Tesoro Chapter 22.
Matteo POV.The Irish! The fucking four Irish Kings. They answer to nobody. Over the years, we have tried to get them onboard but they are stubborn as they are savage. How did she?Family, that’s how. How did I forget about that? Erika Bristol, Andros, and Cass’s aunt married Fionn O’Rourke, and they had Daragh. Of course. It makes sense, they only answer to family and not to outsiders.Now it makes sense why they sent flowers. I’m such an idiot I didn’t connect the dots.“Cass, where is he being held?” I ask her and she looks at me. She stands and wobbles. Shit, I stand and hold her hand to steady her.“Help me to the office. I will call Daragh.” She says, and I nod my head. I should be pissed, but I’m not. If the Irish have Curtis, he is as good as dead. Unless she calls them off. I need to speak to Dimitri and Andros.“Dimitri, Andros, meet me in the office.” I call through the villa like a damn fishwife and Cass laughs. I help her into the office and she sits in the chair and I si

Cassandria POV.The day I have dreaded is here. The day we lay my zio and zia to rest. I stand in my bedroom wearing a black pantsuit, my long black hair is down and I’m wearing neutral make-up. I look at fluffy bear and fight the tears. Why did this have to happen? Why can’t I just live my life? So much death that is all for me. Well, not anymore. I will be heading to New York tonight.I need to meet up with Daragh and pay a visit to Curtis. Then I will go after Valentina and Rocco. But today is about my zio and zia.I pick up fluffy bear and walk out of the bedroom. Ivan and Igor are both waiting for me, dressed in black suits.“Donna.” They both say, bowing their heads, and I nod my head at them. I walk down the hallway and down the stairs. I’m numb. I walk past lots of people. They see me and bow in respect, but I don’t acknowledge them. If I do, I will break and I can’t do that.Andros and Lola walk towards me. I hug them both and Andros kisses my cheek. He takes my hand and sque

Matteo POV.I have been waiting all day on tender hooks for word that my men have successfully retrieved Curtis, but so far not one damn word.I need him back in my clutches before Cass leaves to meet Daragh in two day’s time. If I don’t have him, then Cass will give in and kill him. I can’t have her becoming tainted or more involved in this. I know that makes me a massive hypocrite, but I don’t want her to lose what innocence she has left.I know the light is still inside of her; I saw it today at the funeral. I saw it in the way she tried her best to not break, but she broke as soon as she was in my arms. I can’t let her destroy herself further.I walk around and speak with the other Dons. They are talking about how this happened and all I can do is offer them my assurance that the threat is being dealt with. Well, it will be once I get Curtis back.“How is your beautiful bride-to-be? How come she isn’t here?” Don Angelo Russo asks me. I see Cass, out of the corner of my eye stiffen

Cassandria POV.I stand and watch as Matteo slumps down on the sofa. I give him one last look and go in search of the Mountains and Tati. They knew what I was planning and so does Lola. Matteo thinks I’m too damaged to deal with that cunt Curtis, well he is wrong.I find the Mountains and Tati in the kitchen with our bags. When Lola comes running into the kitchen, her long blonde hair is wild and she is in her dressing down and her legs are bare.“Andros is out cold. How long will these sedatives take before they wear off?” She says, handing the needle to Tati and I walk to her and pull her into a hug.“At least eighteen hours. That will give me enough time to get to New York and take Curtis before either of them wakes up. Thank you for helping me with this, Lola. I owe you big time.” I say as I pull back and she looks at me.“No, you don’t Cass. I never agreed to this stupid plan of theirs. Besides, my kitty could use a break. So, on behalf of her, thanks.” I make a face at her and s

Cassandria POV.We arrived at the hotel and we all bathed and got ready. I sent word to Daragh, and he told me to come when I was ready and to ask for him at the bar.I’m dressed differently than I used to dress. Gone is the business and precious tesoro. In her place is a woman on a damn mission. Standing in all black. Black leather pants, a black ripped T-shirt, black knee-high boots and biker jacket. My long black hair is pulled into a high ponytail and I have neutral make-up on my face with a dark red lip.I don’t need any weapons because I know I will be safe with in the Irish quarter. I leave my hotel bedroom and walk into the penthouse suite and go in search of my team.I find them all in the living room. They are all waiting for me. Alina and Dimitri are checking their weapons, Tati is typing away on her laptop and my Mountains are looking out of the floor to ceiling windows at the New York nighttime skyline.“We ready?” I ask making my presence known. They all stop what they a

Matteo POV.I wake up, my head is pounding and my throat is dry. God, what the fuck happened? Where am I?I sit up with a groan. Everything feels heavy. I blink, looking around when I see a blonde head sitting opposite me. I blink again to clear my vison when everything starts to come into focus.“What happened? Where is Cass?” I ask when Lola looks up from her phone and smiles at me.“Oh, you’re awake. Good.” She says to me, then looks back at her phone and smiles at whatever she is watching.“Where is Cass?” I ask her, my head pounding to its own beat. Lola sighs as she stands and leaves the room. She returns moments later with water and painkillers.“Take them, Andros should be joining us soon.” She says and re takes her seat opposite me.“Lola, I’m not playing fucking games. Where is Cass?” I spit out at her, and she narrows her eyes at me.“Gone,” she says with a smile and I blink, taken aback by what she has just said.“Gone? What do you mean, gone? Where has she gone and how lo

