The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One Marco - Massacre
I stand annoyed. The place is empty, so he's either run, or he is with Lucia. My body steps into a room; this is the room from the video."Take what is needed and burn this place down." Everyone stares at me."No rushed decisions, Marco. Let's find her first." Matteo states and walks into the room, my hand stopping him."Stay out of here." Nodding, he turns and walks away. I walk through the room. This used to be her room. I walk through, slowly checking everywhere for something. My body stops as I look at the bed."I know you don't like the thought of people seeing her shit, but maybe it's best as you're looking crazier by the second." My head shakes at Dario's words. I need to search. I need to see if there is anything anywhere that could lead us to where they took her."Got a hit on the van." Turning, I look at Mac. Leaving, we climb into the cars and head to the warehouses. "Someone is ensuring that the van doesn't leave." I nod at his words."No movement." I turn to Hugh. "Alex h
The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One Lucia - Revenge
Stopping outside the house, I look towards it. Grasping the knife from the seat, I walk to the front door. Pulling the handle down, I push it open."Excuse me!" The words have me turning and walking towards him. "Lucia?" His eyes widen."I know, I look fucking amazing for a dead person, right?" His face whitens."I don't know what you mean." I watch his body move, slowly edging closer to the cabinet."It's too late to pretend you don't know now. I hope it was worth the money Gino paid you." I walk towards him, watching as his hand moves into a drawer. My body rushes, my foot slamming the drawer on his hand. He moves back as I reach in and take out the gun."Daddy." Turning, I look at the door. Shit."Princess, go upstairs." My head shakes at him."Don't even move. You try it, and you will regret your choice." Stepping towards the little girl, she tilts her head and stares at me.“I’m just showing your daddy my Halloween costume. What do you think?” She observes me for a moment and smi
The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One Marco - Finding Her
Stopping outside the house, I relax when I see the car, knowing it means she is still here. After finding Alan and Richard had died quickly, I realised I should have listened to Dario.I thought we would catch up to her with them, but they died far quicker than the others had. Stepping from the car, I begin to walk towards the house."First two bodies are cleared up." I glance at Hugh and nod. If she wants to kill everyone who hurt her, I will let her, but it should be in a place where there are no connections to her.My guys have had their work cut out, ensuring no one speaks about what they had seen or about her. Our inside guy with the police is working on ensuring reports disappear. I walk through the house, glancing into the room and stopping at a closed door. I open it and stop when I see her."Lucia." I watch as she jumps up, spinning to face me, her hands holding out the gun. Raising my hands slightly, I step into the room. She's a mess, and I need to get her away from here ri
The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One Lucia - Crumbling
He is in the way as I close the door, pushing his way in before closing the door behind him."What do you want, Marco?" I step back, still feeling uneasy and on edge. Tiredness quickly draining the immense energy I had before."You."I stop. I look up at Marco; his eyes are fixed on mine. My heart begins to thunder in my chest."I want you, Lucia." He takes a step closer, and I move back.He says that, but it's not possible. Surely even he realises that it isn't possible? "You have Roxy." His brows pull together, and he frowns at me. "You're engaged to Roxy. Business or not, you're going to be her husband.""I will fix that. I will change it, Lucia.""How? You agreed to marry her as part of a deal, Marco. You can't just walk away like it is nothing." I don't think he can, anyway. I stay watching him, his body stepping closer to mine. His hands move as he takes his jacket off, quickly followed by his tie and shirt.I don't move. I stay still as he gets closer, slowly removing his cloth
The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One Lucia - Their History
Waking, It's still early. Today, I need to get answers. I need to know everything. Getting dressed, I walk out and stop, Luca runs towards me."Luca, no!" Iz laughs and grabs him. "Sorry, we're waiting for Matteo to get back. How are you feeling?" She smiles at me, waiting."Fine, just confused and lost." She nods and hugs me. Walking over, I sit down with her."You will be fine. You just need time to readjust to this new life." She smiles and sighs. "It's hard. I grew up knowing the brothers and their sisters. I knew about the family, the Cosa Nostra, but even now, I struggle every now and then."I don't respond; I just watch as Luca plays, and she talks about Matteo and his current position in the parliament. Elmay walks over and holds out food while smiling at me."I haven't seen you in ages." I hadn't, which is weird."You were busy, Marco said you need to eat." She smiles and walks away."Luca, here." Confused by her tone, I look at Iz and watch as she pulls Luca to her side. Her
The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One Marco - Clearing The Mess
Sleep doesn't happen. I work throughout the night and ensure Arlo is available in the morning.I want Roxy gone early and all this mess cleaned up. I've spent most of my night going through the stuff on Lucia's family. There doesn't seem to have been any danger except her own family. No one knew she was a Salvadore."Ready, brother?" I glance at Dario. "You can't go back now. She fucked us over, Marco, don't go through with this agreement, that is fucking stupid.""Dario, I'm not." I accepted this was pointless when I found out what she had done. Standing, I grab my things."Roxy is in a car. They will follow behind with her. Everyone else is waiting." He turned and walked out, and I followed. Sitting in the car with my brothers, we stayed quiet.We know after dealing with Roxy, we need to speak about our mother, but that topic is going to be a battle. I know they all have their own issues with her. I know our father has no idea of these issues or the past.Sitting in the room, I watc
