I tried to step back, but the counter trapped me. “I won’t be your plaything, Marco.”
He smiled, a dangerous, seductive curve of his lips. “Is that so?” He pulled me close, his hand burning through my dress. His lips brushed my neck, sending shivers down my spine. “I think you like this more than you admit.”
I wanted to resist, but when his mouth claimed mine, I melted into the kiss, my body betraying me. Every touch ignited a fire I couldn’t control.
When he pulled back, his eyes were full of desire. “You can’t deny what’s between us, Sarah”

Chapter: Chapter 385MARCOThe city lights blurred past the windshield as I drove with no real direction. I should’ve gone straight home. I knew that. But something in me didn’t want to walk through that door just yet—not with the weight between us sitting in every corner of that house.So I turned off the main road, took a street I hadn’t driven in a while. Old route. Quiet. Familiar.Ten minutes later, I was pulling into a narrow lot behind a bar I used to come to before things got this heavy. Before marriage… Before it felt like the walls of my own house were pressing in on me.I didn’t come here often, but the bartender always remembered. His name was Luca. Broad shoulders, shaved head, always polishing the same damn glass like he was waiting for a reason to throw it.When I stepped inside, the smell hit me—wood, whiskey, and old smoke that never really left. The place hadn’t changed. Low lights. Wooden floors that creaked when you walked too fast. Booths along the wall, bar stools half-filled.I walk

Chapter: Chapter 384MARCOI woke up slow.Not the kind of slow that comes with sleep. The kind that creeps in after days of something not feeling right. I stared at the ceiling for a while, chest heavy in a way I couldn’t explain. Not pain. Not sickness. Just weight.I pushed myself up, rolled my shoulders, stretched my arms out till the joints cracked. My body moved like it’d been through something, even if the night before had been quiet. I rubbed the back of my neck, then my face. Blinked against the soft morning light leaking through the curtains.The chair by the wall caught my eye.Her robe wasn’t there.I frowned, squinting at the empty spot. That robe never moved. She always folded it neatly before bed and left it there in the morning, soft and draped like a second skin.The tray beside the nightstand was bare too. No coffee. No steam. No note. No sign of her.Something twisted low in my gut.I kicked off the blanket, stood, and walked over to the window. I pulled the curtain aside slowly, not kn

Chapter: Chapter 383THIRD PERSON Sofia sat at the edge of her cream-colored couch, one leg crossed over the other, her posture perfect but her thoughts scattered. The soft murmur of Milan traffic floated through the open balcony doors, mingling with the quiet ticking of the wall clock behind her. Her apartment was spotless, clean lines, neutral tones, everything exactly where it should be. Except her mind.Legal files were spread across the glass coffee table, color-coded tabs poking out from thick stacks of documents. A half-empty cup of espresso sat beside them, cold now. Her laptop screen glowed with the open case she’d been reviewing—a custody battle involving two high-profile clients. Messy, political, emotional. The kind of case Sofia usually thrived on.Her phone buzzed beside her. She didn’t flinch.It was her client again, third time in an hour. She reached for the phone and answered, tone calm, clipped.“Mr. Valenti,” she said. “I’ve already filed the motion. The judge won’t overturn custody j

Chapter: Chapter 382SARAHI didn’t turn around.My fingers moved fast, sliding the photo back into the envelope. I pushed it deep into the pocket of my robe and closed the drawer gently, careful not to make a sound. My breath felt tight in my chest, like I hadn’t taken in enough air since I saw her name—Sofia.When I finally turned around, the office door was cracked open. The hallway outside was still and empty, but something in the air felt off. Like whoever had opened the door hadn’t fully left. I stood there, not breathing, not blinking, just listening.Nothing. No footsteps. No voice. No shadow.But I knew someone had been there. Watching. Listening.I stepped out of the office and pulled the door closed behind me. My feet were bare, the floor cold under them as I made my way back upstairs. I didn’t rush, didn’t run. I just moved like a shadow. Quiet… careful.When I reached the bedroom, Marco’s side of the bed was still untouched. Still made. Still waiting.I slipped back under the covers, heart st

