I adjusted my dress for the millionth time that night, glancing at her reflection in the ornate mirror of the grand ballroom. The previously half-full opulent space was now filled with more people than I had ever seen in a single room.

It was crowded, the chatter was louder, and it was starting to get hot. Everyone was starting to get tipsy, the alcohol getting to them. I had never seen that many alcoholic drinks in a single room before.

Mr. Alonzo, my date for the night, seemed to be a well-known figure in that circle—a man of considerable wealth and influence. I did what he hired me to do at the lavish party to a tee; smile, be charming, and keep up appearances.

Many of his friends tried to flirt with me but I shot them all down. They were too old for me. Plus, they were shameless. I could have sworn I saw one of them grab a waiter’s ass.

From the corner of my eye, Hazel spotted Markos. My heart skipped a beat. It had been years since we were intimate, but the connection between

    I stirred awake, the morning light filtering through the thin and worn out curtains of my small apartment. I stretched, trying to shake off the remnants of a restless night, filled with the thought of Markos and his confusing actions towards me. Even early in the morning, the thought of him was exhausting. Just as I was about to get up, a sharp knock echoed through my small sanctuary. My heart raced. I half-expected it to be Markos, coming back for another confrontation and I hated that a part of me wished it was. Just so I could see him again. To my annoyance, the sight of him was oddly comforting just as much as it was intense and overwhelming.I pulled on a robe and shuffled to the door, mentally preparing myself for whatever awaited me on the other side.When I opened the door, it wasn’t Markos standing there. It was Lucy, my sister Violet’s roommate. Lucy’s usually bitchy face was a mask of distress, her eyes wild with worry and anger. Without waiting for an invitation, she p

  • Don Markos   Weight of Responsibility (Hazel)

    On my way home, I decided to look for the homeless man who had told me he saw Violet being taken to a hospital. Most of the hospitals I had checked didn’t have her admitted there.It may have seemed biased but I needed to ask him again. I thought that maybe he was high when he told me that piece of information. My search seemed fruitless. I had to confirm what he saw.I went back to the street I talked to him but he wasn’t there. When I gave the description to someone there, he told me where I was going to find him.I never imagined the day would end like this, standing on a desolate street corner, talking to a man wrapped in rags. He had seemed so much put together when I saw him previously. His eyes, tired and distant, flickered with a strange knowing.He had seen something—a girl, my sister, Violet—being carried away on a stretcher. "She looked like she needed help," he muttered, clutching his blanket tighter against the cold. It was too late to verify anything at the hospital;

  • Don Markos   Again...(Hazel)

    My thoughts were a tangled mess as I stood by the window, staring blankly at the cityscape. The bills piled up like a mountain I couldn't climb. Violet's hospital stay, the psychiatric center for my brother, and the regular expenses loomed over me. My phone lay useless on the counter, the screen cracked and the battery dead. Even if I had the money to replace it, there were more pressing needs. I had no idea how I was going to manage it all, especially with my pitiful salary. The whispers about my past with Markos and the rumors about our present made work unbearable, but I couldn't leave. I needed every penny.The side gig Julia had suggested had seemed like a lifeline at first. Escorting men to high-profile events was easy money, or so I thought. But it had turned out to be a dangerous game. The night with that client who took me to a secluded place instead of home was a wake-up call. He had been charming at first, all smooth smiles and expensive cologne. But as the night wore on, h

    I fixed my posture and approached my parents at the coffee shop. They weren’t even conversing when I got there. Mother was talking Father’a ear off and wasn’t even listening. He was too busy looking through his cell.None of that deterred Mother from speaking. I felt sorry for her.“Good morning,” I greeted as I sat. I gestured for my guards to give us a considerable amount of space and they did.“At least your husband is protecting you well,” Father remarked and sized me up. “He’s not doing the right thing. Women always become whores when given freedom. He shouldn’t let you leave the house or have a phone.”I wish I could have said I was shocked by his statement but I wasn’t. Mother wasn’t allowed to leave the house unless it was with him. There were a few times when she was allowed to leave; when she was taking us shopping.She wasn’t even allowed to have friends.I looked down, refusing to meet his eye. I didn’t want to risk angering him and triggering his anger.“Where is the docu

    What Ricco told me happened during Viola’s coffee date with her parents did not sit well with me. Viola’s relationship with her parents was abusive. She may not have admitted it but I knew that for a fact.“What are we going to do about the Serbians?” Dante asked as he entered my office and made himself comfortable.“Nothing. We’ll wait for them to make their move.”“You should have just let that old man marry Viola. We wouldn’t be in this mess if it wasn’t for her.”I shot him a warning look but he ignored me. He was the only person who wasn’t afraid of me. People shook at the sound of my name—women included. Even Viola was scared of me when we first met.I had only partially succeeded in making her comfortable with me.“Don’t speak on my wife.”“Oh, you like her now? I thought you couldn’t stand her. Now you’re here defending her. She’s a mafia princess. Marrying a man old enough to be her grandfather is barely a surprise.”“Don’t. Speak. On. My. Wife.”He shut his mouth immediately

