Arabella

Six followed me until I reached the restroom. I glared at him before walking in, hatred burning in my veins at the way he shadowed my every move.

Just as I was about to shut the door, he put his foot between it. “I’ll be out here waiting for you,” he said, his voice cold and possessive.

I didn’t reply. I tried to close the door again, but he didn’t move his foot.

“Don’t lock it,” he instructed, eyes narrowing with suspicion that made my stomach clench.

I huffed and nodded. He pulled away, and I shut the door. My heart was thumping so hard in my chest that I was sure everyone in the building could hear it.

I carefully tiptoed around, my eyes scanning the dimly lit space for something, anything, that could aid my escape. I wasn’t just searching for a temporary outlet; I was searching for a way out of the life that threatened to trap me.

Near the far corner, half-hidden by a streak of moonlight, I spotted a large, unguarded window. My pulse quickened. Without a second thought, I

    SixTen years. Ten fucking years of blood, bullets, and brotherhood.I stared at the ornate ceiling of Don Vincenzo’s study, counting the cherubs painted in some long-dead artist’s vision of heaven. Ironic, considering the hell that transpired in the room below them.I lifted my gaze back to his, remembering all those stern lessons from my childhood. The Don had drilled it into me countless times: a man who couldn’t maintain eye contact wasn’t worthy of respect or trust.Even now, I could hear his voice in my head, sharp with contempt for those he considered weak.In our world, weakness wasn’t just a flaw – it was an invitation to the grave. So I held his stare, steady and unwavering, even as my pulse thundered in my ears.“You understand what you’re asking, Six?” The Don’s voice carried the weight of tradition. Of rules written in blood. “La fratellanza is for life.”I kept my expression neutral, years of training holding my features in check. “I understand, Don Vincenzo. But I’ve se

    CarmenI fled the house in a blur of motion, rage burning so hot in my chest it scorched away all rational thought. My father’s voice boomed behind me, each word a command that made less and less sense as the blood rushed in my ears.The tears came unbidden, stinging my eyes, threatening to spill over – but I wouldn’t let them fall. Not yet. Not here. I wouldn’t give him that victory. My father had taught me that tears were weakness, and today – of all days – I wouldn’t be weak. Not when he was wrong. Not when everything he’d said felt like betrayal.The key fob shook in my hand as I pressed the ignition button from a distance. The engine roared to life, offering me a way out.I quickly jumped into the driver’s seat, glancing at the security guards in my rearview mirror as they rushed out of their posts in concern. I hit the gas, leaving them behind as I sped down the driveway.I arrived at the club and parked at the entrance. Maybe what I needed was one wild night—a night away from m

    SixThat was all the prompting I needed. As I closed the distance between us, I took off the remaining clothing I had on. Her eyes widened in surprise, and she instinctively took a few steps back.“Get on your knees,” I ordered.Her hesitation was evident as she stared up at me, trying to gauge my intentions. I walked up to her and wrapped my hand around her neck in a firm chokehold, not tight, but enough to command her attention.I held her gaze, watching emotions flicker across her face. First, shock, then realization.“Get on your knees, Carmen. You will do as I say, or I won’t fuck you.” My lips twisted into a faint smirk.I saw the internal battle reflected on her face. I was a stranger, and this was humiliating for her. She’d probably expected a simple one-night stand with no complications, no power struggles.While I wanted the same, my desire had taken on a peculiar edge. Something about her - her curvy, gorgeous body or maybe the way her defiance stirred me, made me want to l

    SixMorning arrived too soon, sunlight streaming through curtains I didn’t remember closing. The sheets beside me were empty but still warm.The muffled sound of running water from the bathroom pulled me back into reality. Last night had been wild, too wild to forget.I closed my eyes, replaying flashes of Carmen’s face, her body, the way she screamed my name.My phone buzzed on the nightstand, cutting through the haze.

Complete it, and I’d finally leave this life behind.I got dressed quickly, slipping into my usual black-on-black attire.

    ArabellaI walked into the gala, each step measured, each movement draped in a practiced smile. Outside, I was elegance personified. Inside, I was unraveling.My palms were clammy, my heartbeat thrumming uncomfortably fast. But no one could know. I kept my posture impeccable, waving at a few familiar faces as I passed.Still, my thoughts kept spiraling back to that moment at the Capo’s mansion—the moment Marco’s hand landed on my waist, possessive and suffocating.His touch still lingered, a phantom weight on my skin. “Six,” Marco had declared, his voice carrying across the room like a spotlight. “Come meet my fiancée. She’s a beautiful woman, you’ll see.”I had glanced up then, the air in my lungs catching as my gaze collided with his. Six. The man I’d worked so hard to forget. The man whose penetrating eyes could strip me bare in a way that no one else ever had.The memories of that night came flooding back - sharp, vivid, relentless.

    SixKatherine’s eyes gleamed as she looked at me, a huge smile on her lips.Usually, I would have enjoyed the attention. She was a beautiful woman, probably the daughter of one of the powerful men in the room.I would have engaged with her, stared into those flirty eyes just for the fun of it, but I couldn’t.The thought wasn’t all that appealing anymore, not when she was right beside me, and I could feel her eyes traveling over me. I wondered what she was thinking, what was running through her mind.I turned to look at her, and she raised a brow at me. I frowned, feeling confused.Katherine cleared her throat, a sheepish smile on her face. I turned back to her. “What?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Arabella came to my rescue. “Katherine said something. She was expecting a reply...”I stole a quick glance at her, wondering if there was a hint of jealousy in her voice or if it was all in my head. I turned back to stare at Katherine and flashed her one of my rare full smiles
