Theo's POV

There were many places I would rather have been tonight but instead, I was here sitting across from Vanessa Caldwell, smiling like I enjoyed every second of this dinner.

I didn’t, not even a little.

Vanessa Caldwell was beautiful in the way magazine covers described beauty with perfect hair, flawless makeup, a sleek black dress that probably cost more than most people’s monthly rent.

She was powerful too, one of the most influential investors in the luxury automotive industry and ton

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Too Close

    Michael's POVI shouldn’t have followed him.That thought crossed my mind the moment I pushed open the restroom door but by then it was already too late.Theo Park stood by the sink, drying his hands with one of the crisp white paper towels. The light above the mirror reflected off the polished marble counter, casting a soft glow across the room.He looked up the second I walked in, his eyes met mine first then that calm, irritating expression spread across his face again.The same one he had worn when I punched him earlier. The same one he had worn while Henry stood beside him instead of me.“Well, this is becoming a habit” Theo said casually, tossing the paper towel into the trash. I shut the door behind me. The quiet click of the lock echoed louder than it should have.“You’re following me now?” he continued mildly.“I’m not following you.”“No?”His eyebrow lifted slightly.“Because it looks very much like you walked into a restroom just to glare at me” he said.I took a few step

    Theo's POVThere were many places I would rather have been tonight but instead, I was here sitting across from Vanessa Caldwell, smiling like I enjoyed every second of this dinner.I didn’t, not even a little.Vanessa Caldwell was beautiful in the way magazine covers described beauty with perfect hair, flawless makeup, a sleek black dress that probably cost more than most people’s monthly rent.She was powerful too, one of the most influential investors in the luxury automotive industry and tonight, she was the key to expanding my operation.Which meant I had to play along. Even if the entire situation felt like a performance.Vanessa lifted her wine glass and swirled the dark liquid slowly.“You’re unusually quiet tonight, Theo.”I smiled. The kind of smile that made people think you were listening very carefully.“I’m listening.”She tilted her head.“That’s not the same thing.”Her eyes lingered on me longer than necessary.There it was, the look.Vanessa Caldwell had been interest

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Unfinished Conversation

    Michael’s POV I shouldn’t have called Ramon.The thought had crossed my mind at least ten times during the drive to the restaurant, but I had already made the reservation, already texted him the address, already committed myself to this strange idea that maybe spending a few hours pretending my life wasn’t falling apart would help.It hadn’t.The moment I sat down at the table, the weight of the day crashed over me again.I stared at the untouched glass of whiskey in front of me and rotated it slowly between my fingers.The restaurant was one of those quiet upscale places downtown where the lighting was soft, the tables were spaced far apart, and every plate looked like it belonged in an art gallery instead of on a dining table.Normally I liked it but tonight it felt suffocating.“Michael?”I looked up.Ramon had just arrived at the table.He was dressed in a rather cute way, different from work. His dark hair was still perfectly styled, though he looked a little rushed, like he had

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Fractures

    Michael’s POV The moment Theo Park stepped into the principal’s office with Kim beside him, something inside my chest snapped.His dark coat was perfectly tailored, his posture relaxed, and his expression carried that same quiet confidence that had irritated me since the day he moved into the house across the street.Kim stood beside him, clutching the strap of her school bag nervously.Henry straightened in his chair when he saw her.“Kim,” he said quietly.Her eyes softened immediately.“Henry… your eye…”“I’m fine.”Theo’s gaze slowly moved across the room. It paused briefly on Ashley then on the principal and finally it landed on me.I stood up before anyone else could say a word.“What are you doing here?”Theo raised one eyebrow slightly, as if genuinely surprised by the hostility.“Good afternoon to you too,” he said mildly.The principal cleared his throat.“Mr. Santos, Mr. Park is here because his daughter was involved in the incident" he replied. I gestured angrily toward

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Standing at the Door

    Michael’s POV By the time Ashley and I pulled into the driveway at Henry’s school, my chest felt like it was being squeezed.The school was exactly what you would expect from a private academy that catered to the wealthiest families in the city.Ashley turned off the engine slowly and for a moment neither of us moved.“He’s never gotten into trouble before,” Ashley said quietly.Her voice carried the same disbelief I was feeling.“He must have had a reason,” she added.I stared straight ahead at the main building. “There’s always a reason" I said but that didn’t mean it was a good one.Ashley turned toward me. “Michael… the call sounded serious.”I exhaled slowly through my nose.“Yeah, it did” I muttered but the more I thought about it, it seemed impossible.Henry… fighting someone? It didn’t add up.He could be stubborn, rebellious sometimes and moody like most teenagers, but he wasn’t violent.Ashley reached over and touched my arm gently.“We’ll handle it,” she said.I nodded.

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Old Habits

    Michael’s POV I leaned back in my chair, staring at the screen in front of me while rubbing the bridge of my nose. I had been digging for hours now, trying to connect two things that refused to meet and that was Theo and the Ramirez family.It shouldn't have been this hard.If Theo had any connection to them, there should have been something like an old report, a financial tie, a partnership, a whisper of collaboration between organizations, but every search I ran came back clean.I tapped my pen against the desk."Come on, nobody's this invisible" I muttered under my breath. I opened another file, one that had nothing to do with Theo directly but everything to do with the other name that had been haunting my mind since that night at the warehouse.My stomach tightened as the latest intelligence report on the Ramirez family appeared.I still couldn’t believe it had been seven long years since I had run.My fingers hovered over the trackpad before I scrolled. The report was extensiv
