All Chapters of Dark Possession: A Mafia Romance : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I woke up feeling a lot worse than I did before sleeping. I had very little experience with hospitals from when I was still home but I was certain the world had not changed enough for hospitals to go from being a place where people got better to becoming a place they got worse. A groan slipped past my lips as I tried to stretch myself. The pain had gone from being localized to my head to taking over my whole body. My muscles ached and my limbs felt like I had run a marathon and only stopped when I passed out. The dry feeling in my mouth had returned too. Overall, I felt like I’d been hit on the head and dragged through concrete. “You’re awake, good,” Ronan commented, walking into the room. “I should’ve woken you earlier but you looked so peaceful.” “I don’t feel peaceful.” I croaked out, instantly regretting the action. My throat felt rough and charred and the sound felt like dragging a pointy finger through an open wound. Ronan poured a glass of water and emptied the contents

Bella “We’ll be spending the night here, tomorrow we’ll get on a ship heading to the Caribbean.” Ronan casually said, dropping his duffel bag on the bed and falling next to it while I watched awkwardly. I don’t know what I was expecting when he said we were going to stop at a motel to spend the night but a shared bed was not one of them. I stood next to the vanity, transferring my weight from one foot to another. I didn’t know what to do. Was I supposed to go lay next to him till sleep came or was I to wait for him to sleep before getting in bed? “Are you going to stand there all night?” Ronan asked, lifting his upper body off the bed to get a better look at me. I unconsciously wrapped my arms around myself, rubbing them against each other to create a bit of warmth. “Oh, I totally forgot.” He unzipped his bag and pulled out a T-shirt. “Here, you can sleep in this.” He said, stretching out the clothing to me. I forced my legs into motion to collect the shirt from him and

DANTE“Riddle me this,” Enzo said, watching me send the punching bag off its hinges. “A man gets a splint stuck in his thumb. Thankfully, it’s not a big one neither is it deep enough to require surgery. Yet, said man has refused to take said splint out or allow anyone to take it out for him. Instead, he cradles his injured finger and lets the weight of his pain fall on everyone around him. How could this be?”I ignored him, picking up the punching bag and attaching it back, readying myself for the next punch.I intentionally refused to spar with Enzo today, I did not trust myself to not batter his face. As resourceful as he was, he wasn’t the best fighter. A defect he seemed to take pride in. I vented out the weight of my anger on the bag, this time, sending it flying across the room and too far for me to retrieve. Rubbing my fists together, I stared murderously at the bag resting close to the exit and turned to Enzo who immediately shook his head indicating he’ll neither be pickin

BELLAI felt someone’s fingers threading softly through my hair, I should have been startled but it felt so good.I lay there, savoring the feeling of being touched softly. I couldn’t remember the last time someone touched me with the slightest bit of care or affection. I didn’t know how much I craved to be held softly until now. Every finger that had touched me was from a place of selfishness and was born of sexual desires. If I got a hug, I might just fall apart from the weight of the emotions I’m carrying.The person who probably held my hand with the slightest bit of care was Ronan. There was Vivian too but that was a long long time ago.She was the only one who would tackle me with random hugs, try to braid my hair, and even cuddle me sometimes.I always pushed her off, claiming I wasn’t a fan of physical touch but the truth was, I didn’t know what to do with affection, nor did I know how to return it.The concept of it felt too ambiguous and almost laughable to me. What do you

BELLAFuck me sideways.The big guy upstairs really did say he’ll deliver my enemies into my hands and he just did it in the best way. When my shock at the scene before me finally wore off -which happened in seconds, as I had no prior high expectations of the duo- I could feel a shit-eating grin stretching out my lips as I watched them look at me in part horror and part hatred.“Fancy seeing you here Miss Carter, or should I say, Rose.” I smiled, walking out of my hiding place and her glare intensified. “The situation at hand is quite the leveling ground, you certainly don’t expect titles after what I just witnessed,” I said, gesturing at their current state of undress. I let a fake shiver run through me as I directed my attention to Anna. ”Please put on some clothes, the sight of your bare body is giving me the heebie-jeebies. I already have a lot of nightmares plaguing me as it seems.”She was oddly quiet and compliant for a renowned talkative and bully and I got the dopamine kick
