I received the call in the afternoon. Mother's voice had been thin and clogged with tears. She'd asked if I'd been alone, and then she'd whispered the words I'd half been expecting. "Your father's dead. He's finally gone."I'd gone cold, tightening and drawing into myself. I'd called the airport, had the plane prepared for a flight back, and grateful Sofia had gone out on the town with Nico, I'd driven to the airport alone.It was evening now, the air sti

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
RUINED BY MY BROTHER'S MAFIA BESTFRIEND The Taste of You
~~MASSIMO~~I'm not going to sleep with her again.I tell myself that, over and over, even while I'm hefting that little maid up onto the sink and letting those long, bare legs wrap around me.She's only been here three days. Get a grip.I do get a grip. A nice, solid handful of her perky ass as I settle her on the wet counter. The layers of her skirt slide up, and I drag my hand up under it, finding her panties, trying to prove her wrong. To show her that she can't fool me like that.She has my name on a collar that I put around her neck. She hasn't taken it off yet. She isn't sulking; she isn't that angry about it. She's barely said a word of protest. Why not? She's never shied away from speaking her mind before. It's questions like that that drive me just one degree past insane for this girl.She might have to wear what I tell her, but I never said she had to be happy about it. It leaves me with a suspicion, or maybe it's more of a hope: she's into it.I slide my hand up, looking f
RUINED BY MY BROTHER'S MAFIA BESTFRIEND The Lion's Den
~~SERAPHINA~~ Every time I get the mail, it comes with its own mini-anxiety attack. The nagging fear of what bills are going to sneak up on us today? I leaf through the white envelopes like any one of them could contain anthrax, but they're mostly junk. Sweet, innocent junk. I almost drop the stack as I slide the last piece of mail to the forefront. Top Secret screams across the front in big red letters. I recognize the return address before I register the joke: Rosalia's apartment. I grin to myself. I should have known. Only a theater kid would send mail instead of a text. For the bit. Inside, I unfold a printed web page of an online hiring ad looking for a personal cleaning service. A message is jotted in pen at the bottom: Got you an interview—Monday, 3 p.m. I scan the page. It's a big house in a nice neighborhood, and they want a full-time maid service with daily cleaning. Most clients hire me for one day out of the week. I pick up their kid's toys, clean the dishes, and hit
RUINED BY MY BROTHER'S MAFIA BESTFRIEND Pieces on the Board
~~SERAPHINA~~One Year Later"I really wish you'd come visit," Rosalia says, her voice distorted as I hug the phone to my ear with my shoulder. "My apartment, I mean. Not work. Obviously. Rinaldi asked about you again, by the way."I almost drop my phone into the bucket of dirty water at my feet."Oh," I say, sounding more composed than I feel. "What did you tell him?""What I always tell him. That I don't see you as much as I want to and that I miss you. You know—the truth. He wanted details, but you know I dodge questions like an NBA shooting guard.""Appreciate that.""I'm serious, though. You should come visit. Stay for a little while. Just me. No one will care.""Dad will.""Okay, no one will know, and therefore no one will care—"I push the water around at my feet with no conviction, watching the mop strands slide across the travertine. Water wrings out noisily into the pail."We shouldn't even be on the phone, Rosalia.""I have to check in on you! I mean, at this point, it does
RUINED BY MY BROTHER'S MAFIA BESTFRIEND The Weight of Her
~~MASSIMO~~"Did you take her home?"Dr. Lambert studies me from over her wire-frame glasses. I always like that sensation, the feeling of being dissected by an unseen scalpel, wondering what rot or cancer she's peering at that I can't detect. I go to my therapist the way some people go to the movies, I go to the opera the way other people go to their therapist.For me, psychiatry is more of a hobby than treatment. I think it pissed the good doctor off a bit when she finally worked out that I was using her the same way most people use a Netflix subscription. But she didn't fire me as a client. Her loss. So here we sit, almost knee to knee in the quiet of her office."I did."My thoughts drift back to Seraphina Conti. Or they would if they ever really drifted away from her. For a week, the girl has been chewing at my gray matter. Like an infection. If Dr. Lambert were any sort of useful doctor, maybe she could cut that infection out."And it went well," she infers.My jaw twitches."I
