ARMANDO

~•~

The whiskey on my desk was still full and I'd been sitting in the same chair for two hours doing nothing useful.

Matteo's chair was across the room. I hadn't moved it. I kept telling myself I would, that there was no point leaving it right there where I'd have to keep looking at it, but I hadn't moved it and I wasn't going to. The left armrest was worn down more than the right one, rubbed almost smooth. He always rested his elbow there when he was thinking something through.

  • Sold To The Mafia Boss   Chapter 91

    ELEANOR~•~The room I was locked in had a window that faced the compound and I'd been sitting at it since before the sun came up, watching the guards move through their rotations below.Matilda was still out there somewhere.That was the thing I kept coming back to. Everything else, Armando, Matteo, the poison, the basement, all of it was sitting right there at the edges of my mind, but Matilda was at the center. My little sister in some room I couldn't picture, with people I didn't know, and a body that was already fighting hard enough without adding fear on top of it.I pressed my forehead against the glass and closed my eyes, trying to hold on a little longer.A tray of food was on the floor near the door where the guard had left it an hour ago but I still hadn't touched it, not because I wasn't hungry. I was. My stomach had been making itself known since last night, but eating felt like the wrong thing to be doing right now.I looked at the tray for a long moment and then I got u

    ARMANDO~•~The whiskey on my desk was still full and I'd been sitting in the same chair for two hours doing nothing useful.Matteo's chair was across the room. I hadn't moved it. I kept telling myself I would, that there was no point leaving it right there where I'd have to keep looking at it, but I hadn't moved it and I wasn't going to. The left armrest was worn down more than the right one, rubbed almost smooth. He always rested his elbow there when he was thinking something through.I'd never noticed that before yesterday.I looked away and thought about what I actually needed to do, because sitting here staring at a chair wasn't going to fix anything.I needed outside help. I didn't like that, but it was just the truth. My inner circle was reduced, my streets were locked down, and Salvatore was still out there moving like a man who thought he'd already won. I needed men, and I needed someone sharp enough to coordinate from inside the mansion while I put together the response.I w

    ARMANDO~•~I sat alone in the study long after they dragged Eleanor out. The door had slammed shut minutes ago, maybe longer. I did not know. Time felt off. The whiskey glass sat in my hand, warm now from how long I had been holding it without drinking.I kept thinking the same thing over and over. Was I really doing this for her because Matteo would have wanted it? Or was it just me? My own stubborn will that did not want to let her go? I rubbed my face with one hand. The answer did not come easy. One thing I knew for sure though was that Salvatore was going to pay for trying to kill me.I set the glass down harder than I meant to then my hand moved to the phone on the desk before I could talk myself out of it. I picked it up and dialed his private number with my own blocked line. The kind of number he could not trace back easy. It rang a few times before he picked up."Who the fuck is this?" Salvatore's voice came through, rough and suspicious like always.I let the silence sit fo

    ELEANORThe cold had worked its way so deep into my bones that I barely felt the blanket anymore, and my wrists still hurt from the cuffs at the cemetery. I could still smell the wet earth on my skin.Armando’s voice kept playing in my head. I pressed my forehead against my knees and cried again, quiet this time, because I was too tired for anything louder.I didn’t know how long I sat like that before the footsteps came.The sudden light from the hallway made me squint and then the same guards that had dragged me out the first time came back again. I didn’t even try to stand on my own. They just grabbed my arms and pulled me up.“Where are you taking me this time?” My voice came out rough, like I hadn’t used it in days.They both didn’t answer, not like I even expected any answers from them in the first place.The air grew warmer as we climbed and soon enough, I perceived cigar smoke. My stomach twisted. I suddenly knew where we were going before we even reached the study door.They

    ELEANORThe drip from the pipe was the only thing that moved down here like a clock that only counted misery. I sat, curled against the wall with Luca’s blanket pulled tight around my shoulders, but it didn’t stop the cold from crawling into my bones. I whispered into the dark, “I’m sorry, Matteo. I’m so sorry,” until my voice gave out and I managed to sleep off from the tears.Once it was morning, two guards I didn’t know pushed the door open and the light from the hallway stabbed my eyes. They didn’t even bother speaking to me, instead they just grabbed my arms and pulled me up. “Where are you taking me?” I asked, voice small and hoarse.None of them answered but they both dragged me up the stairs, my bare feet scraping the stone. The air got warmer the higher we went, and the smell changed from damp rot to lemon polish and money.They shoved me into a small side room I’d never seen before. I saw a plain black dress sitting on a chair, it was almost the same style as the auction n

    ELEANORThe slam of the door still rang in my ears, loud and final, like Armando had shut away any hope I had left. I sat on the cold concrete floor, the chill seeping through my thin clothes and into my skin, making me shiver right away. The room was small and bare, with just one bulb hanging from the ceiling, its dim light throwing harsh shadows on the plain walls. Somewhere nearby, a pipe dripped water slowly, each drop adding to the heavy feeling in the air, like the place was alive with my own dread.My body hurt from how he had handled me. Bruises were already forming on my arm where his fingers had dug in, and my back throbbed from the several times I hit the floor while he dragged me here.I jumped to my feet and rushed to the door, banging on it with both my wrinkled fists. “Let me out! Please, Armando, let me out!” I yelled, my voice breaking as my hands with the pain from hitting the door.“Someone, help!” I cried, but no one came. The only answer was silence, a thick, moc

    ELEANOR When I woke up, everything was so dark that for a moment I thought I had gone blind. I could feel something pressing against my face, and that was when I realized that I had been blindfolded. My breathing quickened, panic rising as I tried to move my hands, but they wouldn’t budge. I tried m

    ELEANOR “What do you want from me?” I asked, staring Don Salvatore dead in the eye. My voice was steady, but I could feel the tension buzzing under my skin. “What was so important your men had to kill Enzo and drag me here?”He smiled—a slow, calculated thing that made my stomach churn. “Patience, my

    ELEANOR Stephan's boss remained standing at the top of the staircase a while longer as he seemed to carry the entire room’s attention on his shoulders. It was clear that he wasn’t just about to walk down the stairs, he was also about to make an entrance, ensuring everyone in the room knew exactly wh

  • Sold To The Mafia Boss   Chapter 58

    ELEANOR I stood there frozen with both my legs trembling beneath me. My knees were weak—barely holding me upright, my ankles throbbed from where the ropes had burned into my skin, and every slight shift of my weight sent sharp aches through them. The guard assigned to watch me loomed a little too cl
