Supper was awkward. My expectations were unchanged but for some reason tonight's silence between us felt more burdensome. Rohit had been killed and his body disposed properly.Let The Crows wait. Let them wait for information they won't get.As I closely observed Sarian, the hum of the dimly lit restaurant and the clinking of silverware against plates faded into the background.For the most part, she kept her head down, her eyes darting anxiously over the food I had ordered for us both.I knew there were a thousand and one questions she wanted to ask but she did not. I wasn't sure if she was just preoccupied with whatever was on her mind or if she was scared to look at me or the questions were pulling her down.Whichever it was, it was better that way. But then, I didn't want to put up with her silence for too long.“ Eat.” I told her calmly but firmly.I wasn't asking. It w

DON JULIO She pretended like she wasn't scared but I knew she was.Although it was subtly concealed behind her typically composed face. I shut my eyes and said nothing at first then before she could understand what was happening,I pulled her up.“Dinner is over.”But she was stubborn and she refused to get up like her bum had been glued to the seat.One of my men from the sides of the room briefly raised his shirt up showing a gun and she complied.“Sometimes you need a slap or two to reset your brain.” I said as we left the restaurant to my room upstairs.However tonight didn't feel like any other night. She tried appearing shock once when I asked her if she knew why we were at Calcutta apart from the stupid lie she had told me.“I'm sure you’re wondering why we’re here.” I said reclining in the chair across from her. “For people like us India isn’t exactly on the travel map is it?” She took a tiny breath and

SARIANDust and cheap air freshener mixed with the smell of old wood in the motel room. That was all I got after travelling for hours only to inhale this.The mattress felt like it wanted to engulf me as I sat on the edge of the bed. Don Julio had instructed me to go to my room and stay put so the door clicked behind me and my thoughts were swirling like they wanted to consume me.Even now, his deep smooth voice echoed in my ears tinged with that familiar, derisive tone that made my blood boil. At the time I didn't respond to him. All I did was turn around and leave. But that didn't mean I wasn't thinking. I was damn angry and then the next minute, I didn't know what to feel, my eyes grew heavy but I didn't want to fall asleep either.What made him bring me here? What was it that he wanted from me? If that Allegra girl would be here, then he shouldn't bring me along. I had nothing to do with his business. Actually, no. Not at all, maybe in a way. I shrugged, picked up a book, old but
Last Updated : 2025-04-16Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation Pop. Bang. Chaos
SARIAN I had no idea when I'd fallen asleep. I had wanted to read a book, do something rather than let the anger I was feeling consume me. But then I didn't know why I was even angry in the first place. I was sitting on the edge of that miserable motel bed, one minute looking at the discolored ceiling and wondering how I had gotten into this mafia nightmare. How I hated my life right now and what my life could have turned out if just one act hadn't been put into consideration.The following morning I woke up to the sun still hiding behind the clouds, making everywhere look gloomy like it was about to rain and to a sound that I was unable to identify at the time—sharp, far away and strange. Not a warning. No thunder. It wasn't the sound of rainfall.No. A pop. Next came another. Then threw more. Then there was a shout. After that the glass broke. My eyes remained heavy as I blinked rapidly, my heart unable to keep up with the confusion. I briefly thought I was having a dream, that t

SARIAN The last thing I saw was Don Julio staring at me, his eyes wide with fear and for a moment, I saw my soul leaving my body.The pain was harsh and piercing and darkness came over me.I couldn't move.I was speechless. But I could hear him shouting, calling an unknown name, his voice breaking. Sophia. . . was that me? Everything seemed so distant. I felt as though I was submerged with a slow, muffled world, like I was pushed into a dark,murky water. However his voice was clear and I could hear it as I let the darkness was overcoming me slowly Don Julio, his voice, sharp. Hard. commanding. “Take her to the car.” He did not yell. His voice was cold and cracked . His tone was icy and menacing like steel. His men hurried to do his bidding as I heard rapid Italian.Still I heard it. Sophia. The word caught my mind like a ripped thread. He spoke in a way that seemed to have meaning. Like something had pierced his soul when he saw me fall.As if he had already bled over it before
Last Updated : 2025-04-17Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation Her Blood, My Burden
DON JULIO Blood. It was found all over. Warm, gooey and leaving a deep red stain on my shirt. Mine. . . Sarian’s. No sound, no flinch, no blinking and for a moment I thought she was gone…..just like Sophia. Her body was limp in my arms as the elevator plunged into the concrete core of my underground basement, her face angled toward my chest. I had previously vowed that the same world would never touch her. From the first day I had met her abd noticed the striking resemblance, I told myself that I had to protect her too, even though she was Federico's daughter bit now it seemed like I had failed again. There was a hiss as the metal doors opened. As my men waited, their faces pale and their shoulders tense, the lights in the hallway flickered momentarily. “The room is ready boss.” One of them said. I didn't answer. I just simply nodded and continued walking. In the back of my mind every ticking second felt like a ticking time bomb. What if she passed away?No. I can't let

