{EDMONDO'S POV}

*

I stand by the door, my hand resting on the frame as the voices behind me slice through the silence of the hallway. I don't leave fully as I wait to hear the remarks Massimo might make.

Not like I don't trust Luigi to give me the full information of whatever Massimo blurts out.. I just waited, perhaps he'd tell Luigi which of my brothers killed my men.

Massimo’s voice is low, venomous, dripping with malice when he says. “You still… you still have those affections for him, don’t you, Luigi? You’re shit.”

I hear Luigi’s sharp intake of breath. There’s a taut pause, and then he answers with a rough and defensive voice. “It’s none of your business, you know.”

The silence is broken by Massimo’s snort, a harsh, mocking sound. “None of my business? You don’t think it is? You’re still his little pet, his lapdog, his creature. He doesn’t even ask you. He just calls you his dog, Luigi. How does that feel? To be love

    {CARA'S POV}**Sitting in his room is getting boring. It’s a constant reminder of the mark he just created on my face. I need to walk around.Blueberries.The faint scent of blueberries wafts through the air as I step into the grand sitting room. It’s everywhere in this estate, but here, it’s stronger.The smell is sweet yet overpowering—nothing like Edmondo, who smells exactly like it. It coats the space with a strange illusion that Edmondo is here. Here with me in this cold, towering estate.For a moment, I think I’m alone with just the illusion of Edmondo. Then I see her.She stands by the window, her back to me, gazing out at the dreary garden with a few bottles of… something in her hand.Her dark curls tumble down her back, catching the faint light seeping through the heavy curtains. Her posture is poised but casual. Every movement is deliberate, like she knows she’s being watched.My stomach tightens.There’s something about her—something disturbingly similar… similar to Agata

    {CARA'S POV} * * Burn. I spoke savage to her and she didn't like it. She shoves the bottles into my hands with so much force that they clink together dangerously. Her face is a thundercloud, her eyes hard and cold. “Take them,” she snaps. Then she turns and storms out of the room. Thanks to her movements that are jerky and filled with barely restrained anger, I could tell my words pained her. I watch her go. My chest is still tightening with unease. Her energy was off compared to the white lotus energy she gave off the first time I saw her. This one was prickly, volatile and I could somehow tell this feels like more than just her usual irritation. She hates me. She hates every ‘fling’ she's ever caught with Edmondo. But, in my case, her hate for me is much worse now. The door swings open, letting in a sharp gust of wind that ruffles the blank papers on the desk. From my position by the window, I catch a glimpse of her standing outside. Talking to some men

    {EDMONDO'S POV}**It hasn’t even been an hour since I left. Forty minutes; at most. Barely enough time for the world to shift. But here I am, standing in the doorway, watching the scene that makes my blood boil.Cara.She’s sitting there, laughing. Not just a polite laugh. Not the kind of chuckle she offers to smooth over awkward moments. This is different. Genuine. Carefree. Her shoulders are relaxed. Her face is glowing, her laughter spilling out into the room like it belongs there.And with who?A fucking foreigner.Not just any foreigner… fucking Oliver. A man I brought here. My hitman. My dog. One of mine.My grip tightens around the gun in my hand as I watch them. He’s sitting across from her, smiling like a fool, leaning in slightly as if whatever he said was the most interesting thing in the world. And Cara...She’s letting him.The scene is very clear. But to me it doesn’t make sense. It shouldn’t be happening.She’s mine.Not in the way people are possessions; but in

    {CARA'S POV}**I shut the bathroom door behind me, pressing my back against it as if the wooden frame could somehow shield me from everything outside. My hands are trembling, my chest is tight, and the tears are already welling up in my eyes. I try to swallow them back. But it’s like holding back a storm.I twist the lock until I hear the faint click, but the sound doesn’t bring the relief I hoped for. My breath hitches as I press my palm against my chest. I am willing my heart to slow down. I can’t fall apart. Not yet. Not here.My eyes flicker to the mirror, and I catch a glimpse of myself: disheveled, flushed, and broken. The person staring back at me feels like a stranger. My hair is a mess, my cheeks streaked with dried tears, and my eyes… my eyes look so empty.I look pathetic.I shove myself away from the mirror, unable to stand the sight of myself any longer. The bathroom is too small, too suffocating. The walls feel like they’re closing in, pressing down on me with every

    {GIOVANNI'S POV}**“Help my sister! She's in trouble. They took her!” She is a wild bull on the loose. Even with the strength of the drug we used, coupled with her frail appearance, it wasn’t easy to get her to calm down. But the girl has a fight in her; relentless, desperate fight. She thrashes and screams, clawing at my arms as if her life depends on it.Because it does.It takes everything in me to hold her still. Her screams echo in the cold valley behind the gates of Trento, where we found her earlier. She’d been shouting, frantic, begging for someone.. anyone, to help her sister. Of course, we didn’t know her. But we couldn’t let her loose. She was too volatile, too loud. She needed to be silenced.Finally, her struggle weakens. Her movements slow, and the screaming dies in her throat. The drug takes over, and her body goes limp in my arms. Thank fuck for that.I glance at her, really seeing her now for the first time and I notice the ‘I’ carved in rose tattoo. She's a

