Carla~

Dressed in black from head to toe, I stepped out of the sedan and immediately felt the heavy atmosphere settle over me like smoke. It was particularly suffocating, but what could I possibly expect?

Luca II Grigo’s mansion looked entirely different today.

The grand estate that had once been alive with music, laughter, expensive liquor and dangerous men celebrating power now stood under a blanket of silence and mourning. Black vehicles lined the driveway endlessly while mourners dressed in

    Xavier~“That’s it. I’m involving the cops.”Larry abruptly got to his feet, the chair scraping harshly against the marble floor as he stormed toward the door.I barely lifted my eyes.Bad idea. Very bad idea.Before Larry could get any farther, Damian stepped in front of him with both hands raised.“Woah woah, slow down big bro.”Larry looked ready to punch him straight in the face.“The hell do you mean slow down?” he snapped. “My sister is missing!”“And calling the cops won’t magically fix that,” Damian shot back immediately.Larry clenched his jaw.I stayed seated in silence, watching the two of them go at it while nursing the untouched glass of whiskey in my hand.Truthfully?Neither of them understood how dangerous this situation actually was.Marcus Grigo wasn’t some spoiled rich brat throwing tantrums. He was mafia.And not the kind you threatened with police badges.Damian sighed tiredly before trying again.“The man currently holding Carla is probably one of the most danger

    Carla~Warm water slid down my skin as the two maids worked in silence around me.One stood behind the marble tub carefully washing shampoo through my hair while the other knelt beside the water, gently scrubbing my arms with a sponge. The scent of lavender filled the massive bathroom, almost suffocating in how luxurious it all felt.I hated every second of it.The girls couldn't have been much older than Minnie. Or at least, that's what I thought.One looked barely twenty while the other seemed even younger. Petite frame, pale skin and nervous eyes that seemed to dart around a lot.Neither of them would look directly at me.Not once.Their movements were quick and practiced, almost robotic, as though they had done this many times before.I swallowed hard."Listen..." I tried again quietly. "You both really don't have to do this."No response.Not even a glance.The older one simply reached for my wrist and lifted my arm slightly to rinse soap away.A bitter feeling settled heavily in

    Carla~My fists slammed repeatedly against the cold metal door.“Let me out!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, kicking the door hard enough to send pain shooting up my leg. “Do you hear me?! Open this damn door before I kill every single one of you!”I didn't even realise when I started making murder threats that I could never carry out, but I really didn't care.My voice came out hoarse and strained.I had been shouting for hours.At least, I thought it had been hours.There were no windows in this godforsaken room, no sunlight or clock. No way to tell how long I had been trapped down here like some animal. And the only way to receive ventilation was through some rusted vent in the ceiling above.The dim yellow bulb hanging above flickered weakly, barely lighting up the concrete walls around me.“Marcus!” I yelled again, slamming my palms against the metal. “You psycho bastard!”“Oh, give it up.”I gritted my teeth at the groan from behind me before rolling my eyes in annoyance.“N

    Damian~"She what?!"My voice thundered across the entire lobby, drawing startled stares from employees and visitors alike. Somewhere behind the front desk, a receptionist nearly dropped her coffee from the sheer force of my outburst.Greta flinched visibly in front of me, clutching her tablet tightly against her chest."I tried stopping her, Mr. Reeves." She rushed out anxiously. "I swear I did. But Carla wasn't listening to anyone anymore. The moment she saw that interview, she just....""Stormed off to confront a mafia boss by herself?" I snapped, dragging a frustrated hand through my hair. "What the hell was she thinking?!"The tension in my chest felt unbearable.My heart had been pounding violently ever since Greta made that call. At first I thought maybe Carla had simply gone somewhere to cool off. Maybe she'd driven around the city to clear her head.But no.Carla had done the absolute worst thing imaginable.She had marched straight into Marcus Grigo's territory alone.I turn

    Carla~"Where is he?"My voice echoed furiously through the massive hall as my heels struck sharply against the marble floor."Where's that goddamn son of a bitch?!"The men stationed around the mansion exchanged uneasy looks but none of them moved to stop me.Good.Because at that moment, I genuinely would've clawed my way through every single one of them if I had to.My chest rose and fell heavily as I stormed deeper into the estate.The familiar scent of cigar smoke lingered thickly in the air.And then I saw him.Marcus Grigo.Seated lazily on a large leather chair like some self-satisfied king upon his throne, one leg crossed over the other.A cigar resting comfortably between his fingers.Completely relaxed, completely calm. Like he hadn't just attempted to destroymy reputation on live television moments ago.His eyes landed on me immediately.And to my disgust...They lit up with amusement."Oh," he drawled smoothly. "You're here."The smug grin spreading across his face made r

    Carla~"What the hell?!"My voice echoed violently across the office as I stared at the massive television mounted against the office wall.On the screen sat Marcus Grigo himself.Relaxed and smiling.He was looking entirely too comfortable for someone I wanted dead at the moment."I've always shared a very close relationship with Carla Dunbar," he spoke smoothly into the microphone, dressed in an expensive black suit while reporters practically hung onto every word leaving his mouth.I felt my stomach twist violently.Beside me, Greta muttered a quiet curse beneath her breath.Marcus continued talking."After my grandfather's passing, she remained one of my biggest supporters. Honestly, I don't think I would've managed this transition without her guidance."A reporter leaned forward immediately."So Ms. Dunbar is actively affiliated with the Grigo family?"Marcus smiled.That bastard actually smiled."Let's just say Carla and I understand each other very well.""And yes, she actually

    Carla~I never imagined this moment would come so quietly.No courtrooms.No lawyers circling like vultures.No long, bitter fight where my past was dragged through the mud for strangers to dissect.Just Xavier… standing across from me, hands folded tightly in front of him, eyes hollow in a way I h

    Xavier~Estelle.A murderer?The word echoed over and over in my skull as I stood there, hands clenched at my sides, staring at nothing. Conversations buzzed around me, officers talking, doors slamming, footsteps...but none of it registered.Estelle had murdered my father.Not Carla.Her.My chest

    Carla~"Fuck yes, Damian." I gasped.He was sinking into me for the third time this morning and we haven't even had breakfast yet.My toes curled and my entire body trembled with the pleasure of feeling him inside me."Don't stop." I whispered into his ear, nibbling and biting.That was all the enc

    Carla~Pain dragged me back to consciousness slowly, cruelly.It throbbed at the base of my skull, spreading forward until it felt like my entire head had been stuffed with cotton and struck repeatedly. A groan slipped from my lips before I could stop it.The first thing I noticed was the scent.La
