SOLD TO THE RUTHLESS MAFIA LORD
"The moment you think of escaping from me, consider yourself dead, Bambolina."
These cold words dropped from the lips of sin, from the man whom Serena feared the most, Dimitrio De Luca.
Serena knew that her life had come to an end when she caught her mother entangled in a wild whirl of love making with her long time boyfriend, but she never imagined a life beyond all that misery.
Sold off to the ruthless mafia lord like a commodity, she was forced to do his bid.
She either has to obey his command, or kiss her sweet little life goodbye.
Dimitrio could not tell if he had bought her because she looked like what haunted him- all shades of innocence wrapped in scarlet, or because he wanted to rile his rival up. He just knew that he wanted to keep her.
Unknown to him, beneath layers of innocence lay a heart that beats for revenge, that longed to drive a stake through his broken heart.
She was his nemesis, his sweet punishment, but if she thought a broken heart was the end of it, she had another thing coming with Dimitrio De Luca.

Chapter: Rage UnleashedCarmine's Pov She was beautiful. Even more beautiful than I remembered. Her red hair was loose around her shoulders. Her green eyes were wide with shock. She was wearing a white nightgown. She looked like an angel. But she was looking at me like I was the devil. She didn't move. She just stared at me through the glass. Her hand was on the latch. But she didn't open it. "Please," I said again. "Just a few minutes. That's all I ask." She unlocked the window and pushed it open. The night air rushed in. It was cold. But I didn't care. "What are you doing here?" Her voice was hard. Angry. But there was something else there too. Fear. "I came to see you. To explain." "Explain what? How you sold me? How you betrayed me?" "I know. I know what I did was wrong. But I've changed. I'm not the same man I was." She laughed. It was a bitter sound. "People don't change." "They do. I have. I came here to make things right." "By sneaking around the estate? By spying on me?" "I was trying t

Chapter: BeggingSerena's Pov Something was wrong. I could feel it. The way Dimitrio avoided my eyes. The way he left the room when his phone rang. The way he whispered to Matteo in the hallway. He was keeping something from me. I waited two days before I confronted him. Two days of watching him pace. Two days of him coming to bed late and leaving early. Two days of silence. "Tell me what's going on," I said. We were in his study. He was reading a report. He didn't look up. "Nothing is going on." "Don't lie to me. I know something is wrong. You've been distant. Secretive." He set down the report. "I've been busy. There's a lot to deal with." "Busy with what? What are you hiding?" He looked at me. His face was tired. There were dark circles under his eyes. He hadn't been sleeping. "Sit down," he said. I didn't sit. I stood in front of his desk. My arms were crossed. "Just tell me." He sighed. "Carmine is in Rome." The words hit me like a slap. I felt my legs go weak. I grabbed the back o

Chapter: FearDimitrio's Pov I sent men to find Lucia the moment Serena told me about her mother's warning. Matteo handled the search personally. He had connections all over Rome. Informants in every neighborhood. If Lucia was still in the city, Matteo would find her. I also sent men to look for Carmine. Serena's ex-boyfriend. The man who had sold her. The man who had betrayed her with her own mother. He was out there somewhere. And if he was looking for Serena, I needed to find him first. But I didn't tell Serena about Carmine. Not yet. She had enough to deal with. Her mother. The announcement. The constant threats from Nadia and Giovanni. She didn't need to know that her ex-boyfriend was hunting her too. I would protect her from that. For now. The days after the announcement were strange. The estate had settled into an uneasy quiet. People were still talking. Still whispering. But no one dared to challenge me openly. Serena spent her days training. She was getting better. Faster. Stronger

Chapter: Exposed TruthDimitrio's Pov Serena's face went pale. "Her mother," I repeated. I looked at Elena, who was still standing in the doorway. "Are you sure?" "She's waiting at the gate. She says her name is Lucia Marino. She's asking to see Miss Serena." I looked at Serena. She hadn't moved. She was sitting on the bed, frozen. Her hands were clenched in her lap. "You don't have to see her," I said. She didn't answer. "Serena." "I know." Her voice was quiet. "I just…I never thought she would come here." "What do you want to do?" She was quiet for a long moment. Then she looked at me. "I want to see her." "Are you sure?" "I need to know why she's here. What she wants." I nodded. "Then I'll come with you." "No. This is something I need to do alone." "Serena—" "Please, Dimitrio. This is my mother. My past. I need to face it on my own." I didn't like it. I didn't like the idea of her walking into a situation I couldn't control. But I also understood. She needed to do this. She needed to co

Chapter: The Past ReturnsSerena's Pov I was his queen. The words kept repeating in my head. I had stood in front of the entire family. I had worn the green silk gown. I had listened as Dimitrio declared me his equal. His partner. His queen-to-be. It felt like a dream. But it was real. All of it. I stood in the empty hall after the guests had gone. The room was still decorated. Flowers on the tables. Empty glasses. The remnants of the celebration. It had been beautiful. But it was over now. "You did well tonight," Matteo said. He had come up beside me quietly. "Thank you." "The council won't admit it, but you impressed them. They expected you to be weak. Timid. Instead, you stood there like you already owned the place." "I was terrified." "You hid it well." I looked at him. "What happens now? With Nadia? With Giovanni?" He was quiet for a moment. "Now things get dangerous. Giovanni won't accept this. He'll move faster. And Nadia won't stop until she's dead or you are." "That's comforting." "It's

Chapter: Public ClaimDimitrio's Pov Nadia was standing at the back of the room. Her dark hair was a mess. Her dress was wrinkled and dirty. She looked like she had crawled out of whatever hole she had been hiding in. But her eyes were bright. Burning with something I recognized. Hatred. She was staring at Serena. Not at me. At Serena. Like she was imagining all the ways she wanted to hurt her. I felt my jaw tighten. My hands clenched at my sides. "Dimitrio," Serena whispered beside me. I looked at her. She had gone pale. Her eyes were fixed on the same spot. "Stay here," I said. I started walking. The crowd parted around me. I could hear the whispers. The gasps. Everyone knew something was wrong. They could feel it in the air. Nadia didn't move. She just stood there. Watching me approach. A small smile played at the corner of her lips. I reached her. Close enough to see the dirt under her fingernails. The scratches on her arms. She had been hiding somewhere. Maybe for days. "What are you doing
