But getting close to Fernando means playing a dangerous game, one where seduction and power blur the lines between enemy and lover. When Michael uncovers a shocking truth, his thirst for revenge turns into a fight for something far more dangerous—his own heart. Now, torn between duty and desire, he must decide: destroy the man he swore to take down or surrender to the one thing he never saw coming. Love has never been more lethal.

I gripped the bedsheets as I gritted my teeth and buried my face into the soft mattress, feeling Marlo’s sweat falling on my back and soft moans escaping his lips while he continued thrusting with more strength than necessary. "Fuck, you're so tight" he said. I bit back the pain that was building within me and tried my best to endure whatever pain I could feel in my hole. This was all a means to an end. Before I could process my thoughts any further, he turned me around, his muscular arms wrapping around me. He knelt on the bed and raised me to sit on his hard cock. I stared at him, wondering what sex position he intended to do this time. After spending more than twenty minutes servicing his dick and nipples, I was already exhausted. He wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back on his hand and gave me one the ugliest smirk I have ever seen escape the lips of a man. "Ride me until I burst inside you" Marlo said, his breath resting on my face. He brought his lips to mine and I tried to avoid whatever he planned to do, but I wasn’t fast enough. Marlo sucked my lower lip while his tongue evaded my mouth and ran around my walls. "That's enough" I whispered, my disgust beginning to show no matter how much I tried to hide it. Thankfully, he released his hold on my lips and laid back, his hands placed behind his head as his eyes told me to begin the task he has given to me. Ugh. In the darkness, I rolled my eyes, my anger almost simmering beneath the surface. I raised my knees and instead of kneeling down, I squatted over his dick, my momentum building. I began slowly at first then increased my speed and watched as Marlo’s eyes rolled to the back of his head in ecstacy. His moans filled my ears and although I hated having sex with him, the fact that I held this much power over him at this instant was enough to make a smile appear on my face. "I'm close. I'm going to cum" he said. He attempted to jerk me off but I threw his hand away from my throbbing dick and allowed him to reach climax. Finally, it was over. I laid on my back, staring at the ceiling, my chest rising and falling in slow, controlled breaths. The sheets beneath me were damp with sweat, but the warmth of Marlo’s body next to mine made my skin crawl. The room smelled of sweat and whiskey, of regret and desperation. I turned my head slightly, watching him sleep, his face relaxed in the dim glow of the bedside lamp. He looked peaceful—satisfied. Meanwhile, I felt nothing but irritation gnawing at the edges of my patience. I hadn’t wanted this. I hadn’t enjoyed a single second of it. But I had needed to do it. Marlo wasn’t just another of Fernando Ramirez’s men—he was one of his highest-ranking lieutenants. He was a man with influence. A man with access. And that access was exactly what I, as well as the FBI, needed if I wanted to bring Fernando down. Fernando Ramirez. Just thinking his name sent a rush of fury through me. His Mafia crime family had spread like a plague across the city, untouchable, operating in the shadows while law enforcement remained powerless. My sister—my only family—had been caught in his violence and she lost her life. A victim of his greed, his brutality. She hadn’t deserved it. She hadn’t deserved any of it. I clenched my jaw, forcing my thoughts back to the present. Dwelling on the past wouldn’t help me now. Right now, my priority was getting to that exclusive party Fernando was throwing in a few days. Only his most trusted men would be allowed inside, and Marlo was one of them. That’s why I had done this. But now, I needed Marlo to wake the hell up. I nudged him with my elbow. “Hey.” He didn’t stir. I frowned, shifting to my side and shaking his shoulder. “Marlo.” A tired groan escaped his lips, but he barely opened his eyes. His arm was placed lazily over his stomach, his breathing slow and deep. “Marlo, wake up,” I tried again, this time a little more forceful. “We had a deal, remember?” Nothing. I rolled my eyes, frustration bubbling in my chest. “You said you would help me get in,” I reminded him, keeping my voice even. “I need that tag. You said you would vouch for me.” Marlo mumbled something that sounded like nonsense, shifting slightly before settling back into sleep. Useless. I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair. There was no point in trying to reason with him right now. He was out cold, probably from the alcohol he had drank earlier. I would have to handle this myself. My eyes flicked to the bedside table where his identification tag lay—his ticket to the party. His access to Fernando. Carefully, I slid out of bed, moving with the precision of a trained agent. My muscles were tense as I reached for the tag, keeping my movements slow, deliberate. One wrong move, and I would wake him. The metal tag was cool against my fingertips as I picked it up, slipping it into the pocket of my discarded jeans on the floor. I dressed quickly, shoving my arms into my shirt, buttoning it hastily. As I reached for the door, my heart pounded with a mix of adrenaline and anticipation. I had done it. I had what I needed. But the moment I pulled the door open, every cell in my body froze. Standing in the doorway, his figure looming in the dimly lit hallway, was Fernando Ramirez. His dark eyes locked onto mine, unreadable, terrifyingly calm. He was taller than I expected, broader, his presence suffocating. The air around him felt heavy, charged with something dangerous. