Michael’s POV

Nick stood in front of me for several seconds after finishing the bandage, staring at my arm like he still couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

I had explained everything to him as he worked and it was a lot for him to process.

“You’re bleeding through it already,” Nick muttered, pressing the bandage a little tighter.

I gritted my teeth as pain flared up my arm.

“It’s fine,” I said.

“It’s not fine.”

“It’s manageable.”

Nick exhaled sharply, clearly fighting the urge to yell at me.

    Michael’s POVNick stood in front of me for several seconds after finishing the bandage, staring at my arm like he still couldn’t believe what he was seeing.I had explained everything to him as he worked and it was a lot for him to process. “You’re bleeding through it already,” Nick muttered, pressing the bandage a little tighter.I gritted my teeth as pain flared up my arm.“It’s fine,” I said.“It’s not fine.”“It’s manageable.”Nick exhaled sharply, clearly fighting the urge to yell at me.“You got shot, Michael.”“Technically grazed.”“That’s not better!”His voice echoed softly through the quiet house and for a moment, both of us froze. We instinctively glanced toward the hallway that led to the bedrooms.Nick lowered his voice.“You should have told me you were going after him,” he said.“I knew you would try to stop me" I replied. “Yeah, because this is exactly why” he said bluntly. I leaned back against the counter, trying to ignore the dull throbbing in my arm. Adrenaline

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Blood in the Night

    Michael’s POVThe gun was still pressed firmly against the back of my helmet. The man holding it watched me with narrowed eyes, like a predator that had finally cornered its prey."How do you know that name?" I asked him but he ignored me.“Take the helmet off” he said calmly, My hands were now raised slightly in surrender, but my mind was racing.If he saw my face, everything would collapse. All the lies I had carefully built to keep our lives normal would explode.I forced myself to breathe slowly.“You still haven’t answered my question,” I said and the man frowned.“What question?”“How you know that name.”He tilted his head slightly.“Ramirez?”“Yes.”He stared at me for a moment, then chuckled quietly.“Interesting,” he muttered.“Why?”“Because most people would deny knowing it.”“I’m curious,” I replied carefully and his grin returned.“You should be afraid instead.”My jaw tightened inside the helmet.“Answer the question.”The man studied me like I was a puzzle piece that

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Name from the Grave

    Michael’s POVI stayed in the shadows behind a stack of shipping crates, barely breathing. Inside the massive warehouse, the overhead lights hummed softly.Theo stood near the center of the space with three other men. Even from this distance, his presence commanded attention.His back was straight, his shoulders broad beneath his fitted jacket. His voice carried clearly across the open warehouse as he spoke with calm authority.“They've arrived, right?” Theo asked.One of the men nodded. “Customs clearance already went through” he replied. “Good, no mistakes this time” Theo replied coolly. My pulse quickened.This was it.Exactly the kind of coded language people used when they were moving drugs or weapons.I leaned forward slightly, keeping my helmet low so the visor hid my face. The dark visor reflected the dim lights, making it impossible for anyone to see my eyes.The helmet wasn’t just protection for riding, right now it was a mask.One of the men beside Theo checked a tablet

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Engines in the night

    Michael’s POVAs laid in bed later that evening, Henry’s words replayed in my head on a vicious loop.I lay flat on my back, staring at the ceiling, the faint streetlight from outside cutting through the curtains and casting pale light across the room.Ashley hadn’t believed me when I lued i was fine when she'd came to check up on me, but she had let it go.Nick had been quieter. He always knew when I needed silence instead of comfort.Now the house was still. Henry’s music had stopped an hour ago and his door hadn’t opened again.I turned onto my side and reached for the drawer of my bedside table.My fingers wrapped around the cool wooden frame before I even fully decided.I pulled it out and a picture of Fernando stared back at me.The photo was old, taken before everything collapsed. He looked happier there, less haunted.His dark eyes were intense even in stillness, his jaw strong with that arrogant half-smirk he always wore like armor.I sat up slowly, resting my back against th

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Words That Cut Deeper

    Michael’s POVDinner that night was silent but heavy in a way.Ashley had made pasta and the smell filled the dining room warmly. Nick poured drinks while I set the plates down.Henry walked in last. He dropped into his chair, already wearing his headphones.I watched him for a moment but he didn’t notice me staring. He laughed softly at something on his screen then Ashley glanced at me carefully while Nick kept eating.I exhaled slowly.“Henry” I called but there was no response.“Henry” He looked up this time, one headphone sliding halfway off his ear.“What?”“Take those off” I told him.He frowned slightly. “Why?” he asked.“Because we’re eating together" I replied.“I’m eating” he raised an eyebrow as if i didn't already know that.“That’s not the point.”He rolled his eyes but removed the headphones fully and dropped them beside his plate. The phone remained upright.“And the phone,” I added calmly.He stared at me.“Seriously?”“Yes.”“It’s just a video.”“And this is dinner.”

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Staying In Silence

    Michael’s POVThe knocking continued relentlessly.Theo and I stood frozen by the door, the air between us thick with tension.“Hello!” Cynthia’s voice called through the door again.Theo and I didn’t moved. We simply stared at each other.His hand was still braced against the door near my shoulder. His body still close enough that I could feel the faint heat radiating from him.The silence between knocks stretched long enough for me to notice details I had been trying not to notice.His breathing had steadied, the irritation from earlier had softened into something guarded.A bit of dark hair had fallen slightly over his forehead, still faintly damp from his shower. His jaw was cleanly cut, sharp enough to look dangerous even at rest. A small crease formed between his brows when he concentrated, like it did now.His lips were slightly parted, fuller than I had registered before.I hated that I noticed that.My pulse beat steadily in my throat.Outside, another knock came then it beca
