What The Don Wants Funerals
Isla~I stepped out of the vehicle, dressed in all black and instantly attracting attention from onlookers.Today was Matteo's funeral and I came back from Los Angeles just in time for it. I wasn't surprised by the number of people in attendance as Matteo had always been known and regarded the heir of the entire DeLuca's fortune.Father had introduced him to a number of his business partners in hopes that my elder brother would take over from him someday."Sure you want to do this." Katya murmured from behind me, eyeing the seemingly hostile crowd around me.I recognized most of them to be members of our extended family and even old friends. However they all looked at me now like I was some enemy, some traitor."I have to do this." I said, determination coursing through me.My father's lies and secrets got my brother killed and it was time I stood up to him. It was time I let him know that I will no longer be a subject to his manipulations.Katya looked me right in my eyes, nodding i

Isla~"You know..." Katya suddenly said, breaking the long silence."That's was really brave."I raised my eyebrow, unsure if this was a compliment or one of her usual taunting remarks."Standing up to your parents like that, it takes a different kind of strength."A smile gradually made its way to my face on hearing the sincerity in her voice. "Take it from me. One daddy's girl to another." She winked, earning an eyeroll from me."I'm not a daddy's girl" I muttered and in truth, I wasn't. I never got the chance to be one.Katya leaned close to whisper into my ear."Aye! Not anymore, little bird.""Ugh! Stop it already with that name." I groaned, shoving her playfully.Soon enough, we were pulling up into the driveway at the mansion.I quickly got out of the car, eager to go in and get rid of the dress I had on.However, I was greeted by a commotion almost immediately.Kayla.The housemaids were gathered outside her door and from the look of things, they were determined to force he

Isla~Dante had stayed back in Los Angeles for whatever reason.Although I suspected it had something to do with grieving his late sister. He had clearly ordered that we head back to Vegas and avoid waiting for him.I took in a deep breath to calm my racing heart, before opening the door to his study. Apparently, that's where he had been since he came back.And he sent for me.The smell of strong liquor greeted me almost immediately and I had the urge to scrunch up my nose.Dante had his back to me but I could still see how heavy the grief rested on his shoulders. His hair was a disheveled mess as he had undoubtedly ran his fingers through it over and over again.His posture was hunched over as he looked out of his window at the scenery down below.I took a step forward, instinctively trying to be as quiet as I could be. It felt like a bad idea to startle him in this state.He however seemed to be aware of my presence already.He, however, seemed to be aware of my presence already.

Dante~The study still reeked of scotch.The silence that followed Isla's exit lingered like smoke, curling through the corners of the room, suffocating. I stood there, staring at the glass in my hand, watching the liquid swirl slowly before I tossed it back without a second thought.It burned less than it should have. Probably because I've had way too much of it.I leaned forward, bracing myself on the edge of the desk as the weight of our argument replayed in my head. Her words echoed louder now, stripped of the fire we both threw at each other."If she goes, then I'm going with her."I clenched my jaw.Damn her.Damn that stubborn fire in her eyes. The one that always makes her stand her ground, even when she is afraid. Even when she should be running in the opposite direction.She wasn't just defending that girl. She was defying me.And yet…A part of me knew I'd been too harsh. The words had come out sharper than I intended. The pain still clawed at me from the inside, a constant

Isla~Today marked the end of the three days ultimatum given to me by Dante.And I was long ready.I knew what it meant for Dante to get rid of things he deemed a problem, and I didn't stick around to let him do it.While he was out last night, I took Kayla with me, grabbing a few of our stuff and driving into the night in one of Dante's Ferrari.Kayla seemed a little startled by our sudden movement but remained quiet as always.Together, we booked a suite at the far side of the city. We would complete our journey the following day, far away from Dante and his hatred.I didn't mind leaving everything behind for Kayla.She was my responsibility now.Afterall, it was my father who did this to her. He sold her into this life of mystery.Another one of his sins I had to pay for.I would never be able to live with myself if Dante had her sent away."We'll be safe here for the night." I said to her as her eyes wandered around our suite.I could feel her discomfort and unease, but she still

