Daddy's Bargain Chapter 12 – Begging in the Rain
CelesteThe house was too quiet after what happened the night before.I spent the entire day pretending to read one of the books from his office, but I couldn’t focus. Every creak in the hallway made me jump. Every time I looked out the window, I expected another car to pull up with guns.When the front doors opened that evening, I heard his voice before I saw him. Deep, steady, tired.“Where is she?”“In the living room,” Marco answered.Azrael walked in a moment later, his black shirt damp from the rain, sleeves rolled halfway. He looked exhausted with his hair messy, eyes darker than usual, but still infuriatingly composed.“You didn’t go anywhere today,” he said. Not a question.“No, because you have guards at every door,” I muttered.He set his gun on the table and unbuttoned his cuffs. “Good. That means they’re doing their job.”I closed the book. “If you call keeping me prisoner a job, then yeah, they’re excellent at it.”His eyes lifted to mine. “What did you do all day?”“Lea
Daddy's Bargain Chapter 11 – Cara Mia
AzraelThe words left her mouth and it felt like a slap. “Fuck you.”I froze and my fingers curled at my sides. She stood there, arms crossed, eyes red from crying but burning with something sharper than fear.“Careful,” I said. “You forget where you are.”“I don’t care.” Her voice cracked a little, but she didn’t back down. “You keep pretending you’re protecting me, but you’re the reason my life’s ruined.”I stepped closer. “Watch your tone.”“Or what?” she shot back. “You’ll lock me up again? Take away my phone? What’s next, Azrael?”I breathed out slowly. “You really want to find out?”She flinched, just barely, then lifted her chin. “Do your worst.”The defiance in her voice did something to me I didn’t want to name. I turned away before I said something I’d regret. My hands were shaking, and not from anger.Marco’s voice cut through the tension from the hall. “Boss, we need—”Then came the first gunshot.Glass shattered.“Down!” I barked, shoving Celeste to the floor behind the c
Daddy's Bargain Chapter 10 – Viral
Celeste's PovI could tell something was off the moment I walked into the living room. The guards avoided looking at me. Even the one who usually greeted me with a nod kept his eyes glued to the floor.Azrael stood by the window, phone pressed to his ear, jaw tight. He wasn’t saying much, just short replies in Italian. His voice was calm, but that kind of calm that came before a storm.When he noticed me, he ended the call and slipped the phone into his pocket. “Go back upstairs, Celeste,” he said.“Why?”“It’s nothing you need to worry about.”The way he said it made my chest tighten. He only spoke like that when he was hiding something.I crossed my arms. “That means it’s definitely something I should worry about.”He looked at me for a long second, then sighed. “You never listen.”“Maybe because you treat me like a child,” I shot back.His lips pressed into a thin line. He turned to Marco, one of his men, and said something quietly in Italian. Marco nodded and left the room, but n
Daddy's Bargain Chapter 9 – The Devil’s Lesson
When Azrael told me to dress up, I thought it was another test.I stood in front of the mirror in the red dress he’d picked for me. The slit ran high up my thigh, the neckline dipped lower than I was comfortable with. My honey-brown skin glowed under the silk, my curls loose around my shoulders. For the first time since I got here, I actually looked like the girl in the magazines, the one people whispered about because of who my father was. But my hazel eyes gave me away. They were too restless, too uncertain.When I stepped out of the room, Azrael was waiting in the hall. Black suit, no tie, shirt unbuttoned just enough to show ink on his chest. His storm-gray eyes landed on me, traveled from the slit of my dress up to my face, and then back again. He didn’t say a word, but the look alone made my stomach flip.“Dinner,” he said, his voice even.We drove along the cliffs. His men filled the cars ahead and behind, shadows against the headlights. I sat stiff beside him, my hands folded
Daddy's Bargain Chapter 8 – Leave
The villa was too quiet without him.Azrael had left hours ago with two of his men, something about a meeting down in Palermo. He didn’t tell me more, and I didn’t ask. I’d learned quickly that questions only got me that flat, storm-gray stare.Still, silence made me restless. The estate wasn’t just big—it was suffocating. Every hallway stretched longer than it should, every door guarded or locked. Even the sea outside the windows, crashing against the cliffs, felt like another set of walls.So I wandered.I told myself it was just boredom, but deep down, it was defiance. Every time Azrael said stay put, something in me burned hotter. My heels clicked softly across marble as I traced corridors lined with paintings. Men nodded at me when I passed—always in dark suits, always armed. I knew they were his soldiers. They looked at me like I was off-limits, and that made my stomach twist.I reached a wing I hadn’t explored yet, quieter, colder. A wide painting of some Sicilian port at night
Daddy's Bargain Chapter 7 – Lines He Shouldn’t Cross
Azrael's povI still had her pinned to the bed when the door clicked shut behind us. Black silk under her back, the ocean pounding against the cliffs below like a warning. My men were posted on every corner of this house, three outside her door right now, another two down by the stairs. She didn’t know how many eyes watched, how many guns had been drawn the second she screamed on the balcony. And that was dangerous.I brushed a thumb along her hip, slow, deliberate. She flinched but didn’t pull away. Her breathing was ragged, angry, confused. I knew the signs. I’d seen women look at me like this before in half hate, half need. But Celeste wasn’t like the others. She was the daughter of a man who’d gotten my people killed.I shouldn’t want her at all.“You’re shaking,” I said quietly. My voice came out rougher than I meant.“I’m not,” she muttered.I almost smiled. She was lying and we both knew it.Outside the windows, the guards shifted positions. I’d built this place like a fortr