The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One Lucia - The Facts
After hiding away, I heard shouting, doors slamming, and Matteo arguing with Iz, insisting they leave now. So, I can only assume whatever they all spoke about has caused issues.Climbing from the bed, my feet sink into the comfort of the rug. I stay standing for a moment, waiting for everything to quiet down before inching closer to the door. Pulling it open, Hugh is sitting there, as always."He's still in his office." His words are quiet. I don't question how he knows I am going to Marco. Instead, I walk past him and hear him follow.Opening the door, I step in. Marco stays leaning back in a chair, his tie is pulled down, and he stares at the ceiling. Stepping in more, I close the door. His head lowers until he finds me standing waiting."Lucia..." He sighs, and I walk closer."You can't keep refusing to answer questions, Marco, not when it's my life or I walk." I take another step towards him."I had a feeling I wouldn't be able to control you." His words are quiet."Why would you
The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One Marco - His Actions
I stand waiting, watching as she processes what I have told her. All I can do now is hope she agrees because if she doesn't, I may just go back on my word and not let her leave. Then she will despise me for life.I clench my jaw, trying not to push down all the thoughts and feelings I have building within me. Yet it's easier to hide it all and pretend I feel nothing. Something tells me feeling nothing right now will make her decide to leave."You're the first person to tell me no, and I listened to it. You're the first person to talk back to me. In case you haven't noticed, Lucia, not even my family do that, yet you do, and I let you." She glances up at me. "Your analogy of me being a rock is a fucking amazing representation, but somehow with you everything is different.""Marco, I don't..." Covering her mouth, I shake my head."Just listen because I become a fucking rock again." I feel her smile behind my hand. "Somehow, from the moment I saw you, I lost the control I had. I would us

The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One Dario - Her Present
I'm so fucking happy. This is the best Christmas ever. She's pregnant, Alex is officially ours, and she's marrying me! Tonight! I left her for a bit. Her dad is here, so they are talking everything out. I wanted to be there but knew she needed space to do it herself. I look across the chairs and other things. She wanted to come outside, but we banned her. She can't see this, not until later. "It's looking good." Lorenzo smiles at me. "Have you considered this, Dario?" Marco looks at me. "She said yes! She said she would marry me." She said yes. "I know, but I mean the whole surprise wedding; she said yes, but that doesn't mean now." "Yes, it does!" She wouldn't say yes if she weren't ready now. She's ready. She will say yes. She will love this. "Okay, calm down, you're too high." Marco chuckles, but I can't. I feel amazing right now. "How is it going with her dad?" Matteo looks at me. "No idea. I gave her space." I'm giving her space. "Matteo, he's staying at your house toni
The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One Evaline - Answers
I walked out of the room feeling sickened. Not so much that he had slept with my mother, more he slept with me purely because I looked like her. Like in his mind, I was her. I need to check on Alex. Walking into his room he's sat up on the bed looking at the book. "Read it?" He holds out the book, and I laugh. "Move over." I climb onto the bed, and he cuddles into me as I read it to him. Today is Christmas. I didn't realise, but Lucia had the baby on Christmas day! It's nearly three. I read to him, watching as he fell asleep. Slowly, my eyes slip closed. I wake feeling someone wrap their arms around me. Glancing behind me, I see Dario. I open my mouth to talk, and he shakes his head. "No. Leave it, little rabbit. Let's just sleep for a couple of hours." He holds onto me, and I fall asleep, with him and Alex cuddling me. I need to get answers later. I wake up in bed alone. Neither Alex nor Dario are here. Climbing from the bed, I go to our room and begin to get ready. "Little ra
The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One Dario - His Request
So far, this guy hasn't been forthcoming. It's Christmas, and we're wasting time on him. Sure, we could just forget him and go to bed for as few hours as possible before getting up, but he's a risk. Alice came to get the baby, and Lucia is currently resting. So this needs sorting now. He's not someone who can be trusted alone, even with soldiers. "I never would have hurt her." I look up, confused. "Evaline, my plan was never to touch her or harm her. Weirdly, she is just like her mother. She's amazing." "How did you meet her mum?" I want to get her answers. "I had just taken down a target and was ready to leave when I saw her. I was twenty-eight, and she was thirty-nine. She was so different. She was so amazing I just went over and said hi, which is how it began. At that point, Evaline was born." "Did you see Evaline?" "No!" His head shakes. "I never did; we had been sleeping together for years. She wouldn't let me see Evaline. She spoke of her. He found out about the affair and
The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One Dario - His Words
