Niko POV

A week went by with no disturbance. Vivian didn't complain, fight, or give me even a hint of attitude. She and Amy remained in her room most of the day, joining us every night for dinner. I didn't have any guests over because the hour we sat at the table was barely enough time with her. I wasn't going an entire day without her close to me.

Conversations carried on around us, but I was lost in the morbid dark seas she surrounded me in. Vivian had no happiness in her face and she barely ate. I asked the staff to update me on her meals from breakfast and lunch and they said she eats about half her plate. Amy was also quiet. Whenever anyone spoke to her, she hid behind Viv who just rubbed her arm or caressed her hair.

I couldn't stomach watching them this way, but I had no choice. Viv's outburst twisted my hand and I couldn't trust her around the families anymore. I thought of allowing her to return to work with Dennis, but I didn't like her alone with him either.

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Almost A Plan

    Vivian POVAll week I was in a haze. Every morning I woke up running to the bathroom and I was positive I was pregnant. I never feared anything so much in my life.Niko showed me what little he could offer me and my child so I had no choice but to run. I contemplated a million ways all week and came up short every time. Once he said I could go back to work, a wave of relief washed over me. I didn't show any emotions to Niko and prayed this would be my way out. I needed a doctor, prenatal vitamins, and peace of mind... and I needed it soon. I figured out I must be diabetic from the pregnancy and been trying to keep my blood sugar levels stable. It was still hard to keep food down, but the dizzy spells were coming less often. I felt my body dip low in energy and I knew I needed something before I passed out. I walked downstairs searching for something that would help when I saw the orange juice. Perfect! I poured a glass and turned to head back upstairs when my vision blurred. I gripp

    Vivian POVAmy and I arrived home and the first thing I did was change out of my heels. I hadn't worn them for so long in months and my feet were killing me. Amy also changed into sweatpants and t-shirt like me. We were becoming bums around the house with not much to do."Greg is here. Amy go with Mario somewhere." Niko ordered the second he walked in our room. Amy clutched to my side shaking. She was terrified of Niko."Hey, it's ok. Mario will protect you. I only need a little bit, just to make sure everything is ok." I looked at her sweetly hoping she calmed down."Are you sure you're ok? I don't want to lose you too." She sniffled back tears.I bent down hugging her. "I'm fine munchkin and the Doctor is going to make sure I stay that way. Why don't you grab a snack with Mario from Russel? He made fresh brownies for dessert since you did so good with school today.""He makes fresh brownies every day for me." She smiled."He does and it's because he adores you. Go get some while they

  • Consumed by the Mafia   Handle with Care

    Niko POVI heard the doctor loud and clear. I wouldn't harm her, not even a rough tug. I knew he was trying to convey no rough sex and that was no problem. Viv barely let me touch her.I sighed walking back to the house with her next to me. My hand was spread across most of her back and even though I knew I should pull away, I couldn't. The doctor said she just needed some vitamins and medication, but I could feel something wasn't right with her. These last few months she crept into my soul and found a permanent space there that irked me to no end. She was the worst person to ever enter my life, yet I wouldn't change having her here. "Come upstairs with me." I tried making my voice sound less like an order but that was stretch for me."Why? I need to get Amy." I could see the panic in her eyes. She was either afraid of me or what might happen to the girl."Sophia is home. She has the girl playing with some other kid. She is fine." I reassured Viv as we stood at the bottom of the stai

    Vivian POVThe way he cared for me had my body melting little by little. He made sure Amy was happy and safe then brought me upstairs to spoil me. This was the man I saw peek through his walls and the man I wanted. I knew it was temporary though. He was the Capo and had responsibility that didn't include me.I planned to leave in a week so just for today I let my walls down too. I could enjoy him while I had him. I could give myself good memories to hold on to for our son. He broke my heart yet filled me in a way I never knew existed."Get in here, beast!" I ordered him and his eyebrows perked up. He took off his shirt as he stood then started unbuckling his pants. He has been wearing more jeans and T-shirts lately. I like seeing him a little more relaxed at home."Are you giving me an order Viv?" He teased as he slid his pants and boxer down slowly. God his body was curved in pure perfection."Yes, and you better behave." I bit my lip, raking my eyes over every muscle upon muscle his

