Michael’s POV

Fernando stood a few feet ahead of me, rolling his sleeves up with calculated ease.

His expression was unreadable, but I knew him well enough to recognize the spark of excitement in his eyes.

He wasn’t just angry—he was looking forward to this.

The man who had pinned me against the shelf earlier now stood opposite him, cracking his knuckles with a cocky grin.

He had broad shoulders, thick arms, and a chest that was visible against his tight black T-shirt.

He looked every bit the professional wrestler he claimed to be. His confidence was that of arrogance, and he was eager to put Fernando in his place.

I didn’t want to be here.

I shouldn’t be here.

This whole situation was ridiculous, and yet, somehow, I was trapped in it.

Fernando’s bodyguard stood beside me, his arms crossed.

He looked ready to step in, but before he could say a word, Fernando turned to him and spoke with absolute authority.

“Do not interfere.” His voice was calm but stern.

The bodyguard frowned.

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Beast Within

    Fernando’s POVMy body still burned with rage, my knuckles aching from the impact of my fists against that bastard’s face. But it wasn’t enough. The man had landed a punch on me and humiliated me. No one had dared to do that in years, and now, here I was, sitting in the back of my car, with Michael beside me and my bodyguard behind the wheel, burning in my own fury.I stared at the side mirror, catching a glimpse of my face in the reflection. My jaw was sore, and I could already feel the swelling beginning. My fingers twitched as I clenched my fists. That man had made a fool out of me. And worse, he had done it in front of Michael.I wanted to punch something—anything.But then I turned slightly, my gaze landing on Michael. He was staring out the window, his face unreadable. His silence was unsettling. He had barely looked at me since we left the supermarket compound, and it was starting to eat at my nerves.“Michael,” I said, trying to keep my voice calm. “Are you—”“I don’t wan

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Unrelenting Tension

    Fernando’s POVMichael’s body was still pinned beneath mine, his breath uneven, his chest rising and falling repeatedly mostly because of the absenceof space between us. My hands pressed against the wall on either side of him, caging him in and not giving him a chance to escape. His words repeated constantly in my head, making it impossible for me to do any other thing than to just stare into his eyes.Normally, I would ne very happy knowing I was bringing fear to people around me but there was something almost painful hearing it from Micheal. The scent of his sweat still lingered on his skin from when i had pushed him during my fight, but beneath that, I could smell something more intoxicating.It made me want to hold him in my arms and take in his smell into mine until they became one.He was trembling, though whether it was only from fear or something else, I wasn’t entirely sure. But I intended to find out.I smirked, leaning in until my lips nearly brushed against his ear. “I

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Surprise Visit

    Michael’s POVThe kitchen felt colder than usual, or maybe it was just me.I gritted my teeth as I opened the fridge door with more force than i was supposed to, grabbing a handful of ice cubes and tossing them into a cloth. My fingers curled tightly around the fabric, my knuckles turning white as I forced myself to breathe. My heart was still pounding, and I hated it.I hated how my body had reacted.I pressed my forehead against the fridge for a second, closing my eyes. My jaw clenched in frustration.What the hell is wrong with me?I could still feel Fernando’s touch on my skin, the way his lips had moved over my neck, the way my traitorous body had betrayed me in that moment. My reaction had been instinctual, but that didn’t excuse it.It made me sick.He killed her.He killed my sister.The thought hit me like a hammer, forcing air from my lungs. I gripped the ice pack harder, my nails digging into the cloth.Fernando Ramirez—the man who had destroyed my world, the man I was

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Fernando’s Plaything

    Fernando’s POVI watched as Michael stepped back inside, shutting the door behind him. His expression was unreadable, as it often was, but I could tell something lingered beneath his carefully composed attitude. I was still seated on the couch, the ice pack resting against my bruised cheek. The cool sensation did little to soothe my irritation. The whole encounter with Ashley ate at the back of my mind. There had been something off about the way she looked at me, something unnatural in the way her eyes had widened, her body tensing as if she had seen a ghost.Michael walked past me, heading toward the small table where he had left his jacket. His shoulders were stiff, and I didn’t miss the way his fingers briefly clenched at his sides before he forced himself to relax.I tilted my head, watching him closely.“She didn’t come in,” I said, my voice obvious with casual curiosity. “Why?”Michael barely glanced at me as he pulled his phone from his jacket pocket. “She had somewhere e

