Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 38~ The One Who Tamed Her
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 Chapter 39~ Good Girl
Chapter 39Stacy ⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼It was dark. I was running.“Don’t… don’t come near me,” I muttered under my breath, though I knew it was useless. My legs pumped harder, my shoes skidding against the dirt and roots. But it didn’t matter. Every second, he gained on me. I felt him—his eyes on me like I was prey.I glanced over my shoulder, and there he was, a dark silhouette moving faster than any man should. My heart slammed against my ribs, fear rising, but there was something else, deep in my stomach. It was almost… electric, stirring up a heat that shouldn’t have been there.I tripped over a branch, crashing down hard. My palms slapped against the ground, dirt and leaves sticking to my skin. Before I could even scramble up, a hand wrapped around my ankle, yanking me back“No—” I screamed, kicking, but he was too strong. His grip burned, and even though I fought, the heat inside me surged. His shadow loomed over me, and I knew I should have been terrified.Part of me was— just not my va
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 40~ Old Flames
Chapter 40 Stacy ⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼ New York City, the place I once called home. The streets were the same, the skyline unchanged, but everything about it felt… alien, like a distant memory. I kept my eyes fixed out the window as Vincenzo drove out of the airport, taking in the lively scenery. The cold wind bit at my skin, reminding me of all the nights I had once walked these streets freely. Now, I was just a captive— Vincenzo’s captive, literally shackled by his twisted sense of revenge. My wrists ached under the weight of the cuffs, and the cold metal collar around my neck made every breath feel heavier. Whatever small flicker of humanity or compassion I thought I saw in him these last days was gone, had vanished right before we boarded his jet, replaced by the cold, detached aura he had when he first dragged me to Chicago as his new slave. It was like flipping a switch. One moment, that morning, he was somewhat tolerable, teasing me and being all cocky and the next, he was ruthless a
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 41~ Delilah Syndrome
Chapter 41Vincenzo⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼I never liked Nikolai, and he never liked me either.I knew the feeling was mutual because I’d heard him say it once, not to my face, of course—but he said it to Russel. I hardly gave a damn about what people thought, but that one line stuck with me.My reason was simple: he’s one of the very few things my brother has that I truly envy—a true friend.I do have people, of course. I mean, there’s Aurelio and Vito, for example. But that was just duty and loyalty to their boss and nothing more. They’d kill for me, and I’d kill for them, because that’s what we do in our world. We have each other’s backs. But it’s work loyalty. It’s transactional.Nikolai was different. He was the kind of man who’d burn the world down for my brother. The kind of loyalty no one gives me. Not willingly, anyway.I hated the bastard for it.He’d do anything for Russel, just like his other best friend, Kegan, would. And that was exactly why he was helping me now.If Russel didn’t get
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 42~ His Possession
Chapter 42Stacy⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼“Go ahead without us,” Vincenzo said, waving Nikolai off like he hadn’t just dragged me through their little discussion like I was some fucking handbag. “Perfect.” Nikolai responded with a low sigh of relief, then he stood up and left. They acted like I didn’t even exist. No surprise there—Vincenzo was always a step away from treating me like furniture.But the worst part was, this time, his grip felt different—like something else was going on. His hand around my wrist was iron, pulling me toward the car like a damn leash. My skin burned under his touch, and not in the way I’d ever admit out loud.He yanked the car door so hard that you’d think he had a beef with it. “Get in.”I glared at him, but he didn’t bother waiting for me to finish sulking or do what he just asked—just shoved me inside with the usual roughness and shut the door behind him. A damn dictator, that’s what he was. I wasn’t a person to him. I was a plaything. His possession.He entered too
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 143 ~ Their First Karma
Chapter 43Stacy⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼I’ve never been one to possess self control.It’s almost amusing to think of that now, standing here under the scorching sky, next to Vincenzo’s mother’s tombstone of all places. What did it say about me that I had more issues with the dirt under my nails than the fact that he might just snap my neck before dinner?“You’re quiet,” he observed, his voice like a slow, dangerous melody. “What’s going on in that head of yours, little devil?”I gave him a sweet smile, feeling the tension rising between us like a hot current. “Oh, you know. Just thinking about how you remind me of a cheap cologne—overpowering and leaves a lingering headache.”His dark eyes gleamed with amusement, as he invaded every inch of my personal space. “Funny.” His hand suddenly snaked up behind my throat, fingers wrapping around my neck with a grip that was tight enough to make my pulse quicken but not enough to stop my breathing. “But you’re wrong about the ‘cheap’ part.”My heart did a ri
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 44~ At His Feet
