Michael’s POV

The scent of cigar smoke clung thickly to the air, mixing with the smell of wood and leather.

But what caught my attention wasn’t the smell.

It was Fernando and Marlo.

They were leaning close across the broad desk, their voices low, words hurried and clipped, as though something pressed heavily between them.

I couldn’t make out what was said, just the quick cadence of urgency. Then, the moment my shadow fell across the threshold, their conversation died like a flame snuffed out.

“Michael,” Fernando said, his tone warm but his smile not quite reaching his eyes. “Welcome back.”

I narrowed my gaze slightly.

“I get the feeling I walked in on something.”

“Not at all,” Fernando replied smoothly, as if he had rehearsed the words. “Just business, nothing more.”

Marlo remained silent, his eyes darting toward the bookshelf, his hands clasped behind his back as though trying to make himself less suspicious.

I stepped further inside, closing the door with a soft click b

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Clues in an Empty House

    Michael’s POV The road narrowed the closer we got and Emilio kept both hands on the wheel, his jaw set, silence thick between us. When Archer's mansion came into view, my chest tightened.The mansion loomed like a ghost. Once, it had been a spectacle with intricate white stone walls, towering gates, and gardens manicured to perfection. But now It looked abandoned and forgotten, like Archer had never existed.But I knew better.“Michael,” Emilio muttered, slowing the car to a crawl. “This place looks dead.”“Doesn’t mean he’s not here,” I replied, my voice flat, my eyes fixed on the cracked facade.Emilio parked reluctantly just outside the gates. He killed the engine, the silence that followed almost deafening. I unbuckled my seatbelt and reached for the door handle.“Wait.” His voice was sharp. “You’re serious about going in?”I turned to him, meeting the reflection of his doubt in his sunglasses. “Of course I am.”Emilio exhaled heavily, rubbing the bridge of his nose. “Michae

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Thoughts of Him

    Fernando’s POV I stood at the center of the warehouse, hands clasped behind my back, watching my men unload crates from the container truck. The heavy thud of boots echoed on the concrete floor, mingled with the metallic clatter of crowbars prying open lids. The men worked in pairs, their movements quick, disciplined, as if they knew my eyes were sharper than any blade.Inside those crates was our latest shipment of undiluted meth, the veins of this empire. My lips curved before I could stop them, and for a moment, I felt almost foolish. What kind of man smiled like this, during work? What kind of boss let his expression slip when men and loyalty were important?But I couldn’t help it.The memory of Michael tangled in my sheets last night, his body pressed beneath mine, his lips desperate and sweet against my skin, burned in me like the richest liquor. For sometime, he had been unstable and volatile, his grief over Ashley driving him close to madness. I had endured his screamin

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Sunlight Between Lies

    Michael’s POV The first thing I noticed was warmth. Not the kind that comes from blankets, or the heat of another body close to mine, but sunlight. I opened my eyes slowly, squinting against the brightness. It took me a moment to remember where I was, what had happened, and why my body felt like it had been drained and set on fire at the same time.And then I saw him.Fernando.He stood near the window, his back half-turned, his naked body bathed in sunlight. Every line of muscle, every curve of skin glowed with that rich light. My lips curved into something between a smile and a smirk. I had seduced him, tangled myself into his sheets and his arms, not because I loved him, no, but because I needed his guard lowered. I needed him distracted and I needed freedom.Because Archer was still out there and he needed to die.I stayed quiet for a moment longer, watching Fernando stretch, the lazy grace of a man who felt safe. His dark hair glinted faintly where the sunlight caught it, a

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Fire Between Us

    Fernando’s POV The room was quiet, too quiet. That kind of silence that hangs heavy, wrapping around you like smoke, clinging until your lungs ache. Michael moved about in it like a ghost, shoulders tense, hands restless. He hadn’t spoken since we walked in. Not a word, not a sigh, nothing but the soft brush of fabric when he pulled his shirt over his head and dropped onto his body those casual shorts that did little to calm the storm in the room. I watched him in secret, or maybe I wanted him to see me watching. My gaze followed every small twitch of muscle under his skin, every line of tension across his back, every shadow his jaw cast beneath the dim bedside lamp. My chest was bare now, cooled by the whisper of night air that slipped through the curtains. I had removed my clothes deliberately, letting the fabric fall from me. All that clung to me now were my pyjama trousers, loose around my hips, as if I were offering him the freedom to look, though he wouldn’t. Not ye

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   What I’m Here For

    Michael’s POV The small makeshift library room had always been one of the quieter corners of the mansion. Tonight, however, the silence felt suffocating. I sat on the soft Persian rug, my elbows resting on my laps as Henry worked beside me. His tiny fingers curled around a pencil, his brows knitted together in concentration as he bent over his math workbook. The boy had his tongue sticking out slightly, an endearing habit he had whenever he was trying too hard. The lamplight spilled across his pale sheets of paper, illuminating neat rows of numbers and half-erased attempts. He whispered the multiplication tables under his breath, his voice so soft I could barely hear him. But I wasn’t hearing much of anything. My head was too full, my chest too tight. Every time I looked at the black digits on Henry’s page, I saw red instead. Ashley’s blood. The realisation that it was Archer that had orchestrated everything sent a sick rage inside me. It clawed at my ribs, demanding to be

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Strings in the Dark

    Fernando’s POV The sight chilled me. Michael, my Michael, stood with a gun in his hand, arm steady, jaw locked, eyes blazing with a fury I hadn’t thought him capable of. He was transformed, consumed by something raw and dangerous, and every instinct in me screamed to act fast before he did something he could never undo. The man in the chair, battered and broken, raised his swollen head. His lips parted as if he would speak. And then I moved. I stepped in front of Michael, between his trembling rage and the half-dead wretch slumped against the ropes. My hands came up slowly, palms open, as though I were talking down a wild animal ready to tear through its cage. “Michael,” I said softly, steadying my voice, though inside I was a hurricane. “Look at me, not him, me.” His eyes flickered to mine, bright with unshed tears, red with sleeplessness and fury. His finger hovered too close to the trigger. “You’re not this man,” I whispered. “You’re not me.” He flinched at that, just a
