Dante Fuck!The picture frame hanging on my office wall shattered under the force of my fist slamming into it.What was that? What was I thinking? I wasn’t a man that lacked discipline, my still throbbing dick would beg to differ but I know who I am. I’ve risen to the top of the Cosa Nostra and instilled the level of fear and respect I demand because I always had my head straight and never let things get in the way of the familia or business. You can’t tempt me with wine, money or women and I had an outlet for whenever I needed one.First she waltz into my club and makes a caricature of my business, scamming my patrons and under delivering services. Next, she turned me into a teenage boy creaming his pants at the sight of his first crush. Hell I was leaking by the time she pulled me out and I don’t even do precum, no girl was that good.My nostrils flared at the thought of what her antics would have done to my business if it got out, these men were vicious and hate being cheated
Bella “Bella. Bella!” I opened my eyes to see Vivian hovering above me, her cute eyes peering deep into mine. “What have you done this time? The caretaker said you should come to her office at once.” Caretaker? Office? I groggily pulled out the wrist watch I always kept inside my pillow to see a bright green 6:45am flashing on the screen. What could be so important by 6:45am and can’t wait till the sun was up? My day typically starts at noon and consists of a workout and flexibility session to keep in shape. I was always allowed to have my beauty sleep as it is assumed I was definitely spent from a night of letting men ride me like a horse and it was important I didn’t appear tired or worn as it would ruin the appeal. Something about being disturbed before the sun was up in the sky didn’t sit right with me so I pulled my blanket over my head and told Vivian to tell her I was asleep. “You don’t get it Bella, she said something about the Don.” That was enough to sna
Dante. “She really went through with it, I guess I owe you $10k.” Enzo mused, staring at the newlywed in shock. “I’ll never understand these innocent girls have for men like Kaden, it’s like a wolf keeping a sheep as a pet.” He was right, while I understood the appeal of opposites attracting, the couple before us looked like a tragedy waiting to happen and we all knew who the victim would be. I never understood why people would put themselves in such a vulnerable situation in the name of love. Kaden was like an exposed live wire, the smallest stimulation would result in an uncontrollable explosion, and boy did he love to explode. His wife, whatever her name was, was the model picture of a lamb. Sweet, caring, one of the women who actually cared about the charities they donated to and not the validation they got from society for spending money. Enzo mentioned one time that she ran a secret scholarship funding program for orphans and Kaden was able to get her attention by making
BellaIf you looked up the word “careless laughter” I’m pretty sure I would come up as a reference picture. I got too carried away with Scarface's stories I ended up knocking his drink over, getting us covered in whiskey. I shut my eyes, expecting him to hit me or yell as I’ve seen the other men do to clumsy girls Instead, I felt soft pats on my face and neck. I opened my eyes to find him carefully dabbing at the spots the drink got on me with a white handkerchief, he hadn’t even cleaned himself. It was the first time a man was touching me without sexual intent and it was a very odd feeling to me, I stood awkwardly, watching him, scared to say a word.He looked strange doing something with so much care and intricacy. He was respectful enough to skip my cleavage as he cleaned him up, it was not the type of gentleness you’d expect from a man like him.I started wondering how many times he’d been misjudged because of the way he looked and his scar.“I’m sorry Bella, I doubt the napki

Bella. ‘My nose was the first of my senses to wake as the overpowering stench of what I suspected to be rotting flesh filled my nostrils, almost choking me. I coughed a few times, prying my eyes open, but I couldn’t see a thing. I went into an instant panic, thinking I’d gone blind and my hands tried to rub my eyes but were met with restriction. I was tied and blindfolded. Slowly, reality began to set in, I remember matching through the valley, hurrying to catch up with my friends before my face was suddenly covered, followed by a painful sting on my neck and it all went black. It wasn’t a bad dream. I was kidnapped, panic and fear started setting in, and the stench of the cold room suddenly faded away as I thrashed in my position trying to free myself. A heavy sob left me and I started screaming at the top of my lungs. I couldn’t utter anything intelligible, I just needed someone to hear me scream. How long have I been out? What about my parents? Were they looking for me?