    {GIOVANNI'S POV}**“Giovanni.”It’s my father.I already feel nervous, and he’s only said my name so far. He only called when he wanted to speak to Edmondo or ask about Edmondo.“Yes, Father,” I respond.“Don’t call me that,” he barks, and I curse myself for overstepping. I always make the same fucking mistake, even though he’s made it clear he doesn’t see me as a son.Well, actually I wasn't his son. I wasn't even adopted.. that's a sweet word. I was picked up. Picked up, given the name ‘D’ Avi’ only to be an at-your-service soldier to Edmondo. A rabid dog sent out to ravage the victims only Edmondo chooses. I don’t mind this life. I love Edmondo. I wouldn't care too if Edmondo commands me to kill this innocent signorina next to me after taking her to him. I’ll only deliver the blow.Then she stirs in her unconsciousness. Her lips part with a soft pop, and I’m

    {EDMONDO'S POV}**I stand outside my room, fists clenched so hard my knuckles ache. Every goddamn bone in my body screams that something’s wrong. Giovanni’s not here yet. Cara’s not answering. And Donnie’s standing behind me, looking as useless as ever, fiddling with his gun like this is a goddamn picnic.“Where the fuck is Giovanni?” I snap, not bothering to turn around.Donnie, my Consigliere who had gone with me to see Giordano, clears his throat, shifting his weight like a nervous kid caught skipping class. “Uh, Giovanni’s with your father, boss. Tracking him toward the east edge. He’s taken some men.”“Of course he has.” I grind my teeth. The sharp pain anchors me as rage curls hot in my chest. My father had gone to meet Giovanni at the Trento back gate? Hmmm.. in presence of my father, Giovanni always becomes a loyal fucking mutt. I just hope he can handle my father and whatever reason made my father go to him.I bang on the door again, harder this time. My voice cut through

    {CARA'S POV}**“Did you just fucking try to drown yourself?” Edmondo’s voice slices through the silence, and it's so loud right now.My breath hitches as his words sink in. But the sound of his boots hitting the floor; slow, deliberate, predatory, drowns out everything else. My back presses harder against the cool tiles, water dripping from my hair and bare skin, leaving me shivering and exposed. He’s coming closer, one step at a time. His dark eyes locks on me like a wolf cornering its prey.“Answer me.” His tone is low, calm. But it’s laced with a threat that makes my stomach knot.I force myself to look at him, even as my body screams at me to run. The man standing before me isn’t just Edmondo. He isn’t just the Don of the North, the cold, calculating bastard who tore my life apart piece by piece. This is someone else entirely.But fuck, I can’t tell if that’s better or worse.This isn’t the

    {LUIGI’S POV}**You don’t crawl back to Edmondo D’ Avi. Not after you’ve fucked up like I did. And definitely not unless you’ve got a death wish.I lurk in the shadows now, watching him from a distance like some pathetic ghost. I don’t deserve to stand in his light anymore, not after the shitstorm I brought down on him with Massimo. But I still love him. I’d still kill for him. Maybe one day I’ll even die for him. That’s all I’ve got left to offer; a loyalty he doesn’t even fucking know is still here.The tunnel’s cold and damp. This is the kind of place where rats thrive and bodies disappear. I blend into the dark like a goddamn phantom, watching Edmondo square off with the Irish Consigliere.Donnelly.I’ve heard his name whispered in back rooms and barrooms. The Irish Consigliere is a legend. A man with a silver tongue and an iron fist. He’s sharp as a switchblade and

    {EDMONDO'S POV} * * The bastard’s trying to rile me up. And it’s working. My hand itches to reach for my knife. But I hold back. Not yet. Not here. He surely didn't come here to hug but to attack. “You’ve got balls, I’ll give you that,” I say, my voice is low and cutting. “But balls won’t save you when you’re six feet under.” “Ah, but I’ve no intention of being buried tonight,” he replies, his smile fading as his eyes harden. “I came here to talk.” Talk? “Talk?” I spit the word out like it tastes bad. “The Irish don’t talk. You threaten, you scheme, and you stab people in the back. So, cut the bullshit and tell me why you’re really here.” Donnelly shrugs. His movements are quite slow. Slow like a poison but delib

