Consumed by the Mafia Ch. 12 - The Waiter's Game
Amy POV"Maybe we need to collide more often." I smiled seductively, images of him backing me into the bathroom playing in my head. A little pleasure would be a nice adventure to get the tiredness to rest for a bit. Sex always had a way of easing all my discomforts. "I would like that." His fingers brushed my face, green eyes locking onto mine, like I was something he needed to own for a few hours. God, I wanted to kiss him, just get lost in his large hands and tall body. But this was wrong. I can't do that now, here at my little cousin's birthday. "I should get back. We're about to do the cake. But maybe..." I gestured vaguely toward the party."Or," he leaned in slightly as he held up a tray of champagne flutes, "we could sneak off and have our own dessert."His teasing tone wrapped around me like silk, smooth but edged with command.I should say no. Something about this moment felt off. But the thrill of it was intoxicating.I bit the side of my lip. "Maybe just one drink," I mur

Lucy POV"Can I have my keys now?"I had spent the whole night avoiding him, but I finally gathered enough nerve to confront Michael. The second his dark blue eyes flicked to mine, my confidence completely disappeared. Why did he have to be so intimidating?"The night isn't over. Cake is about to be served." His voice was dismissive, and posture tense, like he'd rather be anywhere but here.I sighed in frustration just as Marie stepped onto the patio, balancing the enormous rocket-shaped cake. I stepped closer to the crowd, excitement bubbling inside me. Everyone began erupting into song, and I moved closer, smiling at Mikie's wide-eyed amazement.Amy should be here. She would love this.I scanned the yard, singing along with everyone else, but something felt off. My stomach twisted in discomfort. Where was Amy? Movement from the back patio caught my eye. It was Zander shoving his way through the crowd, his face twisted in panic.My brows knitted together. What in the world was he do

Michael POVSmoke curled through the air, thick and suffocating, the heat of the explosions still searing my skin. I barely stumbled back to my feet before the chaos truly set in. Screams. Gunfire. The acrid scent of burning flesh.Lucy had run inside, slipping through the smoke before I could catch her, but Amy, where the fuck was Amy? I couldn't remember the last time I saw her. I had been distracted, caught off guard, and now I was lost, unsure of my surroundings and who was accounted for.My eyes darted to Niko, who was struggling to extinguish the flames on his arm. Panic started to crawl up my spine, but I shoved it down, forcing myself to focus. Viv was on the ground, her kids huddled beneath her, half her face burned.I grabbed her chin, not the injured side, and forced her to look at me. "You good?""I'll live," she rasped, her wild eyes locked on Niko. "Where's Amy?"My gut twisted as I scanned the wreckage. "I don't know." I admitted with fury. It was like I was in a haze

Michael POV All my blood rushed to my head, pounding my skull and demanding someone's death. The car ride was a blur of suffocating heat and clattering metal, the trunk a tomb I could barely breathe in. As the minutes dragged on, I listened to the men up front talk about the so-called "fun" they would be having tonight, including the twisted plans they had for the girls they'd taken. Every vile word sent a shiver through me, but it was the sharp intake of breath from the other captive that made my rage boil over. The sound was small, weak, pathetic. I clenched my fists, resisting the brief, irrational urge to silence her myself. It seemed easier than listening to her cry. The voices around me blended together, Irish accents thick with mockery, and Italian tones that made my stomach churn. A few of the voices were even familiar. This wasn't just the Irish attacking Niko. It was a joint effort from the Irish gang that had set up shop here a few years ago, and men from my own blo

Lucy POVI thought I was brave, running after my best friend, trying to save her life. I was just stupid though. My face stung from being punched by a large man, my eyes burned from crying for so long, my heart ached both from the fear inside me and the fear I had for Amy. To top it all off, my savior in this horrible mess, was Michael. The one man I feared more than anything else in this world.Michael searched the dead men that took us, the men he killed. He flipped their bodies like they were just piles of blankets, pocketing their cash and credit cards. "Find me and pick me up!" Michael barked into one of the phones then dropped it on the floor."Are we going home?" I asked shakily. Michael seemed to be in the zone. It was like I could actually see his mind weaving his next move, and it terrified me."No speaking!" He ordered, grabbing my wrist to head out the only door this dark cold place had. For a brief moment my body relaxed. His large hand wrapped around me, tightening to

Amy POVI woke to a pounding skull, my limbs sluggish, my tongue thick in my mouth. A chemical taste clung to my throat.My eyes blurred in and out of focus, a soft leather beneath me, the scent of wood and whiskey in the air. Memories hit me like a slap to the face. The party. The Irishman. The rag over my mouth.My stomach twisted. I wasn't home. I wasn't safe. Why was I so reckless?"You're awake... finally." Kyle mumbled as he ruffled through papers on a dark oak desk. "How long have I been asleep?" I glanced at the window, the sun hidden in the sky. I needed to get a grip of what was happening. I didn't feel in danger, but I wasn't stupid either. This wasn't my house and I was drugged and dragged away in the middle of the night. Kyle glanced at his watch. "Almost 5 hours."I took a moment to take in my surroundings. Michael always taught me to know all possibilities. My mind tried playing out different scenarios, different approaches and outcomes, but I was too impatient for ga

