Those words… it made Fabio’s blood stop flowing, like his heart forgot how to beat for a second, and before anyone could blink, he snapped, pulled out his gun, and aimed it straight at Vito.

The sound of metal scraping and the cold glint of steel made the entire room gasp, and just like that, panic broke loose. People began running, shoving, yelling, chairs crashing to the floor, their heels clicking against marble like gunshots.

“How dare you threaten me like that?” Fabio barked, his voice sh

    Vito froze for a heartbeat, his hand hovering over the duvet. He looked at Ortensia, really looked at her, and felt a pang of something that felt dangerously like fear."You know the answer to that, doll," he said, his voice dropping into that gravelly, certain tone he used when he was commanding his world to stay in place."I’ve burned down half the city to keep you under this roof. Don't ask questions we both know the answer to." He said.He didn't wait for her to respond. He couldn't. The weight of his own secrets made it impossible to hold her gaze for too long. Instead, he channeled his guilt into movement, tucking the heavy wool blankets around her with aggressive precision. He began to pace the length of the marble floor, his boots clicking rhythmically."But this? This stunt in the shower?" He gestured wildly toward the bathroom. "You’re acting like a child, Ortensia. I told you I needed space, that I had business to settle, and you decide to freeze yourself to death? You're

  • Owned By The Devil Himself    97: Do You Really Love Me

    Vito was a shell of himself… a man haunted by a ghost he had created in a moment of weakness.He stepped through the doors of the mansion. He was hungry, the kind of hunger that gnawed at your stomach when your mind was too busy racing to remember the last time you ate.He bypassed the living areas and headed straight for the dining room.The table was set with the usual perfection. Silverware gleamed against the dark wood, and a spread of roasted meats and seasoned vegetables sat in the center. But the steam had long since vanished.The oils had congealed on the surface of the sauces, and the bread was starting to harden. It had been sitting there for a long time.Vito pulled out his chair, the screech of the wood against the floor sounding like a scream in the silent house. He sat down and piled a plate high, forced a few bites into his mouth, but they tasted like ash.He kept glancing at the door, expecting Ortensia to sweep in with that defiant tilt of her chin, demanding to know

  • Owned By The Devil Himself    96: Crying In The Bathroom

    The Next DayThe sprawling gardens of the estate, usually a place of relief, now felt suffocating. Vito stood near the marble fountain, the rhythmic splash of water doing nothing to drown out Eleonora’s voice in his head from last night. “I’m carrying your child.”He took a long drag of his cigar, the thick smoke swirling around a glass of neat bourbon held in his other hand. His eyes were bloodshot, his mind a jagged mess of consequences.If she was telling the truth, the fragile world he was building with Ortensia wasn't just under attack from outside… it was rotting from the inside.A soft crunch of gravel alerted him. He didn’t have to turn to know it was her. Ortensia’s presence always had a specific frequency, a warmth that usually calmed his jagged edges. Today, it only made his stomach churn with guilt."You’ve been out here for an hour, Vito," she said softly, stepping up beside him. She wrapped her arms around herself, her eyes searching his impenetrable profile."You barel

    “It’s okay,” Ortensia said softly, her voice breaking the tension. “I’m also sorry for what I said yesterday. I shouldn't have accused you of using me as bait. I know you would never endanger my life like that.”She reached out, her fingers grazing his sleeve. Vito looked down at her hand, his expression unreadable, before he stood up from the chair.“It’s okay, doll. I’m not mad at you,” he said.It was only then, as he stood up that Ortensia noticed his clothes. He wasn't wearing his lounging robe or the casual shorts he usually wore. He was dressed in a charcoal trouser, with a black shirt unbuttoned at the collar. He looked like he was dressed to go out.“Are you going somewhere?” she asked, a small pit of sadness forming in her stomach. After the chaos of the previous day, the thought of him leaving the mansion felt like a breach in her safety net.“I’m going clubbing with a few other gangs,” he replied, checking the gold watch on his wrist. “A neutral ground meeting for busines

    The morning light filtered through the arched windows of the estate, but for Ortensia, the brightness felt like an intrusion. Every muscle in her body ached, a physical manifestation of the trauma from the night before.Vito’s words… ungrateful whore, echoed in her mind louder than the sound of the birds outside. It wasn't just the verbal assault, it was the way he had asserted his dominance afterward, the punishmen of throat fucking her… forceful oral sex that left her feeling like a stranger in her own skin.She had spent the early hours of the day hiding in the sun-drenched library, the one place she hoped he wouldn't look. But the fortress was his, and his eyes were everywhere."Boss demands your presence, Miss Ortensia," one of his men said, bowing his head slightly as he stood in the doorway."Tell him I'm busy," she replied without looking up from a book she wasn't actually reading.Ten minutes later, another man appeared. "Don V is calling for you, Miss.""Tell him to keep cal

  • Owned By The Devil Himself    93: Aggressive Anger

    Vito’s pulse hammered against his neck, a rhythmic thud of pure, unadulterated rage. He had spent years building a fortress that was supposed to be untouchable, yet today, it had been breached. Worse, the woman he loved… the one person he had tried to keep out of the filth of his world had become a pawn.She was the center of a jagged chessboard where her ghost of a father and the serpent Ricardo were moving pieces he couldn't see.He reached his bedroom door and shoved it open, the heavy door thudding against the stopper. He didn't turn around as he heard the frantic click of Ortensia’s heels behind him."I want to be alone, doll," he growled, his voice vibrating with a warning he hoped she would heed.He stood by the window, staring out at the darkened grounds where his men were still sweeping the perimeter."No," Ortensia snapped, the door slamming shut behind her. "You are fucking out of your mind if you think I’m just going to sit in a corner while your enemies try to kill me."

    Ortensia couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Vito had run straight into the pool without even a glance at her, his arms pulling through the water as he reached Saskia. She watched stunned, as he pulled her up, her body dripping and gasping.Then he knelt beside her, pressing his mouth to hers in

    Vito walked back to the room and pushed the door open, expecting to find Ortensia where he had left her. The room was quiet, but something felt off. His eyes scanned quickly, taking in the bed, the floor, and every corner, yet she was nowhere to be seen. Confusion tightened in his chest. Where had

    Otensia blinked her eyes open and tried to sit upright. Before she could, Vito’s strong, firm hands gripped her and forced her back down. A small groan escaped her lips as pain shot through her legs, burning beneath her feet. Her toes curled on instinct, but even that small movement made it worse.

    Who wouldn’t know Saskia Venturi? Ortensia certainly did… which woman wouldn’t? Saskia was a fashion icon of Europe, the creative force and owner behind Venturi Casa. Every woman admired her, every magazine, every social event, and every runway whispered Saskia Venturi's name.Makeup, couture, perf
