Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 31~ My Mess
Chapter 31Vincenzo °° °° °° °°I didn’t need light to see her— she lay sprawled across the bed, her face pale, her chest rising and falling with shallow breaths. She looked tortured—forehead glistening with sweat, lips cracked and dry. Vito stood by the window, arms crossed, his face etched with concern. “She hasn’t eaten in nearly two days,” he said quietly, keeping his voice low, maybe not to wake her. “I’ve tried, but she barely gets in a spoonful before clamping those stubborn lips shut.”I found myself almost smiling, “Shouldn’t you be glad she’s finally giving your ear a break?” “I should,” Vito conceded, “But she’s out of it most of the time. Between constantly checking if she still has a pulse and jumping in joy, I don’t know which is more tedious.” The smile faded just as soon as it appeared, “Any improvement since the call?”“Sleeping now, but that won’t last.” I glanced at Stacy, her body limp, small and fragile against the massive bed. Her breathing was uneven, lik

Chapter 32 Stacy °° °° °° °° I stared at the bathroom door, the pressure in my bladder growing unbearable. The room swayed slightly, Vincenzo’s steady breathing next to me filling the space. He looked peaceful for once, and I couldn’t bring myself to disturb him. How hard could it be? Gritting my teeth, I carefully slid my good leg off the bed. The cold floor beneath my foot made me shiver, I hesitated before attempting to stand. The moment my injured leg made contact, pain shot through me like a bolt of lightning. Before I could stop myself, a yelp escaped my throat. “Agh!” Vincenzo jolted awake instantly, his eyes landing on me. “What the hell are you doing?” “I just— I needed to pee,” I stammered, feeling completely ridiculous. He ran a hand through his messy hair, his expression caught between irritation and concern. “You couldn’t wait? Or maybe, I don’t know, wake me up so you don’t kill yourself?” “I didn’t want to bother you. You’ve barely slept.” “Well, now I’m not,

Chapter 33Vincenzo ⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼I watched her sleep.Her fever had finally broken, though she still looked pale. The stubborn little mouse had been fighting me all day. But tonight… was too weak to argue much, and I had no patience for her foolish pride either.Her chest rose and fell steadily now, a stark contrast to the labored breathing she had earlier. I should’ve left her alone, let her deal with it, but something kept pulling me back. It wasn’t just obligation.I kept telling myself it was because she was valuable. Stacy Salvatore. The girl whose family dragged mine through hell. She was leverage. And yet, seeing her like this, fragile and worn down, I couldn’t bring myself to think of her as just another tool.I turned away from the bed, trying to shove the unwelcome thoughts aside. I wasn’t here to save her. I wasn’t her knight in shining armor. If anything, I was the monster keeping her locked in a tower, making sure she couldn’t run. The quiet sound of her breathing filled th

Chapter 34 Vincenzo ⚠️TRIGGER WARNING⚠️ ⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼ Bloodstone Lane was as much a fortress as it was a playground. Anyone who got past the doors knew the rules: what happened inside stayed inside. The outside world didn’t exist here. For the right price, everything was for sale—including lives. Getting to Gielio wasn’t going to be easy, but I hadn’t come this far to leave without him. I tugged at the sleeve of my tailored suit as we entered the club. Liam had done his job well in securing us the invites that came with every item we’d be needing for the masquerade party of bitches. The anonymity was perfect; no one here cared who you were as long as you had money, power, and a willingness to play along with the disgusting sin behind these walls. Fi, though irritated at having to sit this one out— had to understand. It would have been too risky for her to try to sneak in here. No women were allowed unless they were part of the entertainment. I had Vito and Aurelio with me, both