Cassandria POV.We are on the move again and heading to the secure location Daragh has Curtis in. I am never drinking that much again. I woke up in Daragh’s house; I don’t even remember leaving the pub. Ivan, Igor, and Tati are the same. All of us are bears with very sore heads.“You look like shite.” Daragh says with a chuckle. I groan and give him the finger and he laughs.“How are you fine? I feel like I have been run over by a fucking train, then tap danced on by leprechauns.” I say as I follow behind him into what looks like an abandoned factory in Downtown New York, on the waterfront.“Did you forget little Cassie? I’m Irish. We can drink better than fish.” He says, keeping me close. I mumble under my breath that he is one lucky fucker, and he chuckles at my choice of words.At some point during the night, we moved to shots and then to spirits. I’m having flashes of memory and I cringe. I was dancing on the bar and free pouring straight into my mouth. Never again.I feel queasy

Cassandria POV.“Cass, wh … What are you doing here? How are you here? You should be …”“Dead, yeah I know. Surprise.” I say with a chuckle as I step further into his view. The steel glinting in the light. His eyes move from my face to the Katana. He visibly gulps and I smirk.“Did you not get the little video I sent you?” I ask him and his eyes widen now he remembers.“I take it by your reaction you did. So, as you can see, the little squad you sent to bring me in or to kill me are all dead. So tell me, Curtis, how are you?” I ask him and he looks at me like I’m crazy. My grip tightens on the sword.“Do you think I’m scared of you? Ha, don’t make me laugh. You will be back by my side soon enough and I will enjoy taking you before I kill you.” He laughs and I just raise an eyebrow at him. My team moves closer and so does Daragh. I hold my hand up, stopping them in their tracks.“Why would I want your pin dick anywhere near me? Then again, your dick is your favourite toy, after all.” I

Matteo POV.After the shower incident, every time Cass looks at me she is blushing and I don’t know if it is because of the cold water thing or the sight of my cock that has made her embarrassed. Either way, that blush makes her look cute.I had Tati bring clothes for her this morning so we can get to the conference. Today is about making connections, settling old grievances and up dating laws. We do this so it stops war over territories and keeps everyone happy.Cass is sitting next to me in my SUV as we both drive to the Los Angeles Convention Centre. We also have food and drinks, so it takes the edge off. The whole area and surrounding buildings and roads are secured. Private security, military, and police.If anyone wanted to take us all out, it would be at this event, even though no one would be so fucking brave to try. It is always best to be safe rather than sorry.We have an escort like always whenever I go anywhere, seriously you would think I was the president, but then agai

Cassandria POV.I wake up stretching from the most delicious dream of Matteo. I’m still half asleep as I wriggle round in my bed. I grip the pillow beside my head and pull it under my chest and sigh as I rub my face against it. I hear the shower turn on. I lift myself up and listen carefully.Is he messing? Why the fuck is Andros in my fucking shower? Oh, hell no. I thought we were done with this? clearly fucking not. Oh, he will pay.“Andros, you better not be in my shower, you fucking ogre.” I say out loud as I turn so I’m on my back. I groan and pull the quilt away. I climb out of my bed and stagger forward.“Andros, I swear to god, if you are using my stuff, I will end you.” I say with a growl as I move to the bathroom door. Wait, something is off. But what is it?My brain is still sleeping, but I know one thing, Andros, will regret the day he fucked with me in my house. I creep to the bathroom door. My hand on the handle and I turn it quietly and make a face when it doesn’t make
Tesoro Chapter 37.
Matteo POV.The drive is taking forever as I keep kissing her. She moans in to my mouth. I pull back, panting, as I look down at her and she smiles softly up at me.“Tell me it is done. Tell me you are finished with your revenge. Tell me you want this as much as I do.” I ask her, searching her blue eyes and her smile lights up her face. Her hand softly caresses my cheek and I lean in to it, turning my head to kiss her palm.“It is done. I am done with this revenge, well I will be when I kill them both. Matteo …” she looks away, not wanting to meet my eyes. She is … rejecting me? I move off of her and help her sit up. She turns to face me.“I understand. I’m sorry, tesoro.” She chuckles at me and I look at her as she shakes her head.“It’s not that. I haven’t let a man touch me since I left Curtis. I want to, god only knows I want to. I’m just … well, I’m scared. I’m scared to open that part of me. My body wants it, but my heart is cautious and rightly so. I know you think that you hav

