Vincent's pov Monday 4th July 2022******************************It's Enzo's funeral today. Everyone is a mess. Giovanni refused to leave his room all weekend, we had to bring him something to eat and drink but he wouldn't touch them. Thankfully Martina and Stefano flew back from Italy yesterday and got Gio to eat something. Having his parents here has really helped Gio deal with his grief. Stefano apologised to me because he couldn't apologise to Enzo for being so homophobic. We've forgiven him because Enzo would have, he loved his papà. Even Emilio cried, and I've never seen him do that before. Him and Martina sorted the funeral for today because George was too much of a wreck to be helpful. He's been staying at the mansion because I didn't want him to be alone, although these past three days I've been angry at him. Damian helped me realise I'm not angry at him, I'm angry at the people who killed Enzo so this morning before the funeral I'm going to have to apologise.I look at m
Vincent's pov Tuesday 30th June 2026*****************************Four years ago today, Lorenzo passed away. His parents moved to Italy for good but Giovanni stayed and helped me take back the business. Turns out Gio is stronger than us all and makes an amazing second in command. Enzo is missed everyday, but life has to go on. A lot has changed. George's funeral happened a couple of days after Enzo's. He was buried right next to Enzo with a matching headstone. It was a very difficult day, I felt so fucking guilty about it all. I go to see Orion every month to help me deal with it because Damian wanted me too. I'm getting somewhere with it, but it'll always be at the back of my mind. Damian is an amazing help, whenever I feel like shit he's always there to cuddle me and make me feel better.I decided to stay as Cappo. I couldn't abandon my family like that. I took full control and now we rarely have any issues because I built up my reputation. Domino also lives with us now. Last ye
George's Pov *********************Am I dead? I should be dead. I shot myself in the head. Why can I feel sand? I open my eyes and wince when it's really bright around me. I blink a few times then slowly sit up. I use my hands to lift myself up and feel sand again. I look around and frown when I realise I'm on a beach. Is this... heaven? I should be in hell if I'm being honest. I look around more as I stand up and stop when I see a house on the beach. It looks exactly like the one me and Lorenzo were looking at before he... you know. The front door opens and a dog bounds out and runs into the ocean. A black Labrador, Enzo's favourite dog. My heart almost stops when I see him walk out of the door after the dog. He has a huge smile on his face and is only wearing summer shorts. He turns and looks at me with a shocked face. He's quite far away from me, but we both start running to get to each other. "George?" Enzo shouts as he gets closer. I start laughing as we both collide an
Damian's povTuesday 31st December 2019**********************************It's my fault Marcus tried to kill himself. I shouldn't have left yet. I should have stayed with him. I should have known what he was planning. It's too late now though, he's back out the hospital and at home with his boyfriends. I've called him everyday but the guilt is eating me alive. I was already guilty enough after Adrian abused Marcus more than me. It's my fault, I shouldn't have ever let him go to the warehouse in the first place. I shouldn't have let Adrian hurt Marcus. Every time I see Marcus' scars I get a pain in my heart because I'm the reason they are there. Orion says it's not my fault, but he's wrong. I've been ignoring his emails since I came back to London. I'm supposed to be going to see him when I move back to be near Marcus but I'm not going to. Because I'm going to end it now. The rope around my neck is itchy and uncomfortable but I don't care. There is tears falling down my face but I
Damian's povSaturday 24th April 2021******************************"How have you been? It's been so long since I last saw you!" Demi says as he hugs me tightly. I'm meeting him at a bar for a catch up because I haven't seen him, other then at the club, since Marcus' wedding day. I even dressed up nice in a navy suit."I'm doing good, how are you?" I ask. Lies, I'm not okay. But he doesn't need to know that. "I'm fine, I'm getting a new sex swing in the shop that Marcus is going to install in some of the playrooms so I'm very busy. You're lucky I managed to meet you here tonight," he says as we sit at the bar together. He's full of energy as he tells me all about his bdsm shop he inherited from his late husband."Sounds exciting," I say and he smiles as he tells me more about it. "Wasn't the wedding beautiful," he sighs as we get onto the topic of Marcus, Nathan and Cole Carlisle. "It was, I'm so proud of Marcus," I say and Demi nods. "Marcus did so well recovering. I was shocked
Damian's povTuesday 27th April 2021******************************I'm going to the club tonight to finally face my fears. I've already arranged with Mason to meet me at the couch at 8pm so we can have a rough scene. He is more of a slave than a submissive and I'll be playing his Master which is freaking me out a little but I'm determined to get over this. I get out of my car and go into the club to Marcus' office where we are having dinner together before going to the club. I'm a little late so everyone is already here when I go inside. There's pizzas on the table between the couches without everyone sat around. Thomas is here with Lacey who's taking over for tonight so Marcus can go to the playroom with Nathan and Cole. Lucas is here and is trying to keep Cole away from his slice of pizza. "Hey Damian!" Cole says happily and pats the space beside him on the couch. I sit down and say hello to everyone. I look at Marcus and see his scars on his arms from his suicide attempt. I shou
Damian's PovWednesday 28th April 2021**********************************Vincent: can I come over? ;)My breathing stops when I read the text. He wants to come over and see me? I was about to make myself dinner so I guess I can make enough for two.Me: sure, I'll send you my address Vincent: I will see you soon I put a shirt on as I've been sat in only some sweatpants and then go to the kitchen to start making something. I decide on a carbonara and panic halfway though making it because Vincent is Italian and what if it's not up to his standard? The doorbell rings and I have to calm myself down before I open the front door. My mouth drops open when I see him in a leather jacket and tight jeans. "Ciao," he greets as he looks my body up and down. "Hello, come in," I say and step aside so he can come inside. He takes his shoes off as he looks around my house. "You have a nice house. Whatever you're cooking smells good," he says and I lead him to the kitchen. My palms sweat and my
Vincent's povThursday 29th April 2021*******************************Damian is wonderful. He made me breakfast this morning after I woke up in his arms and then fucked me again. God his dick is amazing. I can positively say it's the best dick I've taken up my ass before. He knew exactly how to make me feel good and gave me a mind blowing orgasm with his fucking and touching. Unfortunately I've got to go home and do a job with my cousins so I couldn't stay for another round. My ass is sore but I manage to look normal as I step into the Romano mansion. I can hear my cousins arguing so I go into the lounge and stand in the doorway. Lorenzo is sat on the couch cleaning a gun with a bored expression on his face. I'm pretty sure Enzo is a sociopath but I'd never tell him that, he has an extremely short temper and would probably shoot me. He doesn't show much remorse and only cares about his twin brother, Giovanni. Gio is so sweet, he hates being in the mafia so he mainly does hacking
