Every tear I shed feeds his ego. Every whimper, his pride. Every bruise he leaves behind, his silent claim over me. He takes me cold. Leaves me ruined. And I wait - quiet, breathless, for the next time he comes back to break me again. He thinks he has me in the palm of his hand. Thinks I’m nothing without him. A fragile wife, meek, obedient. A weakness he never needed. I let him believe it. I never tried to break the illusion. As long as I have his hands on me, As long as his shadows reach for me, That’s enough. But in the dark, daggers roam. And with every sound my heels make, they fall. He still thinks I’m glass, But he hasn’t heard me shatter.

I was already in bed, curled up beneath the covers, ready to call it a night when I heard the door open. My husband, stepped inside, already unbuttoning his shirt, the muscles along his chest tense, jaw set in that way that told me something had happened again. "Dante?" I called his name. He said nothing. Just let the shirt fall to the floor, forgotten. I looked at him. My heart ached in ways I couldn’t name. He always came to me like this when the weight of his world grew too heavy. And yet, no matter how long I held my gaze on him, no matter how much affection I offered in silence… he never looked back. He walked to me with purpose, eyes shadowed, and without warning, he grabbed me and slammed me down against the bed. "Ngh!" I gasped softly, not from fear, but from the force of it. He flipped me over, pushing my face into the mattress, one hand keeping me pinned there while the other found the clasp of my lingerie. The fabric gave way under his touch, falling partway down my hips without ever being fully removed. His hand gripped my waist, jerking me onto my knees, my cheek pressed deep into the mattress. I heard his zipper, the quiet drop of his belt. Then he hooked his fingers down to drop his pants, and boxers. I stayed still. Waiting. His cock slammed into me, fast, hard, unforgiving. I cried out, sharp and soft, face pressed into the mattress. The sound wasn’t in pain. Not fully. More like the breath torn from someone dropped too fast. "Hnng!" I gasped so sharply it felt like a sob. The force of it knocked a strained sound from my throat, my fingers clawing instinctively at the sheets. He didn’t wait for me to adjust, didn’t give me time to breathe. His hips slammed into mine again, and again, each movement merciless, paced like a man burning through rage he couldn’t speak aloud. Everything tightened, my thighs, my breath. The sudden ache stole every coherent thought. My fingers curled into the sheets, the fabric twisting beneath my grip. He held nothing back. His pace was ruthless, his grip tighter with every second. I could feel the bruises blooming beneath his fingers, feel the bed frame creak beneath the force of his movements. I felt the edge of the bed bite into my knees, the tension coiling up my spine. It wasn’t slow. It wasn’t sweet. “Take it,” he growled against the back of my neck. “Take all of me.” He drove deeper, faster. The slap of skin, the creak of the mattress, the choked rhythm of his breath filled the room. His hand pushed down between my shoulders, pinning me in place, forcing my chest to press into the bed while he kept my hips high. Then, yanked my head back by the hair, not to look into my eyes, but just to pull, to control, to remind me that I was his to take. It was brutal. Purposeful. His only intention was to lose himself inside me, and he did. "Nnh!" I whimpered once, quiet and broken, more out of instinct than pain. But he didn’t ease up. If anything, he gripped me harder. His pace turned savage, raw thrusts slamming into my pussy until my thighs trembled and the air in my lungs came in ragged little bursts. “Please… please, go slow…” My voice cracked. My cries slipped through the mattress like whispers in fog. He didn’t listen. He never does. If anything, he went harder. Rough. Wordless. Final. My dear husband, gripped on my waist tightly, bruising me again. He made a guttural sound as he climaxed. And when it was over, he pulled out without a sound. I heard the rustle of fabric behind me. The click of his belt. The crisp snap of each button sliding back into place. I stayed where he left me, on my knees, face down, breath steady. My lingerie still tangled around my thighs, skin flushed, body trembling faintly from the force of him. He didn’t even kiss me. Didn’t speak. Just turned, walked to the door, and left. The door slammed shut behind him, echoing through the bedroom. I stayed still for a moment, knees sinking into the mattress, his scent clinging to my skin like smoke. Then, slowly, I sat up. My legs trembled slightly, my pussy swelling and sore, but I ignored the sting. I pushed my hair back from my face with one hand and turned to face the mirror at the far end of the room. There I was. Disheveled. Flushed. My shoulder bore the faint imprint of his grip, my neck bruised by his tight grip, and my lips parted just enough to catch the breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding. Pitiful. Messy. Silent. And this is me, Catalina Moretti–Lucchese. Wife of the most powerful mafia boss in Italy. A man whose name carries blood and reverence. A legacy built on iron, fire, and fear. His domains span cities. His enemies multiply faster than I can count. Rivals speak his