Rafael held up a gloved hand, gesturing for his man to stand down. A dry, gravelly chuckle escaped the old man’s throat.

"Calm down," Rafael murmured, stepping deeper into the lobby. "No need for bloodshed in your own home, son. I only came to talk."

Sebastian didn't offer him a seat. He walked over to the black leather sofa, sat down, and leaned back like a king holding court, resting his arm over the back of the couch, his long legs spread casually.

"Then talk," Sebastian said. "You didn't dr

    The next morning, the sky over the peaks was black with storm clouds, thunder rumbling low across the valley.Viola woke up to the sound of heavy footsteps outside the master suite.When she sat up on the bed, she froze.Standing near the double doors were two large leather suitcases, fully packed and zipped shut. Her own canvas duffel bag was sitting on top of them.Before her mind could piece it together, the doors pushed open.Sebastian walked in. He had traded his casual clothes for an immaculate, charcoal three-piece suit, an overcoat draped over his arm, looking every inch the ruthless cartel kingpin. His face was entirely composed, the raw cracks from the night before wiped completely clean.He stopped at the foot of the bed, his amber eyes settling on her."Get dressed," he said, his voice flat, steady, and leaving no room for argument. "We leave in twenty minutes."Viola looked at the bags, then up at h

    Sebastian’s fingers tightened against her jaw, his thumb pressing into her cheekbone as his gaze searched her face for a single crack, a single sign of the sweet, innocent girl who had begged for his touch in this very house.There was nothing. Just the solid, impenetrable wall she had built against him.He didn't know how to reach her. He had never had to apologize in his life. He didn't know how to offer comfort, how to say that her silence was driving him insane, how to tell her that having her slip through his fingers was tearing him apart from the inside. All he knew was brute force, leverage, and chains. And none of those things were working on her anymore."Say something," he whispered, his chest heaving against hers, a dark, dangerous plea laced beneath the order. "Say one word to me, Dulzura."Viola didn't move. Her chin stayed steady in his grip, her violet eyes locked on his, empty and unyielding.Sebastian stared at her parted

    Viola let out a startled cry, her hands flying out to push at him, but Sebastian had already dropped into her chair, dragging her down across his lap."Let go of me!" she gasped, her voice raw as she began thrashing against his grip. "Sebastian, stop it!"Sebastian’s arm locked around her ribs like a band of forged steel, crushing her against his broad chest so tightly she could barely draw air. His other hand pinned both of her wrists together in an iron grip, holding them down against her lap.He towered over her, his breathing harsh, his amber eyes burning with a wild, frustrated fury she had never seen before. The terrifying, ice-cold control he had worn like armor for thirty-four years was completely gone."Look at me," he commanded, his voice a low, gravelly rasp vibrating straight through her spine.Viola clamped her jaw shut. She turned her head sharply to the side, pressing her cheek against his shoulder, staring stubbornly at th

    He leaned down, his eyes dropping to her parted, trembling lips.For one split second, the sheer heat of his presence threatened to pull her under. Her body remembered the way his mouth tasted, the way he held her in the dark, the impossible tenderness he had shown before ripping her heart out.Then his words from the guest room echoed through her mind, cold and venomous:I don't do love, Viola. I never have, and I never will.The illusion died instantly.Viola’s expression turned to stone. The softness vanished from her eyes, replaced by pure, freezing disgust.She didn't let his hand touch her skin.With both hands, she shoved against his wet chest with everything she had.Sebastian took a half-step back, his grip on her waist tearing free. His amber eyes narrowed, a sharp flicker of shock cutting through his dark gaze before his jaw set into a rigid, dangerous line.The rejection hit him like a physi

    By the fourth afternoon, the deep scrapes on Viola’s soles had closed into faint pink scars. The skin was tender, but the throbbing had eased into a dull stiffness.She needed to get away from the heavy atmosphere of the master suite.Remembering the terrace on the fourteenth floor, Viola took the elevator up to the rooftop.The mountain air outside was freezing, dense with a white, rolling fog that swallowed the valley below. But in the center of the natural stone patio, the wide mineral hot spring was steaming. The water bubbled gently against the pale granite rocks, carrying the faint, earthy scent of volcanic stone.Viola stripped down to a dark two-piece swimsuit, set her folded towel on a wooden lounger, and lowered herself into the water.A quiet, shuddering sigh left her throat.The heat sank straight into her muscles, melting the tension that had locked her spine for four days. She rested her ankles against a flat underw

    Sebastian’s hand halted in midair.Viola pulled her knees closer to her chest, her violet eyes lifting to meet his for the briefest fraction of a second. There was no fear in them this morning. No tears, no begging. Just a flat, freezing indifference that hit harder than any scream she had thrown at him in the woods.Sebastian stared at her, his lips pressed into a hard, dangerous line."Rosa has breakfast ready in the dining room," he said, each word tight and clipped.Viola turned her face back to Bear, scratching behind the dog's ear.Sebastian lingered for two more seconds, his fingers flexing at his side, before turning on his heel and walking toward the north corridor where his office was. The heavy oak door shut behind him with a sharp click.Viola let out the breath she hadn't realized she was holding, burying her face into Bear's warm neck.That silence did not break by evening. Nor did it break the next day, or

    Viola spent the rest of the day hiding in her tiny bedroom.She didn't go down for lunch, and she skipped dinner entirely. She just sat on the edge of her bed, her knees pulled tight to her chest, waiting. She expected her mother to burst through the door at any second. She expected to be dragged t

    The study in the Hierro estate always smelled the same. Old leather, expensive scotch, and decaying power.Sebastian stood near the massive mahogany desk, looking out the large window that overlooked the manicured gardens. He wasn’t wearing a suit jacket, just his dark shirt, unbuttoned at the coll

    Viola stood in front of the small mirror in her bedroom, her fingers gently touching her jaw.Yesterday, right after her mother’s hand had cracked across her face, Viola had run to the bathroom and desperately covered the angry red mark with cheap foundation. Now, with the makeup washed off, a fain

  • Forbidden By Her Mafia Stepbrother    CHAPTER 1

    The heavy oak doors of the Hierro estate always felt too tall, like they were designed to make whoever walked through them feel small.Viola pulled the sleeves of her oversized sweater over her knuckles. She kept her head down, hoping her hair would fall over the sides of her face. Maybe if she sta
