Chapter: BONUS — AFTER STORY 11GABRIELLE’S POVDamon was already gone before I woke up the next morning.The space beside me had already gone cold.I instinctively reached for the note he left on the bedside table and read through it, a smile forming on my face. After that, I freshened up and immediately started working on my laptop. I had to come up with a series of new designs for my upcoming project.And I had awards to win.I was searching for my second phone when the card containing the reporter’s contact details fell out of my bag.I picked it up, glancing at the email address and phone number for a second before dropping it back like it burned.It was still morning, and I already needed a break.I went downstairs for tea and found Rhys already in the kitchen, a cup in his hand.“Good morning,” I greeted, a small smile on my face.“Good morning,” he responded. “My brother left a while ago.”I reached for a mug and a tea bag. “Did he tell you where he was going?”Rhys did not respond immediately.That alone w

Chapter: BONUS — AFTER STORY 10 GABRIELLE’S POV I shattered from a single thrust. My pulse roared in my ears as he swallowed every sound I made, savoring the way his cock stretched me out. I desperately wanted to see him—to hold him, to dig my nails into his skin—but I couldn’t. And that deprivation made everything hit harder. He broke the kiss and squeezed my ass harder. “Yes, come for me.” And fuck, I did. But he didn’t slow down. Even after I came, he kept pushing into me, every thrust harder than the last until the cross rattled under the force. My body tipped into overstimulation almost instantly. “I can’t… stop…” “You know what to say if you want me to stop,” he returned, his pace steadily rising. I did, but I didn’t say it. I couldn’t—even if I wanted to. I let him drive into me, taking everything he gave me and feeling his cock drag against my wall in a rhythm that had me ready for more. I felt his hand behind my head and the next second, the blindfold fell off. It took me a few blinks to adj

Chapter: BONUS — AFTER STORY 9 DAMON’S POV Gabrielle screamed. The whip was lightweight, so I knew it would sting just enough to make her lose her mind—not enough to leave a mark. “Oh my god,” she cried, spasms running through her legs. I caught her chin and forced her to look at me. “Do you want to say the safe word?” Her eyes were glassy when she raised them. “More… please.” The way she begged—her voice soft, her eyes shining with need—made my cock jerk in my pants. She looked so fucking perfect like this—naked, nipples clamped, her body spread open for me. “Damon, please,” she begged, straining against the restraints. “I…” “No, cara,” I cut in, pressing a finger to her lips. “Not yet. Close your eyes.” She obeyed. I pulled the blindfold from my pocket and tied it behind her head. “Damon—” “You told me to take it out on you,” I said, securing it in place. “You said you wanted this.” She nodded desperately. “Yes.” I stepped back, lifting the whip again, and brought it down across her other thigh.

Chapter: BONUS — AFTER STORY 8 GABRIELLE’S POV My body bounced twice on the bed when Damon dropped me onto it. I stared up at him, speechless, as he took off his jacket and began undoing his cuffs, his eyes never leaving mine. We were never apart for long without intimacy, but it had been a while since I had seen that wild look in his eyes. I missed it. Damon pulled his shirt over his head and climbed onto the bed. One hand closed around my thigh while the other supported his weight as he moved over me. I placed my hand against his chest, stopping him from leaning down. “Take me to the private room,” I said. After we moved, he had a private room made for us—similar to the one in his penthouse—hidden behind the walk-in closet. He paused, studying my expression. “You haven’t asked for that in a while. Are you sure?” “Yes,” I answered. Damon didn’t hesitate. He got off the bed and lifted me over his shoulders before stepping into the closet. He pressed the code into the lock and a few minutes later, a d

I told her I would be back in a minute.”A brief pause followed.“When I came back down, she was gone.”My jaw tightened slightly. “Gone how?”“The car was gone,” she replied. “I called her immediately, but she did not answer. I assumed she was with you or that she had to leave for something urgent.”I stared at her for a moment, processing every word carefully.“And you did not think to call again?” I asked, my tone harsher than intended. “Or inform me?”I immediately regretted that.“I did,” she answered, her voice breaking slightly. “Multiple times, but neither of you picked up. The last call was a few minutes ago.”I took out my phone and immediately sent a text to my head

I turned to Rhys beside me in the back passenger seat. “Don’t go through the front door. I don’t want my kids to see blood all over their uncle.” Rhys barely reacted. “Yes, brother.” “And while you’re at it, stop murdering people everywhere you go,” I said, struggling to keep my calm as anger coursed through me. “What the fuck, Rhys?” He called me a few hours ago to pick him up from a club where he murdered a man in front of everyone. And obviously not in a clean way with the amount of blood he had on him. “I know,” he responded, staring out the window. “I fucked up. I’ll have Vani handle it.” I looked away from him. “No, you won’t. I’ll handle it, as usual. However, I shouldn't be cleaning up your mess. How hard is it not to kill?” “Well maybe they shouldn’t be doing things that incur death,” he snapped. “How about that? How about people ju

