บททั้งหมดของ The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Present DayMy feet hurry along. The last thing I want to do is to be caught here."He's close to the Cosa Nostra, be damn careful when you do this."Ignoring the words of my ‘sold to’ boyfriend that he said to me earlier, I keep going. Once I round the corner, my pace picks up. I haven't met Dario.Yet Dan warned me.He's close to the Cosa Nostra.He's got deadly hands.He never quits.I need to pray he quits and that he won't realise I took this and ran. I'll be honest. At first I didn't know. Foolish, maybe, as Dan looked astounded when I had never heard of the Pesci brothers.Maybe Dario is close to them, but who gives a fucking shit? I need this. I need to ensure I keep Dan and his friends happy. I have watched this place daily since Dan told me about the job.Tonight was the night I took what they wanted; I took something I never thought I would touch in my life, but I have.God, Lucia, you're fucking foolish!Stopping, my eyes go back to where I had run from. Sweat beads on my

Present DayAs I pace the floor, my anger rises."How do you manage to lose a fucking gun?" I step towards him. My fist clenched."I erm, I placed it on the desk." His body quivers."You placed it on the fucking desk and turned your back on it?" Stepping closer, he nods."I didn't think. I always do it. I don't understand. One second, it was there, then it was gone. I searched and saw no one." His words burn me.Pushing him back, I stand over him."Not seconds. Seconds meant you would have fucking seen who walked in and took it!"Someone was there, or he is lying. Lying so he can keep the gun concealed, to use later, maybe? I watch him cower on the floor."Someone sort him out." Turning, I walk out, Mac follows, and I enter the SUV. "Take me to Al Prato." I hope he knows who it was or saw something.Sucking in a breath, I count.Bury the emotionsHide the angerDon't feelStopping outside, the door is opened for me. I walk in and look at Dom."I can tell you." He laughs slightly, and

I watch as she leaves the kitchen. She uses humour as a way to deflect. She uses jokes to avoid serious questions and answers. Strolling to the cupboard, I pull the mop out.Sure, they will clean up, but I may as well. It saves anyone from slipping. Quickly wiping up the coffee, she decided to splash across the marble floor. I stepped back and placed the mop away.Grabbing coffee, I walk back to my room."You took your time."My head snaps up."Sorry, Sir. I didn't mean.""Yes, you did. Just leave." I stand, watching as Roxy walks to the door. She hesitates for a moment."I apologise, Sir, for my forwardness." She nods and disappears. Drinking the coffee, I run through some work before showering and dressing.Stepping into the office, my brothers and some of the men are waiting for the updates."Well, brother?" Lorenzo looks at me. "Is she a spy, crawling her way into this to cause issues to avenge her father?" His smirk widens as he leans back."Son." Turning, I look at our father. C

TW - This chapter contains r*pe scenes. I’m instantly overwhelmed as I step into the room. There is laughter and talking. I see multiple people positioned around the large wooden table. As I step closer, I sense it is African Blackwood. Stupidly expensive.Chewing my lower lip, I watch Marco pull a chair for me. There are five men, not including Marco, and four women. My eyes don’t settle anywhere. Instead, they flicker around the room, searching for a safe spot.Somewhere that doesn’t have a Pesci family member.“Right, Lucia, these are my brothers. Lorenzo, Dario and and Matteo. That is Iz, or Isridana, although she hates her name.” I nod at his words. Dario, I look at him. I thought it was him I was stealing from. Dan wasn’t wrong about who I was stealing from. Dario is huge, and based on Elmay’s words, I can see the crazy in his eyes. He is enormous, though. Matteo has muscles and a strong jaw but looks exactly as he is, like a politician. My eyes fall on Lorenzo. He’s young, may

I come around, hearing Iz talking to me, slowly guiding me back to reality, one I wish I could escape from.They all saw the whole damn family watched me crumble and fucking fall. I've never had flashbacks that intense before. I can usually see and hear everything around me in a few seconds.This time, I didn't. Iz walked off and left me with Marco, which is worse."How do you feel?" His words are soft as he edges closer to me."Like a fucking fool. Stupid and weak, embarrassed, your whole family saw." I need to leave."They understand. No one thought badly of you because of it, Lucia."I laugh at his words. "Really? As you all seem to be pretty much floating through life right now without issues." Sighing, I rub my face. "I'm sorry, I just feel on edge.""You don't need to apologise, Lucia. You may see me as a hard rock, brick, or something similar. I'm not, or rather, I wasn't always."Raising my head, I look at him."You know those words you say that your mother taught you? I say s
