Damian's povWednesday 23rd June 2021*********************************The loud gunshot makes my ears ring. I open my eyes and see Vincent's dad fall to the floor with blood pouring out of his neck. I turn to the side and see Giovanni propped against the wall with a gun in his hand. He's so pale and covered in sweat as his chest heaves but he still killed him. He's saved us while all on the brink of death. I look to Vincent and see him smiling at his dad as he chokes on his own blood. His body falls still as the tension in the room grows. None of the security guards seem to know what to do and I see the realisation cross Vinny's face. "Uncuff us all now! Your Cappo is dead which means I inherit that power!" Vinny orders. The guards do as he says and Enzo runs to his brother, catching him before he falls to the floor. Vincent unties me quickly and grabs my face in his hands to inspect me. "Are you okay mi amore? I am so sorry I got you mixed up in this," he says and I stop him with
Vincent's pov Thursday 24th June 2021********************************"Giovanni is awake," Emilio tells me over the phone. "I'll be there soon, is he okay?" I say as I get out of Damian's bed. "He's talking but he's still weak and in pain," he tells me and I sigh in relief. At least he's not brain damaged, losing a lot of blood can do that sometimes. "Me and Damian will be half an hour," I say and hang up. "Giovanni is awake and okay," I tell Damian. "That's great. Remember you have to call Alessandra," he says and I nod. "I'll call her at the hospital," I say and walk to the bathroom, my hand on my lower back as a throbbing pain covers my ass. Damian fucked me very hard last night which I loved at the time but I'm regretting it now. Maybe we shouldn't have done the other three rounds. "Let me help," he says and holds my arm as I limp into the shower stall. We shower together, his hands rubbing shower gel on my body to clean off the mess from last nights "fuck fest" as he call
Vincent's povSaturday 26th June 2021********************************I don't know what is wrong with Lorenzo. He's been avoiding me whenever he can it's it's starting to get annoying. We're all stuck in the mansion together while me and Leonardo make a plan to take down Andrea Bianchi which means Lorenzo bumps into me a lot. His parents are here too, but Matteo's parents decided to go back to Italy for a while so it's not crowded. Enzo and Gio's papà, Stefano, is a piece of work. He's incredibly homophobic and keeps making snide comments about Damian in Italian that I've had to tell him off for. He doesn't respect me as his Cappo but I'm working on it. His wife, Martina, is lovely and tells Stefano to stop but he's a classic arrogant Italian man. Martina loves Damian and gets him to help her cook which only pisses off Stefano more. Recently I've had a lot of work to do. I've got to regain control over the whole mafia which is going okay but a few people have tried to steal from me
Vincent's pov Saturday 3rd July 2021********************************Lorenzo has been gone for a week now. None of us can contact him. I called Alessandra but she said her papà doesn't have Enzo so we have no idea where he could be. Gio is freaking out the most, he gave us a list of places Enzo likes to go but he wasn't there. Gio hates that he can't go look himself because of his leg but Martina has calmed him down enough. I try so hard to think that Lorenzo can take care of himself but images of him dead keep popping up in my head. Damian has helped me a lot, but it hurts so much to think I'm the reason he left. Today was a very busy day of looking for him so now most of us are sat in the living room trying to relax before we go to bed. Stefano and Martina went upstairs a while ago so that just leaves me and Damian, Matteo, Luca, Giovanni, and Emilio. I'm sat between Damian's legs as he hugs me to his chest with my back against him while we talk to everyone else. "So is anyone
Vincent's pov Monday 5th July 2021*****************************Today we are taking down Andrea Bianchi. Alessandra knows we are coming so she's ready to help us as soon as we get there. The plan is engraved in all our minds and Leonardo is ready to go. I've got my cousins on my team and then Emilio is leading a team with Stefano and Martina and a few footmen who I can trust to do a good job. Stefano has been ignoring all of us apart from Martina and Giovanni but he still agreed to help. He's been struggling to accept Enzo but thankfully there have been no fights. Enzo went to see his boyfriend again yesterday but that means he's got new injuries which I'm worried will get in the way today. "Are you sure you can do this?" I ask when Enzo winces as he sits next to me in the back of the van. "I am fine. It does not hurt much," he says and I sigh. "You should have stayed at home with Giovanni.""He's fine Vinny! If you can take it up the ass so can he," Luca teases. "First off, do
Damian's pov Wednesday 7th July 2021********************************I've moved back into my house now the threat is over with. Vinny was a little sad about it but he agreed when I said he needs to focus on his job but he's always welcome to my house when we want privacy. The main reason is I'm considering taking Vinny as my submissive and I want to be able to use my playroom in my house. That's actually why I'm going to see Marcus now. Also Cole also wanted to see me after a while of being too busy with Vinny and the mafia but it's mainly to talk about bringing Vinny into bdsm. "Damian!" Cole cheers when I go into Marcus' office. Cole is already in his leather shorts and jumps at me to hug me. I have to catch him as he wraps his legs around me like a koala. Thank god he's not very heavy. "Did you miss me?" I ask and Cole nods as he hugs me, his arms around my neck. I slowly let him down and give Marcus and Nathan a quick hug each. "So what did you want to talk about?" Marcus as
