What begins as a chance encounter soon turns into a passionate and dangerous relationship. As Lena and Vincenzo grow closer, she is captivated by his dangerous allure but equally aware of the risks. The deeper she falls, the more she realizes that Vincenzo embodies the very darkness she seeks to understand—and fears.

Chapter: Bonus chapter Somewhere in an undisclosed location, an older looking man dressed in a dirty looking Italian suit sits in the darkness, the only source of light came from a dim light bulb that flickered on and off every so often, Casting odd shadows on the man.His brown hair was slicked back in a classic Italian mob boss fashion. A lit cigarette hung between his ringed finger and lips as he took a slow deliberate drag of it. Like nothing in the world really mattered right now. He was alone here.Just him and the new found information he just acquired. Pieces of papers with odd scribbling were scattered before him, and with it, pictures of multiple people. A small family of four. Two boys, a girl, and an older woman. Each of them had names written above their heads.The woman was Deborah Rosa Hart, she had a small smile on her face, soft wrinkles craved her cheeks as she smiled. She had on a long floral dress that accentuated her lean figure despite her age. And her shor

Chapter: Chapter 111CHAPTER 111Next was my mother. I couldn’t thank Vincenzo enough for what he’d done for my family. For my mother. Because of him, she’s able to be present for the most important day of my life. And boy did she embarrass me. Tales from when I was much younger, and stubborn.“Mommy…” I hide my face behind my hand when she told them about the time I tried to jump over our neighbor's fence but got caught by my underwear. Vincenzo leaned in to me.“I see you’ve always been a trouble maker.” he teased.“It was a phase. I’m much calmer now.” I huffed.“You are?” his tone was of mock shock, and I shot him a playful glare.“Above all else. I’m glad my baby’s found someone worthy of her fire,” my mother says, and the crowd cheered and laughed. At least she was right about that.There was a lot of dancing after that emotional segment of the reception with everyone sharing their own words of encouragement to us.Old and young took to the dance floor, guided by

Chapter: chapter 110110“So did you guys finally decide on a name for your kid yet?” Jasmine asked, her cheeks rosy from the alcohol. She and Luke were wearing matching red accents, it was cute.I looked back at Vincenzo who was off speaking with some rather important looking men. The only one I could recognize was Kalvin Derrida. Glad Vincenzo didn’t kill him.When he caught me staring, his raised his glass in a small congratulatory toast, and I smiled before tuning back to Jasmine and Luke.“We’re still scoring the list.” I say with a smile.“Well, don’t take too long. Before you know it, the nine months will be up and you’d be stuck with a name like Bellamy…” she joked. Luke gave her a mock offence look.“I happen to like the name, thank you very much.” he puffed his chest proudly. “More over, I think Jasmine Anita Bellamy has a nice ring to it. Don’t you think so, Len?” his hand snaked around her waist as he tugged her closer, stilling a kiss, and I witnessed with my own eyes how my best friend becam

Chapter: 109CHAPTER 109The grand cathedral stood tall, bathed in the soft golden glow of the late afternoon sun. White and red roses lined the aisle. Petals scattered like snow on the crimson carpet that stretched from the open doors to the altar.Red.What was once a symbol of power, seduction, and danger, now a symbol our love, passion and strength. It encapsulates everything we’ve been through so far. A reminder of how it all started. For the fire that brought Vincenzo and I together.Outside, there was a fleet of cars, bodyguard lining the perimeter with practiced vigilance. Dante had insisted on extra security on this special day. The king of New York's underworld was getting married today, so yeah, It was a pretty big deal.I wanted something simple of course, but you know Vincenzo, he wanted something grand. To let everyone know that he was getting married to the love of his life.His words, not mine.And thanks to Lorenzo’s hard work, the Karnak brothers had

Chapter: 108Chapter 108Everyone prayed silently in their hearts that Vincenzo came out of this alive. Even Dante De Rossi Maranzano, Vincenzo father was anxious. He and his first son never got along, part of this was because of how strict he had been when it came to training him to take over, but the other part was because Vincenzo believe he let their mother die and did nothing about it.Vincenzo resented his father for years, and their relationship only continued to plummet when he made his political agenda known. It looked like he was just trying to move on with his life and forget his dead wife, but the truth was, Dante never forgot her, how could he forget the only woman he ever loved? Monica, her smile still haunted him, and her death had done things to him, made him do things he regretted, and that entailed pushing his own children away, but this was because he didn’t want them to see how weak he had become. He saw now, that that was a mistake.He should have been a better f

Chapter: 107“Lorenzo!” she grabbed my arm, and I stopped. The look in her eyes were compelling, and I sighed. Deciding to take it slow.“How can I sleep knowning Vincenzo is here?” she said, her voice hoarse.“Here,sit.” I guided her to one of the many empty seats in the waiting area, and she sighed. “I’ve been having these…nightmares about Vincenzo. I just wanted to see him…that’s why I took Stefano's car.” she paused. I blinked slowly at her words. She stole Stefano’s car?“Please don’t be mad.” she quickly added. I bet she thought I’d get upset. Actually, it made me laugh a little.“I’m not mad.” I said with a small smile on my face. “But you shouldn’t be doing reckless things like that, you know.Especially now that your carrying my brother’s kid in you.” my tone was softer now, but stern, and she avoided my gaze a bit. “You know you could have waited till it was morning.”“I don’t think I would have made it to…” she smiled weakly. “What about you?”“What about m

