Lahat ng Kabanata ng Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don: Kabanata 821 - Kabanata 830

Theo's POVThe moment Michael left the room, I opened my eyes.The door clicked shut behind him, silence followed and for several seconds, I remained exactly where I was, staring at the ceiling.If anyone had walked in right now, they would have assumed I was asleep.That was exactly what I wanted.Slowly, carefully, I pushed myself upright then pain immediately shot through my side."Son of a—"I stopped myself.The doctors had been right. I had no business leaving the hospital. Every muscle in my body felt like it had been run over by a truck but that wasn't important.What was important was Fernando.I looked toward the bedroom door and my jaw tightened.I didn't trust him, not even a little, especially after everything that had happened.The threats, the lies, the suspicious timing of his arrival and the fact that I had ended up in surgery after he conveniently decided I was a problem.No. I wasn't taking chances.I reached into the small bag Roberto had brought for me and Inside

Theo's POVThe moment I heard Marlo's voice, the room suddenly felt colder. Across from me, Roberto had gone completely still.I tightened my grip on the phone."What do you want?" I asked.Marlo laughed again."Straight to business.""I don't have time for games" I said.Even through the phone I could hear the smugness in his voice. The man always sounded like he believed he was the smartest person in every room.Unfortunately, he was often dangerous enough to make people tolerate it."I heard you've had a rough few days," Marlo continued."That's funny.""I thought so."The silence stretched briefly then his voice became colder, more serious."Tell me, Theo. How does it feel being on my list?"I frowned."What list?""My revenge list" he replied. Roberto immediately straightened. I could practically feel the tension rising inside the room.I leaned back against the headboard."Should I be scared?""Probably" he said.I laughed, mostly because I refused to let him hear my shock."I'

Fernando's POVI stared at Theo and all i could think about was regret. I wished i had finished him off with a bullet in the head when my men attacked his car.He had the guts to interrupt a conversation that should have been between Michael and me, and worst of all, Michael had actually listened to him.I sat quietly at the kitchen table while everyone gathered their thoughts. The atmosphere felt heavy and nobody seemed eager to continue the argument, especially Michael.I knew that look on his face. The slight tension in his jaw, the exhaustion in his eyes, the way he kept rubbing the bridge of his nose meant he was tired.The last few days had been one disaster after another and now another threat hanging over all our heads.I watched Michael carefully. For a brief moment, I considered pushing the conversation further, trying again to convince him, to make him understand that New York was the safest option.But I stopped myself.Michael looked one sentence away from throwing all o

Fernando's POVThe only reason I had volunteered to help Theo upstairs was because I wanted him out of the kitchen, out of Michael's sight, and, if fate was feeling particularly generous, asleep for the next twelve hours.That would leave me alone with Michael.It was a very pleasant thought. One that had been occupying my mind far more than it probably should.Especially after what had almost happened between us earlier.The memory of Michael's lips alone was enough to make me smile.The way he had kissed me back, not out of obligation, but because he wanted to, was a single fact enough to keep me happy for weeks.Unfortunately, Theo existed and he had a remarkable talent for ruining my good moods.I guided him slowly up the staircase. The man was still injured despite pretending otherwise."You know, if you stopped acting like a stubborn mule, this would be easier" I said casually.Theo shot me a glare."I'm walking perfectly fine.""You nearly tripped on the stairs on I dropped you

Fernando's POVI had stared down countless guns in my life. Some had belonged to enemies, some had belonged to former allies and a few had even belonged to family.But there was something uniquely irritating about having Theo point a gun at me while sitting in Michael's bed.It felt disrespectful somehow.My eyes remained locked on the weapon in his hand but Theo didn't look away and neither did I. It seems this man has grown balls big enough if he thought he stood a chance of shooting me, right in the house of my husband. The room had become deathly quiet. The kind of silence that comes before something terrible happens, or something stupid.With Theo, it was usually both."You should lower that," I said calmly.Theo laughed without humor."Why?""Because if you shoot me, Michael will be furious" I said, a smirk slowly playing on my lips."I'll survive" he said but I didn't believe him for one second.I smirked wider."No, you won't."His jaw tightened but the gun remained pointed
