Michael’s POV

Pain.

Blinding, searing, unrelenting pain.

It ripped through my body like a wildfire, burning every nerve, every muscle, every damn thought in my head.

The heat of it was unbearable, radiating from my shoulders and burning its way into my chest.

This was worse than what I had thought it would feel like if I ever got shot.

I gasped, but the air I sucked in was practically nothing, useless.

Gunfire roared around me, a loud, chaotic sounds of violence. But I barely registered it.

The only sound that mattered was the pounding of my heartbeat, loud and massive, hammering inside my skull.

I stumbled. My legs gave out beneath me. The ground tilted, twisted, rushed toward me—

And then I stopped.

Because something had caught me.

Something big. Strong.

Fernando.

His arms wrapped around me, unyielding, keeping me from crashing face-first onto the filthy concrete floor.

His grip was too tight, fingers digging into my wounded shoulder, and a white-hot hit of pain shot through me.

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Waking Up

    Michael’s POVThe bright lights above me shined with an almost heavenly glow, bouncing off the white walls of the FBI headquarters. The hallway stretched endlessly ahead of me, lined with doors leading to various offices. But today, those doors were wide open, and the people inside weren’t drowning in paperwork or running down leads. No.They were celebrating.Celebrating me.Applause erupted from every direction as I walked forward, my steps slow but deliberate. Agents clapped me on the back, their hands firm with admiration. Some shook my hand vigorously, their eyes bright with respect."Good work, Michael!" someone called out."You're a damn hero!" another voice rang through the corridor."Drinks are on me tonight!" a colleague laughed, raising a glass in the air.I nodded at them, my lips turning into an easy grin. This was everything I had wanted.A hero. A man who had done his job.And I had done it well.Ashley appeared at my side, her blue eyes gleaming with pride as she li

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Cost of War

    Fernando’s POVThe room buzzed with tension.I sat at the head of the table, my fingers together, my face an unreadable mask. Around me, the air was filled with agitation as the crime bosses argued among themselves, their voices mixed in a chaotic blend of rage and frustration.Rodger Holt was the loudest, his thick fingers gripping the edge of the table as he spat out curses, his face red with fury. Nikolai Petrov leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, his usual calm demeanor followed by a scowl. The others—men who had built their empires on blood, drugs, and power—were no better, their emotions running high.And why wouldn’t they be?The FBI had dared to step into our world.They had raided Santiago’s warehouse.They had shot at me.They had shot Michael.A cold fury curled deep in my chest at the memory of Michael bleeding out in my arms. I had nearly lost him. I shook my head to correct myself. I had nearly lost my toy.The realization sent an unpleasant wave through me—som

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Price of Their Sins

    Fernando’s POVThe meeting dragged to its end with the weight of unfinished business still hanging in the air. I listened to the final words of everyone while my mind was elsewhere.Rodger, still angry, leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. “I don’t like sitting on my hands, Fernando. The longer we wait, the bolder they’ll get.”“They won’t get the chance to be bold again,” I said smoothly, rising from my seat. “Trust me.”Rodger narrowed his eyes, as if considering whether to push further, but he ultimately stayed silent. Good. The last thing I needed was another idiotic suggestion to storm a federal building.Nikolai shot me a lingering glance before standing as well. “Keep me informed,” he said simply.I nodded. “Always.”Santiago was the last to move, still wearing that cocky smirk as he adjusted his cufflinks. “Try not to get too sentimental, Fernando. We can’t afford distractions.”I merely gave him a sharp look. “I don’t get distracted.”He chuckled, shaking his head

