Fernando’s POV

Michael’s body was still pinned beneath mine, his breath uneven, his chest rising and falling repeatedly mostly because of the absenceof space between us.

My hands pressed against the wall on either side of him, caging him in and not giving him a chance to escape.

His words repeated constantly in my head, making it impossible for me to do any other thing than to just stare into his eyes.

Normally, I would ne very happy knowing I was bringing fear to people around me but there w

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Wrong Guard

    Michael's POVI opened the door and stepped into the hallway. A few minutes later, I exited the hospital through the main entrance.The evening air was cool, the parking lot was illuminated by rows of streetlights, cars came and went and doctors and nurses moved between shifts.Everything looked normal.My eyes immediately found the familiar car and beside it stood the guard.It was the same tall, broad-shouldered, expressionless man who had been following me around for days.The moment he saw me approaching, he straightened slightly but I stopped a few feet away."You're leaving" I said coldly. The guard blinked then calmly replied."I'm sorry, but I can't" he replied. I stared."I'm sorry?""I said no" he said firmly. My eye twitched. This conversation was already going badly.I folded my arms."Fernando didn't tell you to stop following me?" I asked."No.""Then I'm telling you.""I still cannot do that" he said.I stared and the guard stared back. For a moment neither of us mov

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   I Can't Lose You Too

    Michael's POVFor a long moment after Fernando left the hospital, I simply stood there in the hallway. My mind was exhausted and everything felt complicated.I felt like I was carrying the weight of ten different lives on my shoulders. Eventually, I let out a slow breath and started walking back toward Theo's room.I needed to stop thinking about Fernando, at least for a little while.Every time I thought I understood what I wanted, Fernando would appear and ruin everything again. The man had somehow mastered the art of causing emotional damage simply by existing.I pushed the door open quietly to see Theo awake. The soft light from the hospital lamp illuminated part of his face.He looked exhausted, his skin was pale, bandages were visible beneath the hospital blanket and the bruises and cuts across his body made my stomach tighten.Seeing him like this reminded me how close I had come to losing him. The thought alone terrified me.Theo looked up and smiled when he saw me."There you

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Wrong Time

    Fernando's POVThe entire drive back to my hotel was torture. Carlos would not stop talking.I sat in the back seat of my car, staring out the window as the city lights flashed past.My mood had never been worse. Every few seconds, I found myself replaying the look on Henry's face.Across from me, Carlos was talking as if we had just come back from a vacation."Honestly, I think the kid likes me" he said.I slowly turned my head toward him and Carlos smiled."I'm serious" he said.I stared and he kept smiling, until my stare became colder then his smile slowly disappeared.Everything had been progressing slowly but progressing. Michael had started listening to me, he had begun considering New York and he had admitted he wanted our family together.Those moments mattered, every single one of them. Then Carlos arrived and suddenly everything became complicated again.I closed my eyes.Wonderful, just wonderful.By the time we arrived at the hotel, my patience was completely gone. The ve

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Feelings I Didn't Want

    Michael's POVI didn't want to think about Carlos. Unfortunately, he had made that impossible.The hospital hallway felt quieter after Fernando and Carlos moved away, but somehow the silence only made my thoughts louder.I sat down heavily in one of the waiting room chairs and rubbed my face.I let out a long sigh.Across from me, Kim was sitting with her legs tucked beneath her on the chair. She had been staring through the glass window toward her father's room for several minutes.Every now and then she would glance toward the door as if expecting someone to come out and tell her Theo was completely healed.I felt sorry for her.No matter how mature Kim acted sometimes, she was still a daughter worried about her father.Then I realized she was looking at me, not Theo's room."What?" I asked.Kim tilted her head."You look stressed" she replied. I laughed weakly. After several moments I finally sighed."It's Carlos" I replied. Kim blinked."The guy with Fernando? What about him?" S

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

    Fernando’s POVThe hospital lights reflected off Carlo's expensive sunglasses which were currently perched on top of his head.The bastard looked like he'd stepped off a magazine cover. Meanwhile, I looked like a man whose life had been turned upside down and somehow Carlos still smiled like this was a pleasant surprise.It wasn't.I immediately looked toward Michael and the expression on his face told me everything.He was angry.I hated when Michael was like that, especially when the subject was me.Carlos smiled brightly."Fernando" he greeted. Before I could react, he wrapped his arms around me and I nearly groaned.Carlos hugged me tightly, like we had been separated for years, which honestly wasn't far from the truth.I awkwardly patted his shoulder.The entire situation was a disaster. When Carlos finally stepped back, I immediately noticed Henry staring.The look on my son's face made my stomach sink."Dad?" Henry asked.I already hated this conversation then Henry pointed at

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Man From New York

    Michael's POV(Several minutes earlier...)I should have walked away, looking back on it now, that was probably the smartest thing I could have done.I was worried about Theo, concerned about Henry, exhausted from Fernando and now some ridiculously overdressed stranger had appeared out of nowhere claiming to know my husband.Technically, still my husband. The distinction mattered, at least legally.The stranger folded his arms and stared at me and I stared right back.The man looked like he belonged on a fashion runway rather than inside a hospital..His jacket was probably worth more than most people's car.His jewelry practically sparkled under the hospital lights and een his shoes looked expensive.Everything about him screamed money and a lot of attitude."You really don't know who I am?" he asked dramatically."No."His hand immediately flew to his chest. The gesture was so exaggerated that I almost laughed."That is genuinely offensive" he said.I raised an eyebrow. "I'm sorry?"

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Moving Day

    Michael’s POV The morning light spilled faintly through the curtains and I sat cross-legged on the bed, staring at the open suitcase in front of me. My clothes were folded neatly inside, yet the weight of each shirt and pair of jeans pressed heavier on my chest than stone. Today was the day I

    Michael’s POV I had lost count of how long I had been pacing the cold hospital corridor. Every time a door creaked open, every time a nurse walked by with a clipboard or cart, my heart shot up into my throat, thinking maybe it’s about her, maybe it’s news about Ashley. But it never was. Ashley

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   A Cage of Promises

    Ashley’s POV I hated the silence after Fernando left the room. It wasn’t the comforting kind of silence you craved after a long day—it was the kind that lingered, heavy and suffocating, like the walls were listening, like the shadows leaned in closer. For hours, since this whole charade of “shop

    Michael’s POV The air shifted the moment the heavy double doors closed behind us. In the smaller sitting room Ashley had dragged me into, silence pressed against my ears, broken only by the sound of her shallow, angry breaths. She turned to face me, her eyes flashing like a blade in the dim light
