"Così avrà l'immunità davanti alla legge."[So he will have legal immunity.]
"Sono abbastanza certo che sia impossibile, Lorenzio."[I’m pretty sure it’s impossible, Lorenzio.]
I squinted at the guy sitting in front of us, doubting his words, my patience thinning out. Besides the mother of all bitching headaches ending my long day on a shitty note, now I had to put up with an intruder that threatened to make my day even shittier.
What he brought with him also posed a threat to my dwindling peace of mind and my plan of having at least six hours of sleep tonight. With Mykaela beside me. As I stayed put beside Ricchar, his full attention centered on the guy sitting in front of his desk and rocking restlessly in the chair opposite mine. Our prolonged siRelated chapters

◇ KEL ◇ Enzo's here. In the estate. Coincidence? Perhaps. There should be a significant reason behind Enzo driving all the way out here tonight. Miles didn't specify why. He just said Enzo had "some family issues" to sort out. Hence the guy hanging out alone in Ricchar's patio at this hour, drinking himself to oblivion. Not a pretty sight. And not the first time I'd seen him enjoying a bottle of strong wine all by himself. I'd figured a while ago that he only drank this much whenever he was under extreme pressure and stress. Cold, hugging myself and ready to confront the guy, I stepped out of the mansion through the sliding door. The noise startled him. Enzo fidgeted in his seat, and then sat up straight before I could get near. He cleared his throat after glancing at me, then quickly combed his wavy hair away from his face. "Hi." Hi? After ignoring all my texts, calls, and emails, that's all he's got to say? Something in me felt weird, knowing he wasn't even going to give me a h

◇ KEL ◇Fine. I gave up. If he didn't want to talk to me anymore, so be it. No more questions. No more begging.It's crystal clear Enzo would rather go to bed than spend another minute with me. Disappointed and at a loss, I retreated to the windy patio where Miles sat quietly.He settled in one of the chairs under the dim and yellowish lamplight. A meaningful smirk slanted his cute lips, and his squinting eyes told me he caught the awkward tension before Enzo walked out on me.A quick "catch up with you later" was Enzo's last words before dashing out of our sight. Allergic much? He didn't even bother to glance at me one last time before he shut the sliding door behind him.Well, at least he had the common sense to stay the night. Driving back to Florence would take him hours. Four if his driver wasn't careful
The Alpha's Dhampirica [Mafia Games XII] 31 ◆ Blackmailed By The Boss ◆
◇ KEL ◇ The scream we heard sounded a lot like it was Mrs. Falco. Did someone harm Miles' mother? The ominous thought formed goosebumps onto my arms. The hairs on my nape probably stood up now. It seemed impossible that someone would dare hurt her. Like Mr. Falco, she had bodyguards tailing her everyday. Gun-carrying security staff surrounded the estate day in day out. Who in their right mind would dare touch the Falcos in their own territory? As my brain tried to come up with a couple of flimsy guesses, Mr. Falco directed his steadfast gaze at his nephew and only son. "Charr, Maxim, cortile sul retro. Va' a dare un'occhiata." His lowered voice sounded imperative again. [Charr, Maxim, backyard. Go take a look.] "Pappa—" "Faccia come le dico!" Mr. Falco shouted and glared at Miles. The boss kept hi

◇ KEL ◇"What do you want me to do?""Talk to him. Ask him what he wants."I narrowed my eyes at the phone near my face. It was mine, the new one Miles gave me weeks ago. The second "secure" phone he gave me. It was a tracker, basically. He didn't need to tell me so.Mr. Falco took the phone from me earlier while his men tortured Niccolo with sucker punches and some kicks to his legs. So far, Nicco remained conscious beside me, weak but looking stable enough.The smell of his sweat had mixed with the scent of blood that trickled from his nose down to this chest. I helped him stop the bleeding earlier while Mr. Falco watched and kept himself busy in the corner with his own phone. Hopefully Nicco wouldn't pass out from severe dehydration or from his injuries."Talk to him?" I asked when I took the pho

× WARNING × Content below intended for mature readers. × ◆ MILES ◆ Shoot the bastard? Watch the guy murder his own brother? Or shoot the bastard after watching him murder his own brother? As I weighed the pros and cons, my mother paced behind me, barely containing her panic. Not her fault. We all came here to spend time with family, not watch this display of unrestrained violence right in the middle of my cousin's pristine dining room. Where in the flying fuck's Ricchar? Leandro, the last person we expected to show up here in the estate, threw another couple of punches at his victim. This drug-dealing psycho just didn't give a shit. Everything looked so out of place. The stream of profanities. Loud grunts of palpable fury. Cries of terror and pain. Stoic, tense-jawed armed guards surrounding the scene... Were they enjoying it? The fuck's wrong with these people? I gripped the gun but stayed put. My best guess: Lorenzio was catching up with Mamma here in the dining room, cluel

× WARNING! ×× GRAPHIC CONTENT BELOW NOT INTENDED FOR YOUNG READERS ×◇ KEL ◇It should be all over now. This eventful night dragged on long enough. My tolerance for all this mafia bullcrap was running out. Pretty much stretched to its limits.Pure exhaustion consumed me, depleting what's left of my energy, thinning out the little patience I had left. "Just please let this long, stressful night be over..." I repeatedly prayed in my head the past hour.As I sat on the bed alone, the lights stayed off and the room remained quiet and tense. Or it could just be me and my dear friend Anxiety again. Where the heck's Miles? Alessio pretty much dragged me back into this guest room after Mr. Falco left us in that cold basement. I already made sure Niccolo wasn't in serious trouble after the torture h

× WARNING! × GRAPHIC CONTENT BELOW NOT INTENDED FOR YOUNG READERS ×◇ KEL ◇His hair was tied in a tight bun this time, not hiding any part of his face, making it easier for me to look him in the eye while admiring his features. Quiet seconds passed as I stared at him. He smiled faintly at me under the soft lighting that kept the room from being pitch-dark. A lustful look stayed in his beautiful hazel eyes while he gripped my wrist. For a breathtaking moment, I thought he was gonna bite my skin and cut me with his bare teeth to suck blood from my wrist. The surprise near made me smile when he gripped my hips to lift me off his lap.He pinned me on the thick covers without breaking eye contact. Now I could only feel his warmth and weight on me. His hands clasped mine on the pillows, and his hot mouth licked the side of

◇ KEL ◇ Seeing Miles holding a gun would never be something I would find amusing or comforting. Once, he showed off his special skill besides painting masterpieces I always admired. That time he took me to a shooting range for fun, I discovered he had a predilection for handling guns—but not for a second did I think he would be this comfortable carrying a deadly weapon. My nerves acted up again the second I saw him gripping the handgun with such familiarity. It seemed he didn't want to put it away despite the armed bodyguards surrounding the mansion day in day out. Ricchar and Cloe's well-guarded home didn't give Miles enough security, I supposed. With a sigh, I just watched him as he sat on the covers, his back facing me. We slept in the same bed for barely four hours. While I wished he would get rid of the gun and get some more sleep, nevertheless I
