Side Story 2: On The Run (R+18) (Trigger Warning BEWARE! Slight Non-Con)

(Trigger Warning BEWARE! Slight Non-Con)(Takes place before the Prologue)Two days later. In an expensive hotel suite in Rome.The quiet hum of the mini fridge and AC was the loudest sound in the suite.Two days.Two days since the bullets had shattered their false sense of security.Since Tony had expertly driven them away from Calabria, ditching the beat-up, bullet-ridden car.‘I even liked that car,’ Angel sighed. ‘It was vintage.’They’d melted into the chaos of a small-town train station, boarding the first high-speed service they could find across Italy—putting miles between them and their unseen hunters.Now they were in Rome.In a suite so enormous and sumptuously decorated in blue sapphire, it felt more like a museum exhibit than a temporary refuge.Expensive.Comfortable.Not quite.Angel sat by the window, idly tracing patterns into the condensation.He was restless.The silence only amplified the frantic beat of his heart.His mind wandered—to his and Tony’s first fight a

Side Story 3: On The Run

(Takes place before the Prologue)“Shoot me, Angel.”The words hung in the air—a challenge, a plea, a silent dare.“You—! You’ve gone mad!” Angel shouted.But Tony only stared into those pretty violet eyes—wide with shock, trembling with horror—his gun shaking in Angel’s delicate grip.The same hands that Tony had always kissed like they were sacred.He reached out without thinking, needing to feel them again—but Angel pulled away.An ugly feeling began to stir inside him. The one he’d been suppressing for so long.The beast.“If it’s you…” Tony whispered, half-prayer, half-threat, “…I don’t mind dying by your hands.”And he meant every word.Twisted. Desperate.True.Because death, delivered by those divine hands? That would feel like mercy.A gift—compared to the daily, gnawing terror of losing Angel to someone else.To something else.He was aware of it—he was becoming an overbearing bastard.A controlling monster.But he couldn't help it.He couldn't stop.He had almost lost Ang

Tony didn't realize he was trembling until Angel pulled back from the kiss.He stared at the beautiful creature in front of him with wonder as he sat there—legs parted to accommodate Angel between them—on the carpeted floor.His hands still rested on Angel’s waist.Tony’s heart felt full—like it would burst any minute.Angel’s lips lingered close to him—still kneeling, fingers were locked behind Tony’s neck.Wet.Parted.His warm breath fanning over Tony’s face.Their eyes met.Forgetting everything—their worries, their fight.The danger that was gaining on them.All Tony saw was the emotion within Angel’s eyes.‘He loves me,’ he wanted to scream and cry with joy.And for the first time ever since they’d run away—since the gun, the tears, the confession—Tony’s heart didn’t race with panic.It beat calmly.Steady.Grounded.Alive.He was still broken, yes.Still bleeding inside.The beast and the darkness were still there.But Angel’s admittance of love had tamed it.They stared at eac

“Well, hello there, Santa De Leones,” she grinned like a grim reaper—dressed in all black.A bone chilling sight.Especially since Tony couldn’t find Angel inside the suite.His heart sank.His eyes twitched.Fingers were itching to take the gun from his waistband behind him.“Long time no see,” he said, flat and dangerous, eyes scanning the surroundings.‘She’s alone.’Tony concluded.The plum curtain was still half drawn like last night.‘No chance of sniper.’But he didn’t stop analyzing everything.The woman’s smile only got wider at his answer, aware of what Tony was thinking.She loved prey that used half of their brain.She was theatrically like her father—both loved seeing people squirm.Then Tony murmured her name like a curse.“Beth.”She was about to reply when suddenly—The suite door clicked open quietly.Scent of coffee filled the air.Angel strolled in wearing Tony’s big black shirt over his own faded blue jeans and white rubber shoes.Headphones—the one they bought in o

Grab.Click.Bang!The gunshot echoed through the suite like thunder in a canyon.Beth’s eyes flared—wide and wet with disbelief and unshed tears.A bullet punched into her chest.“Urk—!”She choked—turning pale—a gurgling sound escaping her lips as blood pooled on her mouth.The scent of blood filled the air.Metallic.Disgusting.Then her limbs went slack.Tony stared at her chest—smoke curling from the bullet hole that he made.It was clear in the morning light.His breathing was ragged.Sweat clung to his skin.Then—Blood dripped. The sound felt so loud.It soaked him—almost.He pushed Beth’s body aside without mercy.She hit the floor like a puppet cut from its strings.Beth lay on her side, her final role.Her blood kept flowing, turning the sapphire colored carpet into dark red beneath her.She wasn't moving.No.Not anymore.And just like that—it was over.‘Fucking finally.’Tony didn’t feel any triumph as he continued to lie there, his back on the floor.Not grief either.I

Side Story 7: On The Run (End)

One Week Later..Tony was grumpy.It was his first official day as the Don of the Santa De Leones.The office?It was one of their family’s legal front businesses—design and furniture.One of many.Tony barked orders, grudgingly signed documents, and spent most of his time scowling.His eyes never left the clock.The moment eleven am hit, he bolted like a tornado, ignoring his employees.Today was Angel’s flight to America.The last full week passed by like a blur.After leaving Rome, they spent two days travelling back to Lake Como, three days resting, dating, and making love.And the last two days of the week?Angel spent it with his useless parents in Florence.Tony was still mad about that.He only got to be with Angel for five full days.Tony gritted his teeth at the thought.Angel’s parents wept.Asked for forgiveness.Claimed they realized their mistake even before Angel was taken by the Luchese family.Before the chaos at Hotel Valgrande.‘Took them long enough.’They said the
