Fernando’s POV

The meeting dragged to its end with the weight of unfinished business still hanging in the air.

I listened to the final words of everyone while my mind was elsewhere.

Rodger, still angry, leaned back in his chair, arms crossed.

“I don’t like sitting on my hands, Fernando. The longer we wait, the bolder they’ll get.”

“They won’t get the chance to be bold again,” I said smoothly, rising from my seat. “Trust me.”

Rodger narrowed his eyes, as if considering whether to push further, but he ultimately stayed silent.

Good.

The last thing I needed was another idiotic suggestion to storm a federal building.

Nikolai shot me a lingering glance before standing as well.

“Keep me informed,” he said simply.

I nodded.

“Always.”

Santiago was the last to move, still wearing that cocky smirk as he adjusted his cufflinks.

“Try not to get too sentimental, Fernando. We can’t afford distractions.”

I merely gave him a sharp look.

“I don’t get distracted.”

He chuckled, shaking his head

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Hiding in the Silence

    Fernando's POV It was one of those rare nights when the silence felt heavier than sound. The kind of quiet that didn't come with peace—only with weight. The walls of Santiago's mansion were thick, designed to trap secrets, and yet tonight they felt like they were closing in on me, trying to trap something else. Maybe regret, maybe truth, or maybe just my ghosts.Michael had left my room in anger, earlier. His footsteps had faded down the hallway, sharp and angry. I had pretended to fall asleep after our argument—a tactical retreat. He was angry about the text. Ashley's text. And though I had given him a charming lie, a clean deflection, something told me he wasn't fooled. That man could read my silences better than anyone ever had.I sat up in bed now, alone. The sheets still smelled like Michael. He didn’t know I noticed, but I always did. Everything about him clung to my senses like it was branded into me. His anger lingered too.I ran my hand through my hair and stood, walk

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Shadows Between Us

    Michael’s POV Sleep had come to Fernando easier than I expected tonight. His eyes were closed shut and the rising and falling of his chest only made it even more obvious of how tired he was.Maybe it was the exhausting meetings or whatever new schemes he was spinning in that mind of his. For me, sleep remained a stranger. Every tick of the old clock mounted on the wall above the dresser seemed to drill deeper into my skull.It had been days—no, weeks—without a single ounce of freedom. I had absolutely no contact with the outside world. Fernando’s iron grip wasn’t just physical anymore; it was mental as well as emotional. I needed to breathe. I needed to know what was happening beyond the walls of Santiago’s massive estate.Most importantly, I needed to talk to Ashley.She had to know what I was going through. I didn’t care if she hated me. I didn’t care if she didn’t believe I was still the same person beneath all this chaos. I just... needed to hear her voice. And that meant

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Under Pressure

    Ashley’s POVThe conference room was thick with tension before the meeting even began. The low hum of whispered conversations, the rustle of papers, and the constant clinking of ceramic mugs against the table filled the air with an ominous sense of urgency. I slid into the leather chair at the far end of the long oval table, positioned between the Deputy Director and an Agent. The weight of their authority pressed in on either side of me.The scent of fresh coffee was strong—too strong. It didn’t feel like comfort.Around me, several agents sat hunched over printed files, their faces filled with fatigue and a grim determination. Maps, mugshots, surveillance photos, and intelligence logs lay scattered across the table like puzzle pieces. Eyes met mine briefly, their expressions hard. But right now, we all had the same enemy.“Let’s get started,” Agent Whitaker announced as he stood, his voice tight and clipped. “There’s been a major development. Fernando Ramirez is rebuilding.”

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Burn With Me

    Michael’s POV It was close to midnight, and the silence inside Santiago’s estate had a certain chill to it—one that clung to the walls and crept under my skin. I sat on the edge of the bed Fernando had forced me to call mine, wrapped in a thick blanket that suddenly felt too heavy, too suffocating. The cold wasn’t coming from the night air. It was coming from within.My thoughts were louder than the ticking of the old clock on the wall. And every thought screamed her name.Ashley.Her face haunted me, not in dreams, but in every waking moment. The sound of her laughter, the softness of her voice when she said my name, the way her eyes searched mine like she could see straight into my soul—it all played on repeat, torturing me. And I couldn’t reach her. I didn’t even know if she was safe.I missed my best friend so much.Did she think I had abandoned her? Or betrayed her?Did she hate me?That was the worst part. Not the confinement, not Fernando’s manipulation, not the suffocati

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Fernando's Proposition

    Ashley’s POVThe night air was warm, wrapping around me like a heavy blanket filled with memories.It was surreal—seeing Tasha, Melody, and Kendra again.We had once been inseparable, ruling the high school hallways as we whispered secrets, borrowed lip gloss, and dreams too big for our small town. Now we were women with careers, lovers, battles won and lost, yet somehow, tonight, the years folded in on themselves. For a few hours, we weren’t FBI agents, lawyers, nurses—we were just girls again, giddy with wine and memories."Remember how Mr. Callahan caught you sneaking into the teacher's lounge, Ash?" Melody giggled, nearly tripping over a crack in the pavement, her curls bouncing like they always had.I laughed, a real laugh that cracked the ice building in my chest. "I was looking for evidence of exam leaks! You all thought I was insane.""That’s because you were insane,” Tasha chimed in, nudging me playfully. “You ran mock interrogations in your basement, remember?""And poor

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Encounter in the Kitchen

    Michael’s POV The morning sunlight had spilled too brightly across the bed by the time I blinked my eyes fully open. I groaned as I felt the warmth of the sun rays pouring on my face but I made little to no effort to shield myself from it.The silence in the room was warm and comforting, but the space beside me was cold. Fernando was gone. I could still smell his cologne on the pillow, still feel the ghost of his kiss on my forehead from earlier. I remembered that much even in my half-asleep state—the soft touch of his lips, the tenderness in it. It had felt real.But I didn’t know if it was genuine or just his sick way of reminding me I only belonged to him.I sat up and rubbed my eyes, the silk sheet falling from my chest. The room was quiet, almost too quiet for a house that usually echoed with orders being barked, doors opening and footsteps of guards and staff. This quiet felt... peaceful.It almost didn't feel like it belonged to a Mafia Don.Fernando had left to take ba
