The Mafia Don's Sweet Temptation Fourteen
Talia’s POVLorenzo had masterfully gotten out of Marissa’s clutches when she attempted to bombard him with questions about what kind of relationship we had together and I’d been left to face it all. "Talia!" I suddenly heard my name in an echo and I was slowly pulled out of my reverie."Talia" I looked up to see Marissa towering over me, her concerned eyes scanning all over my face. ''Good evening, Marissa. When did you get here?" I asked in a low mutter."What do you mean when did I get here? I've been here since last night!" Marissa said, her face pulling into a frown.Shit. I’d forgotten that after we spent the whole night talking about everything and nothing in particular over a few bottles of red wine, she decided to pass the night in her designated bedroom here at the mansion instead of going home. "Oh, yeah, you're right. You’ve been here since last night, I'm sorry, I was …..lost in thoughts." I responded, pushing off the seat and going to my bed where I pulled the covers

Talia’s POV“If that’s the case, I hope you can see what I see you in as well. You can do better than Carter. I know it.”I said like I was some kind of relationship expert. For what it was worth, I’d always been like that, never one to shy away from speaking my mind and calling it as it is. Having conversations with me was never always soothing and I found myself talking and Marissa was opening up to me more, it felt surreal. “She’s a real bitch.” Marissa agreed with me. "I know you loved him and you thought your love was enough for him, for the both of you but it’s time to move on now. Don’t you think so?” I said, hoping she’d listen to me this time. "I know you’re right and I need to move on. And with that said, this is why we need to go out tonight! To free our minds from men and their problems. He doesn't deserve my tears and I need to show him that." She said with a big smile spreading on her face as she turned to look at me. "I don't think I wanna do that, I mean….. I cou

Talia’s POVWe entered the club using our VIP access card and it was already filled with people on a Thursday night, I couldn’t believe her eyes. Do people have nothing else to do with their lives other than party it away all day long?It was one of those things I could never wrap my head around. I’d never been in a club as big as this on a weekday and it was probably one of the rich people's acts that I’d never understand until I spent considerable time around them but I wasn’t sure this was going to be my lifestyle or if Lorenzo would ever permit it. Dim lights and loud music filled the atmosphere and I could feel people's lingering stares at me, Marissa and Jasmine making me feel awkward even though I didn’t know if they were good or bad. All that I knew was that their eyes were on us and it was making me feel uncomfortable. I glanced at Lorenzo but he didn’t seem fazed about the attention. He’d been getting them since he was a child. He signaled to Matteo and after whispering a

Talia’s POVThe angry look was replaced with a charming smirk and for a brief moment, I could’ve sworn that I saw Lorenzo smile but that wasn’t the most shocking part.I heard Lorenzo call John’s name. I’d never talked to him about John and I was sure as hell aware of the fact that John knew nothing about mafias let alone being on a first-name basis with someone like Lorenzo. There was something bigger at play and I had to figure it out. “Don Lorenzo, it’s a—““What are you doing out here, Talia?” Lorenzo rudely cut him short as he addressed me. I stood there staring at him, at a loss for words. I had downed three shots of vodka contrary to my earlier decision to take just one, and I was starting to feel tipsy. “Well, I…” I began before trailing off. “What did you do to her, John?” Lorenzo asked, his eyes blazing with fury as he stared at John. “I don’t know what business you have with Talia but she’s my girlfriend and you need to stay away,” John said. “You think you can addr

Talia’s POVI dragged my feet as I slowly made my way into the house. I wasn’t particularly excited to go in because I knew this drama wasn’t over yet. I could hear Lorenzo yelling but I couldn’t figure out what it was about yet. I made my way up the stairs and towards my room, before I could stop at my door, I heard a voice behind me. “Don Lorenzo has requested your presence in the conference room, Miss Talia.” I paused and slowly turned around to face the guard. “Is there a problem?” “I’m not at liberty to say anything outside what I’ve been instructed to say.” The guard replied. “I’ll need a moment to freshen up,” I said, trying to buy time. “That wouldn’t be necessary. Don Lorenzo wants to see you immediately.” The guard said, a little harsher this time around. I sighed and resigned to my fate. It was pointless to stall any longer. I would only risk Lorenzo’s ire and after what happened back at the club, I didn’t want to bring any harm to myself. I followed the guard into

Talia’s POV“If it pleases you,” I said, trying to hide the disgust in my voice. I couldn’t tell if I was angry at Lorenzo for his show of excessive force or if I was angry at John for lying to me for months about who he was. “John’s first act as the underboss had been to trade in an unrestricted area that belonged to me. And that stupid action had led to the deaths of soldiers on both sides of the mafias. John knew the consequences of this action but he went ahead with it anyway and it was left to me and I to pick up the pieces and try to atone for the deaths of our men. Naturally, I tried to convince his boss to hand him over to face the punishment but he wouldn’t do that and I eventually pieced together the truth that John had been acting on the instructions of his mafia boss. Since I couldn’t stomach such disrespect, we went to war and when I won, I chased them out of the city six months ago and they promised never to return.” It was too much information for me to take in at o

