Claire⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅Blood... Blood stained my hands...Vincenzo's blood...I stared at the crimson stains, a sickening reminder of the violence I had unleashed. The weight of guilt pressed down on me, suffocating and relentless.I never intended for things to escalate like this. My plan had spiraled out of control, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.His brothers ripped him away from me as they took him to a hospital in a car while I remained alone, crumpled on the floor of his father's bedroom, the metallic scent of blood heavy in the air, clinging to my skin.I did this. It's my doing. I pulled the strings. I may not have pulled the trigger, but all this blood is on my hands.I never thought this plan could have such circumstances. How could I have been so blind, so foolish? The guilt gnawed at me, consuming me from the inside out.I had been so consumed by my desire to take down his father from his throne, so focused on tearing him down, that I had failed to consider the co

Claire⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅I spent the night in the hospital with Vincenzo although his brother tried to force me to go home I couldn't bring myself to leave him alone like this.This morning, he regained consciousness briefly. The doctor examined him and reported that his recovery was progressing exceptionally well. He was responsive, all his senses were intact, and his vital signs were stable. However, to make sure he gets adequate rest, they administered medication to help him sleep.I sat by his bedside, watching over him as he slept, a sense of relief washing over me at the news of his improving condition. Gazing at his peaceful expression, a flood of emotions washed over me. I reached out and gently brushed a strand of hair from his forehead, a silent prayer on my lips for his swift recovery. I watched for any sign of movement. And then, ever so slowly, his eyelids fluttered open, revealing the faintest hint of awareness beneath.A flicker of relief washed over me as I leaned closer,

Vincenzo⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅The office was bustling with activity as men from around the world gathered, each one personally selected by Adriano for the meeting. They came without hesitation, showing their loyalty to our cause. Amidst the crowd, the heads of each family stood out, their presence a reminder of the power they held. Whispers of Dad losing his mind had spread like wildfire, evident in the worried and skeptical glances exchanged. The proof of it was etched on my chest and Dante's shoulder. I don't understand what the fuck was I still doing here.Lying in Claire's arms, I had thought it was all over for me, but evidently not. Someone had to be there for her, to take care of her.As I stood before the assembled crowd, a heavy silence hung in the air, broken only by the sound of my own steady breaths. Addressing the gathered faces, I knew I had to speak the truth, no matter how difficult it was."It's time we faced the reality," I began, my voice cutting through the tension. "For

Vincenzo⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅Congratulations poured in from all sides, men and their families offering their well wishes, I barely had the time to look for my own wife. Caught up in the flurry of wishes and congratulatory gestures, I scanned the crowd, searching for Claire's familiar face. Despite the cacophony surrounding me, her absence felt like a glaring void in the midst of the celebration.Pushing through the crowd, I finally spotted Claire by the bar, engaged in conversation with Aunt Alessia. She looked stunning in a black dress that accentuated her curves, her blonde hair elegantly swept up into a sleek bun. My heart skipped a beat at the sight of her, a rush of relief flooding through me as I made my way towards her.As I approached, Claire turned towards me, a smile lighting up her face. "Hey," she greeted me warmly, setting her martini down on the bar. "I was waiting for my turn." Taking her hand in mine, I leaned in to press a gentle kiss on her cheek."I'm glad I found you,"

Vincenzo⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅I pulled her closer, but she shook her head, a gesture that seemed impossible as I held her head firmly against my mouth.Parting slightly to let her breathe, I heard her whispered words, "We shouldn't, you're still healing.""Fuck that," I retorted, my voice low as I licked the delicious skin of her neck.She released a breathy laugh, her tone scolding. "No, Vincenzo! You got shot only two nights ago."Ignoring her protests, I sucked the skin of her neck into my mouth, biting down gently as I spoke. "Exactly, it was two nights ago. I'm fine now."Her breath hitched as I continued to lavish attention on her neck, but she gently pushed against my chest, her resolve unwavering."Vincenzo, stop," she insisted, her voice firm yet tinged with concern. "You need to rest and heal properly. We can't risk any complications.""Do I look like who cares about complications?"She gasped against my lips, momentarily caught off guard by the harshness of my kiss. Yet, slowly, her