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Sudden Phone Call

    Michael’s POVI stood in the kitchen, rolling my shoulders in exhaustion as I stirred the pot of sauce which was almost ready.The rich scent of garlic, tomatoes, and herbs filled my small kitchen, but it did little to soothe my frustration.I sighed, rubbing my temples as I leaned against the counter for a moment. Today was supposed to be my day to rest, a rare evening where I could unwind without dealing with anyone’s drama—especially Fernando’s.Yet, here I was, cooking dinner while he made himself comfortable in my home, completely ignoring the fact that I never invited him to stay.I shot a glare toward the living room, where I could hear him shifting around on my couch. His damn bodyguard was still here too, lurking silently like a shadow, as if they had officially moved in.I exhaled sharply and turned my focus back to the food. The pasta was nearly done, and the sauce just needed to thicken a bit more. I grabbed a spoon, taking a small taste. Almost perfect.Just as I reac

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   A War is Coming

    Fernando’s POVThe air inside the car was thick with tension, my fingers twitching against my thigh as I stared out the window. The city lights blurred past us, but my mind was stuck on one thing—Rodger’s voice over the phone.He had never sounded that agitated before.Rodger was a lot of things—reckless, ruthless, impatient—but he was never panicked. For him to sound that shaken, something had gone very, very wrong.I clenched my fists, jaw tightening as I replayed his words in my head."We were attacked. You need to get here now."I exhaled sharply through my nose, my patience wearing thin.I wanted answers. Now.I turned my head toward my driver, my bodyguard sitting stiffly in the front seat. “Faster,” I snapped, the irritation in my voice sharp as a blade.The driver hesitated, barely pressing down harder on the gas.Not enough.“I said—FASTER.”The car sped up as the driver obeyed, and I barely noticed Michael shifting beside me. I was too focused on the pounding in my head,

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   A Monster in the Making

    Michael’s POVFernando stood in front of his men, his posture rigid, his face cold as steel. The lights coming from inside his mansion cast harsh shadows over his sharp features, making him look even more formidable than usual.I stood a few steps behind him, watching in silence as he made the call. His voice was low and commanding, each word filled with quiet, dangerous authority.Everything was spiraling out of control and I couldn't do anything to stop it from all exploding in my face."Get everyone here. Now."Rodger stood beside him, arms crossed, his expression hard with anticipation. He said nothing, merely nodding in approval.One by one, Fernando’s men arrived, their heavy boots sounding against the ground as they assembled in the courtyard. They gathered in rows, standing at attention like a private army, eyes locked onto their leader.And their leader, Fernando, looked like a general preparing his soldiers for battle.Fernando took a step forward.The crowd of men went q

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   A War We Can’t Win

    Michael’s POVI stormed into my room, slamming the door shut behind me. My hands clenched into fists, my breath coming out in sharp, ragged bursts.This was insanity.A war against the FBI? Against the federal government?Fernando had lost his damn mind.I took off my jacket and threw it onto the bed. Every muscle in my body was filled with frustration. I wanted to scream, to punch something—anything—but I forced myself to stay calm.I needed to think.Moving quickly, I reached for my phone.Ashley.I needed to warn her.I needed to tell her everything.I dug through my pockets. Nothing.I searched the nightstand, throwing open drawers. Still nothing.“Where the hell is it?” I muttered under my breath, flipping the bed covers, checking every possible place I could’ve left it.Nothing.A sharp hit of panic shot through me.Had Fernando taken it?No. No, I had it earlier. I was sure of it.I took a deep breath and tried to focus.Ashley needed to know what was coming. If I could just