Talia’s POVEveryone paused and stared at us with wide eyes as I reluctantly pulled out of the kiss. I forced myself to look at Lorenzo and I saw an indescribable look on his face. “I didn’t mean—“Lorenzo didn’t give me the chance to explain myself as he pulled me out of the conference room and towards his bedroom which I’d never been to before.He continued to stare at me and I knew we both wanted the same thing right now. I was rather conflicted but my desires were on overdrive. I needed to have sex so badly and it was all I could think about. How I felt towards Lorenzo hadn’t changed but I couldn’t bring myself to curb how much I wanted this. “Come here,” Lorenzo commanded in a hoarse voice and I duly obliged. I pounced on him and kissed him hard and he responded with the same vigor, his hands gripping me as he held me against his chest. I could feel my skin burning, I wanted his hands all over my body and most importantly, I wanted him inside him. “Take off your clothes, T

Talia’s POVThe rays of sunlight seeped through the slightly opened curtains and fell across my face, forcing me to open my eyes.I shielded my eyes with my palm as I turned to the other side of the bed and glanced at the digital clock on the bed stand, it was 9:45 AM. I’d overslept again—if you could say that. For the past couple of hours, before we slept, Lorenzo and I had done nothing but have sex at every given moment. I couldn’t remember the last time we had a proper conversation and for the life of me, I didn’t mind. We would have the time to talk later but our wants had to be satisfied before anything else. I heard the shower running, Lorenzo was taking his bath. He’d probably just woken up as well. We were up for most of the nights taking turns on ourselves—or more like he was taking it out on me. I touched the back of my neck and winced. Lorenzo had grabbed onto it a little too tightly a few hours ago but I didn’t have it in me to complain. He loved his sex rough and whil

Lorenzo's POVI sat in my truck, contemplating on getting out. I hadn't set foot in the cemetery since the mass burial over a week ago. It had been a spectacular burial and they truly deserved it. Each of every one of them lying in their graves had fought and risked their life for the mafia and I was eternally grateful to them for their service.As the leader of the mafia, I had declared a one-day mourning and had vowed to find the perpetrators. John couldn't have done all of these by himself, he had to have an ally or allies, more powerful than the ones I knew about already.I'd spent the whole week sitting next to Marissa who was still in a coma. It hadn't been easy but we had managed to bring her home where she had the best doctors at her disposal and on my behalf, Matteo had set about taking out John's soldiers and he was brutal at it.I told myself that I would be back when I felt ready, and here I was ready to carry out on my promise. I sucked in a deep breath before opening the
The Mafia Don's Sweet Temptation Sixty-Four
Talia’s POV The words were too heavy for my mouth to spill and I could only watch in tears as Lorenzo walked out of the prison room, leaving me alone with the darkness and the other prisoners for company. The place was silent except for the occasional screaming I could hear. There was this feeling of despair and resignation that hung in the air and I was starting to feel it in my bones too. The cell I was in smelled of puke, rotten flesh, and blood. I’d always dreamt of being free to make choices and decisions that would benefit my life without any interference from anyone and that had always been my dream but it was a thing of the past now. I had doubts that I would come out of here alive. And in that moment, I heard someone break into tears and I finally accepted my fate that I was never walking out of here. This was my fate until Lorenzo decided to have mercy on me and put a bullet between my eyes and if it did come down to that, I’d gladly pick a quick death over suffering in
The Mafia Don's Sweet Temptation Sixty-Three
Lorenzo’s POV I had always been a meticulous and well-prepared man. I always took precautionary measures to make sure nothing out of the ordinary ever happened. That was the main rule of the street to stay alive, you had to always be on guard at all times. But this news had been unexpected, and when it had happened, I was filled with dread of what I had indirectly just done. I thought the worst part was behind me but I was wrong—so wrong. It didn’t help that Marissa was nearly as stubborn as I was and if she had listened to me or Matteo, there was every chance that she wouldn’t be in a coma right now but she and Matteo were like oil and water, both dominant people who would do anything to be in control.And despite Matteo’s pleading, Marissa had blatantly refused to head back to the mansion and she put herself at risk. The act of blaming a victim was something I swore never to do and here I was, breaking my promises but I was trying to stay in control of my emotions and not lose
The Mafia Don's Sweet Temptation Sixty-Two
Talia’s POV True to Lorenzo’s words, I had gone from his escort to a suspect as I was bundled into the back of a van with a handful of his guards who placed handcuffs on me. I felt the car I was in move and while I couldn’t see anything, my best guess was we were heading back to the mansion and I dreaded what was waiting for me back there. I didn’t see Marissa here with them and I didn’t know how to face her after everything that had transpired. She had been one of the few genuine friends that I ever had and I felt bad for how this whole thing had turned out. If I could go back in time to make my decision to betray Lorenzo, I know what I’d pick over and over. I didn’t know how long I was out for but a guard violently shook my arm forcing me awake. I rubbed my eyes open and realized that the car had stopped moving and that meant only one thing. “You need to come down now,” The guard spoke harshly and I quickly did as he instructed. I made my way out of the car and into the fami
The Mafia Don's Sweet Temptation Sixty-One
Talia’s POV I spotted Lorenzo from where I was hiding behind one of the couches in the large room. There were a series of screams coming from every corner but I didn’t care about any of them now, not when Lorenzo was in the room, holding a gun. I held my breath and shut my eyes as tightly as I could as I saw Lorenzo making his way over to where I was. He tapped me with the cold steel of the Glock in his hand.“Where the hell is John?” His voice was harsh and I instinctively winced. “I—I don’t know. He left me here and went somewhere with his guards.” I forced myself to speak. “Did you see which way he went?” Lorenzo asked again. “No,” I answered without skipping a beat. “If you dare lie to me, Talia…” Lorenzo warned. “I have no idea, Lorenzo. I swear on my life. He asked me to wait and he left before I could even know what was happening.” The gunshots were getting closer to the main house and I could faintly hear the sound of sirens in the distance. “Is there something you k