Chapter 44 Stacy ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING⚠️ ⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼ “What the fuck are you?” I roared. If my wrists weren’t cuffed, I would have slapped him so hard he’d have my palm prints branded on his face for years. “A sick psycho? A fucking ritualist? Were you dropped on your head as a kid?” He said nothing, his expression unchanging as he continued to drag me out of the now almost dark woods. My wrist ached from his grip, and from the barbaric cut he’d given me. As much as I tried resisting the constant pull, he wouldn’t let go and so the cut wouldn’t stop bleeding. “Were you raised by some halfwit cavemen?” I continued to rant, because it was all I could do to keep me from going insane. Although it did nothing to stop me from thinking about the fact that I’d practically just been made to bleed for some dead woman. “I wouldn’t call my stepmom and a bunch of Tristiano’s men cavemen,” he responded nonchalantly, his voice laced with exasperation, as if dealing with a petulant child. I glared a
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 45~ Twisted
Chapter 45Stacy ⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼The drive back to Nikolai’s place was awkward, to say the least.Thankfully, Vincenzo left me alone with my thoughts, his usual unreadable self. He didn’t so much as glance in my direction, which was another bonus, because how do I look at him after what he’d just shoved his dick down my throat and then swiftly reminded me how miserable he intends to make my life?The heavy door to Nikolai’s place clicked shut behind us, and that familiar sense of dread washed over me. It wasn’t just the grand, sterile hallways or the coldness in the air—it was the unsettling feeling of being trapped with two of them.I followed Vincenzo, my stomach churning with unease. My mind was still buzzing from everything that had happened, while he moved with his usual air of indifference.The moment we stepped into the foyer, Nikolai appeared at the top of the staircase, his eyes sweeping over us. His gaze lingered on me for a second longer than I liked before he focused on Vincenzo,

Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 81~ Control
Chapter 81Vincenzo⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼She was fuming, but that served me well. I returned to the sitting room where Vito and Aurelio were waiting once again, their postures stiff. I settled back into the chair, the leather groaning under my weight as I poured myself another glass of whiskey. The warmth slid down my throat, but it did nothing to calm the fire burning through me.My mind stayed in that room upstairs, where Stacy was no doubt pacing like a caged animal, spitting curses that couldn’t touch me. The memory of her glare—sharp enough to flay a man alive—made the corner of my mouth twitch.She wanted to act bold, sauntering around half-dressed like she owned the place. By the time I was done with her, she’d understand that I owned her.Aurelio cleared his throat, snapping me back to the moment. He and Vito sat across from me, the look on their faces confirming that something was very wrong, but they didn’t seem to know how to put it into words. Aurelio’s elbows rested on his knees, hi
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 80~ Goddamn Distraction
Chapter 80Stacy⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼Vincenzo was very mad at me, again. He let Luca drive Allesia, let Vito ride with them, but he insisted I ride with him, and worse, sit in the passenger seat. The disapproving look of anger, disappointment and maybe hatred he constantly gave me was practically a living, breathing thing. He didn’t say a word to me since we left the mall, even through the ride, his brooding silence and the occasional suspicious looks he gave me were as loud as any argument. Not that I cared.Okay, I cared a little.Fine—a lot.But I wasn’t about to let him know that.If Vincenzo suspected I had something up my sleeve—and knowing him, he already did—he wouldn’t rest until he tore apart every thread of my lies. God help me if he demanded the security footage from the mall. If he saw even a glimpse of my meeting with Elixir, it would be over. Not just for me, but for everything I’d been working toward.The man didn’t trust me as far as he could throw me—well, not without a plan
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 79~ Suspicious
Chapter 79 Stacy ⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼ I’ve had near death encounters in the past, today felt like the worst. The mirror bit into my back, cold and unforgiving, but it was nothing compared to the heat of his body pressed against mine. His hand was tangled in my hair, the sharp pull forcing my head back until my eyes met his in the reflection. “Look at yourself,” Vincenzo growled, his voice low and edged with something primal. “See what you do to me.” His eyes burned into mine, dark and unrelenting, and I hated the way he knew just how that made me feel, my breaths coming quick and shallow. I tried to push against him, to claw back even an inch of control, but his grip tightened, and I froze as the sting shot through my scalp. “Fighting me again?” His smirk twisted cruelly, his other hand sliding up my thigh, dragging the hem of my dress higher. “You don’t learn, do you,? Maybe that’s why I enjoy this so damn much.” I hated him. Hated how he could strip me bare, even when I was fully clothed
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 78~ You’re Slipping
Chapter 78Vincenzo⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼I hate being played for a fool. The phone nearly slipped from my hand, but I tightened my grip, my body freezing before it erupted with raw fury. “Jesus, Vito,” I dragged a hand down my face, “A fucking mall! She could be anywhere, for fucks sake, she could be halfway across the country by now!” Vito stammered on the other end, his fear palpable even through the static. “She… she slipped away, boss. One minute she was in front of me, and the next—gone.”My blood ran cold, then boiled just as fast. “And you’re telling me this so I can call for you? How long has she been missing?”There was a pause, heavy with hesitation. “About thirty minutes, maybe less. We thought she—”I cut him off, my patience gone. “You thought? You thought wrong, Vito. I don’t pay you to think—I pay you to act. If she isn’t found in the next ten minutes, you’d better hope you disappear too.” Before he could say something else, I added, “Have that fucking mall locked down until I ge