Michael POV "Holy crap! We are actually alive." Lucy's hands carefully touched every little detail of the dashboard.I let out a slow breath, my grip tightening on her waist before I even realized it. It wasn't intentional, I just needed to feel something solid.She was solid. Alive. I hated how much relief that gave me."Who's the chick?" Vinnie chuckled, amusement in his eyes as he watched Lucy drool over his pride and joy. "No one important. Drive!" I ordered him, sliding my hands off Lucy and grabbed his phone from the middle console and began typing away. I needed answers, and I needed the location of my sister."Are you going to fill me in?" Vinnie questioned after ten minutes of suffocating silence."My Uncles aligned with Declan. They attacked Niko's mansion and took Amy." My grip tightened around his phone. "We need to move fast." The phone rang through with five messages, giving me a moment to relax the homicidal rage I fought to hold back. One of my contacts replied that

Lucy POV My stomach twisted the second we pulled up to some building that was barely standing, the streetlights flickering like they were moments from dying, and the eyes. Too many eyes. People on the sidewalk slowed as they passed. Some whispered. Some just stared, their faces unreadable. We didn't belong here. I sucked in a breath. "Michael, this... this doesn't feel safe." He didn't even look at me. "We're fine." "Are we?" My fingers tightened around my dress. "Because everyone out there is staring at us like they want us dead." "That sounds racist," Vinnie chuckled, unbothered. He popped open the door like we were in some friendly neighborhood. I grabbed Michael's wrist before he could move. "Don't. Please. We should go home." Finally, he looked at me. A smirk played on his lips. "Jesus, Lucy. You shake like a leaf every time you step outside your gated life." "This isn't paranoia," I hissed. "It's common sense!" He exhaled, glancing out the window. A few men had stoppe

Michael POV"Come in," I ordered."You needed me?" Paul walked in, looking unamused to be summoned."Take Lucy to school, and from now on, don't make a single order unless I approve it," I said, lying back down. A wave of exhaustion suddenly hit me."If that is what you think is best, boss." Paul had all attitude laced in his words. He was punk for a dinosaur."Do you have a problem with me becoming Capo, Paul? We can easily resolve it." I nodded to Vinnie who walked in behind him. He looked terrified and tried stepping back out the door. "Get in here!" I yelled at him.Lucy rushed out in an oversized shirt and baggy jeans. "What is happening?" She asked, looking at Paul and then Vinnie."Paul is going to take you to school and make sure you're safe. Right, Paul? You seem to like being attached to her side.""We have a meeting you called at 3:30." Paul clenched his jaw. "Unless you don't want your Second to attend. It would be a good way to make us look weak again.""Listen, Paul," V
Consumed by the Mafia Ch. 63 - Nothing Strenuous
Michael POVI was pissed I woke alone but determined to get over this whole recovery process. Two more doctors met me in the morning, neither having the solutions I wanted. "Did you get what I needed?" I asked Vinnie the second he walked into my room. "Wouldn't disobey my Capo." He mocked and threw a bag at me. "Want to bend over and I stick it in you." He chuckled.Both doctors gave me a concerned look but they could go to hell. "They are the professionals and it can go in my arm, jackass." I pulled out the bottle and ordered one of the doctors to come to me."That's not advised." He warned."Wasn't asking." I handed him the steroids and they gave each other a look. "I'll eat plenty of protein, take all my vitamins, and chug nothing other than water, but that can't be all. I need to recover faster. Steroids, facet injections, cortisol, whatever there is, I'm filling my body to the brim with it over the next three weeks. After that, I should be good with my own exercise regime to he
Consumed by the Mafia Ch. 62 - Rest
Michael POV"We needed to draw out the enemy outside the house." She replied, small tears slipping from her eyes."We? You aren't we. You are supposed to be in school. You will not go to another event. You will not take part in any of this..." I grunted, my hand releasing her arm, and grabbed my chest. I had her caged against the wall, but I was no threat."Michael, you should rest." Her hands came to my face, her touch so soft and gentle. "Rest?" I chuckled. "How can I rest when everyone around me has lost their minds?""I'm sorry. I was just trying to protect you." "Protect me? That's not how this works!""You can barely stand." She countered."Amy has already made it very clear that I'm weak. I don't need another lecture." I clenched my jaw, anger fading as I watched those eyes look over me. Concern, fear, maybe even love, staring at me."There's more power in my position than my body. You want to flush them out, then invite them in." I glared at her a moment, wanting to spew not