Vincent's pov Sunday 11th July 2021*****************************I was shocked this morning to hear that Enzo is moving out to live with his boyfriend. If I'm being honest I didn't expect them to last very long with all the abuse between them but they insisted on moving in. Now that I'm training to be Damian's sub I see how their relationship is not healthy and borderline abusive. Damian said when I've been trained I can ask Enzo about bdsm so he can be safe with his boyfriend while getting to be rough but for now I'm just going to leave them to it. Right now I've got my own things to be focusing on because Damian is watching me closely to see if I fuck up during training. He told me more about the Dom/sub relationship and I said I was very much into it. He took me to see Marcus yesterday who showed me around his club and in Damian's playroom. He's already showed me all of the equipment and got me to learn the English names so now I'm practicing kneeling positions. These are more
Damian's povSunday 18th July 2021****************************Today is Vincent's test. He's been trying so hard to remember all the of positions but he's so scared he'll fuck it up and not be allowed into the club. I stayed at his place last night and I helped him practice for almost an hour until I had to make him stop. He needs to relax beforehand, not stress himself out too much. "What if I fail? Can I try again?" He asks as we drive to the club. "Yes you can try again, but you won't fail. I've seen you practicing and you'll be fine," I assure him but he still looks stressed out. "If I pass can we do a kinky scene?" He asks."Maybe, I'll ask Marcus if we can use my playroom at the club," I answer and he nods. I frown when he starts biting his thumb nail. "Vinny, stop biting your nails. You'll be fine." "I'm scared! Who is even the other Dom who will be there?""He's called David and he's very nice. He has to be there for an unbiased opinion on how you do," I tell him and he n
George's Pov *********************Am I dead? I should be dead. I shot myself in the head. Why can I feel sand? I open my eyes and wince when it's really bright around me. I blink a few times then slowly sit up. I use my hands to lift myself up and feel sand again. I look around and frown when I realise I'm on a beach. Is this... heaven? I should be in hell if I'm being honest. I look around more as I stand up and stop when I see a house on the beach. It looks exactly like the one me and Lorenzo were looking at before he... you know. The front door opens and a dog bounds out and runs into the ocean. A black Labrador, Enzo's favourite dog. My heart almost stops when I see him walk out of the door after the dog. He has a huge smile on his face and is only wearing summer shorts. He turns and looks at me with a shocked face. He's quite far away from me, but we both start running to get to each other. "George?" Enzo shouts as he gets closer. I start laughing as we both collide an
Vincent's pov Tuesday 30th June 2026*****************************Four years ago today, Lorenzo passed away. His parents moved to Italy for good but Giovanni stayed and helped me take back the business. Turns out Gio is stronger than us all and makes an amazing second in command. Enzo is missed everyday, but life has to go on. A lot has changed. George's funeral happened a couple of days after Enzo's. He was buried right next to Enzo with a matching headstone. It was a very difficult day, I felt so fucking guilty about it all. I go to see Orion every month to help me deal with it because Damian wanted me too. I'm getting somewhere with it, but it'll always be at the back of my mind. Damian is an amazing help, whenever I feel like shit he's always there to cuddle me and make me feel better.I decided to stay as Cappo. I couldn't abandon my family like that. I took full control and now we rarely have any issues because I built up my reputation. Domino also lives with us now. Last ye
Vincent's pov Monday 4th July 2022******************************It's Enzo's funeral today. Everyone is a mess. Giovanni refused to leave his room all weekend, we had to bring him something to eat and drink but he wouldn't touch them. Thankfully Martina and Stefano flew back from Italy yesterday and got Gio to eat something. Having his parents here has really helped Gio deal with his grief. Stefano apologised to me because he couldn't apologise to Enzo for being so homophobic. We've forgiven him because Enzo would have, he loved his papà. Even Emilio cried, and I've never seen him do that before. Him and Martina sorted the funeral for today because George was too much of a wreck to be helpful. He's been staying at the mansion because I didn't want him to be alone, although these past three days I've been angry at him. Damian helped me realise I'm not angry at him, I'm angry at the people who killed Enzo so this morning before the funeral I'm going to have to apologise.I look at m
