His Vows

Fernando's POV

The moment Michael’s hand slid into mine, the world narrowed.

His hand was warm, but I could feel the tension in it, the slight tremor he was trying very hard to hide.

His shoulders were straight, his chin lifted, but I knew him too well. Beneath the composure was a storm of thought and doubt and fear.

I tightened my grip just a little.

He looked at me then, really looked at me, and his breath caught. I saw the flicker of emotion that passed through his eyes.

"You’re here," I thought. "You didn’t run."

That alone felt like a victory.

The priest cleared his throat again, his voice echoing faintly in the intimate space.

“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today—”

I barely heard him. Instead, I leaned closer to Michael, my voice low enough that only he could hear.

“Breathe.”

He let out a shaky exhale.

“I am.”

“You’re doing well,” I murmured. “I’ve got you.”

His fingers curled around mine more tightly, as if those words anchored him.

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Walk That Changes Everything

    Michael's POVThe door hadn’t opened yet, and already my heart felt like it was trying to claw its way out of my chest.I stood there in the narrow space behind the hall, the low music from inside drifting through the thick wood like a distant pulse. Everyone was standing now, waiting for me.I adjusted my grip on Henry’s small hand for what felt like the tenth time in a minute. His palm was warm and slightly sweaty, excitement radiating off him in waves. On my other side, Ashley stood close, too close to be casual, close enough that I knew she was ready to catch me if my knees finally gave out.“You’re shaking,” she murmured.“I’m not,” I lied automatically.She squeezed my arm. “Michael.”I exhaled slowly, forcing myself to unclench my shoulders. “Okay. Maybe a little.”Henry looked up at me, his eyes wide and sparkling. “Is it my turn soon?”I smiled despite myself. “Soon, buddy.”I had caught a glimpse of Fernando earlier, just a second, just enough to lodge itself into my m

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Music Holds Its Breath

    Fernando’s POVI had already dressed twice. Now, standing still before the full-length mirror, I adjusted my cufflinks for the third time.They were flawless silver, engraved, and custom-made. The suit fit me like it had been sewn directly onto my body. It didn’t restrict my movement, but it reminded me of who I was, what I carried and what I ruled.I straightened my jacket one final time and turned away from the mirror just as a knock echoed through the room. “Come in,” I said.The door opened, and Marlo stepped inside.He was already dressed as well, dark suit, immaculate lines, his posture straight and alert.Marlo had seen me at my worst and that made him invaluable.“You’re early,” he said, glancing briefly at the clock on the wall.“I don’t intend to be late to my own wedding,” I replied calmly.He huffed out a quiet breath. “You’ve checked the time six times in the last ten minutes.”“I like knowing where I stand.”His eyes flicked to me. “You like controlling where everyth

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Before the door opens

    Michael’s POVI almost didn’t recognize myself. I stared at my reflection like it belonged to a stranger.The man staring back wore a tailored black suit that hugged his shoulders perfectly. The white shirt beneath was crisp, the cufflinks gleaming softly under the warm light. My hair had been styled carefully, every strand placed with intention.Fernando never tolerated imperfection and yet, no matter how flawless the image appeared, I felt like I was splintering apart from the inside.My chest felt too tight, like the air in the room had thickened. My heartbeat was loud, too loud, thudding in my ears in a frantic rhythm that refused to calm.This was happening tonight. I was about to marry Fernando.The words echoed in my head, heavy and unreal, as though saying them enough times might make them settle but they didn’t. My gaze drifted to the dresser and i saw my phone there, face down.I reached for it instinctively then froze halfway. My fingers hovered inches above the screen, tr

  • 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
