The music from the club still vibrated against my skin, a pulse that blended with the warmth of Marco’s hands on my waist. The dance floor was a whirl of golden lights and shadows, but for me, the world had shrunk to him. His gray eyes—intense and dangerous—never left mine, and every move he made was a provocation, an invitation to a game I wasn’t sure I knew how to play. He guided me with a confidence that stole my breath, his fingers firm yet careful, as if afraid to break me... or maybe trying to contain me.

“You’re tense,” he murmured, his voice a whisper that brushed my ear like a caress. His warm breath grazed my cheek, and the scent of his cologne—leather and spice—wrapped around me. He pulled me closer, our bodies so near I could feel the heat of his chest through the thin fabric of my suit. “Let go, Sofia. Just for tonight.”

I wanted to answer—to tell him I couldn’t let go, that I didn’t trust him, that his world terrified me. But his hands, sliding just slightly lower on my

  • The Mafia’s Accountant   Under the Shadow of Desire

    The roar of the sports car’s engine could barely compete with the pounding of my heart as I drove through the streets of New York, the city a blur of lights that did nothing to distract me from the fire Sofia had lit inside me. That kiss back at the club, her courage facing off against Elena, the way her brown eyes challenged me even as she trembled under my touch… all of it had me on the edge of madness. No woman had ever made me feel like this—so out of control, so trapped in a game where the rules dissolved the moment she looked at me. Her words—“I’m not that easy, Marco”—were a challenge that burned in me, and damn it, I wanted to take it.I parked in front of her building, the same place where I’d almost kissed her a few nights ago, where this whirlwind had started. I got out and opened her door, my body humming with a mix of desire and anticipation. Sofia stepped out, her eyes glinting under the streetlights, but there was a wall in her gaze—a determination that intrigued me as

  • The Mafia’s Accountant   Cutting Looks

    The taste of Marco’s kiss still burned on my lips as we walked back into the betting den, the echo of our argument—and that explosion of passion—reverberating through every corner of my body. My legs trembled, not just from the fury still thrumming inside me, but from the way his hands had claimed my waist, his mouth demanding everything I wasn’t sure I wanted to give.Carla’s words—“seduce and discard”—still whispered in my mind, but the heat of that kiss had silenced them, if only for a moment. Now, walking beside him, the smoke- and testosterone-thick air of the place wrapped around me, and I didn’t know if I was angrier at him… or at myself for giving in.Marco sat at the poker table, his posture relaxed but exuding that air of control that made every man in the room look at him with respect. I remained standing, my body rigid, trying to ignore the curious glances from the players. The clinking of chips and low laughter filled the air—but all of it faded when a figure appeared at

  • The Mafia’s Accountant   Unleashed Fire

    The echo of heels rang through the halls of the Vallardi mansion as I returned from lunch with Carla, her words still burning in me like embers. "Marco is a predator, and you’re easy prey." Her confession about having been one of his lovers, about how he seduced and discarded women, had left a knot in my stomach. But what truly had me on edge was the discovery of the initials C.V. in the accounts. Was Carla a traitor? Or just another piece in a game I couldn’t quite understand?My head was a storm, and the last thing I needed was to run into Marco. But there he was, waiting for me in the foyer, his imposing figure framed against the light streaming through the tall windows. His gray eyes found me instantly, and my heart skipped—not only at the sight of him but at the memory of his breath at my door, just a whisper away from a kiss that never came.“Sofia,” he said, his voice low but authoritative. “Come with me.”I frowned, my body tensing. “Where?” I asked, my tone sharper than I

  • The Mafia’s Accountant   Truths on the Edge

    The hum of the servers in the Vallardi mansion’s tech room was the only sound breaking the silence as my eyes scanned the screens filled with numbers. I’d come back to work that morning with my mind in chaos, the memory of the almost-kiss with Marco at my apartment door still burning through me. His words, his nearness, the way his gaze had stripped me bare without even touching me… it had all left me sleepless, caught between desire and the certainty that getting close to him was like playing with fire. But now, with my father’s ledgers open before me, I had to focus.For Nico. For me.I had to find the truth.My fingers flew over the keyboard, tracing a trail of transfers that seemed to vanish in a labyrinth of offshore accounts. Aurora Holdings was still a shadow, but every line I examined brought me closer to something—though I didn’t know what.Until I saw it.A series of small payments, nearly insignificant, hidden among the operational expenses of one of the Vallardi shell comp

  • The Mafia’s Accountant   The Roar Beneath My Skin

    Marco’s POVThe roar of the sports car engine still echoed in my ears as I sped through New York’s empty streets, the city lights a blur that couldn’t quiet the storm in my head. Dropping Sofia off at her apartment had felt like tearing a part of myself away. That almost-kiss at her door—the way her brown eyes locked onto mine, the slight tremble in her body when I leaned in… all of it was a mistake. A mistake I couldn’t afford. Her perfume, subtle yet intoxicating, still clung to me—a reminder of how close I’d come to crossing a line I had sworn not to touch.I gripped the steering wheel, my knuckles turning white. This wasn’t new. Women had always been part of the game: a quick flirtation, a night without strings, a way to release the tension of my world. With every new girl who started working for me—messengers, lawyers, accountants like Sofia—I knew how to play my cards. A few drinks, a dance, the right words, and it all ended in laughter or in my bed. It was familiar ground. A bo
