»»»◈«««FOUR YEARS EARLIER»»»◈«««»»»◈«««»»»◈«««Naples, Italy»»»»»»◈««««««The nightclub throbbed with life as I lounged in the VIP booth, flanked by Scott and Lorenzo. The dim glow of neon lights bathed the scene in an erotic ambiance, the music a heavy pulse that echoed through the air. With a glass of bourbon in hand, I surveyed the crowd through half-lidded eyes."Here's to us," Scott declared, his voice barely audible over the music, but his sentiment clear."To brotherhood," Lorenzo added, clinking his glass against Scott's."Check out all these lovely ladies," Scott smirked. "So many flavors, so many options... It's like a damn buffet of bimbos."I chuckled at Scott's crass comment, taking a sip of my drink as I surveyed the women swarming around us. Each one vying for our attention like desperate puppies begging for scraps. It was almost too easy.Lorenzo heaved a disappointed sigh. Scott was an unapologetic asshole, plain and simple. There was no sugarcoating it, and he never bothered to hide it either.His crude remarks were like a badge of honor for him, a testament to his complete disregard for anyone else's feelings. And yet, there was a twisted charm to his brazenness, a devil-may-care attitude that drew women in despite their better judgment.With a flick of my wrist, I downed the bourbon in one smooth motion, relishing the burn as it slid down my throat. I signaled the server for another round, this time on the rocks.A lovely laugh fell on my ears as a group of women walked past our table and down the stairs to get to the dance floor.My attention was drawn to the laughter of one particular woman in the crowd. She wore a "birthday girl" headband atop her head, complementing her tight black dress. With black hair cascading down to her waist, full red lips, and curves that could stop traffic, she was a sight to behold.There was an aura of mischief about her, a playful energy that set her apart from the others.I watched from my table as she took to the dance floor with her friends, moving with a grace and confidence that commanded attention. Her body swayed to the rhythm of the music, each movement fluid and mesmerizing.As she laughed and twirled amongst her friends, I couldn't tear my eyes away.Despite the chaos of the club swirling around her, she seemed to exist in her own little world, lost in the euphoria of the moment.Her body gyrated to the pulsating rhythm of the music, her curves swaying in perfect harmony with the beat. I imagined tracing the contours of her figure with my hands, exploring every inch of her sinful form with reckless abandon.Her friend leaned in close, whispering something in her ear that made her glance in my direction. I couldn't care less about what Scott and Lorenzo were babbling about in the background as our eyes locked in an exchange.With deliberate slowness, I raised my tumbler filled with amber liquid in her direction, a silent toast to her irresistible allure. She gave me a coy smile, I couldn't help but smirk.Raising a single finger, I motioned for her to twirl, and to my surprise, she complied without hesitation. She spun around slowly, every movement dripping with seduction.She shamelessly pushed her hips out, flaunting the curve of her ass as she was putting it on display just for me. Her friends danced around her, clueless to the private game we were playing.I couldn't tear my gaze away from her, my eyes devouring every inch of her body as she moved with practiced allure. The music faded into background noise as she became the sole focus of my attention, her every movement a tantalizing invitation that I was more than willing to accept."Looks like I've got some entertainment lined up for the night," I proclaimed with a cocky grin, earning a mocking pat on the shoulder from Scott. "Wish me luck."I strode down to the bar, taking my time as I kept my gaze locked on her. She danced with her friends, glancing at me every two seconds, and I made sure she felt my eyes on her every move.With a sly smirk, I motioned for her to come closer.She gave an exaggerated but sexy eye roll and walked over, her hips swaying hypnotically with each step, until she stood before me, mere inches away.Up close, she was a vision of perfection, like a flawless doll brought to life. Her tall frame exuded confidence, and it was evident that she took meticulous care of her body, every curve toned to perfection.A confident smirk played on her lips, matching mine. "What can I do for you?" she asked, her voice dripping with sass.I leaned in, close enough for her to feel my breath on her ear. "How about a private dance?" I whispered.She laughed softly, her eyes gleaming with mischief. "Private dance? Well, well, aren't you bold," she teased, a playful glint