His Bride Of Revenge
He tilted her chin up, his touch deceptively gentle.
“You’re trembling,” he whispered, brushing his thumb over her lips, slow enough to make her shiver.
“Is it fear…” his gaze lingered on her mouth. “Or me?”
Her pulse stuttered, betraying her. He was too close, and her body didn’t seem to remember which feeling came first, terror or desire.

Chapter: Chapter 7: Dangerous Appetite**Stefano's POV**The car rolled to a stop outside the Castellano house, and I stepped out into the afternoon sun, dressed in a black suit.The guards in front of the house shifted uneasily, their eyes darting to one another, their hands tightening on their weapons. I watched one of them swallow hard, and a slow smirk curved my lips.That's what my name did to people in Milan.Armando stepped out to greet me, wearing that familiar slick grin I longed to wipe off.Soon Stefano, Soon...He offered his hand and led me into the house.Then I saw her again.Elena Castellano.Her burgundy gown clung to every curve, a sight that stole the air from my lungs. Her eyes found mine and didn’t look away, and in that moment, every plan I’d made just slipped out of reach.She wasn’t what I expected, not from a family like this, and definitely not from a world like ours.I’d seen her before, but right now, it felt like I was meeting her for the first time, all over again.Fuck!She was even more beau

Chapter: Chapter 6: The Cage He Calls Safety**Elena’s POV**The vase smashed against the wall, shattering into pieces before I even realized I'd thrown it. Water sprayed everywhere, and the tulips lay scattered on the wet floor.My father’s voice still echoed in my head.Your wedding is in two weeks.Two freaking weeks!My fingers curled around the edge of the table, itching to grab something else and hurl it across the room, but I knew it wouldn’t matter; nothing I broke would fix any of this.I stared at the mess on the floor, the tulips crushed beneath my heel, and my chest tightened.For a second, I could see my mother’s hands pressing bulbs into the earth while I watched her, waiting for that smile she always gave me when she caught me looking.Gosh, I missed those smiles so much it hurt.Nothing felt real anymore, not since the crash.My shoulders slumped, and I just let the numbness wash over me, too tired to fight it.Then, the door creaked open behind me. “Elena.”I turned, and my father stood there.“You already set t

Chapter: Chapter 5: The Master’s Move **Stefano’s POV**When I walked into the office later that night, the silence swallowed the sound of the lock clicking shut. I ripped the knot of my tie loose, and poured a shot of bourbon, watching the amber liquid hit the glass, desperate for the familiar burn to settle the empty feeling in my chest.Then I heard the click of heels behind me.Lucia Romano.She walked in, and the air instantly filled with the heavy scent of her perfume. Her red dress didn't just hug her, it was painted onto her body, riding high on her hips. I looked at her, my face showing no emotion. "You did well.”Lucia’s smile didn’t reach her eyes, and her knuckles turned white as she gripped the back of the chair. "You told me to warn you the moment Elena went out alone, I did what you asked." She clenched her jaw and held my gaze, her eyes blazing with anger. "She was supposed to die. So why is she still breathing?"The anger in her words were sharp, but underneath it, I heard the hurt, the jealousy she cou

Chapter: Chapter 4: The Price of Protection**Stefano’s POV**I heard it before I touched the doorknob — a sound that made my chest tighten and slowed my steps.A woman’s voice echoed through the door, and I could feel her anger in every word she spoke before I saw her face.Elena Castellano.I pushed the door open, and her eyes locked on mine. She paused for a second, and I noticed the bruises, purple and yellow, on her temple, cheekbone, and shoulder.My stomach twisted at the sight.The room became silent, almost too quiet, and I could hear her breathing as her anger radiated outward.Armando stood stiffly behind the desk, his jaw clenched so tight I thought he might crack a tooth.“Elena,” he said, maintaining his composure. “This is Stefano Bernardo.”Her eyes widened instantly. "Bullshit!" she spat out with a fierce look on her face.“Elena!” her father warned, his voice firm.She shook her head and took a step back. "You can't make me do this," her voice wavered, but she held back her tears.She ran out of the room, pass

Chapter: Chapter 3: A Month Gone**Elena's POV**I opened my eyes and bright light hit me hard, so intense it made my eyes water and my head throb, and for a moment I just lay there, blinking, trying to remember how to breathe.A machine kept beeping steadily and sharply next to me, filling the silence.For a moment, I believed I was still inside the car, the sound of metal screeching, glass shattering in my ears, gunshots, the car spinning, and everything turning dark — my mind kept replaying the scene, unable to forget.Panic rushed through me and I gasped for air.“Elena?”I forced my eyes open again, everything swimming in and out of focus, and I had to blink several times before the room stopped spinning.“Elena, hey…” The voice broke.I tried to turn my head toward the voice, but even that small movement sent pain shooting through my shoulder and down my side, making me grit my teeth.Elario was there, right by my bed, and just seeing him made my chest tighten. He looked terrible, hair standing up, eyes red and

Chapter: Chapter 2: Collateral**Stefano’s POV**“Shit,” I muttered as the cold air hit my face the moment I stepped outside. Winter was officially here. I took a drag from my cigarette, inhaling deeply and letting the smoke fill my lungs, but it didn’t ease the tension in my chest.Just as headlights flashed through the darkness, a car with a smashed windshield screeched to a halt in front of me.Two of my guys jumped out with their faces pale and eyes darting around as if they were searching for an escape.John hit the ground hard, landing on his knees, as he trembled so intensely I thought he might faint.“Boss… please… we messed up. We didn’t mean to, it just…” his words rushed out.I didn’t move, just let the cigarette burn down between my fingers while I took in their panic. “Spit it out! What are you actually talking about?”Enzo stepped forward, breathless and anxious. “It… It was the job with the girl. Everything was going as planned, until she…” He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing. “She pulled