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Held Prisoner

    Michael’s POVThe day was coming to an end and I could feel things were about to happen that would change the course of my undercover mission. Darkness had settled outside the windows, casting long shadows across the room. The dim light from the bedside lamp barely brightened up the room, leaving most of it filled in some darkness.I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, my body heavy but my mind racing.He’s going to do it.Fernando was going to murder FBI agents.Fernando had made it clear—he was going after those agents tonight. Those men probably had no idea they were already marked for death. They had no idea that the devil himself had set his sights on them.This was one thing I had never expected to enter Fernando’s demented mind, despite his irrational behaviour. I exhaled slowly, shifting under the sheets. My shoulder ached, the now small pain moving through my body with every movement I made, even though it was just tossing on the bed.The bandages wrapped around my w

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Beginning of Revenge

    Viewer Discretion: This chapter might contain violent acts that may be sensitive to some readers.******Fernando’s POVThe car was silent except for the faint hum of the engine. Outside, the suburban neighborhood was quiet, the kind of place where people felt safe enough to leave their doors unlocked and let their kids play in the front yard. I sat in the driver's seat, my fingers tapping lightly against the steering wheel as I watched the house through the windshield. Inside, one of the agents on my hit list—James Holloway—sat at the dining table with his wife and two kids, a boy and a girl. The lights in the house were bright, the warm glow spilling onto the neatly trimmed lawn through the large window.Holloway laughed at something his wife said, cutting a piece of meat from his plate. The kids laughed over their own plates, their faces lit up with happiness. It was a picture-perfect family moment—one that should’ve meant nothing to me.And yet, as I watched them, a strange fe

    Viewer Discretion: This chapter might contain violent acts that may be sensitive to some readers.******Fernando’s POVAs we moved toward the house, the woman began to struggle in Marlo’s grip. Her tears fell down her face, and her breath came in ragged gasps. I ignored her. My focus was on the house itself, the warm lights still glowing, the cozy furniture inside, the scent of home-cooked food lingering in the air.James Holloway thought he could raid our warehouse, put a bullet in my men, and then come home to his nice suburban life like nothing happened.He was about to learn otherwise.I nodded toward the door. "Open it."Vince pressed the woman against the wall while Marlo and Rigo moved quickly, checking for security systems. Rigo pulled out a small jammer, a little device that blocked alarms and wireless signals. The FBI had good systems, but I had better men.The lock clicked. Marlo eased the door open, his gun ready. The house was just as it had looked from outside—wa

    Viewer Discretion: This chapter might contain violent acts that may be sensitive to some readers.Fernando’s POVThe sound of her whimpering filled the room, a pathetic noise that clawed at my patience. I clenched my jaw, watching as Holloway’s wife trembled, her breath coming in ragged, uneven gasps. Blood poured from the wounds in her shoulder and leg, soaking her dress, falling on the wooden floor beneath her chair.She was in pain.Good.I exhaled sharply, tilting my head, watching her with cold disinterest. "Would you shut the fuck up already?" I snapped, my voice sharp.She flinched, biting her lip to stop another whimper, her whole body trembling.Holloway’s eyes blazed with fury as he turned his gaze on me. "She’s in pain!" he spat, his voice thick with rage and desperation. "She’s scared!"I arched an eyebrow. "And? That’s not my problem. My problem is you not answering my damn question."

I groaned, shifting slightly, but even that small movement sent a sharp ache slicing through my temples.Thus pain in my head was relentless and almost unbearable but I could live with it. I've been through worse.As my eyes weakly registered my surroundings, a question built up in my mind.What the hell happened?I blinked, forcing my heavy eyelids to stay open, and stared up at the ceiling. The room was dim, the morning light entering through the gaps in the curtains, casting long shadows over the walls. For some reason, my body felt sluggish, like I had been sedated.And then it hit me.Anabelle.That conniving little—I inhaled sharply, pushing myself up on the bed despite the dizziness that threatened to pull me back down.

