ELARA POV

I short-circuit for a long, painstaking moment. This is definitely not the reaction I was expecting.

“Wait... you aren't mad?” My voice is barely above a whisper.

“No,” he says, his minty breath grazing my face. “It was cute. Brave.”

I stare at him for a static moment before blinking away. The relief that crashes on me is a massive that my back slumps against the wall.

I blink away, staring at the contrasting polished shoes and my emerald fluffy slippers. “I need a moment to think about this.”

A wheeze escapes his lips and vibrates through me. “What were you expecting me to do to you?”

“Cut off my head, shoot me in the head, bury me alive.” I realize now what an exaggeration my thoughts were.

“Jesus, I’m not that cruel,” he says, a smile in his voice.

“You are,” I counter. He’s literally a don and an unsettlingly feeling tingle at how Nero’ persona don’t bug me anymore.

His thumb rubs along my jaw gently. “Not to you. Never to you.”

Butterflies flutter in my stomach as warmt

    ELARA POVThe moment I hear this, my heart drops into my stomach so hard the pain reverberates through my ribs, and I feel the blood drain from my face. I jump to my feet, racing out of the dining room like my heels are on fire.I pace down the hallway so fast I can hear the rapid slap of my slippers on the marble floor, right until I slam the bedroom door shut behind me. I slump against the wood before sliding down to the floor.He will kill me. No, he will do worse things than kill me. He won’t want to hear what I have to say like everyone else. Even if he believes that I didn’t send the picture at the last minute, he will still punish me for daring to try to rat him out to the Feds.A sense of relief settles in knowing that he didn’t spend more than a day in jail, but a cold dread tightens around my lower abdomen. I’m heaving, and the thud of my heart echoes in my ears like a frantic fire alarm. Over the consequences of my action.Oh my god. Oh my god.The door suddenly opens and I

    Elara Pov“I swear I didn’t…” I stammer, my voice shaking. “I don’t know—”He shoves me before I can finish, sending me crashing to the floor. Pain radiates up my arm as my elbow strikes the hardwood.He stalks toward me just as Luca cracks his neck to the side. “If you know what’s good for you, you’d better start confessing, whore.”Tears are streaming down my face in heavy drops. “Believe me I didn’t” “I forgot torture is the only language you understand.” Marco’s voice drips with sickening glee. His gaze drags over my body, heavy and possessive, leaving a trail of phantom slime that makes bile rise in my throat.My body trembles, terror sticking to my skin. I’m scared to know what punishment means to him.“You’ll confess before I’m even done with you.” He crouches to my level and I scramble back, desperate to protect myself, but he grabs my collar and drags me toward him. A yelp escapes my lips when his hands fist in the fabric, trying to rip it open.Thankfully, Luca steps

    ELARA POV I’m still shaking minutes after Renzo ushered Vivienne and me into the car.Vivienne takes the passenger seat while I’m huddled in the back, my nerves fraying at the edges. My brain won't stop screaming with the image of the burner phone buried deep in my wardrobe flashing like a neon warning sign. I chew my lower lip until I taste copper. I didn’t send it. I intended to, I held the button, but I never followed through. Or did I? Was I so drunk I blacked out the most important decision of my life?How did the FBI arrest him if I never gave them the tip? What the fuck is going on?Guilt and fear, like twin blades, tighten around my chest until the ache becomes a physical throb. I shouldn’t feel this way even if I did send it, he deserved it, but the worry for him is a sickness in my gut. Why do I feel so guilty for a betrayal I’m sure I didn’t commit?Why is my heart beating way fast? why can’t I catch my breath? Why can’t I calm my nerves? Why does it seem like a heavy, met

  • The Don's Property   Chapter 92

    ELARA POVAfter a very emotional moment with my younger sister, I’m now seated in front of my best friend while Nero and Renzo sit behind us on a different table. I’ve been trying hard not to glance sideway at the glass wall as there are reflections are clear as if they standing in front of me. This is mostly because of there’s a lot of emotions running through me right now, and because my best friend is being a little weird.She’s staring hard at me with her forehead furrowed as if she’s trying to get a read on me.I take a dragged sip of my milkshake and swallow down before I ask. “What?”She tilts her head, while still giving me that intense look. “That’s what I’m trying to figure out?” She gives me a once-over. “Something looks different about you.”I take a nervous gulp. “I don’t think so.”“Uhm…I’m your best friend so I know so,” she says confidently.“Thankfully staring hard at me isn’t going to get a read on me.” I glance sideways like I can’t help myself, and Nero is looking

    His words reverberate in my ears as I watch Agent Vance’s back disappear between the aisle. I keep telling myself I’m waiting to gather more evidence, but I don’t know how long I’ll be able to lie to myself. The next moment, Nero exits the other aisle in the opposite direction that Vance leaves, startling me. I close my eyes briefly to catch my breath before forcing a smile on her face. Nero’s eyes zero on me as if he can see through me, see that I’m about to stab him in the back even though he’s doing this for me. Why can’t he just stay the monster that I believe him to be. Why? “Are you okay?” he examines me. “You look pale.” “Yeah I’m fine. The AC is just too much,” I lie. “Are you done?” If he notices that I’m trying to change the topic, he doesn’t point it out. “Yes.” In minutes, we are already out of the store. I stare at the back of his head as he loads what we bought into the trunk. My hand itches to reach for my phone and dial the feds, but my chest feels warm w
