct I had. And now? Now my sister is gone, and I have no one to blame but myself."Yup!" He spun the computer back around and began clicking away. "We will be there in three days and he will tell me everything." I shook my head, pissed I missed all this. "I'm not sure if Amy is there though. My gut is telling me Killian has her." Vinnie eyes were sc

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 21 - Pleasure in Sin

    Amy POVAfter hours of watching the man that lied and kidnapped me, Killian finally moved from his desk to get me a large plate of food. The tension between us was getting to be unbearable, but I found it amusing. I had no idea where I was or what intentions this man had for me, but the mystery and danger spark something inside. "Is there any chance I will be going home anytime soon?" I asked, breaking the awkward silence once I finished my meal. "I haven't decided." Killian suddenly stood and nodded to the door for me to follow."When or if, I will be going home?" I asked coyly."More like where your home will be." His eyes narrowed at me, making me swallow hard. His hand slowly wrapped around my arm as if he was testing my reaction. My tongue licked my lips, eyes watching his thick fingers completely cover my skin. Probably not a good idea to make him think I liked this, but I was always a bit reckless.His lips cracked a sly grin and he moved us out of his office."This is your

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 22 - Too Much

    Lucy POVWhispered arguments filled my ears as I moaned into the pillow. My body was heavy with exhaustion, but I felt... peaceful. That was weird."The so-called innocent Scarlet is awake," Ariel sneered.I stiffened at the sound of her voice. The second we met, she made it clear she hated me."Don't test me," Michael snapped, his voice edged with warning.Ariel rolled her eyes, slamming her laptop shut. "Oh, relax. I'm just saying...""What is everyone doing?" I cut her off, stretching under the covers. My muscles ached, but it was nothing compared to the mental exhaustion of last night."Waiting for the princess to wake up so we can actually get shit done," Ariel muttered, stuffing her laptop into her bag.Michael shot her a look, the kind that could shut down a grown man. "Ariel," he warned.Her smirk widened, but she backed off.I yawned and tossed the blanket off me, only to freeze when I saw what I was wearing. A silky pair of shorts and a loose button-up shirt. Not my clothes.

    Michael POV"You ready?" Vinnie asked. Everyone was waiting next to an oversized SUV. I looked over the car and regretted my decision for us all to travel together. My main focus had to be on getting Amy back, then killing every Irishman, then killing my Uncles, and lastly, taking down my greatest enemy: Niko. But we had a lot of land to cross over, and time to waste in a large car. It could be spent in a more pleasurable way."Michael!" Vinnie tapped my shoulder when I didn't respond. My head was definitely not in the game. I needed to change that."Yeah, almost. Lucy is changing." I opened the door and began setting up my laptop. Ariel plopped down beside me and I shook my head at her. That girl didn't know when to quit, but it would probably be better having her next to me than Lucy. Whenever her body was touching mine, I just wanted to feel her. This fucked up crush, or whatever I had with her, was becoming too much of a distraction."Are we really taking her to Texas? She's go

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 24 - Playing All Sides

    Amy POVA deep hum vibrated beneath me, rattling in my bones.My skin was warm, my body sore in ways that made me shiver. Last night flashed through my mind, Killian's hands, his weight, the way he owned every inch of my body.I inhaled sharply, blinking awake. My vision cleared and face twisted. Clouds? What the fuck? My stomach dropped and pulse lurched. I was in the air. I was on a fucking plane. I sat up too fast, gripping the armrests. The cabin was dimly lit, sleek leather seats and polished wood lining the space. A private jet.And across from me, Killian sat, calm as ever, sleeves rolled up, scrolling through his laptop like this was any other day for him."Where are we?" My voice was hoarse, my heart still pounding.He didn't look up. "Not your concern. Eat." My hands curled into fists. "Excuse me?"This time, he did look up. Slow. Measured. Unbothered."Eat, Amy. Don't make me repeat myself."I was thousands of feet in the air. On a fucking plane.Panic rose in my throat.

