I AM YOURS TO PLAY 61. Sarah's Desperation
Chapter 61: Sarah’s DesperationSARAH’S POVThe living room of our Miami condo smelled of lavender candles and my own desperation, the air thick with the weight of my schemes unraveling. I sprawled on the leather couch, a half-empty wine glass dangling from my fingers, the crimson liquid sloshing as I stared at the ceiling, my mind a tangle of rage and greed. Ethan—my so-called husband—was a ghost, his absence a splinter in my side since our last fight. “Pack your shit and get out, Sarah!” he’d screamed, his eyes blazing, as he stormed off into the night. That was three days ago, and I hadn’t seen him since, hadn’t cared to. All I cared about was the empire I was building, stolen brick by stolen brick, using his name, his accounts, his life. But now, everything teetered on the edge of collapse.My phone buzzed on the coffee table, its vibration jarring me upright, wine spilling onto my silk robe. I snatched it up, the screen flashing an unknown D.C. number. My heart kicked, a flicker
I AM YOURS TO PLAY 60. Blood On The Docks
Chapter 60: Blood On The DocksLUCIAN’S POVSweat dripped from my brow, the clang of weights echoing in my penthouse gym, the Miami skyline a blur through the floor-to-ceiling windows. My muscles burned as I racked a barbell, my breath heavy, my focus razor-sharp, trying to drown out the ache of Ethan’s absence. Italy was behind me, the Calabrese syndicate’s blood still staining my hands, but the thrill of that kill couldn’t erase the image of Ethan’s abandonment months back. Ethan, my butterfly, was gone, slipped away when I needed him the most but that didn’t mean that I was not going to protect him and love him from afar.The gym door burst open, Marco charging in, his face pale, his chest heaving like he’d sprinted from hell itself. My pulse spiked, my grip tightening on the towel I’d grabbed to wipe my face. “What the fuck, Marco?” I growled, stepping toward him, my voice sharp. “What’s chasing you?”He held up a hand, his eyes wide, his voice low but urgent. “Boss, I got intel
I AM YOURS TO PLAY 59. Hidden Evidence
Chapter 59: Hidden Evidence ETHAN’S POVThe night air was thick with humidity as I stormed out of the house, Sarah’s venomous words echoing in my ears—“You’re a pathetic fag, a failure!”—her slaps still burning my cheeks, the sting sharp and raw. I slammed the car door, my knee hitting the dashboard out of annoyance and frustration, my hands shaking as I gripped the wheel. My life was a wreckage: Sarah’s betrayal, my foster parents’ rejection, my uncle’s accusing call days ago accusing me of hiring thugs to beat up Harold, my foster father a few days ago. He’d insisted that I was behind Harold’s sudden disappearance and sudden reappearance with bruises and broken ribs just because Harold kept muttering to them to not touch me again. Just a few days ago I lost my entire team, Jenna, Torres, Dorin and Malik who died a few hours after he got to the hospital. I've been nursing that pain and guilt knowing that they all died because of me, and my uncle thinks that I was responsible for wh
I AM YOURS TO PLAY 58. Poisoned Plans
Chapter 58: Poisoned PlansSARAH’S POVThe living room was dim, the Miami sunset casting long shadows through the windows, the air thick with tension I’d been brewing for weeks. I stood by the kitchen counter, my hands gripping a glass of orange juice, the crushed sedative dissolving invisibly, my heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and dread. It’s been two weeks since I’d drugged Ethan, since I’d climbed on top of him, his body limp, his mind gone, my first step into pinning my pregnancy on him to secure my hold. But it wasn’t enough—his distance, his absence, his refusal to touch me since that night gnawed at me, a constant reminder that my plan was fraying. My belly hadn’t started showing yet, but time was ticking, and if Ethan ever admitted we hadn’t been intimate, the questions would come, the suspicions would unravel everything. I needed him compliant, needed him to consummate this sham of a marriage, to make my lie stick.The front door creaked open, and Ethan walked in
I AM YOURS TO PLAY 57. Narrow Escape
Chapter 57: Narrow EscapeETHAN’S POVThe Washington, D.C. workstation buzzed with the hum of computers and the low murmur of agents, a stark contrast to the Miami field office I was used to. I sat at a cluttered desk, my elbow propped against the chair, my eyes locked on a stack of case files for the serial murders of six young women whose bodies were dumped in D.C. alleys, their deaths reeking of mafia precision. The air was heavy, the fluorescent lights harsh, but my focus was razor-sharp, driven by a fire I hadn’t felt in months. Ryan’s punch four days ago, the blood streaming from my nose, his smug smirk as I was carted to the hospital—it didn’t break me. It only woke me. He wasn’t just jealous; he was scared, his confrontation too raw, too desperate for a simple case dispute. I knew Ryan, knew his venom, and something bigger was at play, something tying him to Director Hayes and the Salazar syndicate. I leaned back, my jaw still bruised from my foster father’s fists, my mind r
I AM YOURS TO PLAY 56. Mafia's Wrath
Chapter 56: Mafia’s WrathLUCIAN’S POVThe private jet hummed at 40,000 feet, the cabin dim, the only light coming from my iPad’s glow as I scrolled through encrypted messages, my fingers tapping with precision. The $30 million cocaine shipment deal with the Calabrese syndicate in Italy consumed my focus, every detail a matter of life or death—routes, contacts, payoffs. I sat in a leather seat, my black shirt open at the collar, my jaw tight, my mind locked on the job. Ethan’s face—his bruised jaw, his rejection in his driveway—tried to creep in, but I shoved it down, buried it under the weight of business. Marco sat across from me, his laptop open, his eyes scanning data, while my two trusted enforcers, Vinny and Carlo, lounged near the back, their guns holstered but ready. The air was thick with unspoken tension, the kind that came with deals this big. Marco leaned forward, his voice low, steady. “Boss, the Calabrese are waiting at Club Velluto in Naples. Three of them—Donato, the