in her eye."I like bold," I replied."Bold can be fun," she conceded, her smile widening. "But it'll cost you," she added, raising an eyebrow suggestively.I chuckled, "Name your price," I challenged, eager to see where this would lead.She leaned in closer, her lips dangerously close to mine as she whispered, "How about a drink and your undivided attention for the rest of the night?""Deal," I agreed.Her eyelashes fluttered teasingly. "You're trouble, aren't you?""Only if you're brave enough to find out.""Oh, I'm not just brave, I'm downright reckless tonight," she said, looking back at her friend ls who gave her a thumbs up.I raised an eyebrow, "How reckless are we talking about here?"Her lips curled into a lascivious smile, "Let's just say," she purred, her voice dripping with unapologetic lust, "I've made a bet with my friends to see if I can't get you into my bed tonight."I couldn't help but laugh, "Looks like you're off to a good start," I replied, "But getting me into your bed is one thing. Keeping me there is a whole other challenge."Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she leaned closer because of the thumping music around us, her breath warm against my ear. "I'm not afraid of a challenge."The next moment, she grabbed my tie, her touch firm and commanding as she tugged me in her direction. I followed her lead, my gaze fixed on the sway of her hips as we moved past her friends. A playful wink from her, and her friends erupted in teasing laughter.She led me to a VIP private room, I couldn't help but admire her audacity. We stepped into the dimly lit room, suffused with the sultry glow of red lights.With a swift movement, she turned us around and directed me to a chair, her demeanor confidently assertive. Placing her hands on her hips, she fixed me with a daring gaze, unapologetic in her boldness."Now," she purred, "About that private dance... Is that what it's going to take for me to win this bet?"I shrugged nonchalantly, slouching slightly, spreading my legs as I made myself comfortable on the chair, "Seduce me."As the distant thump of music seeped through the door, she casually pulled out her phone. With an air of indifference, she scrolled and tapped away, while I waited.She played some music, probably thinking it would set the mood or something. It was some soft, sultry song. She put her phone on the table beside me. I glanced at the screen and saw the name of the song, "Streets" by some chick named Doja Cat. Whatever, as long as it keeps her entertained while I enjoy the show.She walked with confidence, each step deliberate and enticing. Her back was straight, shoulders squared, exuding an air of self-assurance. Running her hands sensually along her curves, she swept her dark, luscious hair to one side with effortless grace.I couldn't help but let my gaze linger as she swayed, her lips teasingly parted, igniting a stirring down there that I'd rather not admit to.She casually strutted around the chair and caressed my shoulder, all the way to the other one. I leaned back, enjoying the view of her moving like she was born for the spotlight.She then made her way in front of me, her tits practically begging to be touched, and her ass teasingly out as she slowly sank onto my lap.I resisted the urge to reach out and touch her, even though every fiber of my being screamed to do just that. With her sexy ass now perched on my cock, I couldn't help but notice how gorgeous she looked beneath all that makeup.She wrapped one leg around the back of the chair for support, followed by the other, her arms encircling my neck as she began to rock her hips in a tantalizing rhythm.Fuck...The sight of her moving like that, her body pressed against mine, sent a surge of arousal coursing through me, stiffening me to my core.She teased me, our bodies almost melding together as she expertly moved her hips against my cock. She leaned in for a kiss. I parted my lips, but just as her lips were about to meet mine, she pulled back, leaving me hanging there. Despite the tease, I couldn't help but smile at her audacity.She unwrapped her legs from the chair and stood between my parted legs. Placing her hands on my knees, she bent down with the grace of a sex goddess.She lowered herself, moving her sexy body from side to side until her face was right fucking there, level with my crotch. She lingered, teasing the hell out of me, before slowly working her way back up.Standing upright once more, she pivoted between my parted legs, her movements dripping with seduction. With a devilish grin, she sat on my lap, her ass making delicious contact with my cock, eliciting a low, primal groan from deep within me.Hearing my groan, she cast a confident glance over her shoulder, her eyes