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 74 - Graduation

    Lucy POVIt was a quiet and very awkward ride to School. Zander tried making conversation, noting how this was our last moment as Seniors. It felt more surreal than anything to me. Almost as if I was brought back in time to relieve this day. I was no longer a Senior or teenager the day those men snatched me up. "Where is my brother?" Amy asked Paul with scorn."He is resting but will be there before it starts. I got Viv on standby too. All the kids are excited to see you get your diploma." Paul spoke cheerfully but it was met with nothing but hate from Amy. She didn't say anything else about it because I don't think she could be mean to her Aunt and cousins like she has been to all of us. "I can't believe I'm graduating again." Dylan laughed and we all looked at him confused. "I'm ordered to stay close to the package." His knee tapped Amy's and she turned to look out the window. "I thought I would at least get a smile. You're really that pissed about going?" He said, sounding annoy

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 73 - Breaking

    Amy POVI hated that everyone tried to calm me down. I had every reason to be pissed, and every reason to keep them at arm's length. "Amy, this is our day. I don't want to leave and I don't want to walk down that line without you and Lucy at my side. Can't we just pretend we are still friends, just for today?" He gave me those deep brown puppy dog eyes. Zander had a clean-cut navy suit on, his hands in pockets, and his hair purposely styled that cute bedhead look. "I can't." I fiddled with my dress on the bed. "I just want to be alone. It's easier that way." I admitted. "You've been anything but alone lately." Zander jabbed at me, and I knew it was about me sleeping with questionable men. "You know what I mean." I sighed and turned to him. "Can you please just go home? I don't want to go tonight with you or Lucy. I don't want to go at all." "I know you miss them, Amy. Niko and Viv would be here if they could. They weren't your only family though." He tried reasoning with me."It

    Lucy POVWatching Michael at dinner was both terrifying and exhilarating. He held so much sway over hundreds of people. And now he held all their money too. I don't think I would have the balls to do what he did, and I definitely wouldn't have helped hack so many accounts if I knew this was the end game. I had to trust him though. We were in this now, and there was no turning back."You should get dressed." Michael appeared behind me, his hand smoothing over my dress. "I don't think I should leave. It feels wrong." My body trembled slightly. I was afraid to leave his side. I was afraid of what waited for me beyond his protection. He declared war, and I was an easy target."Paul will be with you every second. My men are already positioned at the school and have eyes on every inch of the stadium. Go, graduate, and enjoy this moment. I'll make sure you are safe." He promised and I did truly feel safe knowing he was watching out for me."Are you coming?" I looked back to him over my sho

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 71 - Bold Statement

    Michael POVI pulled out the chair positioned to the right of mine. "Lucy," I nodded for her to come. Not only was it polite and damn swoon-worthy to hold out her chair, but putting her on my right gave her a higher position than some damn mistress I knocked up. Plus, that move should remove any chance of Jared so much as trying to speak to her again. She was mine and no one touched her.Vinnie moved to my left and I gave him a cross look. He can't take the position of my Second, not yet at least. Vinnie cracked a smile and pulled the chair out for Paul. I turned to my seat, half rolling my eyes that Vinnie was still being a wise ass. The games needed to end.I stood behind my chair, waiting for everyone to settle. Only those officially in the family were in this room. All the others had a more party-like setting outside. Amy stood at the door, arms and ankles crossed, daring me to kick her out. I didn't miss the glances at Lucy from her either. "Thank you everyone for joining us to

