It wasn’t just the shock of Allegra’s body never being found or the fact that she had betrayed Don Julio, she and Pablo, It wasn’t even the way Don Julio acted as if it were just another day. No. It was the fact that I didn't even know who this man is and I might never know who he is. He'd looked me in the eye after ordering his men to find her, and even though he claimed to be indifferent, I could see the flicker of something. Guilt? remorse? I couldn’t tell. And I hated that I couldn’t. The days that followed were a blur. After we left Calcutta, returning to Italy felt like stepping into a different world. Calcutta had been suffocating — sticky, dirty, full of the echoes of death and fear. I woke up every morning, thinking I heard a shot or something. Italy was cold, clinical and just a little better. The walls of his villa , the pristine marble bottoms, the silent hallways. It felt

Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation Trigger And Trust
SARIAN I had always hated casinos and that was the reason I had defied my boss back then and chose to dance in the club. Too many kinds of evil happened there, it was the place of bad decisions and reckless spending, where people met their doom. The flashing lights, the clinking of coins, the endless ocean of faces lost in their pursuit of luck. But tonight, I had no choice. Don Julio had asked me to come with them, his business dealings taking us to this high- end casino in the heart of the megacity. He looked like he belonged there, handsome, calm, untouchable, his sharp suit adding power to his spare, muscular frame, eyes calculating as he surveyed the room. But his presence didn’t just demand attention. It took it. And it made me feel like a normal onlooker in a world I wasn’t meant to belong to. I hated the feeling. I had chosen a midnight blue dress with a slit at the left, long and wide enough for my laps.

DON JULIO The sun had slightly risen when I stepped out onto the balcony of my villa, trying to shake off the weight of the former night. The night was suppose to be peaceful but it had happened the way I hadn't expected The attack at the casino was still fresh in my mind: the chaos, the gunfire, and, most importantly, the image of Sarian, pushing me aside. Twice. She had saved my life. The Crows wanted something too and I couldn't help but blame her stupid father for dragging the poor girl into what she knew nothing of. The doctor had just finished attending to her, and though he comforted me that her injuries weren’t fatal, the fate of that night was something neither of us could ignore. I had to admit, I was angry. Not at her, never at her, but at the situation. At myself. I had failed to protect her in time, and I could see the consequences of that failure playing out right before my eyes.

SARIAN “ I beg your pardon! ” I coughed, blinking at him like he’d lost his mind. “ Plastic surgery? ” My heart was beating louder than necessary. Don Julio stood there, calm as a marble statue, arms folded over his chest like the mafia lord who he is and not even blinking and I guess he was enjoying my shock. “ Yes. I’m serious. ” I stared at him incredibly not believing that a day like this could come and he could say something as dumb, crazy as what he just said. “ You want to change my face and change how I look just like that? ” “ It’s for your safety. ” “ You said that before and over and over again, ” I snapped, the disbelief in my voice climbing and I was just so frustrated. “ But plastic surgery? That’s too much. I’m not a criminal, I didn't kill anyone. I haven’t done anything wrong! ”

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

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

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.

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 The Devil's Heartbeat
DON JULIO The smell of blood was thick in the air briskly, metallic, suffocating. The last echo of gunfire had faded, but the chaos still fire my thoughts. It was freaking unexpected. I had had enough already and I swore to myself as I watched Valentina go down that when I find whoever is doing this, I would erase the names of his whole family from the earth. “ Valentina’s down! ” someone cried. My heart sank. I turned around immediately. Valentina was lying lifeless on the ground and Sarian was beside her, shaking her and begging her to wake up. Her dress and hands covered in Valentina's blood. Shit. This wasn't supposed to happen. My instincts had told me to tell Valentina to stay back at the hotel. Everything inside me snapped. My men redressed with fury. Shots erupted again, lighting up the night. Tires screamed. The masked men tried to escape, but they weren’t fast enough. We shot almost everyone of them down, no mercy. One tried to run into the alley — I refocused on hi
Don Julio: His Wicked Temptation Her Name Was Valentina
SARIAN I could feel the pressure in the air the moment Valentina walked into the hotel room. I had woken up to find myself all alone and breakfast set and then a janitor in the hallway. I came out and there he was still moping out non existent dirt and I immediately knew who he was.Don Julio was back with her and Matteo and he had introduced us before, but I couldn't help but wonder what kind of woman she was. She was different — older than me and very friendly, but there was something about her that made me think she’d seen a lot, perhaps too much and had really suffered too. It wasn’t just her calmness, there was this confidence in her that made you believe she could handle anything. Over dinner, the atmosphere was reserved Don Julio was calm one minute and then, his usual sharp, calculating presence absent the next . It was as if he'd something on his mind that he wasn’t really focused on. Valentina, still sounded comfortable in her own skin, laughing loudly at times, m
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

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

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
