THE MAFIA'S TOXIC OBSESSION Thirty five
GABRIELLE POVI should've just taken the shot, and taken the old man into the fucking grave. I punched at the heavy bag in rapid succession until I broke the barrier, my knuckles raw and bleeding. I crumbled to the floor, a migraine making itself known as my head thumped. Family? He never knew the meaning, he was always going to do whatever he wanted as the leader, not as a grandfather. I'd foolishly followed him like a puppet on his string, forgiving him for what he did to me, blaming myself for being weak. He should have never put me in the position to get hurt in the first place. The door to the boxing room opened slowly, making me alert, but the footsteps closing in on me felt familiar. Simone. I looked up at him, and he faltered in his step. He looked sad somehow, and I wondered what was bothering him... Surely he didn't have much to worry about "Your hand is bleeding," he said, a first aid kit in his hand. I waved him off."It's fine. I wanted to bleed a little. You'll need t

BLAKE MORENO POV.The rate of my heart was still not steady and I didn't want it to be. I gazed at the wall dazedly, color bursting behind my eyelid, my hands trailing over my lips as they throbbed in remembrance of the heated night that I'd shared with Gabrielle. My skin heated up as I pictured every minute detail of the night, the euphoria of it all. My brain felt off, it was like it was at war with itself. I shouldn't have let her win, but I would also give anything to feel what I'd felt in her arms that night. Gabrielle had broken me to the point that I'd come to crave her touch... her presence. It had been two days since the night I had her and she hadn't come to see me or call for me.I rubbed at my face in frustration. It was starting to feel pathetic that I was pinning over someone that I was supposed to hate. Gabrielle... Gabrielle, her name was a poison to my system. She'd messed me up, maybe that was why I didn't fight her hard enough. I was twice her size for God's sake

******April exhaled, smacking her head against the table. She was beyond frustrated and with everything coming to a standstill, she felt more and more restless.The ongoing investigation related to the alleged Genovese syndicate weapon and drug bust looked like it was going to be dropped since there was no evidence to tie them to the case and the two main witnesses that had been apprehended had died while in custody. Their death came as a shock to April, because when she'd interrogated them the day before, they were perfectly fine, then it was pandemonium everywhere once their lifeless body was discovered. They had been Poisoned to death under their watch- an inside job, probably those under the Genovese cartel payroll. The people in charge of the men were under investigation, but April was sure nothing would come out of it, not with the level of corruption that was sweeping through the precinct. April had only two suspects in mind, and it was either Gabrielle or her grandfather.

BURN PAYN POV.I watched the young man saunter into his room, his dyed green bed hair contrasting the blue of his eyes. I noticed his eyes widen as he took in the disarray of his room. A grin tugged at my lips as the boy jerked back once the shock of someone breaking into his room registered.He took faltering steps back, his interesting eyes darting across the barely illuminated room, searching for the culprit. I waited, chuckling to myself, it was fun to see the way his fingers trembled. I could see the appeal that he had for Gabrielle to notice him, dominate him even. He was cute, and if there was anything that turned me on, it was the pleasure of having and Killing anyone who had been with Gabrielle.Genovese might be a stubborn old fool, but he knew deep down that I was the only one who could tame Gabrielle, I was also the one who could rule the Genovese empire after he was gone, he was just afraid I'd kill all his family members, which he wasn't wrong about, I'll kill a lot of
THE MAFIA'S TOXIC OBSESSION Thirty nine
BLAKE MORENO POV."I already own your heart" Those doomed words of hers popped into my head each time I sat down to relax, making me agitated until I felt like screaming. What the fuck was this... Letting my captor get the better of me just because I couldn't keep my hands off her, was mortifying.I got out of my seat, pacing the depressing room that I had come back to after being defeated by Gabrielle in the boxing ring... Fine, maybe I let my guard down, and that was why she could overpower me, but next time, I would give it all I've got. I already knew the way she moved by heart, she was like a viper waiting to strike, so I had to prepare ahead. Damn it all to hell, I couldn't even spend one minute by myself without thinking about her, could I?I forced myself to think about April, maybe If I could steal a phone and call her, leave her a cryptic message that I knew only she would be able to understand, maybe I could get a chance then...Didn't April check around the company for my

*******April glanced around her vicinity, banging her car door closed before striding towards the dingy apartment occupying a vast space of uninhabited land. April knocked, listening carefully to pick up any movement inside the house. Two soft taps came from the other end."Prime rib" April stated, wincing at how ridiculous the secret code sounded. The door opened and she walked in, taking note of the space before going down the heavy-lidded staircase. She reached a door at the end, it was not the first time she had been in the apartment, so she was familiar with the room she had stepped into. April stared at the face scanner, then entered the password that she had been given. The heavy-lidded door swished open and she sauntered into Blair's secret lair. The girl's cropped hair made her look mannish, and she was dressed completely in black. April got a sideward glance of acknowledgment from her, then it was back to the computers that surrounded her..."I know you hate my choice of

GABRIELLE POV."Yes, do all it takes to make the transfer, you have a week, anything later and I'll take your head as compensation for the time wasted" I threatened and ended the call then dragged my hands through my hair as I paced the room.My phone pinged, and I glanced at the message, cursing as I read through it. Hendrix was dead- burnt to death. I raised my hand to hurl the phone at the wall but stopped myself in time. If I was this agitated, I was bound to make mistakes and that could not happen.Hendrix was not the only one who had been attacked, a couple more of my past lovers had turned up dead, all burnt, and they bore the mark of the fire-crazed freak, Burn Payne- the psychopath had a habit of taking souvenirs, so I knew it was him. I'd had him investigated after I saw him with Genovese... if grandfather was meeting him then he was nothing more than trouble, but it wasn't just because of that alone, he'd seemed familiar to me, there had been something foreboding about hi
THE MAFIA'S TOXIC OBSESSION Forty two
Genovese roared, his finger itching as he paced around the dungeon where he'd had Vincenzo tied and beaten up until he couldn't move without groaning. He raised his hand to strike the man who had dared to betray him, then thought better of it. Genovese had thought the Valquez deaths had been an accident but the call had changed that. It was absurd that Vincenzo had been a mole right under his nose, reporting back to Gabrielle about every little move he made, because of such a breach, he'd had to order for all his men to be tested, cause he didn't know whom Gabrielle had bought with her influence, it was mind-boggling for him because she was just a little girl- but with the heart of the devil. Genovese also had to step up his security because having no replacement in his old age, and his empire threatened by his granddaughter gave his rivals the guts to try to take over his organization. When did everything start to go shit? Why was this crap happening just because of a child he'd ra