Vincent's pov Thursday 30th June 2022**********************************"Your knee is digging into my thigh," Damian groans as he wakes up. I move my leg from where I had it across his body and roll over onto my back. "You didn't have to stop cuddling me.""I have to get up now anyways," I say and kiss his cheek before I slip out of bed and watch as Damian sits up with a yawn. I go into the bathroom and start the shower as I get my toothbrush. Damian joins me as I'm brushing my teeth and stands in front of the toilet to pee which makes me raise an eyebrow at him."I am trying to brush my teeth and you are peeing?" I ask as toothpaste drips a little. He rolls my eyes and finishes peeing then wraps his arms around my waist and hugs me from behind as I spit into the sink and wash my face. "You're too cute. You're like a housewife," he says and I turn around quickly. "Cosa?" I demand. "Wait no. I didn't mean that. I just mean now we're married you care about me peeing next to you whe
Damian's pov Tuesday 14th June 2022*******************************I'm getting married today. It's actually happening. Fuck I'm nervous. I'm stood at the alter now with Marcus by my side as we wait for Vinny to be walked down the isle. I was worried when he first said he wanted to get married in Italy because there's a lot of other mafia families who aren't happy about him being gay but it's alright. They all left us alone when Vinny sent out threats. The venue is gorgeous, it's right by the coast outside a hotel that specialises in weddings. There's an outside courtyard that has a view of the ocean where all the seats are set up. When the ceremony is over the staff will set the same area up for the meal, and for the log cutting. Vinny was very serious when he said he wanted us to do an Italian tradition where the couple cuts a log in half with a double sided saw. I thought it was strange but I'd do anything to make him happy. "Are you okay?" Marcus asks from beside me. "I'm ne
Vincent's povSunday 12th June 2022********************************I'm getting married in two days! My ma decided she's not coming. We went to go see her in Italy and she apologised for Antonio's behaviour but said she wants nothing to do with me. I took it pretty hard but I still went to Antonio's grave. Me and Damian were there for an hour as I ranted and cried about everything he did to me. It felt good though, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest. And I got a weekend in Italy with my fiancé where we had lots of sex and I showed him around where I grew up. We're going to go back there for our honeymoon.I think I've solved Enzo's issue. He came to me complaining about George's colleagues who were out to get Enzo for "corrupting" George. I went to the main cop who was causing issues and gave him a broken finger and a warning to leave my family alone. Enzo said he's had no more issues with him so hopefully it worked. Yesterday was my official bachelor party with my f
Vincent's povTuesday 4th January 2022*********************************I'm going to visit Domino today with Damian. It's the first time they're meeting and I really want it to go well. We're going to tell him about our engagement then my lawyer Frankie will help Domino appeal his case. When we were inside together he always said he wanted to appeal the case because it could be seen in self defence but he didn't have the money or a good enough lawyer. "Why didn't you mention he's a murderer?" Damian whisper yells as we walk into the prison. "It was not important," I shrug and he sighs dramatically. "Yes it is important," he argues back."He did it on someone who deserved it, just like me. So you should be fine with him," I say as I cross my arms across my chest. "Fine, I'm okay with him. Let's go," he says and we go through the metal detectors which go off for me. I stand with my arms spread as a guard pats me down for anything dangerous. I didn't bring anything this time so he d
Vincent's pov Wednesday 29th December 2021**************************************I'm so happy to be home but I haven't been able to enjoy it yet because I'm so busy. I was even working on Christmas which Damian was really angry at me for, we didn't speak all day because he was punishing me. He went to Marcus' place for the day as I sulked and worked. It's been difficult getting everything back on track after I was gone for two months and Damian just doesn't understand that. We haven't had sex since I got back either. It's not because of the rape, that doesn't bother me very much although I did have a nightmare about it. Damian doesn't know about that though, I told him it was just a dream and he let it go. We haven't had sex because I come to bed late and he's already asleep when I get in. Our relationship has been strained since I broke down crying on his lap and I know it's my fault. Emilio sat me down the other day and told me I have to step up so I went to the doctors and got
Damian's pov Thursday 23rd December 2021*************************************It's Vincent's trial today. They said he had to plead not guilty and he'd get out today but I'm still worried they will take him back for longer. It's in the late afternoon so I've been stressed all day. It's been so strange to sleep in our bed alone. I keep waking up and feeling around in the bed for him then getting upset when I realise he isn't here. We've all missed him in the mansion, it doesn't feel the same without him bossing people around or joking with Luca. I don't know how he will be when he gets home. After being raped by a guard I've noticed he seems more closed off when I go to visit. He wouldn't tell me much about what was going on inside and he seemed to be putting on fake smiles. Right now I'm putting a suit on so I can look nice for the trail. I put a tie on and look at myself in the mirror for a moment, taking a deep breath to get ready to see my boyfriend properly. Marcus, Nathan, a
