Michael’s POV

I don’t know what it was about today, but everything around me felt heavier, like the walls of this damned house had grown teeth and eyes, watching my every move, ready to swallow me whole.

I had taken refuge in my room — the only space in this godforsaken mansion that still felt like mine.

The sheets were freshly laid; the scent of lavender clung stubbornly to the fabric like a memory I couldn’t place.

I threw another magazine into the growing pile of papers by the window and began straightening out the books on my desk.

Cleaning was never something I bothered with before, but lately… it was the one thing that gave me a sense of control.

I folded a shirt, placed it in the wardrobe, smoothed out a wrinkle on the duvet, and sat on the bed, admiring the small victory.

My space was finally in order.

Maybe if the outside world was falling apart, at least in here I could pretend things were normal.

Just then, my phone buzzed on the nightstand.

Damian.

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   A Tide Brings Vengeance

    Archer’s POV The waves were restless today.It was not the kind that soothed or whispered you into calm—their crashing roared against the jagged rocks like fists, like threats. The bright morning sun painted a golden slash across the ocean, reflecting light into the wide glass windows of my beach house. But even that light made me uneasy.I hadn’t slept.I actually couldn’t sleep no matter how hard I had tried all night.And not because I wasn’t tired. No, I was bone-tired, worn out, and frayed, but my mind wouldn't shut off. It spun like a carousel, flashing memories I couldn’t scrub from my brain no matter how many glasses of scotch I drank.Michael’s face, twisted in panic as the bullet collided with his flesh.The bruises on his skin when I pushed things too far.Suddenly, I started to get all up in my head into what was going to happen anytime now.I could almost visualise the look in Fernando’s eyes when he realized what I had done.No.There was no time to rest even now.I p

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   A Mistake I Didn’t Mean to Make

    Michael’s POV I wasn’t asleep.I hadn’t slept all night, if I was being honest.I laid there on the bed, my eyes closed, heart pulsing in the quiet dark like a slow drum. Every breath Fernando took from the floor beside me echoed in my chest. Shallow, soft inhales. A little uneven, like maybe he hadn’t slept either. And I knew, I knew it was because of what I said.That it was a mistake.The words kept replaying in my head, over and over, as if they were etched into the ceiling. My voice, distant and detached. “It was a mistake.”Fernando hadn’t said anything after Ashley caught us in the kitchen, mouths still tingling from the kiss. His eyes had just… changed, hardened. And without a word, he grabbed a pillow and laid it down on the floor, as far from me as he could get. No argument. No drama.Just silence.And it was that silence that screamed the loudest.So I lay there, pretending to sleep, pretending not to hear the soft sounds of his shifting, or the quiet sighs that I knew

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Lines We Crossed

    Fernando's POV The cold hardwood floor was the first thing I became aware of when I opened my eyes. That, and the pain screaming across my lower back.I groaned, shifting just a little, but it sent a shock of discomfort straight up my spine. My blanket had twisted around me in the night, tangled and half off my body, the pillow barely doing anything for my neck.“Fuck,” I muttered under my breath. “Great idea, genius.”Sleeping on the floor had felt like a power move last night. Dramatic, final, and righteous. After Michael called our kiss a mistake in front of Ashley, I couldn’t just crawl into the same bed as him and pretend it didn’t sting like hell.But now, with the light of morning crawling in through the blinds and my entire body aching like I had been in a car crash, the gesture felt a lot less poetic.I sat up, wincing. My joints popped like old wood under pressure.Michael was still in the bed, turned away from me, the blanket tucked around him like a cocoon. His chest ros

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Cracks in the Glass

    Michael's POV The kitchen light above flickered once, like it was struggling to catch its breath, and then glowed steadily. Cold air drifted from the half-open refrigerator, brushing against the sweat on my back. My hands were still clutched around the glass of water, but I hadn’t taken a single sip. Fernando was standing way too close—his breath, warm and fast, brushing against my cheek. His hand had just been on my chest a moment ago. I hadn’t pushed him away immediately.And that was the part I hated the most.I heard her before I saw her—bare feet slapping against the hardwood floor, fast and angry, like a storm coming. The moment I turned, I knew we were caught.Ashley stood at the kitchen entrance, her arms crossed over her chest, her sleep shirt hanging off one shoulder. Her dark eyes flared with fury, and her voice cracked like a whip.“What the hell is happening here?”My whole body went cold.“Shit,” Fernando muttered.I shoved him back instinctively, as if putting dista

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Tension and Temptation

    Fernando's POV The moment our lips collided, everything else disappeared. Michael tasted like fire and memory. His mouth moved with such stubborn defiance—like he was trying to punish me, prove a point—but I knew the rhythm. I knew the way he kissed when he was angry. It was deep, desperate and needy. And I gave in like I always did. Our bodies pressed together in the tangle of sheets, breaths coming in hot and fast. My hand was still on his waist, fingers trembling as I gripped the hem of his shirt and slowly pushed upward. He didn’t stop me. Not yet. God, I had missed this. I had missed him. I missed the way his skin warmed under my touch, the way he made that little sound when I kissed the corner of his mouth, like he wanted more but didn’t want to admit it. He pulled back slightly, just enough to see his face. His eyes were dark with something dangerous—desire, fear and frustration. “You should’ve told me to stop,” I whispered. “You should’ve never started,” he shot

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Heat Between the Sheets

    Michael’s POV The silence in the guest bedroom wrapped around me like a second skin—uncomfortable, hot, and too thick to breathe in.I sat on the edge of the bed, still fuming.The argument from earlier replayed in my head like a broken record.The humiliation burned through me like acid. The sound of the bathroom door creaking open snapped me out of my thoughts.Fernando stepped out, his dark hair damp, clinging to his forehead, a towel still around his neck. He looked fresh out of a storm—annoyed, tired, and… stupidly attractive in that wrinkled, brooding way that always seemed unintentional.But what caught my attention wasn’t his wet hair or the way his broad shoulders filled the doorway. It was what he did next.Instead of walking to the bed, he reached for one of the pillows and tossed it onto the floor, then grabbed the spare blanket from the chair and laid it out like he was preparing for war.I blinked. “What are you doing?”He didn’t answer at first, just sank to his kne