Chapter: Chapter 381SARAHI backed away from the kitchen before she could see me. My hands were damp. My heart thudded so loud it felt like my chest might split.The hallway was dark and quiet. I kept close to the wall and moved slow, every step measured, like one wrong sound would give me away. When I reached the curve by the stairs, I ducked behind the thick column and crouched low.Then I heard it—The kitchen door creaked open.Her heels tapped once, twice. Then nothing.She stood there. I could feel it. Listening.I held my breath. My hands were shaking. My knees pressed hard into the marble.She stayed there for what felt like a lifetime. Then slowly… she turned back and walked in.The door clicked shut.I didn’t move right away. I counted to ten. Then ten more.Finally, I stood, heart still racing, and crept back up the stairs. My legs were stiff, like they didn’t belong to me.When I slipped into the bedroom, Marco was still asleep, his back turned, chest rising steady. I slid under the covers be

Chapter: Chapter 380SARAHI woke up with the sound of a drawer closing. The sun was already pushing through the curtains. Marco stood near the mirror, fixing the collar of his shirt. His sleeves were rolled up, and his hair was still damp from a quick shower. I didn’t know what time it was, but it felt too early.He looked over, saw me awake, and gave a half-smile. “Didn’t mean to wake you.”I sat up slowly, rubbing my eyes. “It’s okay.”He walked over, leaned down, and kissed my forehead. “I’ve got to head out early. I need to stop by the docks, and then Tony wants to review some old contracts. Family stuff.”My chest tightened a little. “That sounds… fun.”He chuckled softly. “She’s not that bad, Sira.”I gave a small smile, but it didn’t reach my eyes. “I know.”Marco touched my cheek. “Don’t let her get to you. She’s just… from another world. That’s all.”“I’m fine, Marco.”He paused, searching my face. “Are you?”I nodded, even though I wasn’t sure. “Go. You’ll be late.”He kissed me once more, grab

Chapter: Chapter 21SELENEWhen I opened my eyes, it wasn’t like before. There wasn’t that crushing weight on my chest, or that strange ache pulling at every corner of my body. My head felt clearer. My limbs didn’t feel like they were made of stone. I sat up, slowly, but this time, I didn’t need to use the headboard to do it. I just… did.It was quiet outside, the sun already hanging high like I’d slept half the day away. Maybe I had. But I wasn’t mad at it. For the first time in days, I actually felt like myself again.I swung my legs off the bed and stood. No spinning. No wobble. Just me, on my feet.The bathroom felt cold when I stepped in, but I didn’t care. I turned on the tap and let the bath fill with warm water, the kind that wraps around your skin and pulls all the tiredness out of your bones. I took my time. Washed my hair. Scrubbed my skin. Soaked until the water turned lukewarm and I was pruning. It felt like peeling off days of sickness, sweat, and Adrien’s hovering presence.I stepped out,

Chapter: Chapter 20SELENEWhen I opened my eyes, the sun had already pushed its way past the curtains, spilling quiet light across the room. For a second, I just lay there, staring up at the ceiling. Everything was still. No movement, no sound, not even the usual distant echo of the staff going about their business.My body felt less heavy, but not by much. I shifted under the covers and tried to push myself up, slowly, using my elbows to guide me. A sharp ache pulled across my shoulders and lower back. My limbs felt sore like I’d been thrown around, and my throat still scratched every time I swallowed.I moved to swing my legs over the side of the bed, but the room spun the second I lifted my head. I froze, swallowing against the dizziness, and laid back down.Just then, the door opened.A woman in a soft blue uniform stepped in, her face calm and practiced. The nurse. She looked surprised to see me awake.“Oh—good morning, Mrs. Adrien,” she said gently, walking toward me. “How are you feeling?”I hate

Chapter: Chapter 19SELENEWhen I opened my eyes, the soft light in the room made me squint. Everything felt hazy, my head pounding faintly, my limbs heavy. For a moment, I didn’t even recognize where I was. Slowly, as my vision cleared, I realized I was in my room, lying on my bed.I tried to sit up, but my body protested, weak and sluggish. My mind scrambled to piece together what had happened. When did I fall asleep? The last thing I remembered was—Adrien.The argument. His cold, unyielding presence. The dizziness that had overwhelmed me. My body shutting down mid-protest. I pressed a hand to my forehead, wincing at the faint ache as the memory returned. He’d grabbed me, and I’d lost consciousness.I exhaled shakily, my gaze sweeping the room. That’s when I noticed it. A drip stand stood by the side of the bed, an IV attached to my arm. I stared at it, bewildered, and then noticed a small tray on the table nearby, lined with medical supplies I didn’t recognize.When did all of this get here?The door

