RUINED BY MY BROTHER'S MAFIA BESTFRIEND Blood Oath
~~MASSIMO~~It takes everything inside me to keep my composure after I leave Seraphina's apartment. My mind whirs, and the rage that fills me nearly blinds me as I get in my car and start driving.I'd thought that Seraphina was a slut, that she'd gone out and slept around with anyone who'd given her the time of day until she got pregnant. With every fiber of my being, I'd believed that was how that tiny baby with my eyes had come to be.But Seraphina had revealed herself to me, and I wasn't even sure if she knew how or why she'd done so.It hasn't been easy, and you weren't there for any of it.Why would she care that I hadn't been there? If she'd been sleeping around, if that baby was hers and hers alone, why would it matter that she'd disappeared, and I hadn't been there?There had been a colossal shift in how I saw the entire situation in that moment, and it took everything inside me to walk away from her when she told me to l

~~SERAPHINA~~For a long moment, I can't bring myself to say anything. Massimo's eyes burn into me, flicking from my face to Luca and then back again, and the shock and disbelief that initially overtook his handsome features are quickly swallowed by anger as he glares at me."I won't repeat myself, Seraphina," he bites out. "What the actual fuck is going on here? I thought..."The hint of vulnerability on his face tells me exactly what he thought, and for a moment, guilt floods me.I was already feeling so shitty before he even showed up. I came home and walked into the house, and the first thing I heard was Luca fussing in the bedroom. I couldn't see my mother anywhere. I found her collapsed on top of my bed, and Luca's tiny little arms and legs were waving in the air in the bassinet next to her, his face red and scrunched up, telling me that he had been upset and trying to get attention for a while.It infuriated me, but even when I shook my mother's shoulder and tried to get her to

~~MASSIMO~~Seraphina, despite being clearly scared, out of sorts, and on the wrong foot, did an incredible job cleaning up the mess I'd created in a moment of impulsiveness.But I see her glancing around every time I check in on her, and the urge to run away and never come back is written all over her pretty features. She's far from subtle, my girl, and it takes everything inside me not to cross the room and kiss the life out of her so she knows that she's not alone and never fucking will be again.My strong feelings—anger and affection in turn—quickly morph into something resembling guilt, and by the time Seraphina packs up and heads out of the house for the night without saying another word, I know that I owe her.Not an apology. Never that. But maybe some semblance of acknowledgment for what she just did for me and the family.I grab my keys and follow her out of the house, walking silently so she doesn't hear me. She catches a rideshare in front of the house, and I slip into my c
RUINED BY MY BROTHER'S MAFIA BESTFRIEND Blood on Her Hands
~~SERAPHINA~~I swallow hard, and for a moment, the only thing I want to do is turn on my heel and run. The eyes of every man in the room feel heavy as they look at me, and Massimo's gaze is the heaviest of them all.God, what have I gotten myself into? I'd come here ready to hand in my resignation to Massimo and remove myself from the entire situation. If I was being honest, I was surprised that he hadn't taken the choice away from me after the line in the sand I had drawn earlier. I'd fully expected him to throw me out on my ass and force me to figure out a whole new arrangement for money without this job.When he didn't... well, I went on a bit. I couldn't stop thinking about the way he had looked at me, the hurt in his eyes, the way he seemed to want to say something before I had walked away...It tugged at my heartstrings far more than I wanted it to, and I decided then and there that staying here was not a healthy situation for me. I couldn'
RUINED BY MY BROTHER'S MAFIA BESTFRIEND Cracks in the Armor
~~MASSIMO~~I wander around the house for the rest of the day in a daze after the confrontation between Seraphina and me. It's not fantastic, especially working in an industry that requires nothing less than full focus, but I can't help it.Every time I think I have my mind straightened out enough to concentrate on whatever I'm doing, Seraphina's face—firm and cold as she put me in my place and clearly erected a psychological barrier between us—swims to the front of my mind, and my focus is shot all over again.She said that we were nothing. That everything going on between us was nothing.It shouldn't have bothered me. From the outside looking in, she was absolutely right. She was just a girl I'd hired, eighteen months after she ghosted me following a one-night stand. There were plenty of other girls who had ghosted me after we'd slept together, and I hadn't thought about them as long or as hard as I thought about Seraphina on a daily basis.
RUINED BY MY BROTHER'S MAFIA BESTFRIEND Lines in the Sand
~~SERAPHINA~~The rest of the day after my encounter with Massimo in the kitchen is a blur, and I'm the first to admit that my work ethic and focus are entirely shot.The only thing I could think about was the way his lips felt on mine, how his fingers were so perfectly positioned between my legs, and the pleasure he'd given me with his tongue. It was a massive distraction, and more than once, I considered quietly slipping away and never coming back.But my pride was too strong for me to ignore, so I went home that night and spent time with Luca, cuddling him close while my mind whirred.Waking up today, though, I am determined not to let Massimo get to me.The drive over to the house after I kiss Luca goodbye goes faster than I want it to, and walking in through the foyer immediately makes me feel like all eyes are on me. My maid uniform is perfectly cleaned and pressed again, and it takes everything inside me to ignore the lascivious looks from Massimo's men as I make my way to the
