Archer's POV

The sky was bright, too damn bright. Sunshine spilled over the street outside Kafé Verse like it had something to prove.

My sunglasses did little to cut through the glare, and I found myself squinting as I stepped outside, Michael a step behind me, looking more confused than wary—a mistake he kept making with me.

"What is this about?" he asked, crossing his arms the second we were out of earshot from the rest of his coworkers.

The front windows of the café glared like eyes. Ivy,

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Whispers Over Wine

    Theo’s POVI stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the cuff of my sleeve with deliberate precision. The fabric of my suit sat perfectly against my body, expensive without being loud.My reflection stared back at me, composed and calm but beneath it, I could feel the tension still lingering.I exhaled slowly, rolling my shoulders once before straightening.“No emotions, just answers” I muttered under my breath. The doorbell rang and a faint smirk touched my lips.“Perfect.”I made my way through the house, my footsteps slow, unhurried. Every movement intentional. By the time I reached the door, the mask was already in place.“Mrs. Hansley,” I greeted warmly when I opened the door.She stood there in a modest but carefully chosen outfit, her smile bright, almost eager.“Oh, Theo, you look… wonderful” she said, her voice laced with excitement. I let my smile widen just slightly.“And you look lovely as always.”Her cheeks flushed faintly.“Well, thank you.”I stepped aside, gesturing

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Quiet loud Thoughts

    Michael’s POVDinner had come and gone, though “dinner” felt like the wrong word for it.No one really ate. We picked at food, moved things around our plates, tried to act normal but failed.The clink of cutlery sounded louder than it should have.Henry sat across from me, pushing his food around absentmindedly.“You’re not eating,” I said.“I’m trying,” he replied.“That’s not trying.”He sighed, dropping his fork.“Can you blame me?”No, I couldn’t.But I didn’t say that.“You’ll need your strength,” I said instead.“For what?” he asked quietly.The question hung in the air and no one answered immediately because we all knew but none of us wanted to say it out loud.“For whatever comes next,” Ashley said finally.Henry gave a small nod, though it didn’t look like it comforted him much. Nick leaned back slightly in his chair, his eyes shifting toward Luca.“So, what’s the plan?” he asked.Luca set his glass down carefully before responding.“The plan is simple.”“That’s usually a bad

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Fake Results

    Michael’s POVFor a moment, no one moved but then Henry broke it.“Luca!”Before anyone could stop him, Henry rushed forward, closing the distance in seconds and throwing his arms around him.Luca’s posture relaxed just enough for one hand to come up and rest briefly on Henry’s back.“You’ve grown,” Luca said, his voice softer than I’d ever heard it.Henry pulled back, a small smile breaking through his tension.“It’s been a while,” he said.“Yes, too long” Luca replied, studying him closely. Henry stepped back, still smiling faintly.“When did you get here?” he asked.“Not long ago,” Luca answered.“And you just came straight here?”“Yes.”Henry nodded, satisfied, but I wasn’t, not even close because Luca didn’t “just show up", not without reason.“Why are you here?” I asked.My voice cut through the moment and Luca’s gaze shifted to me.“I heard you’ve been busy,” he said.“That’s not an answer.”“It’s the beginning of one.”Ashley stepped forward slightly.“We don’t have time for

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Before The Rain

    Michael’s POV “Careful, you’re still healing” Ashley said as she adjusted her hold on my arm while we walked down the corridor.“I’m walking, not running a marathon,” I muttered.“That’s not the point. You were shot, Michael” she shot back. Nick chuckled lightly from the other side of me.“You’d think getting shot would humble him a little,” he said.“It didn’t,” Ashley replied immediately.“I’m right here,” I muttered.“And we’re still saying it,” Nick added.I rolled my eyes slightly but didn’t argue further.Henry walked ahead of us, hands shoved into his pockets, though I could tell from the way he kept glancing back that he was still on edge.“The paperwork’s done, which means we’re officially free to go” Nick said, holding up a small folder. “Finally,” I muttered.Ashley gave me a look.“Don’t sound too excited. You’ll be complaining again when you have to deal with everything outside.”“I’d take that over another night here.”“Fair enough.”We reached the elevator, stepping

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Blood May Lie

    Anabelle’s POVIt had been days of pacing this suite like a caged animal, days of snapping at servants, guards, even Marlo himself when his calm became too unbearable to tolerate.And now we were here waiting again.I stood by the window, fingers tapping restlessly against my arm as I stared down at the city below. I turned sharply, unable to stay still any longer.“This is taking too long,” I muttered.Behind me, Marlo sat comfortably, one leg crossed over the other, a glass of dark liquor resting loosely in his hand as though this entire situation was nothing more than an inconvenience.“It’s been processed as fast as possible,” he said calmly.“That’s not fast enough.”“It is, you’re just impatient” he replied. I shot him a glare.“And you’re too calm.”He took a slow sip before responding.“Because panic won’t change the outcome.”“It might prepare us for it.”“It won’t.”I scoffed, turning away from him again.“You started this,” I said sharply.“I followed a lead,” he correcte

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Theo’s Persistence

    Michael’s POVThe silence didn’t last, not with the way Theo was standing there, rigid, unyielding, his eyes burning into mine like he could peel me apart layer by layer if I gave him enough time.“I asked you a question,” he said again, like he was holding onto the last thread of patience he had left.No one answered. Ashley shifted slightly beside me, her posture tightening, her arms folding across her chest in a defensive stance I knew too well. Nick stood a little behind her, his jaw clenched, his eyes flickering between Theo and me like he was calculating ten different ways this could go wrong.Henry was still, his gaze fixed on Theo..Theo exhaled sharply, dragging a hand through his hair.“Okay, so that’s what we’re doing now? Silence?” he muttered. “You’re asking questions you have no business asking,” Ashley said finally, her voice sharp enough to cut.Theo’s gaze snapped to her immediately.“No business?” he echoed then a humorless laugh left his lips.“I followed Don Marl
