Fernando’s POV

I stood on the cracked sidewalk, watching the taillights of Ashley’s car disappear into the night.

The red glow pulsed once, twice, then faded into the distance until it was swallowed completely by the dark.

The cold stretch of the road felt infinite, like a road leading not just away from me—but away from everything I had left.

Above my head, the flickering motel sign buzzed its dull neon hum. The sun cast a sickly, uneven light over my boots, making the cracks in the pavement look deeper than they were.

My jaw ached from the tension. I hadn’t realized I had been clenching it so hard until I tasted copper on my tongue.

They had Henry, my son, and I was stuck here.

The air was sharp with the faint tang of coming rain, mingling with the stale scent of gasoline drifting from the nearby highway.

The sound of passing cars came in waves—sometimes a low hum, sometimes the sharp hiss of tires tearing through puddles further down the road. Each one felt like a taunt, as if t

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Play date with a Don

    Fernando’s POVThe steady, deliberate tick of the clock in my office was the only sound competing with the muffled laughter of children drifting from the far corner of the room. The tick wasn’t loud, but in moments like this, it felt as if it punctuated every breath, every beat in the unspoken power game unfolding across my desk. The air was thick with the warm scent of polished mahogany and the faint bite of cigar smoke curling toward the high ceiling.Henry should have been in school, but he wasn’t.He was here, sitting cross-legged on the thick Persian rug, his dark hair falling over his forehead as he stared at the pile of miniature soldiers scattered between him and Javier Martinez’s son, Diego. Javier had insisted on bringing the boy along, saying it would “be good for them to play.” I had had my doubts. In my world, men brought children into meetings for one of two reasons: to distract, or to make a point.Across the table, Javier’s smile was just a little too wide, the kin

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Unreasonable Choice

    Michael’s POV The heat of the air rose in waves, mixing with the bitter scent of exhaust fumes and old coffee spilling from somewhere near the dumpsters. I could hear the muted hum of the city just beyond the wall of Kafé Verse’s parking lot. But right here, right now, the world felt fixed into one narrow stretch of ground between me and Archer.He stood with two of his bodyguards flanking him — one on each side like they were there to keep him from stepping out of line, but I knew better. They were here to make sure I didn’t. The taller one wore mirrored sunglasses even though the sun had dipped behind thick clouds; the other kept his hands folded loosely in front of him, a show of casualness that I knew was a lie.Archer had that half-smirk he always wore when he thought he had the upper hand, his expensive coat collar pulled up against a wind that wasn’t even there. His eyes didn’t blink much but they stayed on me, sharp, waiting.And I hated that his words from earlier still e

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Archer's Deal

    Michael’s POV The moment Archer stepped through the café door, the air thickened and it felt like the entire world around me had suddenly gone still.I wasn’t afraid of him—not in the way most people were—but that didn’t mean my pulse didn’t kick into overdrive. My fingers curled into my palms under the counter, but this wasn’t fear; it was something colder. A sharpened awareness.Because I knew more than anyone in this room how much Archer hated me.Not the petty, eye-roll kind of hate. No—his was the kind you nurtured, fed, and kept alive for long time, waiting for the right moment to use it. I had suspected that he was the one who sent the sniper to Ashley’s apartment that day to shoot me but it had hit Fernando instead.It was meant for me but the sniper had missed, hitting Fernando instead. The impact had sent him crashing to the ground, his head smacking the concrete. And just like that, ten months of his memory were gone.Archer knew exactly what that accident had done—to me

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   An Empty Morning

    Michael’s POV The sun felt wrong today.I don’t mean it was too hot or too bright—it just… didn’t belong. It entered through the blinds of Ashley’s apartment in long, slanted lines that landed across the sofa where I sat hunched over, staring at the floor. The warmth on my skin was useless. It couldn’t seep deep enough to reach the cold inside me.It had been one day—twenty-four hours—since Fernando had taken Henry away.My chest tightened as the memory replayed for the hundredth time. The beach. Henry’s small hand slipping from mine. Fernando’s voice, too calm for someone who had just torn my world in half.I rubbed my temples and let out a low breath that came out more like a growl.I was never the kind of man to admit defeat, but right now? The weight of failure sat like a stone in my gut.The sound of clinking dishes broke through my thoughts. Ashley was in the kitchen, moving with her usual efficiency, her hair tied up and her work clothes already on.“Michael?” Her voice was

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Ghost I Never Knew

    Fernando’s POV The gates to my mansion compound groaned open like some great beast waking from sleep.Archer’s car — sleek, black, and almost predatory in its polished sheen — rolled forward. Sunlight flashed across the tinted windows as it crossed the threshold, entering my domain like it had every right to be here.I stood still, my hands clasped loosely behind my back, my face betraying nothing.In truth, I didn’t remember him, not a flicker, not a shadow of a memory.But his earlier words still clung to me like smoke."We were together before you lost your memories."That in itself was enough to make my pulse thud harder in my chest — not because of some surge of hidden affection but because it was a revelation. If it was true, it meant that after Michael I had been with someone else.I had always assumed Michael was the only one who had… mattered.Marlo, standing at my side like the giant pillar he had always been, gave a small huff of disapproval.“This is a mistake,” he mutt

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Stranger at My Gates

    Fernando’s POV The roar of the engines was the only sound filling the long, winding driveway as my cars pulled up toward the mansion. It was a sound I had grown up with — the deep purr of power beneath metal, the hum of expensive precision — yet lately, even that familiar sound felt strangely hollow to me. I leaned back against the soft leather of the rear seat, the scent of new car polish mixing with the faint trace of my cologne.Beside me, Henry sat stiffly, his little arms crossed tight across his chest. His eyes, sharp and distant, were fixed on the view beyond the tinted glass. I had caught him stealing glances at me several times during the ride, but each time I turned my head, he looked away as though the very act of meeting my gaze was a crime.The convoy rolled to a stop before the grand front steps. Through the window, I saw them waiting — a line of maids in perfectly pressed uniforms, hands folded before them, heads slightly bowed in practiced respect. At the center s
