Dante Castelli.
I let the fork rest on the plate for a moment, feeling the tension in my shoulders slowly begin to ease.
Tony cleared his throat before continuing.
“New inmates arrived, boss. Some in white uniforms, two in orange.”
I nodded without much interest.
None of them concerned me.
The only thing that mattered was already under my control.
“Warn the new ones.” My voice was cold and detached. “If anyone dares to touch my boy, their heads will be ripped off.”
Tony nodded without hesitation.
“Understood, boss. I’ll make sure they know where they stand.”
I continued eating, finally feeling the exhaustion start to fade. The food was lukewarm, but the weight in my body began to lift.
When I finished, I crossed my arms and glanced at Tony.
“What crimes?”
“The usual–robbery, kidnapping…” He paused. “The ones in orange–murder.”
I shrugged, unimpressed.
Nothing interesting.
None of them posed any real threat to me.
My eyes scanned the cafeteria, observing the newcomers.
One of them sat at a table with Fox, probably getting the basics explained.
The kid didn’t look scared.
On the contrary.
His eyes moved through the room with calculated caution…
Until they met mine.
Bold.
I held his gaze, assessing his reaction.
He didn’t look away.
I saw the glint in his eyes,
Recognition.
Chapter 73
He found me attractive.
I laughed under my breath.
Idiot.
How many before him have tried?
How many thought they could have something with me?
They all failed.
He would be no different.
All these men are the same.
Think they stand a chance?
None of them compare to my bunny.
None of them arouse me the way Elijah does.
None of them have my heart.
None of them throw me off balance.
None of them make me lose control.
None of them are worth a second of my attention.
I looked away, already bored.
They didn’t interest me. They never have.
My desire.
My need.
My obsession.
Belong to Elijah
‘I’m heading back to the cell. Warn the newcomers.”
My bunny is waiting for me.
He’s all that matters.
Tony nodded quickly, not daring to question me.
He knew my patience ran thin when it came to Elijah.
I stood without hurry, ignoring the persistent gaze of that boy. He didn’t understand where he was yet.
But he would.
Soon, that curious spark in his eyes would fade, crushed under the weight of reality.

Inferno Bay doesn’t spare anyone.
Without another word, I left the cafeteria and returned to my wing.
With each step, my body ached to be back in the cell. To be near him. To breathe in that sweet scent lingering in the sheets, to hear the soft rhythm of his breath anchoring me in the present.
When I arrived, I gave the guard a small nod. He immediately radioed for the cell doors to open.
I didn’t need to speak.
One look was enough to command.
I walked to mine and stepped inside, dragging my fingers along the bars before locking them shut with a firm, final clank.
Locked.
Now no one could get close.
No one would dare interrupt.
My eyes landed on Elijah–the sleeping figure that belonged to me in every way.
His chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm, a peace that only I could give him.
He slept because he trusted me.
Because he knew that nothing would harm him while I was there.
I smiled.
My bunny was exhausted.
I tugged the uniform down to my waist, relieved to feel the loosened fabric.
Climbing into bed carefully, I didn’t want to hurt him,
I lay beside him, close but without touching, simply watching him in silence.
He’s so beautiful.
So perfect.
I could watch him for hours.
Every little detail fascinated me-
-hypnotized me.
My boy is a work of art.
I leaned in, brushing my lips over his forehead, then let my fingers glide softly down his cheek.
My breath mingled with his as I closed my eyes, resting my forehead against his shoulder.
My fingers drifted down his thigh, feeling the gentle warmth of his skin under my touch.
An unexpected thought crossed my mind as caressed his leg.
Maybe…
Chapter 73
Maybe it was time to consider something that had never crossed my mind before.
Retirement.
Leaving the cartel in the hands of someone trustworthy–someone who could maintain the order and respect I’d built with blood and iron.
I’d still control things from behind the scenes, of course, but I wouldn’t need to be present all the time.
I could finally devote myself entirely to my bunny.
Imagining him outside this place, away from these filthy walls and this miserable life, sparked an even fiercer desire to protect him.
I could give him the world.
Take him to the most luxurious cities, dress him in the finest clothes, and surround him with everything he never imagined he could have.
An apartment in Paris.
A secluded chalet in Switzerland.
A private villa in Italy.
We could travel without hurry, without fear, without anyone daring to interrupt us,
He wanted to see the world?
I would show him.
We’d ride a gondola through Venice, watch the northern lights in Norway, and walk hand–in–hand beneath Tokyo’s neon sky.
I’d take him to lavish dinners, where the whole world would see him shining beside me–but no one would ever touch him.
I’d show him the ocean.
Not in pictures or on screens–but beneath our feet, from the deck of a private yacht, where he could feel the salty wind on his face and the gentle sway of the waves.
And at night, under the glow of distant city lights, he would be mine alone.
It didn’t matter where we were, as long as he was with
- me.
Because Elijah is my obsession.
My greatest treasure.
My proudest possession.
My deepest need.
کے
And I’d do anything to make sure he never leaves me.
A lazy smile curled on my lips as I continued to caress his thigh.
Yes.
I could truly consider it:
And Elijah…
Chapter 73
Elijah would never have to worry about a thing again.
Because I would take care of everything.