Bella.The past few weeks were remarkably different from my first months at The Rave. Miss Carter has been breathing down my neck, complaining of all the plates I’ve broken and orders I’ve mixed up. I was currently serving punishment for mixing a client's order and triggering his allergy. I couldn’t help the smile that curled at my lips when he started choking, he’d made it a point to smack my ass whenever I rounded his table. Watching him suffer pleased me.Unfortunately, Miss Carter was watching and concluded I had mixed the orders on purpose, hence my current position in the kitchen, cleaning and scrubbing after she dismissed the rest of the staff.“How does it feel when one falls from grace?” A voice asked behind me, startling me and sending my neck whipping to the back.Anna leaned on the kitchen door, lazily filling her fingers as she gave me a condescending look.After weeks of training and competitions, Miss Carter finally chose her as my replacement at the dungeon and she h
DANTEThere are three things I don’t joke with; my money, my family, my cock, and currently, someone was tugging tightly on my business.I don’t understand how people know very well the consequences of their actions and yet they go ahead with it expecting different outcomes.I’ve made it a point to make an example of whoever messed with my business, yet a new asshole rates its ugly head every year.Someone had the guts to attempt to burn down one of my Casinos in Miami. I say ‘attempt’ because there’s no way they really thought they were going to succeed.I rolled the cigar in my hand, taking in the intricate markings and how well it was wrapped, It reminded of me it in a way. Tightly wrapped, keeping every bit compact and pressed inside, no room for anything new, and the only way to destroy what was rolled in was with fire.While I greatly admire the morale of the idiot because it takes a person with guts of steel to embark on such a mission. My fingers tingled from all the ways I im
DANTEIn the Bratva, we don’t start families out of love, romance, friendship, companionship, etc. Families were born out of duty, either to continue the line or to form an alliance.A love match was a laughable concept amongst made men and our women understood that. It was better for any man in the Bratva to marry one of the women, that way, expectations are lowered, understanding is mutual and the union works.The most important aspect of marriage is the provision and protection for the women and the continuity for the men.So long as the women were protected and provided for, they had no right to point fingers at their husbands and the men were free to do as they pleased. Take mistresses and whatever they desire.A complete No was bringing the mistresses home or having kids with them. Then it’s considered that the woman has been dishonored especially if she is a mafia princess. Most people were betrothed at birth or early in life and only had to attain a certain age before they w
BELLA“Where are the clothes?” I asked, skimming through the clothes on the aisle and finding outfits far worse than I was currently putting on.This was the third aisle I was on and the second store we were checking out and it was the same thing. Just different styles and colors.“They’re on the racks.” She said, still wearing the same look she’s been wearing since we left the house.“These are basically lingerie and barely qualify to be called outfits.” I pointed out, holding a sheer body-fitting dress I pulled off the rack.She gave me a once-over as if to say ‘You’re currently wearing one of those.’ Before proceeding to act confused. “Oh, my mistake, I thought a place like this would be better suited for you.” This bitch. She’s had a permanent scowl sewn to her face from the moment we left the house and has not failed to find new ways to call me a slut.A positive side effect of being raised the way I’d been raised was an unshakable confidence. And while I couldn’t care less abo
BELLAEnzo and I cleaned up after breakfast and he was currently teaching me how to play Monopoly. It was a nice game, it had to do with real estate, negotiations, and money so naturally, I was drawn to it.“I’ve contacted Celine, she’ll be here in an hour or two. Tell her everything you need and she’ll get it.” Dante’s voice filtered into the kitchen ahead of him.“Hey! That’s my money.” I yelled, snatching my paper money from a thieving Enzo who lifted his hands in surrender. He keeps trying to steal from me.He’s been here for almost two hours and I can say I’ve had the best time in years. He was the first man who had spoken to me like a human being in a while.In our short time together, he has made no comment about my status, or my presence in Dante’s house, he didn’t even ask how I came to be here.He just waltzed into the house and found me on top of the kitchen stool searching for food in the cupboards and the only thing he said was “I don’t think Chinese would require so much