smoldering with darkness as she fully grasped the effect she was having on me. With a subtle smile playing on her lips, she knew she had me right where she wanted, painfully hard and completely under her spell.Deliberately rubbing herself over my cock, she turned in my hold, facing me once more. With one arm wrapped around my shoulder for support, she slowly swept her free arm downwards until it almost touched the floor, accentuating her perfect tits that jutted out enticingly.The sight of her grinding against me like that, her body moving with such erotic grace, was enough to drive me to the brink of madness.Her pussy gyrated against my cock as she skillfully manipulated her body. She took off the hand that was wrapped around my neck and swept it down to the floor, mirroring the movement of her other arm.Then, with remarkable flexibility, she brought her legs up in the air, somersaulting gracefully until her feet landed on the ground. As she rose up, her face emerged from between my legs, her sultry smile locking eyes with mine.The song ended, and silence filled the air, punctuated only by the sound of her heavy breathing. Her eyes dropped to the tent in my pants, a mischievous grin spreading across her lips."I think I've won the bet," she whispered, her voice dripping with satisfaction as she met my gaze with a knowing smirk.I felt my own eyes narrowing with a predatory gleam, I seized the back of her head, my hands sliding possessively into her hair, pulling her closer until there was barely any space between us."Looks like you might have," my voice came out heavy with desire.Without waiting for another second, I claimed her lips in a kiss, tasting the sweet intoxication of her tongue, she tasted like tequila and it only made me crazier.I was a little drunk but I knew what I was doing...I yanked her roughly by the back of her head, guiding her movement as I pulled her back into my lap. There was no gentleness in my touch, only primal hunger and raw lust driving every movement.She stumbled through the kiss like she wasn't quite sure what to do. It was obvious she was struggling to keep up, but I wasn't about to go easy on her.My fingers traced the zipper of her dress, ready to rip it off her body, but she halted my movement, her grip firm on my arms.With a heavy breath, she pulled away, her flushed cheeks betraying the heat that coursed through her veins. "If you're gonna do this," she panted, her voice husky with desire, "at least take me to a damn hotel room first..."Lilianna»»»◈«««It wasn't some dingy hotel room.It was his damn penthouse. We barely made it to the elevator before he was all over me.He grabbed the back of my legs and hoisted them around his waist, pinning me against the cold elevator wall. His lips ravaged my neck and collarbone with a hunger that bordered on desperation as if he hadn't tasted pleasure in years.His hands roamed possessively over my body, igniting a wildfire of sensation wherever they touched.My eyelids fluttered shut, my lips parting in a silent gasp as pleasure washed over me in waves, leaving me breathless and wanting more.I had this guy in high school, but he was a total wet blanket. He always kept his distance, acting like touching me was against the law or something. And forget about getting frisky—he had more excuses than a kid with a late homework assignment.Prom night was supposed to be our big night, he promised me that we'd both lose our virginities on prom night but guess what happened? On prom
Lilianna»»»◈«««A furrow appeared between his brows, his gaze searching mine. "What is it, beautiful?" My cheeks flushed even hotter, the heat spreading down my body as I whispered, "I'm a virgin..."Pure, unadulterated horror danced across his face, a spectacle to behold as my words sank in.His eyes stretched wider, as though I'd just revealed I was a time-traveling cyborg from the future.He stumbled back, his movements resembling a startled deer, and hastily snatched his boxers from the floor, muttering a string of colorful expletives under his breath.My virginity proved to be the ultimate cockblock, sending his once-proud erection into hiding faster than a scared turtle retreating into its shell.I sat there, a cocktail of emotions swirling within me—hurt, confusion, embarrassment—all topped off with a generous sprinkling of speechlessness. It was like the universe had decided to play the cruelest joke on me, and I couldn't help but wonder if there was a hidden camera crew som