Isla~"Please...please, stop!" I screamed, my throat raw, the words barely cutting through the chaos around me.Jake's blood was everywhere. On the pavement. On their knuckles. On his clothes. He groaned and writhed under the brutal force of Dante's men, who continuously pummelled him for trying to help us escape their Boss.They dragged Kayla away from me, her terrified eyes locked on mine as she struggled against their grip. Still silent. Still voiceless. But her scream was in her eyes.And mine were wet with tears."Dante, please!" I cried out again, stumbling toward him, falling to my knees when I couldn't keep up with the weight in my chest. "I'll do anything! Just stop them!"He didn’t flinch.His black eyes stayed on Jake’s broken form, hands buried in his pockets as if this was all beneath him. As if it didn't matter.But it did.To me.I crawled forward, grabbing the hem of his coat, desperate now."Please, I'm begging you! Don't kill him!""I'll do anything you ask of me, I

Dante~She was asleep.Barely.I could tell by the way her body trembled slightly, her breathing shallow, like she didn't trust herself to relax...even in my bed.Our bed.Her back was turned to me, the sheets pulled up to her shoulder. Hiding herself. Probably trying to piece together what had just happened.But I wasn't confused.No. I was clear.Crystal fucking clear.She was mine.No matter how many times she ran, no matter who she ran to, I would always bring her back.Because Isla wasn’t just some bargaining chip. She wasn’t just a wife I married for revenge or leverage.At least, not anymore.She was a fucking addiction.And it pissed me off as much as it excited me.I never imagined that ravaging her would feel that good.My jaw clenched as I sat up, dragging a hand through my hair. Every muscle in my body ached from the way I took her. Hard, unrelenting, punishing. She didn’t fight me. Not once.But that didn't mean she wanted it.She said she'd do anything.I gave her a choi

Isla~ Tonight, I was getting engaged to my father's sworn enemy, a man with a vendetta against our family. I stared blankly at my reflection in the mirror, as I was being dolled up in preparation for his arrival. My supposed husband-to-be would be here anytime from now, and I had to look perfect for him. I took a look at the black, evening dress that ran all the way down to my feet. It clung to me like a second skin, it's expensive noose tightening around my body. The dress was stunning, to say the least but it might as well be a funeral attire. A part of me was about to die tonight. It was a gift from HIM, I was told. A sigh left my lips as my mind suddenly drifted off to Jake, my boyfriend. Just a few days ago, he had called to inform me that he would be coming back to Vegas, to me. He had been away for years and we excitedly made plans on all the things we would do, places we would visit together. I guess none of those would be happening now. By the time he gets back, I

What The Don Wants Hostage
Isla~I stood frozen at the scene before me.Bodies littered every corner and they weren't moving.The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and death. I willed myself to follow the bloody trail and Fernando was right behind me, his finger resting on a trigger.My heart pounded viciously in my chest as I feared what might have become of him.Dante.I quickened my pace in hopes of reaching him faster.And finally, I saw him.Standing tall in the midst of the bodies stacked on each other, an eerily calm look in his eyes. The dark, dangerous aura that surrounded him, giving him an appearance of an angel of death.He took them all himself and remained standing, ready for more. Dante may have successfully eliminated Harry and his men but his expression was anything but triumphant.Behind that calm demeanor was a mixture of pain and sadness. He cocked his gun again taking a step forward in preparation for one more kill.Harry.The latter was sitting up again a wall, hand on his chest
What The Don Wants Unfinished business
Isla~Everything happened so fast.Dante.He held me, pressed a gun against my head and threatened to shoot. And for a moment, I was certain he was.Until he suddenly shot at the two, large men, leaving a wide-eyed Harry for the last. The fear on the latter's face mirrored mine and I couldn't help my shiver, even as Dante's grip loosened around me.He now had his gun pointed at Harry, freezing him in place. "Lock the door... quick." Dante whispered in my ears, snapping me out of my daze.I quickly dragged my legs towards the door to do as he said.And just when I clicked the locks shut, pounding sounds were suddenly coming from outside. They were no doubt Harry's men.A lot more of them.I let out a shaky breath as I stepped away from the door, fearing it may not be able to hold much longer.Dante was now busy tying Harry to a chair and when he saw the panicked look on my face, he picked up his pistol again, aiming it at the older man's head."Get rid of your men." He hissed."Tel
