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 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

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Love of My Life

    Vivian’s POV"Work it, Tommy!" I shouted to my very sexy and about to be very naked boyfriend. He decided to intrude on my friend's bridal shower and is now being punished.The sly smile on his face shows me he is enjoying this a little too much though. My hazel eyes darkened as I bite my lip. Damn! He is so fucking hot and so fucking mine.Tommy is almost six feet tall and all muscles. Not overly large, but definitely toned with a nice six pack. With one pull of his hand, he ripped his shirt off his chest then twirled it in the air. "Like this baby?" He teased me as he continued his Magic Mike performance with three cops also stripping next to him."Hmm, needs some oil, baby." I threw a small penis shaped bottle at him and he chuckled."Really?" His eyes were filled with amusement at the shape of it. Then his eyes caught mine and it seemed as if everyone in the room disappeared.That's how it was with Tommy. Everything just stopped and no one existed when I was lost in his gorgeous bl

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Meeting the Familia

    Vivian’s POVAs promised, Tommy snuck in my bed last night and made me orgasm so many times I lost count. He was so skillful with every part of his body. I often wonder how he learned everything he knew. Was there some class men can take somewhere? He would have aced every one of those lessons.I had one exam today that I knew I passed with flying colors and was now all giddy to meet Tommy for dinner. I needed some answers and last night we did everything but talk. When I woke in the morning he was gone, like most mornings.At first it was perfect. I didn't want any relationships and I loved that he didn't press any boundaries. I was here pursuing my medical degree, far from home and with no family or friends close by.My parents were both lawyers, but died when I was only ten in a car accident. I was in the back seat unable to do anything but watch them bleed out. I knew that was why I wanted to be a doctor. I never wanted to watch helplessly while someone I loved died.Of course, I n

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Taken

    Vivian’s POVI walked to the bathroom in a mess of emotions. I felt like I could just break down and cry which made no sense. I never cried! "What is happening?" I stared at my hazel eyes in the mirror. They were gorgeous and easily my best feature. My hair was light brown with natural streaks of red, which complimented my light brown eyes with hints of orange and green in them. Everyone thought I wore contacts. They were mostly my father's eyes with hazel and green but the hint of red/orange was from my mother. She had dark brown eyes that seemed to hide a small fire behind them. That was the most I could remember about them. Their soft loving voices and their eyes that looked at me like I was their everything. I missed having that feeling."You are very pretty." A large man with a thick Italian accent spoke behind me, bringing me back to a very scary reality. Before I could scream his hand was over my mouth. Why was he here in the lady's room?"I wouldn't try to fight me. I would e

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Then it Was Over

    Vivian’s POVI didn't know the exact time but I knew it had been almost 24 hours. Not one person came to see me. I didn't move much and my stomach was in too many knots to care about the hunger there. All I could do was pray tonight I didn't get tossed around between these men. The silence was driving me crazy. I could hear a pin drop down here. I didn't want any of those men to come back down, but I also didn't want to stay here forever.Then it started. First a few gunshots, then the screaming. I don't know how long it went on for until the basement door burst open. I could still hear fighting upstairs, but my eyes were glued on Tommy. He was covered in blood, cursing at the sight of me. He was speaking to me but nothing was registering. Why was he here? Did he come looking for me? How did he find me?"Baby, are you ok?" He asked, cupping my cheek. I nodded my head with tears streaming down my face. I couldn't find the ability to speak a word. Tommy's phone began ringing and he an

    Niko’s POV"Get her the fuck up!" I ordered with nothing but pure rage for this woman. She laid in a ball covered in blood and a ripped red dress. A fucking coward hiding in the closet while my family was being murdered to save her.My mind flashed with Tommy's words. "I know I fucked up. Promise me you will protect her. I need to know she will be ok. Vow to me brother!" He grabbed my shirt as blood shot out of his mouth in a violent cough. My fucking little cousin, raised like a brother to me, was dying in my arms and all he cared about was that whore that ruined our family."Tommy don't worry about the girl. She is what brought us this fight. Save your breath and hold on for me." My forehead reached his and I held back my tears. I wasn't a man that cried, but watching the only person I cared about in this world die was gutting my insides."It wasn't her fault. Even it was, she was worth it. Vow to me, Niko!" He ordered again. This little shit was going to make me protect her."I vow

  • Consumed by the Mafia   My New Prison

    Vivian POV I was terrified when Niko found me, then I was relieved to be saved, then I was a whole new kind of terrified when he told me I would be punished for their deaths. Whose death and why did he think I caused it? I didn't know any of these men or what they did. I remained locked in a bedroom for three days while a man stood inside my room watching me intently. He didn't speak to me, but his eyes never left my body. I saw a glimpse of Gio standing outside my door whenever a maid brought me food, but like the guard in my room, he didn't acknowledge my existence. After three sun sets and three sun risings I finally decided to shower. I spent most of my time laying helpless in bed while covered in blood and filth. I didn't know why it never registered to me to shower before, but it just didn't. I assumed I was still in shock, and now I was just in utter fear. I walked into the bathroom, closing the door and took a long breath. I knew my guard was directly outside. I was thankfu

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Not Sure What to Think

    Niko POVThe second she whispered, "Tommy is dead" I realized she didn't know. I wanted to smirk at the guilt washing over her. She deserved to feel pain the rest of her life. He was dead and it was her fault.Then she lost it. Her hand smacked clean across my face, rendering me utterly frozen. A woman never so much as raised their voice to me let alone dare strike me. She was screaming what a bastard I was then proceeded to punch my chest. I looked down at this little thing trying with all her might to hurt me. It was laughable how her hardest punch felt like a tickle to my skin. That was enough though. She disrespected me in front of the whole family. She looked like a lunatic, thrashing about and calling me names. I grabbed her wrist and dragged her to her room. I would put her in her place. I can't hit her though. Maybe I could. No, I won't hit a woman no matter how much I hate her.I felt her body drop and noticed she twisted her ankle. I rolled my eyes then threw her over my sh