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Standoff Shifts

    Michael’s POVThe night air had become dense, pressing down on my chest like a weight, but it wasn’t the cold that had my skin crawling. The very sight of Lucas shifted the balance. It was clear that he was here to add another layer of pressure, and when I felt Ashley stiffen beside me, I knew that this changed everything.Andrew’s gaze moved over to Lucas, and for the briefest moment, I see something like frustration flash across his face. But then, like a predator circling its prey, his lips curled into a slow, sinister smile. "Ah, so now we are of equal standing. How cute," he said, his voice dripping with condescension. He took a slow step forward, his gun still raised at me, and I could see his finger twitch on the trigger, eager for something, anything, to break the silence.I felt my muscles tighten, but I didn’t flinch. There was something about Andrew’s tone, something about it that almost made me laugh. Almost.But before I could say anything, Marlo cut in, his voice sh

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Standoff

    Michael’s POVI glanced sideways at Ashley and Marlo, their hands steady on their weapons, having the same tension I felt."Michael," Damian began, his voice smooth, almost too calm for the situation, "You and your friends—you're done. This is over. You’ve got nowhere to run. The FBI will have you soon enough. You can’t keep fighting forever. Just give up." He lowered his voice slightly, as if he trying to lull us into submission. "It’s not worth it."I couldn’t help but laugh, a cold, humorless sound that echoed through the compound. "Is that really your big plan, Damian? You think I'm going to just roll over because you say so?" I took a step forward, making sure my gun stayed steady in my hands. "You’ve clearly forgotten who you’re dealing with."Damian’s lips curled into a smirk. "I haven’t forgotten a damn thing, Michael. I just think you’re too stubborn for your own good. You’ve lost. You’re outgunned, outmanned, and you’re running out of time. There’s no escape. Just hand you

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Crosshairs

    Michael’s POVI got close enough to Damian and looked in disgust at the smile he had fixed on his face the moment he saw me."I'm here. Say what you want but after that, you're leaving" I said with a stern voice."I knew you would come out of hiding the moment you heard me call out to you" Damian attempted to come closer to me but I stepped back."You wouldn't want to do that, that's if you don't mind being shot" I said, my eyes narrowed. "It was stupid of you to have come out here.""I could say the same thing about you."Andrew swiftly came out of the shadows and the barrel of his gun pressed against my forehead like a cold whisper of death.He had moved so fast through the trees, making good use of the darkness to get close to me.The forest behind him seemed to go quiet in respect, like even nature didn’t want to interrupt this moment.But I knew his men were there, waiting. I didn't flinch. I didn’t move. I just stared at him.His eyes, sharp and gleaming with victory, drank in

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Checkmate

    Michael’s POVFernando looked like a corpse.I never thought I would feel anything for him beyond disgust, fury, and that burning ache for revenge—but now, watching him lie unconscious in this dimly lit room, something twisted inside my chest. It wasn’t forgiveness. It wasn’t pity. It was something uglier. More complicated.His chest barely rose beneath the sheet, his breathing shallow, mechanical, like his body had forgotten how to be alive.He was pale—unnaturally pale—like life had already started abandoning him.And still, I couldn’t let go of his hand.It was cold. Damp. Fragile. I remembered this same hand raised in arrogance, in violence, clenched into a fist as he spat cruel words at me. That same hand had pointed guns, killed people, and built the chaos we were drowning in.But right now, it wasn’t the hand of a monster. It was the hand of a dying man.I hated him. God, I hated him. But I didn’t want him to die like this.“You care about him now?” My unconscious mind asked

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Waiting Game

    Andrew’s POV Night had wrapped itself like a shroud over the woods, casting eerie shadows between the tall trees. The air was filled with anticipation, thick and unmoving, as if nature itself was holding its breath. I could hear the loud sounds of Crickets chipping in the distance, an odd contrast to the tension that vibrated through my bones. The occasional rustle of leaves teased our ears snd made our minds work like machines as vsrious questions appeared on our heads.Was it the wind or movement? Every sound could be a threat. Every second, a reminder that time was slipping.We lay in silence, our bodies half-buried in the brush, our eyes fixed on the mansion positioned at the edge of the clearing. The looming building glared back at us like a fortress, its windows glowing faintly from within. Inside, Michael and his loyal few were holed up like cornered wolves, desperate and dangerous.Patience, I reminded myself. The moment we attacked would be the moment they expected us