Chapter 35Vincenzo ⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼Gielio, meanwhile, watched from the corner, a twisted grin on his face. “Such a surprise,” he cackled, clapping slowly. “You think you’re better than us? That’s cute. And look at you now, fighting for your life in my club. I bet your daddy’s proud.”Ricci launched another punch, catching me off guard, but I quickly retaliated, driving my knee into his gut and knocking the air from his lungs. “I swear, Ricci, I didn’t take your son,” I gritted out between blows. “If anything, we had a truce and you violated it by coming at me, I should be pissed.” “You took my son first!”“I didn’t! We had a fucking truce!” “My truce was with Tristiano,” Ricci hissed, “But you’ve gotten him killed because you wanted all the power for yourself, haven’t you?”I caught Ricci’s fist mid-swing, twisting his arm and sending him crashing into a side table. “That hurt my feelings, you know?” I hissed in feigned annoyance, “Use your damn head!” I growled, delivering a quick jab to

Chapter 36Stacy ⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼My skin prickled as soon as I heard the door creak open.And there he was, dark, cold, and even more dangerous than he looked when he left— Vincenzo. The man moved like a predator returning to its den, his eyes sharp, calculating. The air in the room shifted, suddenly turning to Nitrogen in my lungs. I pressed my back against the wall, desperately trying to make myself smaller.Blissfully unaware of the tension curling in my chest, Vincenzo stepped inside, the door creaking shut behind him. Then he flicked the switch and bright light flooded the room, sealing me in his presence. I had no time to even pretend I was asleep. His eyes swept across the room until they landed on me, almost like he’d been dying to do that since. He didn’t speak, simply stood there, his breathing steady but labored.His once perfect white shirt was now stained with blood, splatters I could only imagine came from whoever had the misfortune of being in his way tonight. But his face

Chapter 37Vincenzo⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼What the fuck just happened? My chest heaved, breath short, and for a moment, I couldn’t believe what I’d done. She had bewitched me—me, Vincenzo, the one who never let emotions get in the way of control. But now… Her taste still lingered, an unwanted brand on my lips. I cursed myself, every fiber of me rebelling against the moment of weaknessBut God, did she taste amazing.The worst part was I didn’t know if I hated her more for making me feel this way or hated myself for giving in to it. My entire body was on fire. Her lips, her soft skin, the way she melted against me, her hands in my hair. I could still feel it, and I wanted to feel it again.I shook my head in frustration. This was a mistake, the worst thing I could have done. Fucking Eustacia Salvatore would be the greatest sin in the history of sins. Yeah, you said that before. Yet you went ahead to fucking kiss her! Fuck me! Oh, I’ll gladly offer myself to her to do just that. She was the enem

Chapter 38Vincenzo⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼There was something primal about the anticipation of violence.Part of it was the way people gathered like vultures, waiting for the first drop of blood to hit the floor.Gielio. That piece of shit wasn’t worth the dirt under my shoes. A predator who’d slithered his way through life untouched. Until now.I gave Ricci the truth straight from his son’s mouth last night. The bastard had refused to believe it, even when it was staring him in the face, so I beat a confession out of Gielio last night. There’s only so much denial a man can choke on before it kills him. I could see the shift when Ricci realized it. Gielio would die. But not before I made him bleed for every scream he silenced.The crowd downstairs was waiting, restless. My fingers flexed at my side as I rode the elevator, already imagining the sounds of bones crunching, the sickening thud of flesh hitting the floor.For a man who’d survived everything else—by preying on the weak, Gielio had final

Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chatter 107~ Not Your Call
Chapter 107Vincenzo⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼“The hair does match, but she’s too overdressed, which is unlike her.” The cigar in my hand burned steadily, wisps of smoke curling into the dim air of my study as Vito leaned over the desk, pointing to a grainy photo on my laptop screen. His voice was calm but edged with urgency.“Outside of Palermo,” he said. “We’ve had reports of her moving with a small group of Irish men who were trying a little too hard to blend in. No confirmation yet, but the timing matches. They might be keeping it low, but she’s alive.”I exhaled slowly, and watched the smoke drift toward the ceiling as my mind worked through the implications. Alive. That could mean a lot of things, it could mean I still had to kill her with my own hands. It could mean Russel would find her first and do it anyway. It could mean Dante might get her first and withdraw from whatever agreement we had. Or it could be a direct contradiction to everything Valente told me, which would mean I’d still hav
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 106~ Your First Mistake
Chapter 106Vincenzo⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼The villa reeked of her.I never liked her, not even as a kid when she’d parade around in her silk dresses, pretending to play the perfect wife while twisting knives into my father’s back. Hell, she’d never liked anything concerning me either. Maybe that was the one thing we had in common.The men in this place went down like dominoes, pathetic to the last. She always surrounded herself with men who looked the part but crumbled the moment you applied pressure. A quick choke, a snap of the wrist, and they folded. I didn’t bother watching them hit the ground, I was already halfway up the stairs.She was working with the Irish. Against her own blood. Against her own children. And for what? A scrap of power she’d never actually hold? A seat at a table where no one respected her? Revenge on me? It would’ve been laughable if it wasn’t so goddamn infuriating. My men had already fanned out, securing the lower levels of the house. I made my way upstairs with V
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 105~ He Murdered Her
Chapter 104Stacy⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼He murdered her.The thought circled endlessly in my mind, like a cruel pendulum swinging back and forth, slamming into me every time. He murdered her.I was still sat in that cold, damp cell, my legs still strapped in unforgiving metal chains. My tears had dried hours ago, leaving my cheeks stiff and raw. Nisca’s head rested in my lap, her lifeless body sprawled awkwardly, her once-bright eyes now dull and glassy. My hands were covered in blood, either hers or mine, I wasn’t sure.When Clyde dragged her in last night, limp and wrapped in a sack, I thought I might’ve been hallucinating. It wouldn’t have been the first time my mind played tricks on me. But then they ripped the sack off her head and tossed her at my feet like garbage.“You must be lonely,” Clyde had said, his voice dripping with smug satisfaction. “I brought you a companion.”That companion was Nisca. But it was not the smiling, love sick girl who’d tried to protect us when they barged into
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 104~ Dead Bodies Don’t Speak
Chapter 104 Vincenzo ⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼ FEW WEEKS AGO Chains dangled from the ceiling, the metallic clang echoing every time Valente twitched, which was often. He was tied to a steel chair, wrists strapped so tightly that blood trickled down his arms in sluggish streams. His face was a mess….swollen, bloody, barely recognizable as human after the first round. I flexed my knuckles, the blood coating them sticky and warm. “You scream like a woman, Valente. Did your mother raise you that way, or is this just your natural state?” “Please,” he gasped, spitting blood onto the floor. One of his teeth clattered to the ground like a broken pearl. “Please, Vincenzo—” “Please?” I crouched in front of him, gripping his chin so tightly his jaw cracked under the pressure. “You think ‘please’ is a magic word? Jesus, what are you, a nun?” He whimpered, his bloodshot eyes darting toward the door like he thought salvation might walk through it. “Let me explain something to you,” I said, my voice dropping
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 104~ Over My Dead Body
