Chapter: Chapter 6: Unveiled StrangerIsabella barely slept that night after the gala. The yacht had docked late, Lorenzo buzzing from his deals, talking non-stop in the car home about numbers and takeovers. She nodded along, but her mind was elsewhere—on Dante's lips hovering over hers, the way his fingers had dug into her waist like he couldn't let go. That almost-kiss left her body humming, frustrated and wanting. And Giulia's words? They circled in her head, making her toss and turn. Did the secretary really suspect something, or was it just her usual nosy crap?Morning came too soon. Lorenzo was up early, already in his suit, barking orders on the phone while sipping espresso. "The lunch today—make sure everything's perfect. Dante's coming, and I want him impressed." He said the name casual, but she caught the edge in his voice, that tension he always had around his step-brother. She froze at the kitchen counter, coffee mug halfway to her lips. Dante. Here. Today."You okay?" Lorenzo asked, glancing over quick. "Look

Chapter: Chapter 5: Shadowed KissIsabella slipped back into Lorenzo's circle just as he wrapped up another handshake, his face all smug from whatever deal he'd closed. He threw his arm around her shoulders again, pulling her close like she was part of the victory. "There you are," he said, not really looking at her, more for the guys still hanging around. "We were talking about the new acquisition. Game changer." The tycoons nodded, murmuring agreement, but she could tell a couple were glancing past him, eyes flicking nervous toward the shadows where Dante stood.She forced a smile, nodding along while her mind raced. Dante. Lorenzo's step-brother. The name had clicked hard when he'd whispered it, all those family whispers flooding back. The one who handled the "other side" of things, the mafia ties everyone pretended not to see. Lorenzo always got tense mentioning him, changing the subject quick. And now? The guy who'd had her screaming in pleasure that night was him. Her body still hummed from his touch on the danc

Chapter: Chapter 4: Gala SparksChapter 4: Gala SparksThe yacht glided through the water easy enough, all those strings of lights making it look like a party floating on the lake or something. Isabella held onto her champagne glass like it was keeping her steady, taking small sips while the bubbles tickled her nose. The deck was full of people dressed up, chatting and laughing over the music that came from somewhere hidden. Waiters kept coming by with trays of fancy little foods—stuff like caviar on crackers that probably cost a fortune. Lorenzo had dragged her around to a few groups at first, his hand on her back like she was helping him sell whatever, but now he was over by the bar with those big-shot tycoons, waving his arms and laughing that loud way he did when he wanted to close a deal.She walked around a little, pretending she had somewhere to be. The black dress fit nice, curving in the spots that turned heads, but it didn't make her feel confident or anything—just like she was on show. Her thoughts kept g

Chapter: Chapter 3: Whispers of the NightIsabella spent the afternoon wandering the house like a ghost, picking at lunch she didn't want and avoiding Lorenzo's office. The invitation for the gala sat on the counter, all fancy with its gold edges—on his yacht tonight, family and business mixed like always. She finally headed upstairs to get ready, flipping through dresses in the closet. Nothing felt right. Ended up with a black one, sleek but safe, the kind that wouldn't draw eyes. As she zipped it up, her mind slipped back to that red dress from the club, how it had felt against her skin when his hands pushed it higher.That thought alone made her pause, a warm flush creeping up. The way his breath had been on her neck, hot and steady, like he was savoring her. She shook it off, but the ache lingered, low and annoying. Why couldn't she just forget? It was one stupid night. But her body remembered everything—his fingers teasing slow, building her up till she couldn't think straight.Lorenzo was downstairs when she came down,

Chapter: Chapter 2: The Hollow MansionIsabella paid the cab driver with shaky hands, watching the gates swing open like they were swallowing her whole. The Bianchi estate loomed ahead, all grand and intimidating—miles of green lawn, that stupid helipad where Lorenzo parked his toys, and the house itself, a monster of glass and stone that screamed "look how rich I am." She trudged up the driveway, her red dress feeling like a walk of shame flag. Last night's buzz was gone, replaced by a knot in her stomach that wouldn't quit. How did he find her number? And why did it make her feel excited instead of scared?She snuck in through the side door, hoping to dodge everyone. The kitchen smelled like fresh bread and coffee, Maria bustling around like always. The maid was in her fifties, sharp-eyed but kind in a quiet way. "Signora Isabella," Maria said, not looking up from chopping veggies. "You're home early. Mr. Lorenzo was asking about you."Isabella's heart skipped. "He was?" She tried to sound casual, but her voice cracked a

Chapter: Chapter 1: Awakening RegretsSunlight poked through those thick curtains, hitting the messed-up sheets with a warm light. Isabella Moretti shifted, her whole body sore in ways that screamed last night wasn't a dream. Her skin still buzzed from where he'd touched her. Those firm hands exploring every bit of her like he owned it. She blinked hard, her head throbbing from all that champagne and the mess she'd gotten into.Where was this place? It reeked of wealth: high ceilings, marble bits showing under scattered clothes, and that killer view of Milan only the super wealthy got. Not Lorenzo's cold house that felt like a trap. This spot? Too cozy, too fancy for a random hotel. Some rich guy's hideout, maybe. Her stomach dropped as bits of the night came rushing back.It began at that fancy masked club, tucked away in Milan's fashion area. The spot where big shots hid behind masks and low lights to let loose. She'd gone by herself, sick of her life closing in. Three years stuck with Lorenzo Bianchi, the billionaire C
