Marlo’s POV

The scent of antiseptic burned faintly in my nose as I pushed open the door to Fernando’s hospital room. The hallway behind me was as silent as a mausoleum.

Anabelle followed closely, the soft clack of her heels barely breaking the oppressive hush that weighed on this part of the hospital reserved for the highest-paying men in the city.

They had moved him—upgraded him, as the nurse proudly said when I checked in.

Fernando now lay in a private suite far away from the regular patie

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

    Fernando's POVFor several seconds, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Michael was standing in the middle of the tarmac with a gun pointed directly at Theo.I couldn't help but feel an almost absurd flicker of pride."Michael," I called.His eyes immediately found mine and I glanced at the gun in his hand."You're full of surprises today."His lips twitched, but the expression disappeared almost immediately.Theo looked furious."Don't encourage him!" He said.I looked at Theo."You've done enough" I replied. "Stay out of this.""I don't think that's possible anymore" I said.Michael kept the gun trained on Theo and I slowly raised both hands."Michael, bring Henry to me."Michael nodded then Henry looked at him."Go to your father" he said."What about you?" Henry asked."I'll be right behind you" Michael answered. Henry hesitated but Michael gave him a reassuring look."Go."Henry finally moved and he walked carefully toward me. I stepped forward and reached for him. The moment

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Between Two Men

    Michael’s POV My heart was pounding so hard that I could barely hear anything else. Theo stood several yards away from me, surrounded by his guards, while Fernando stood opposite him with Mortis at his side. And somehow, despite everything that had happened, the only thing I could think about was getting to Fernando and getting Henry away from this madness. "Theo," I said firmly. "Move your men." Theo's eyes immediately found mine. "No. I'm trying to protect you" he replied. I clenched my jaw. "I don't need you to protect me from Fernando." Theo shook his head. "You don't understand what you're doing" he replied. "I understand perfectly." I pointed toward the guards surrounding Henry and me. "You're holding us here against our will." Theo's expression tightened. "Don't make this harder than it already is" he said. I felt my anger twist painfully inside my chest. "You already lost me when you decided that my choices didn't matter" I said. Theo flinched then behind him

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Unable To Escape

    Fernando's POVMy lungs were burning. My legs felt like they were about to give out beneath me, but I refused to slow down.Mortis was running beside me, breathing heavily, but neither of us said anything.We had one destination and as soon as I could see the private aviation area ahead, my heart slammed against my ribs."That's it!" Mortis shouted.I followed his gaze and then I saw them. My entire body froze for half a second.There were guards everywhere. Several black vehicles were parked near the aircraft, their doors open and surrounded by those men were Michael and Henry.Kim was standing beside Theo as they were preparing to get into the vehicles."No."The word escaped my lips before I could stop it."MICHAEL!"My voice echoed across the tarmac and everything seemed to stop. Michael's head snapped toward me, his eyes widened."Fernando?"Henry turned then his entire expression changed."Dad!"Relief flooded Michael's face so quickly that it nearly broke me. He looked exhauste

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   He Found Us

    Theo’s POVMichael stared at me as though I had suddenly become a stranger, perhaps, in that moment, I was.The gun remained pointed at him, my finger resting carefully along the side of the trigger.I wasn't going to shoot him and judging by the way his eyes remained fixed on the weapon, he was beginning to understand that I wasn't bluffing either.For several seconds, neither of us moved. Henry stood beside Michael, looking between the two of us with confusion and fear written all over his face.Kim was behind them, completely frozen."Dad," she whispered.I didn't look at her. My attention remained on Michael."Sit down" I said for what felt like the hundredth time.Michael swallowed. His eyes flickered toward Henry and that was when I saw the calculation happening behind his eyes.He was considering his options.I knew Michael well enough to understand what he was thinking. He could probably disarm me..If he moved quickly enough, he could close the distance between us, knock the g

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Thirty Minutes Too Late

    Fernando’s POVThe moment I stepped out of the car, I knew I was running out of time.Munich Airport stretched before me, enormous and unfamiliar, filled with travelers dragging suitcases, airport employees rushing between terminals, and announcements echoing through the vast building.None of it mattered. I had one thing on my mind and that was to find Michael and Henry.I slammed the car door behind me and immediately started walking."Come on," I muttered.Mortis got out after me."Fernando, wait" he said but I didn't wait.I asked some airport workers if they could tell me the whereabouts to Michael but they were completely clueless. "I don't have time to wait" I said to Mortis eventually. "You need to think" he insisted. "I've been thinking for the last hour" I replied then turned toward him. "And every second I've spent thinking is another second Theo has had to disappear with them."Mortis sighed."Running around asking random airport workers isn't going to make them appear"

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Pointed Gun

    Theo’s POVI had expected Michael to fight me, perhaps not this violently, but I had expected it.The moment I saw his fingers close around the guard's weapon, I knew the calm conversation I had imagined was no longer possible.Michael stood several feet away from me, breathing heavily, his eyes burning with anger as he held the gun firmly in his hand.The weapon was pointed toward my guards, but I knew that if he became desperate enough, he could turn it toward me."You're making this more difficult than it needs to be" I said.Michael laughed bitterly."You've been saying that since you drugged me" he replied. "I'm trying to give you a better life" I said."I don't want the life you're giving me" he replied. "You don't know what you're saying right now" I insisted. "I know exactly what I'm saying" he argued then pointed the gun slightly toward me. "I want to go home.""You want to go back to all that chaos or just back to Fernando?" I asked.Michael hesitated, only for a moment,

    Fernando’s POV The whiskey burned the back of my throat as I tilted the glass to my lips, the liquid catching the low light of Santiago’s private bar. The hum of the city outside filtered faintly through the tinted windows but none of it mattered because my mind was elsewhere.On Michael.He had