name behind closed doors, trembling. The ones that don’t… well, they don’t last long. And I? I’m the woman who shares his bed. Who bears his name. The obedient wife of Dante Lucchese. At least... that’s what I made them all think.DANTE'S PERSPECTIVE She fucking owned me. And the worst part? I let her. I didn’t stop her when she lead me down on that narrow bed. Didn’t snarl. Didn’t flip her over and drive myself in the way I always did. I just watched her. Watched the way she unzipped her pants, also mine, and crawled on top of me, her thighs straddling my hips, warm and trembling. I felt the heat of her pussy press right against me. Through my restraint. She grinded once, slow, firm. And I twitched so hard I almost came undone like a fucking teenager. Her palms pressed on my chest underneath my shirt, soft fingers tracing the scars she never asked about. Her eyes never left mine, not even when she slid her hand between us, unfastened me, wrapped her fingers around me. I hissed. She smiled. And then sh
CATALINA'S PERSPECTIVE The door creaked behind me, a low groan of old wood that sliced through the quiet. I didn’t turn. Not yet.I sat cross-legged on the worn rug, an ancient poetry book splayed open in my lap, its pages yellowed and crisp. A breeze slipped through the half-open window, carrying the musk of rain-soaked streets and mingling with the bookstore’s scent, fresh paper, old ink, and the faint vanilla of aging bindings. I’d spent the morning sorting new arrivals, stacking them on the creaky shelves that lined my tiny upstairs haven. My heart was steady, full, like the stillness after a long day. For once, everything felt like mine.Then the air shifted. A hum, electric and heavy, buzzed under my skin. Footsteps thumped on the narrow wooden stairs, deliberate but not rushed. I knew who it was before I looked.Dante.He didn’t knock. The doorframe groaned as he filled it, his broad shoulde
CATALINA’S PERSPECTIVE By morning, I couldn’t move. The ache was deep. Bone-deep. I laid there in the sheets that smelled like him, my body still sticky with sweat and stained with his cum. Every muscle screamed when I shifted. My thighs trembled when I tried to close them. So I didn’t. I stayed still. Eyes open, breathing slow, like any sudden movement would shatter something inside me. The bruises, they were darker now. Fresh ones layered over old. A storm of purples and fading blues decorated the softest parts of me. My hips, my ribs, the inside of my thighs. My neck bore the worst of it. Angry prints where his hand had clutched me too tightly, like he wasn’t sure if he wanted to hold me or destroy me. I pressed a finger gently to one of them and hissed. Still raw. Still his.
DANTE’S PERSPECTIVEThe basement stank of rust, sweat, and rot.The assassin was already bound to the post when I arrived. Enzo and the others had done their part, stripping him, tying him up like meat on a hook. He wasn’t old. Mid-thirties, maybe. Still had the balls to glare at me like he hadn’t just tried to slit my fucking throat two nights ago.Pity.I didn’t say a word.Didn’t ask who sent him.Didn’t care.My fists moved before I even knew what I was doing. His jaw cracked. Blood splattered. I heard one of his teeth hit the concrete. Something inside me broke with it, but I didn’t stop.I couldn’t.Because every punch… every swing of the whip… every kick into his ribs… wasn’t really for him.It was for Luca.For the way he looked at Catalina like she was some fucking sunrise.For the way she laughed with him.For the towel in her hand, wiping sweat from her bar
CATALINA'S PERSPECTIVEThe past few weeks blurred into paint samples, floor plans, and late-night Pinterest boards. I was constantly on my feet. Sweeping. Re-measuring. Adjusting the lighting to find the softest glow.This place, my place, was finally taking shape.Luca parked out front again today. He never complained, even though I dragged him from hardware stores to plant nurseries to antique shops where the air smelled like mothballs and forgotten dreams.“Be honest,” I said as we stepped inside the shop. “Is the ivy too much?”He followed my gaze up the wall where vines snuck up along the old brick like fingers. “It’s charming,” he said, brushing dust from a crate. “But it kinda looks like it’s alive. Like it’ll eat someone.”I laughed. “That’s the point. I want it to feel like a secret garden. Something you stumble into, not a polished chain store.”He gave a little smile, stepping over a roll of carpet I hadn’t la
CATALINA’S PERSPECTIVE Three days later I didn’t see Dante for the past three days. Not that I was waiting. Not that I ever asked where he went. Malcolm handed me the deed this morning. Two floors. Fully processed. Fully mine. It came with a blank stare and the usual polite distance. He never asked why I smiled when I took it. Luca drove me to the bookstore. He didn’t say much the entire ride, just glanced at me in the mirror every now and then like he was still trying to figure out if he should talk or stay quiet. The street was quieter than I imagined. Fewer people. Fewer cars. That was good. I didn’t want noise. The building looked… old. Simple. Red brick, faded and chipped. The left wall was half-covered in green vines. The windows were smudged, cracked in some corners. One had a missing pane altogether. A crooked hanging sign read Via
