When Ortensia collapsed, something in him snapped. He called every doctor within reach, threatened nurses who didn’t move fast enough, slammed fists into walls when machines beeped too slowly. For three days, he didn’t leave her side… unshaven, unblinking, a ghost with a heartbeat.

When her eyes finally fluttered open, his voice was barely a whisper. “Don’t ever scare me like that again.”

She blinked at him through a fog. “Scared? You mean… you were scared I got sick?”

He didn’t answer, his jaw

  • Owned By The Devil Himself    121: Hi Doll

    The sudden vibration of my phone cut through the tense silence of the room. I snatched the device off the bedside table, my thumb swiping across the screen.The message was from an unknown, encrypted number. I read the words out loud in my head, each sentence dripping with mocking malice:You said you wanted revenge, that is why you took Ortensia in. You want her to pay for what happened to your late brother. So now that she is not with you anymore, why do you look so damn scared and worried?A cold, electric jolt of pure adrenaline slammed through my veins. I looked around the room, my eyes scanning the shadows, the dark windows, and the door. Someone was watching me. Someone knew exactly what I was thinking, exactly how much this was tearing me apart.Without a word, I reached under my pillow and pulled out my gun, the matte-black steel reassuringly cold against my palm. The metallic click of the safety catching echoed in the small space. Instantly, Enzo and Rico reacted to the shif

  • Owned By The Devil Himself    120: Stay Away

    The silver platter sat completely untouched on the long, polished dining table, the steam from the prepared food rising slowly before dissipating into the cold, stagnant air of the massive room. Ortensia didn't eat with Valentino, even though he had asked her to do so multiple times with that perfectly polite, mask-like smile of his. Her stomach was tied in knots, and the very sight of the man sitting across from her made her skin crawl. She sat rigid in her high-backed chair, her eyes wide with a volatile mixture of raw anger, terror, and utter disbelief. The grand dining room felt less like a sanctuary and more like a beautifully decorated cage, its high ceilings echoing the tense silence that stretched between them."How?" Ortensia finally asked, her voice trembling but loud enough to cut through the quiet room.She looked at the man who had orchestrated her terrifying abduction from the restaurant, demanding to know how he could possibly claim to be her father."If you are truly

    VITO:Just as I thought, Dr. Alex was dirty. I looked over at Enzo."Enzo," I muttered, my voice cutting through the quiet room. "The plate number. The one I managed to scratch down before the warehouse doors slammed. I need you to run it right now. Look it up, and find out exactly whose name is on that registration."Before Enzo could even pull out his device to start the trace, the wooden door burst open with a loud, aggressive bang. Rico walked into the room, his clothes slightly disheveled and his breathing ragged, as if he had just run up the entire flight.He stopped dead in his tracks, looking directly at me, sitting up in the bed wrapped in white bandages.Rico balled his fists so tightly, his jaw clenching with pure frustration. "Boss," he rasped, his voice thick with guilt. "I am so sorry. I apologize with everything I have. I wasn't here when the ambush went down. Miss Ortensia... she is not here right now because I was late. If I had just been a few minutes faster, I coul

    VITO:I opened my eyes, blinking hard against the stinging, aggressive glare of bulb directly above me. As the blurry shapes in the room began to settle, Dr. Alex’s face came into focus right above my bedside. She was smiling down at me, that perfectly calm smile that usually meant absolutely nothing good was about to follow."Alex," I croaked. My throat felt like it was coated in thick layer of dry sand, and my vocal cords scraped together painfully.Then, the fog in my brain cleared all at once, and the memories hit me. The flashing muzzle lights. The wet, hot pooling of blood. Ortensia’s desperate screams echoing through the dark warehouse right before the doors slammed shut. I looked up at the doctor, my chest heaving as pure adrenaline flooded my system."Alex... You did this?"Her smile faltered for a fraction of a second. How can she make me sleep for long knowing Ortensia was in danger?She adjusted the IV drip line connected to the back of my hand. "I had to, Vito. You were l

  • Owned By The Devil Himself    117: Call The Doctor

    ORTENSIA How dare he say he is not my enemy when it seems like he is the exact definition of one?The words echoed like a joke in my mind as the heavy door clicked shut behind him. He had just orchestrated an ambush, left the man I belonged to bleeding out on a restaurant floor, dragged me across the city, and casually executed a woman right in front of me. Yet, he wanted me to believe he was my protector.Numbly, I moved toward the frosted glass door on the left side of the room. Every single step felt like I was walking through thick mud. I entered the bathroom, my breath catching at the luxury of the space, but I couldn't care less about the marble or the gold fixtures. I turned on the water, watching it steam, and began the agonizing process of peeling off my clothes.Bathing was pure torture. I had to keep my right arm elevated, cradling it against my torso while using my left hand to wash away the dirt, the sweat of my terror, and the dark, dried smears of Vito's blood. Seeing

    The world seemed to tilt violently on its axis, spinning out of control until the room became a blur of walls and terrifying realities. My breathing stuttered, catching like broken shards of glass in my throat as I stared at the man standing in the doorway. The silence that followed his words was suffocating.It pressed down on my chest, making it completely impossible to draw a full breath of air into my lungs.I must have seen wrong. Or maybe I had heard wrong. The trauma of the ambush at the restaurant, the blinding pain radiating from my arm, and the gut-wrenching terror of watching Vito collapse had finally driven me insane.My mind had to be playing tricks on me. It was twisting his voice, distorting the words because my psyche was fracturing under the weight of too much grief and horror. It had to be a hallucination. There was simply no other logical explanation.Mr. Valentino.He had just used a word that did not belong to me. A word that completely shattered the foundation of

    “I’m going to what?” Ortensia’s voice cracked, more disbelief than defiance.Vito sat up on the bed, his spine hitting the headboard with a thud. He rubbed his eyes like a tired child, slow and heavy. Then he looked at her lazily.“You’ll spend twenty-four hours here with me,” he said, voice flat,

  • Owned By The Devil Himself    18: His Room

    When I was taken from the restroom, everything happened so fast I didn’t even have time to scream. One second I was alone, and the next, a hand clamped over my mouth and everything went black. When I opened my eyes again, I wasn’t in the restroom anymore. I was in some strange, dark room that reeke

    “Hey, enough of this bullshit,” a voice cut through the tension in the room, its cold tone carrying a weight that made everyone stop in their tracks. Vito’s eyes snapped to the source of the sound, and his fingers instinctively tightened around the grip of his gun.He wasn’t dumb, He knew who this

  • Owned By The Devil Himself    16: Mafia World

    Ortensia couldn’t sit still anymore, the vibrator underneath her was buzzing at a low but constant rhythm, teasing her, making it hard to think straight. Her thighs trembled slightly, the fabric of her dress doing nothing to hide the way her breathing had changed. Across the room, Vito was in a dee
