The hall glowed gold with chandeliers, men in black suits and cold eyes gathered like wolves in tailored skin. Ortensia stood by Vito’s side, dressed in red like he told her, her hands trembling though her face stayed frozen. She was his trophy tonight. His warning. His possession. He didn’t speak much, but his hand rested on her lower back like a brand, reminding everyone that she belonged to him. The air reeked of cigar smoke, and violence.One of the dons, a slick-haired bastard with a crooked grin, leaned closer. “She’s a rare gem, Vito,” he said, eyes dragging over Ortensia like he owned her gaze. “You sure she ain’t too much for you to handle?”Vito didn’t flinch, just sipped his whiskey, eyes on the man like a snake watching its prey. The don chuckled and leaned in further, placing his hand on the table, fingers drumming. “If she ever needs a real man…”It happened fast.Vito pulled the knife from his belt and drove it through the man's hand… flesh, bone, and table. One clean,
I kissed her with everything I’d been holding back… the rage, the betrayal, the hunger. It wasn’t gentle, and it wasn’t romantic, it was punishment, fury dragged from the pit of my chest and slammed against her lips. She gasped for air, but I didn’t let her. My mouth claimed hers as her body tensed, trying to fight me off, but I was far way stronger.One hand gripped her ass like I owned it, my fingers digging deep, and squeezing it softly. The other tangled in her hair, yanking her face closer. I kissed her like she was the oxygen I’d been starved of, like she owed me breath.My mouth devoured hers… my tongue pushing past her resistance, teeth catching her lower lip. She moaned, the sound half protest, half confusion, but I swallowed it whole. My hand slid down her thigh, slow and possessive.That’s when she pulled away, she stumbled back, her chest heaving, and her eyes wide with something between fear and disbelief. She turned, ready to flee, but I caught her wrist in a heartbeat a
The soft knock on the door made me sit up from the bed. I didn’t even know when I’d fallen asleep. Dragging myself up, tired and irritated, I shuffled to the door and yanked it open. Enzo stood there like he had something important to say.“What?” I snapped, already losing patience.“The housekeeper said Ortensia refused to eat.”Why the fuck was he telling me this?“If the bitch refuses to eat, let her starve. That’s her problem,” I muttered coldly, not even pretending to care.Enzo looked at me a second longer than necessary, then gave a curt nod. “Okay, boss,” he said and turned away.I thought it was something worth disturbing me about. What a damn joke, I eventually left the Play Space because I had a late meeting to attend later. Ortensia was not my concern, this is exactly the suffering I wanted her to go through, for what she and her bastard father did. She’ll pay, even if she keeps crying innocence and pretending not to know what the hell I’m talking about. I don’t buy it, s
ORTENSIAI felt someone join me into the pool and drag me out, but I struggle… it’s useless because it’s Vito. I’m already out of the pool, lying on the cold ground, and I snap at him, “I can’t fucking swim anymore? Is it a crime as well to you?” He scoffs at my words. “Are you so tired of life that you want to kill yourself, doll?” he asks, his voice laced with a twisted curiosity. What? Does he really think I want to commit suicide by drowning? But before I can even open my mouth to defend myself, he continues, “Not like I care, but I won’t let you die so easily. Where’s the fun in that? You have to suffer first before dying, doll.”I can’t believe him. He wants me to suffer. That’s why he did what he did earlier, trying to have sex with me. My virginity has saved me tonight. I know I’m going to lose it to this monster. He orders, “Stand up.” I don’t respond. He kneels beside me, his face close, his voice low and dark. “Your brother sold you. I didn’t buy a slave… I took a woman w
ORTENSIA “It’s been thirty minutes since we left my workplace, Cayden,” I said, my voice laced with frustration. My stepbrother remained silent, his long strides forcing me to keep up as we walked along the roadside. My legs ached, and I was already exhausted. I scoffed at his silence. Cayden’s arrogance was getting out of hand. He had the audacity to drag me from work to God-knows-where, all because he claimed he had my money in cash and needed to give it to me before he spent it. “Cayden,” I called again, coming to a stop. He finally turned to face me and said, “Chill the fuck out, Ortensia. This is the road to my new place, cupcake.” He licked his lower lip, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it. He took a deep drag before exhaling the smoke into the air. I hated that nickname. And I hated him even more for using it. Growing up with a single mother, I had learned to fend for myself. Things only got worse when she married Cayden’s father, another single parent. Unlike m
ORTENSIA “Forty million?” Even I was shocked at the amount someone was willing to pay to buy a human. I heard the bidder call out, “Forty million going once… twice… three times… we have our buyer!” Fear gripped me. I had never been this terrified in my entire life. Did this mean I was now his sex slave? Then firm hands grabbed me, lifting me off the ground. I was carried into a car, and we drove off. My heart pounded against my ribs, the fear suffocating me. Minutes later, the car came to a halt, and rough hands dragged me out. I had no idea where I was, but the moment the door shut behind me, silence filled the air. I was still trapped in the hooded sack, unable to see anything. My hands remained tied, but at least my legs had been freed. Moments later, the door creaked open. I heard approaching footsteps. My body tensed, dreading what would come next. Then, I felt my hands being untied, followed by the hooded sack being yanked off my head. Blinking against the dim light, my
