A Gun To The Head

Marlo’s POV

The cold press of the gun’s muzzle against the back of my head was sharp, a chilling sensation that spread like ice down my spine.

Every instinct I had screamed at me to turn around, to fight, but I knew better.

I had been in this game too long not to recognize when a man had the upper hand. And right now, that man was Damian.

“Easy there,” I muttered, my voice low and steady, hiding the boiling fury inside me. “No need for this kind of dramatics, Damian.”

“Thought you were slick, huh?” he murmured from behind me, his voice calm, almost amused.

I exhaled through my nose, clenching my jaw.

“Listen, I don’t give a damn about whatever con you’re running with Michael. He’s not my concern. But what are you pulling behind our backs?"

Damian chuckled softly, the sound sinister in the dead of night.

“And what makes you think you’ve earned the right to ask questions, Marlo?”

“Maybe the part where you just put a gun to my head on a public street,” I shot back. “That’s usually a

    Michael’s POVWhen I had reached her, Chloe flipped through the folder in her hands.“I brought updated design boards, color palettes, and a few floral arrangements to choose from. Since the date has been changed to next week Saturday, we’ll need to confirm everything today.”“That bastard” I said, mostly to myself. “Of course.”“Would you prefer to start here or in the study? There’s more space there for the samples" Chloe asked.“The study,” came a deep voice from behind her.Chloe flinched slightly, spinning around to see Fernando standing in the doorway.He smiled faintly, though his eyes didn’t soften. “I trust everything’s on schedule?”Chloe nodded briskly. “Of course, sir. I’ve brought the revised plans and—”“Good,” he cut in smoothly. His gaze drifted to me. “Michael, join us.”It wasn’t a request, It never was.I followed them into the study with the resignation of a prisoner.Elena set her folder on the desk and began arranging color choices and design sketches. “We’ll

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Cage Tightens

    Michael’s POVThe echo of Fernando’s footsteps trailed behind him as he walked toward the door. For a fleeting second, I thought he might just leave without another word or command, another reminder that I was still his prisoner in this gilded cage. But of course, Fernando was never one to leave things unsaid.He paused near the doorway, turning back with that same calm, unshakable poise that both fascinated and sickened me.“Mortis. Emilio.” His voice was low, but it carried across the dining hall like a blade.They stepped forward from the corner of the room. I hadn’t even realized they were there. “Watch him,” Fernando said simply. “Every movement and every word. He doesn’t leave the estate unless I say so.”“Yes, boss,” Mortis replied, his tone clipped and professional.My stomach turned. “Are you serious?”Fernando’s gaze shifted to me. “You’ve made it clear I can’t trust you.”“Because I don’t want to marry you?” I snapped.He didn’t answer. Instead, he took a few slow steps

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   On the Devil's Table

    Michael’s POVThe morning light spilled across the long mahogany table, washing the dining hall in shades of gold and silence.Silence seemed to be the only language Fernando and I understood these days.The clatter of silverware echoed faintly as servants set the last of the dishes before returning, their heads bowed. Fernando sat across from me, the picture of composure with his dark suit, perfectly pressed shirt, not a hair out of place.I stared at the food in front of me and felt nothing but nausea. My stomach twisted at the thought of swallowing anything. I pushed the fork across the plate, tracing meaningless lines through the scrambled eggs.“Eat,” he said finally, his tone calm, almost detached. He didn’t look up from his plate. “You’ve barely touched your food.”I didn’t respond, my throat was too tight. I kept my gaze fixed on the fork in my hand.“Michael.” His voice was firmer this time.Still, I said nothing.He sighed quietly and set down his fork, folding his hands o

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   A Cage of My Own Making

    Fernando’s POVThe study was quiet again, too quiet.I swirled the glass between my fingers and leaned back in the chair, the leather creaking under my weight. I set the glass down too harshly; it cracked against the desk, but didn’t break. I dragged a hand through my hair and exhaled, staring at the unopened folder on my desk, but none of it mattered tonight. Not when the man upstairs, the one I claimed as mine, could barely look at me.I told myself I would go back to my room soon to face him.“Damn it,” I muttered under my breath and grabbed the whiskey bottle again.I didn’t even know what I wanted anymore. To stay here and drown in liquor, or walk up those stairs and face the mess I had created.If I went back to him now, what would I even say? "Sorry for threatening to kill your loved ones, darling? I didn’t mean it, I was just scared you’d leave me?"Pathetic. I was supposed to be in control, and yet every time he looked at me with those eyes, all my defenses crumbled.A so

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Devil's Mercy

    Fernando’s POVThe silence that followed was heavy enough to crush air. No one moved, not even me.My finger still hovered over the trigger, the gun steady in my hand, aimed straight at Anabelle’s forehead. Her sobs had quieted into shallow, trembling breaths, the kind that clawed their way out of a person’s throat when fear had already stolen their voice.“Fernando,” Marlo said finally, his voice low but steady, “put the gun down.”I didn’t.“Do you think I’m stupid, Marlo?” I said slowly. “Do you think I don’t see what’s happening here?”He took a careful breath. “I think you’re angry and you have every right to be, but please think about this.”Anabelle was still on the floor, her hands trembling as she wiped at her tears.“You said you didn’t tell him,” I said finally, my voice breaking the tension like a blade. “But Michael sounded very sure. So how do you explain that, Anabelle?”She swallowed hard, her voice shaking. “I told you already, I didn’t tell him directly. He asked

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Price of Truth

    Marlo’s POVAs I walked hurriedly down the hall and turned the corner, I saw Anabelle standing in the wide hallway under the chandelier’s dim light.She was talking to the guards, her voice soft but filled with worry. “What’s going on? Why does Don Fernando want to see me at this hour?”The guards stood stiffly.“Stop,” I called out as I approached. “I’ll take it from here.”The guards exchanged uncertain looks. One of them shifted slightly. “But the boss said—”“I said I’ll handle it.” My tone was sharp, leaving no room for argument.After a tense pause, they stepped back. I nodded toward the opposite hallway. “Wait there until I call for you.”They obeyed, though reluctantly.Anabelle’s gaze met mine immediately. “Marlo, what’s happening?” She stepped closer, her voice trembling. “Did I do something wrong?”I swallowed hard, forcing calm into my tone. “You need to come with me, but first tell me the truth.”Her brows furrowed. “About what?”“Did you tell Michael about Don Fer