Chapter 103Stacy⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼I’d worn cuffs too many times to not recognize the feel of them.The cold air stung my skin as I sat curled on the stone floor, hands trembling despite my effort to steady them. The dim light overhead flickered, barely enough to chase away the suffocating darkness that pressed against the walls of this room. No, it was a cell…my cell. Where the hell am I?Was I hallucinating? Oh yeah, my mind must be playing games, dating back to the time when I was shackled up in that tiny room in Russel’s warehouse, listening to my father scream while Russel took pieces off his skin. I’ve had those before. But why did it feel so real today? I had no idea how long I’d been here. Hours? Days? It was all a blur of rough voices outside the dark, chains scraping against cement when I moved, and the unmistakable sound of Irish men moving around like wolves waiting for the kill. Did Vincenzo capture me again? But Vincenzo is not Irish. Dante? Why would he want me chained up a
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 102~ An Out
Chapter 102 Vincenzo⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼Russel asked Nikolai to babysit me. Well, not technically, but having him follow me around for the last two weeks could be considered babysitting at this point.He thought I was fucked.The chair beneath me groaned, probably in sympathy with my irritation. Meanwhile, Dante sprawled across from me like he owned the damn world, oozing arrogance. And maybe Russel was right, because the only reason the man was still breathing was Nikolai.“You must be losing your touch if it took this long to find me,” Dante drawled, casually reaching for the glass of water in front of him. He was mocking me with every second he wasted. “Perhaps I wasn’t hiding. Did you think of that, Vincenzo?”I didn’t respond.My patience was hanging by a thread. No, not even a thread. It was barely hanging by a single hair. My mind felt like it was on fire, fueled by two weeks of sleepless nights, numerous dead ends, and the glaring absence of activity in my life.I’d gotten too used to t
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 101~ Wildcard
Chapter 101Stacy⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼TWO WEEKS LATERI’d escaped a physical prison only to end up in an emotional hell. There’s something uniquely pathetic about sitting cross-legged on the floor of a shoebox apartment, trying to piece your life back together. And by ‘life,’ I mean the sad collection of my father’s business files Elixir managed to stack away from the Mancinis.I shoved aside a cracked snow globe, its tiny Eiffel Tower missing, and yanked out the next item. A silk tie, flamingo pink. Flamingo. Pink.“Nisca!” I hollered, holding up the offending accessory like it was a dead rat. “What the hell is this?”Her voice floated in from the small kitchen. “Vintage Versace. You’re welcome.”“Vintage or not, it’s hideous.” I dropped it back into the box like it might bite me and leaned back against the wall, staring at the disaster surrounding me. Nisca, my former chief maid and Elixir’s sister, who was two years older than me, strolled into the room, a mug of coffee in one hand and a big
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 100~ It’ll Burn
Chapter 100 Vincenzo ⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼ She was gone. Gone. And I felt like the biggest fool alive. I’d woken up this morning, expecting to see her tangled in the sheets beside me, maybe still asleep, looking as sinful as she had the night before when she curled up on my chest. I’d told her—like an idiot—how much I cherished her. How much I couldn’t bear to lose her. She never said it back. But I hadn’t noticed. Not then. The bed was empty, but I hadn’t panicked. Why would I? Stacy liked her showers long, her coffee black, and her hair styled perfectly. I convinced myself she was probably in the bathroom or out on the balcony. I spent the first thirty minutes on the phone with Russel, going over Valente’s latest tantrum. Then I made calls to my men about the shipment in the Englewood warehouse. Approved it. Sent a text. And then decided to join her in the bathroom, maybe drag her back to bed for another round. The bathroom was empty. Still, I hadn’t panicked. Not yet. I’d checked th
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 99~ Love Doesn’t Erase Bloodshed
Chapter 99Stacy⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼I couldn’t sleep a wink. It wasn’t just the sex—though that was seared into my brain like some sort of branding iron. It was the way he’d looked at me after. Vulnerable, almost human. Like maybe, I was no longer the daughter of the man who murdered his mother. And then, of course, he had to ruin it by saying something ridiculous like, “My demons have fallen in love with your darkness.”What was that even supposed to mean? I’d spent the last hour staring at the ceiling, blushing like some lovesick idiot. Me. Blushing. Because of Vincenzo Mancini, the man who once dragged me kicking and screaming into his hell and cuffed me like a prized animal. And he was sleeping so peacefully beside me, nose buried deep in my air like he was taking in oxygen, hand sprawled possessively across my waist. I needed air.Sliding quietly out of bed, I grabbed the bloodied shirt Vincenzo had tossed on the chair earlier—it still smelled like him, damn it—and crept out onto the te
