Massimo's POV

◼ ─── ◼ ─── ◼ ─── ◼ ─── ◼

I resurfaced from the blackness. Everything feels weird. A steady, mechanical shriek fills my skull before I can locate where I am or why I am lying on a bed. This must be hell. My ears are blowing up. There’s ringing everywhere.

But wait. That’s my damn ceiling. I would recognize it anywhere.

Beep. Beep.

It’s the damn machine ringing in my goddamn ear. I suddenly realized where I am. The heavy velvet curtai

  • THE MAFIA'S JEWEL   Chapter 20: A Price for Trust

    Elena's POV ⬤ ─── ⬤ ─── ⬤ ⬤ ─── ⬤ ─── ⬤ And then I finally get it. She thinks I set this up to get her.Shit.This is why I wanted to stay hidden. It will take a whole hell of an explanation to get me out of this mess, considering what I have managed to make myself look like. But I have no other choice.“I didn't organize those men to hurt you, Elena, and none of this is a scheme, as you call it. You have this all wrong.”Dammit.Just thinking about those bastards, thinking about what she went through two days ago, has me getting worked up again, especially since I am yet to deal with that blonde snake who started all of this in the first place.“Elena, what did I tell you?”“That you are dying,” she replies, and I almost burst into laughter, but I know that will only make me look weird.I chuckle instead. She is so adorable to be thinking about me right now when I could very well be the cause of her pain.“Elena, can you please

  • THE MAFIA'S JEWEL   Chapter 19: Dilemma

    Elena's POV ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦The universe has to be playing a prank on me. What are the odds?“Are they into the BDSM, kinky, dominant stuff you like... Did you finally lose your V-card?”The words replay themselves in my memory all through the night. I couldn't even sleep. It is a mortifying thought.I want to tell myself it doesn't matter and this doesn't change a damn thing. But it does. This fucking changes a lot of things. It changes what I plan to do. I would also be lying if I told myself I didn't fucking sense it. The way her body opens up to a command, the way her breath hitches with every demand.And my damn fate had to bring her to me just when I am about to die. Now I can’t be reckless. Shit. I can’t taint her when I won’t be here to fix it. One would think it's a simple conclusion and that solves it, but no! I can’t think straight. I'm like a teenage boy crazed about his insanely pretty crush, daydreaming of a li

  • THE MAFIA'S JEWEL   Chapter 18: Missing Pieces

    Elena's POV ✧ ───── ✧ ⋆ ☼ ⋆ ✧ ───── ✧I take my leave from the dinner table with a courteous excuse. To my surprise, Massimo doesn’t follow me. As I step out, I notice a woman walking behind me.I turn to look at her.“I have been instructed to show you your room, ma’am,” she says.I nod and step aside to let her lead the way.Where exactly was I heading to in the first place?My mind is an overburdened space right now. And how is it that my thoughts get even more crowded the more I speak with this man?Is he really serious about what he said? Is he really dying?No!This is all his scheme. None of this is real.I have managed to attract a stalker who is a master at messing with my head. It doesn’t help that I’m sleep-deprived, and my brain isn’t functioning optimally right now. I am going to get some sleep and then wake up and face this with a clear mind.By the time the lady ushers me to my room, something suddenly dawns on me. I hav

  • THE MAFIA'S JEWEL   Chapter 17: Stretched Out before Us

    Elena's POV ═══════ ✧❂✧ ═══════How does he know about Ines?The thought rolls over as he walks me back to the chopper and hands me a phone, which I'm guessing is his phone.I immediately start dialing Ingrid’s number while they prepare to take off. It is at that moment I realize I never thought of memorizing Ines' number. I never thought I would ever be in a situation that warranted such. We were supposed to head back to Valencia in a week. I planned a month out to spend with my family, and after that I was going to get a few weeks of rest before my itinerary becomes choked up with plant related endeavours. I hope this all sorts itself out now and I’m able to return to my life as planned. Because I will pass out if I don’t. Ingrid picks up after a few rings.“Hello.”“Hi, Ingrid... it's...”“Oh my God. I was worried about you... How are you doing?”Of course she knows it is me. My best friend would know my voice anywhere.“Yeah, I am

  • THE MAFIA'S JEWEL   Chapter 16: Under His Gaze

    Elena’s POV ⬤ ● ◉ ◎ ◯ ○ ○ ◯ ◎ ◉ ● ⬤Is there a sign on my head that says obedient little girl who aims to please?Did someone give him the memo that I'm some compliant little diva and will do anything he asks, if he asks me nicely?"I am going to need you to do something for me," he said in the most velvety of baritones. "Martha is going to bring you a meal and you will eat... Then a group will come fix you up because I am taking you to dinner... Can you do that for me, baby girl?"What did he have to say it that way? Why did it make me want to do it, for him? Why did it have me nodding like a lizard? Am I that reward-starved?And then he said "Good girl," in what sounded like almost a rumble, staring down at me with dark eyes and a pleased look, that made goosebumps spread all over my body.He's like a dose of narcotics to my traumatized brain. I don't even know what I'm doing. I don't know what's happening to me.But I'm sitting he

    Massimo's POV ◼ ─── ◼ ─── ◼ ─── ◼ ─── ◼I resurfaced from the blackness. Everything feels weird. A steady, mechanical shriek fills my skull before I can locate where I am or why I am lying on a bed. This must be hell. My ears are blowing up. There’s ringing everywhere.But wait. That’s my damn ceiling. I would recognize it anywhere.Beep. Beep.It’s the damn machine ringing in my goddamn ear. I suddenly realized where I am. The heavy velvet curtains are drawn halfway, letting in a thin blade of evening sky that slices a cold grey tone across the room. The machine beside me is the source of the ringing. I reach that conclusion and the ringing becomes tolerable.And I know where I am. It’s not hell.It’s my estate, well, the part of it I barely visit except when I or some of my men are shot or severely injured. I had converted this part of my estate to prevent a repetition of what happened to my father. I had to make sure that particular v
