CATALINA'S PERSPECTIVE

FRANCE - SUITE

NIGHT

Henri let us leave without protest, but the weight of his knowing stare clung to my back like a handprint.

The French don had seen enough, seen me unmask myself, and he was smart enough not to stop us when Dante’s silence carried more threat than any words could.

Dante didn’t speak as we were escorted to the car. His grip on my wrist was too tight, leaving me no doubt of his fury, but I let him drag me. To resist would be to admit fear, and La Rosa Nera did not flinch.

Inside the car, Malcolm and Nikolai sat in the front, their shoulders stiff, eyes deliberately forward.

They could feel the storm just as well as I could. The drive back to the suite stretched longer than it was, each streetlight flashing across Dante’s face, cutting shadows across the cold fury etched there.

He didn’t look at me once.

And I didn’t dare break the silence, not yet.

  • My Mafia Husband Thought, I Was Innocent    A Little Reintroduction

    CATALINA'S PERSPECTIVE FRANCE - SUITE AFTERNOON The knock came just as I expected, two sharp raps, not tentative, not commanding. Nico’s timing was precise as always, and Carlos… well, Carlos never arrived alone if he could help it.I rose from the couch, Dante still beside me, his palm heavy on my thigh, reminding me of where I belonged even as he bristled with suspicion.The door opened, and there they were, Nico in his usual relaxed posture, smirk tugging his lips, eyes already assessing Dante like a hawk circling prey. And Carlos, my Carlos, my baby brother, stepping in with a grin too bright for a world this dark.For a beat, silence. Tension coiled thick in the air.“Carlos,” I breathed, and before Dante could tighten his grip, I crossed the room and wrapped my arms around my brother. No masks. No hesitation. Just me.His arms squeezed me back, almost crushing, almost childlike. “Sorellina,” he sai

  • My Mafia Husband Thought, I Was Innocent    Strategy While Obsessing

    CATALINA'S PERSPECTIVE FRANCE - SUITE MORNING The morning light spilled through the sheer curtains, gilding Dante’s skin in a way that made him look more myth than man. My cheek rested against his chest, the steady thud of his heart still violent even in sleep, as though even his dreams fought wars. We were tangled, skin to skin, our limbs a knot that neither of us had any intention of loosening. When his lashes fluttered open, his eyes found me instantly, sharp, focused, obsessed. His palm came up, cupping my jaw, dragging his thumb over my lips like he had to remind himself I was here, not some apparition he’d dreamed up. “You’re awake,” he murmured, voice rough with the night. “I never really slept,” I confessed, pressing a kiss to the base of his throat. “Too many thoughts.” His mouth curved in that dark way of his, a smile and a

  • My Mafia Husband Thought, I Was Innocent    Unpretentious Sex

    DANTE'S PERSPECTIVE FRANCE - SUITE NIGHTI wanted to be wrecked. I wanted to be ruined and built again and marked like property. I wanted her to take me the way she’d taken everything else she wanted, precise, brutal, personal. When the gun skittered across the floor and the metal clinked like a surrender, I felt my breath change. Adrenaline was still raw but under it something cleaner rose, want shaped like a blade.She moved first. Of course she moved first. Catalina doesn’t wait for permission when she wants to own something.She climbed me like a tide. Her mouth was at my throat before my hands had time to register, lips hot, teeth grazing the pulse there. God, the way she kissed, claiming, not asking. Her hands flattened on my chest and pushed, forcing me back into the mattress, and when her mouth found mine it wasn’t some gentle, cautious tasting. It was a hard, wet thing that tasted of blood and

  • My Mafia Husband Thought, I Was Innocent    He Tested Her

    DANTE'S PERSPECTIVE FRANCE - SUITE NIGHTThe room was too silent. My knuckles still burned from the wall I’d split open earlier, the ache crawling up my arm, reminding me of every truth she’d thrown in my face. Catalina, my wife, my enemy, my La Rosa Nera.I wanted to see it. Not just hear it. Not just believe her words. I wanted to witness her in the flesh, the woman all of Italy whispered about, the shadow that made grown men piss themselves.So I pulled my gun. Cold steel in my hand, aimed straight at her chest.Her eyes widened for a fraction of a second. Then I saw it, the mask slip, the wife vanish. La Rosa Nera bled through, calm, sharp, dangerous. She didn’t flinch, didn’t beg. She knew exactly what I wanted.“Show me,” I growled.She moved. Fast. Too fast. One second the barrel was on her, the next I was the one on my back, the weight of her body pinning me down, the gun already in her hands. She straddled

  • My Mafia Husband Thought, I Was Innocent    A New Vow They Shared

    DANTE'S PERSPECTIVE FRANCE - SUITE NIGHTI stared at her, my wife, my enemy, my goddamn salvation and damnation wrapped in silk and lies. And then, I laughed.Not the kind that hides fury. Not the sharp edge of control. No. This laugh burned out of my chest like a release, tearing away the rage that had been choking me since the moment I put the pieces together. It was relief. Pure, savage relief.“Christ,” I cursed, voice raw, loud enough to split the silence. “That’s why. That’s why every time I laid eyes on La Rosa Nera, my body fucking reacted. My blood knew. My instincts knew. That pull, that rage, that goddamn obsession, it wasn’t split in two.” I dragged my hand through my hair, still laughing. “It was always you. Always my wife. My enemy. My obsession. The same woman after all.”She watched me. No guilt. No pleading. Her smile, the one she reserves for the moments she wants to cut me, spread slow and sure. It was the sm
