Mafia Men VI - Alessandro's Games Chapter 19 - A dull evening
Alessandro ☩══♛══☩ Domenico Costello had three sons—Luciano, Mario, and Vito. In our world, the family order means everything. Luciano, being the eldest, naturally became the Don, taking the weight of the family legacy on his shoulders. Mario, his second-in-command, the Underboss, was his trusted shadow. My father, Vito? He was the muscle. The enforcer. The one sent when words failed and blood needed spilling. He thrived in that chaos. Luciano had a son, Nikolai, to carry on his name. Mario had Marco, the heir to his empire. Then there was my father, Vito. His first child was Bianca, from his marriage to his perfect, first wife. Bianca Costello was everything the family could’ve asked for in a daughter—poised, elegant, and everyone's favorite girl. But Vito wasn’t the faithful kind like his brothers. He never was. He cheated on Bianca’s mother with my mother—his mistress at the time. And when she got pregnant with me, he did the unthinkable in the history of the Costello fa
Mafia Men VI - Alessandro's Games Chapter 20 - Initiation
Viviane ☩═✦═☩ I don't do well with ignorance. If someone dares to ignore me, I’ll make sure they feel what it’s like to be invisible—twice as hard and with a smile. I’ll make it my mission to show them just how irrelevant they are to me. And I do it with a smile. See, it’s not about pettiness—it’s strategy. I’ll make sure my silence speaks louder than anything you could ever say. It’s funny, really, how people underestimate subtlety. They think it’s weakness, that silence means submission. They couldn’t be more wrong. Silence, when used properly, is a weapon. I’ve mastered the art of making someone realize they’re nothing without ever lifting a finger. It’s more fun that way—watching them figure it out on their own, bit by bit. That's what I've been doing for the past three days, I’ve perfected the art of vanishing. Every time Alessandro storms out of his office like a hurricane, barking orders and looking for someone to rip apart, I slip into the background like a shadow. Wh
Mafia Men VI - Alessandro's Games Chapter 21 - Piece of fucking cake.
Viviane ☩═✦═☩ Anticipation isn’t really my thing. It’s that kind of gnawing unease that sits heavy in your gut, like waiting for the punchline of a joke that’s never coming, like being stuck on the edge of something, teetering between what could go wrong and what probably will. I’d rather skip the suspense and cut straight to the point—because waiting around just makes my skin crawl. I watched as the last of them filed out, leaving the place eerily quiet, just Alessandro and me left on the floor. The air felt thick, the kind of heavy that clings to your skin, making you all too aware of the silence that follows. It’s weird, right? I didn’t even blink when he broke into my apartment that night, like he owned the place. But now? Now there’s this tension hanging in the air, this unspoken challenge. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but there’s something about tonight that’s got me on edge. Not scared, just… aware. It’s like I’m standing at the edge of something, and I’m not sure
Mafia Men VI - Alessandro's Games Chapter 22 - High-stakes maneuver
Viviane ☩═✦═☩ I don't screw up, ever. When I set my sights on something, there's no 'maybe' in the equation—it's as good as done. Once I’ve locked onto a target, I become a relentless force. Obstacles? Just part of the scenery. Setbacks? They’re fuel for my fire. Call it what you want—stubbornness, tenacity, obsession—I don’t really care. What matters is that when I start something, I don’t stop until it’s finished, and finished on my terms. The world can try to throw me off course, but I’m like a freight train with no brakes. You either get on board or get out of the way, because nothing is going to keep me from crossing that finish line. Some might call it a flaw, but I think it’s my best asset. In a world where people are quick to quit, to make excuses, to settle for ‘almost’ or ‘good enough,’ I’m the one who pushes harder, digs deeper, and won’t rest until I’m standing on top with my goal in my hands. And trust me, there’s nothing sweeter than that moment when I look
Mafia Men VI - Alessandro's Games Chapter 23 - A Liability
Viviane ☩═✦═☩ It’s rare for me to be at a loss for words. I’ve talked my way out of more trouble than most people even know exists. But then there are moments—moments like this—where words just fail me. When everything I’m feeling hits me so hard, I can barely breathe. It’s like a tight fist around my throat, and no matter how much I try to swallow it down, it doesn’t budge. Feelings have a way of messing with your head, making you second-guess yourself. Normally, I’d say screw feelings, and keep it moving. But when it comes to her? When it comes to Fliss, it’s different. With her, I don’t need to think. I don’t need to protect myself from my own instincts or worry about my judgment being clouded. She’s the one person in my life who I can let my guard down around, the one person I trust without needing a backup plan. And trust doesn’t come easy for me. Hell, I’ve never done it—not with my siblings, and definitely not with my parents. I’m a vault, locked up tight, and everyone’s o
Mafia Men VI - Alessandro's Games Chapter 24 - Miscalculated
Viviane ☩═✦═☩ I don't like being pushed into a corner. It’s like having a noose tightening around my neck with every move I make. And I don’t do well when I’m boxed in. I start looking for cracks, any way to break free. I don’t panic, I don’t freeze. I start thinking and strategizing. And all I could come up with was Brandon Kane. "The Westies?!" Brandon’s voice boomed through the room, his eyes blazing with a mixture of anger and disbelief. "Do you have any idea what it’s like to hear those words coming out of your little sister’s mouth? The sister I’ve spent my whole life protecting suddenly talking about taking down a criminal group like it’s nothing?" I met his gaze, trying to stay calm. "Brandon, I’m not the same little sister anymore. I have grown up, I know what I’m doing. I just need your help to keep them off my back, create a distraction, or something." His expression hardened, his jaw clenching as he took a step closer. "And you think that just because you’v
Mafia Men VI - Alessandro's Games Chapter 25 - Mercy
Viviane ☩═✦═☩ I had screwed up, and I knew it. Believe me, I was no stranger to mistakes—I had a whole history of them, a laundry list of times I’d royally messed things up. But this one? This one stung differently, hit harder. It was like I could feel the weight of every bad decision I’d ever made piling up on my shoulders, and yeah, it pissed me off. I was furious at myself for being careless, for letting things spiral out of control, for not being sharper, quicker, better. But the anger wasn’t just directed inward. It burned hot, flaring up every time I thought about the situation I was in. I couldn’t stand the thought of letting anyone—especially someone like Alessandro—see me as a failure, as someone who couldn’t handle her shit. I wasn’t one to back down or wallow in regret, but this? It gnawed at me, clawing its way through my thoughts, and I couldn’t shake the frustration, the annoyance. How the hell had I let it get to this point? Every part of me screamed to fi
Mafia Men VI - Alessandro's Games Chapter 26 - Ghost
Viviane ☩═✦═☩ Holy Shit! I rarely get this nervous. I hadn’t been that nervous since I was waiting for my final exam results. And even then, I didn’t feel as off-kilter as I did now. My whole body is buzzing, like I was hooked up to a live wire. It was that kind of feeling where I knew something big was about to happen, and I was caught between wanting to run toward it and bolt the other way. Every nerve in me was on edge, my brain working overtime trying to play it cool, even though all I wanted to do was roll my eyes at how ridiculous it was. Ghost’s text flashed across my screen: “Send me your address.” I had sent it to him hours ago, and he responded with his usual cryptic edge, warning that he wouldn’t tell me when he’d show up or give any other details. It was all part of his game—keeping me on edge, making sure I never felt too comfortable. My fingers hovered over the screen for a moment, re-reading his message as if it would reveal more than it did. But there was noth
