Chapter 6

Author: Premier II
I jolted. I hadn't expected Luciano to be so blunt. Was he… trying to turn me?

"Why should I help you?" I finally found my voice, though it trembled a little.

"Because," he murmured against my ear, teeth grazing my earlobe, his voice both seductive and cruel, "you don't have a choice. I'm the only one who can tear up that three-million-dollar contract of servitude for you."

He paused, a playful, dangerous note slipping into his tone. "And don't you want to see what your elegant, perfect Underboss looks like when I've got him under my heel?"

His words were the devil's whisper, laced with fatal temptation.

I closed my eyes and drew in a deep breath. When I opened them again, the haze was gone. My gaze was clear and steady.

"Fine," I heard myself say. "I'll help you."

After forming this "alliance" with Luciano, life seemed to slip back into its old routine.

During the day, Dante stayed by my side as always. The bruising on his cheek had faded. He'd put his glasses back on and r

  • Your Little Plaything? I'll Be Your Nightmare   Chapter 11

    Luciano's downfall sent shockwaves through Crownpoint.Every single piece of evidence Leo helped me pass to the Global Criminal Bureau was enough to condemn Luciano for good. Illegal arms deals, hostile takeovers, offshore money laundering, plus aggravated assault and orchestrating the dock incident to frame Dante…Stacked together, the charges were enough to bury him. He would spend the rest of his life in permanent lockdown in the federal system's strictest prison, Fort Caldera Penitentiary.The Costello family was finished. One heir was insane, and the other was in prison. That once untouchable Crownpoint mafia empire collapsed overnight.…I went to see Dante once in that dungeon-like room of the psychiatric facility.His head was shaved, and he wore an oversized hospital gown. His limbs were strapped to the bed. His eyes were vacant, and he kept mumbling to himself."Chiara, don't be afraid. You've got me. Chiara, you're mine."Over and over, he repeated those lines.I wa

    Luciano took full control of the Costello family. He gave me everything other women could only dream of—a mansion on Longshore Isle, the newest sports car, and more jewelry than I could ever count.He even burned that three-million-dollar contract right in front of me.All of Crownpoint knew that the newly crowned, poker-faced Don of the Costello family had a woman he kept at the center of his world.That woman was me, Chiara Bellini.But only I knew that all of this was just another, more luxurious cage. The flames in Luciano's eyes burned brighter with each passing day when he looked at me, and the possessiveness intensified.In the middle of the night, he would run his hands over my face again and again, just to make sure I was really there.Once, because I glanced at Leo for a second too long, he made sure one of Leo's family's cargo ships had an "accident" and sank out on the open sea.Compared to Dante, he knew far better how to use tenderness to weave an inescapable web.

    For a split second, Dante froze. I took advantage of that to drive the dagger I'd been hiding up my sleeve straight into his abdomen without hesitation.He stared at me in disbelief. The butterfly knife slipped from his hand and hit the ground with a loud clang."You—"I didn't give him the chance to finish. I yanked the blade out, then plunged it back into the same spot. Blood burst out in a hot spray, soaking the front of my white trench coat.His eyes rolled back, and the strength drained from his body. He crumpled to the floor. Blood spread quickly beneath him, pooling out in a dark, growing stain. Everything had happened in a matter of seconds.I pulled the dagger free and walked toward Luciano. I looked into his shell-shocked eyes and smiled. "Luciano, it's our turn now."His whole body was wound tight."What do you want?" His voice came out muffled under the duct tape.I slowly traced the tip of the blade along the contour of his face. "Weren't you the one who wanted me

    It was a month before I saw Dante again.He'd lost a lot of weight, and the light in his eyes had dimmed. However, he still wore a perfectly tailored suit and clung to that last bit of dignity.When he saw Luciano walk in with a group of men who had pledged loyalty to him, he didn't look surprised. There was only a kind of ashen calm on his face.Maybe he'd seen this day coming for a long time.When Luciano's attorney announced that Luciano now controlled more than 50% of the family's businesses and armed forces, the room exploded.Dante's mother, the pampered Donna who'd always lived in comfort, fainted on the spot. Dante caught her as she fell. Then, he lifted his head, his gaze cutting through the crowd and landing directly on me.There was a storm in his eyes. Hate, pain, and defiance swirled in them, along with a trace of… a kind of despair I couldn't quite understand.Then, he smiled. He looked straight at me and mouthed a few words, "We die together."I gave him a small

    Luciano's movements instantly halted. He stared at me, his eyes surging with shock. "What did you say?""I said, if I get pregnant," I repeated calmly, "whose child would it be?"He fell silent.In the dead stillness, I suddenly laughed. "You two pass me around like some toy and take turns having your way with me. You feel pretty proud of yourselves, don't you?"It takes 40 weeks to carry a child to term, but it would only take me a few minutes to get rid of it. Luciano, I don't want my child to be born without a father. Even more than that, I don't want him or her to end up being the plaything of psychos like you and Dante."With that, I turned around and walked out. But Luciano yanked me back, dragging me into his arms."I'm not like him!" It was like I'd stomped on a raw nerve. Even his voice was shaking. "Chiara, don't go. Don't leave me."I lowered my gaze. His heartbeat thudded against my cheek, steady and powerful. So, even the strongest devil had a vulnerable spot, and I
