Damiano I entered the lobby of one of the fancier hotels in Los Angeles and went straight to the reception desk. “Mr. Bellavia, so great to see you again! Are you here for a meeting?” The receptionist greeted me with a wide smile and quickly checked her computer. “No, I’m here for pleasure.” I told her. “Oh, excellent! But I’m afraid all our master suites have been booked. If you would give me a minute, I will have something figured out for you right away.” “No need to.” I stopped her before she could make any calls. “I already have a room. It should be under the name of Althaia Celano.” “Just a second and I will find it for you.” Her red nails tapped on the keyboard as she searched the database. “Bill her stay on my card. I will only be here for a few hours. Order everything you have on the menu, plus a bottle of your best champagne, and send it up.” I slid my card towards her and checked my watch to show her I was getting impatient so she would hurry. “Certainly, sir! I can s
Althaia “Thaia, get your ass up!” Cara shouted while constantly banging on the door. I let out an annoyed groan. I couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning with my mind racing about all that had happened. And that Devil named Damiano did nothing to ease my mind. I knew he was too beautiful to be a sane person. When he said we would have a chat soon, I thought it was just to scare the shit out of me. Which worked. And then he freaking showed up out of the blue like the Devil he was. I know I have complained about how my life was getting a little too boring, and said I desperately needed some excitement in my life. Don’t get me wrong, I was grateful for everything in my life and what my mother has provided for me. Because of her, I was living a comfortable life. But my life was getting too repetitive. I never dreamt that I would land directly into the arms of a Mafia Boss! I should pack my bags, run and never look back. I really should. But I hate running. Oh, and that wink he
Althaia Mother wasn’t happy. In fact, my mother was mad. She became so enraged that she stumbled over the English words and had to switch to Greek. And that was how you knew she was mad when she had to switch languages. She wasn’t that angry about me not coming back; she was furious that Cara had ‘forgotten’ to mention that she was marrying into the Famiglia di Bellavia. It was apparently a big deal because she started yelling and cursing Cara’s father, then she cursed my father for allowing this to happen. I, on the other hand, knew nothing about Famiglia di Bellavia. So, I did some digging with a G****e search. And it turned out they were rich and powerful as fuck. Like next level shit. They owned all sorts of businesses, including hotels, nightclubs, and casinos. Mind you, that was the legal part of their businesses. The other part? Well, they controlled everything from the street-corner drug trade to the highest levels of government. Obviously, there was no concrete evidence t
Althaia “Michael, relax. You’re hurting me.” I winced when his fingers dug into my side. He finally snapped out of it and immediately let me go. I started massaging my side gently to ease the pain. This was definitely going to bruise. His eyes followed my actions, and instant regret showed on his face. “Shit, Thaia, I’m so sorry.” He ran a hand through his hair. “Are you okay?” I asked. Michael usually kept his cool, but this time I feared he would do something stupid and get hurt. It wouldn’t take a genius to figure out who would win the fight. “I’m the one who should ask if you’re okay.” He sighed and gave a small smile. “Don’t worry about me… he just pisses me off every time I see his stupid face.” He scowled. “Or is it because he drives a sexier car than you?” I teased and bumped my shoulder into his. “You’re such a gold-digger, Thaia! One minute you’re begging me to let you drive my car, and then you see his stupid car and forget all about mine.” I burst out laughing. He loo
Damiano Fucking hell. I pushed my chair back, keeping my face blank as I stalked off in the direction she went, not caring how the chatter paused. I stopped right in front of the bathroom door, when it opened a small gasp escaped her plump lips. I gritted my teeth at the sound, as my dick pressed painfully against my slacks. I walked towards her. One slow agonizing step at a time, until her ass hit the sink behind her. I let out a satisfied grunt as my eyes trailed down her curves. I rested my hands on the sink, caging her between my arms as I leaned in closer to her, hearing her breath hitch. “Do you have any idea what you have done?” I asked, my voice low and gruff. I watched her nervously gulp as she stared at me with those bright green eyes of hers. “No.” She whispered. My hands tightened around the sink. “You have no business showing up in your little, tight, dress.” When my fingers brushed against her bare pussy, I almost fucking lost it. I cocked my head to the side. “Tel
Althaia My thighs were still slick with my arousal, and I took my time cleaning myself up to gather my thoughts. I was left satisfied but also with a strange, conflicting feeling swirling around my body. Have I lost my mind? I could have stopped him. I should have stopped him from fucking me with his fingers. But I didn’t want to, and I wasn’t sure how to feel about it emotionally because my body betrayed me completely by reacting so quickly to his touch. It must be the wine! Yes. It was clearly the wine that prevented me from thinking rationally and had me spreading my legs for him like my life depended on it. I mean, for a split second, I thought it was with how he was choking me. But damn, that was the best fucking orgasm in a long time. I took in a deep breath and tried to fix myself, so it didn’t look like I just came all over a man’s fingers less than two minutes ago. A man who literally could snap my neck like it was nothing if he wanted to. Yes, I have definitely lost m
Althaia I let out a small groan, grabbing my head due to the pounding headache. I sat up and blinked a few times to adjust my eyes to the darkness in the room. It was Cara’s room. Before I could get confused about why I was here, everything rushed back to me. Blood. So much blood. And my uncle’s detached tongue on the floor. I almost gagged at the image. A beam of light filled the room as the door opened. “You’re awake.” Cara stepped in and handed me a bottle of water. “Are you okay?” She sat next to me on the bed and looked at me with worry. I shrugged. “He deserved it, Thaia. He’s lucky he’s still alive after talking like that.” She scoffed, her voice laced with disgust and not at all bothered. She was right. Her father deserved it, and more, particularly for how he has treated Cara over the years. But it was seeing the action unfold in front of me that had me black out. It was a friendly reminder of what kind of world I had stepped into and what these people were capable of.
Althaia “You promised me, Althaia!” Cara scowled. “I did no such thing!” I mirrored her expression. I was in Cara’s room, helping her pack her bags since she was going to stay with the Bellavia family to plan the wedding. Actually, she was packing while I was laying on the bed, just flipping through a random magazine I found. Since it was a good few hours between the residences, it was easier for her to stay there instead of constantly going back and forth. And now she was trying to make me go with her. “Yes, you did! Remember when we went out for brunch, and I told you I needed help planning the wedding? You told me you would be happy to help since you’re staying here for a while and have nothing to do, anyway.” She insisted. I stopped flipping through the magazine as I tried to remember when I had said that. “Are you actually trying to implant a fake memory into my mind?” I looked at her accusingly. “No.” She avoided looking at me. “Yes, you are, you sneaky little bitch!” I
