Michael’s POV

The throbbing in my arm hadn’t stopped since it was fixed by Ashley.

The bandages were tight, a constant reminder that I had nearly died today—or maybe yesterday, I didn’t even know what time it was anymore.

The painkillers had dulled the edge, but the ache still lived deep in the muscle, pulsing in time with my heartbeat like it was angry for being ignored.

I should be in bed. Nick had told me that. Ashley had said the same. But as I sat on the couch staring at the pale wall
Osarumwense Osakue

🔥As dawn creeps over the horizon and Nick prepares to walk away, Michael is left with a question he can't shake—what if Fernando had said something to push Nick away? And if he did… why? Get ready for the next chapter 🔥

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   A Quiet Moment

    Michael’s POVThe limousine finally stopped in front of Theo’s house and for a moment, neither of us moved.The soft hum of the engine filled the silence while the headlights illuminated the quiet street ahead. Across the road, my house stood dark and still beneath the night sky.The driver stepped out first and opened the door for us then I followed Theo out into the cool night air, adjusting my coat slightly as the limousine door shut behind me.The driver nodded respectfully.“Goodnight, sir.”Theo waved lazily.“Try not to sleep at the wheel this time" he cautioned.The poor man looked horrified again while I laughed under my breath then the limousine finally pulled away from the curb and disappeared down the quiet street.The sudden silence afterward felt strangely intimate.Theo shoved his hands into his pockets and glanced toward me.“You coming inside?” he asked.I hesitated briefly.Tonight had already been emotionally exhausting, and being alone with Theo again after everyth

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Still Inside the Limousine

    Michael’s POVThe cold night air hit my face the moment I stepped out of the restaurant. For the first time in what felt like hours, I could finally breathe properly.I rubbed my forehead tiredly as I walked down the elegant restaurant steps toward the parking lot, my shoes scraping softly against the pavement.I shoved my hands into my pockets as I reached the parking lot and immediately slowed down when I noticed the limousine still parked there beneath the dim overhead lights.I blinked.Why was it still here?I had assumed Theo had already gone home after Fernando humiliated both of us inside the restaurant.Guilt immediately settled heavily inside my chest. I sighed softly and pulled out my phone.For a moment, I hesitated then finally I called Theo. The phone barely rang twice before he answered.“Well, are you done talking with your husband?” Theo’s voice came through calmly, though there was obvious exhaustion beneath it. The word husband made my stomach twist again.“I’m sor

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Things I Cannot Say

    Fernando’s POVI could already tell from Michael’s expression that he wasn’t going to agree.He sat across from me with his arms folded tightly over his chest, his eyes guarded and exhausted beneath the warm amber glow of the hanging lights above us.Michael sighed heavily and rubbed his temple.“You really expect me to just pack up and move back to New York with you?” he asked.“Yes" I replied. His eyes narrowed immediately.“At least you’re honest.”“There’s no point lying to you.”Michael gave me a look.“That’s ironic coming from you" he said. I leaned back slightly in my chair and studied him carefully.“You’re safer there” I said.“That’s not enough reason" he countered. I drummed my fingers once lightly against the table before speaking again.“You and Henry shouldn’t stay here after everything that happened.”Michael looked away briefly toward the restaurant windows and despite all the anger between us, seeing him like this still clawed at something deep inside my chest.Mi

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   You Don’t Get to Decide for Me

    Michael’s POVI could feel Fernando staring at me. He was studying me the way a starving man stared at food after days without eating.And honestly, It was beginning to irritate me.The restaurant around us had slowly returned to normal after Theo left, but I could still feel the occasional curious glance from nearby tables. People were whispering quietly, pretending not to look in our direction while absolutely looking in our direction.Typical.Fernando, meanwhile, looked completely unaffected by the attention.Of course he did.He sat across from me with the same effortless dominance he carried everywhere, one arm lazily resting on the table while the expensive watch on his wrist glinted beneath the warm restaurant lighting.Everything about him screamed power and once upon a time, I had loved that about him.Now, I didn’t know what I felt anymore.I picked up my glass of water mostly because I needed something to do with my hands. Fernando’s eyes followed the movement immediately.

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Stay Away From What's Mine

    Fernando’s POVI was going to kill this dumbass.As Theo stood there across the table with that stubborn expression on his face, looking at me like he wasn’t intimidated in the slightest, I genuinely imagined pulling out my gun and putting a bullet through his chest.This man had taken Michael on a date, sat across from my husband under candlelight while Michael laughed softly at his jokes and even worse, he had challenged me openly.Most men backed down when confronted by someone like me but Theo didn’t. He stood there calmly despite the danger radiating around the table.And I hated how much Michael seemed to care whether Theo stayed or left.The restaurant had gone almost unnaturally quiet around us. People were pretending not to watch but failing terribly.The air felt thick with tension. Theo finally exhaled slowly and grabbed his jacket from the back of the chair.“I’m leaving” he said.Michael immediately looked distressed.“Theo—”Theo gave him a tired look.“I need time to th

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Still Married

    Michael’s POVI wanted to disappear.That was the first clear thought in my head as I sat beside the table while Fernando and Theo stared at each other like two predators silently measuring strength.The restaurant suddenly felt suffocating.I could hear cutlery clinking against plates somewhere nearby. Soft music still floated through the air mockingly, as if the universe hadn’t just decided to ruin my life again.People were pretending not to stare and not notice the tension around our table but I could feel their curiosity anyway.Fernando looked completely calm, like he hadn’t just detonated a bomb in the middle of my evening.Theo, on the other hand, looked stunned, quietly hurtand somehow that expression affected me more than yelling would have.I ran a frustrated hand through my hair before glaring at Fernando.“What the hell is wrong with you?” I asked.Fernando leaned back slightly in his chair.“I introduced myself.”“You ambushed us.”“I joined you for dinner.”“You followe

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Lines We Cross

    Michael’s POV Anabelle’s breathing came out in shallow gasps that only made it clear how close she was to crossing into the afterlife.Her face was paler now, the dull yellow from blood loss spreading beneath her skin like a mark of death. I bent down beside the massive couch, watching her chest

    Michael’s POV The smell of onions cooking in olive oil wrapped around me like a warm blanket. For a moment, just a brief moment, I let myself forget where we were, what was happening, and how much blood had already been spilled. The sound of the kitchen door opening pulled me out of my tranc
