AVERY'S POV

I woke up uneasy— frightened maybe. Turning to the side, I noticed a crutch and wheel chair was provided for me. Good because I need to get some air.

"Woah! woah! What are you doing?" Sydney said out of the blue. When did she get in? "You should be in bed not trying to sprain your ankle any further. How's your arm?"

"I'm fine, my arm feels a lot better." It was hurting but I needed to move. After days of being tied to a bed—it felt that way. I want to finally move around, breathe. “I'm not made of glass you know.”

“yeah you're not but you're a human on the road to recovery and putting pressure on yourself wouldn't help.”

Pressure? I wasn't pushing or putting pressure on myself. I just need to get up and move for a bit. Sleeping all day is exhausting.

"Fine, you win." That was a lie. I still have every intention of leaving this room but I have to get her to leave—not that I don't want her present.

"cool!" Sydney said excitedly. I'm still trying to grasp how o

  • Mafia's fetish: Bound by a contract    36: Doctors report

    Avery’s POVI opened my eyes to find Aiden’s face hovering over mine. He looked worried. How long was I out?“You’re awake. How are you feeling, Avery?” Aiden asked, looking and sounding concerned. His brows were knitted together in worry. “I feel fine but tired for some reason.” At these words, Aiden held my face in his hands, looking into my eyes. He was acting like a doctor, trying to confirm if my words were true. “Are you hungry? I could ask the cook to make you something nice. A huge smile spread across my lips.“Thank you, Aiden. That’ll be nice, I’m starving.”“Good to hear.” He said with a smile.A few minutes later, food was brought up. I immediately sat up to eat. Aiden walked over to me, placed more pillows behind me so I could rest on them. “Time for you to eat.” I nodded at his statement, reaching for the plate, my fingers brushed against his, we’d both reached for the plate.When he looked up at me, his gaze was intense. For no reason at all, I felt a little shy under

  • Mafia's fetish: Bound by a contract    35: Fainting fever

    Aiden’s pov I’ve had my fair share of bloodshed. I’ve been through shit and I’ve survived a lot of stomach churning situations. Thought I’d finally passed that phase. The sight of Carlos’ battered and decapitated head left a sick taste on my tongue. Memories replayed in my head. “Fuck!!!” I couldn’t bottle up my frustration. I could have saved them if I had been quick enough. Heaven knows it would have been better if he’d died in the car explosion than this way. “I want them all dead!”“Boss, I think it’s best if you leave for now, at least until everything calms down.”“No, I can’t possibly do that! I’ll look like a coward and besides they’d—”I heard Avery’s voice, she screamed at me. I could barely process what she was saying. “You’ll let the rest of us die because you’re too ashamed to run away from danger?” She questioned me in anger. “Avery, you shouldn’t be here! I asked you to stay in my room.” I shouted back. She knew nothing! Nothing about what was going on or how these ga

  • Mafia's fetish: Bound by a contract    34: Decapitated

    Avery PovWhat was I thinking? I clearly wasn’t thinking at all. Why did I tell him I loved him? My lack of control over my tongue wasn’t the worst part, his reaction was. Everything was fine a few moments ago. I had just had the most intense pleasure of my entire life and went ahead to ruin it with my silly confession of love.“What happened? Is it because I said I love you?” I already knew the answer to these questions. My heart ached, knowing he could never feel the same for me. “I don’t expect you to say it back. You don’t have to feel the same way. This is me letting you know about my feelings.” My voice cracked, exposing the hurt I fought so hard to hide. “Avery i—” His words were caught off the sound of multiple gunshots. Fear twisted a knot in my stomach. Not again. Memories of the night I got shot kept replaying in my head. My fear got me rushing over to Aiden, clinging to him like his my only means of survival. I hoped it was all a dream.“What was that, Aiden? Wha

  • Mafia's fetish: Bound by a contract    33: I love you

    Aiden’s pov For some reason Avery was uncomfortable as we sat and ate at the dining table. She kept stealing glances at me while I focused on my phone. Though my focus was on my phone, I could see her from the corners of my eyes.“you’re starting school tomorrow, right?” I asked peeking a little from the corner of my eyes without lifting my head from my phone. “yes, but I can wait until after the burial.” She can’t be serious. “No need.” I sipped my coffee as I watched her fill her mouth with bread. Silly thoughts of filling her mouth with something else filled my head. Her discomfort was beginning to worsen.“what’s wrong?” I asked.“Nothing.” There was obviously something wrong but still, she said nothing, asking why I would even think something was wrong.“I have eyes, Bella Mia.” Endearments now came freely and for some reason, I seemed to like it. With a slight move of my index finger, I gestured for her to come over to me.When I had gotten her right where I wanted— on m

  • Mafia's fetish: Bound by a contract    32: Change

    Avery's pov“You're starting school tomorrow, right?” Aiden asked, his eyes focused on his phone. Three days had gone by since Stephan's death. Sometimes, Aiden lets his control slip, letting us— me see a glimpse of his worry, maybe pain.“Yes.” I replied, stuffing more bread into my mouth. Aiden had started eating at the dining table all of a sudden. At first, I wasn't comfortable and I considered taking my food upstairs to eat but I know Aiden, maybe not much but enough to know he'd make up something in his. Maybe he just wanted company. “I could wait until after Stephan's burial…”“No. There's no need to wait. You've already lost half of the semester.” His voice was calm as he spoke. Too bad it took the loss of someone dear to him to change him. “I'll drop you off at school.”“What?” I must have heard wrong. There's no way Aiden would volunteer to be my driver.“You heard me.” He said, his voice so sharp. He might have changed but he still couldn't deal with being questioned or is

    WRITER’S POVWhat is the best way to beat a lair if not at his own game? Aiden flashed a huge smile at the man in the Study with him.They’d spent most of the day going through files— incriminating evidence of businesses and relationships, anything they could get their hands on.“I must say, you are way smarter than I give you credit for. How did you get all of this?”“Sneaky work, long story. You might want to get copies of this and hand it over to Giovanni's.” The suggestion was harmless, innocent even but it ignited a fire within Aiden. “What for?”“No offense but your family and theirs have been at war for decades now, it’ll be the perfect opportunity to end the feud.”“And what do you think you know about the feud, huh? They took everything! Everything… And until I get my revenge, I seek no peace.” Aiden roared, his voice stiff with rage. The Giovanni’s and the Mancini’s—Armstrong’s now, have fought endlessly since the time of Don Matteo Mancini, Aid
