VICENZO’S POV

Her breath hitched under me as her fingers tangled in my hair. Her skin was fever-warm and flushed beneath my mouth. I was high on lust and wanted to consume every part of her as my mouth latched into her nipples, hard and erect.

She was beneath me but she wasn’t small. She never had been. She met every kiss, every graze of my teeth with something wilder. Her legs wrapped around me, her back arching, her lips parting with a gasp that made my blood thrum.

“Enzo…” she whispered, voice wrecked, pulling me deeper, like she couldn’t get close enough.

    ARMANO’S POVThere are moments in a man’s life that redefine him. The night my family was slaughtered was one of them. The night my father was burnt alive and my brothers shot.I still remember the heat. The smell of smoke. I was sixteen. Young, angry, stupid. I wanted to fight. Wanted to go back and die with them. But I ran, because my older brother had thrown me into the swamp behind our room and ordered me to run.I ran through fire and bullets and the screams of my bloodline dying around me. The past never left me. It lived beneath my skin, crawled like fire in my blood, whispered like ghosts in the dark. I could still smell the smoke from that night, the iron tang of blood, the ash in the air, the screeching of tires as men screamed and died around me. The massacre of my family hadn’t been swift. It had been a calculated execution.Enzo Moretti. Mateo Moretti. Their soldiers. They came like shadows and

    VICENZO’S POVShe didn’t move. Not when I said I’d burn the world for her. Not when I stepped closer. The rain still roared outside, water pooling at the windows and dripping from the edge of the roof in slow, steady beats. Inside, everything was too quiet, like the walls themselves were holding their breath.Rosa stood like a statue in the middle of the room. Her arms wrapped around her chest, her eyes glassy and unreadable. My words hung in the air between us, too heavy to touch. “Say something,” I whispered. Begged. She blinked slowly. Her lips parted, then closed again.“You think you can just say that and fix everything?” Her voice cracked at the edges. “You think love is a fire you can light and everything else just burns away? Enzo, I ran from all this… this is not the life I want for myself…for my daughter.” I swallowed hard. “Then I’ll change. For you. I’ll be the kind of man you deserve.

    SALVATORE’S POVShe trusted me.That thought had settled into my chest like a stone, heavy and immovable, the whole drive out of the city. The hum of the car was low and steady, but inside my mind, everything was chaos. I glanced at the rearview mirror. Sofia’s tiny head had fallen against the car seat, her little fists tucked beneath her chin. Sofia was asleep. Sofia had never liked me and I was doing this to her. To her mother.Rosa had looked at me this morning like I was her anchor. Her last hope. That look would stay with me until I died. The sky above stretched wide and gray, thick clouds smothering the sun. The roads grew emptier the farther I got from the city. I could almost hear the voice of Don Moretti in my head, that cold growl of his the first day I walked into his territory: “May I cut in?” But it hadn’t been a request. I’d smiled then. Tried to be charming. At the time, it had all been part of the gam

    ROSA’S POVRain soaked through my clothes, cold and heavy as Enzo stared at me like the world had just cracked in half. He didn’t speak for a moment, not really. His chest rose and fell, his eyes flicking over my face like he was trying to decide if I was still real or part of some cruel trick. Water streamed down his jaw, and clung to his lashes. A car passed behind him, its headlights briefly casting us both in a pale yellow glow. Then thunder cracked again. He stepped forward and tried to touch my arm, but I flinched instinctively. The pain on his face was unbearable. “Come inside,” I whispered in a shaky breath. We walked inside in silence. The apartment was dim, only the hallway lamp on, casting soft amber light across the wet hardwood. Everything smelled like rain and despair.Enzo dripped water onto the floor, pacing as I wrapped my arms around myself. My clothes clung to my skin and I was trembling

    VICENZO’S POVEver since I declared I would kill the Pacino siblings, Mateo’s voice became permanent in my ears. Every morning, he was on me. Texts. Calls. His eyes watching me like I was some boy needing reminders. As if I hadn’t already bled for this family. As if I didn’t know what had to be done. I tried to play it off with nods and affirmations. I’ll take care of it. I’ll handle it. But I couldn’t stop imagining Rosa’s face. The softness in her voice when she used to say my name. And Sofia. My daughter with her bright blue eyes. I leaned forward, pressing my hands to my face.How the hell was I supposed to kill the mother of my child? But Mateo wouldn’t stop.“Don’t flinch now. You already did the hardest part.”No. I didn’t.This…this… was the hardest part. Every time I tried to imagine doing it, my throat closed up. My hand went weak. And then I started planning ways to fa

  • The Mafia’s Runaway Bride   Chapter 79

    ROSA’S POVI had done the only thing I could do: call Salvatore. And now, I waited. He was the only one I could trust. Even after the call, after I told Salvatore everything and he promised he was on his way, I couldn’t sit still.The only sound was Sofia’s soft breathing from the bedroom and the ticking of the old kitchen clock. I poured myself another glass of water, my hand shaking a little now. Not from fear. Not exactly. Just… uncertainty.Salvatore had said he was my person and I wanted to believe him. Needed to. A soft knock came at the door, and my breath caught. I stood there, frozen for a second, before unlocking it.Salvatore stood in the hallway, dressed in a black sweater and slacks, his hair slightly mussed from the wind. His eyes met mine instantly. They were kind, steady and safe. “Rosalinda, mi amor,” he said softly. I stepped back to let him in.
