Avery's POV

The wait was getting painfully annoying. I mean, I thought we were cool. He'd carried me into the room without saying a word to me even when I tried to start a conversation with him.

I had even gone to his study, to try and talk to him, he'd acted cool, made me believe he was ready for some steamy time. I had freshened up and slid into the only sexy dress I own. It was way too short compared to what I was used to, exposing more cleavage than was necessary. The dress was all Sydne

  • The Mafia Boss's Dark Obsession    56: Bullets for Keisha

    AVERYI remained on the bench for a while after Luigi left, staring at the file in my hands.A forged will.The Kingstons had been lying to me, but I still didn't know how deep their deceit went. Every answer seemed to lead to another question, and I was exhausted from trying to make sense of it all.My stomach growled, reminding me that I hadn't eaten. I was about to get up when my phone rang.Kiki's name flashed across the screen.A small smile tugged at my lips as I answered. “Hey, girl.”“Don't tell me you're busy.”I chuckled. “Why? What do you want?”“Wow. Can't I call my best friend without wanting something?”“You can, but you never do.”“Rude!” she exclaimed, making me laugh. “Anyway, I was thinking we could go on an ice cream date. Just like we used to.”I fell silent for a moment.It had been a while since we'd done something as simple as that. Lately, my life had been one problem after another, and I'd barely had time to breathe, let alone spend time with my best friend.“

    AVERY“Okay, slow down,” I breathed. “What are you guys talking about? I don't understand.”Sydney sniffled, then lifted her gaze to look at me. “You remember Aiden’s past that I told you was his to share?”I nodded.“Someone put it out in…” She trailed off, shifting her gaze to Stephan.“On display at the conference for all to see,” Stephan added.I staggered backward. Sydney hadn’t exactly told me all the details. Aiden’s panic attack had revealed more.The little bit he’d shared in bed once was enough to let me know just how bad those memories were. And someone had deliberately put them on display to push him back into that terrible place.What exactly was their aim?“And you think it was Jayden, Syd?” I asked in a low voice.“I don't know… I can't think of anyone else.”“What if it's one of his enemies?” I asked.“It's definitely an enemy, but an outsider can't access those files,” Sydney mumbled.“It's definitely one of us,” Stephan’s voice rumbled softly.“What do you mean, one

  • The Mafia Boss's Dark Obsession    54: Panic

    AVERYI woke up to an empty room. Aiden was already gone.After brushing my teeth and taking a quick shower, I headed to the garden. I wanted to see Luigi, hoping he'd show up as promised.I waited for an hour, but he never came.Disappointed, I returned inside. I turned back, wondering if I had left too soon. My stomach rumbled."Food first," I muttered to myself, turning back towards the direction of the dining room.I bumped into someone, and pain exploded in my head. I hissed."Ouch!" Sydney gasped."Sorry," I blurted out, rubbing my forehead."I've been looking everywhere for you. How are you? Hopefully better than I am.""I'm fine," I breathed. I studied her face for a moment. "What's wrong?" I asked calmly, taking her hand. I was interested in what she had to say, but I was also interested in breaking my fast. I led her to the dining room. "Sit."I gestured to a maid to bring breakfast."I don't know. I feel so... Honestly, I don't know. I just feel so emotional, exhausted, and

  • The Mafia Boss's Dark Obsession    53: THE GHOSTS OF MY PAST

    AIDEN The conference meeting had barely begun when I started regretting my decision to attend. Nothing seemed to make sense.My mind kept drifting back to what Luigi said—to Avery. My presence was important so I couldn't miss it. Everyone's attention was fixed on the presentation displayed on the large screen. Financial reports, projections, and a series of documents appeared one after another. I listened with half an ear, answering questions when necessary and signing off on decisions that should have been handled weeks earlier. Then finally, it was time for my speech. I had drafted the minute in the few minutes I spent in the car on the drive to the office.Suddenly, the screen changed. A file appeared on the screen. At first, I thought nothing of until the executives began exchanging glances and whispering. I slowly turned my gaze back to the screen. There were dates, names, and records I hadn't seen in years. Medical notes. Statements. Photographs from an investigation that

  • The Mafia Boss's Dark Obsession    52: Chat with Luigi

    AIDEN“Find him,” I ordered, buttoning my jacket. “The next time Luigi shows his face, I want him brought to me.”Stephan nodded. “And if he resists?”“Then you remind him that I asked for him alive.” I shot him a warning look. “Don't hurt him, Stephan. I want answers, not another fucking problem.”“Yes, Don.”I turned toward the window, my jaw tightening.Luigi Giovanni.The name had been circling my mind since Avery mentioned him. Giovanni, the family I swore to destroy. I had tried to hide my reaction to the name. Giovanni or not, I—I loved her.Avery had asked me to let her figure things out on her own, and I'd given her my word. I intended to keep it.That didn't mean I couldn't seek answers. If Luigi had answers, I wanted to hear them from his own mouth.And if he was lying, he'd better have a damn good reason. ****I did the last button on my shirt. quietly, I slid out of the room, careful not to stir Avery. I hadn't been to the office in weeks. I had an important conference

  • The Mafia Boss's Dark Obsession    51: Wave of Sadness

    AVERYI stood by the window, staring at the garden without really seeing it. My thoughts were a mess, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make sense of what Luigi had told me.My cousin.The words sounded ridiculous even in my head. Yet, the photograph he had shown me kept flashing before my eyes. The woman in it looked so much like me that I couldn't dismiss it as a mere coincidence.What if he was telling the truth?What if the people I'd spent my entire life believing were my family weren't actually my family?The Mafia had a way of ruining lives, considering my supposed long lost family were into the Mafia as well.What would my baby's life look like?My hand instinctively drifted to my stomach. Would his life end up being as horrible as his father's or mine?I swallowed hard, blinking away the tears gathering in my eyes.What if this feud ends up like it did decades ago, leaving or child exposed to the dangers of the world. I wouldn't want my baby to go through all that i

    AIDEN'S POV My innocent bride has no idea what I have planned for her tonight. I'll let her be for now. Spending some time with the Cartel wouldn't hurt; it's a great way to pass the time. "Boss, you just got married. Shouldn't you be busy with your bride?" "You called me 'Boss,' which means you

    AIDEN'S POV "Did you get info on their location?" "No, boss," Stephan replied, his tone laced with heavy disappointment. "What exactly do I pay you for?" "I'm sorry, Boss." "Are you sure you actually tortured the man, or do I need to go down there and handle it myself?" "We broke him, Boss, bu

    AVERY'S POV There was something wrong. The men in this room were all strange. I wouldn't be surprised if they were shape-shifting monsters. They terrified me. “Take my hand already,” my father ordered in a low, dangerous voice. I immediately slid my hand into his. He guided me to the table I hadn

    AVERY'S POV I had to escape; this was my chance. A few more steps and I would be free. I just had to get to Keisha. My hands touched the hot metal of the gate, my heart racing with joy. Suddenly, cold metal pressed against my head. Beads of perspiration formed on my forehead. “Turn around.” The