I look at Marco. He's heard nothing. "It's Christmas. Maybe just leave it until after today?" Lorenzo looks at me. "I can't do much, Lorenzo." I can't do anything without information that we don't have. "This is your first official Christmas with Evaline, don't fuck it up." Our dad looks at me, and I know he's right. The gunshot has us all jump up and rush out. I watch as a window smashes and smoke begins to flood the hall. "Get the women and kids!" Marco screams, rushing upstairs; I grab Luciano, Lorenzo grabs Alice, and I see soldiers follow Marco up to Lucia and Evaline. Carrying Luciano down, I sit him in the safe room. Rushing up, I see someone carrying Alex. "Put it on." I see something throw a mask at me. Placing it on, I rush up and see Evaline fighting to get to Alex's room. "Alex is downstairs, little rabbit, go." I watch as she disappears. Rushing through, I get to our room and see him. Throwing myself at him, someone grabs me and stops, and I watch them grab him. "D
The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One Evaline - Attack
I wake hearing a bang, my eyes adjusting to the darkness. I reach out to Dario, but he isn't there. The sound of gunshots has my body jump up and out of bed. Rushing, I get the gown and wrap it around my body as the windows in the room smash, and smoke begins to fill the room. I rush for the door and hear something. Turning, I look behind me and see someone jump through the window. Running out the door, I get grabbed. Screaming, I go to hit him. "Evaline, go with him!" Marco? I feel them pull me, but I try to get to Alex. I need to get Alex. Screaming, I fight against him. "Alex is downstairs, little rabbit, go." I don't get a chance to respond. I'm just pulled further away. As we reach downstairs, I'm thrown into a room and the door locks. "Evaline, thank god you're okay!" Lucia rushes and hugs me. I look around, Alice, Lucia, Alex, and Luciano are in here, and I believe it's James. I'm not sure which soldier it is. "What is happening?" I look around us. This room has no windo
The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One Evaline - Getting Lost
Dario's arms stay around me as we dance. He started out fine, but in the past week, he's been slowly drowning and getting lost in his mind. I know he's constantly overthinking what is happening. Everything I try fails. Sex works while we're having sex, and then he's back in his head. It's taking so much effort to keep him here and with us. The last thing we need is for something to happen and for him to slip away in his mind and not wait for answers. So, I need to keep his mind off Mad Hatter or Tim, as they haven't been able to find anything. Marco even tried to send a message out for my dad in the hope he would reply and give us something, but it's been silent. I lean up and kiss his lips. "We haven't spoken about how many kids you want." I smile, and he looks at me so damn confused. "Babies, Dario, how many do you want?" "I just want you." My eyes roll. "You have me. We have Alex. I want to know about us making babies. How many?" He seems to be considering it. "I would be hap
The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One Dario - Silence
It's too quiet, and I don't like quiet, not in this way. Quiet in my head, fine, but this feels wrong. He's gone quiet. He's stopped sending messages out. He's ignoring us. He's planning, he's planning something, what is he planning? I pace the room. Today is Matteo's engagement party. Tomorrow is Christmas. It's too fucking quiet. Quietly, quietly, not a sound. I'm listening and listening. "Dario!" I turn, and Marco is staring at me. "You're singing." He holds out his hands. "We were waiting for you!" "I..." Something is wrong. Quietly, quietly, not a sound. I'm listening and listening. "Dario!" I glance at him. "Get out of your head, focus." I can't focus. It's too quiet. "Okay, tell me what is in your head. You keep singing quietly, quietly, so speak." "It's too quiet." It's too quiet. "Right, and I agree it is. It's unusual. He's gone quiet; he's not responding, but stay out of your head. It's been half an hour. How long have you been standing here pacing and singing in yo
The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One Evaline - Stupid Actions
I sit with Dario. His brothers and his dad are facing me. "You slept with him, just say." Marco laughs. "I did, but that isn't it. That time, I never returned; about a year into it, Dale had bought a holiday home. He sent me to it alone and told me not to leave as it wasn't safe. I stayed there for maybe six months. A few weeks after I got there, the guy showed up. He basically moved in with me." I see Carlos' mouth drop open. "He never stayed in one place!" "He stayed with me. Dale would send maybe one message a week saying I wasn't safe and to stay hidden. If I tried messaging him, it wouldn't go through. I told him I couldn't keep calling him Mad Hatter, so he said to call him Tim for now. That wasn't his name, I don't think. He confided in me, told me about his childhood and things, and I know I should have said, but I saw him as a friend." Which was stupid. "And now you don't? Why?" Marco looks at me, waiting. "Because now I realise he was trying to get information from me.
The Don's Damsel: Brothers Of Blood Book One Evaline - No Secrets
Dario pushes me to sit in a seat and faces me. He's looking at me like I'm about to blow everything up. I feel like I am. I didn't tell him everything, not because I didn't want him to know, but because I had no idea how or if he would handle this. Then, I just figured out things while he was getting Alex in bed. "Little rabbit, please." He looks at me, almost begging. "I didn't tell you everything. I stayed at a small holiday home without Dale for about six months. I have no idea where he went. Tim, or Mad Hatter as we know him, stayed with me." "You knew his fucking name!" "No! I told him I felt awkward calling him Mad Hatter, so he said to call him Tim, which could be his name for now. His name isn't Tim. It's just a name he said to call him, so I didn't have to call him Mad Hatter." "You don't know for sure, little rabbit, why the fuck did you live with him for six months!" "Dale was gone. I don't know where or why. He was just gone. Tim isn't a bad guy, or I thought. Dale h