Matteo POV.I was in the middle of my speech when the PA system was overridden. I looked up and saw the four Irish King’s standing looking down at us all, like we were their subjects. I could hear the murmurs asking why they were here? And who are they? Then I look up and my breath catches in my throat as Cass comes into view.She looks like a goddess. Standing there is a nude dress adorned with crystals and pearls. She looks every bit the queen I know she is and will be.When she made her descent down the stairs to the music, I’m stuck in a trance.“Baby, what is she doing here?” Val hisses at my side but I ignore her, too mesmerised by the vision at the other end of the hall. The Don’s move like she has commanded them to.She walks slowly, seductively, her hips swaying and she mouths the lyrics, but not to me. Her icy gaze is firmly on Valentina and Rocco. My cock stirs as I watch her, my mouth is dry and I gulp down the closer she gets to me.Everything disappears around me, and it
Tesoro Chapter 35.
Cassandria POV.I step out of the dressing room and into my bedroom. The gasps have me smiling softly at those in my bedroom. The glam squad are looking at me like I am their goddess.“Oh my god, you look … wow,” Anton says and his team parrot their approval. I raise my chin just a tad bit higher, felling like the queen I know I am.“Thank you all for the compliments. It has been a while since I dressed in anything other than ripped jeans.” I say with a chuckle.“Girl, you have got the looks, the body. If I looked like that even in my Drag, I would flaunt it every day.” Gary says and I smile at him. He told me he is a Drag Queen when he was doing my make-up. I panicked, but he has skills. He told me don’t worry, doll, I won’t make you look like me.“The offer still stands. If you ever leave my zia, then I would gladly take you all in. Oh, before I forget.” I say as I walk towards my phone and pull up my banking app. I had asked Alina for their banking details before in a text and she

Cassandria POV.The days have blurred together, as we have planned to get both Valentina and Rocco at the masquerade ball tonight.We have eyes on Curtis and we may have slipped him something in his IV. Something that will he will never recover from. He will die slowly, painfully. No trace will be found and there is no cure. I know this because I researched about this new drug that the Russians have been developing. So yeah, I entered the DeAngelis mansion with the help of Dr Cynthia Monroe and gave him the drug.I may or may not have given something to Valentina and Rocco. Something that will stop them escaping too fast, a weak sedative but given over time, increases its potency. They won’t get far.They always say poison is a woman’s weapon. But to me, any weapon should be a woman’s weapon.We go over the final plans for tonight before Alina gets a call, and she heads to the door. Yes, they are all staying here with me. They may as well I have the room and I like their company. It b

Matteo POV.I have let her down; I have let the families down. She is right; I don’t deserve the title of king. I failed to bring her the justice she deserved. No, she had to go out and get that justice for herself. She doesn’t need anyone to fight her battles. She will end up getting herself killed and there is nothing I can do about that.Unless?Unless I take her captive. But no, she would hate me more for that and could very well revert back to how she was when she was first bought to LA. I don’t want that, but at the same time she needs to be brought to heel.We drive in silence back to the compound. I’m lost in my thoughts about what to do with her. All I can do is sit back and watch as she takes her revenge. Then and only then will she be satisfied? Will she then be happy? Will she then move on? The answer to those little questions is, I don’t fucking know.All I do know is that there will be more bloodshed at her hand, and she will slip further into the darkness.We pull up ou

Cassandria POV.I step into my kitchen with my head raised and head towards the kettle to make a coffee. I ignore the heated glare on my back.“Tesoro. We need to talk.” I look at the kitchen cabinet in front of me.“No, I don’t think we do, Matteo.” I say as I go back to making my coffee before I turn with the cup in my hand as I lean against the counter and just watch him. He looks pissed and relieved at the same time.It’s an old-fashioned stare down. Who will break eye contact first? Well, it sure as shit won’t be me. Whatever he has to say, I’m not interested.“Cass, little one. What the hell? Why would you go to this extreme?” Andros asks me. I sip my coffee, still not breaking eye contact with Matteo. Yes, I’m challenging him and I won’t fucking lose.“Because you and him are pussies and wouldn’t. So I did. Don’t try to act innocent, Andros.” I say, still not looking away. I don’t think I’ve even blinked. The tension is mounting in my kitchen. Matteo stands slowly as I raise a
Tesoro Chapter 31.
Cassandria POV.Being back in LA doesn’t bring back any feelings. I’m unfeeling and it has been three days since I did what I did to Curtis. He is alive, but was beaten within an inch of his life. We are heading to drop Curtis off. It’s the least I can do.Matteo really needs to change the access codes to the main gates of the community. I punched in the code and we drove through. Driving past the house that was considered home for over a year. I didn’t stop until we were close to the gates of the compound. I spun the wheel and reversed the rest of the way. Once we were right by the gate.“Now.” I say and the back doors are opened as Igor grabs out a battered, bruised and bleeding Curtis and just drops him at the gates before he re-enters the van and we drive off.“Easy-peasy. Done. Now let’s get out of here.” I say as I keep driving forward and back out of the community.I pull up and we dump the van and walk towards the waiting armoured SUVs. I climb in the back and Igor climbs into