Vincenzo⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅"Now, let's talk, Claire Capone," I whispered, my breath mingling with hers as I gazed into her eyes.With a playful smile, she pressed a quick kiss to my lips. "I've gotta go pee." I chuckled as she playfully squirmed out of my embrace, my cock slipping out of her and coming to rest lazily against my thigh. Claire gathered the sheets around her frame and gracefully climbed out of bed, her movements fluid and effortless.I nodded. "You know what, let me grab some fresh clothes for us, and I'll meet you in the bathroom. We can go for another round in the shower," I suggested with a smirk. She glanced at me from over her shoulder, batting her eyelashes playfully. Her golden locks were tousled and wild, some of it still gathered in a messy bun at the back of her head while the rest cascaded in waves around her shoulders.Fuck, she was the most beautiful sight I had ever seen.She disappeared into the bathroom, and I got off the bed. The wound in my chest throbbed w
Mafia Men IV - Vincenzo's Temptation Chapter 140 - Pack Your Bags
Vincenzo⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅She perched on the edge of the bed while I stood before her, my back pressed to the wall. I couldn't bring myself to get any closer. Being apart felt safer as if I might explode if I got too close. Restlessness gnawed at me, and anger pulsed through my veins, but I had no target for it. Every inch of my being was seething with fury, and I didn't know where to aim it.Her? Dad? Antonio? The names swirled in my mind, each one a spark igniting the wildfire of my fury."Start from the beginning," I ground out through clenched teeth.She told me everything, from her earliest memories to Tony Parker, to Scott Mancini, and the path that led her out of that hell.A part of me ached to stride over, to wrap her quivering frame in my arms until she found relief in the rhythm of her own breath. But another part of me simmered with fury, raging like a storm. I was furious at her, fucking furious. I stood there, torn between the urge to comfort her and the seething anger th
Mafia Men IV - Vincenzo's Temptation Chapter 141 - He left me too...
Claire⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅I watched as the maids emptied my side of the closet, the bags were lined up in the bedroom even though many times I said that I didn't need any of them, the maids were persistent. His exact words to them were, "Make damn sure there's not a single hint of her in my room." So, that's what they were up to. They were scrubbing his room clean of any trace of me, just like he wanted.A knock on the door resounded and then it slowly opened, "Mrs. Capone, Capo has ordered me to take you to the airport." I froze, not knowing what to do for a moment. I looked around the room, our bed, everywhere I looked, I couldn't bring myself to leave this place. I nodded, swallowing down the bitterness rising in my throat. "I'll be right out," I managed to say, trying to maintain a facade of composure despite the ache in my chest. The maids took my luggage out of the room as one of the soldiers waited outside of the room to take me straight to the car. He was repulsed by me, wasn't

Claire⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅•The First Steps! ❤️"Oh my god, do you have the camera ready?!" I asked, excitement bubbling up inside me as we watched Aurelia tentatively attempt to take her first steps.She was already pulling herself up on the furniture, her chubby little hands gripping tightly as she teetered on unsteady legs. Her blue eyes sparkled with determination, her tiny mouth set in a determined line as she focused on the task at hand. She had gotten her blue eyes from my mama. Vincenzo and I had been eagerly awaiting this moment, always keeping our cameras close at hand in anticipation. Not just us, but the whole house. Salvatore, Alessia, and his brothers, they all celebrated everything she did. With bated breath, we watched as Aurelia took a wobbly step forward, her face lighting up with a mixture of surprise and delight.

They would keep their distance, she wouldn't even realize that they were there. I was furious with her, consumed by an intense anger that threatened to engulf me.

Mafia Men IV - Vincenzo's Temptation Chapter 150 - The Epilogue
Vincenzo⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅I held Claire close, her body tense against mine, her face buried against my chest as I observed Tony's pitiful state. His once tough presence was reduced to nothingness, stripped of his limbs, his sight, and his dignity. He lay there like a discarded husk, a mere shell of his former self, awaiting the inevitable embrace of death. Claire refused to spare him even a glance, she had stopped coming here all altogether after she had ordered their eyes to be taken out, it was just too much for her. Tony's existence was a grotesque mockery of humanity, stripped of its most fundamental faculties. Devoid of limbs, senses, and any semblance of autonomy, he lay there, a pitiful shell of his former self. The ordeal of surviving without the ability to walk or see had surely taken its toll on his mind, leaving him trapped in a nightmarish existence."Please, Vincenzo, I can't stand to be here any longer," Claire pleaded, her voice quivering with a mix of desperation and di