Chapter: 50 SHADES OF PRAY (15) ARYA’S POV I leaned against my bedroom door, racking my brain for a way to get us out of this mess. I was this close to finally uncovering Father Leonardo’s secret. I couldn’t let that man snitch before I did. Handling this on my own would be easy as pie, but with Leo involved, I couldn’t do too much. Otherwise, he’d figure out I was hiding something. “Think, Arya.” I opened the door and walked down the stairs to find Father Leonardo already questioning him. “You work for the Matteos’ family?” he was asking. The man glared at him. “I’m a staff member in their house. And if I’m missing for too long, they’ll look for me.” I stepped carefully into the living room, keeping my hands close to my chest. Father Leonardo crouched in front of the man, who was tied to the chair like some helpless animal. His usual calm, almost unnerving composure was there, but his eyes—those cold, calculating eyes—were darker than I’d ever seen. My body reacted despite the s

Chapter: 50 SHADES OF PRAY (14)LEONARDO’S POVThe man’s body went down immediately. He didn’t move or even make any sound of pain. A scream escaped Arya, almost bleeding my eardrums. I moved and pressed my palm against her mouth, muffling the sound. “Shush, now. Do you want to draw a crowd?”She shook her head. “Good,” I said, my voice low. “When I move my hand do not scream. Nod if you understand?”She nodded. I moved away from her slowly. When I was a few feet away, she fell to the ground and broke into a sob.I closed my eyes for a second.Of course she did.Most people didn’t react well to seeing someone get hit hard enough to collapse like a sack of grain.I crouched beside the man and checked his pulse. It was still there but slow, a sign that I must have lost my touch. One hit from me would have usually killed him. Behind me, Arya’s quiet sobs filled the room.I rubbed a hand over my face and stood up. “Arya.”She didn’t respond.“Arya,” I repeated more firmly.Her watery eyes lifted to me. “You—you

Chapter: 50 SHADES OF PRAY (13)LEONARDO’S POV “Father—“ Arya started. I ran after him without another word and without waiting to hear what she had to say, my pulse pounding in my ears. The man had already pushed through the doors and was halfway across the courtyard when I caught sight of him again. “Hey!” I called out. He didn’t stop. If anything, he ran faster. Shit. People in the courtyard turned to stare as I moved past them quickly, trying not to make it look like I was chasing someone down like a criminal. “Excuse me,” I said, forcing a calm smile as I brushed past a group of guests. The man reached the gates and nearly collided with one of the guards before rushing out into the street. I stopped just before the gate. Running after him any further would only draw attention. My jaw clenched as I watched him disappear down the road. Perfect. Just perfect. I dragged a hand down my face and took a slow breath, trying to calm the storm building inside my chest.

But I have to go to the next town for other duties. You’ll go in my place to the Barones and handle things there.”The Barones were Matteo’s family.They were hosting something I didn’t care about enough to remember, and Father Dominic had been invited as the oldest priest.But now he was trying to make me go in his place.I couldn’t stand those people, and I hated Matteo so much that I feared going there might blow my cover.“What do you say?” Father Dominic’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts.“Do I have a choice?” I asked.He let out an amused laugh. “Which means you will. Thank you, boy. I can’t imagine what I’d do with this place without you.”I forced a polite smile.“If I refuse,” I said carefully, “you’ll just keep asking until I agree anywa

Chapter: 50 SHADES OF PRAY (11) ARYA’S POV Oh, and I did take it. I took everything he gave me until it felt unbearable. Father Leonardo switched positions so we were lying side by side and facing each other, his cock still deep in me. He placed my leg over his body and pulled me even closer, his lips capturing mine in a kiss that mimicked our bodies. His tongue pushed against mine, kissing me in a filthy, dirty way, and claiming every inch of my mouth while his shaft fucked into me. My body was overstimulated, but still needy for more. “You feel so good, Arya,” he growled against my lips as he broke the kiss. “So fucking good.” “Yeah?” His hand reached down and his finger circled my clit. “Fuck, yes!” My whole body shook as he held me close, moving inside me with deep, possessive strokes that made my stomach tighten and my walls clench. I placed my hand over my mouth again when a scream threatened to escape me. “Good girl,” he growled in approval. “Stay quiet for me, okay?” I nod

