Fernando’s POV

The barrel of the gun was still warm in my hand when I heard the voice that could undo me.

It threaded through me like a wire pulled too tight, cutting through muscle, through bone, through everything I thought I had under control.

I tried to sit up, but the movement sent another wave of pain through my head."Ashley?"The familiar voice immediately cut through my confusion.I blinked.Nick was sitting beside me, one arm wrapped around my shoulders as he supported me.His face looked exhausted. More importantly, he looked relieved."Oh, thank God," he whispered.I stared at him."Nick? What..."I touched the back of my head and immediately winced."What happened?"

My voice failed me."My family," I finally managed.The nurse's expression softened."He's being taken into emergency care. You can't go inside” she said.I stared helplessly as the doors swung shut. Fernando disappeared behind them and suddenly, I had nothing to do except stand there.I looked down at my hands. There was still blood on them, his blood.

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?"

  • 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

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.
