Anabelle's POV

The smell of gasoline, cheap air freshener, and something faintly burnt filled the cramped car repair store, and I hated every second of it.

I tapped my manicured nails sharply against the counter, each click echoing louder than necessary, my irritation building with every passing second.

“This is exactly why I don’t delegate important things to incompetent people” I said slowly, dangerously,

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Caught in the Headlights

    Fernando's POVI had stared down countless guns in my life. Some had belonged to enemies, some had belonged to former allies and a few had even belonged to family.But there was something uniquely irritating about having Theo point a gun at me while sitting in Michael's bed.It felt disrespectful somehow.My eyes remained locked on the weapon in his hand but Theo didn't look away and neither did I. It seems this man has grown balls big enough if he thought he stood a chance of shooting me, right in the house of my husband. The room had become deathly quiet. The kind of silence that comes before something terrible happens, or something stupid.With Theo, it was usually both."You should lower that," I said calmly.Theo laughed without humor."Why?""Because if you shoot me, Michael will be furious" I said, a smirk slowly playing on my lips."I'll survive" he said but I didn't believe him for one second.I smirked wider."No, you won't."His jaw tightened but the gun remained pointed

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   The Last People I Wanted Upstairs

    Michael's POVThe moment I heard the car pull into the driveway, every muscle in my body tensed and my grip tightened around the kitchen knife.The house suddenly felt too quiet then Marlo's warning from earlier replayed in my head.I hated how much space he was taking up in my thoughts.I slowly moved toward the front door, the knife remained firmly in my hand.My heartbeat echoed loudly in my ears.Upstairs, Fernando had taken Theo to my room, or rather, Theo had stubbornly insisted on my room.I could still hear faint voices from the second floor. They were probably arguing again.Those two could start a fight inside an empty room.The sound of a car door closing snapped my attention back outside then another followed by several footsteps.My pulse immediately accelerated.I positioned myself beside the front entrance, out of sight, waiting.The handle moved slowly and the door began opening.I raised the knife instinctively, preparing myself.The door swung open and I nearly gave

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Familiar Click

    Fernando's POVThe only reason I had volunteered to help Theo upstairs was because I wanted him out of the kitchen, out of Michael's sight, and, if fate was feeling particularly generous, asleep for the next twelve hours.That would leave me alone with Michael.It was a very pleasant thought. One that had been occupying my mind far more than it probably should.Especially after what had almost happened between us earlier.The memory of Michael's lips alone was enough to make me smile.The way he had kissed me back, not out of obligation, but because he wanted to, was a single fact enough to keep me happy for weeks.Unfortunately, Theo existed and he had a remarkable talent for ruining my good moods.I guided him slowly up the staircase. The man was still injured despite pretending otherwise."You know, if you stopped acting like a stubborn mule, this would be easier" I said casually.Theo shot me a glare."I'm walking perfectly fine.""You nearly tripped on the stairs on I dropped you

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   An Uneasy Afternoon

    Michael's POVI sat at the dining table while Theo, Fernando, and Roberto continued discussing security measures.The atmosphere was serious now. Everyone understood the situation had become dangerous."We need to find him first," Theo said.Roberto nodded immediately."We'll get started" he said.Fernando leaned back in his chair."My men are already looking" he added.Theo rolled his eyes while I groaned. The two of them couldn't help themselves, even when discussing something serious.Eventually Roberto cleared his throat, returning everyone's attention to the topic."Marlo won't stay in one place."I nodded."Agreed.""He knows people are looking for him."Fernando's expression hardened."Then we'll look harder" he said.The cold certainty in his voice made me glance toward him. For a brief moment, I was reminded exactly who Fernando was.Not the flirt, or the charming man constantly trying to win me back, but the dangerous man who had built an empire through fear and power.Even

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   A Promise I Refuse to Break

    Fernando's POVI stared at Theo and all i could think about was regret. I wished i had finished him off with a bullet in the head when my men attacked his car.He had the guts to interrupt a conversation that should have been between Michael and me, and worst of all, Michael had actually listened to him.I sat quietly at the kitchen table while everyone gathered their thoughts. The atmosphere felt heavy and nobody seemed eager to continue the argument, especially Michael.I knew that look on his face. The slight tension in his jaw, the exhaustion in his eyes, the way he kept rubbing the bridge of his nose meant he was tired.The last few days had been one disaster after another and now another threat hanging over all our heads.I watched Michael carefully. For a brief moment, I considered pushing the conversation further, trying again to convince him, to make him understand that New York was the safest option.But I stopped myself.Michael looked one sentence away from throwing all o

  • Dark Possession: Bound To The Mafia Don   Old Wounds

    Michael's POVThe moment I saw Theo and Roberto standing at the entrance to the kitchen, my heart nearly stopped.Not because they had startled me, but because of the timing.A few seconds earlier and they would have seen Fernando's hands on me, my hands on Fernando and the kiss.I silently cursed myself.Fernando, meanwhile, looked far too calm. That alone irritated me.I immediately took a step away from him then another, creating distance, trying to look normal.Unfortunately, I had spent years working alongside trained investigators, and one thing I had learned was that people always looked suspicious when they were trying not to look suspicious.Theo's eyes moved between Fernando and me, far too carefully and my stomach tightened.Please don't ask.Please don't ask."What are you two doing?"Of course he asked.His voice sounded casual and I immediately knew he was suspicious.Fernando opened his mouth but I instantly cut him off."Nothing" I replied.Fernando glanced at me."You

    Fernando’s POVI shut the study door harder than necessary. The sound echoed off the walls, sharp and final, but it didn’t do a damn thing to quiet the noise in my head caused by Michael.I dragged a hand through my hair and crossed the room, stopping in front of the liquor cabinet like it had pers