Lilianna»»»◈«««Our lips smashed together in a heated kiss as he ripped open his shirt, yanking it off my shoulders and letting it plummet to the ground. My hands trailed down his scarred and inked back, feeling the rough texture under my fingertips until they reached the waistband of his boxers. There, I encountered the cold metal of the gun he had tucked away earlier, sending a thrill of danger coursing through me.I smiled against his lips, the soft mattress meeting the back of my knees as he pushed me onto the bed. My fingers instinctively closed around the gun, bringing it with me as I tumbled backward onto the sheets. He arched an eyebrow at the sight of the gun in my grasp, his gaze flickering with surprise. With a wicked grin, I aimed the weapon at him, steadying it with both hands as it was heavy. "Pew pew pew!" I mimicked shooting sounds, causing him to pause and shoot me a look that screamed, "Are you serious right now?" before swiftly snatching the gun from my hands and
Marco»»»◈«««This morning, I left her bed with a note detailing the location of her belongings. Alongside it, I arranged a toothbrush and fresh towels for her. I believe she'll manage just fine.Last night at the club, we weren't hunting for flings. I certainly wasn't interested in that strange girl who seemed fixated on losing her virginity. We had a job to do, a mission that required our focus. There were bodies to be buried. I walked through the bustling streets of Naples, the Mediterranean sun cast a warm glow over the city, bathing everything in a golden light. I slid on my sunglasses, blending in effortlessly among the mix of locals and tourists at the vibrant roadside café. With a quick glance, I spotted my target, maintaining a cool demeanor as I ordered a coffee. He sat there with his mistress, sharing what seemed like a harmless breakfast rendezvous. I bided my time, sipping my coffee casually, but never losing sight of him. It was his ritual, unfailingly leaving his hom
Lilianna»»»◈«««I awoke to find him embracing me from behind, his arm wrapped securely around my waist as if I were his own.As I shifted in his arms, a small part of me couldn't deny the warmth and comfort of his embrace. But let's not get carried away, I reminded myself. This was just a temporary arrangement, a fleeting moment in time. With a playful roll of my eyes, I extricated myself from his grasp.I let out a sleepy yawn and stretched my limbs, feeling the tension release from my muscles. Walking over to the mirror, I smoothed down my hair and stole a glance back at him. Even in sleep, he looked adorable. Then again, with those looks, he could probably make anything look cute.I reached for his crisp white shirt and slipped it over my naked body, fastening the buttons one by one. Bringing the collar to my nose, I inhaled deeply, savoring the lingering scent of his cologne. Good Lord, I couldn't get enough of it.Strolling through his penthouse, I couldn't resist the urge to sno
Lilianna»»»◈«««I leaned back, desperately seeking something to hold onto, but my hands found only the soft curves of my own breasts.I never thought our final day together would be like this, with me straddling his face, grinding against his mouth as if it were a sanctuaryHe forced me to sit on his face. He kept on begging and pleading until he resorted to forcing me when I kept saying no, afraid I might suffocate him. Apparently, he wanted to be suffocated between my thighs.He said, 'If I go out that way, it’d be the best damn way to die.'He lay on his back, only in his boxers, and instructed me to straddle his face with my ass first. Suddenly, those bi-weekly vagacials seemed completely worthwhile."Good God," I groaned as he devoured me with his tongue. I moaned, my mind racing with the realization of how incomplete my life had been without this. And how incomplete it will be from now on. Then he gripped the back of my neck, pushing me down until my face was at eye level with

He's fixated on a Costello with power, not just any of us," Niko disclosed, his hand sliding across the nape of his neck. "Then you marry her," Scott chuckled.Evangeline shot him a seething glare, and I suppressed my laughter to avoid further aggravating her. It was our favourite pass time anyway, annoying Evangeline till she burst with anger. Niko brushed her cheek tenderly. "What do you think, Angel? Can I handle being a groom for like the fourth fucking time?"She swatted his hand away, her voice dripping with menace. "Over your dead body."Scott's grin widened as he leaned back in his chair. "Sounds like a challenge," he retorted, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. With a swift motion, he slid his gun across the table, stopping it in front of Evangeline. "Do the honors, sweet cheeks." Evangeline's eyes n
