The hall glowed gold with chandeliers, men in black suits and cold eyes gathered like wolves in tailored skin. Ortensia stood by Vito’s side, dressed in red like he told her, her hands trembling though her face stayed frozen. She was his trophy tonight. His warning. His possession.

He didn’t speak much, but his hand rested on her lower back like a brand, reminding everyone that she belonged to him. The air reeked of cigar smoke, and violence.

One of the dons, a slick-haired bastard with a croo

  • Owned By The Devil Himself    83: Not You

    After she landed at the airport, she adjusted her grip on the handle of her small echolas, dragging it behind her as her eyes scanned the crowded terminal. She was searching for Vito, or perhaps one of his men, though she had no idea who exactly would be picking her up. “Miss Ortensia.” A voice called out through the crowd, and Ortensia turned, offering him a bright, genuine smile.“Mr. Valentino,” she replied, recognizing him immediately as the man who had invited both her and Vito to the extravagant three-day yacht party. “My goodness, that smile of yours… you look absolutely radiant, truly beautiful,” he said, his voice warm with admiration as his eyes lingered on her face.“Thank you,” she replied softly, slightly caught off guard but clearly pleased by the compliment.I “I think you’re a very sweet person,” he continued, his tone sincere, “and I would really like to become your very good friend, if you don’t mind.”Ortensia, on the other hand, didn’t know how to react to his s

  • Owned By The Devil Himself    82: Come Meet Him

    ORTENSIA Ever since that incident with Saskia in the boutique, I’ve made it a habit to stay inside the house. I no longer go out unless it’s absolutely necessary. The atmosphere outside feels unpredictable lately, as though trouble is always lurking just around the corner. Scandals seem to spread faster than ever, and no one is safe from being caught in the middle of one. Even the video of me going viral has only made things worse.These days I just stay with Vito’s men. I’ve learned to keep quiet and simply go along with whatever they do, not drawing attention to myself. Even when I don’t say much, I just blend in with their presence, matching their calm, watchful energy.Like right now, I’m in the living room with them, seated comfortably as the television plays in the background. We’re all watching the news together.But then, another segment of the news began, shifting the tone in the room as the screen changed and a new headline appeared.“Saskia Ventura has come out publicly t

  • Owned By The Devil Himself    81: Tell The Truth 

    He didn’t let her finish her sentence, without a word, he abruptly cut the call. There was no need to speak further… Vito was certain that the man Enzo had sent to her location had recorded every word from her side. Every confession, every excuse, and every tremor in her voice was captured.He didn’t need explanations anymore, the evidence will speak for itself, and he already had everything he needed to plan his next move with absolute control.He dialed another number, and it was answered on the very first ring.“Take care of Saskia Ventura’s business,” Vito said coldly. “Make sure it collapses into bankruptcy.”Without waiting for a response, he ended the call. He had been lenient with her before, holding back out of something he could no longer justify… but that softness was gone now. Whatever remained between them had been buried the moment she chose betrayal.She knew better than anyone that Vito wasn’t someone to be trifled with, yet she had crossed the line. Now, with Ricardo’

  • Owned By The Devil Himself    80: The Old Don Successor 

    Vito knew he had every chance of achieving exactly what he came for. If the opportunity to become the old Don’s successor hadn’t existed, he wouldn’t have bothered showing up at all.Every step he took, every word he spoke, was calculated, and precise… because failure wasn’t an option. This was his moment, and he wasn’t about to let it slip through his fingers for anything less than total control and power.But Vito wasn’t the only one with ambitions to take over the old Don’s business. Ricardo… the man he admired, the one who had trained him, and the one who had guided him into the dangerous, unforgiving world of the Mafia… also had his sights set on the throne, making the competition personal and unpredictable.He hadn’t realized that Ricardo harbored the same ambition, and had he known, he would never have come, risking the humiliation that now loomed over him.It was clear that the old Don, childless and searching for a worthy heir, seemed to favor Vito as his successor. Every mov

  • Owned By The Devil Himself    79: Won’t Forgive

    Hearing what Saskia said about Ortensia pushing her into the pool, fully aware of her asthma, drew loud gasps from everyone in the boutique. Shock rippled through the room, conversations dying instantly as all eyes turned to Ortensia.Some whispered among themselves, others stared in disbelief, clearly unsettled by the accusation. But Saskia wanted them to understand that she meant every single word, with no room for doubt or misinterpretation. Lifting her chin, she repeated herself, louder this time.“You wanted to kill me because of a man, so you pushed me into the pool,” she declared, making sure everyone heard her clearly.Immediately, her friends pulled out their phones, eager to record the unfolding drama. One by one, others in the boutique followed, lifting their devices to capture every moment. Within seconds, the entire scene turned into a spectacle, lenses pointed, and voice rising, everyone anticipating what would happen next.Seeing everyone raising their phones, Rico qu

  • Owned By The Devil Himself    78: You Are A Killer 

    A week had passed, and Vito still hadn’t returned. Not a single message, not even a short call to say he was alive. Every time she dialed his number, the phone rang endlessly before going silent. No answer, no reply, just nothing.Enzo kept insisting Vito was fine and told her to stay put, to trust him and not worry. But how could she not? For seven long days she had remained here, going nowhere, doing nothing different.The same routine repeated itself endlessly… wake up, wait, check her phone, and hope for a message that never came. With each passing day, the silence felt heavier, and the worry in her chest only grew stronger.The only thing that brought her a small sense of comfort was Rico. He had been the one keeping her company during the long days. In fact, he was the only one she really spoke to. Among all of Vito’s men, Rico was the only one who actually talked to her.So he kept her company, and at first it helped. But now she was tired of it too. Tired of the mansion, tired
