Thank you everyone who's come back for Book 2!! My first book, written a few years ago, was the very first mafia romance I ever attempted, and I was beyond grateful for the love it received. So many of you enjoyed Vivian and Niko's story, and I'm thrilled to finally return with the next chapter. This time, we continue the journey through Michael and Amy's perspectives, now that they've grown into their own roles in this dangerous world. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I'll be uploading two chapters a day, since that tends to work best with the platform's algorithm. If I ever miss a day or two, I promise to make it up shortly after. The story is fully written it's just a matter of releasing it in the best way to help it reach as many readers as possible. Thank you again for all the support! If you enjoy any chapters, please consider dropping a gem, it means more than you know! And if you're up for leaving a comment, I'd love to hear your thoughts, good

Michael POVTen years.Ten years of waiting. Ten years of plotting. Ten years of turning myself into a weapon. I spent ten years buried in the shadows, moving between men who called themselves kings, cartels, mercenaries, men who only valued blood and power. I made myself useful. I learned their games. And when the time came, I burned every bridge, every name, until only one remained.Niko.This was the day I got my revenge.The moment Niko stepped out of that car, everything I had trained for, everything I had been told, came rushing to the surface. The bastard who had killed my sister, the man responsible for everything I lost, was standing twenty feet in front of me.Completely fucking unguarded. He should have been scrambling for cover. He should have been surprised. But instead, he stood there, completely still, like he had been expecting me.I didn't think, just fired the first shot.It barely missed his shoulder, but it was enough to make his men scatter, their guns drawn as t

Amy POVMy world had been flipped upside down more times than I could count. That was the price of being born into a family like mine. But this time was different. This time, it wasn't just another power shift, another bullet dodged, or another name crossed off some hit list.This time, it was Michael.The brother I had spent my whole life praying would find me, was suddenly back. Three months he had been in my life, and for three months, he had tried to tear it apart. His fear and anger were volatile, a dangerous volcano seconds from spewing death to any that stood around him. Now, today, he is standing in front of me in my school's parking lot, like some ghost from a past I had securely locked away. The boy who had once been my guardian angel, my protector. But he wasn't a boy anymore. He wasn't the brother I remembered.Michael was over six feet tall, blonde curls grown out, and built like a man who had spent the last decade training to be a weapon. Even Niko, the most feared man

Michael POVNothing made sense anymore. My mind was spiraling, replaying every conversation, every look Amy had given me. A part of me started to wonder if she might be right.But that was impossible. I've seen the proof of Niko's cruel and fucked up manipulations over the years.The hatred I had for Niko Valencia wasn't something to be questioned. It was deeper than fear or illusions. It was in my blood, in my bones. I wasn't about to trust my family in his hands.I flexed my fingers, ignoring the sting radiating up my arm. The skin over my knuckles was torn raw, blood dried and cracked. My hand wasn't just aching, it was fucked. It didn't matter though. The pain was grounding, a reminder that I was still in control.But that carefully crafted control started slipping the second I stepped through the door."Oh no, Michael!" Viv's voice hit me first, then her hands, small but insistent, grabbing my wrist and pulling me toward the kitchen. She was still gorgeous with long brown hair, s

Michael POV "Are you going to speak, or just stand there like an idiot?" I leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, staring down at the girl in front of me. She had that same frozen, wide-eyed look she always did around me, her knuckles white from gripping the strap of her bag. Weak. Useless. I had no idea how the hell she was Amy's best friend. My sister had grown too comfortable here if these were the kind of people she surrounded herself with. "I... Uh... I..." Lucy stammered, her voice barely above a whisper. I sighed, already annoyed. "Spit it out, rat face." Lucy's lips parted, but instead of speaking, she scowled. For a second, she looked like she might tell me to go fuck myself. But then she hesitated, like she always did. I could almost hear her thoughts scrambling and panic settling in. It was pathetic how easy it was to break her down, how she just stood there, shrinking under my stare like some helpless little mouse. It reminded me of the first night I met

Micheal POV "Where's the informant?" My voice cut through the stale air as my Uncle walked into the run-down repair shop empty-handed. "He went underground before we could grab him. Someone tipped him off." Vito sighed like I was an impatient kid throwing a tantrum. "Someone?" I sneered. Traitors were everywhere, circling like vultures.Vito raised his hands, already cautious. He knew that look in my eyes, the one that meant death.I moved before he could speak, slamming him against the wall. "You failed." My voice dropped, quiet, lethal. "And now you're standing here wasting my time."My fingers twitched, aching to wrap around his throat, but my anger wasn't for him. It was for Niko.I was stuck in that bastard's house, forced to watch him play family with my sister while I stood by like some leashed dog.For years, I believed Amy was dead. I'd seen the evidence, her body parts mailed to me, the taunting messages that ate me alive. I had nothing left but hate. By sixteen, I'd gra

Amy POV "I'm sorry my brother is such a creep. God! I don't even know why he is still here." I slammed my bedroom door shut, wanting to rip it right off the hinges. All Michael did was torment my friends. He was trying to scare them off, but it wasn't going to work. Lucy sat on my bed, hugging a pillow. "He won't leave without you, Amy." Her voice was quiet, but certain. "He's a total psycho, but... he'll do anything to protect you." I turned on her. "Are you actually defending him?" "No!" She shook her head quickly. "He's horrible, and I hate that you have to deal with him. It's just..." She hesitated, biting her lip. "I don't know. It could be worse." "How do I get him off my radar?" she groaned. "He seems determined to torture me." I sat beside her, letting out a dry laugh. "Michael's just jealous." Lucy raised an eyebrow, as if it wasn't totally obvious. My brother hated anyone I was friends with, especially Lucy. "He knows you're part of the reason I won't leave.

Michael POV "Your sister is a bit of a prude." Ariel's fingers skimmed down my chest, her voice a lazy purr. "I think I'd prefer it that way," I said, brushing her off as I stepped away. "Now get to work." I wasn't in the mood for distractions. Ignoring Ariel's pout and Siobhan's sharp gaze, I pressed my thumb to the side panel, shifting the painting to reveal a bank of live security monitors. Siobhan let out a low whistle. "That's a hell of a setup." I barely glanced at her. "Watch the feeds. If you see anything, I want to know immediately." My eyes flicked to the monitor showing Amy's bedroom door. "Are you spying on your sister?" Ariel wrinkled her nose, voice curling in mock disgust. "That's a little..." I shot her a cold look. "She is my sister. No one touches her." She held up her hands. "Jeez. Got it." "Good. Now show me what you found before I decide you're wasting my time." I pointed to my desk where the laptops were set up. Ariel sighed dramatically but d

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

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

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

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