  • Don Markos   Beggar

    Violeta was in the hospital and so was my brother. Things were not going great for me. It had been three days since I went to work. Derek had probably ranted to Markos and convinced him to fire me.But what choice did I have? This was what my sister we were talking about. I had a duty to take care of her even though she was older than me. None of us were responsible for how our lives turned out.Father was the one who dug us into a mess and then Mother decided this life wasn’t hers to leave. If I didn’t protect Violet, I was going to lose her. That was the last thing I needed.I was short on money. I had no phone, no money to pay bills, pay my brother’s hospital fees, and my sister’s hospital bills. I sat at the waiting room of the hospital with my head in my hands.Tears flowed freely down my face but I didn’t dare look up. I was too proud to let someone see me cry. People had already seen me in my worst moments but crying was never going to be one of those moments.“What am I going

    I begged like they wanted. I even licked the floor for thirty minutes just to make sure they were impressed enough to help me out. I should have known the two heartless individuals were never going to show me empathy.They acted worse than those strangers who saw us as an abomination in society. They sabotaged their own blood and humiliated them greatly. I would never forgive them for putting me though hell like they did.After I was done licking the floor, they ordered gusrds to show up, grab me and kick me out of theior home. I was sent away screaming and begging for them to hear me out. I cried and begged for them to make me their slave or maid.But no matter what I said, nothing seemed to move them. They were devils.I wiped my tears as I walked away from the estate. I had used the last of my money to pay for the taxi to go to their house. I thought that maybe they were going to give me a ride. I should have known better than to expect such things from superficial people.I shiver

    I shook as I stood in the middle of the bedroom wondering what I would do. There was no time to put on makeup to hide how much Mother had punctured my flesh with her long nails. Or the handprint from where Father grabbed me roughly.I wished more than anything that I had covered up the marks first thing when I arrived home. Instead, I’d wallowed in my sadness–something that was getting me in trouble already.“You’re not naked,” Nikolas said from the door. He still had his gun in his hands and that dangerous look in his eyes. Any remnants of the gentle man who made love to me nice and slow so he wouldn’t hurt me were gone. The man who cleaned me after he took my virginity and changed our sheets was gone. In his place was the ruthless man he had always been–the man I refused to see all along. The other version was made up in my mind. Mafioso men were all the same. One wrong move and he would kill me with that very gun he was holding.“I–”He raised the gun and pointed it at me. “I c

    Nikolas was not in bed when I woke up the next morning. His side of the bed was cold but his woody and musky scent was still in the air. I put on a robe and went downstairs to look for him but I found it a little hard to walk normally because of the sting I felt between my legs.However, it had subsided a little because of the aftercare Nikolas had given me. Plus he’d licked my center until I passed out after we showered. That probably also helped. When I reached downstairs, I noticed the room was squeaky clean, like Carlo’s hand hadn’t been cut in that very room. Nikolas was at the dinner table with a buffet of breakfast there. He was fully dressed in a suit reading a newspaper. I was starting to think that he didn’t like wearing his suit jacket or his tie. “Good morning, splendida,” he greeted me when he saw me. (splendida - gorgeous)“Good morning.”He raked his eyes all over my body, and I noticed them lingering at my legs for a second too long. “How did you sleep?”“I slee

    His member sprang free and rested against his toned chest. It was big, veiny, thick, and the head was red and leaking with precum.I couldn’t help myself as I reached out and touched him. I ran my fingers all over his member, rubbing his precum all over his tip. He became harder if that was even possible.I did all this while I stared at Nik, loving the way I was driving him crazy. It made me feel powerful in control that I could make his composure crumble that much just by touching him. “I’ll cum if you don’t stop. The only place I want to cum is inside you, ragazzina.”He pushed me further on the bed and kissed the valley of my breasts down. “Are you ready to take all of me?”I nodded all too eagerly despite my eyes being wide in shock as I wondered how he was going to fit inside me. If two fingers were too much, I imagined how all of him would feel. However, the untamed need to have him overshadowed any fear I had. “I need words, little girl.” “Yes, I’m ready.” My words came

    I paced our room wondering if my best bet was to run away. Where would I go? Nikolas had shown me that the gentleman he pretended to be was just an illusion. Carlo had lost a hand over nothing for heaven’s sake. Touching my waist didn’t seem like a sin enough to lose a hand over.However, I would be lying if I said his darkness didn’t make him alluring. There was a certain satisfaction that came from knowing a man would do something crazy because he was possessive. God, I was sick. “You’re not on the bed waiting for me,” Nikolas said from the door. I jumped and put my hand on my chest.“You scared me,” I said as I backed backwards.Nikolas walked towards me until he was standing right in front of me. He may have been covered in blood but he didn’t scare me. I knew he wouldn’t hurt me. “I’m done waiting. I want you, Viola and I’m going to fuck you so hard you’re going to limp tomorrow.”Then he walked away and disappeared into the bathroom. I heard the water running for a few mome

