~~Sofia~~

Dinner with his father had been a stressful affair.

The tension in the room is so thick, you could cut it with a knife. His brothers were worried about his father's health and how the news of escaping the family would make him fare.

Donato, as usual, had been staunch, a frown on his face that only lifted when the food had arrived and he'd said the grace. Then he'd proceeded to take only a taste of it and asked to be taken to his study, where Rafael had soo

  • RUINED BY MY BROTHER'S MAFIA BESTFRIEND   The Shower

    ~~SERAPHINA~~Massimo's eyes are soft on mine when he takes me back to his room and drags me into the bathroom, where he proceeds to undress me one article of clothing at a time.It's heady, his attention. I feel his gaze on me, and his eyes never leave mine as he pulls my shirt up and over my head, nudges my pants down over the sides of my hips, and then kneels in front of me to take my shoes off one at a time. It's enough to make a lump rise in my throat, one that has absolutely nothing to do with the justice I just delivered to Dante.One might think I would feel stressed or regretful about the fact that Dante lost his life because of me. That Massimo looked at a man who had been closer than a brother to him for so many years and was able to pull the trigger to take his life with barely a blink.But I don't. Dante made his choices. I was a relatively innocent party in this scenario, and he went out of his way to make me the enemy. I don't know what things were like in the family be

  • RUINED BY MY BROTHER'S MAFIA BESTFRIEND   Sweet Revenge

    ~~MASSIMO~~It takes a few days for Seraphina to fully recover from the entire ordeal, and I watch her carefully as the hours and days pass to make sure that she's not falling into a panic or regressing at all.The thing about Seraphina is that she's so unbelievably strong, and she knows it. She tolerates my fussing for about a day and a half before she finally sets me straight, telling me that she's not some wilting flower and that she's not going to suddenly break just because she went through a shitty experience.She puts me in my place gently but with a glint in her eye that tells me she will absolutely suffer no fools when it comes to this.The fact that she's holding Luca, who is smiling and giggling at me while she's having this conversation, undermines some of her intent, but not enough to stop me from pressing the issue.Of course, while she is recovering, sleeping, and ensuring that our son knows she's around and not going anywhere, I'm working in the background to deal with

  • RUINED BY MY BROTHER'S MAFIA BESTFRIEND   Confessions

    ~~SERAPHINA~~ "Massimo?" His name falls from my lips, and then, before I can consider the wisdom of moving or saying anything else while we're still at the police station, I stand and fairly launch myself into his arms. He catches me, wrapping his arms tightly around me, and for the first time since I left the house with Dante this morning, I let my guard down a little. Humiliatingly, tears immediately prick at the corners of my eyes. "Fuck, baby. There you are." Massimo tightens his embrace, burying his face in my hair as my breath catches, and I fight against breaking down in front of him. We're still in an interrogation room, for fuck's sake. There will be time for an emotional meltdown later—theoretically. "Um… yeah." I pull away and wipe the back of my hand across my cheek, catching a stray tear that managed to escape despite my best efforts. "And… I mean. Not that I'm not glad to see you. Really fucking glad," I add when he looks at me with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

  • RUINED BY MY BROTHER'S MAFIA BESTFRIEND   Leverage

    ~~MASSIMO~~Gio drives me across town toward the police station where Seraphina is being held, allowing me to simmer in my fury and start plotting and planning.Gio is getting a promotion, effective immediately. He has come clean about the entire conversation he overheard Dante having with some scumbag police officer before he took Seraphina to God-knew-where.Gio does not know exactly what it was that Dante was framing her for, only that there were allegedly going to be bodies, enemies would be taken out, and the trash would be dealt with so that things could "go back to the way they had been before."The details of the conversation that Gio revealed tell me that my best friend has cracked. Even if he hasn't taken the love of my life to be framed for some unknown crime, he's still out. I need people in my corner with good heads on their shoulders, and Dante's entire harebrained scheme proves that he is no longer that person."It's going

  • RUINED BY MY BROTHER'S MAFIA BESTFRIEND   Interrogation

    ~~SERAPHINA~~The interrogation room that the cops put me in is cold and bleak and doesn't have a clock for me to track the time, so I have no idea how long I have been sitting there, waiting for someone to come and talk to me.I face the two-way mirror, and my reflection looking back at me is a wake-up call. I look scared and pale, and every time I try to unfold my arms from where they are crossed over my chest, my hands shake so badly that I can't even take a sip of the water they brought me in a plastic bottle. It sloshes over the rim so violently when I try that I give up altogether and decide to sit and wait for one of the cops to come back.They tried to get me to speak when they cuffed me after raiding the warehouse, but I was too terrified and numb. I could tell it frustrated them, especially the cop who hauled me out to the car waiting outside. He was a tall, beefy guy with enormous muscles and a crew cut, and when he shoved me into the interrogat

Be ready."I scrunch my face up and turn from the mirror I've been staring into blindly for the last few minutes.It sounded like a command, and it was. Rafael calls, and I go.
