Semua Bab Veins of Vengeance: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Seraphina’s POVJust then, a tousle-haired seventeen year old in a black tux and tie walks into the yard, dragging his feet across it to the table, his fingers jammed into his pockets, his eyes lazily moving across everyone at the table.I furrow my brows, wondering what was up with him.Without a word, he pulls out a seat and sinks in, ignoring everyone’s gaze.I mean, Dante has never really liked the mafia. Despite being born into it. My younger brother. “What the hell, son?” Don Julio spits out in a voice thick with rage, his hand immediately flying to his waist holster. “How dare you—““I’ll apologize on his behalf!” I blurt out, bolting to my feet, and all eyes in the room turn to me, penetrating.Don Julio stares at me blankly for a few moments, leaning forward in his seat. “I hope you know you’re part of us, now, Seraphina,” he started in a cold, metallic voice. “You’re on our side,” he continued, “as a De Luca. So, you should focus on giving Lazaro healthy kids, and keep you

Seraphina POVI woke up to a dark night and commotion, and quickly throwing the sheets off my body, I bolted out of the room, to the ground floor, where the loud commotion seemed to be coming from.I breezed past one of the elderly housekeepers.“Excuse me, ma’am?” I called out to her, and she turned to me, the panic on her face not doing anything to assuage my fears. “What is going on?”Of course, they would always know the tea.“It’s your father,” she lamented. “Poor Mr. Alvarez…your husband hasn’t stopped hitting the heck out of him ever since he came in and saw you like that in your bed. He…”I didn’t let her finish her report before I bolted off again, towards his study.Holy fuck. What have I done?I arrived at the study just as Lazaro shattered a glass cup on my father’s desk and picked up a shard of it, holding it up to my father’s neck, and a collective gasp rang out in the air.“Lazaro, stop, please!” I screamed, and as my gaze took in my father’s bloodied and bashed-in face

Lazaro's POV I hope she didn't see how hard I was right now. I didn't plan on fucking her this morning but with the way she was testing me—even in my damn sleep, things might spiral out of control if I didn't focus on keeping my breath as steady as possible.I could still feel her gaze on me, devouring my body as much as she can. Taking in what had her screaming in pleasure last night, wanting to touch it again.However, she ended up shaking her head, cursing under her breath over and over again.It seemed like she'd remembered her advances towards me, but I was relieved in a way seeing she didn't regret any of it.I tried so hard not to burst out laughing at how adorable she looked when she covered her ass on her way out, almost as if she didn't believe I was asleep.She was even more perfect last night.She handled my fingers and mouth so damn well that my dick started to stir painfully in my pants for control. Fuck, no woman has ever made me this nervous and obsessed in my entire

Seraphina’s POVI fired up the engine across the highway that led up to my brother’s school, speeding at an alarming km/h, and saying a silent prayer in my heart that I don’t bump into the traffic officers today.I needed to get to my brother as soon as possible, and get back home, before anyone notices.Ever since that public dinner that night, I’d left the stubborn mule a string of texts asking to meet up, as I’ve been sick worried that Don Julio might decide to strike anytime, without warning, and end my brother’s life.I couldn’t let that happen…Dante might be a pain in the ass, but I loved him. Adored him.I wouldn’t sit by and do nothing, like my father.Fifteen minutes later, I revved the engine into the school’s driveway and got out, glancing at my wristwatch.It was past 12 noon already, so this was probably lunch break?I peered over the gate to see students pouring out of the classrooms in groups of two and more, some trickling out alone.I was right. Lunch break. Now, ho

Lazaro’s POVTHREE HOURS EARLIERA knock sounded on my office door, and Jaxon strode in moments later, closing the door quietly behind him.I pulled my gaze from the screen of my desktop to settle it on his face, assessing his features.The tight clench of his jaw told me something wasn’t right.Or a number of things. “What is it?” I demanded, sitting up.He paused a foot away from my desk, resting his gaze on my face. “It’s your wife, she left the house.”I said nothing at first, quietly waiting for him to land properly, because we both knew he hadn’t.“She’d snuck out sometime around noon, in an old, deadbeat car,” Jason added, his arms crossed behind his back. “She went to her brother’s school.”I cursed under my breath, kicking my legs out under the desk. “She did, huh?” I muttered, tapping my finger against the desk and staring off into the distance.“I told you, Lazaro,” Jaxon continued moments later, his voice keen, “she isn’t to be—““Well that’s why I asked you to keep an ey