    “What are you going to do to him?” I asked, my heart nearly beating right out of my chest. The thought of someone getting hurt because of me was crippling. “He’s getting what he deserves.”“Nikolas please…”He was too busy driving to pay any attention to me. It was like I was talking to myself. I almost gave up the fight thinking I would get us in a car accident. But I soon realized that if the longer I waited, the more chances there were that Carlo would get hurt or worse…die because of me. “How can you do this? You are busy cheating on me with Genevieve but I can’t take a walk with a childhood friend? Maybe I should have done more!” By the time I was done talking, I was yelling. Nikolas pulled over immediately and turned to me with a dangerous look on his face.“What the fuck did you say to me?!” He asked. That vein popped on his forehead again, informing his anger was too much. I should have taken back my words then. However, a part of me just wanted to poke the angry bear. “

  • Don Markos   He Disappeared (Hazel)

    I thought that I had Nikolas figured out. As it turned out, I couldn’t have been more wrong. He didn’t follow me like I had secretly hoped he would.On the contrary, he left the penthouse altogether. That night, I didn’t sleep wondering where he spent the night.I needed to turn around the situation in my favor.One fight with me and he ran back to that mistress of his. I’d unknowingly pushed him into her waiting arms.The next morning I got up and got ready to leave the penthouse. It was damn near suffocating to be cooped up inside there like Rapunzel. Maybe if I went out and made some friends, I wouldn’t be so desperate to get Nikolas’ attention.I put on a simple baby pink dress and some wedged sandals. After grabbing my bag, I left the house, deciding to have breakfast at a coffee shop instead.At least I could read a book while I sipped some coffee in a place that wasn’t a reminder of how much I failed as a wife. The ride there was short and quiet. However, I could feel my phone

    I thought shopping was going to make me feel happy but it didn’t. My thoughts kept going back to what Aurora had told me. My mind decided to punish me by feeding me flashbacks of Aurora telling me he was seeing that woman. Shopping barely distracted me. Although it didn’t satisfy me in the ways I wanted, it certainly gave me satisfaction knowing Nikolas was probably fuming as he watched the zeros in his bank account decrease.The only things Mafioso men cared about were money and power. Plus, I had confiscated all my bodyguard’s phones and switched them off. There was no way of Nikolas knowing where I was or what I was doing.“Nikolas is probably—”“Don’t mention his name, Ricco. As far as I know, you’re supposed to guard me and ensure I’m safe, not talk to me or report to my husband everything that I do.” I said without turning to look at him.When he didn’t move, I turned to him and narrowed my eyes at him. “In case you didn’t miss it, that was your cue to stand as far away from m

  • Don Markos   Get Your Shit Together (Hazel)

    Violet was soon going to be discharged from the hospital and I was going to stay with her before she got on her feet and got a job. If I was being honest I was mad at her for being so fucking selfish. By doing drugs she was also ipacting my life. But I didn’t tell her that. She was still recovering and I didn’t want to argue with her. Arguing with her would potentially thrust her back into the throes of addiction. Who knew if next time someone would save her? For an addict, every overdose was one step closer to the moment they died. Unluckily for me I found her awake when I found her in the hospital room. After walking many kilometers to get to the hospital, I was sweating and my eyes were swollen. Not only had I cried when my grandparents refused to help, I had also cried when Markos and I had a fight. I lied when I said I didn’t love him because I still did. I lied when I said I didn’t remember how we broke up because I did. It was very fresh, like it only happened the day befor

  • Don Markos   Let Her Go (Hazel)

    Hazel was a fucking temptress. Even as I kissed her soft lips, I knew no woman would ever compare. How had it been seven years and I felt the same way I did. She got my dick harder than it had ever been. When I kissed her, it had been out of anger and frustration.If someone had told me I had taste anything better than her lips, I would have told them to go fuck themselves. My lips moved on hers fervently, like a dog in heat. I grabbed her hair and pulled her head back. She opened her sexy little mouth for me and I didn’t hesitate to thrust my tongue in her mouth.The moment our tongues made contact, a burst of emotions rushed through my body. I hummed in satisfaction and deepened the kiss. She responded with the same energy I had with her hands roaming my chest.She started to unbutton my shirt and that was when my senses kicked in. I grabbed her hands, pulled them off my chest, and broke the kiss. No matter how hard it was, I had to do it.I couldn’t allow things to escalate. I wa

  • Don Markos   Diamonds and Roses

    Nikolas avoided me since the whole incident with my parents. If I was being honest, that was the best thing he could have done. The mere sight of me had me so scared that I could barely keep it together. I’d slept in my bed alone for three days and I hated how lonely it felt. I hated myself for missing a man that threatened to kill me and replace me within hours. His actions only told of how little value my life was to him. ‘Yet he’s the only thing you think about.’Father still asked for updates of where Nikolas went and what he did and I had nothing to give him. I hadn’t seen him in days and whenever I asked Ricco of his whereabouts, he told me he didn’t know.Bullshit.How was I supposed to get him to fall for me if I didn’t even see him.“Nikolas told me to tell you he’ll be attending your sister’s birthday party with you tomorrow.” Ricco said from the door. I scoffed and almost laughed sarcastically. It was a pattern at this point. Whenever I did something Nikolas didn’t like,