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe. His lips curled slightly—not quite a smirk, but something close. “Well, well well,” he said, his voice deep, smooth, laced with quiet authority. “Going somewhere?” My heart slammed against my ribs, but I forced my face to remain neutral, my mind racing. I was in trouble. Big trouble.Marlo’s POVThe sound of shouting echoed down the hallway.Even before I reached the door to Fernando’s suite, I could hear his voice, sharp, commanding and furious. Michael’s voice was also audible and he wasn’t backing down.I frowned and pushed through the small crowd of guards gathered at the doorway. Their posture was tense, shoulders squared, eyes darting nervously toward the man inside.When I stepped through, the air felt heavy, like the very walls were holding their breath.Fernando stood near the window, his chest rising and falling rapidly. His jaw was clenched so tight I could see the muscle twitch in his cheek.Michael was standing several paces away, a duffel bag half-zipped at his feet, his face pale but his eyes blazing with fury.“What the hell is going on?” I demanded quietly, moving past the guards.Michael finally turned to me, his voice low but shaking with anger. “Tell me something, Marlo. Did you know Fernando has been having an affair with Dominique?”The que
Michael’s POVThe storm outside was nothing compared to the one inside me.I stood in the doorway and kept my gaze on Fernando as he looked at me as if I were a ghost.He didn’t answer, he didn’t even try, and that silence told me everything.“You can’t even deny it,” I whispered, my voice raw. “You can’t even look me in the eye and tell me I’m wrong.”He took a slow step forward. “Michael, it’s not what you think.”I laughed. “It’s exactly what I think. You and Dominique.”His jaw tightened. “He means nothing—”“Don't you dare talk to me like I'm some stupid child” I snapped, cutting him off. We both went still.He stepped closer, his voice lower now. “I know what you think of me, Michael, but I’ve done everything to keep you safe. You don’t understand what it means to live in my world but Dominique does. That’s why I trust him.”That name again.I clenched my fists so tightly my nails dug into my palms. “So that’s it, then. He understands you, and I don’t. Is that what you’re
Fernando’s POVThe silence in my room was suffocating.Not the usual calm kind of silence, the kind that gave me control over my thoughts, but the type that crawled under your skin and demanded you break something.I had been pacing for most of the last hour, my hands locked behind my back, my jaw tight enough to split stone. The ticking of the antique clock was louder than usual, each second mocking me for not taking action.Dominique should have been back by now. He wasn’t the type to delay unless something, or someone, had interfered.My mind kept circling back to Michael no matter how hard I tried to stop myself and focus on something else that wouldn't make me angry as well as make me feel like shit and the same time.I exhaled sharply and sat down on the bed, running my hand over my hair.He had been distant for days, quieter than usual, avoiding my touch as if my skin burned him.I didn’t want this to be my life. A man with my kind of money didn't deserve to be in this kind of
Michael’s POVThe air outside was colder than I expected. I didn’t grab a jacket before walking out, but maybe the chill was exactly what I needed.I took the stone steps down slowly, my hands in my pockets, trying to swallow the lump of anger in my throat.Every step away from the mansion felt like peeling off another layer of suffocation. I needed distance from the walls and Fernando.Even thinking his name made my chest tighten.I sat down on a bench and rubbed my hands over my face, trying to calm the storm building in my chest.Without thinking, I pulled out my phone and called Ashley.She picked up on the second ring.“Michael? What’s wrong?”Her voice was sharp and worried. “I’m fine,” I lied. “I just… needed to talk.”She didn’t buy it. “You sound anything but fine. What happened this time?”I leaned back, staring at the stars through the branches. “It’s the same thing, Ash.”“Let me guess,” she said bitterly. “Fernando is still playing god with visitation?”I smiled weakly
Fernando’s POVThe mansion greeted me with the same familiar hush that always followed my return. I spotted Marlo near the base of the staircase, going over somethings with two of the staff. “Where’s Dominique?” I asked, my voice low but sharp.He dismissed the staff with a nod before turning to me. “He stepped out not too long ago.”My brow creased. “Stepped out? Where?”“He said he needed to take care of something,” Marlo replied, tucking his papers under his arm. “He mentioned it wouldn’t be for long.”I studied his face, but Marlo didn’t flinch. He wasn’t hiding anything.“He didn’t tell me he would be leaving.”Marlo inclined his head slightly. “Maybe he thought it wouldn't be a big deal.”I let out a slow breath through my nose, struggling to contain the surge of disappointment.“I was in the mood to see him tonight,” I muttered, more to myself than to Marlo.Marlo’s expression didn’t change, though his silence said enough because he understood what I meant.“Have Emilio co
Michael’s POV I sat by the balcony, a book open in my hands, though I hadn’t turned a page in over twenty minutes. My eyes traced the same sentence again and again without absorbing a single word. My mind was somewhere else, trapped in a loop of thoughts that refused to let me rest.Henry wasn’t my son by blood, but in every other sense that mattered, he was mine, and now I barely saw him.A knock sounded at the door, soft but distinct.“Come in,” I said, my voice low.The door opened, and Emilio stepped in, balancing a large bouquet of fresh white lilies in his arms. The delicate petals looked almost too fragile against his black uniform.He smiled faintly. “Don Fernando sent these.”I blinked, lowering the book. “Flowers?”Emilio nodded, setting the bouquet gently on the edge of my bed. “He said they’re for you.”I stared at the flowers for a moment, expression unreadable. “Why?”“I think…” Emilio hesitated, scratching the back of his neck. “I think he’s trying to make peace.”