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Voices in the Mansion

    Marlo's POVI touched my jaw, wincing slightly as my fingers brushed over the tender spot where Michael's fist had connected. That bastard had actually punched me and it surprisingly hurt much more than I had expected it would. The sting was sharp, but beneath it was an unmistakable excitement. A low chuckle escaped my lips as I leaned against the cool marble countertop of the dimly lit kitchen. Now I understood why Fernando had always found such delight in toying with Michael.There was a fiery spirit beneath that brooding exterior, one that was irresistibly tempting to provoke.I hated to admit it but I found myself wanting more of him.The kitchen was a filled with a lot of outdated appliances and dusty surfaces, which showed that the mansion has been abandoned for far too long. In the center, Emilio and Mortis sat at the worn wooden table, finishing off the remnants of their dinner. Their conversation was muted, the clinking of cutlery against their plates the only audible s

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Marlo's Tyranny

    Michael’s POV The journey had been long and exhausting, but as we finally arrived at Fernando's family estate in the English countryside, a new wave of weariness washed over me. The mansion loomed before us, a grand building that had clearly once been a testament to power and wealth. Now, however, it stood as a relic of the past—its once-elegant walls covered by layers of dust and neglect. The sprawling grounds were overgrown with weeds because there had been no one to look after it. The air was thick with the scent of dampness and decay, a stark reminder that no one had set foot here in years.Marlo stepped forward, his boots crunching against the gravel driveway. He turned to face us, his expression a mix of determination and authority."Listen up," he began, his voice echoing slightly in the stillness. "This place may look like a dump now, but it's going to be our sanctuary for the foreseeable future. The feds are on our tails, and we need a place to lay low. It's not going to

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   In The Air

    Michael’s POVThe hum of the private jet’s engines filled the cabin as I stepped into the aisle behind Emilio, keeping my gaze fixed ahead—until I saw him.Fernando.His body was strapped down like he was already dead. His skin, usually warm and full of fire, was pale. It was like someone had drained the life from him, and now we were carrying around the empty shell.I didn’t even try to swallow the lump in my throat. It was permanent now.We had paid good money—stupid money—to make sure no one asked questions about Fernando.As long as the money was available, nobody cared.I scanned the seats, brows furrowing. Row seventeen.My spot was way in the back, far from where Marlo, Anabelle, Mortis, and Emilio had already gathered near Fernando’s medical area. It felt deliberate—like being shoved into a corner and told to stay there.I clenched my jaw and marched up to Marlo’s seat.“Hey,” I said, coldly. “What’s this about? Why the hell am I back there?”Marlo didn’t even look surprise

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Search For Truth

    Michael’s POVThe paper trembled in my hand.I didn’t even realize how tightly I was gripping it until the edges started to tear beneath my fingertips. Elise.Her name was right there."Subject witnessed the exchange on the 16th. Resulted in immediate action. Orders came from Council, not directly from F.M. Cover-up executed. All media rerouted."Council? Immediate action?My chest felt tight. My sister—Elise—had been murdered… because she’d seen something she wasn’t supposed to. I couldn’t breathe.“Michael!”I didn’t react fast enough.Suddenly, a hand gripped my shoulder and pulled me backwards roughly as if I was a rag doll.“What the hell is wrong with you?” Marlo’s voice was a sharp whisper, and before I could respond, he shoved me against the bookshelf in Fernando’s study and clamped a hand over my mouth. “Quiet.”Footsteps, like a dozens of them, sounded past the closed door. Shadows moved across the faint light coming in through the cracks. I heard voices barking orders,

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Shadows in the Study

    Michael’s POV The hand that pulled me inside was rough and urgent, gripping my collar like I was something light they can manhandle without any consequence.My body collided with the cool wood of a bookshelf, and before I could say a word, a palm came over my mouth. My instinct screamed to fight, but then I saw his eyes.It was Marlo."Shh," he said, his voice barely a whisper in the dim light of Fernando’s study.I still wanted to argue but the sudden silence of the entire room told me to be quiet and do as he said.Boots ran past outside. I could make out shadows of armed agents as they moved through the hallway in search of more people to either kill or arrest, depending on if they resisted or not. I held my breath, every muscle tensed, my heart thudding so loud I thought they would hear it. Marlo’s hand stayed over my mouth, firm but not forceful.Five… six agents… maybe more.They were still searching for any one of Fernando’s men.When the sound of their footsteps faded down

