Promised to The Don Chapter Thirteen
Lorenzo POV I should have known better. I really fucking should.The moment I agreed to let Riley “manage the estate,” I should have anticipated consequences. I have negotiated with smugglers, liars, and men who thought they were smarter than me. None of them have ever caused me as much disruption as that woman has in less than forty eight hours.I sit in my office, attempting to review quarterly reports, but the numbers are not the problem.The noise is.At first it is faint. A dull tapping somewhere in the distance. I ignore it. Houses as old as this one require maintenance. Pipes burst. Wood settles. Life continues.Then the tapping becomes drilling. It’s annoying but I take a deep breath.I set my pen down.The sound stops. Silence returns.Fucking great.I pick the pen back up.A second later something heavy scrapes across the floor above me, followed by a loud bang that reverberates through the ceiling.I close my eyes.Patience is a virtue. Anger is wasted energy

Riley POVI don’t know how it happens. One moment the stupid bastard has his slimy hand on my hip, the next my back hits a firm chest. His chest.“Leave us.” His voice is low and soft, but the command is unmistakable. The woman who had been touching him all night shuffles away, and all of a sudden it is just the two of us. I can’t see him, but I can smell his scent. Expensive cologne, alcohol, and something I can’t place. It smells like him.I feel his mouth brush my earlobe and I stiffen. He inhales deeply.“What perfume is this?” he asks, but I know his eyes are not on me. They are fixed on the man opposite him.My words catch in my throat. “It’s body wash.”My breaths are too deep, yet I can’t seem to get enough air into my lungs to quench the fire this man has lit in me. I hate myself for how my body is reacting, especially when he places his hand on my waist. It slides slowly upward until his thumb brushes the underside of my breast.I should not be doing this. It isn’t right. I

Lorenzo POVIt’s been a few days since I have seen Matteo. Ever since I told him to keep his girl under control, he has been avoiding me. My men say he has made friends with some low-life drug dealers we hire. I don’t fucking care, as long as he learns how everything works.So imagine my surprise when I see my son and said girl in one of my strip clubs. Personally, I don’t like clubs. They’re loud and annoying, but they are great for business.They get into a bathroom, and moments later Matteo gets out, fuming, and storms off. I am generally not one for drama, but I am genuinely curious, especially when Riley gets out and looks like she just had a mental breakdown.She walks towards me, so of course I pretend I don’t see her, but for some reason I am oddly excited. Maybe it’s because she is a spitfire and I like it when she challenges me, just begging me to tame her. But I can’t do that. She is Matteo’s girlfriend and my bargaining chip.When she sees me, all the colour drains from he
Promised to The Don Chapter Ten
Riley POVThe hardest part isn’t lying. It’s the timing, everything has to be just right.By the fourth night, I have it down to a science. I wait until the house settles and the footsteps in the courtyard thin out that’s how I know the guards are switching shifts its always after every two hours.I make a big show of yawning, stretching, complaining about how tired I am. I let Giana tease me about being boring. I even say goodnight out loud. Of course she knows where I am going but she doesn’t say anything.Then I wait until around one. My shift starts at two and ends at four. I listen for doors. Sneaking out is so thrilling, I haven’t done that before, my mom never cared about what I did or where I was and once she left there was no one to police me.My uniform is hidden inside my bag, folded so neatly it almost feels like an insult to what I’m about to do. Black shorts. A fitted shirt with the club’s logo stitched discreetly on the breast. Comfortable shoes. Hair ties. Lip gloss I
Promised to The Don Chapter Nine
Riley POVYou would think that as my boyfriend, Matteo would at least take my side when his father accused me of tarnishing his prize. But no.“What were you thinking?” Matteo hisses at me. I have just made sure Giana is in bed and I am bone tired. But Matteo refuses to let me sleep. I try one more time.“I know I fucked up, but can you please yell at me tomorrow.”This seems to make him angrier. He moves closer to me and furiously shakes his head. I move back until my back hits the wall.“I have been working my ass off to make sure you are okay, that he doesn’t hurt you. Then what?”He leans closer, his breath fanning my cheek. I wince. Something is different about him and I don’t like it.He continues, obviously unbothered by my discomfort.“My dad called me and told me to keep you on a leash or he will do it for me.”A leash, like I am some sort of mangy mutt. I will not take that insult.“I am not your dog, nor am I a piece of property,” I shout at him. For the second time, I cry.
Promised to The Don Chapter Eight
Riley POVIt’s around nine and there is a long line to get into the club. Some of the perks of being part of the mafia is that Giana and I walk past all those people in the line until we reach the beginning.“Hey you bitches, stand in line like everyone else!” some random dude who had probably been waiting for quite a while shouts. But then our two guards pull up. At this point I am feeling like a queen. I could get used to it. The bouncers at the door just nod at Giana and let us in.Before the music muffles the outside sounds, I hear an escalating conflict and someone who definitely talked to us rudely is punched. I smile. I don’t know why I like this feeling.The smell of sweaty bodies clings to the air. I pull Giana to the middle of the dance floor and we dance. She is stiff, but I know that after two or three drinks she will be fine. I don’t know why, but I feel a sting at the back of my head and for some weird reason I look up.There, standing near the rail of what I assume is t