Marco»»»◈«««I drove the knife into his hand, relishing the sickening squelch as it pierced flesh. His screams were feeble, pathetic. Prolonged torture does that to a man. For once, I found myself favoring knives over guns, appreciating their capacity to deliver relentless agony and suffering.As the blood pooled around his trembling hand, a smirk tugged at my lips. It was a satisfying sight. For fifteen days, I subjected Georgio Bruno to relentless torment, making sure that every moment was a living hell for him. He would fucking regret the day he ever crossed paths with us, I made damn sure of it.Day after day, I relentlessly tore into him, exploiting every shred of weakness, every hint of vulnerability, every phobia. Georgio and his two bastard brothers walked into New York, thinking they could throw their weight around and scare us shitless with their leverage.The thing is, their leverage was solid. It had the power to tear the Costello name to shreds, to drag us through the
Marco »»»◈««« My life had taken a wild turn, and I was loving every damn second of it. Ever since Lilianna got pregnant, her sex drive went through the roof. I was on-call two times a day, making sure my dick was ready whenever she needed it. Despite her long hours on set, she always had time for me, and I wasn’t complaining. She had this thing for spicy food now. She’d eat it, then cry because it burned, and I'd laugh my ass off while comforting her. Nights were the best. Sliding under the covers, I’d press my hand against her swollen belly, feeling our daughter move. Elena Rose Costello. I chose the name and had the nursery decked out with everything she’d need. I knew it was a girl; I could feel it in my bones. Lilianna would tease, “What if it’s a boy? Are you going to dress him up in all that pink?” I didn’t care. I knew it was my little girl. I was damn certain. Just like I was damn certain I was blessed. Just like I was damn certain I was in love. Just like I was dam

Lilianna »»»◈««« I stepped out of the limousine, the blinding flashes of cameras immediately assaulting my senses. The red carpet stretched out before me like a river of fire, leading to the grand entrance of the theater. My heart pounded in my chest, a mix of excitement and nerves, as I took a deep breath and squared my shoulders. This was it. My first movie premiere. I smoothed the skirt of my gown, a shimmering emerald green that Marco had picked out for me. It hugged my curves perfectly, making me feel like a Hollywood starlet from a bygone era. As I walked, the fabric flowed around my legs, giving me a sense of grace and confidence. “Lilianna! Over here!” “Lilianna, who are you wearing tonight?” “Lilianna, how does it feel to be here?” The voices of the reporters and photographers blended into a cacophony of noise, but I forced myself to smile and wave, trying to ignore the butterflies in my stomach. Marco was just a few steps behind me, his strong hand resting gently on m
Lilianna »»»◈««« I held Marcello tightly in my arms as we stepped out of the car, my heart pounding. I glanced nervously at Marco, uncertain how everyone would react to meeting Marcello. Samuele, Gabriele, Amalia, and Rio stood waiting inside our grand estate. Marcello's eyes widened in shock as he took in the sight of the massive house. "Whose home is that?" he asked in Italian. I knew it would take time for him to learn English so he could talk with the other kids here. I was determined to teach him everything myself. Marco stepped up beside me, gently brushing his hand against his cheek, "It's ours," he said. "You live here?" Marcello's eyes were filled with disbelief. I nodded, trying to infuse my voice with as much softness as I could muster, "We do, and from now on, this will be your home too." The way Marcello stared at the estate broke my heart. The images of his previous life flashed through my mind. I vowed to erase those memories, to give him a fresh st
Marco »»»◈««« The limo came to a halt outside Cala del Leone, the final surprise I had planned for her. The secluded private beach lay just outside Florence, hidden away from the world. We stepped out into the cool night air, the sound of the waves crashing softly against the shore. A table was set up near the water’s edge, decorated with flickering candles and fresh flowers. The ocean stretching out endlessly under the moonlight. Lilianna turned to me, her eyes questioning. "What’s this?" I took her hand, guiding her to the table. "Our honeymoon," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. I pulled out a chair for her, and she sat down, her gaze never leaving mine. We were greeted with a bottle of Dom Pérignon champagne, a private Michelin-starred chef preparing our dinner, and a live orchestra playing beautiful pieces just for us. As we settled in, I poured the champagne, the bubbles rising in the glass like tiny stars. The first course was served, and we began to eat.