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Dragged to a Corner

    Michael's POV The air was tight with tension.Ashley and I stood frozen, our backs barely brushing, guns lowered from our embrace only moments ago. The sound of a man pierced the silence, and I turned slowly to face the source of the threat.One of Fernando’s men—Diego, if I remembered correctly—stood in the shattered hallway, his gun raised directly at Ashley’s chest. His eyes were red with fury, his chest heaving, blood running down the side of his face. Whether it was his own or someone else's, I couldn’t tell.What I could tell was that he had seen Mr together with an FBI agent, Ashley, and now all sorts if things were running around in his head.I watched as his eyes moved between me and Ashley, as if trying to make sense of the situation and convince himself that everything wasn't as it seemed.It didn't take him long for his steel determination followed by a steady expression to take place on his features as he steadied his gun raised arm.“Ashley,” I said under my breath,

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Standoff

    Michael’s POV The tension in the air was suffocating. Time seemed to stand still as I locked eyes with Ashley. She had a gun aimed at me, and I had one aimed right back at her.I didn't blink."Drop your weapons," Ashley's voice was steady. "All of you. Now."I didn't flinch. Her command was clear. It wasn't a suggestion. It was an order, one I knew all too well.Behind me, Marlo, Mortis, Emilio, and Anabelle froze in place. They were waiting for me to react, for me to do something—anything.Marlo shifted, his grip tightening on his weapon. Ashley didn’t waver. She kept her gun aimed directly at me, her stance unwavering. "I said drop them," she repeated, a little firmer this time.There was a moment of hesitation from Marlo, then he snapped. His voice was clipped and sharp. “You don’t get to make demands. You’re outnumbered. We can take you down, and we will.”Ashley’s lips curled into a small smile, but it wasn’t one of humor. It was something darker. "Outnumbered? Perhaps. B

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Sound of Betrayal

    Michael's POV The world around me was filled with chaos. The persistent ringing in my ears was a cruel reminder of the explosion that had thrown mu to the floor. I struggled to piece together my surroundings, but the relentless gunfire made it nearly impossible to focus.I forced my body to move, but the weight of exhaustion was dragging me down. The battle had gone sideways, and our plans lay in ruins. The confusion was suffocating, and I couldn’t help but feel like I was slipping away from everything.Suddenly, I became aware of movement. My body was being lifted, carried as if I weighed nothing, and I could tell we were moving quickly. Forcing my heavy eyes open, I blinked against the haze of blood and dust clouding my vision. The blurred outlines of Marlo's determined face came into view, his features a mask of resolve. He was carrying me, his strides purposeful and unyielding.Beside him, Emilio bore the weight of Fernando. My stomach tightened. Fernando. The weight o

    Michael’s POVThere it was.That damned glowing vial, fixed in Anabelle’s steady hand like it held the salvation of the world.My gut twisted violently.I should’ve felt relief.Hell, a part of me did. But another part of me…A darker, colder part… wanted her to shut the hell up.Fernando's survival would spoil everything.I clenched my fists at my sides as she stepped closer, the vial still raised.He can’t live, that part of me whispered. Not after all he has done.I swallowed hard and forced my voice to speak.“How?” I asked.My tone was calm, curious even. But inside, I was burning.“How do you know this will work?” I added.She stopped a few feet away from us, her eyes meeting mine. There was no fear in them.“Because I made it.”I raised a brow. “You made it?” I asked.“My family specialises in medicine,” she said simply. “Doctors. Chemists. Biotech researchers. I was raised around labs, vials, formulas. I may not carry the same name, but the knowledge? It’s mine too.”She pa