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Thoughts of the Past

    Michael’s POV The smell of onions cooking in olive oil wrapped around me like a warm blanket. For a moment, just a brief moment, I let myself forget where we were, what was happening, and how much blood had already been spilled. The sound of the kitchen door opening pulled me out of my trance. Ashley leaned against the doorway, her arms folded. “Smells good,” she said, her voice soft but obvious with exhaustion. I glanced up, half-smiling as I stirred. “Figured it was time we ate something that didn’t taste like cardboard or fear.” She raised an eyebrow. “Is that what this is? A morale boost?” “Something like that,” I murmured. Ashley stepped in, rubbing the tension from the back of her neck as Mortis and Emilio followed behind her, dragging their tired bodies like the war had already been lost. Emilio sniffed the air and grinned. “Damn. Didn’t know you could cook.” I set the bowls on the table. “Survival skills.” Mortis slumped into a chair with a

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Deadly Message

    Ashley's POV The wind carried a damp, earthy scent through the cracks in the battered front door as we pressed ourselves against it, trying to catch a glimpse through the narrow hole in the wood. I could barely see much — just the faint shimmer of light bouncing off someone's gun, the shape of bodies lurking in the scattered woods surrounding the old mansion. It felt too quiet, like the world itself was holding its breath.I exchanged a glance with Mortis, then Emilio. Marlo’s jaw was tight, his dark eyes focused on the woods as though sheer force of will alone could make our enemies appear.“It’s been fifteen minutes,” Mortis muttered, lowering his gun just an inch. “I think we’re in the clear. Maybe they gave up.”“Yeah,” Emilio chimed in. “Or maybe they’re regrouping. Either way, it’s gone quiet.”I let out a humorless laugh. “You think Andrew is the type to give up? He’s out there, watching. Waiting for us to screw up. That’s his favorite game.”Both Mortis and Emilio shot me

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

    Andrew’s POVThe cold English air brushed against my skin as I tilted my head up to the second-story window. A dark smile went across my lips as I waited, watched to see that traitor's face.A second ago, Michael’s face had been there—staring down at me with that same infuriating calm he had always worn when things were going out of his control. And now… nothing.Good.Let him hide. Let them all scramble like rats in a sinking ship.This was my time to bring my enemies to their knees and I wasn’t going to stop until I have achieved my goal.I stepped back, scanning the old mansion ahead of us. The old Ramirez estate was barely holding itself together — cracked window glass, vine plants all over the walls, a run down compound that made it feel just like a building in a horror movie. A perfect hideout for cowards.I turned to my men, most of them hidden behind trees and old stone fences, their fingers twitching near their triggers. I didn’t have enough men for a full frontal attack.

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Andrew’s Demands

    Michael’s POVThe weight of Anabelle in my arms was heavier than it should have been. Not because she was heavy, she really wasn’t, but because every step I took felt like I was carrying the weight of everything I had been trying to beat. The past, the lies, the blood, the betrayals.Gunshots echoed outside like a twisted symphony, but I forced myself to focus.Her blood stained my shirt, the warm, sticky sensation reminding me she didn’t have much time if we didn’t act fast. And yet, even now, she was stubborn as hell.“You’ve been lying this whole damn time,” Anabelle said, her voice a weak but fierce whisper against my ear as I carried her up the stairs. “I knew it. I always knew there was something about you, Michael. And now, I’ll make sure Fernando knows the truth when he wakes up.”"That’s if you're still alive by then because I you keep talking, you're going to loose more blood" I said to shut her up but my plan didn't work."Don't you dare talk about me dying" she said ang
