Fernando’s POV

I leaned back in my leather chair, the room cloaked in light from the chandelier above, the smell of cigar smoke faint in the air.

My jacket hung loosely on the armrest, my shirt collar undone.

Marlo stood by the fireplace, his hands clasped behind his back, his frame stiff. His eyes, sharp, calculating, and never resting, followed me like a hawk.

I broke the silence first.

“Marlo,” I said, my voice low, carrying the weight of something unpleasant, something that had been

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Trust Me

    Theo’s POVThe sight of Michael being carried toward the private jet should have made me feel relieved. Instead, it made something inside my chest tighten.Two of my guards carried him carefully between them, his unconscious body completely limp. Another pair followed with Henry.Henry looked younger when he was unconscious, almost peaceful and somehow, that made everything worse."Careful," I ordered. "Don't drop either of them.""We've got them, sir."Kim stood several feet away. She hadn't said a word since the guards had injected Michael and Henry but I could see the anger in her face."Kim."She looked at me."Don't try to explain this to me" she said.I sighed."I think you need to listen before you decide what you think happened" I replied. "I saw what happened. You had them drugged" her voice trembled."They were trying to run.""Because they didn't want to go!" She said.I glanced toward the jet."That's precisely why I had to do it."Kim shook her head as se stepped closer.

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Gunshot

    Fernando’s POVMy eyes flicked toward the road behind the men surrounding us, as though I could somehow see through the distance and reach the airport with sheer force of will.I couldn't. The only thing standing between me and Michael was a group of armed men, and Santiago's nephew leading them.I stared at him again."You've wasted enough of my time" I said.The young man smiled."I don't think you understand your situation, Don Fernando.""I understand it perfectly" I said then glanced at the guns surrounding me. "You found me. Congratulations."His smile disappeared."My name is Adrian Santiago" he said then stepped closer. "I've spent years looking for you.""And now you've found me" I replied. He pointed his weapon directly at my chest."I don't just want to kill you. I want everything you left behind" he said.I stared at him."What exactly do you think belongs to you?" I asked.He spread his arms."Everything from your empire, your assets, your influence to your family" he an

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   No Way Out

    Michael’s POVHenry remained in the car and he didn't move. He didn't reach for the door, didn't even look toward the private jet waiting several metres away.He simply sat there with his arms crossed tightly over his chest, staring through the opposite window as though the entire airport didn't exist.Theo's patience finally snapped."Henry, get out of the car."Henry didn't respond then Theo stepped closer."I said get out" he ordered. "I'm not going."Theo's jaw clenched."Don't start this again.""I'm not starting anything" Henry replied. Kim immediately reached for Theo's arm."Dad, please."He pulled his arm away."Kim, he needs to understand that we're doing this for his own safety."Henry finally looked at him."Then why does it feel like I'm being kidnapped?" He asked.The words silenced everyone and Theo's face hardened."That's enough" he warned."No, it isn't."Henry opened the car door slightly but didn't step out."You keep telling me we're going somewhere safe, but yo

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Man Who Found Me

    Fernando’s POVThe engine roared beneath me as I pressed harder on the accelerator. The road ahead blurred into streaks of grey and green, but I barely noticed anything beyond the glowing screen of my phone.My eyes kept dropping to the tracker and I kept seeing Michael's face in that little red dot.Getting to Michael was all that mattered.The small marker on the map remained frustratingly still and i could tell he was already at the airport.My grip tightened around the steering wheel."Come on, Michael."I tapped his name again and called. The phone rang three times then the call ended with no answer."Goddammit."I tossed the phone onto the passenger seat before snatching it back almost immediately.I couldn't stop myself. I called again but nothing came from it. Behind me, the bodies of my guards' vehicles remained visible, following closely.I could hear one of them speaking through the radio but nothing they said registered in my brain. It was as if I was physically in the car

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Point of No Return

    Michael’s POVThe silence inside the vehicle was becoming unbearable.I sat beside Henry, staring through the window as the city blurred past us. Buildings, traffic lights, shops and pedestrians all disappeared behind us almost as quickly as they appeared.I didn't know where we were going. Theo had refused to tell me. Every time I asked, he gave me the same vague answer but none of those answers told me where we were actually going.And that frightened me.I looked at Theo. He sat opposite us, completely composed, as though he hadn't just orchestrated the most insane situation I had ever experienced.Kim sat beside him. She hadn't said much since getting into the vehicle.Henry had tried several times to talk to her, but she kept giving him short answers or avoiding his questions altogether.I could see the hurt in Henry's face. He didn't understand why the person he loved was suddenly acting like a stranger."Kim, are you okay?" I asked.She looked at me then nodded."I'm fine."Her

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Cut Off

    Ashley’s POVI slammed my palm against the steering wheel and leaned heavily on the horn. The sound blared through the air, loud and relentless, but the vehicles blocking the road didn't move.Whatever had come over Theo's men after Michael's car had swerved into another road, was starting to make me extremely angry."Move!" I yelled, my voice high as my anger surged through. I honked again but nothing happened. These men were actually ignoring me,as if I was merely breeze blowing in their ears and not someone in a hurry to follow her best friend. My hands tightened around the steering wheel as I watched Michael's vehicle disappear farther into the distance."No, no, no..."I could still see it but not as clear as before. The black vehicle carrying Michael and Henry was getting smaller with every passing second.They were leaving and I couldn't follow them and It was all these dumb men's fault.I pressed the horn again, harder this time, as if sheer frustration could force the veh

    Fernando’s POV The morning felt almost too peaceful.I sat at the small wooden table in the safe house kitchen, the aroma of scrambled eggs, toasted bread, and Henry’s overly sweet coffee drifting lazily in the air.Henry put his fork on a piece of pancake onto his plate, humming something cheerfu

The suit fit me like it had been sewn directly onto my body. It didn’t restrict my movement, but it remin
