AUDREY'S POV

Dante'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   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   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

  • FOREVER BOUND TO THE MAFIA DONN   White Rose & Threats

    AUDREY’S POVThe second I stepped into the house, the silence engulfed me. It was deafening. “Silence that gave me peace, now scares the shit out of me.” I mumbled, signing. Dreading the night alone.Quickly, I shut the door behind me,double-locking it, just as Dante said. Then slid the chain across, making sure the whole thing was in place. I slightly opened the curtain to the side window, and Matteo's car was parked outside. He didn’t wave, but I saw the low light of his cigarette. Breathing a sigh of relief, I leaned my head against the door. "I didn’t ask for this," I whispered into the empty house.It didn’t matter anymore. I was in it. Deep.Dragging myself to the kitchen, I poured a glass of water, my hands trembling. My scrubs reeking of antiseptic and blood. I should have showered at the hospital. But after that… crazy encounter? I couldn’t stay there a second longer.I shook my head, trying to get the whole drama out of my head.When I confronted her, the way her eyes li

  • FOREVER BOUND TO THE MAFIA DONN    Unnerving Situation

    DANTE’S POV"The Fuck you mean she's in trouble?" My voice boomed. I felt it break a little but I stayed in control."Where the fuck is she?""Hospital. East wing. She went into the restricted area. Five minutes later, she walked out looking pale, like she'd seen a ghost.""Anyone stalking her?"“Capo negativo.” But someone used her ID minutes before that. Hooded. Female. Couldn’t get a clear face, but she printed something. Confidential files.""Dante," Matteo paused, breathing heavier. "I checked. It was your file. Blood work. Room assignment, death confirmation."I nearly smashed the phone in my hand."Get me the footage. Now. Forward to Vincente’s email."I looked at Vincente, fresh, raw rage took over. "Drive. Fast."___________________By the time we pulled into the alleyway behind the meat market, Vince got the message.“Here boss.” He said, giving me his tablet.I tapped play. The video froze a bit, glitching once. Then it showed a hooded person. Definitely a woman. Wearing

  • FOREVER BOUND TO THE MAFIA DONN   Rage & everything in between

    Dante’s POVThe club was located deep in the rickety part of old Catania. The alleys had graffitis made by hormonal teenagers. Shadows lurking around for drug lords and thieves. The kind of place Alessio would definitely hide. No cameras. No receipts.Just bad pulse, smoke, and secrets.Vincente parked two blocks down. I didn’t argue. I needed to stay off radar. Taking off my blazer, I tossed it in the back seat of the SUV, rolling my sleeves up. My knuckles were still pink from the punches I delivered. Flexing my fingers to release tension from my tendons, I welcomed the sting. I wanted more of it.Pain kept the hungry rage in check.And tonight, I was starving.“You’ll confront Alessio, I'll be listening in your conversation from the dark corners, masked up. I can't have anyone recognize me.” Inside, the noise was loud . Bodies swayed in the dimly lit room—faces half-lit by the flicker of colorful lights, none of them aware they were dancing in a lion’s den.“Eyes up,” I mut