    {EDMONDO’S POV} * * If there's anything I hate about myself, it's the lack of patience towards bastards. I hate chasing ghosts. The Irish Consigliere; a slippery bastard, is the kind of problem I like to solve immediately… with a bullet. Fast, simple, no bullshit. But here I am, trudging through this piss-soaked tunnel, hunting him down because my men couldn’t catch him outright. The underground reeks of rot, mildew, and something worse. Darkness. They all cling to my suit like a second skin. This isn’t where a man like me: The Don belongs, no, I should be sitting in the estate, drinking my scotch and celebrating the little blocks I've set for the empire I'm building. But ghosts don’t respect empires. They sneak in, lurk and poke around, and see how much they can steal before they vanish. And this ghost? I’ll make sure he vanis

    {GIOVANNI’S POV}**So, I left her.It wasn’t like I didn’t have a choice. I could’ve stayed back with her. Hell, a part of me wanted to. But I just... I just walked away.She knew my name, but I didn’t bother learning hers. Why would I? She was just a kid. Well, legal, barely 18, so no problem there, right? That’s how it goes. First time, one time. No strings, no complications.She wasn’t special. To me, she was just another warm body in a long, forgettable list of bitches. Names? Faces? They didn’t matter when you lived a shitty life as mine. So, in summary, thanks to my shitty life, I took what I wanted. When I wanted. And moved on.But damn. There was something about her.Not love or anything stupid like that; let’s not get carried away. But there was this way she looked at me, like she saw past the bullshit. Like she could strip me down to nothing with just her eyes.It pissed me of

    {INGRID'S POV} * * Sharp, threatening voices wake me up the next morning. I stir from my sleep, waking up in a heap on the floor. I must have rolled over from the mat. My bones are aching from the position I slept in still, and I realize I must have fallen asleep sometime during the night. Wait. Hold up. I feel somewhere else too. Oh…yeah. Uncle. Uncle and I had sex. What's that pain? I look up to my wrists. The bind. The bind have rubbed my skin raw and my sleeping arrangement made my whole body sore and tense the more. Why didn't he take off the bind? But the most important thing right now are the voices. I hear them out in the hallway, deep and unfamiliar. And I think they're coming towards… here. I crawl into the corner of the room and pull up Mr. Giovanni's leather coat. He must have left it here after we…, probabl

    {INGRID'S POV}**“Put your hands above your head,” he tells me.I do, looking into his eyes as I obey.My mind turns to the first time I saw him when I awoke in here. I can practically feel his hands on me as he holds me down, the intense powerlessness I felt at their touch.I breathe deeply, calming the emotions that race through me at the thought.I feel his hands on my wrists, pushing them together. The tie slides around them, the same fabric as before caressing my sensitive skin. I feel as it begins to tighten and look up to watch.He binds my wrists tightly, securing them with practiced hands.I give them a tug, experimenting with the length. The constraint leaves me feeling utterly powerless, and I wonder at the spark that spreads through me at the thought of it.I turn to find his eyes. They pierce me in question.I answer with my own, my chest heaving in anticipation. I

Sparks burn through me in a high blaze.Every touch of his fingers, every flick of his tongue, and I’m burning up and I can’t find it in me to care.I never knew that anything could be as intense as the pleasure racing through me now. One moment I’m unthinking, lost in it completely. The next I’m so overwhelmed, I feel the need to run away.How much can I possibly take?No one’s ever touched me the way Mr. Giovanni is now. No one has ever looked at me with the fire presently burning through his brown eyes. I feel ready to collapse under that gaze.This man is more than I ever thought a person capable of being. With every movement, with every touch, he’s showing me that I am not alone.Loneliness has always been my phobia, my hate.. but Mr. Giovanni.. no, Uncle is telling me, showing me that I'm not alone now.I scream ‘Un

A bloody stupid move,” I say, not knowing what else to say or how to just get her in there and pull away and end this cat and mouse rubbish.Though, I want to be with her. That's why I left Edmondo and came here.I want to finish what we’ve just started too.She looks at me with rage and fear all over her face and demeanor. “Just let me go. I owe you nothing and all you want to do is take advantage of me.”She looks at me, daring me to say the truth. She knows it, and I know it. We’re walking the faint line between lust and abomination. I knew from the moment I set eyes on her, loosing her cool and yelling for someone to save her sister, that she was going to be different and nice to own.This is lust. Compared to love… this… lust… It’s a lot more complicated than I ever would’ve thought. I pull

And I know it's so damn wrong, but I just can't resist. He's done something to me, definitely. He has messed with my head and played with my heart. All on the first day.It's like I'm the puppet and he's pulling on every one of my strings.He's breathing heavily, and he gently pushes down my panties until my hip bones poke out. I hiss as the air hits my skin. Mr. Giovanni groans when his fingers connect with my feverish body. "God," he says. "So fucking delicious. So damn wrong. I can't resist. I'm sorry, bambina, but I'm not even going to try to resist."With that, his fingers push off my white lacy panties and I arch my back, helping him along. What the hell am I doing?