I obeyed without hesitation, and he slid his thick, hot cock down my throat again at a slow pace, making my eyes water.“Fuck,” he cursed, his gaze fixed on me. “I could watch you like this forever. Is it too much?”I shook my head, eager for more of him. He pulled my hair back and thrust into my mouth again, harder this time. Then he picked up a steady rhythm, fucking my mouth like he owned it.And in that moment, he did. I gagged around him occasionally, enjoying every twitch of his shaft as my saliva eased the friction.“Just like that,” he murmured approvingly.His grip on my hair loosened, his fingers patting me gently in contrast to the way he ravished my mouth

His expression wasn’t soft. It wasn’t hard either.“What the fuck are you here for?” I asked, my eyes narrowing. He didn’t respond immediately. He closed the distance between us and pulled me into a tight hug. I struggled to move out of his grip but he didn’t let me. “Let go, Grimani,” I sneered. He finally pulled away, his eyes on me like he was scared I’d disappear if he blinked. His gaze softened, just for a fraction of a second, before the steel returned.“I came as soon as I heard,” he said quietly, his voice low enough that only I could hear. “I wasn’t going to let anything happen to you.”I scoffed, brushing past him, every part of me burning with hate and resentment for him. “You think showing up now fixes anything? You weren’t here when I needed help.”“I know,” h

They got here in no time. John was dead but Veronica was still barely alive. I shook my head, tugging the blanket tighter around me. “No. Not any that I know of.”He wrote something down in his notes. The nurse asked if I was hurt anywhere else or sexually assaulted and I shook my head. I saw the other paramedics carry Veronica past me on a stretcher. I walked up to them as they pushed her into the ambulance. “Would she be fine?” I asked, concern evident on my face. One of them answered. “We can’t tell yet. She was badly beaten up by that psycho.”I sighed. “I hope she gets better soon. She saved my life. I will owe her for the rest of my life.”The paramedic smiled. “Then pray for her.”I took a step back as the ambulance drove off. I spotted Marilyn from the office a few distances away. She wa

He moved behind me, dragging Veronica’s body behind him. She was probably dead because she wasn’t even responsive. “Turn to the right,” he said. I turned right and saw he had already dug two shallow graves. One for me and one for her. My chest tightened. “Stop,” he said. I paused. “You must be wondering why I dug two graves,” he said, standing in front of me now. “And whatever you're thinking is right. One is for you and the other is for Veronica.”I swallowed. “But I’m not going to kill you yet,” he said, something glimmering in his eyes. “We’re going to be in love forever. This is only here for when you misbehave or try to leave me again.”“John… listen to me,” I said, my throat parched. “I’m not your soulmate. Please just let me go. I won’t inform the police, I swear.”He laughed. “Like hell I will. Now, you have

Chapter: THE WAY ROBERTO’S POV The flight back to Italy felt like hell. I was sat between Vanessa and my uncle Victor. She went on and on about how things used to be between us and how much she missed them. I ignored her. As if that wasn’t hell enough, Uncle Victor was talking about a ship filled with drugs that he wanted me to help smuggle into the country. I exhaled. “No. I’m not doing that. I gave up that life long ago.” “That’s not my concern,” Victor said. “A woman like Bianca who knows her worth won’t take you back. She’s gone and the earlier you accept that, the better for us all.” I swallowed. He was right. Unless I found a way to prove it was either kiss my ex or let her die, she wouldn’t forgive me. “It’s still not happening,” I said. He smiled. “I thought you might say that. So I’m going to remind you what’s at stake. You’ve lost your woman, do you want to loose your sister too?” My hands tightened on the armrests until my knuckles went white.

I replayed the kiss between Rob and Vanessa a thousand times in my head, wondering what could have happened. I was finally ready to give us another chance. A chance he begged for. What happened? The door pushed open and my kidnapper stepped in, dragging a woman behind him. She was bloodied and limp but still alive. She was tied up. He dropped her at my feet like a bag of garbage. “Recognize her now?” he asked. My gaze darted from him to the woman’s face. Blood matted her hair, but when I looked closer, my stomach twisted. It was Veronica, the doctor who invited me to their work bonfire. I raised my eyes to my kidnapper’s face. “What did you do to her?” I whispered.

I wouldn’t be able to hold myself back from doing something stupid if I engaged with her. Victor walked out of the bathroom with a smile on his face. “I heard everything and I must say, I didn’t feel that was just an act.” “You’ve gotten what you wanted. I broke her trust and she’s gone now so what do you want?” I asked. He smirked as he poured wine into the glass on his table. “I want us to celebrate. With her gone, there’s no limit to what you can do. Welcome back, Roberto.” Vanessa poured herself a glass. “Oh, we’re going to have so much fun.” My fist clenched beside me.

