Dante's Pov

My fingers wrapped tightly around the empty glass, applying pressure. — crack!

I watched it in pieces, cutting my palm.

My blood boiled. Carson Lane. That name kept hammering into my thoughts.

I watched my blood drip down the bar table. “Mi sto rammollendo.” I muttered. “Dante Rossi never gets Emotivo.”

I walked to the mirror across the room. My reflection stared back—jaw clenched, eyes rimmed red, collarbone twitching from the tension.

There were men out there who wanted me dead. Hell, I probably deserved it. But that wasn’t the point. The point was—Audrey had walked straight into the fire without knowing it.

My fucking responsibly now.

Yes, I'm ruthless but I had rules.

I hate killing innocents.

I hate human trafficking.

Making my way down the hall, past the quiet living room, and down to the cellar door. The fingerprint access beeped, green light blinking. I stepped into the cold hallway, descending toward the war room.

The lights came on automatically. The scree

  • FOREVER BOUND TO THE MAFIA DONN    TITLYWINK

    AUDREY'S POVI was fast becoming accustomed to a lifestyle filled with gunshots and looking behind my back. “What the fuck is going on now?” Dante yelled as he stormed out the room. His eyes, scanning my entire body for a scratch.“Go into the room, lock the doors. Do not open it until I knock saying ‘Titlywink’.”“Wh..why….?”He didn't let me finish. “Not now, Audrey. Just do as I say and trust me.” He moved past me. “Go now!” Staying locked up inside the room gave me anxiety and it shot through the roof in an instant.Pacing back and forth, I could hear the screams and grunts. My hands itched to open the doors and take a look. “Did I really have the strength to face Dante if anything happens when I open the door? What if this is an opportunity find out what he has been hiding from me?”The memory of the last attack on me gripped me. Making me sit back down on the edge of the bed. The man had me on a chokehold and I couldn't do anything, to crown it all, Matteo was kidnapped. “N

  • FOREVER BOUND TO THE MAFIA DONN    A bit of peace?

    Audrey's POVSun penetrated through the curtains. It hit differently.—warm and golden, casting its shadow on the tangled sheets. Barely awake, my body aching in ways that left no room for confusion. Feeling so content knowing Dante's arm was wrapped around my waist, heavy and protective, his breath minty breath fanning the back of my neck slowly, and it tickled. A sigh of relief escaped my lips.In the moment, everything felt safe. Almost peaceful.Then I remembered the way he'd taken me last night. Not just taken.Consumed. Owned. Worshipped.Destroyed all at once.He shifted behind me and pressed a soft kiss between my shoulder blades."You awake, piccolo fuoco?"I smiled into the pillow. My voice hoarse, "Barely." He nuzzled my hair, his voice softer now."You're sore." It wasn’t a question.Rolling onto my back, groaning a little as I stretched. "That's putting it mildly."He smirked, his eyes softened, one hand caressing my side with a gentleness I had never seen before.

  • FOREVER BOUND TO THE MAFIA DONN   Duvet Dancing

    Audrey's povTessa’s unnecessary need to be in the same space as me irritated me. Thankfully, other nurses were close by making me feel safe. My hand kept going into my pocket to feel the pepper spray Dante gave me, even though Matteo had been replaced by one of Dante's other shadows—men I never saw, only sensed their presence.After the last call with Dante, he'd said he found Matteo. It was nearing midnight when I finally got to the house. I still didn't feel safe but I knew there were more than one guard watching this time.Preparing a cup of coffee to calm down after the draining day, I heard the knock.Not the doorbell. Just three deliberate, low taps. Firm.The house was quiet. Too quiet.I slowly walked toward the door, holding my breath. “Who is it?” I asked, voice low. Knife in hand.“It’s me,” came that familiar voice.Low. Strong, and wielding.Dante.I realised my breath. Immediately, I unlocked the door He stood there in all black, shirt half unbuttoned, hair messy,

  • FOREVER BOUND TO THE MAFIA DONN   The Reason

    DANTE’S POVThey took Matteo.Not killed. Not wounded. They took him. Which means, they wanted one thing.For me to find him myself. They wanted to bait the wolf out of his den. I knew it was a trap. But I love games.Audrey's voice still rang in my head from the call."She threatened me." She whispered over the phone. Her voice, shaking. It gutted me. My jaw tightened, gritting my teeth. I could still feel her bruised skin under my fingers, the tremble in her limbs when I held her after the attack. Her scent, her heat, the taste of her name on my lips. And now this?They touched what belongs to me.And Matteo, he'd saved her life.I gripped the starring wheel of the black Alfa Romeo as I drove off the main road, my tires screeching against Sicilian gravel. Sighting the coordinates of the warehouse Gulia dropped. Hidden just outside Catania. The scent of rust and rot filled the air as I stepped out of the car. Disguised.Walking down the house, an old Sicilian winery. If cour

  • FOREVER BOUND TO THE MAFIA DONN    Too Cold To Be Bold

    AUDREY'S POVDante's silence was heavy. He stared at the message on his phone. His jaw clenched so hard that I thought his teeth would break. I shifted under the sheets, suddenly aware that we were both still naked, our bodies tangled from everything we’d just done. Pushing aside the flurry of uneasy feelings from my chest, “What happened?" I asked again, sitting up, pulling the sheets over my chest. I watched his fingers move around his phone. Two taps. Then he locked the phone and dropped it onto the nightstand."Matteo's gone."My blood went cold."Gone?" My voice broke. "What do you mean gone?""Disappeared. No calls. No check-ins. The last visual was outside the house. Ten minutes after the attack. And then... nothing."I felt the air leave my lungs. “My God.”“But….”“Did you manage to see the attackers face?” Dante asked, cutting me off.“He had a scar on his left eye. He was masked.” Matteo had saved me. Dragged that monster off me. He escorted me to the bathroom, so I coul

  • FOREVER BOUND TO THE MAFIA DONN   Fricking Realization...

    AUDREY'S POVMy entire body kept trembling as I sat in the shower. Pulling my knees to my chest, the bath water ran down on me. — Steaming. It still didn’t help. Couldn’t get the attack off my memory.Matteo had dragged the attacker away, unconscious. But I couldn’t get his masked face off my mind, the brutal boom of his voice. The feel of his gloved hand choking me against that wall. The sinister look in his face That fucking scar. That smirk. I heaved again at the thought. The bile burned my throat as it rose, but there was nothing left to throw up. Just sobs and whispers left my mouth. Hugging myself , I held my ribs. He’d slammed me so hard I knew I’d have bruises. My shoulder ached from the hit, and the cut on my hand had reopened.Matteo hadn’t said a word as he escorted me off to the bathroom and told me to lock the door. Knowing he went back outside to deal with the body—maybe torture, maybe kill him, maybe both.I didn’t dare ask. Couldn’t care.But I couldn’t stop thin
