UNHOLY DESIRE The swine deserves it
MATTEOHaving climbed down from my car, I strode towards the entrance of the formidable building in front of me. Standing at the entrance, I touched the pendant on my chest. The door whined and swirled open, and as soon as I stepped in, it closed with a snap.A wince escaped me at the loudness of it. I should have been used to it, but then, it often startled me each time.I was at the La Fortuna Privé. It was a high-end casino with luxurious décor, glittering chandeliers, and an array of gaming tables. Located on the outskirts of Miraval, the La Fortuna Privé served as a front for money laundering and a source of revenue, which was mainly a hotspot of high-stakes gambling and discreet meetings for the Ferrovia Famiglia.The organization I belonged to."For fifteen years, you were here, Teo, yet you still flinched at the sound of the door?" Lucia said as she approached me with a raise of her slender brows.Lucia Rossi was a beautiful woman in her mid-twenties. She sported short brunett
UNHOLY DESIRE Are you stalking her?
MATTEO"Hey, Ice Queen!" Nicholas called."Shut up, or I'll make you, Ink!" Lucia retorted.Although I referred to Lucia as Lucy, most people in the famiglias knew her as the Ice Queen. It was due to her ruthlessness while carrying out her assignment that she was nicknamed that.As for Nicholas, he was called Ink because of the many tattoos he had on his body. While every one of us had a tattoo symbolizing our organization, Nicholas' tattoos covered 90% of his body. I wouldn't be surprised if he had one, even in the most private areas.I breathed out as Lucia stepped towards me, her lavender scent teasing my nostrils."Who's that, Bambina?" She questioned, leaning into me. "Giovanni said to remind you about the meeting."Of course, I hadn't forgotten about it. I had only just stepped out now and wanted some respite from everything that had been happening."Teo," Lucia called as I ignored her question. "You've been brooding, Sphinx, and this is the longest I've seen you lost in thought
UNHOLY DESIRE Are you and daddy fighting?
DEIRDREIt was past eleven, and Matteo still wasn't home. I figured I shouldn't wait up for him, but I couldn't help myself."Mama," Kendall murmured.I looked down at her as she tugged at the hem of the robe I had on. It was Matteo's robe. I didn't have much choice in the matter as I found nothing suitable to wear."Why, baby?" I asked, bending down to her level. "Shouldn't you be in bed?"I ruffled her hair as she wrapped her tiny arms around me."I want Daddy to kiss me goodnight," she murmured, half-asleep.This wasn't the first time she'd asked about her father, but today, she'd been talking about Matteo nonstop, even though I hadn't mentioned anything about him being related to her. It puzzled me. Also, I kept wondering how Kendall, who couldn't stop speaking about Matteo, had called him a monster.Perhaps it was a misconception."I'll kiss you good night," I said, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead."No," Kendall shook her head emphatically. "You do that all the time. I wan
UNHOLY DESIRE My home, my rules
DEIRDREI paused by the doorway alongside Matteo, realizing we stood in front of what I assumed was his room.With my arms crossed, I spoke up. "I thought we were going to discuss this in the living room."Matteo turned to me, his gaze assessing me. He remarked, "I should be the one concerned, considering you're now wearing my things without permission. I can't predict what else you might do."The audacity!I clenched my teeth, unable to hold back. I shot him a glare. "You left me with no choice. And how dare you take my clothes? That was never part of the deal!""This is my home, my rules," Matteo stated firmly."This is a mistake," I muttered, shaking my head. He held the door open wider after entering.I was reluctant to step in with him, but it seemed as though if I didn't, he was going to make me.As I stepped into the room, Matteo shut the door behind us. I stood close to it, still holding onto myself as if it could shield me from whatever might transpire in this room.The space
UNHOLY DESIRE I mean no harm
DEIRDREThe next morning, I was awakened from my slumber by Kendall. She kept jumping on my bed, tugging at my robe.She wasn't the only one, although she was the major reason. I heard voices outside my door, making me wonder if there was a special visitor in the penthouse."Mama!" Kendall exclaimed, her hands tangled in my hair, and she pulled, making me wince."That hurts, Kenny," I groaned, gently removing her hand. I sat up straight as a knock followed by Matteo's voice sounded."Daddy has a woman over," Kendall whispered, making me frown."What do you mean he has a woman over?" I asked."There's a woman waiting for him outside," she said, her nose wrinkling.Kendall surprised me most of the time. For a child her age, she was much more eloquent than I would have imagined. Most of the words she used surprised me even more. I believe she learned them from her friends in the playgroup she attended, perhaps from one of her teachers."Darling," Matteo's voice called from outside my doo
UNHOLY DESIRE No one dare lays a hand...
DEIRDREIt hadn't been more than two hours since Matteo had given me the time I needed. I emerged from the room, my luggage in tow.As I reentered the living room, I spotted Matteo, Lucia, and Kendall. Kendall rushed towards me, her ice cream cone forgotten in her hand."Mama!" she exclaimed, gripping my legs. "You look so pretty.""Thank you, baby," I replied, tousling her hair.Matteo came over to me, leaning in. "You look good."I nodded. It wasn't the first time he'd complimented me, and I doubted it would be the last.Matteo had changed into a different outfit. Instead of the brown two-piece suit he'd worn earlier, he now sported a tailored navy blazer matched with a crisp white dress shirt. He paired it with well-fitted khaki trousers and a complementary brown leather belt.Lucia approached him, adjusting the navy blue silk pocket square, then gestured to the brown loafers he wore."What?" Matteo asked."You promised to get me one," she reminded him, and Matteo nodded in acknowl
UNHOLY DESIRE Keep your wife safe
MATTEO"You brought her," I turned to stare at Jackson. He strode towards me and wrapped his arms around me."Is there a problem with that?" I asked."I just feel with what is going on, it might have been best if she stayed home," Jackson said."Perhaps," I murmured. Even though he was somewhat right, I didn't see a reason Deirdre should stay at home when she could be with me, and I would protect her."I learned of some activities here," I said, glancing around. Although I could not ascertain if I was being watched or not, I felt like it. "The locals told me there were at least ten killings in the past few days, and all weren't from this region. I remember one of the locals telling me they had weird tattoos and hard currency on them after the police came for investigation.""I received a report as well; hence, I am here," Jackson said, handing me a sheet of paper he had torn open from the brown envelope."Who brought this?" I asked."From the boss, it was addressed to you," Jackson sa
UNHOLY DESIRE Step back
MATTEO POV"Advantage?" I scoffed, downing my third drink for the night. Deirdre had made it seem like I had assaulted her.She had made me look like a fucking pervert. While I'd admit she was in shock, she was of legal age, and I wasn't much older than her. We first met when I was twenty-seven and she was eighteen. While a nine-year gap wasn't common, it did happen in relationships.Moreover, Deirdre had approached me herself. She had seduced me. I resisted as much as I could until I couldn't anymore, yet she was painting me as the villain. I felt somewhat disgusted with myself. I didn't understand why, but the way she had expressed it with so much hatred as if I had taken her against her will, was deeply unsettling.Maybe she didn't mean what she had said, but it was Deirdre, and I saw the hatred in her eyes."She's attractive," I heard whispers swirling around me."Damn, I'd have those legs around me, even if just for tonight," another voice chimed in.I didn't want to look, but ju
