Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation A Throne Denied
SIMEON I had angrily walked out, to think about all that had happened and how to take over the gang after my father's death. I had been called back to the meeting hall.My father’s cold eyes were still burned into my memory, the slap still felt scratchy and painful on my face, the embarrassment I had suffered in front of the entire family hanging heavy on my shoulders.It wasn’t just that he looked at me like I was an orphaned rabbit. It was the look in his eyes when he did it. The disgust. The disappointment. Like I was nothing more than an embarrassment to him. I knew I was far from his perfect son, but damn it, I had worked hard for this moment. I’d given up everything, put in times of trust, learned every dark corner of this life just to prove to him I could handle it. But that wasn’t enough, was it? No, not for Abraham Moretti.He was a freaking perfectionist and wanted everything to be done following his freaking orders and hated suggestions from others, most especially me.

SIMEON I could feel the weight of my father’s eyes as he listed off every mistake I had made. He was even smiling as he did so. I didn't know why but maybe because he got satisfaction from seeing me on my toes.One by one, his words sliced through the air, cutting me down until I was nothing further than a pile of failure in front of him." Federico's escape," he began, his voice low, cold. "That was your fault. You couldn't even keep an eye on him. And Don Julio? You suppose that injury was enough to prove yourself? Please." He waved his hand like he was fed up with my mere existence already. Everyone knew that Federico's escape wasn't my fault, I had given a suggestion which he had dismissed and the bastard had absconded.I stood there, still as gravestone, refusing to show him how harsh and cold those words hurt. He could say whatever he wanted. But, soon I would prove myself to him.Giuseppe was sitting in the corner, watching, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth. I hated

SIMEON I couldn't breathe.I couldn't think that I had done it. Ended his life like it was that of a puppy.Damn. Some men had come in and dragged the bloodied body of Marco out and I couldn't watch. I turned to go, hoping he wouldn't nsg until I heard his voice again and I froze.“ Gabriela is off the table. The marriage plans with The Crows are no longer an option. It's now abolished.” Abraham said, his voice calm, measured. But his words. they were a slap to the face. “ It’s a misplaced cause. You’re not ready for that kind of responsibility. And I have come to.the conclusion that you are madly in love to concentrate.”His eyes were cold as he spoke, his eyes fluttering over to me like I was an abomination, like I didn't even count to be in the gang, like I was a castaway.For a moment, I stood there, glued to a spot. Rage surged through me and I felt this was really unnecessary. I gripped my fists so hard my knuckles turned so white, but I didn't say a word. His opinion of me wa

SARIAN I felt it again — that unnoticeable prick on my skin, like it was very cold that morning but obviously it wasn't because I knew I wasn't alone.I had that feeling like eyes crawling over me.Watching. Waiting to strike and I didn't know what it was. My hand hung mid air as I reached for my coffee, and I glanced toward the hallway. Nothing. Just the soft, the family silence of the villa that I had grown used to.But I knew what I felt.Someone was here. I could feel it Or had been.“ Don Julio? ” I called out, forcing my voice to sound steady but it was shaky and laced with fear.His voice came from the room opposite, low and tensed, maybe he had also noticed it too.. “ Stay where you are. I’ll be there in a nanosecond. ” he said and I forced myself to take a sip of coffee that now felt like acid on my tongue.But I didn’t hear. I was stubborn , I was supposed to do as he said and stayed in the room and finished up my breakfast.My feet moved on their own as I crept toward the ha

DON JULIO The wind in Sicily was warm, filled with the scent of citrus blooms.We had just arrived minutes ago and as I turned to look at Sarian, her eyes looked empty and she felt like she was lost in the crowd , like she had no place in the world. Maybe she was scared that we might get attacked again.The pilot gave me a nod as we stepped off the jet. “ safe-deposit box wharf. ”I returned it with a small cock of my head. “Grazie. ”But Sarian’s emotions were as unsteady as the weather's. Her eyes danced as they landed on me. I knew the look before she said a word. She folded her arms, her lips curving into a small smile. “ You don’t look like yourself today.”I raised a brow but said nothing.She glanced over my plain black shirt, sleeves rolled to my forearms, my tats flashing in the early morning sun and simple trousers. No tie. No cufflinks. No intimidating suits draped over my shoulders. They looked simple but if only she knew how much they cost.“ You look like someone who

