On the fifth day Nikolai told me I could use the rooftop.
"One hour. Musa stays on the door." He did not wait for me to respond.
I went straight up. One camera above the door, one guard, no second exit. I noted it all and then sat down and let the sun hit my face and tried not to think about anything for a few minutes.
It lasted about ten before Ivan came through the door with two mugs.

THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION Forced
Nikolai's PovI had fought Ivan once, years ago, in a sparring session that had gone too far between two brothers testing exactly how much each could take. I had never imagined I would one day be fighting Ace with the same controlled brutality.His fists drove at me with a precision that had none of his usual instinct in it. Only mechanical execution of something programmed beneath his skin."Ace. Stop."He did not stop. His eyes were flat. Distant. The person I loved was trapped somewhere behind a face that kept moving toward me with lethal intent."Ivan, get back. I have him.""You do not have him." Ivan circled wide. His jaw was already swollen from the first hit. "Nobody has him right now."Ace came at me again, faster than before. I caught his wrist before the strike landed. I twisted hard enough that anyone else
THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION Resistance
Ivan's PovThe screen went dark. Ace's body seemed to lock in place. Caught between whatever instruction had been embedded and the will fighting against it from somewhere underneath."Ace." Nikolai's voice was quiet. "Look at me. Just me."Ace's eyes found Nikolai's face. For a long moment it seemed like the worst of it had passed. His shoulders dropped slightly. His breathing slowed.Then his expression went flat again. All at once. Like a switch had been thrown somewhere deep inside him."Ace."He turned toward me. The punch landed before I had time to brace for it. His fist connected with my jaw hard enough to send me backward into the wall. The impact drove the breath from my lungs, the room tilted. I forced myself back upright."Ace, stop." Nikolai moved to intercept him.Ace turned on
THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION Unreal
Ace's PovThe walls had started breathing somewhere around the third hour. A slow expansion and contraction. I knew it was not real, i could not stop watching anyway."Nikolai. The walls.""I see them too." His voice came from somewhere close. His hand was steady against my arm. Steady felt like the wrong word for something that kept dissolving at the edges every time I tried to focus on it."You do not see them. You are lying to make me feel less insane.""I am not lying." Ivan spoke from my other side. "I am telling you they are not breathing. Your eyes are telling you something, your brain has decided to believe it."Rem had arrived forty minutes ago. His equipment was spread across the small table in whatever room we had retreated to. His face carried the specific tightness of someone working against a clock he did not fully understand.
THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION Shattered
Nikolai's PovI crossed the room before the syringe was even fully empty. My hands closed around her wrist. The damage was already done by the time I forced her away from him.Ace stumbled backward. His hand went to his neck. His face shifted into something pale and unfocused that had not been there a second ago."What did you give him." My voice came out as something close to a roar."Something new." She was completely unbothered. She stepped back toward her chair. "Untested on humans, technically. I had it prepared as a contingency. In case the antidote conversation went exactly the way it just went.""You poisoned him again." Ivan had moved to Ace's other side. Both of us held him upright as his legs began to fail."I did not poison him. This is something different. I genuinely do not know what it will do to him. That is precisely what makes
THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION The Test
Ace's PovI stayed kneeling because standing too quickly would have broken whatever fragile cover I had managed to build in the six hours since I arrived."Let me explain." I faced Nikolai. "Before either of you reacts to what you are seeing.""Explain it standing up."I stood slowly. Her hand slid off my head as I rose. The room held its breath, all four of us in some configuration of tension that had no easy resolution."I am not betraying you. I needed her to believe I was. Long enough to get the antidote, long enough to learn what she actually wants."She laughed quietly from her chair. "He is good. I will give him that. He has been performing loyalty to me for six hours. His conviction almost fooled me as well.""Almost.""Almost." She nodded. "Which is why we are at this particular moment instead o
THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION Too Late Ivan's Pov
Ivan's PovI came back to consciousness in a holding cell. I had no memory of how I had gotten there. My face throbbed where someone had clearly worked it over while I was unconscious. The first coherent thought I had was that I needed to find Nikolai. Whoever had taken me might decide I had outlived my usefulness.The cell door was not as secure as whoever built it had intended. I had it open within twenty minutes. I used nothing but the frame's weak hinge point. The same trick I had used to free Nikolai from a different room months ago.I moved through the building fast. I took down the two guards I encountered. I did not give either of them time to raise an alarm. I made it to the surface before anyone realized I was already gone.Rem answered on the first ring when I called from a stolen phone."Ivan." Rem's voice had gone sharp with relief. "Where are you.""I do not know the exact address. I need extraction. I need it fast.""Nikolai is awake. He has been frantic since he found
THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION Mother
Nikolai's PovThe imposter was handled in four minutes. Rem identified the substitution point from exterior camera footage. We had the person secured in the lower level within the hour. The questioning was efficient. It yielded immediate results.
THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION Verdict
Nikolai's PovThere was silence for a while. I finally spoke up."A verdict. You are both looking at me like you have already decided something and you are waiting for me to confirm it. Like the pattern of solo meetings has already been judg
THE MAFIA'S BLOODY POSSESSION THE DEADLY TWINS
Ace's povI was shaking so badly my teeth rattled. In my mad dash to submit my assignment, I had forgotten my phone back at the bar.The assignment…I was still holding it, clutched in my hands so tight my fingers had actually broken through the first page.It didn't matter anymore. Since I was s
