Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don Blood on Concrete
Fernando’s POVA light drizzle made the streets shimmer like wet tar under the tires of my black car as it rolled to a slow halt outside the warehouse. I didn’t need to step out to know what waited inside. The air was heavy with the metallic taste of tension, the kind that clings to the skin like smoke after a gunfight.I opened the door, the scent of oil, rust, and something darker hitting me all at once. The warehouse stood like a wounded beast—silent and watchful, its broken windows and twisted steel doors a testimony of the violence that had taken place just days ago.Marlo stood waiting outside, one foot tapping anxiously against the pavement. His hands were tucked into the pockets of his brown leather jacket, shoulders hunched from the cold or the pressure—maybe both."This had better be worth it," I said, stepping out with two of my guards flanking me like shadows.Marlo’s eyes flicked to mine. “I wouldn't call you here if it wasn't.”I said nothing, just lit a cigarette an
Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don Things Left Unsaid
Michael’s POVThe soft buzz of conversation and the low hum of the espresso machine filled the warm air at Kafé Verse as I wiped down the wooden counter for the fifth time in ten minutes.I looked around the café, catching Ivy at the register organizing the tip jar, her long fingers brushing the coins into a neat stack. A strange sense of anticipation—or dread—hung around me like fog.The door chimed.I didn’t even need to turn around to know who it was. His energy always came first. A calm that was trying too hard. Like a storm beneath glass.Fernando.He stepped inside, one hand clasped tightly around Henry’s small one, the other tucked deep into the pocket of his trousers. He looked calm, but his eyes told a different story.There was a storm behind them. Something brewing.“Michael,” Fernando said, flashing me a too-quick smile, like he hoped it would be enough to pass as casual. “Hey.”I raised an eyebrow and grabbed a clean dish towel from under the counter. “Hey.”Henry pul
Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don A Place for Him
Fernando’s POVMy expensive black car hummed beneath us as we pulled up to the front gate of Richmond Elementary School. The morning sun glistened against the tall white buildings with gold trimmings, casting a regal glow over the prestigious grounds. The lush emerald-green lawns were freshly mowed, and a line of expensive cars filled the drop-off area, driven by chauffeurs in suits and polished caps. It screamed wealth and legacy. Perfect for Henry.Henry sat beside me in the backseat, eyes wide, mouth slightly agape as he pressed his nose to the glass. His small fingers clutched his backpack tightly, his little chest rising and falling with anticipation.“Is this… my school?” he asked, his voice soft and awestruck.“It could be,” I said, smiling at him. “If you want it to be.”He blinked at me, then smiled back, a dimple showing on one cheek. “It’s so… big. And clean.”I chuckled. “That’s how you know they charge an ungodly amount.”Two of my guards stepped out immediately and
Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don A Dangerous Claim
Archer's POV The sky was bright, too damn bright. Sunshine spilled over the street outside Kafé Verse like it had something to prove. My sunglasses did little to cut through the glare, and I found myself squinting as I stepped outside, Michael a step behind me, looking more confused than wary—a mistake he kept making with me."What is this about?" he asked, crossing his arms the second we were out of earshot from the rest of his coworkers. The front windows of the café glared like eyes. Ivy, Mateo, and Liam pretended not to stare, but I could feel their curiosity stretching like invisible wires between us.I didn’t answer him right away. I let my gaze drift down the street, scanning for pedestrians, possible eavesdroppers. This wasn’t the kind of conversation I wanted echoing through those walls.Finally, I turned to face him fully."Why is Henry living with you?"Michael blinked, clearly not expecting that to be my first question. "Because I’m the one he chose. He’s comfortable
Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don Stirring Shadows at Kafé Verse
Michael’s POV The wind was already hot when I stepped out of the cab, and it felt like summer had no intention of backing down anytime soon. I jogged the last few steps toward the front doors of Kafé Verse. Late again. I hated that. But I also knew trying to argue with the traffic would be like trying to reason with a hurricane.As soon as I stepped inside, the familiar aroma of roasted beans, cinnamon, and freshly baked scones hit me like a warm blanket. There was the subtle clinking of mugs, the low hum of conversations, and the comforting chatter of Ivy, Mateo, and Liam working the counter.Ivy caught sight of me first, a wide grin blooming across her face as she waved a cloth in the air like a flag of mockery. "Well, well, well, if it isn't Sleeping Beauty himself, gracing us with his royal presence.""Sorry," I muttered, hurrying past the counter to grab my apron. "I had to prepare Henry to go for an interview in a school and he was being too slow.""You’re lucky I’m not the
Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don Stepping into the Unknown
Fernando’s POV The morning light filtered through my bedroom windows, casting golden rays over the floor. I sat at the edge of my bed, elbows on my knees, phone in my hand, staring at Michael’s name on the screen. I had been staring at it for ten minutes. Debating what to do.Should I text him?After everything—after a couple days ago, after Henry chose to stay with him instead of me—I wasn’t sure if reaching out would feel intrusive. But this wasn’t about me or Michael. It was about Henry. My son. My blood.So I texted him."I want to register Henry in a school. A good one. Today."I didn’t expect a warm reply. I didn’t even expect a thank you. But Michael responded a minute later with a simple:"Okay. I’ll get him ready."I didn’t know how to read that. Was it reluctant? Neutral? Cooperative? My mind was a sea of questions.Michael had this way of keeping things wrapped in a kind tone even when he wasn’t fine. And after everything—me showing up at his apartment unannounced, my pa
