Calla sat alone in the dining room, digesting what had just happened, when the elderly housekeeper walked in with grocery bags in her hands.

The woman had a warm smile on her face. "Oh tesoro," she said. Calla quickly stood up to help her with the bags.

"You kind, thank you."

She followed the elderly woman to the kitchen and placed the bags on the counter.

Calla pressed her lips together in a smile and nodded. "Good morning," she said to the woman.

"Good-a morning, cara," replied the woman as she took out the bag's contents. "How was-a the night?" She turned to Calla and passed her a knowing smile, followed by a wink.

It took Calla by surprise and she tried not to laugh. This old woman knows too much.

Calla cleared her throat and leaned on the counter, trying to act casual. "Good," she said.

"Good, si?" the woman asked and Calla nodded.

She emptied the bags and turned to Calla. "Eh, let-a me fix you a glass of hot-a chocolat," she said and patted Calla’s hand and went to make the choc

  • His To Possess    Chapter 51: Ice Cream Mess

    Calla tapped her foot nervously against the concrete floor of the pastry shop, chewing on her nails as her eyes darted around, checking if anyone was watching her.She stared down at the burner phone in her hand, waiting for the message that always came around this time.It had been over a month since she started working as Salvatore’s spy. The day after she called him to say yes, he sent her a brown box.Inside were a burner phone, two mini trackers, and a tiny microphone. He only spoke to her through text messages that erased themselves ten seconds after she read them.Her first job was to plant the microphone in Rico’s office—which she did, hands trembling the whole time.The tracker, though, was harder. It was small, magnetic, and waterproof. Salvatore told her to stick one on Rico, and the other on one of his shipment trucks. The second part was almost impossible.Rico never discussed his business with her. She didn’t even know what the inside of his warehouse looked like.Planti

  • His To Possess    Chapter 50: A King Must Rest

    The drive to the port was quiet. The only sounds were the low hum of the engine and the ticking of Rico’s watch. His jaw was tight the whole ride. The call had been short and sharp—another shipment hit. The first happened weeks ago when he was with Calla. He got that call and had to leave.This being the third one this month with the same route and same pattern. Whoever was behind it knew exactly where to strike.When the car stopped at the dock, the smell of salt and metal hit him. Floodlights flashed across the wreck of broken crates, spilled cargo, and blood on the concrete. Two men were lying face down.Rico stepped out, the soles of his shoes echoing against the wet ground. The men nearby straightened the moment they saw him. He didn’t speak right away. He just looked around, at the bodies, the mess, and the missing half of what should’ve been his profit.It wasn't good."Chi era di guardia?" 'Who was on watch?' Rico finally asked, his voice calm, but it carried weight that made

  • His To Possess    Chapter 49: The Decision

    Calla had no idea how she got home. She was so disoriented and out of it. Her hands, which held the business card Salvatore had given her before she left, trembled, and her heart raced."Fuck. What do I do now?" She cussed, gripping her hair painfully. She checked her phone and saw three texts from Luxe.She inhaled deeply and dialed Luxe’s number. It rang once before her friend’s voice burst through the speaker, loud and worried.“Babeee! I’ve been tryna reach ya, girl!” Luxe half-yelled, half-whispered like she didn’t care if anyone heard her. “How did it go? What they say?”Before meeting Salvatore, Calla had already told her everything. Luxe had warned her to behave, keep her head down, don’t argue, and most importantly, don’t piss them off. She knew how Calla could be sharp-tongued, and those people would hurt her if she didn't behave.Calla leaned against the cold counter in her kitchen, her hand shaking as she held the phone. “It’s bad, Luxe,” she muttered, her voice low and sh

  • His To Possess    Chapter 48: No Other Way

    Maybe she heard wrong. Perhaps the hangover from last night had fried her brain. Maybe she drank too much with Luxe at the bar, and now she was hearing things. Maybe she’d passed out somewhere, and this was just one of those twisted dreams her mind liked to play on her.Yeah, that had to be it.A nightmare. All she needed to do was shake it off.Calla’s shoulders began to shake. Her lips twitched into a smile, and then she laughed. A soft chuckle at first, then it got louder, almost hysterical. She threw her head back, laughing like someone who had finally lost it. Maybe she had lost it.This man really thinks she'll ploy against Rico? He's sick. He and whoever this boss of his is, they're both sick.When she looked back at Salvatore, her eyes were wet, but not from joy. “You’re joking, right?” she asked between shaky breaths. “You— you can’t be serious.”“Do I strike you like a man who jokes around, Lyra?”“Calla,” she bit out, her jaw clenching painfully. “My name is Calla.”Salvato

  • His To Possess    Chapter 47: Spy

    The air felt strange. A lot stranger than when Calla walked in. The evil smile on the scarred-brow man isn't making things any better. Her stomach twisted with disgust and her fingers curled into a fist.Before coming here, she told herself to expect anything and more. Like getting captured, walking into a trap, or even robbed. But this wasn't on the list.Hell, she would've never thought he'd ask her this. To be their spy? How? Why?"Your spy?" She asked, confusion in her tone and face. Her eyes turned to the girl who still spun on the pole, bored.The man who introduced himself as Mr Salvatore, nodded slowly. "Yes, a spy for me," he said, scratching his jaw that's covered with dark stubble. "My boss, I meant to say."He was confusing her further. Did he mistake her for someone? She's an escort and not a spy. Although, she's been approached by a handful of clients in the past, asking her to spy or blackmail someone. Either their business rival or family member—which was common in he

  • His To Possess    Chapter 46: Mr Salvatore

    Calla didn’t sleep a wink all night. She tossed and turned until dawn, and now she was paying for it with a hangover and a pounding headache. Eli was supposed to be discharged today, but she decided to let him stay. Under Simon’s watchful eyes, he was safer there than with her. She sipped her coffee, Luxe’s words echoing in her head. The plan was risky, but it was the only way out. She’d start working again as they ordered—secretly—until she could clear the debt. Rico could never find out. That was the tricky part. How was she supposed to sneak around with Bruno always hovering nearby? Then again, he hadn’t been around much since the day he dropped her off with that warning. Guilt twisted in her chest. She couldn’t believe she was actually considering it. Her phone buzzed just as she rinsed her mug. A new text. [Meet us at the old warehouse on Miller Street. 12 a.m. Don’t be late.] Her stomach dropped. "This is it," she muttered under her breath. There was no turning b