Chapter: Chapter 18SELENEI sat on the edge of the bed for a moment longer, letting the anger simmer quietly beneath the surface. I wasn’t going to let Adrien get to me. Not anymore. Whatever he threw my way, I would deal with it. But I wouldn’t let it define me.With a shaky breath, I stood up and made my way to the bathroom. My drenched clothes felt suffocating, the weight of them a constant reminder of last night. I peeled them off slowly, my body protesting every movement. The warmth of the bathroom was a small comfort, the steam from the shower already starting to fill the room as I turned the water on.The hot spray hit my skin, and I let out a sigh of relief. It was like washing away the remnants of the night—the rain, the cold, the humiliation. I stood there for a while, letting the water cascade over me, hoping it would take some of the exhaustion with it.But then it hit me—an eerie, bone-deep tiredness that seemed to creep into every part of me. My head began to pound, sharp and piercing, lik

Chapter: Chapter 17SELENEThe chill of the evening air clung to me as I stood frozen on the doorstep, staring at the closed door. My heart felt like it had been ripped from my chest and left to shatter on the cold, unwelcoming ground. He really did it. He threw me out. He wasn’t bluffing, wasn’t making an empty threat to scare me into submission. Adrien had made good on his word, and now here I was—locked outside, alone, like a discarded piece of trash.I clenched my arms around myself, the reality sinking in like a sharp blade to my ribs. This was my life now. This was what it meant to be with him. How had I let it come to this?The evening sky above was painted with shades of fading light, a soft pink bleeding into muted gray as the sun dipped further below the horizon. I stared at it, trying to focus on anything other than the heavy ache in my chest. The colors were beautiful, serene even, but they felt like a mockery of my turmoil.Tears pricked at the edges of my eyes, but I swallowed hard, refusin

Chapter: Chapter 16SELENEThe silence in the car was unbearable, thick with tension so palpable I felt like I was suffocating. I stared out the window, the world outside a blur as I tried to keep myself together. My heart pounded relentlessly, my chest tight with a storm of emotions I couldn’t untangle. Adrien sat beside me, his hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly I thought it might snap under the pressure. His jaw was clenched, the muscle there ticking in rhythm with his barely restrained fury.I bit down on the inside of my cheek, hard enough to taste blood, willing myself to stay silent. I wanted to speak, to demand an explanation for his behavior, to yell at him for humiliating me in front of everyone, but the knot in my throat was too tight.The tension in the car was stifling, pressing down on me like a weight I couldn’t escape. I could feel Adrien’s anger radiating off him, sharp and suffocating, and I hated that it was aimed at me. My chest ached with frustration, with anger of my own,

His deadly obsession
His steely gaze bore into mine, an abyss of emotionless darkness.
"Marc-"
"SHUT UP!"
I
flinched, a shudder coursing through me. He came on closer, his fingers tightening around my neck, a cruel parody of a caress. I met his frightening stare, I stared at him breathing heavily.
"Just be still."
I lowered my face, eyelids fluttering shut, as if seeking solace in the darkness.
"I own you."
His declaration resounding heavy in the air, an unbreakable chain binding me to this desire’s. In that moment, I knew - there was no escaping the clutches of this man who held me captive, body and soul.

Chapter: Chapter 8ElenaI stood in my fancy room, feeling trapped and unhappy. The red silk walls seemed to glow, but it wasn't a warm and cozy glow - it was more like a reminder of the life I was stuck in. The soft carpets felt like they were suffocating me, and the big bed with its fancy headboard and satin sheets just made me feel like I was stuck in a life I didn't want.The pillows were piled high, but they didn't offer much comfort. The fireplace had pictures of my husband's ancestors, and they seemed to watch me all the time, making me feel like I was being judged. The fire crackled and popped, and it seemed to be hungry for something - maybe my freedom.Outside, the gardens were beautiful and full of life, but they just made me feel trapped. I had a simple writing desk from my old life, but it was empty now, except for a pen that felt too heavy to hold. Every fancy thing in the room just reminded me that I was stuck in a life I didn't want.I felt like I was in a cage, and I wanted to break fre

