David;

I keep my eyes outside, listening to Only Love by Ben Howard from my earpiece as I watch trees and cars zoom by. I shut my eyes as I remember the first time I met Salvatore, how he had me tied up. The things he said, the way he spoke, and the way he made me feel. I remember how heartlessly he tortured that man. The darkness and fury in his eyes and how vicious and scary he looked covered in so much blood.

I take a deep breath when I remember how lively he was this morning with that man. And how cold he is now. I don’t know why I feel the way I feel or what is wrong with me. I turn to steal a glance at him, and sure, his eyes are fixed on his laptop. It’s bright light illuminating his face. I stare at the scar on his cheek for a while, and then at his lips. I blink when I remember that he almost kissed me and I was ready for it. The embarrassment washes over me again, and I turn my gaze back to the road outside.

I look up at the light blue sky that's slowly fading into orange

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   191 - Meeting Adjourned

    David;“I mean Dimitri’s spy.”Jamal’s eyes narrow as he glares at me. “That makes no sense. Dimitri is the one who kept trying to help us find the mole that your boss planted in our syndicate. To be honest, he is lucky we’re currently in mourning; otherwise, we would have shown him what happens to those who mess with us!” He grows, and I point as I stare at him. Almost feeling pity for his stupidity. “Wow. Dimitri really turned himself into a messiah for you all.” I taunt, and Jamal eyes me suspiciously.“Open it,” I order as I point with my eyes to the folder in front of them, and Varun picks up the folder. “Dimitri planted one of his men inside your syndicate. Then he self-righteously pretended to ‘help you root him out’. However, while you were distracted looking for what was right under your nose, he gained access to all your confidential files. Then he blackmailed your suppliers into working with him instead of you.” I explain, and Jamal’s rigid expression falters. Braun lo

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   190 - Dimitri Fooled You All

    David;All eyes are on me, and the silence is the loudest thing I’ve heard since I’ve set foot in this room. However, proving Sal’s innocence and putting these foul-mouthed batards in their places suddenly gives me more courage than I thought I’d have in this room.I stand up, ignoring all the eyes on me. Some are staring at me in shock, and others with rage. But I’d be damned if I care about their ego. They need the truth, and I swear to God, I’m going to smack them hard across the face with it.I snap the briefcase open, and some of them lean forward.I look up at Bjorn, who is still frozen in disbelief, as I grab one of the folders.“You want proof?” I demand with my voice echoes across the hall, and he gulps as he sits back down.He certainly wasn’t expecting anyone to know that the ‘accident’ his wife had was orchestrated by him.But nothing gets past me when I get curious. I did some digging and found the… threats and messages he sent to her right before her accident. An acciden

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   189 - I'm The Third Wheel

    Lucas;I sit down on the next vacant seat beside Sal, and as I stare at him, my mind churns.If there’s one thing I’ve always admired about Sal, it’s how he’s always able to keep his cool in damning situations. Things you expect would rattle him, don’t. It’s either that, or he is exceptionally good at hiding his fear. And right now… Looking at the way his arm is wrapped around David’s waist, and how tightly he’s kept his grip latched, I understand.He is scared. But not for or about himself. Rather… he’s scared… for David.He doesn’t want David getting hurt. Is he even bothered about me? I’m here too… and he’s barely spared me a glance since we got in here. I don’t even know what I was expecting. Of course, he wouldn’t look here. I’m Lucas. I’m not his baby. I can take care of myself.I’m such a joke.“We called this meeting because you broke the rules that guard this territory,” Mara says, and my eyes move to her.“What rules are these?” Sal questions, and she grins her teeth. “

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   188 - The Meeting

    David;The hall is massive… and oppressive. There’s no trace of natural lighting in the room at all. None whatsoever.There’s a broad, black carpet that runs along the middle of the room, leading to a massive rectangular table.I instinctively move closer to Sal as I feel the tension of the room press down around me, and suddenly I’m second-guessing myself. Will I be able to do what I planned today?It feels like I just walked into a lion's den… a bear’s cave. Every single thing, down to the colour theme of the room, is depressing.It feels like every move I make is being watched. Every breath, every blink… I feel… naked.The walls are coated in silver paint, and the curtains are thick and black. Flowing from the ceiling to the floor like shadows of midnight.In this room right now are the heads of every single syndicate in Florida.It’s usually impossible to get them all in one room at a time, but they’re all here right now.For Sal… to ruin him.This level of hatred is appalling.Ho

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   187 - Drop Your Weapons

    David:We get to the entrance of the meeting hall, and one of the three bulky men at the doors raises a hand.“You all have to be searched before you go in.” He says, and I raise a brow. Sal steps forward and raises his hands, and behind him, Lucas does the same. Wait… they aren’t supposed to have weapons on them when going into a room filled with enemies and potential life threats??Sal looks at me, and perhaps he sees my confusion. “It’s protocol, David. Weapons aren’t allowed at such meetings. Only the guards carry them.” He explains, and I blink at him. “So you’re just meant to face your enemies defenceless??” I can’t help but demand in horror as I look between him and Lucas, and Lucas looks away like whatever I’m saying is none of his business. “I’m not defenceless,” Sal says, and I raise a brow. “Anything can be a weapon if you know how to use it right.” He says, and I blink in awe at the smirk on his lips. Does he have a plan?One of the guards starts searching him, and I

  • The Mafia's Boy Toy   186 - This Is Unimportant

    Lucas;“Lucas.” I hear Sal call me as I get into the underground interrogation room.I had thought about a private place to go, and in the haze, my mind is currently, this was the only place I could think of. The interrogation room.“Lucas!” Sal calls behind me again as I get to the door, but I don’t turn back to look at him.“I’m fine, Sal.” I lie as I unbolt the door. I step in and am about to shut the door behind me when he barges in. He shuts the door behind him, and I stare at him in alarm before looking away. He shouldn’t see me cry. I shouldn’t make a big deal out of this. If he asks why I'm crying, what the fuck do I say? I figured I don’t belong with him and David, and I can’t help but be a big baby about it?I turn away from him, and just as I try to create some space between us, he grabs my wrist. “What’s wrong, Lucas? Why are you crying? What happened?” I shut my eyes as the words leave his mouth. I knew he was going to ask this. “I’m fine. It’s nothing. I just… I