The unmistakable presence of his sizable cock pressed against me sent a jolt of excitement coursing through my body. I couldn't resist teasing him, rolling my hips ever so slightly against his length.A low, guttural groan escaped his lips, sending a delicious shiver down my spine. His response was so quintessentially Vincenzo that I couldn't help but smile, relishing in the sensation of his desire coursing through me even before I opened my eyes to greet the day.Last night fulfilled every dream I've ever had about becoming a mother and sharing intimate moments with the man I love. "Are you awake, Mia Cara?"I reached up, my fingers delicately tracing the contours of his forearm where it lay against my ribs, just below my breasts. "Mhmm," I murmured softly. He pulled me closer, his embrace tightening as he buried his face in the nape of my neck. I could sense the gentle caress of his lips

Claire⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅"Who's been managing things while you've been away?" I inquired, pulling my hair up into a ponytail."I was," he replied, his gaze fixed on me through the mirror. "I know how to run my organization even when I'm not physically there."We stood side by side, him adjusting his tie while I styled my hair. I had been discreet about our baby, wanting the right moment to reveal the news, I wanted it to be special. I wasn't sure if he had noticed my subtle changes, but he hadn't said a word about it.His phone rang, and he quickly grabbed it, a smirk playing on his lips as he glanced at the screen. Without answering, he slid it back into his pocket."Who was it?" I asked, curious.His smirk widened. "Scott Mancini." My eyes widened in disbelief. "Oh my god, he must be so worried about me. You have to talk to him," I urged. Vincenzo's expression remained smug as ever, and he nonchalantly shrugged. "No," he replied, his tone dismissive."What do you mean, no?" I exclaimed,
Mafia Men IV - Vincenzo's Temptation Chapter 147 - A nice feeling
Claire⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅Perched on the edge of the bed, I curled into myself, knees drawn up to my chest, and my chin resting on top of my knees. His presence across from me was palpable, his hand possessively wrapped around my ankle, anchoring me to him. Slowly, deliberately, his touch traced a path along my leg, each caress sending shivers of conflicting emotions coursing through me. Despite the state of mind, I knew he was in, his touch was a paradox of gentleness, a stark contrast to the brutality I knew he was capable of. Yet, at this moment, his tenderness felt like a lifeline, a fragile thread connecting us. With each stroke, I could feel the electricity coursing through my body, pulling me closer to him. It was like we were speaking our own language, one filled with longing and love. "You were the anonymous buyer..." I stated. His intense gaze locked onto mine, momentarily stealing my breath. "It was your debut exhibition. I had to support my girl," he replied, his voice dark a

Claire⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅My eyelids felt heavy as if they were weighed down by tons of bricks, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't force them open. With a groan, I summoned all my strength and pushed my eyes open, only to be met with the blurry sight of an unfamiliar ceiling.As I blinked away the haze of unconsciousness, the events of the previous night flooded back to me in a rush. Panic surged through me as I struggled to make sense of my surroundings.The room was dimly lit, with heavy curtains drawn tightly shut, casting a shadowy gloom over everything. I tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over me, forcing me back down onto the soft surface beneath me.Where was I? And more importantly, who brought me here, and why? Dread pooled in the pit of my stomach. As my eyes adjusted to the dim light, I took in the opulent surroundings of the bedroom. Rich fabrics adorned the furnishings, and ornate decorations adorned the walls. It was a stark contrast to the cold fear grip
Mafia Men IV - Vincenzo's Temptation Chapter 145 - A Woman in the Storm
Claire⋅•⋅⊰∙∘∘∙⊱⋅•⋅I was four months pregnant, and while the first trimester had been relatively easy, now I was starting to show a bit, and the nausea was hitting me hard, making each day a struggle to get through. I gently caressed my slightly swollen belly, finding comfort in the subtle changes my body was undergoing. Although it wasn't yet noticeable to others, I cherished this intimate connection with my growing baby, a bond that only I could feel.For the exhibition tonight, I opted for a dress that would discreetly conceal my growing bump. I slipped into a black burnout maxi dress with delicate spaghetti straps, its modest neckline offering just the right amount of coverage. As I admired my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence. No one on this earth can tear you down, Claire Parker, not even the man you love with all your heart. The sleek silhouette of the dress hugged my curves in all the right places, disguising my pregnancy with effortle
