All Chapters of Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

SARIAN I felt it again — that unnoticeable prick on my skin, like it was very cold that morning but obviously it wasn't because I knew I wasn't alone.I had that feeling like eyes crawling over me.Watching. Waiting to strike and I didn't know what it was. My hand hung mid air as I reached for my coffee, and I glanced toward the hallway. Nothing. Just the soft, the family silence of the villa that I had grown used to.But I knew what I felt.Someone was here. I could feel it Or had been.“ Don Julio? ” I called out, forcing my voice to sound steady but it was shaky and laced with fear.His voice came from the room opposite, low and tensed, maybe he had also noticed it too.. “ Stay where you are. I’ll be there in a nanosecond. ” he said and I forced myself to take a sip of coffee that now felt like acid on my tongue.But I didn’t hear. I was stubborn , I was supposed to do as he said and stayed in the room and finished up my breakfast.My feet moved on their own as I crept toward the ha

DON JULIO Matteo arrived the next morning, in his usual stoic tone. He didn’t need to tell me of his presence. I saw him on the security footage before the door even opened. Always effective. Always quiet. He was one of the few in my gang that I could manage to trust if the word trust existed to me in the first place.He hadn't come with us because of personal reasons and things I had to do.Matteo was a professional; he never let his guard down, and he understood the assignment very well that when he came, he didn't let anyone follow him into the suite.I glanced over to where Sarian lay, a soft breath escaping her lips as she slept. My heart tensed with a strange emotion I didn’t want to show, let her enjoy a moment of peace for once. She was still recovering from everything, her body weak, her mind disoriented. But her spirit that was a different matter. And it was something I couldn’t help but respect. She was resilient and I loved women like that.I stood up immediately, makin

DON JULIO The smell of blood was thick in the air briskly, metallic, suffocating. The last echo of gunfire had faded, but the chaos still fire my thoughts. It was freaking unexpected. I had had enough already and I swore to myself as I watched Valentina go down that when I find whoever is doing this, I would erase the names of his whole family from the earth. “ Valentina’s down! ” someone cried. My heart sank. I turned around immediately. Valentina was lying lifeless on the ground and Sarian was beside her, shaking her and begging her to wake up. Her dress and hands covered in Valentina's blood. Shit. This wasn't supposed to happen. My instincts had told me to tell Valentina to stay back at the hotel. Everything inside me snapped. My men redressed with fury. Shots erupted again, lighting up the night. Tires screamed. The masked men tried to escape, but they weren’t fast enough. We shot almost everyone of them down, no mercy. One tried to run into the alley — I refocused on hi

DON JULIO I left the hospital as soon as the theater doors were shut and secretly positioned two of my men at strategic places outside of if the hospital.The night air felt heavy, pressing against my skin like a second skin of sweat and anger.I leaned back in the chair, watching the smoke from the cigar in between my fingers curled up to the ceiling, the room was poorly lit as my eyes surveyed the men gathered before me.Matteo stood closest, his face sharp with something serious The others — Vince, Luca, and Pietro — shifted uneasily, stealing glances at one another like schoolboys waiting to be penalized.If only they knew how I was feeling, they would have excused themselves but I had called them here because I was fed up with some sick bastards leaking my information and location.I said nothing at first. They knew the reason I had called them, they had taken out some investigations but it had been a dead end and maybe they thought I was going to have them punished.The fact

DON JULIO The ride back to my residence felt endless, my hand gripping the steering wheel so hard.I glanced at my wrist watch and it was twelve midnight. I could still picture the shock on the doctor's face when I asked him if he knew what the chip was. I was testing him, hoping he might say something but of course he didn't. I didn't waste another second there and left the hospital immediately.I knew there was something linking us to The Blood Vultures and the others but I didn't really know what it was. And the chip.It could be it.As soon as I swung into the long driveway, I killed the engines and stepped out, pocketing the small chip like it was something precious. Of course it was.Inside, the residence was quiet and the only thing I heard was the chirping of crickets.The strippers from earlier were gone, the air smelled of cheap incense and whiskey.I threw the keys to one of my men, exhaled a little and rolled up my sleeves as I took the stairs two.st a time to my room.