DON JULIO Matteo arrived the next morning, in his usual stoic tone. He didn’t need to tell me of his presence. I saw him on the security footage before the door even opened. Always effective. Always quiet. He was one of the few in my gang that I could manage to trust if the word trust existed to me in the first place.He hadn't come with us because of personal reasons and things I had to do.Matteo was a professional; he never let his guard down, and he understood the assignment very well that when he came, he didn't let anyone follow him into the suite.I glanced over to where Sarian lay, a soft breath escaping her lips as she slept. My heart tensed with a strange emotion I didn’t want to show, let her enjoy a moment of peace for once. She was still recovering from everything, her body weak, her mind disoriented. But her spirit that was a different matter. And it was something I couldn’t help but respect. She was resilient and I loved women like that.I stood up immediately, makin

SARIAN I could feel the pressure in the air the moment Valentina walked into the hotel room. I had woken up to find myself all alone and breakfast set and then a janitor in the hallway. I came out and there he was still moping out non existent dirt and I immediately knew who he was.Don Julio was back with her and Matteo and he had introduced us before, but I couldn't help but wonder what kind of woman she was. She was different — older than me and very friendly, but there was something about her that made me think she’d seen a lot, perhaps too much and had really suffered too. It wasn’t just her calmness, there was this confidence in her that made you believe she could handle anything. Over dinner, the atmosphere was reserved Don Julio was calm one minute and then, his usual sharp, calculating presence absent the next . It was as if he'd something on his mind that he wasn’t really focused on. Valentina, still sounded comfortable in her own skin, laughing loudly at times, m

DON JULIO The smell of blood was thick in the air briskly, metallic, suffocating. The last echo of gunfire had faded, but the chaos still fire my thoughts. It was freaking unexpected. I had had enough already and I swore to myself as I watched Valentina go down that when I find whoever is doing this, I would erase the names of his whole family from the earth. “ Valentina’s down! ” someone cried. My heart sank. I turned around immediately. Valentina was lying lifeless on the ground and Sarian was beside her, shaking her and begging her to wake up. Her dress and hands covered in Valentina's blood. Shit. This wasn't supposed to happen. My instincts had told me to tell Valentina to stay back at the hotel. Everything inside me snapped. My men redressed with fury. Shots erupted again, lighting up the night. Tires screamed. The masked men tried to escape, but they weren’t fast enough. We shot almost everyone of them down, no mercy. One tried to run into the alley — I refocused on hi

Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation A Little Different
DON JULIO As soon as I entered the hospital the antiseptic stench pricked my nostrils. Chill. Sanitized. Dead. As if they were making an excessive effort to remove the blood that frequently discolored them the walls were too white and spotless. I was in a hurry to get Sarian out of Sicily, I knew that whoever was tracking us would know instantly when the chip got burned that something was wrong and they might be making a surprise attack at us but I had to be ten steps ahead of them.I don't know which of the gangs.The Blood Vultures?The Vipers?The Crows?Or even some freaking gang that didn't want to mind their damn business but revenge would be a topic for another day. I was a hospital hater. The doctor was waiting for me in the elevator wringing his hands as if he wanted to express regret for his birth. He looked like he had been patiently waiting for something that he dreaded so much. His voice was nervous as he spoke to me and then he ran his hands through his face.“She’s aw
Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation Burn Everything
DON JULIO I turned around and left before I could think of destroying something in the hospital, before anyone would come asking silly questions.Behind me, the hospital's lights dimmed, vanishing like they never existed to me in the first place.I kept my eyes forward. Every part of me felt like I was seeing things as I was blinded by anger but I moved deliberately and calmly and kept my face expressionless. The doctor had told me that the police would soon be here and I had felt it as soon as I stepped out of the double glass doors. However I had always trusted my instincts and something wasn't quite right. Two blocks away I slid into the parked car, dark windows, plate that cannot be traced. I learned from Matteo to always have one escape route close by. I was grateful that I paid attention tonight. My mind was on the nurse that had brushed past me when I walked into the hospital when sirens sounded as soon as my fingers touched the ignition, rising and falling, destroying the
Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation Another Puzzle
DON JULIO What the fuck! I had gone back to my room. I wanted the information she had told me to be for my ears only but as I returned the phone to the table, my head pounded and her last words kept echoing in the back of my mind I tried telling myself several times that maybe Valentina was mistaken, that something wasn't right but a part of me, a bigger part had felt this was freaking true but I didn't want to believe it. The white T-shirt wasn't giving me what I wanted, the aura and vibe that I wanted to possess. I quickly dressed in a dark suit, not bothering to care about the details. It was a typical outfit, sharp but practical, ready for whatever I had to face. The urgency in my chest wouldn’t let me think about my clothing. There wasn’t time for perfection, She didn't say anything further. The line went dead and I shut my eyes momentarily wondering if I was now a detective in a case I fucking knew nothing about. What the hell did Valentina just tell me? Did she know

Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation Another Hard Truth
DON JULIO The sun slightly rose before I gave up trying to sleep. I sat on the chair overlooking the window, a cigar dangling between my fingers and a glass of whiskey before me which stood there for as long as I could remember because I was sure I might not drink it.Last night kept replaying in my mind like a broken movie. Ghost cracked the code and helped with the chip and I still couldn't believe that Federico had done that. The mothefucker was quite smart but why planted that chip?Now the chip felt like it counted a thousand pounds, even though it slightly filled my palmI should have felt some sense of victory. The surgery on Sarian was successful and I finally confirmed my fears but I knew that keeping the chip with me was still dangerous.I stood up, moving restless, every bone in my body stiff with stress. I seized my jacket, sliding the chip deep into the inner pocket where it pressed against my heart.perhaps Valentina would know something.perhaps she could help me make
Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation The Private Eye Chip
DON JULIO The ride back to my residence felt endless, my hand gripping the steering wheel so hard.I glanced at my wrist watch and it was twelve midnight. I could still picture the shock on the doctor's face when I asked him if he knew what the chip was. I was testing him, hoping he might say something but of course he didn't. I didn't waste another second there and left the hospital immediately.I knew there was something linking us to The Blood Vultures and the others but I didn't really know what it was. And the chip.It could be it.As soon as I swung into the long driveway, I killed the engines and stepped out, pocketing the small chip like it was something precious. Of course it was.Inside, the residence was quiet and the only thing I heard was the chirping of crickets.The strippers from earlier were gone, the air smelled of cheap incense and whiskey.I threw the keys to one of my men, exhaled a little and rolled up my sleeves as I took the stairs two.st a time to my room.

Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation I Found This
DON JULIO The night was loud.Music blasted from the speakers, drowning out the sound of my thoughts, the heavy bass rattling the glass walls of the room.Matteo and the rest had left and I was sure they were doing justice to what I had told them because the mere thought of been attacked again made me boil with anger.I leaned back on the velvet settee, cigar smoke entwining around me, a half-empty glass of whiskey hanging loosely between my fingers but I wasn't concentrating on them.The strippers moved around the room, laughing too loudly, brushing their hands against my shoulders, my chest and dancing to impress me and one or two of them had whispered something into my ears, she was horny and ready for sex but I never used sex as therapy.I hardly noticed them.On the face, I looked relaxed, untouched as if a war wasn't brewing inside of me.I took a long pull from my cigar, the burn harsh down my throat.I glanced down at my watch and exhaled, the surgery wssd supposed to be over
Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation A Rat In The Safehouse? Nah
DON JULIO I left the hospital as soon as the theater doors were shut and secretly positioned two of my men at strategic places outside of if the hospital.The night air felt heavy, pressing against my skin like a second skin of sweat and anger.I leaned back in the chair, watching the smoke from the cigar in between my fingers curled up to the ceiling, the room was poorly lit as my eyes surveyed the men gathered before me.Matteo stood closest, his face sharp with something serious The others — Vince, Luca, and Pietro — shifted uneasily, stealing glances at one another like schoolboys waiting to be penalized.If only they knew how I was feeling, they would have excused themselves but I had called them here because I was fed up with some sick bastards leaking my information and location.I said nothing at first. They knew the reason I had called them, they had taken out some investigations but it had been a dead end and maybe they thought I was going to have them punished.The fact
Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation The Surgery
DON JULIO The sun hadn’t even risen yet when I woke up, tangled in Don Julio’s arms.His hand rested on my midriff, his fingers coiled slightly as if even in sleep, he refused to let me go. For the first time ever, I experienced what it felt to be loved, to be someone's everything. To have someone that didn't want to let go of you no matter what. I didn't want to think that I was falling for a mafia lord, I wanted to enjoy the moment….. while it still lasted.For a few precious seconds, I didn’t move.I just listened to the steady beat of his heart against my back and breathed in his dangerous, manly scent.Warmth. Safety. I had Something else I had almost forgotten how to feel.And then he shifted.His lips brushed along my bare shoulder, lazy and soft. I shut my eyes momentarily, savoring every bit of it, wanting it to continue. Till infinity. His lips found mine gently, slowly and I wanted it to continue.There was no rush, no despair, just something deeper and hot, deep kisse