Michael POVThe second my eyes opened again I grabbed Vinnie's phone to text him. It hadn't even been 48 hours since I woke up in this alternate universe and I was already stir crazy. I was not surviving months of bed rest.'Send me my doctor.' I texted.'It's almost midnight.' He replied.'Don't care. I need some steroids.' I tossed the phone to the side.It dinged again but I ignored his dumb comments about not needing any more rage in my blood.'Where's Lucy?' I texted back. She should be home, hopefully, this home and not her actual home. 'Safe and sound. I know how much she means to you.' He added a wink at the end and I wasn't sure if he meant because I was somehow obsessed with her, or because of the fake pregnancy.I got up, needing some fuel before I passed out again. The doctor was about to knock as I opened my door though. I stared him down like I wanted to eat his heart out. "You called for me, Capo." He said with a shaky voice. He was old, like really old. "Can you eve

Lucy POV"This is unbelievable." I shoved Vinnie off me. He was practically sitting in my lap in the back seat of the car."Michael told me to keep my eyes on you all night." His gaze swept over me, lingering at the slit down my chest like a creep."Michael will rip your eyes out if you keep looking at me like that." I clenched my fists in my lap."He'd never kill me," Vinnie shot back, smug.Paul sighed, clearly over it. "Removing your eyes wouldn't kill you. Enough games, Vinnie. We need to focus.""He should stay in the car," I snapped, shooting Paul a look that begged for backup. I hated Vinnie's childish, flirty attitude."Michael just woke up. Let's not piss him off yet," Paul muttered, flipping a page in the book he'd been pretending to read. He was tired of this charade too, but not enough to go against Viv's orders."What's the big deal anyway?" Vinnie asked. "It's a charity gala, not a war zone.""Michael has enemies. It's better to be ready than dead." Paul's tone stayed fl

Michael POVAfter Viv left, I collapsed back into bed, needing just a little more time. The painkillers dulled the ache, but in return, they numbed everything else. I could sleep for days, maybe weeks.In the quiet, I made a mental checklist: who needed to be found, who needed to be killed. I needed my computer. Sitting up slowly, I scanned the room. Where the hell was my computer? My phone? I dragged myself over to the desk and flipped the wall display on. Static.I stared at the screens, the white noise crackling in front of me. "I'm supposed to believe this is legit?" I muttered. "Feels more like a prison.""You don't look too bad." The moment Amy's voice reached me, I couldn't help but smile. I'd been pushing it out of my mind, but the fear that they'd hurt her was gnawing at me."Nothing I can't handle," I shot back with a cocky grin, turning to her standing in my doorway. Her gaze fell to the bandage peeking from my buttoned shirt, exposing part of the scar."Yeah, well, you lo
Consumed by the Mafia Ch. 58 - Losing Battle
Lucy POVI held a pair of diamond earrings up to my face, then switched to blue sapphires. It was surreal: me, in this dress, preparing for an event like I belonged here. The halter neckline dipped low from the waist, revealing just enough to feel bold without being inappropriate. The fabric flowed to my ankles with two high slits, the perfect blend of sensuality and sophistication. But it wasn't me."Gorgeous, Miss," Marie said, stepping in with a blue butterfly pin for my updo of curls.Vivian always wore a butterfly or flower in her hair for evening events. And now, so did I.I was expected to take her place seamlessly, despite the fact that I wasn't married to the Capo, and I was much younger than she had been when she stepped into this role."Thank you," I murmured shyly, finally choosing the sapphire earrings to match the deep blue fabric of the dress. My reflection looked flawless with porcelain skin and polished makeup. I had wondered what kind of magic was in the foundation t

Michael POVIt took me twenty minutes just to get out of bed and pull on a damn shirt. I couldn't even button it fully. I felt like absolute hell, like death warmed over."Why are you up?" V walked in, wearing that familiar look of motherly irritation. "Lucy said you were in a mood.""A mood? I've been shot," I snapped, gripping the edge of the mattress as pain radiated from my chest. A thick bandage ran between my pecs and down my stomach."And you had open-heart surgery. You need months of rest to fully heal... months you don't have." V moved beside me, her fingers tugging my shirt together as she finished buttoning me up.I didn't argue. The silence between us stretched until I asked the question that had been burning in my chest."Who was behind this?"She stilled. "We aren't sure. Maybe Declan or..." She paused, hands gripping the chair beside the bed as she lowered herself into it.I helped her down, careful of her heavily pregnant belly. "Or who?""Maybe Vito."I looked at her,

Amy POV"Where was he last seen?" I asked Dylan, pressing my gun to his head the second he walked through the door."I thought we were building some trust here." He gave me a dry look.I shoved the muzzle harder against his forehead. "Where?""Declan's moving his men to Brooklyn. He's pulled together about a hundred from both sides.""Fuck." I lowered the gun, I wasn't really going to shot him."Fuck is right. You need a damn Xanax, Amy.""I need to find Declan. I need to end his life. He killed my uncle, and he's going to pay.""Okay, you got five families behind you with that. Just... take a breath, will you? You're going to get yourself killed.""I'm not that easy to take down. Get me locations and safe houses." I ordered."Aren't you supposed to be getting ready for graduation, little girl?" Vinnie strolled in with that cocky smile of his. He irritated the shit out of me. I had no idea how my brother could stand him."I'm done with high school. I'm done with games. Did you hack th