Talia’s POV John’s guards reacted quickly and one of them stopped the bullet with his chest, dropping dead instantly while the rest scrambled away, protecting John while returning fire on us. “John got lucky but we can’t turn our back now.” I said to Marissa and Matteo who were hiding behind a large statue. Talia had managed to be dragged away by John but I was going to get her back, I was certain of it. Retrieving it from my pocket, I shielded my eyes from the bright sun reflecting on the phone as it stopped ringing before I could click on the receiver. The notification light on my phone blinked softly notifying me of a text message received minutes earlier. We’re here and we’re proceeding with your instructions. Do we have the go ahead to continue?I nodded as I read the text before giving him the go ahead. It was from an unknown number but I didn't need to guess who sent it. It was a typical message, long enough to relay the message. My uncle was the most punctilious person
The Mafia Don's Sweet Temptation Fifty-Nine
Talia’s POV “This is another one of your pranks, isn’t it?” Lorenzo laughed. “You kidnapped Talia and you’re trying to use her as a way to get through to me, isn’t it?” “The only person who’s being played here is you, Lorenzo, and you haven’t realized it yet.” John shook his head. “Take a moment and think about everything so you can finally know the truth and learn that I’ve been three steps ahead of you the whole fucking way.”I was tired of hiding in the shadows and I knew it was time to go in. I’d managed to bargain with John and he said he’d set me free if I backed him up on this and if I failed to do so, I would be heading back to the dungeons when this was all over.The dining room fell silent as soon as I walked in through the doors. I had wanted to come in as quietly as I could but given that they were all facing the door I was walking out from, it was pointless. I could hear them arguing tersely as I made my way toward the dining room, the discussion was getting harsher an
The Mafia Don's Sweet Temptation Fifty-Eight
Lorenzo’s POV “You have this all wrong, John. I have to admit.” I began. “Of all the things you could come up with, you had to use Talia to bring me here?” “I thought you three would understand why I did what I did,” John looked at me intently before holding Matteo’s and Marissa’s gaze as well. “When you claimed Talia to be your slave, she had nothing. She was a poor escort and on the receiving end of many of your friends’ sexual desires but you chose her. Why did you do it back then?” He finished, clearly taunting me with his words.“It’s starting to seem like you never moved on after I took your girlfriend from you. Is that what this is about?”9“If I’m being honest, I thought you three would never bother to ever show up. If it wasn’t for me, she’d be working a worse job right now or worse, dead.”“You think getting her to marry you would serve as your compensation for saving her life?” I scoffed. “Haven’t you heard our words, John?”“You always come back for one of its own.” I sm
The Mafia Don's Sweet Temptation Fifty-Seven
Lorenzo’s POVI was used to being placed in tight spots. The kind that gets you killed faster than you can blink. My mind had been going over different new scenarios in my head on how this would end and none of the options assured me. During one summer many years ago spent in the middle of the forest with my uncle was when I understood the power of leverage and patience, it was there, and then I had it all figured out. My plan for coming here was a calmer and safer one, one that needed patience to execute and that was a virtue Matteo solely lacked which was why I would be our spokesperson.There are times when you have to listen to your instincts and times when you have to do what needs to be done no matter what.I made a small fortune competing at arm wrestling events when I was in high school. I often skipped classes to visit the local pub a couple of streets away, there wasn’t anything new I hadn’t read beforehand anyways. During my visits there, I had never lost any match, it didn