    Niko POVThe second her body started shaking her pussy locked me inside her and I lost all control coming hard inside her. Her pussy milked every drop and fuck I needed this. I held her in my arms, knowing that I would lose her one day though. She wasn't a side woman and I couldn't have her to myself."I wish I could give you the life you wanted, baby. I wish I was enough. I don't know how to let you go." Those words just slipped through my lips, confessing something I didn't even realize until I said it. She didn't say a word but cuddled deeper into me. I held her a little tighter, taking in every second we got to be together. "Why can't you marry me?" She asked in a whisper. "It would start a war."She laughed. "How?""I'm the Capo. If I married an outsider then it would open the door for everyone to mix blood. We are generations of pure Italians. Our entire hierarchy is based on the purest blood. It is what makes one brother stronger than another from different mothers. The old t

    Vivian POVOnce we left that bedroom, I closed my heart. Niko made it clear I would never be anything other than his Mistress and that meant my child would be his bastard. He was getting a better life than that. All week Niko was attentive and never once raised his voice. He was trying to show me a life that could work here. I knew the reality though. Niko was acting out of fear of me leaving, whether it be by death, running away, or him letting me go. I knew there was no reason I needed to stay here. The threat was gone. Niko kept me here for himself. We both knew he was a selfish man.I went to work memorizing the turns and street names Mario took. In the office I watched everyone learning their routines. The accounting department took a long coffee break at 10 every day. I sparked a conversation with a young man and caught his password. It wasn't hard to memorize, 223344. Once I had all the pieces, I decided I would leave from the house. Paul took us to the south border of the prop

    Niko POV"She left!" I screamed out. Paul looked at me unfazed as a fit of rage coursed through my body. He knew something. My hand wrapped around his neck."Where is she?""I... don't know." He struggled to get out the words."Fuck!" I roared dropping him. He hit the ground coughing. "I want her found!" I ordered. "Your men are searching for her now. We haven't found anything yet though.""Why wasn't I notified the second she went missing?" I stared at Paul hard. He straighten his body, readying himself for the wrath I was about to bring down on him.He shrugged his shoulders. "Head start?" He replied with a cocky smile. My fist instantly connected with his jaw, dropping him back to the ground. "Put him in a cell." I was ready to kill him. I couldn't do that though. I have known Paul since he was born. He and Tommy were thick as thieves growing up. I couldn't kill him for protecting Viv."She is gone Niko. I don't know where or how, but I know she ran. She left this horrible life y

Amy looked at me strangely as I dug through the dirt but it seemed like the best place to put it. I quickly got my ID and a few of my belongings.There was a picture by my bed of Tommy and me. His deep blue eyes looked at me like he was inside the frame watching over me. His large arms wrapped around my stomach and we smiled happily in the courtyard of our campus. My mind floated back to that day, remembering how we laughed all afternoon together. Paul joined us and he was the one to take the picture. I had one other frame with Tommy, Paul, and Danny. I never did get to see Danny again. He had a family so I was thankful he was left out of my drama. I couldn't let my mind wander to what punishment Niko was giving Paul for losing me. I turned the photos down then left this life for good. It was over and I would never have it again. Too much

    Michael POV"Lucy," her name slipped right off my tongue like it was the only word I should ever speak. "I love you Michael, and I don't understand why." She roughly shoved my chest, forcing me to lay back down. Her long legs moved to straddle my waist, those thick thighs flush against me. It was sexy, but the look in her eyes was a little scary. Was she pissed? Horny? "Lucy, I...," It wasn't even a thought of how I felt, it just was, but she didn't let me finish. "No, don't say it. I can't hear it, Michael. I just need to tell you how frustrated it makes me. I don't understand how I could love you. I don't understand why I can't walk away and it pisses me off." Her tone became sharper."This isn't sounding like compliments, baby." My eyebrows knit together, a little unsure if I should move or say something to defuse the situation. "It's not! I'm mad at you and I want it to stop! I want my life back." She shouted even louder, confirming this was definitely a hostile situation. He

    Michael POVI didn't know how I was going to let her go, but I knew I had to. Our time together was running out, and I wanted to stretch every moment until my last breath, maybe even beyond if that were possible."They so grown!" Viv cried on the large iPad Paul held up to watch the kids all get their diplomas. Dylan made a bit of spectacle, hugging the principal and jumping with his fist raised as he walked back down the other side. That one had me a little worried about the true value he had in my world, but Amy trusted him. She needed as many friends as she could get right now. "They sure are. It's only been ten years. How does that feel like both a lifetime and barely a year?" Paul wiped a few tears from his eyes and I gave him a look of disgust. This man was supposed to be my Second."Damn! Are we sure that one is really in high school?" Vinnie googled-eyed some girl with long tan legs in very high heels walking the stage. "Technically, no, since she just got her diploma," I sa

    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

    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

    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
