Fernando’s POV

Morning light streamed through the tall windows of my bedroom, falling across the white marble floors like bars of a cage.

I stood at the edge of my bed, staring at the crumpled sheets I hadn’t been able to sleep in. My fists ached from how tightly I had been clenching them through the night.

I pulled my shirt over my head, my movements sharp and angry.

The mirror caught my reflection: dark hair disheveled, eyes bloodshot, jaw clenched so tight I could feel a headache bloomin

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Back On Top

    Fernando's POVThe road seemed endless. I sat in the back of the black car with my hands restrained in front of me, listening to the low hum of the engine as we drove farther away from the city.Every few seconds, the tires rolled over uneven pavement, making the vehicle rock gently from side to side.I kept my face expressionless. I refused to give Marlo the satisfaction of seeing fear.Across from me, he sat comfortably, one arm resting against the door as though this were nothing more than an ordinary afternoon drive.Anabelle sat beside him.Two armed men occupied the seats beside me, their weapons visible beneath their jackets.Another vehicle followed behind us.I looked at him."Where exactly are you taking me?" I asked.Marlo smiled."You'll find out soon enough" he replied. I frowned. "That's not an answer.""It's the only one you're getting" he said.I leaned back against the seat."You know, Marlo, I never imagined you'd be the one sitting beside me while taking me to my

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Under Fire

    Ashley’s POVSomething was wrong. I had been trying to ignore the feeling for the last several minutes, but it had become impossible.Michael should have been back by now. He had said he was going to Theo's house to check on what happened Henry and talk to Theo, but too much time had passed.Far too much.I stood near the living-room window, staring through the curtains toward Theo's house."He's taking too long," I muttered.Nick, who was sitting on the couch, looked up from his phone then slipped it into his pocket."Maybe Theo has a lot to explain" he said."That's exactly what worries me" I replied. Henry was sitting in the armchair nearby, his attention fixed on the television even though I could tell he wasn't watching it.Nick stood."Should we go over there?" He asked."That's what I'm thinking" I replied. Henry immediately shook his head."No."I frowned."I'm not going" he added."Henry—""I don't want to go back there" he said.His voice was sharper than usual and I excha

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Tied Hands

    Michael's POVThe ropes were cutting into my wrists.I had lost count of how many times I had shifted against them, trying to find even the slightest bit of slack, but whoever had tied me had known exactly what they were doing.My hands were secured behind me, my back pressed against a thick concrete pillar in the basement.A few feet away, Carlos was tied to another one and the sight of him somehow made my frustration worse."This is ridiculous," I muttered.Carlos lifted his head."You're only realizing that now?"I exhaled sharply and looked around.The basement was dim, illuminated by a single overhead bulb that flickered every few seconds. Somewhere above us, I could hear muffled footsteps.I stopped then I looked at my hands as a terrible thought entered my mind.If I dislocated my thumb, maybe I could pull my hand through.I stared at it for several seconds and Carlos noticed."You think breaking your thumb is going to magically solve everything?" He asked."I don't care." I pu

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   A Promise With Loopholes

    Fernando's POVI watched Mortis disappear.Two of Marlo's men had dragged him toward the second vehicle while another pair followed closely behind, weapons visible beneath their jackets.One of the guards shoved him into the vehicle and the door slammed shut.I watched the car pull away.My jaw tightened."Where are they taking him?"Marlo stood beside me, watching the same vehicle disappear down the road."Somewhere quiet" he replied. "That's not an answer.""It's the only one you're getting" he said.I ignored the words then my thoughts returned to Michael, Henry and the others.I needed certainty."You promise you wouldn't touch Michael, Henry, Ashley and Nick."He gave me a knowing look."I will not personally touch Michael, nor Henry" he said.My shoulders relaxed slightly."And Ashley and Nick?"Marlo shrugged."I have no interest in them" he replied. I frowned. "That's not what I asked."He sighed."I won't personally hurt them either" he said.I searched his face."You swea

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   New Plans

    Michael's POVFor several seconds, I could only stare at Theo. I couldn't make sense of what he had just said.The words kept replaying inside my head."What does that mean?" I asked.Theo didn't answer then he turned away from me."Theo, I'm asking you a question."I pulled against Roberto's grip, frustration boiling inside me."What have you done?" I asked.Theo walked toward the other side of the basement, where Roberto had left a small table covered with phones, documents, and several sets of keys.My stomach tightened. He wasn't ignoring me because he didn't have an answer, he was ignoring me because he didn't want to give me one."Theo!"He finally stopped then his shoulders rose and fell with a heavy breath. Finally, he turned around."I've made a decision" he said."You don't get to make decisions for me" I shot at him.His eyes hardened."I do when you're incapable of protecting yourself" he replied. I stared at him."I'm not incapable of protecting myself" I argued. "You s

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   A Choice Between Evils

    Fernando's POVBeside me, Mortis stood as rigid as stone. Although his expression remained composed, I noticed the subtle movement of his eyes as he surveyed every vehicle, every gunman, every possible escape route.I leaned the slightest bit toward Mortis without taking my eyes off Marlo. Barely moving my lips, I whispered."How many do you think we can take?"Mortis answered just as quietly."If we're lucky?""I hate relying on luck" I said.Marlo watched us with obvious amusement and he folded his hands behind his back."You two always did enjoy whispering."Neither of us answered then Mortis lowered his voice further."When I move, you run" he said."You've lost your mind" I replied. "I'm serious" he said.Marlo clapped slowly."Touching. Absolutely touching."His smile widened. He began pacing slowly before us like a teacher addressing a classroom."Two loyal men, one broken empire and neither of you willing to abandon the other" he said then stopped walking. "But loyalty has al

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Red Hot Anger

    Fernando’s POV The silence in my room was suffocating. Not the usual calm kind of silence, the kind that gave me control over my thoughts, but the type that crawled under your skin and demanded you break something. I had been pacing for most of the last hour, my hands locked behind my back, my ja

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Boy with the Gun

    Michael’s POV The room was quiet, but my head wasn’t. It hadn’t been since this afternoon. My eyes kept drifting to the corner, where Henry’s toy train lay overturned beside a half-finished puzzle and memories kept rushing in. I had stepped on one of its little wheels earlier, and instead of pick

    Michael’s POV I sat by the balcony, a book open in my hands, though I hadn’t turned a page in over twenty minutes. My eyes traced the same sentence again and again without absorbing a single word. My mind was somewhere else, trapped in a loop of thoughts that refused to let me rest.Henry wasn’t
