No Turning Back

last update Last Updated: 2025-03-28 16:09:26

Fernando’s POV

The road stretched ahead, dark and empty.

The only sound was the low hum of the engine as we followed the black van through the night.

The lights from the van were bright and sharp, cutting through the darkness.

I sat in the back seat, silent.

Michael was beside me, arms crossed, deep in thought.

Marlo was in the front passenger seat.

For the past ten minutes, he had barely moved, staring out the window, his jaw tight.

He wasn’t sulking—no, he wasn’t the type—but I knew he was holding back. Restraining himself.

Smart choice.

The last thing I needed right now was another argument.

We drove in silence.

Michael shifted beside me. His fingers tapped absently against his knee, his thoughts likely the same as mine.

Then, I saw it.

Up ahead, the road narrowed, leading into a more secluded area surrounded by trees.

Perfect.

I leaned forward slightly.

“Stop the car.”

My driver hesitated for half a second before obeying. The car gradually came to a stop.

Michael turned to me,

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Man Who Woke the Storm

    Michael’s POVI held Henry tighter to my chest, his small frame trembling against mine like a leaf caught in a storm. His fingers dug into the fabric of my shirt, and his face was hidden, buried into my shoulder like he could disappear if he pressed hard enough. I could feel his breath, short and uneven, each inhale an effort not to fall apart.And I wasn’t doing much better.The hospital room smelled like antiseptic and something heavier. Something lifeless. A cruel echo of hope hanging by a thread. Fernando’s room was properly lit, machines blinking softly beside him, their mechanical rhythms an eerie lullaby. I hadn’t expected the room to be empty, but I never expected them to be here especially at this time.Marlo amd Anabelle.Their eyes narrowed as they looked at me then Henry. I could see the disappointment in Marlo’s eyes because Henry being here with me right now only meant his men had failed to take Henry from school. They stood on either side of Fernando’s hospital bed

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   A Throne Without a Crown

    Marlo’s POV The scent of antiseptic burned faintly in my nose as I pushed open the door to Fernando’s hospital room. The hallway behind me was as silent as a mausoleum. Anabelle followed closely, the soft clack of her heels barely breaking the oppressive hush that weighed on this part of the hospital reserved for the highest-paying men in the city.They had moved him—upgraded him, as the nurse proudly said when I checked in. Fernando now lay in a private suite far away from the regular patients, as if walls and white sheets could protect him from the consequences of a life built on power and blood.He looked smaller in that hospital bed. Strange, how someone who once made entire boardrooms tremble with a single word could now lie unmoving, vulnerable and silent. Wires tangled around his arms like vines reclaiming a dying tree. The steady beep of machines was the only sign he still had a grip on life.I walked slowly toward him, trying not to let my emotions show. But it burned. Da

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Sound of the bell

    Michael’s POV I was already feeling it—that slow, lazy heaviness creeping into my limbs, the kind that only came from sitting in one spot too long. My fingers lay limp on the steering wheel, the crust of my now-cold pizza sitting in the passenger seat like an afterthought. Today had not gone anyway like how I planned. I wasn’t complaining, I would do this and more if it meant keeping Henry safe, but I hadn't expected to spend the entire day in my car.I sighed, letting my head fall back against the headrest. The late afternoon sun filtered through the windshield, warming the car’s interior just enough to lull me into the edges of a nap.Richmond Elementary stood quiet and still ahead of me, its red-brick structure tinted gold by the sun. Parents were beginning to crowd at the gates, the murmurs of soft conversations and occasional laughter floating through the air. But I couldn’t bring myself to care.I was tired, dead tired.It had been numerous long hours since I parked outside

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Weight of a Name

    Marlo’s POV The moment I ended the call with Michael, I slammed the phone down so hard I heard the case crack. “Damn it!” I hissed, pacing the floor like a caged animal. Michael had messed it all up. Everything. All I wanted to do was to take Henry calmly when he was done from school and convince the kid it would be safer for him to be by my side in Fernando’s mansion. Simple. But somehow, Michael had taken it upon himself to act like a damn hero, swooping in to protect Henry like he was some noble father figure. It wasn’t his job. It was mine. Mine. I raked my hands through my hair, teeth clenched, jaw twitching from how hard I was grinding it. The room smelled like steam and roses. Anabelle had just finished ironing. The scent always calmed me before. Now it made me sick. “Marlo,” her voice came gently from the bedroom doorway. She was holding a dark charcoal suit—tailored, sharp-edged, and cold-looking. “You need to get dressed. The meeting is in an hour.” I di

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   A Watchful Eye and a Box of Pizza

    Michael’s POV I sat parked beneath the shadow of a scraggly oak tree across from Richmond Elementary, the engine off, my phone face-down on the passenger seat, and the smell of leather seats slowly turning stale in the summer heat. The AC hadn’t been running for over an hour now, but I didn’t mind. The sweat gathering at the base of my neck, under my shirt reminded me I was alive, alert and waiting. My eyes flicked up to the rearview mirror for the hundredth time. There it was. That black car was still there. The nerve of those morherfuckers to follow me to a school and try to get their hands on a child just because of their own personal gain. I had two suspects on who could have sent those bastsrds to watch Henry’s movement and it could either be Archer or Marlo. It had been parked two cars down and slightly behind me since 7:50 AM—right after I dropped Henry off for school. I didn’t need to see the faces inside to know exactly who they were so I couldn't know for sure whom

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Beginning of the end

    Michael’s POV I knew I was fired. Even without a letter, a call, or an official notice, I felt it in my bones. After the mess with Archer, there was no doubt in my mind: I wouldn’t be stepping foot back into Kafé Verse again. I stared blankly at the ceiling above my bed, arms folded under my head, the fan slicing the early Monday morning air with a slow, rhythmic hum. The air was thick with silence, broken only by the distant noise of neighbors and the sound of cartoons playing softly from the living room. I lost a job, I had a child to raise, Fernando was still in the hospital, and a man wants me dead. Hell of a way to start the week. Still, I had no time to sulk or dwell. Today wasn’t about me—it was about Henry. His first day at Richmond Elementary. And he was thrilled. I rolled out of bed, cracked my back with a long stretch, and wandered into the living room, where Henry sat cross-legged on the couch wearing nothing but his boxers and a superhero cape. A spoon dangled