SARIAN Pain is what I felt first. Sharp and blinding. I blinked against the bulb dancing overhead. Slowly, I looked around and realized that I wasn't in the motelMy side hurts, twisting and sharp and it gets worse the next minute as I move. My eyes suddenly open. Above me, was a strange ceiling that looked smooth white and expensive. Not the yellowed ceiling of the motel where I had passed out. Not the neon that flickers of the club. The wallpaper was not discolored. The room looked strange and very wide.The sheets are too soft and clean. I turned my head to see an IV line leading into my arm and I heard a steady rhythmic beeping sound, a cardiac monitor, and a medical apparatus. There was a lingering smell of alcohol and antiseptic. How in the hell— ? What I'm I doing here ? And this didn't look like a hospital.My chest twitched with panic. I tried to sit up but the pain hit me harder this time making me gasp. And then I saw it. A shadow , a small movement, just outside of the

SARIAN I ate just a little and tried to force myself back to sleep but it was useless.The silence was overwhelming but now I felt something tight and sharp like blood in my veins. Pain coiled beneath my ribs as I sat up straight in the enormous bed but I chose to ignore it. As soon as I heard the soft sound of heels coming down the hall everything in me tensed and I wondered what was going on. The door opened with a creak. And then she entered. Allegra. She was still alive?She even looked almost flawless. A silk robe smooth and cream in color clings to her body like it would on the cover of a magazine. Her lip was delicately split and her hair was a little disheveled. Her cheekbone had one bruise which was light enough to appear unintentional but dark enough to be noticeable. When she saw me she stopped in her tracks like she had seen my ghost. She opened her eyes wide and either real or practiced tears sparkled in them. “Oh, thank God,” she exhaled as she rushed ahead. “You

SARIANI still get sharp pain from my side wound when I move too quickly. But I was sick and tired of lying in bed feeling like a bird in a cage with too many questions and no answers. I flung my legs over the bed and decided to take a walk. Outside my room, the hallway was deserted. It was awfully quiet outside and it looked luxurious and it had soft lighting and polished floors. Whatever you want to call it this mansion—or fortress— was simply too ideal. The floors were too tidy and it appeared to be concealing something beneath the surface. I have no idea how long I have been here. But here, time moves in a different way. I was supposed to hate Don Julio who thought I was his. Sometimes I did.On other occasions though I remember how his voice broke when he believed I was going to die. Once when he brushed his hand over mine it trembled. I was really scared of him but I had to put up a brave front.And for some reason I couldn't help but be drawn to him. A set of dark double do

Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation Dead Men Leave Trails
DON JULIO Matteo arrived the next morning, in his usual stoic tone. He didn’t need to tell me of his presence. I saw him on the security footage before the door even opened. Always effective. Always quiet. He was one of the few in my gang that I could manage to trust if the word trust existed to me in the first place.He hadn't come with us because of personal reasons and things I had to do.Matteo was a professional; he never let his guard down, and he understood the assignment very well that when he came, he didn't let anyone follow him into the suite.I glanced over to where Sarian lay, a soft breath escaping her lips as she slept. My heart tensed with a strange emotion I didn’t want to show, let her enjoy a moment of peace for once. She was still recovering from everything, her body weak, her mind disoriented. But her spirit that was a different matter. And it was something I couldn’t help but respect. She was resilient and I loved women like that.I stood up immediately, makin
Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation This Is Vengeance, Sasa
DON JULIO The wind in Sicily was warm, filled with the scent of citrus blooms.We had just arrived minutes ago and as I turned to look at Sarian, her eyes looked empty and she felt like she was lost in the crowd , like she had no place in the world. Maybe she was scared that we might get attacked again.The pilot gave me a nod as we stepped off the jet. “ safe-deposit box wharf. ”I returned it with a small cock of my head. “Grazie. ”But Sarian’s emotions were as unsteady as the weather's. Her eyes danced as they landed on me. I knew the look before she said a word. She folded her arms, her lips curving into a small smile. “ You don’t look like yourself today.”I raised a brow but said nothing.She glanced over my plain black shirt, sleeves rolled to my forearms, my tats flashing in the early morning sun and simple trousers. No tie. No cufflinks. No intimidating suits draped over my shoulders. They looked simple but if only she knew how much they cost.“ You look like someone who
Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation Marked
SARIAN I felt it again — that unnoticeable prick on my skin, like it was very cold that morning but obviously it wasn't because I knew I wasn't alone.I had that feeling like eyes crawling over me.Watching. Waiting to strike and I didn't know what it was. My hand hung mid air as I reached for my coffee, and I glanced toward the hallway. Nothing. Just the soft, the family silence of the villa that I had grown used to.But I knew what I felt.Someone was here. I could feel it Or had been.“ Don Julio? ” I called out, forcing my voice to sound steady but it was shaky and laced with fear.His voice came from the room opposite, low and tensed, maybe he had also noticed it too.. “ Stay where you are. I’ll be there in a nanosecond. ” he said and I forced myself to take a sip of coffee that now felt like acid on my tongue.But I didn’t hear. I was stubborn , I was supposed to do as he said and stayed in the room and finished up my breakfast.My feet moved on their own as I crept toward the ha
Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation Beneath Dead Eyes
SIMEON I couldn't breathe.I couldn't think that I had done it. Ended his life like it was that of a puppy.Damn. Some men had come in and dragged the bloodied body of Marco out and I couldn't watch. I turned to go, hoping he wouldn't nsg until I heard his voice again and I froze.“ Gabriela is off the table. The marriage plans with The Crows are no longer an option. It's now abolished.” Abraham said, his voice calm, measured. But his words. they were a slap to the face. “ It’s a misplaced cause. You’re not ready for that kind of responsibility. And I have come to.the conclusion that you are madly in love to concentrate.”His eyes were cold as he spoke, his eyes fluttering over to me like I was an abomination, like I didn't even count to be in the gang, like I was a castaway.For a moment, I stood there, glued to a spot. Rage surged through me and I felt this was really unnecessary. I gripped my fists so hard my knuckles turned so white, but I didn't say a word. His opinion of me wa
Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation Baptism In Blood
SIMEON I could feel the weight of my father’s eyes as he listed off every mistake I had made. He was even smiling as he did so. I didn't know why but maybe because he got satisfaction from seeing me on my toes.One by one, his words sliced through the air, cutting me down until I was nothing further than a pile of failure in front of him." Federico's escape," he began, his voice low, cold. "That was your fault. You couldn't even keep an eye on him. And Don Julio? You suppose that injury was enough to prove yourself? Please." He waved his hand like he was fed up with my mere existence already. Everyone knew that Federico's escape wasn't my fault, I had given a suggestion which he had dismissed and the bastard had absconded.I stood there, still as gravestone, refusing to show him how harsh and cold those words hurt. He could say whatever he wanted. But, soon I would prove myself to him.Giuseppe was sitting in the corner, watching, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth. I hated
Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation A Throne Denied
SIMEON I had angrily walked out, to think about all that had happened and how to take over the gang after my father's death. I had been called back to the meeting hall.My father’s cold eyes were still burned into my memory, the slap still felt scratchy and painful on my face, the embarrassment I had suffered in front of the entire family hanging heavy on my shoulders.It wasn’t just that he looked at me like I was an orphaned rabbit. It was the look in his eyes when he did it. The disgust. The disappointment. Like I was nothing more than an embarrassment to him. I knew I was far from his perfect son, but damn it, I had worked hard for this moment. I’d given up everything, put in times of trust, learned every dark corner of this life just to prove to him I could handle it. But that wasn’t enough, was it? No, not for Abraham Moretti.He was a freaking perfectionist and wanted everything to be done following his freaking orders and hated suggestions from others, most especially me.
Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation Fix It, Or Fall
SIMEON Bang!I knew it was him even turning around to see him. The door shook on its hinges as the noise echoed around the roomSomething had happened and I knew that what was coming was just the usual. I shot my eyes, the weight of his presence alone suffocated the air.“ Simeon! ” The voice, cold, harsh and smelt of poison as it cut through the silence like a blade. There was no tenderness, no affection, just raw wrath and filled with huge disappointment.I remained still, not lifting my eyes, my arms folded across my broad chest not out of fear but preparing myself for what he was about to say because it won't be nice at all, but I could feel his gaze burning into me. I moved aside and let my hands fall as my fists gripped at my sides, nails digging into my palms almost drawing out blood. He'd that effect on me. He always did.“ Look at me when I’m speaking to you! ” he said, limping to the front, his fingers gripping his stick that I feared it might break.I did, reluctantly, my
Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation What's Left Of Sasa
SARIAN He didn't say anything to me again, he just stared at me for a while then left. Two maids came to clean my room and change my sheets and then served me dinner.That night, I sat in front of a mirror, studying every inch of my face, staring at the face I was going to miss. The angles, the scars, the small patch near my right brow. This face had cried, laughed, fought, and loved. The face in all of my documents. Would I miss it?Yes.But I wanted to live. I didn't want to be plunge into what I knew nothing about and when this is over, I would vanish forever and forget this ever happened, that I ever met Don Julio.But deep inside, I wanted vengeance. I wanted to walk back into this city one day, unrecognizable, and tear down every single one of them.Perhaps red would suit that fire. It would be perfect.The door creaked open, and Don Julio entered again. I almost rolled my eyes and wondered why he was ba
Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation Red Is The New Deal
SARIAN I didn't know what to think about it. Just wanted to accept it all, that it was part of the sacrifice I had to make, that I had to be ruthless if I wanted to survive in this world.Later that day, the room was dim, the curtains drawn and it was raining outside.A soft knock came on the door." Come in," I said immediately and quickly wiped the tears on my face.Don Julio stepped in, holding a small file. He looked tired, but his eyes held that same stubborn determination I was beginning to hate and respect all at the same time." The surgeon is trusted. He flies in tonight. You’ll be in recovery for a while. But I’ll be there the entire time."I stared at the file for a very long time. I didn’t touch it." You sure this is the only way?"He sighed and gave a small nod." It’s not just that . Just until we destroy the Blood Vultures, you have to follow my orders. Or go back to who you were and die. If tha