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 77~ Vanished
Chapter 77Vincenzo⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼The scent of saltwater and diesel hit me first—a deeply unpleasant reminder that I wasn’t in bed where I belonged. Instead, I was standing on the docks at an ungodly hour. Well, maybe not so ungodly if I were following Russel’s logic, but still.The cold wind sliced through my coat and bit at my neck, making me curse every life choice that had led me here.Declan had picked this fucking spot well. Neutral territory, or so he thought. A place where neither side had the upper hand, but I couldn’t care less. Neutrality meant nothing when my brothers and I didn’t play by the same rules as the Irish.Russel walked ahead of me, his posture tense but calm, the perfect diplomat. I knew he’d been rehearsing his speech for hours, carefully piecing together whatever excuses he thought would smooth things over after my little… mishap with Dante’s cargo.Too bad I had no intention of apologizing.“You’re late,” a gravelly voice greeted us as we stepped onto the dock. Th
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 76~ Thirty Men
Chapter 76Stacy ⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼By the time we left the boutique, Vito and Luca had to make three trips to the car with bags full of clothes, shoes, baby stuff and accessories.“Now that we’ve got the essentials,” Allesia said with an exaggerated stretch, “let’s go to the mall. It’s a perfect time to really stock up, that house has everything but food in it.” Vito’s hands gripped the steering wheel even tighter, but there was no escaping it. He barely muttered a response, only the occasional grunt of resignation. Luca, ever the silent observer, let his body language do the talking. He looked tense, but that wasn’t going to stop Allesia.We drove for another mile, the city sprawling out in front of us. And then—bam—there it was. A giant billboard plastered with a photo of none other than Allesia Mancini herself.“Ahhh!” Allesia squealed. “That’s me! That’s me! Oh my God, I look amazing!” She was practically vibrating with excitement, and I couldn’t suppress my eye roll. The sound of her voi
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 75~ Shopping
Chapter 75 Stacy ⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼ By the time I woke up again that morning, Vincenzo had left with Marcel and Russel to handle some business. Perfect. I’d half-expected him to leave me with some ridiculous restriction, his little promise last night forgotten, but he actually surprised me by making good on his promise and informing Vito to pick up all the things I’d need for me. Restless energy coursed through me. Waiting around for Vito to bring back his idea of ‘stuff Stacy needs’ wasn’t exactly thrilling. If he got his way, I’d end up with plain, functional dresses that wouldn’t inspire a single spark of joy. No, I didn’t survive nearly being turned into a tomboy only to end up in nun girl dresses. I needed to get out myself, to feel some semblance of normalcy. Now I just had to figure out how. I found Vito in the kitchen, munching on a sandwich and sipping his coffee, his eyes downcast and his usual brooding aura in full force. He barely acknowledged me as I slid onto the bars
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 74~ Meeting
Chapter 74 Vincenzo ⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼ Several groggy steps later and I found myself outside my door. My waist hurts from all the work it did last night, Fuck separate rooms, I’ve got to rid this house of all of my brothers so I wouldn’t have to worry about sneaking back into my own room at 4 AM like a rebel teenager. In my own fucking house. Pfft. I pushed the door open, rubbing my temple, and flipped on the light, only to freeze in shock. Marcel was sprawled out on my bed, one leg hanging off the side, looking like he’d been waiting up for me all night. “What the fuck are you doing here?” I snapped, my voice low but laced with irritation. Marcel propped himself up on one elbow, smirking like he’d been waiting for this moment his entire life. “I think the question is where the fuck are you sneaking in from—and, what happened to your clothes?” He pointed to the gym shorts I had on, clearly a size too small, barely hanging onto my hips. “Wait, isn’t that a female’s…?” Before h
Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta Chapter 73~ Spooning
Chapter 73Stacy⟻⟼ ✦ ⟻⟼By the time we staggered out of the shower, I was beyond spent— weak, sore, my entire body shaking like I’d run a marathon. It was nearly four in the morning, and he was still here. My heart still beat lazily from the countless times he’d had me, again and again, like his appetite was a bottomless well. What was supposed to be a sneaky sex had somehow spiraled into Vincenzo spending the entire night in my room, our bodies tangled like we were all that existed in the world.I’d never had this much sex in my life, and he made sure there wasn’t an inch of me he hadn’t explored, claimed, and left tingling with satisfaction.I tried to roll over, but his arm clamped around me like a bear trap, pressing me to his bare chest. We’d swapped positions so many times, I wasn’t even sure which way was up anymore. Right now, he was spooning me, but not even half an hour ago, he’d done a full 180, grabbing my arm and pulling it over himself like he was starved for a cuddl
