Fernando's POV

It was one of those rare nights when the silence felt heavier than sound. The kind of quiet that didn't come with peace—only with weight.

The walls of Santiago's mansion were thick, designed to trap secrets, and yet tonight they felt like they were closing in on me, trying to trap something else.

Maybe regret, maybe truth, or maybe just my ghosts.

Michael had left my room in anger, earlier. His footsteps had faded down the hallway, sharp and angry.

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   If He Dies

    Michael’s POVThe sirens were the first thing I heard.They grew louder with every passing second until an ambulance came racing onto the airport tarmac, its red lights flashing against the dark shy.For a moment, I couldn't move, I was still kneeling beside Fernando.His blood was all over my hands, ll over my clothes and I couldn't stop staring at it."Please," I whispered. "Please, Fernando."The paramedics rushed toward us with a stretcher."Sir, we need to move him."I immediately shook my head."No, let me hold him” I cried."We need to get him into the ambulance” they said hurriedly."Is he going to survive?" I asked.The paramedic glanced at Fernando's wound."We need to treat him immediately” he said."Is he going to survive?" I asked again.He looked at me."We're going to do everything we can” he replied.That wasn't the answer I wanted but it was the only one I was getting.I reluctantly moved away then the paramedics carefully lifted Fernando onto the stretcher.His head

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Price of Redemption

    Fernando's POVFor several seconds, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. 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?" Henry asked."I'll be right behind you" Michael answered. Henry hesitated but Michael gave him a reassuring look."Go."Henry finally moved and he walked carefully toward me. I stepped forward and reached for him. The moment

  • 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

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Unable To Escape

    Fernando's POVMy lungs were burning. My legs felt like they were about to give out beneath me, but I refused to slow down.Mortis was running beside me, breathing heavily, but neither of us said anything.We had one destination and as soon as I could see the private aviation area ahead, my heart slammed against my ribs."That's it!" Mortis shouted.I followed his gaze and then I saw them. My entire body froze for half a second.There were guards everywhere. 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. Michael's head snapped toward me, his eyes widened."Fernando?"Henry turned then his entire expression changed."Dad!"Relief flooded Michael's face so quickly that it nearly broke me. He looked exhauste

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   He Found Us

    Theo’s POVMichael stared at me as though I had suddenly become a stranger, perhaps, in that moment, I was.The gun remained pointed at him, my finger resting carefully along the side of the trigger.I wasn't going to shoot him and judging by the way his eyes remained fixed on the weapon, he was beginning to understand that I wasn't bluffing either.For several seconds, neither of us moved. Henry stood beside Michael, looking between the two of us with confusion and fear written all over his face.Kim was behind them, completely frozen."Dad," she whispered.I didn't look at her. My attention remained on Michael."Sit down" I said for what felt like the hundredth time.Michael swallowed. His eyes flickered toward Henry and that was when I saw the calculation happening behind his eyes.He was considering his options.I knew Michael well enough to understand what he was thinking. He could probably disarm me..If he moved quickly enough, he could close the distance between us, knock the g

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Thirty Minutes Too Late

    Fernando’s POVThe moment I stepped out of the car, I knew I was running out of time.Munich Airport stretched before me, enormous and unfamiliar, filled with travelers dragging suitcases, airport employees rushing between terminals, and announcements echoing through the vast building.None of it mattered. I had one thing on my mind and that was to find Michael and Henry.I slammed the car door behind me and immediately started walking."Come on," I muttered.Mortis got out after me."Fernando, wait" he said but I didn't wait.I asked some airport workers if they could tell me the whereabouts to Michael but they were completely clueless. "I don't have time to wait" I said to Mortis eventually. "You need to think" he insisted. "I've been thinking for the last hour" I replied then turned toward him. "And every second I've spent thinking is another second Theo has had to disappear with them."Mortis sighed."Running around asking random airport workers isn't going to make them appear"