VITO “Wait… a kiss?”She looked shocked, her lips parting slightly, but I didn’t stop. I moved in closer, my breath ghosting over hers, watching the way her chest rose and fell in uneven pants.Just as my lips were about to claim hers, my phone rang.I clenched my jaw, muttering under my breath, “Perché cazzo mi chiami?” (Why the fuck are you calling me?)Annoyed, I yanked the phone from my pocket and answered sharply. “Set the flight first thing tomorrow. And don’t fucking disturb me again, dumb wit.” I hung up before the idiot on the other end could respond.Slowly, I turned back to her, she was frozen, her wide eyes filled with something between fear and disbelief. Her hands clutched the fabric of her dress like it was the only thing keeping her standing.I smirked. That’s undoubtedly what I wanted.“Already scared?” I taunted, tilting my head.She shuddered. And then, finally, the tears she had been desperately holding back slipped free, trailing down her flushed cheeks.“Please…
VITO“I don’t like repeating myself,” I warned, but she stood frozen. I took a step toward her, but a knock on the door interrupted me. “Don V, I need a minute with you,” Enzo’s voice came from outside. I exhaled sharply. “Okay.” Ortensia let out a quiet sigh of relief, but I wasn’t going to let her off that easily. “You’re wrong if you think I’m fucking done with you,” I said venomously. “You better wait for me. We are not done.” Her face paled with confusion. I grabbed a pajama shirt and trouser, threw it on, and stepped out of the room to meet Enzo. “Che diavolo?” (What the hell?) “I’m sorry, Don V, but I need to show you something quickly,” Enzo said, handing me a file with details about Ortensia. It stated that she didn’t know her biological father. I arched a brow. “So what are you implying? That Ortensia might be innocent?” I let out a cold laugh. “You amuse me, Enzo. This is exactly why we should suspect her. They’ve hidden her real identity so well that no o

“I’m sorry,” I said sincerely, “I didn’t mean to Vito,” I added, my voice shaking, my heart in my throat like a guilty child caught with bloodied hands.He breathed and tried to steady his gums. “Leave,” he said softly, like he was trying to hold something bigger than rage down in his chest, like it was boiling and breaking his bones from the inside.But I walked to him, stupidly maybe, stubborn definitely, and said, “I didn’t mean to, please, it was a mis…” I couldn’t even finish my sentence when he snapped like a switch had flipped and all the heat in his veins turned to fire.“I said fucking leave this room this minute, bitch!” he yelled, punching the wall beside him so hard I jumped like I’d been shot. His knuckles split, blood smeared the wall like a warning sign, and I shook… I’ve never seen this side of him. Not this angry, not this lost.The fact that he had punched on the wall and bleed, this shows how angry he was. It wasn’t about me. Or maybe it was. Maybe I was the match t
His cock? Just hearing that made my heart jump. I quickly tried to pull away from him, but Vito was too strong. I struggled, panicking, and in the process, I slammed my leg hard against the wall below the mirror. A sharp pain shot up through me, and I screamed… loudly. Even Vito looked startled.It didn’t feel like I had just hit a wall. The pain was too much. Like something had already been hurt and now it was worse. Vito quickly turned me around to face him.“What’s the matter?” he asked, his eyes narrowing. For a second, I thought he looked worried. But then his expression changed, like he caught himself and pushed the concern away.“My leg… please, stop the pain,” I cried out, the tears already burning in my eyes.I slowly lowered myself onto the cold marble floor, holding my leg tightly. The pain was pulsing now. Vito bent down beside me and examined it, then sighed.“See here, Doll,” he said. “There’s a red sore. Looks swollen. Did you hit it somewhere?” he asked, his voice calm
“Play Space?”I don’t know if I was liking the way this conversation was going honestly, my body was already tensed, I could feel my breathing getting fast, I was suddenly feeling the heat.“Yes Doll, Play Space. Other than guns and rivals, I have other interesting space in my life, and in here you don’t have a say, you just do what you are told” He said and licked his lips.I swallowed hard, I swear I could feel the intensity of his word, they made me shiver, I’ll do what I’m told? Like that’s not what I’ve been doing ever since he bought me like he bought a snack in the auction house.“Ortensia..” he said drawing his words, “kneel” he added, and I gulped, this man was the kind of dominant and want to be the one with the power. I knew I had to obey him, it was not an option.I’ve come to decide that if I want to survive Vito, I have to obey his every command, failure to do so will come a great punishment.I find myself kneeling down slowly, “good girl“ he said and pat my hair, “see h

The ground was too cold for her body, and she couldn’t endure it any longer. The room was dark as night and she couldn't see anything. She tried to stay calm, but her heart was beating too fast. She stood up from the bed with weak legs, walked to the door, and s
ORTENSIA I didn’t look back when I had the chance to escape. I didn’t hesitate. The moment was short, a small window that could close any second, and I had to take it. Only the driver, an older man with a cold look, and Enzo, Vito’s burly, tough-looking guard, were with me. That made it easier. No army of guards, no tight security just them and me. My heart pounded as adrenaline rushed through my veins. I ran. I ran like my life depended on it because it did. The city blurred as I pushed forward. My breath was rough, my legs burned, but I refused to stop. My flats smacked against the pavement expensive, but useless for running. Still, I couldn’t slow down. Not yet. Then, like a miracle, I saw police officers. My heart leaped at the sight of their uniforms. I forced myself to run faster, closing the gap as quickly as I could. When I finally reached them, I nearly collapsed, gasping for breath. “Hey, miss, calm down,” one of the officers said, stepping closer with a concerned l
