Lucy POV

I held a pair of diamond earrings up to my face, then switched to blue sapphires. It was surreal: me, in this dress, preparing for an event like I belonged here. The halter neckline dipped low from the waist, revealing just enough to feel bold without being inappropriate. The fabric flowed to my ankles with two high slits, the perfect blend of sensuality and sophistication. But it wasn't me.

"Gorgeous, Miss," Marie said, stepping in with a blue butterfly pin for my updo of curls.

Vivian always wore a butterfly or flower in her hair for evening events. And now, so did I.

I was expected to take her place seamlessly, despite the fact that I wasn't married to the Capo, and I was much younger than she had been when she stepped into this role.

"Thank you," I murmured shyly, finally choosing the sapphire earrings to match the deep blue fabric of the dress. My reflection looked flawless with porcelain skin and polished makeup. I had wondered what kind of magic was in the foundation t

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 116 - Final Decision

    Lucy POVI locked my door and paced the floor. I was okay. Safe, technically. But it didn't feel that way.The air in the room was tight. The walls too close. I laid back on my bed and stared at the ceiling like it might give me answers. The sheets felt like a trap. My chest was heavier than it had any right to be.Somewhere below, I could still hear their voices. Or maybe I couldn't. Maybe the whole house was just holding its breath, waiting.I was supposed to be stronger than this.I reached for my phone without thinking. I didn't even know who I was calling until I heard her voice."Hey," I said softly.There was a pause. The kind that meant she already knew."What's wrong?" She asked, her voice so calming I wanted to let go and cry, but I didn't answer. The words were there, clawing to get out, but I couldn't speak them."Lucy?" She pressed."I don't know what I'm doing," I finally whispered through the phone."Is it Michael?" Vivian asked, her voice gentle but steady. That famili

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 115 - The Uncles

    Michael POV"Is that your whore you knocked up? Pretty little thing." Vito smiled like he'd just stepped on something soft and squirming. He'd found a pressure point, and of course, it was Lucy."She's not your concern," I snapped. Vinnie shot me a look that said easy, but I was already turning down the hall. "We have business to discuss.""I think this should stay between close family," Vito called, stopping in the doorway to my office. His eyes slid to Paul with that lazy death-stare he liked to hand out."He's my Second. You know the code." I didn't slow, just dropped into my chair and cracked my neck. Every word out of Vito's mouth had a blade tucked in it. He wasn't here to talk. He was here to find out where the cracks were, what made me tick, how far I'd bend, and where exactly my loyalties lie."Anyone can be Second," Uncle Bruno said as he brushed past Paul, casual as a threat."A simple bullet can end his reign, if he isn't willing to step down on his own," Vito added, lower

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 114 - Nonna's Warning

    Lucy POVThe kitchen smelled like roasted tomatoes, garlic, and fresh bread, all the things that usually meant comfort in a home. But today, here, right now, even the air felt tight.Vinnie threw a dish towel over his shoulders, sleeves rolled up. "Soup's just about ready," he said cheerfully. "Nonna's been putting in the works. Chicken, leeks, orzo."Vinnie nudged me toward the island like I was some nervous stray he didn't want to spook. His hand barely grazed my elbow before he pulled it back, like touching me too long might break something."You're walking like you're headed to a firing squad," he teased, grabbing an apple from the counter and tossing it in the air."Maybe I am," I muttered, snagging a knife to slice an onion, like I belonged here or something.He leaned against the counter, watching me. Not with judgment, just that casual, annoying patience he always had."You don't want to be here, do you?" He nudged a little further. He wanted something and I had no idea what.

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 113 - Yours Now

    Amy POVZander looked to his cock and my eyes widened. He was fully hard again, that sexy vein throbbing and pumping all his blood south. He loved how I completely submitted to him, and it made my insides throb so hard.His fingers started rocking the toy inside me, forcing more moans and pleas from my lips."Please, fuck me." I cried out.He gave me a sharp gaze, silent but undeniable. He roughly grabbed my body that was arched backwards, adjusted me so I was leaning on my elbows instead of palms. His face was indifferent, pissed at me for some reason I wasn't sure of, but he also admired how I let him position me just how he needed. He grabbed his dick, his tip teasing my entrance. He was playing with me, testing me, and I was about to explode with frustration."I can't take anymore, Zander. Please, just fuck me." I begged, tears sitting in my eyes. But the look he gave me told me he didn't like my words. Without warning he thrusted hard inside me, forcing my back to arch more an

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 112 - Need, Not Want

    Amy POVThe second we reached my room, I slammed the door and leaned against it, chest rising too fast."Thank god we got out of that," I muttered, already stripping off my jacket."Are you sure you don't want to be down there?" Zander sat on the edge of my bed, a look of concern all over his face."I would be very happy to never see those disgusting men again." I moved to him, unsure what had him twisted. "I thought you wanted to kill them?" His eyes slowly trailed up my body, dancing along my curves. "I did, but now I don't. See, I can be good." I bit my lip, stepping a little closer to his body. I really wanted him and I really wanted this itch inside me to go away. It wasn't the one for sex, it was the one for vengeance. Despite making my choice, the thought, the hate, still lingered inside me. I needed a distraction, a reminder to why my life can have something good instead of just pain and blood."I've been good all day." I stood in front of him, my thigh brushing against his

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Ch. 111 - Quiet Cracks

    Amy POVThe car ride back from the doctor's office was quiet in that weird heavy way, not like anyone was sleeping, but like we were all waiting for someone else to speak first.I sat behind Paul, angled slightly toward the window, watching the rows of dull, weather-worn buildings slide past. I didn't mind the silence. Sometimes, it felt good just to breathe without being told how to do it.Zander sat next to me. His hand wasn't quite touching mine, but it rested close enough that I could feel the heat from it. His presence always ran hot. Quiet intensity just under the surface, like he was holding in a storm but didn't want to make a mess.Michael sat across from us with Lucy, his eyes locked on her more than anything else outside the window. I didn't blame him. Something about Lucy felt... off. Not just tired, but folded in on herself in that way that meant she'd decided not to explain anything anytime soon.I knew that look. I'd worn it for most of my life.But Michael didn't seem
