Chapter: Chapter SevenVALENTINA’S POV How dare he?He thought holding my hand, shedding a few tears and whispering apologies would make me forget what I had seen?After everything he had done tonight?Just when I thought about giving him a chance to explain why he let me go to Russia on my own, he proved once again that I had made the right decision before.It had taken a doctor and two nurses to calm me down. They injected me, making me fall asleep.The moment I woke up, I found my dad right beside me. The dark circles under his eyes told me he hadn’t slept much.The minute our eyes met, he stepped forward to help me up.“Are you okay?” he asked. I remained silent, having no strength in me to speak.“Do you want water?”I nodded slowly.He reached for the glass immediately. I watched him quietly. For the first time, I wondered what my disappearance had done to him. He had all the power to find me no matter where I ran. Yet, he let me stay away for three years.Maybe he knew I needed to leave. He loved me

Chapter: chapter sixRenzo's POVI drove like a mad man to the hospital, ignoring every speed limit and traffic light along the way. All I could think about was Valentina.Please, let me not be too late.The thought of losing her crossed my mind, almost ruining my state of sanity. I barely parked before jumping out of the car and running inside. I found Don Valetti in the hallway, his face was pale and drawn.I ran to him.“Don, I came as soon as I heard,” I told him, trying to catch my breath. “How is she? Is she fine? What's the doctor's review?”He inhaled deeply. “Renzo,” he choked. “Valetina…she—”He swallowed hard.“She tried to kill herself,” he revealed.For a second, I couldn’t breathe.“What?”Don looked away.My entire body went numb. I heard the words, but my mind refused to accept them.He continued.“A maid went to call her for dinner, but she didn’t answer. I thought she was still upset with me, so I ignored it.” He rubbed his trembling hand over his face.“But something didn’t feel right

Chapter: Chapter FiveValentina's POVI lay in bed, staring at the ceiling of a house I had promised myself I would never return to.A life I thought I had escaped three years ago.But maybe no one could truly escape their destiny.And whether I liked it or not, this was mine.The sooner I accepted it, the sooner the pain would stop.I'd been back for three days now, and all I did was wake up every morning, eat a little, take my bath, lie back down on the bed, cry until I fell asleep, then repeat the same thing all over again.But I didn't even know why I was still crying. It wasn't only because of Daniel.Or at least, that was what I kept telling myself.Daniel had betrayed me, but somehow, being back here with Renzo hurt even more. It brought back everything I had spent three years trying to forget.Being in the same house with him was killing me. And the worst part was that I hadn't even seen him properly in three days.I had barely left my room. But his scent was everywhere. His voice. His footsteps. E

Chapter: Chapter FourValentina's POVThe plan was simple.I would go back to Russia for a couple of days, then return to Rome and convince Daniel that we needed to move somewhere far away. Somewhere even my father wouldn't be able to find me.I wasn't going to allow myself to get pulled back into the life I had run away from.Not again."Where the hell are we going?"Renzo's voice pulled me out of my thoughts."You haven't said a single thing. You just keep staring out the window."I didn't respond.I had already given the driver Daniel's office address, and that was all I cared about.I didn't look at Renzo because whenever I did, an unexplainable kind of pain spread through my chest.It felt like I was being paralyzed.When we got to Daniel's office, I got down quickly. I had already decided what I was going to tell him but I wasn't going to tell him everything. Not yet.I just needed him to understand that we had to leave Rome.What if they came for him?What if they hurt him just to get to me?I could

Chapter: Chapter ThreeValentina's POVIt had been 32 hours since I had seen the senator get shot, and I hadn't slept.I lay on the couch, staring at the door every few seconds. I hadn't gone to work, and I hadn't left my apartment.I had begged Daniel not to go out—not to go to work—but I couldn't tell him the real reason. I couldn't drag him into this.How was I supposed to tell him that I had witnessed a murder and that the men who killed the senator had seen my face?I couldn't.Suddenly, a knock landed on my door. My heart jumped to my throat.I didn't move.It couldn't be Daniel, he wouldn't knock because he had a key.The knock came again. Then it stopped.I waited, barely breathing.After about some more minutes, it came again.I slowly got up and went to the kitchen. I picked up a butcher knife because if I was going down, I was going down with a fight.I placed the knife behind my back and slowly tiptoed toward the door.I didn't open it immediately."I can hear you breathing, Valentina.

Chapter: Chapter TwoRenzo's POVI sat by the window, cleaning my gun when Leo walked in. It was past eleven, and the house was quiet. The only sound came from the guards outside and the light drizzle of rain.I already knew something was wrong.Leo never came looking for me this late unless Don wanted something.Leo stood by the door, staring at me for a moment without saying anything. That alone made me stop cleaning my gun..“Don’t you knock?” I finally asked.His hands rested in his pockets as he pushed himself away from the doorframe.“No one knocks in this house, Renzo. You know that.”"Hm."I kept cleaning my gun.“Don Vattelli wants to see you.”I stopped cleaning the gun. “Now?”Leo nodded. “Now.”Without another word, I coupled my gun back together.Then I got up and walked to his study, a part of the house where only a few people were allowed to go.The door was slightly open. Something Don Vattelli did on purpose. He gave you the illusion that you were welcome, but depending on who you were, t
