The Mafia's Two-faced Nurse Chapter 22: Getting to Know Each Other
The words were still vibrating in the air when Gio reached out, his hand wrapping firmly around my wrist. Before I could even protest, he hauled me over the threshold and into the inner sanctum of his bedroom. The door clicked shut behind us, the lock engaging with a heavy, final sound that made my stomach do a nervous flip.The room was vast, draped in shadows and smelling of expensive cedar and Gio’s signature cologne. My heart was hammering against my ribs, the binder feeling tighter than ever. I scanned the room, my eyes landing on a sleek, charcoal-colored leather sofa near the window. Without a word, I scurried over to it and sat down, my back as straight as a board. "What are you doing over there?" The question came from the edge of the massive, king-sized bed. Gio had already kicked off his shoes and was sitting on the silk duvet, his tie loosened and his hair a mess. He looked at me like I’d just told him the sky was green."I'm sitting," I said, my voice higher than I int

The ink of my signature was still wet on the paper when Gio snatched the contract away, clutching it to his chest as if it were a winning lottery ticket. The terrifying, cold-blooded Don Vitale was gone, replaced by a man who looked like he’d just been told he was allowed to keep the moon.I leaned back against the edge of his massive desk, crossing my arms over my chest to hide the frantic thumping of my heart. "You know," I started, a mischievous glint in my eyes, "you’re lucky I came back at all. Jett gave me a very interesting live show while I was out."Gio’s head snapped up, his brow furrowing in confusion. "A show? What are you talking about? Did he take you somewhere?""No, Gio. He flipped his camera," I teased, stepping into his space until I could see the golden flecks in his dark irises. "I saw everything. The phone-slamming. The pacing. The way you were growling at your paperwork like it had personally insulted you. I didn't realize the big, bad boss spent his afternoons
The Mafia's Two-faced Nurse Chapter 20: The Contract
"Let’s go... b-babe."The way the word tumbled out of Gio’s mouth was almost pathetic. It sounded like he’d swallowed a stone and was trying to choke it back up. He didn't wait for me to answer, his hand clamping onto my bicep with a grip that was less romantic partner and more arresting officer.He hauled me toward the grand staircase, his legs moving twice as fast as mine. I had to practically skip to keep up, my sneakers squeaking indignantly against the polished marble. I glanced up, ready to snap at him for the manhandling, but the words died in my throat. Gio was staring straight ahead with a fixated, glass-eyed intensity, his jaw working so hard I thought his teeth might crack.But it was his ears that told the real story—they were a deep, burning crimson, glowing like taillights against his dark hair. The most feared Don in the city was currently short-circuiting because of a four-letter word and a cheek kiss.He dragged me into his private study and slammed the heavy oak doo
The Mafia's Two-faced Nurse Chapter 19: Her Decision
The taxi ride back was a blur of rain-streaked windows and the rhythmic thumping of my own heart. I leaned my head against the cool glass, watching the city lights dissolve into long, jagged smears of neon. My mind was a battlefield.'Is this right?' I asked myself, the image of my mother’s pale face in the hospital bed flickering behind my eyelids. 'Will this protect us, or am I just building a prettier cage?' Every logical bone in my body told me to run, to take my leave and never look back. But then, the memory of Gio in the office—the way he had whispered Allizander like it was a holy relic—sent a traitorous, warm flutter through my chest. It was a terrifying sensation, a spark of life in a heart I had tried so hard to keep numb.'Fine,' I thought, as the massive wrought-iron gates of the Vitale estate groaned open. 'Let’s just go with the flow. If the world burns tomorrow, at least I’ll know I wasn't just a spectator. I’ll face the wreckage when it comes.'I paid the driver and

I didn't reply to the texts. I couldn't.After I saw his messages—the way he admitted the house felt too quiet without me—sleep became an impossible luxury. I spent the rest of the night staring at the flickering heart monitor, the green line dancing in time with my own frantic pulse. Every time I closed my eyes, I felt the phantom weight of his head on my lap. I knew right then that I’d be bothered by his words until the very end of this day. Giovanni Vitale didn't just command a room; he commanded the air in my lungs, even from miles away.As the sun began to bleed through the hospital blinds, turning the sterile white walls into a soft, bruised gold, I stood up and stretched my aching limbs. I leaned down, pressing my forehead against my mother’s knuckles, the skin papery and cool."I have to go, Mom," I whispered, my voice thick with exhaustion. "I’m going to meet Beatriz today. I need to breathe for a second before I go back to my work. I'm
The Mafia's Two-faced Nurse Chapter 17: Gio's Influence
The vibration of his voice against my chest was a physical pull, a gravitational force that threatened to swallow me whole. For a heartbeat, my fingers stayed tangled in his hair, yielding to the sheer, impossible softness of the moment. But then, the reality of the binder tight against my skin and the web of lies between us snapped back into focus.I pushed.It wasn't a gentle nudge. I shoved his shoulders with a frantic strength, scrambling backward until I hit the opposite end of the sofa. My breath was coming in ragged, shallow hitches."Stop," I gasped, my hands trembling as I smoothed down my oversized shirt. "Gio, stop. You’re… you’re exhausted. You’re delirious. You’re playing some kind of twisted game to see how far you can push your medic."Gio sat up slowly, his dark hair messy from my touch, his eyes hooded and tracking my every panicked move. He didn't look angry. He looked steady—terrifyingly steady."I don't play games with