DANTE I went from making one bad decision in a decade to making a hundred reckless, horrible, and ill-thought decisions in the space of seven months and it all started with the appearance of Isabella Blanchett.Her comment about being eight when she was abducted had me going through her files and searching for clues. What to do with the clues, I had no idea.Every time I had picked up the file in the past had always been to see how Charlotte raised her and maybe get a few insights as to why she was so fearless.Today, I was currently putting off preparing for my meeting with Enzo in favor of digging down an Isabella-sized hole. Alright, that didn’t come out as I expected, still, I was digging and if ended up in any of her holes I certainly wouldn’t mind.According to the file, she grew up in a village in France and was abducted when she snuck out of her house at night.I rolled my eyes at the statement, of course, she was caught sneaking out. Good to know her knack for running away
BELLAThe drive to Dante’s house was mostly quiet and long. I had rushed to my room to inform Vivian of the recent development, I didn’t have enough time to provide context but I guess she got the message. She even commented how she always thought my encounters with the Don were a bit bizarre. Bizarre was certainly one way to put it.A lot of thoughts were racing through my head as we drove, not to mention how suffocating Dante’s presence was. I glanced at him from the corner of my eyes and he just sat there, staring into the road ahead, his face hard and if he tightened his jaw one more time, a vein might just pop. I on the other hand sat next to him, staring into the dark like a lamb that was being led to the slaughter. I had a shit ton of questions to ask but I doubt he’d be receptive to them with his driver present.We finally came to a stop in front of a classic-looking gate and I readied myself to get out of the car because everyone knows after the gate comes the house. Par
BELLA My eyes almost popped out of their sockets at the sound of his request. “Can you say that again, I think I misheard you.”He leaned back into his chair, giving me a pointed look. “Be mine for a year and I’ll let you go afterwards.” He repeated casually like he didn’t drop the biggest bomb on me.“You already bought me, you’ve made it clear at every meeting how I belong to you, what difference is this supposed to make?” I heavily at him, feeling a burning sensation course through me.The nerve of this man. You render my ass with welts, fuck me in front of a dying man, make death threats at me every chance you get, lock me in a dungeon for almost a month, and sit there in a pressed suit and casually ask me to yours. I’d be damned if I took him up on his sick offer. If he was looking for some desperate Diana to play with, he had a surprise coming for him.I wasn’t foolish and I was familiar with his game. He promised to set me free to get me to soften up to him and when he’s done
DANTE“I’ll ask you one last time, who sent you?”“I don’t know, I was….” I slammed my fist into his face, feeling the satisfaction course through my veins at the familiar sound of bones crunching beneath my fist. His agonizing scream only pissed me off. I hate it when men cried like bitches.. If you have enough balls to mess with me, I expect you have the resilience to withstand a few blows.“I don’t know! I swear on my mama!” He cried, spitting out the second tooth I was knocking off him today. Blood dripped from his lips to his chin and down to his chest.I watched the trail in fascination, wondering if I should make a permanent trail with my knife. “No! Please no, I’ve told you everything I know. I opened my door and found a package, inside it was a check and a burner. The phone went off immediately the call was over and it wouldn’t come on again.” He pleaded, watching my hand skim over my extensive display of knives. “Hmmmm” I replied, my eyes not leaving my knives. This ans
BELLAFuck me sideways.The big guy upstairs really did say he’ll deliver my enemies into my hands and he just did it in the best way. When my shock at the scene before me finally wore off -which happened in seconds, as I had no prior high expectations of the duo- I could feel a shit-eating grin stretching out my lips as I watched them look at me in part horror and part hatred.“Fancy seeing you here Miss Carter, or should I say, Rose.” I smiled, walking out of my hiding place and her glare intensified. “The situation at hand is quite the leveling ground, you certainly don’t expect titles after what I just witnessed,” I said, gesturing at their current state of undress. I let a fake shiver run through me as I directed my attention to Anna. ”Please put on some clothes, the sight of your bare body is giving me the heebie-jeebies. I already have a lot of nightmares plaguing me as it seems.”She was oddly quiet and compliant for a renowned talkative and bully and I got the dopamine kick
BELLAI paced back and forth while waiting for Vivian to exit Miss Carter's office. I couldn’t relax knowing I was the reason she was in there and I won’t forgive myself if she got into any trouble because of me.I nervously chewed at my thumb, glancing at the wall clock for what would be the hundredth time, and the whole of seven minutes had passed with her in the witch's lair.I always guessed I had a bit of bad luck, I mean I’ve been screaming it since day one but now, I wasn’t sure it was just ill luck. Maybe I was cursed, maybe some evil French woman did some sort of voodoo on me because how does shit always seek me out wherever I go?Ill luck was me getting into troubles that were sometimes of my own making. This was everyone who tried to as much to stand up for me getting into trouble and even losing their lives while the culprits always went Scott free.I heard Miss Carter's door open and practically dashed to it to be met by the unpleasantness that was Anna.She was wearing a
