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
The Alpha's Dhampirica [Mafia Games XII] 33 ◆ Some Bad Blood ◆
× 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
The Alpha's Dhampirica [Mafia Games XII] 36 ◆ Fairly Jilted ◆
◇ 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
The Alpha's Dhampirica [Mafia Games XII] 37 ◆ Bruised and Pained ◆
◇ KEL ◇ 5:59AM "Miles just told me. He said Leo beat you up but you won't go to the hospital." "Sto bene." [I'm fine.] I stared at the guy standing near the couch and avoiding my face. I frowned at his lie. When he didn't say anything else, I glanced around the dim guest room. Berto, his bodyguard, just stepped outside to give us privacy, which meant I could say whatever was on my mind. I had patched up Nicco hours ago, but when I'd heard about what happened to Enzo, my adrenaline just shot back up. The likelihood of seeing Leandro again didn't terrify me—what scared me way more was the possibility of Lorenzio sustaining some bone fractures, a concussion, or internal hemorrhage due to multiple physical injuries. His abrasions, grunts, reddish swollen nose and lips, slumped posture and frequent limping were e
The Alpha's Dhampirica [Mafia Games XII] 38 ◆ Web of Lies ◆
◆ MILES ◆Kill or be killed.Law of their world. Inevitable. The very minute I decided to work for the family business, I knew it was how my life was going to be. I just knew.It sounded dramatic to the point of ridicule. But it was the reality for a Falco. It was the price to pay for being part of an influential clan trying to make it big in the trade. No—my logic was not flawed, and it was not a matter of choice. Being my father's only heir, it was my fate to get tangled into this web of hateful, colossal mess.My father didn't seem the least bit bothered by it, though. Pappa put on his coat and kept talking to the bastard on the other line, his wireless black headset stuck in his ear.Was he leaving? Just like that?It hadn't even been four hours since Pappa arrived with my exhausted mother. So he just wasted the long trip to get
The Alpha's Dhampirica [Mafia Games XII] 39 ◆ Some Competition ◆
◆ MILES ◆"Is the show over?""Of course not.""Why not?" I watched Ricchar sit by the paved stairs facing the old, wide garden. The place came with the six-foot high labyrinth and three-storey mansion Ricchar inherited from his deceased father, Valerius Falco."Barely the finale." Ricchar scoffed and dropped his phone onto the grass-covered ground, seeming pissed after he faked being the psycho's friend. The nutjob just left the estate with my father and their entourage.I glanced around the tall bushes and noticed there were more lamps around the stairs. "Cloe put up all these lights?""You know she hates being in the dark." Ricchar gazed at the quiet and dim maze. "Every sense of the word.""When's she coming back?" I sat next to my cousin, who more or less had been an older brother to me all my life.