Chapter: 37“Your point?” Kyler repeated slowly. He looked at Sila, like, really looked at him, and something ugly twisted in his expression. “You hear that, brother? That’s all Dad’s ever wanted. For me to be more like you.” “Nobody is asking you to be like me.” “Of course he is.” Kyler was fuming. His voice was loud, shaking the table. “Sorry, I’m not perfect like Dad’s favourite show cow.” “What did you just call me?!” Silas yelled back for the first time, and I squeaked. “I called you a fucking show cow! Sorry, I don’t get hard from quarterly reports and board meetings!” Okay, that’s enough. “Stop it!” I yelled, abruptly standing to my feet. I wedged myself between them, my small frame consumed by their tall bodies. Mama and Mona stood up too and Papa came to drag me out of the eye of the hurricane, but I didn’t budge. “You two need to stop this right now. This isn’t right!” I said, my voice pleading for them to reason wi

Chapter: 36I wasn’t even gone five minutes, but when I returned, the entire mood felt suffocating and tense. It felt like everyone was sitting on a ticking time bomb, and any sudden movement would make everything blow up in our faces. David had laid out the first course while I was away in the washroom. Seared scallop that looked like edible art. But even with this delicious-looking display, nobody seemed to pay it attention. I quietly slipped back into my seat between the twins, my earlier cockiness had suddenly evaporated. I turned to Silas, then Kyler, but neither of them even spared me a second glance, and the looks on their faces were cold, almost annoyed. Most definitely annoyed. Kyler’s jaw was tight, his fingers drumming a familiar angry beat against the table. Silas sat perfectly still beside me, but I could feel the coiled tension in his body. Any tighter and he would definitely snap. Did we get busted?! My heart skipped a beat at the thought. I finally

Chapter: 35Why were they torturing me like this? Barely thirty minutes since we got here and the Twins were already ambushing me like this. Weren’t they worried either of our parents would notice? I looked between the two of them, my hands still pinned against their dicks, stimulating them. But these bastards, if they were turned on, were doing a pretty damn good job at hiding it as they engaged in a conversation with our mothers. Fine. If they wanted to play this game with me, I gotta make it good. If these two thought they could mess with me, they were in for a…stimulating experience. David, the old butler walked into the dining room with the bottle of wine we’d come with. His movements were calm, and deliberate as he greeted the house. He was surely a vampire. I just couldn’t prove it yet. The guy barely ages, I mean it. Ever since I was a little girl, his physical appearance hasn’t changed at all, but his looks were nothing compared to his efficiency

Chapter: 34The dining hall glowed warmly under the soft chandelier light; long table already set with fine China and polished silverware. The scent of herbs, citrus, and slow-roasted meat practically had been drooling and my tummy rumbling. But since Mama was watching me like a hawk, I had to respect the lady like image she always thought me to put up whenever we attended anything formal. Even if it was just a simple family dinner with family friends, I had to be on my best behavior. Papa and Alec were already neck deep in business and politics before we even sat down. While Mama and Mona were seated side by side across from us. Alec was at the head, while Papa sat to the left of him. Silas took the empty chair to my right. And kyler took the one to my left, while I just stared at my phone, playing Royal Rush because now that we were all in the same place, I didn’t know what to say or act. It was easier when I thought they didn’t know I was sleeping with both of them, which, of course they di

Chapter: 32The iron gates of the Konstantino estate came into clear view as our car approached. “Good evening.” the security at the gate welcomed us and I peeked my head from the back seat before my dad could respond. “Hi, Franky!” I greeted the old man. Franky has been with the Konstantinos’ for so long he’s practically family at this point. “Hah. Hello little miss, trust you had fun at the concert?” the corners of his eyes forming crows' feet when he smiled. “Sure did.” “Good to see you Frank, how’s the Mrs?” Papa asked this time. “Still kicking, she is.” the old security responded fondly. “Tell her I’m still waiting on her recipe for that fisherman’s stew.” my mother added as an afterthought and he nodded. “Will do, Mrs. Andramos.” After a few more pleasantries, we pulled into the main compound. Sunday dinners at the Konstantinos’ were kind of a tradition for us. And according to Papa

Chapter: 33My heart leaped straight into my throat when I saw him jump off that banister. Who did he think he was? Batman? He landed smoothly, knees bending slightly to absorb the impact before straightening, as if what he did wasn’t reckless. “Ouch. Hah. That hurt…” he winced as he wiggled his right leg. Silas didn’t even look half as surprised or worried as I was, he just let out an irritated sigh, a contrast to my worry as I went to inspect him for any bruises. “Dude, what the hell?!” I say as I grab his arm. Kyler grinned, completely unapologetic. “Relax, Princess. Nothing's broken.” Why do I even bother with this idiot sometimes? I let go of his arm harshly and folded my arms over my chest and glared at him. “Keep that up and you’d end up with more than just a sprained ankle,” I warned him. “Is that a fact, Lisa?” he closed the remaining distance between us and leaned in just enough that the space between us was almost gone. “Do