    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

    Amy POVAll morning my house was in an uproar. Paul fighting with Lucy to stay home, and Lucy fighting with me to go to school. I had really thought once Michael was awake we could ignore all the stupid rules and do what was needed. I knew he would need time to recover, but I didn't fully register how weak he would be. I wanted to ignore that too, but I didn't want to get my brother killed.I needed a new plan, a way to find Declan and give him the death he deserved. He killed my family, the only man I ever looked at as a father. I can't just sit here and do nothing. I can't just wait for Michael to heal and finish the job for me. I needed to act!"Why are you down here?" Dylan walked into the basement, holding a box of donuts and two coffees. "I can't just walk around school and pretend to be fine. There are threats everywhere, even here. Why do you think Paul refuses to let Lucy out of his sight?" I was pacing the floor like a caged animal. My nerves were fried and I was about to

    Michael POV"Come in," I ordered."You needed me?" Paul walked in, looking unamused to be summoned."Take Lucy to school, and from now on, don't make a single order unless I approve it," I said, lying back down. A wave of exhaustion suddenly hit me."If that is what you think is best, boss." Paul had all attitude laced in his words. He was punk for a dinosaur."Do you have a problem with me becoming Capo, Paul? We can easily resolve it." I nodded to Vinnie who walked in behind him. He looked terrified and tried stepping back out the door. "Get in here!" I yelled at him.Lucy rushed out in an oversized shirt and baggy jeans. "What is happening?" She asked, looking at Paul and then Vinnie."Paul is going to take you to school and make sure you're safe. Right, Paul? You seem to like being attached to her side.""We have a meeting you called at 3:30." Paul clenched his jaw. "Unless you don't want your Second to attend. It would be a good way to make us look weak again.""Listen, Paul," V

    Michael POVI was pissed I woke alone but determined to get over this whole recovery process. Two more doctors met me in the morning, neither having the solutions I wanted. "Did you get what I needed?" I asked Vinnie the second he walked into my room. "Wouldn't disobey my Capo." He mocked and threw a bag at me. "Want to bend over and I stick it in you." He chuckled.Both doctors gave me a concerned look but they could go to hell. "They are the professionals and it can go in my arm, jackass." I pulled out the bottle and ordered one of the doctors to come to me."That's not advised." He warned."Wasn't asking." I handed him the steroids and they gave each other a look. "I'll eat plenty of protein, take all my vitamins, and chug nothing other than water, but that can't be all. I need to recover faster. Steroids, facet injections, cortisol, whatever there is, I'm filling my body to the brim with it over the next three weeks. After that, I should be good with my own exercise regime to he

    Michael POV"We needed to draw out the enemy outside the house." She replied, small tears slipping from her eyes."We? You aren't we. You are supposed to be in school. You will not go to another event. You will not take part in any of this..." I grunted, my hand releasing her arm, and grabbed my chest. I had her caged against the wall, but I was no threat."Michael, you should rest." Her hands came to my face, her touch so soft and gentle. "Rest?" I chuckled. "How can I rest when everyone around me has lost their minds?""I'm sorry. I was just trying to protect you." "Protect me? That's not how this works!""You can barely stand." She countered."Amy has already made it very clear that I'm weak. I don't need another lecture." I clenched my jaw, anger fading as I watched those eyes look over me. Concern, fear, maybe even love, staring at me."There's more power in my position than my body. You want to flush them out, then invite them in." I glared at her a moment, wanting to spew not

    Michael POVThe second my eyes opened again I grabbed Vinnie's phone to text him. It hadn't even been 48 hours since I woke up in this alternate universe and I was already stir crazy. I was not surviving months of bed rest.'Send me my doctor.' I texted.'It's almost midnight.' He replied.'Don't care. I need some steroids.' I tossed the phone to the side.It dinged again but I ignored his dumb comments about not needing any more rage in my blood.'Where's Lucy?' I texted back. She should be home, hopefully, this home and not her actual home. 'Safe and sound. I know how much she means to you.' He added a wink at the end and I wasn't sure if he meant because I was somehow obsessed with her, or because of the fake pregnancy.I got up, needing some fuel before I passed out again. The doctor was about to knock as I opened my door though. I stared him down like I wanted to eat his heart out. "You called for me, Capo." He said with a shaky voice. He was old, like really old. "Can you eve

    Lucy POV"This is unbelievable." I shoved Vinnie off me. He was practically sitting in my lap in the back seat of the car."Michael told me to keep my eyes on you all night." His gaze swept over me, lingering at the slit down my chest like a creep."Michael will rip your eyes out if you keep looking at me like that." I clenched my fists in my lap."He'd never kill me," Vinnie shot back, smug.Paul sighed, clearly over it. "Removing your eyes wouldn't kill you. Enough games, Vinnie. We need to focus.""He should stay in the car," I snapped, shooting Paul a look that begged for backup. I hated Vinnie's childish, flirty attitude."Michael just woke up. Let's not piss him off yet," Paul muttered, flipping a page in the book he'd been pretending to read. He was tired of this charade too, but not enough to go against Viv's orders."What's the big deal anyway?" Vinnie asked. "It's a charity gala, not a war zone.""Michael has enemies. It's better to be ready than dead." Paul's tone stayed fl
