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.

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: 60Twenty minutes later I was pulling into the Konstantino driveway with two big bags of Cheezy-Os. Might as well turn this into a party.The sky, however, looked dark, as if it were almost evening, even though it was just 1:20 p.m. I suppose the forecast was accurate regarding the rain.I grabbed my bag of snacks from the passenger seat and headed towards the main entrance. But before I could reach the door, I heard the familiar rumble of Kyler’s motorcycle pulling up behind me and I turned around just in time for him to kill the engine and swing off, pulling his helmet off. His silver hair was a mess, and he had that easy grin on his lips that always made my stomach do stupid things.“What's up, brat?” he grabbed a pack of beer and some soda cans from his bike’s storage compartment. Then pulled a trampoline over his bike. “Great timing.”“Beer?” I raised an eyebrow at the beer.“These are for me.” He fell into step beside me. “These, are for you.” he showed

Chapter: 59LOUISA I was in the middle of finishing up my assignments from Professor Aquila on yesterdays class. Apparently, his wife went into labour too and he had to cancel his class. I didn’t even know he was married since he never had on a wedding ring. It’s safe to say, half the girls in class and I were pretty disappointed, but, happy for his family. When my phone buzzed on my desk, I tore my gaze away from my laptop and notes. It was a text from Ayla. ALLEY- CAT: GIRL CHECK THE NEWS ALLEY- CAT: [link] ALLEY- CAT: Isn’t this your ex????? “Which of my exes?” My brows knitted together as I muttered the question. Was she talking about Ace and that ridiculous video from yesterday? My stomach was already doing rounds before I clicked the link and honestly, shocked, felt like too small a word to define how I felt right now. Apauld? The headline loaded first: Local Man Arrested on Charges of Soliciting Minors And right below it, was Ace’s face. A mugshot, specifically. Looking exact

Chapter: 58“Can I go now?” “One last thing.” Silas handed him back his phone. “You’re going to stop these. Immediately. Delete all of it. Block all those girls. And if I ever hear that you’ve contacted another minor again, these videos and messages are going straight to the police. Do you understand” “Yes,” Ace whispered. “I didn’t fucking hear you.” Silas grabbed his hair and tugged it harshly. “Yes! Yes, I understand!” “Excellent.” Silas pushed his head back. “Should I untie him?” Kyler asked as he moved around him, but Silas said no. “Leave him.” “What?!” Ace snapped. “You’re just gonna leave me like this?” “One of your hands is free, is it not?” “B-but…” “You can figure the rest out. Come on, Kyl.” He was already heading towards the exit. “Remember what we said. Stay away. Stop messaging minors. And get the hell out of this city if you’ve still got some common sense left.” Kyler smiled before bonding after his twin with his bag slung over his shoulder. The heavy door shut with a

Chapter: 57“How did you---”“Get into your phone?” Kyler grinned. “Kyler majored in Cyber Security,” Silas responded, a twinge of pride in his tone when he spoke about his brother. “Maybe use a password that isn’t your mother’s birthday?”“You can’t---that’s illegal--”“So is soliciting minors,” Silas cut in sharply. “You’re not just a shitty person, but a predator which is far worse.”Ace’s mouth opened and closed like a fish. No words came out. What could he possibly say to defend himself? His enemies suddenly had their hands on his darkest secret. It was only one time. He was going to stop. But…there was something about talking to younger girls. They were so easy to lie to… His teeth clenched so hard and his fist folded too tightly, his nails cut his skin.“Here’s what’s going to happen,” Silas continued, pulling out a piece of paper from his jacket. “You’re going to read this script. You’re going to apologize to the Konstantino Group for any damage your ugly actions may have caused. You

Chapter: 56“Did you have to hit him so hard?”Silas asked while Kyler rounded him, the metal bat balanced on his shoulder while his hands hung from it.“What? He was going to get away,” he responded nonchalantly.“I had him.” “Sure you did, bro.” Kyler crouched down, getting eye level with Ace who was still sprawled on the asphalt, withering in pain that exploded from his back and knees. “Hey, Ace. Remember me?”Ace’s eyes were filled with terror, darting between Silas and Kyler. In the dark, he couldn’t tell who was who. Silas wasn’t wearing his glasses anymore and they just looked like the same devil come to torment him.“What--what do you want from me?”“Just want to make sure we’re all on the same page,” Kyler said, tapping the end of the metal bat against Ace;s forehead as if to make a point. “You caused quite some trouble for my brother, Ace.”“I didn’t mean--”’“Trouble for my brother, means trouble for me.” Kyler’s tone dropped as he cut him off. “You caused trouble for Louisa.

Chapter: 55“Heh, Damn, that Konstantino guy really gave it to you, Ace.”“Shut the fuck up, Doug.” Ace hissed at his co-worker. His jaw was still evidently bruised as he took out his things from the locker.“Look, look, this is the best…ow!” Doug laughed louder as he replayed the video at just the exact moment Ace got knocked down. “That must have hurt.”Within the past five or six hours, the video was all over the internet with remixes and memes. There were numerous comments bashing Silas, but what about the others? They were making fun of him. “I said turn the damn video off!” he roared. “Alright, alright, chill man.” Doug pocketed his phone, though he still looked quite amused at the expense of his friend. “But you gotta admit, that’s gonna be hard to live down. Nepo kid made you his bitch in like two seconds flat.”“Are you trynna pick a fight with me?” Ace snapped, grabbing Dough by the shirt collar with his fist drawn back.Doug was a big guy with dir