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 70 - Michael's Game

    Michael POVThe tension from everyone around me was thick, and suffocating, but I had to ignore it. We all had our positions and if we didn't make every move exactly right we could all end up dead. Paul spent the next hour spreading whispers of betrayal, he conveyed his absolute disgust of my decisions to any that would hear. It would grab the attention of Niko's men and start a small riot within their ranks. Vinnie was the smart-ass jokester both unwaveringly loyal to me, and crazy enough to start a blood bath in my honor. Niko's men would never align with him, or trust him with a plan. But that would open the door for those disloyal within the Grasso's to take him under their wing. Amy played both sides by acting as the scared lost girl, someone tough who wanted revenge even at the cost of her life, but also someone who loved her brother dearly. She should be removed from all sides and none will be able to fully trust her. Last was Lucy, the one person in all this mess who was i

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 69 - Prepare

    Michael POVI don't know what this woman was doing to me, but I didn't want it to stop. I needed her in a way I never needed anyone. She was always in the back of my mind, for months I found ways to single her out in my torment, but then it turned into something more, a touch, a kiss, a need. Now, since I woke from that night my whole world flipped upside down, I wanted her in a whole new way. "Help me get dressed?" I said casually as I grabbed my suit from the chair. Her dress was under mine and I couldn't wait to see her in it."Of course." Lucy jumped right up and followed me to the bathroom. I definitely didn't need help getting dressed, but I definitely needed to see her naked again."You like?" I watched her unzip the bag, revealing a sophisticated but sexy white dress. The neckline was to her collarbone, concealing those beautiful babies in her chest. I knew she didn't like revealing too much skin, and I preferred it that way too. I had enough jealousy swarming inside me with

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 68 - Falling

    Lucy POVThe moment I walked inside there was chaos everywhere. It seemed like hundreds of workers were renovating the house and I really just wanted some quiet. "I'll head upstairs. Maybe he won't wake until 3." I looked to Vinnie and Paul."I already sent him a text you were on your way because the dinosaur failed," Vinnie said and I closed my eyes. "Are you that afraid of him or just want us to get our asses handed to us?" I shot back at him. He was annoyingly loyal to Michael."Hey, I'm just doing my job. I don't need to get shot over this crap." Vinnie put his hands up in defense."No one is getting shot!" I yelled back, frustrated and so damn tired of this life. I half ran up the stairs, preparing my body for a fight that I didn't want to have. If I wanted to come home, I should be able to come home, and no one gets shot because of it.But the second I opened the door I froze. Michael was sound asleep in my bed, with no shirt or bandage over his long scar down his chest. I do

    Lucy POV"Michael ordered you to stay in school. I can't bring you home until 3:00." Paul quickly followed behind me to the car."I don't care what Michael ordered. I'm not part of your world and he isn't my boss." I yelled back at him."Lucy!" He reprimanded me, grabbing my arm and guiding me into the car."I'm sorry." I took a deep breath. I knew of the dangers of defying Michael. Not that he would hurt me, but if others overhead. He can't look weak."Just take a moment then head back in." He tried to de-escalate my boiling tantrum. "I can't, Paul. I want to go home." A few tears slipped and the car got quiet."I know this is hard and not what you want," Paul said carefully, probably hoping not to make me cry more. "Once we weed out who is behind the attacks we can all go back to the life we want." I looked him over for a minute, sadness taking over that he too was sacrificing for Michael. "Do you miss Gio?" I asked softly."We've been by each other's side since we were kids." He

    Lucy POVIt was strange being here, like it was a place I knew but didn't really remember. It wasn't too long ago that this was my norm. Monday through Friday I came to this building, gossiped, and joked with my friends. I went from class to class, worrying about nothing more than the next test or quiz.Now, it felt foreign. I didn't even remember what class I had during the fifth period. I was about to leave until I saw Zander in the hall. The second our eyes caught I felt a wave of relief. It was like my old life suddenly came rushing back to me."Hey, you came." He walked right up to me and hugged me tight in his arms. "It's been hell here without you." He admitted, squeezing me in his arms then let go. "High school was never all that much fun. I appreciate it though." I tuck my hair behind my ears, feeling a little out of place but comfortable now I found a friend."It was always better with you and..." he shrugged before finishing. "Is she here?" I looked around the halls. Ever
