Consumed by the Mafia Ch. 141 - Touching Forever
Michael POVShe didn't run, and for the life of me, I'll never understand why.When I dropped to my knee, her eyes widened, lips parting in a breath I think we both forgot how to take.The chain still dangled in my hand, her fingers warm where they brushed mine, and I swear the world stopped spinning just long enough for me to bleed everything I was."I didn't come here to ruin your life," I said, and my voice cracked just enough to feel human. "I came because I finally figured out I don't know how to live mine without you in it."She didn't answer. Didn't move. Just swallowed, slow and hard, like her heart had lodged itself halfway up her throat.But I saw it in her eyes, the war I'd put her in. The one she'd never asked to fight.I kept going, because stopping would've been worse."I know what you're thinking. I know what they'd all say too. That I'm selfish. That this," I lifted the chain slightly, the weight of the ring pressing into my palm, "is just another way to tie you to a
Consumed by the Mafia Ch. 140 - One Question
Lucy POVBy the time the reception spilled out onto the courtyard, with champagne flutes clinking and laughter rising into the golden Italian sky, I felt like I was unraveling from the inside out.Jared would brushed his hand lightly against my arm when he saw me watching Michael too long. Just a reminder that he was there and that I wasn't alone. I smiled at him gently, grateful. But it wasn't his touch I felt humming through me.Michael's silence was louder.It was too much.Too much pretending, too much distance, too much of him standing only a few feet away and yet so impossibly out of reach.I caught his profile more times than I wanted to admit. Watched the way his fingers curled around the rim of his glass, the way he smiled for everyone but never let it reach his eyes. Michael Grasso didn't know how to be vulnerable in a room full of witnesses, but I did. And I was crumbling.Jared stayed close. He always did. His hand found the small of my back during a toast. He leaned in wh
Consumed by the Mafia Ch. 139 - Love, Like Sin
Lucy POVMy stomach was in knots the whole ride to the church, and once we arrived, it only twisted tighter.Michael stepped out of the car Niko had stolen from us earlier, black suit tailored to perfection, blond curls a deliberate mess. He looked like every mistake I'd ever wanted to make twice.And then, just for a second, our eyes locked.In that single heartbeat, the world tilted all over again.My body moved before my brain caught up. I was already stepping toward him. I wasn't thinking, I was reacting. Reaching.Until he looked straight past me. Didn't pause. Didn't flinch. Just turned and walked into the church without another glance.He dismissed me.I looked incredible in this dress, and he walked away?"You good?" Jared's hand rested gently on my back. I hadn't even realized I was frozen there, staring at the doorway like it might open again and give me a second chance.Once inside, I refused to look in Michael's direction. I could feel his eyes on me, could practically fee
Consumed by the Mafia Ch. 138 - My Future
Lucy POVI tried going back to my normal routine: school, shopping, music, small get-togethers with friends.But something lingered at the edge of everything. A weight in the back of my mind that wouldn't let me move forward. Not completely.Well, not something. Someone.Five days ago, I slept with Michael Grasso, and it reminded me of everything I'd been trying to forget. It wasn't just the sex, though it was incredible. It was the way we fell into each other like nothing had ever been broken.That kind of connection doesn't just disappear. I don't think I'll ever feel that way with anyone else.One look from him, and I just come undone. There's no fear with him, no need to hide who I am or silence what I'm thinking.Michael sees me, all of me, and loves me anyway.And no matter where I go or how far I try to run, I know that will never change."You're zoning out again," Jared said, nudging his shoulder into mine.I glanced up at the full-length mirror and smiled. We looked good toge
Consumed by the Mafia Ch. 137 - Mafia Wedding
Michael POVFor five days, I wandered through the old vintage town like a ghost with nowhere to be.I visited the same church where my Nonna and Nonno had made their vows nearly eighty years ago. I ate too much pasta. Drank too much wine. Bought loaves of bread I didn't even finish. I did everything... everything except go to the damn airport.The anger still burned in me, slow and constant like embers that refused to die out. But I couldn't bring myself to leave.I told myself it was Lucy that kept me here. That it was her voice, her touch, her absence that chained me to this place. But it wasn't just her. Not really.It was the idea of something better. A life I could still claim. A family I could build from the ashes.But how the hell do you just forgive? Forget?How do you move past the fire inside you that wants to turn everything to dust?"You look a little fat," Niko said as he strolled into the tiny apartment I'd rented for the week.I didn't even look up. Just buried my face
Consumed by the Mafia Ch. 136 - Ashes in His Wake
Michael POVI woke up cold. Not from the temperature, but from the absence of her. The bedsheets still held her scent but the warmth was gone.Why did I let her leave? I sat up slowly, every muscle in my body stiff, every scar louder in the silence. My hand reached for the space beside me and landed on nothing but crumpled linen and regret.God, I was tired.Not the kind that sleep fixed. Not even the kind that war demanded. It was deeper. A rot in the bones. A slow bleed.She loved me. She'd said it again. Said it like it hurt.And then she walked away because she had to.Because I couldn't give her peace without burning down the part of me that still knew how to survive.Instead, I sat there, looking at the scar she kissed like it was the end of a story we both knew we could never rewrite. A knock came at my door and I let out an exaggerated moan. I knew it wasn't the only person I wanted to see. There was a whole house full of traitors and any one of them was behind that door. "
