The Mafia’s Little Temptation

Melissa’s pov:As I sat in front of Salvatore Moretti, my heart raced and my palms began to sweat. I couldn't believe that the man I had mistaken for a guard just yesterday was the notorious mafia boss himself. I felt a lump forming in my throat and my mind raced with all sorts of thoughts. I was very scared of what was to come."What am I doing here? How did I get myself into this situation?" I thought to myself. I wish I didn’t take up this job.Salvatore sat behind his desk, his piercing gaze locked onto me. He was calm and collected, his face void of any emotion. I couldn't help but feel intimidated by him, especially since I knew how much power he retained in this city."You are Melissa, right?" Salvatore spoke, his voice deep and bossy. I was sure he had asked Maria what my name was, this means I’m in big trouble.I nodded nervously, too afraid to speak."You have been appointed as my personal maid," Salvatore continued. "I expect you to carry out your duties efficiently and eff

Melissa’s PovWell, it’s been days since I’ve started working as Salvatore’s maid and I must say, things have been going great, I rarely see him at home and most of the time, I’m left to do my job without any hassle. However, today is my day off and I’m headed back home to see my mum.I quickly grabbed my bag and head out of Salvatore’s mansion, hailing a cab to take me home. As the cab drives me towards my mother’s house, I can’t help but feel anxious about seeing her. She’s been sick for a while now and I know that it’s not easy for her. But I’m relieved to know that Gabriela, her friend, is taking care of her while I’m at work.As the cab pulls up to the front of the house, I take a deep breath and stepped out. I was greeted by the sight of Gabriela, who looks up and gave me a warm smile."Melissa, it’s good to see you. Your mother has been waiting for you," she says as she welcomes me inside.I nod and follow her into the living room where I find my mother resting on the couch. S

Salvatore’s POV"You think you're smart, right?" I hissed, my grip tightened on her arm as I prepared to exact my revenge.Isabella's eyes widened in surprise. I could see a flash of fear in them. Good. She should be scared."How did you-?" she started.Before she could finish, I punched her in the mouth. She fell to the floor and was knocked out immediately.I stared at her still body in disgust. Time to teach her a lesson.*Half an hour later, I stared at Isabella and watched as she slowly regained consciousness. For a moment, she looked confused then she looked around and realised where she was. She tried to scream but no words could come out because her mouth was gagged. She tried repeatedly but only more muffled noises could be heard.I could see the sheer terror in her eyes. I smirked. I feed on fear.I ordered my two most trusted men; Matthew and Charles, to take her to the dungeon. They tied her to a chair and gagged her.Various torture methods flowed through my mind as I lo

Just as Isabella was about to make her daring escape, Salvatore aimed his gun and fired a shot in her direction. The sound of the gunshot was deafening, causing me to instinctively cover my ears.I stifled a scream, fearing the worst for Isabella. But to everyone's astonishment, she managed to roll on the floor and slip through the gates just as they were closing. It was as if she had anticipated the gunshot. She had actually managed to get away, and I couldn't help but feel responsible for the entire situation.I couldn't understand why they had captured her in the first place, but she must have done something terrible to Salvatore. From the snippets of conversation I had overheard, it seemed she had poisoned him, and now she had vanished. It was all my fault. If only I had minded my own business, none of this would have happened."Ugh!" Salvatore yelled in frustration, throwing his gun to the floor. He placed his hands on his waist, seemingly contemplating his next move. His breathin
