Ashley's POV

I sat there, strapped into the cold, unyielding chair, my wrists brushing against my restraints.

Shock had hit me like a moving train. My mouth went dry, my hands shook. I felt like the air had been sucked from the room.

My mind was trying to reject the reality of his confession, my brain running over every memory, every detail, and somehow it all lined up.

It was him. The monster in front of me was the one responsible for responsible for everything.

“No” I whispered.

“Oh, yes,” Santiago said, leaning forward. His eyes glinted with satisfaction. “And don’t think I’ve spared you the truth about her, either. You think I would have let such a fragile little girl walk around unpunished? She deserved…” He paused, savoring the moment. “…nothing, nothing at all.”

Rage ignited inside me like gasoline. My fingers flexed against the restraints as if sheer will could break the chains binding me.

“You bastard! How dare you talk about her that way!” My voice shook, but there was

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Favors

    Fernando’s POVI stood exactly where Michael had left me.The door was still swinging slightly when it finally stilled, like it too needed a moment to accept what had just happened. I watched it as if it might reopen, as if Michael might come back with fire in his eyes and finally demand the answers I had spent all this time burying.He didn’t, he simply obeyed and the realisation brought a slow smile on my face.I exhaled, rolling my shoulders, feeling the tension settle into something far more familiar that I could control.The first part of the storm had passed and now what was left was the storm's best friend who always found ways to put her nose in matters that were of no concern to her.I had expected Ashley to be the first storm at my door.She had always been the brave one when it came to Michael. She didn’t hesitate to act like his shield or his spokesperson. The person who said the things Michael swallowed down and turned into sleepless nights. I had thought that If anyon

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Hour That Would Not Wait

    Fernando's POVI adjusted the cuff of my shirt and lifted my eyes to the mirror again for the one hundredth time.It was just one hour left and my life would change into something much better.I had faced death without flinching, I had signed orders that wiped entire bloodlines off the map, I had buried men who begged me to spare them and slept soundly afterward, yet my reflection tonight looked different.I would dare say i looked happier. I definitely did.The corners of my mouth curved upward without effort, and my eyes that had made grown men tremble were warm, almost boyish. I barely recognized myself. I hadn’t felt like this literally all my life.I exhaled slowly and stared at myself as numerous thoughts swelled in my head.Tonight, Michael would be my husband and he would belong to me forever.The suit laid out behind me was black and perfectly tailored, understated elegance instead of doing too much. I wanted nothing loud tonight, nothing to distract from him from us.I rea

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Fernando’s Irrational Decision

    Michael's POVHenry tugged on my sleeve like his life depended on it.“Michael,” he whined softly, dragging out my name the way only a child who was very hungry could. “I want a snack.”I looked down at him and sighed, though there was no real frustration in it. If anything, Henry asking for food was one of the few things that still felt normal around here.“A snack?” I asked. “Didn’t you just eat?”“That was a long time ago,” he said seriously.I checked my watch out of habit and saw it was only twenty minutes.“Sure,” I said, rubbing his hair. “Let’s go rob the kitchen before Fernando’s men eat everything.”Henry grinned and grabbed my hand, pulling me down the hallway.The safe house had changed in the past few days. It wasn’t just the flowers or the candles or the men moving around with purpose instead of guns in their hands, it was the energy, like the walls themselves knew something big was coming.A wedding.I still hadn’t fully processed that word.As we walked, my thoughts dr

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Joy

    Fernando's POVI left Michael’s room with a ridiculous smile on my face.It was much more than the usual one I had whenever I left him.Not the controlled, calculated smile I wore in meetings. Not the cold curve of my mouth that made men lower their eyes and women stiffen with fear.This one was real. It stretched my cheeks until they almost hurt, and I didn’t even bother to hide it.Michael was okay.He was not fragile, not distant, and not withdrawn into that quiet place he went to when his mind became too loud for the world to bear.He had looked beautiful, devastatingly so, and more importantly, he had laughed with me, teased me, kissed me and pushed me away with that familiar fire in his eyes and told me to wait, to save it for our wedding night.Just thinking about it made my chest swell.We had had sex several times but just the thought of how different it would feel as a married couple was enough to make my body tingle with joy.I walked down the corridor like a man who had al

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Lie I Wore

    Michael’s POVI stood in front of the mirror longer than necessary, fingers hovering at the collar of my shirt, adjusting it, then undoing it, then adjusting it again.I wasn’t nervous about my appearance. I was nervous about what tonight would change.The bedroom was quiet, too quiet for a place that usually hummed with movement and distant voices. I smoothed my jacket and studied my reflection.My phone lay face-down on the dresser, silent now. Santiago hadn’t called again after I sent the coordinates. He had only sent a single message in return."I’ll arrive before nightfall" His text had read.My chest tightened.Everything Fernando had been hiding from me, every suspicious glance, every carefully worded answer, every time someone stopped talking when I entered a room, was about to unravel.I needed to know, even if it destroyed something.A soft knock came at the door and I froze.“Michael?” Fernando’s voice followed, familiar and grounding and dangerous all at once. “Have you s

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Secret That Must Outlive Love

    Fernando’s POVThe door closed behind Mortis with a dull, final sound.It wasn’t loud, yet it echoed heavily. Across from me, Emilio sat perfectly still, his fingers laced together, his gaze sharp and assessing. Marlo leaned back in his chair, one ankle resting on his knee.“We need to assume Santiago is already looking,” I said finally.My voice sounded steady, even to me, but beneath it, something coiled tight and angry twisted in my chest. Don Santiago was not the type of man who waited for certainty. Suspicion alone was enough for him to begin cutting throats.“If he suspects anything,” I continued, straightening slowly, “he won’t wait for an invitation.”Emilio inclined his head. “Agreed.”Marlo’s mouth curved into a humorless smile. “He never does.”Mortis had already left, moving through the compound, barking orders to Fernando’s men who were free.“The location is secure,” Emilio said, leaning forward now. His voice was low and controlled. “No digital signals leaving the c
