Michael’s POV

Pain.

Blinding, searing, unrelenting pain.

It ripped through my body like a wildfire, burning every nerve, every muscle, every damn thought in my head.

The heat of it was unbearable, radiating from my shoulders and burning its way into my chest.

This was worse than what I had thought it would feel like if I ever got shot.

I gasped, but the air I sucked in was practically nothing, useless.

Gunfire roared around me, a loud, chaotic sounds of violence. But I barely registered it.

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Michael’s Hard Glare

    Fernando’s POVI saw Theo outside the restaurant, watching and my jaw tightened so hard it almost hurt.So that was his plan.Disrupt my dinner with Michael, create chaos and push himself back into Michael’s attention.Pathetic.And yet, effective in the most annoying way possible because now Michael was tense again.I could feel the shift in Michael's energy, the way his shoulders had gone rigid, the way his instincts had snapped back into survival mode instead of calm conversation.Theo had ruined the moment completely.I exhaled slowly through my nose.“That fucking bastard.”The fake robber inside the restaurant was still holding his gun up, trying very hard to look intimidating but failing miserably.Michael was staring at him with sharp focus, one I remembered too well and I both respected and hated it because it meant he was already thinking three steps ahead.I could tell exactly what was going through his mind. He was already making mental scenarios of how he'll take control

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Sting of Jealousy

    Theo's POV(An Hour Earlier)I was already in a bad mood, the kind of that made everyone around me suddenly remember urgent appointments somewhere else.The shipment had arrived late, the paperwork had been wrong, one of the drivers had nearly caused an accident while unloading and because apparently the universe enjoyed testing my patience, I had been forced to stay and supervise everything personally.By the time I finally left the warehouse that served as one of my many "perfectly legitimate" businesses, the sun was already beginning to set.I should have gone home, I should have taken a shower, I should have had dinner. Instead, I found myself driving toward Michael's workplace.I told myself I was simply checking on him, making sure he was safe, making sure nobody from Marlo's people had somehow slipped through the cracks.But it was a complete lie.I wanted to see him. That was all.I wanted to see his face.After everything we had been through recently, I had become far too acc

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Sudden interruption

    Fernando's POVThe fact that Michael had agreed to have dinner with me felt like a victory.The restaurant wasn't anything fancy, just a roadside restaurant with bright lights, worn wooden tables, and the smell of grilled meat filling the evening air.Years ago, I would have never brought Michael somewhere like this. Back then, if I wanted to impress him, I would reserve entire restaurants, buy out private sections, jave chefs flown in.I used money because money was easy. Now I knew money wasn't enough, not with Michael.I parked beside him and got out.Michael was already waiting near the entrance, his hands shoved into his pockets. His expression was suspicious as usual but I couldn't blame him.I had given him plenty of reasons not to trust me. Still, I planned to change that.My guards began moving toward us and I immediately stopped them."Stay here."They exchanged looks."Boss—""I said stay here" I repeated. The guards nodded."Understood."I turned away just as Michael rais

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   An Unexpected Invitation

    Michael’s POVBy the time I finally finished work, I felt like my brain had been dragged behind a moving truck.The entire day had been nonstop and at one point I had genuinely considered hiding inside the evidence room and pretending I had gone missing.Unfortunately, Ramon had found me before I could commit to the plan.Now the sun was beginning to set outside, painting the sky in shades of orange and gold as employees slowly filtered out of the building.I carried my laptop bag over one shoulder while balancing several folders under my arm.The parking lot was gradually emptying and for the first time all day, I felt myself relax, just a little.I was finally heading to the hospital. That alone made everything feel a little lighter.Ramon walked beside me as we headed toward our vehicles."You should go home and sleep" he said."I'll sleep when Ashley and Nick are back home" I said.We reached our cars then Ramon unlocked his and I did same."See you tomorrow," he said."Goodnight,

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Too Many Problems

    Michael's POVFor the first time in what felt like forever, I was going back to work, or at least, what passed for normal in my life.The morning air was cool against my skin as I stepped out of my car and stared at the familiar building in front of me.I stood there for a moment longer than necessary trying to prepare myself.People would ask questions about Ashley and Nick who had almost died.I sighed then walked inside and Immediately, I regretted it."Michael! You're back!" I looked up to one of the dispatch officers who hurried toward me.I forced a smile."Apparently" I said.She laughed."It's good to see you" she said."Good to be seen" I replied. Almost immediately, another coworker appeared then another and within minutes I found myself surrounded."How's Ashley doing?""Did Nick wake up yet?""Are they going to be okay?""Do they need anything?""Can we visit?"I answered the same questions repeatedly, trying not to look exhausted or think about the fact that only a few w

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Friendly Competition

    Theo's POVFor several long seconds, nobody moved. The room had become a battlefield without a single shot being fired.My arm remained steady despite the tension burning through every muscle in my body. The barrel of my gun was aimed directly at Fernando Ramirez's head and his gun was aimed right back at me.Roberto stood slightly to my side, his weapon trained on Fernando's chest, ready to pull the trigger if necessary.Outside my office door, I could hear movement from Fernando's guards and my own men.I hated this, not because I was afraid but because the outcome of this situation would hurt exactly one person.The thought annoyed me more than Fernando's arrogance ever could.Fernando's expression remained cold and unreadable.The man had always been dangerous. Even without knowing him personally, I could tell he was the kind of person who had spent most of his life getting exactly what he wanted.Unfortunately for him, I wasn't one of his employees and I certainly wasn't one of h

  • 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 any

    Michael’s POV Evening had long fallen, cloaking the city in shadows and silence. Inside the waiting room, the silence felt deeper. Henry’s soft breathing filled the air, his small chest rising and falling against mine in gentle rhythm. He was fast asleep, sprawled across my lap, his head tuck

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Motel Compromise

    Fernando’s POV The sky had turned an inky blue when we finally pulled off the road. A blinking neon sign buzzed faintly in the distance, illuminating the weather-worn letters that read: Sunset Pines Motel. Its name sounded better than it looked. The parking lot was half-empty, cracked and litt

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Keep Your Hands Off Henry

    Micheal's POV The air in Saint Aldric’s Hospital parking lot was heavy. Not just with the thick evening mist that rolled in from the coastal cliffs, but with a kind of pressure that settled over my chest like wet cement. I needed a shower. I needed sleep. Hell, I needed peace. I was done with my