Marco »»»◈««« I held her hand, her delicate fingers interlaced with mine, and on her face was a happiness I had never seen before. She seemed truly happy and at peace. And honestly, so was I. After such a long and excruciating time, I finally felt at peace, like I was finally back home after I had been missing for years. Even though I had just met Marcello, I felt an intense connection to that little man, a feeling stronger than anything I had ever experienced. The last time I felt this enchanted by someone was when I first met his mother. He had the same captivating charm, the kind that draws you in, just like his mother. I’m a father. Damn, I’m a father, and I have been for the past five years, almost six if you count Lilianna's pregnancy. And I never knew. All this time, even without knowing about him, it doesn't change the fact that I was a father. An adorable boy, carrying my father's legacy, my legacy... I couldn't wait to teach Marcello everything I knew, guide him, an
Lilianna »»»◈««« The sight of him hit me like a punch to the gut. His small frame, fragile and vulnerable, the wide eyes full of innocent fear that twisted my heart. Those same blue eyes, unforgettable and haunting, locked onto mine after a quick, seeking glance at Betty. Each heartbeat felt like an eternity as I watched him take tentative steps forward, clutching a stuffed giraffe as if it were his only shield against the world. His eyes, flickering between Betty, me, and Marco, scanned us up and down. Betty knelt before him, her grip firm on his small arms. "Francesco," she said gently, "this lady and her husband are our friends. They are here to take us away, to help us. Now go, greet them while I pack a bag, she told him and he nodded. As he walked closer to me, every instinct screamed at me to scoop him up, to hold him tight. Tears welled up, blurring my vision. I fought the urge and knelt down, forcing a smile. "Hello, Francesco..." For a moment, he hesitated. Then, with a
Lilianna »»»◈««« I knocked on yet another door, each impact sending sharp stings through my bruised knuckles. My fingers throbbed, raw from the relentless pounding, but I couldn't stop. Marco and I had vowed to scour every house in this neighborhood. The door creaked open, revealing a middle-aged woman with suspicious eyes. Her frown deepened as she took me in, "Cosa vuoi?" she demanded. ("What do you want?") I held up a photograph of Beatrice Berlusconi, my voice trembling with hope. "Hai visto questa donna? Sai dove abita?" I asked. ("Have you seen this woman? Do you know where she lives?") She squinted at the picture through her glasses, her gaze sharpening as she continued talking in Italian, "Oh, that's Betty..." Relief washed over me, a powerful tide that nearly knocked me off balance. Marco stepped forward, his presence grounding me as he placed a steadying hand on my back. "Can you tell us where she is?" His voice was calm, but the tension in his grip showed his impatien
Lilianna »»»◈««« "We're never going to find him, are we?" I murmured, my voice barely rising above a whisper as I leaned heavily against the crumbling wall of the grimy alley in Le Piagge. I scanned the filthy surroundings, the stench of decay and neglect assaulting my senses. Trash littered the narrow passage, and the flickering streetlights cast eerie shadows that danced on the graffiti-covered walls. A rat scurried across my path, disappearing into the darkness. My heart sank further. How could a child survive here? The thought gnawed at me. While I lived in my mansions and penthouses, my son was out there, walking these streets. Fear clutched my heart. Marco's fingers brushed my cheek, and I flinched, recoiling from his touch. Since that night with Kason and Anna, a chilling dread had settled deep within me. Any contact from Marco now made my skin crawl, dragging me back to those moments of utter helplessness. I couldn't forget how powerless I felt as Anna ruthlessly ended