Chapter: THE ENDONE YEAR LATER Leonardo watched her from the doorway, his arms folded as a soft smile played on his lips. Arya stood by the crib, gently stroking the twins’ hair until their breathing grew soft and even. A new mother in her element — flourishing. But he knew it wasn’t just because they were finally reunited with their babies. No, there was another weight lifted off her shoulders. Andrea’s body had washed ashore the morning after they returned to Italy. Whoever killed him had clearly found no more use for him. But Leonardo still wondered — was it Vito? He stepped forward, his voice low. “It’s been a year since we got back. The kids are happy, safe, and drowning in all the love we could give them. Are you finally ready for us?” Arya turned, eyes locking with his in that way that always made him feel like the only man in the world. “More than anything, Leo. I love our family — but throwing parties, decorating, smiling at guests — that’s not what I want to do with my life.” His smile

The metal retracted with a soft mechanical hiss, followed by a deep click as ancient locks gave way. The door of the safe creaked open, revealing what lay inside.Her breath caught.An old, thick book, its leather cover worn but unnaturally strong, sat beside a small, sleek device. The contrast between them — one ancient, the other unnervingly advanced — sent a chill through Arya’s spine.Isabel’s breath hitched. “I thought that was destroyed during the final battle between the Order and the Sisterhood — over fifty years ago.”Arya’s fingers hovered over the objects. “What exactly is it?”Dolores stepped forward, her face grim. “It’s a weapon.

Chapter: WHISPERS OF THE DEADThe silence after Henry’s death was suffocating. Leonardo and Arya stood over his body, blood painting their hands and faces, their breath ragged and uneven. The room was littered with corpses, a battlefield stained with loyalty and betrayal.Ricardo and Roberto had finished off the remaining men, but Isabel barely had a moment to breathe before a rough hand seized her arm.“Let go of me!” Isabel struggled, but the man twisted her arm behind her back, dragging her toward the far end of the room. Leonardo’s gun snapped up, finger curling around the trigger — but before anyone could react, a single, sharp gunshot rang out.The man crumpled at Isabel’s feet, blood pouring from a hole between his eyes.Dolores stood a few feet away, smoke curling from her pistol. Her expression was calm, but her eyes betrayed years of unresolved rage. “No one touches another woman in front of me again.”Isabel stumbled into Arya’s arms, trembling. “It’s over,” Arya whispered. “You’re safe now.”But then A

His heart was a hammer against his ribs, but his hand was steady, aimed straight at Andreas’ head. And yet, the Pope only smiled. “Vito. Your grandfather. You have his temper… his instincts.” A pause, measured, deliberate. Then, softer—“His arrogance.” “You were close to him,” Leonardo said. His voice was steady, but inside, something twisted. Andreas smiled. “Closer than you think. He would have been proud of you, Leonardo. If only he were still alive.” Leonardo’s jaw tensed. Andreas had been a ghost from his past, a man he had once admired, a mentor in a strange way. And now, he was standing against him, speaking about his grandfather as if— He didn’t have time to unpack it. Because in the next second, Ricardo’s gun cracked, the shot echoing through the chamber.

Isabel coming to this town had been a coincidence.Hadn’t it?Her pulse hammered in her ears, drowning out the distant creaks of the ancient walls.“Isabel having Adriana? Her coming here? You’re spewing nonsense,” Arya said, her voice sharper than she intended.Henry smirked. “I am here to ensure my predecessors’ wishes are met. Of course, her coming here wasn’t a coincidence. Neither was Stanley getting her pregnant. We ruined your life in ways that would bring you here. Not that we had to try too hard—Stanley was more than happy to do it and didn’t even come back for his pay.”Isabel gasped, her breath hitching. “Wha—”“I beg you, Isabel.” Henry’s voice turned colder, almost bored. “Don’t speak until you’re spoken to.

Chapter: A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANEA second of stunned silence stretched between them. Then, as if a trigger had been pulled, everyone moved at once. Ricardo’s hand flew to his gun. Leonardo stepped protectively in front of Arya. Dolores unsheathed a hidden dagger from her belt, while Isabel squared her stance, ready for a fight. Roberto cocked his pistol, finger already on the trigger. But Henry didn’t flinch. Instead, he smiled. And then—the ground shook. A deep, guttural rumble echoed through the underground chamber, vibrating up their legs. Dust rained from the ceiling. The ancient stone beneath their feet groaned, as if something massive had just shifted deep within the earth. For a fraction of a second, everyone hesitated. And that was all Henry needed. A single, sharp whistle left his lips. A sniper’s laser appeared—red and deadly—right over Arya’s forehead. Leonardo’s stomach dropped. “Ah-ah,” Henry tutted, raising a single finger. “You know, I’d really rather not get blood all over these nic
