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 th

  • Owned By The Devil Himself    122: Ways Of The Mafia

    ORTENSIA Dr. Alex was the very last person I ever expected to see standing inside Valentino Strucker's heavily guarded private mansion. I took a step backward, my eyes wide with a volatile mixture of shock and betrayal as the weight of her presence sank into my mind. The world felt like it was spinning out of control. The woman who had been monitoring my health, the doctor who held Vito’s life in her hands, was standing here looking entirely at home in a syndicate fortress."You betrayed Vito," I whispered, my voice cracking under the immense pressure of the revelation. I clutched my aching arm tightly against my chest, staring at her as if she were a ghost."You were his doctor. He trusted you with his secrets, with his wounds, and with his life. You sold him out to his enemies."She didn't flinch at my accusation, nor did she look even remotely ashamed of what she had done. She simply nodded once, a calm, unbothered expression settling over her face as she placed her medical clip

    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

    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

    “Play Space?”I don’t know if I was liking the way this conversation was going honestly, my body was already tensed, I could feel my breathing getting fast, I was suddenly feeling the heat.“Yes Doll, Play Space. Other than guns and rivals, I have other interesting space in my life, and in here you

    ORTENSIA I didn’t look back when I had the chance to escape. I didn’t hesitate. The moment was short, a small window that could close any second, and I had to take it. Only the driver, an older man with a cold look, and Enzo, Vito’s burly, tough-looking guard, were with me. That made it easier.

    VITO“I don’t like repeating myself,” I warned, but she stood frozen. I took a step toward her, but a knock on the door interrupted me. “Don V, I need a minute with you,” Enzo’s voice came from outside. I exhaled sharply. “Okay.” Ortensia let out a quiet sigh of relief, but I wasn’t going to

    VITO “Wait… a kiss?”She looked shocked, her lips parting slightly, but I didn’t stop. I moved in closer, my breath ghosting over hers, watching the way her chest rose and fell in uneven pants.Just as my lips were about to claim hers, my phone rang.I clenched my jaw, muttering under my breath, “