Chapter: Chapter 7I struggled to regain my composure, questioning Marco's sanity. Why would he unleash such brutality on Daren? The fear of others getting hurt due to this madness gripped my thoughts. My 72 hours were up, and I contemplated surrendering to Marco before more damage unfolded. It wasn’t long before, Marco and his imposing entourage made a formidable entrance, the evening breeze conspiring to announce their arrival. The subtle creak of the door, the hushed whispers of his accompanying goons – it was a well played out display of intimidation as Marco stepped into the room, casting a commanding shadow that seemed to stretch across the entire space. "Tempo scaduto, Elena," Marco pronounced, his demand echoing through the room. "I want that answer now." "I...l-" I started, my words hesitating. "Be careful, Elena," Marco interrupted, his warning carrying a palpable sense of impending consequences. "I'll accept your offer, Marco," I uttered, a tinge of sadness in my voice. However, ther

Chapter: Chapter 6********* Amidst the shadows that envelop the barnhouse, Marco De Luca arrives with an air of authority, determined to extinguish the supposed threat posed by Daren. His steps echo with a lethal rhythm, resonating the impending confrontation. "Where is he?" Marco's voice cuts through the tense silence as he addresses one of his goons, his gaze piercing the room. "He's tied in that corner," Vinny replies, pointing towards an ominous darkness. “Guardia bene," Marco commands, a subtle flick of his fingers. Vinny, a close ally in Marco's trusted circle, stations two tough guys outside the barn, ready to guard against any unexpected trouble. Spotting Daren, Marco issues an unsettling directive, deploying two of his men to commence a brutal assault on Daren even in his sleep. The initial blow to Daren's stomach jolts him awake, blindfolded and futilely struggling against his restraints. The onslaught continues, the men taking turns to rain blows upon Daren, assaulting different p

Chapter: Chapter 5************* The dimly lit lounge wrapped Marco in an intoxicating mix of luxury and allure. His crew stood by, solid as the stone walls around them. Women paraded all around him. In the midst of the wild party, his thoughts kept drifting to Elena. Seventy-two hours. A ticking clock to her surrender. He could almost taste the victory of breaking her spirit. Suddenly, Vinny, his right-hand man, rushed over looking all serious. "Marco, you gotta know this. The Vittorio, they're up to something suspicious." "The Vittorio, huh?" Marco mused. The name carried weight in their world. "Keep an eye on them, Santiago. This might get interesting." As Vinny hurried off, Marco let himself be swept back into the rhythm of the lounge. "Hello mister," one of the strippers purred, a naughty gleam in her eye. Marco gave her a sly grin. "Spicing up the night, aren't you?" She leaned closer, her voice a sultry secret. "Names don't matter, as long as you remember the moment." Elena A

Chapter: Chapter 4Elena I could barely focus, every step feeling like a careless dance on unsteady ground. Marco's ordeal was a looming specter, a dark cloud threatening to suffocate me. Why is he doing this? What does he want from me? It's illegal, it's outrageous! My own father, willing to hand me over to this devil in exchange for a debt clearance, and the audacity of Marco to suggest... that! I refuse to be a sacrificial lamb, not for my father, not for anyone. I've worked tirelessly, day and night, to keep us afloat. This is a line I won't cross. Daren's voice broke through my swirling thoughts, a lifeline in the storm. I blinked, my gaze drawn to the spilt coffee on the kitchen sink. Dammit!. "What's going on, Elena? You've been off since you got here," Daren's concern was evident. I let out a deep sigh, "Just overwhelmed, you know? Life and all." "I get it," he chuckled. "Take it easy on yourself. Why don't you go take some orders, assist McKenzie? I'll handle this." His words we

Chapter: Chapter 3************* The room was hushed, the weight of Elena's father's words hanging in the air. His face, once filled with warmth and laughter, was now etched with lines of worry and regret. He cleared his throat, his voice heavy with the burden of his confession. "I don't know how to say this," he started, his voice faltering, "but I've gotten myself into a dire situation. I've incurred a debt with a man, a dangerous one, and... and there have been threats made against our lives." Elena's breath caught in her throat, her mind racing to make sense of the words. "Threats? Father, who is this man? What kind of debt are we talking about?" Elena's father hesitated, his gaze dropping to the letter. "His name is Marco Moretti. He's a powerful figure, and I owe him a substantial amount of money. I fear for our lives, Elena. For yours and your brother's." "Elena, I'm thinking of offering you to the crime boss in exchange for our lives." Elena's hands clenched into fists, her anger and
