Chapter: Chapter 142_My Identity Briana's POV“The nerve of Adrian,” I growled as I reached my room. My chest heaved as I breathed heavily. I was breathless from running too fast. I had followed Adrian to the terrace when she met Alicia. Then I heard him tell her things, teaching her to be wary of me. “How dare he?” I thought out loud. Holding my chest, I rushed to the jug on my table, grabbed the glass and as I lifted the jug. I cussed under my breath. “Why did it have to be empty today of all days?” I thought. I rolled my eyes as I dropped it down. I couldn’t go out now. What if they saw me?I already broke a vase as I was trying to leave without getting caught. But what was Adrian’s business if Alicia had decided to be a fool and trust me? Couldn’t he just leave her to me, so I would destroy everything about her?My revenge hadn’t even started– earlier, I had come to Alex, so I would fulfill my father’s desire of getting this pack, but now, it was more than that. It had passed desire and it was the fire of reve

Chapter: Chapter 141_A Foe Indeed
Alicia's POV“Adrian, why are you talking to them like they’re your enemies?” I growled at Adrian as soon as Alex slammed the door shut. He had his phone out, I guess he was calling his driver, James, to bring his car. Adrian glared at me through the rear view mirror, but he was mute. Arnold shook his head at me. “Dont be a fool, girl. If you let her, she’ll trample all over you.”I giggled, tears gathering in my eyes. “Oh. you know that? But do you care?” I asked Arnold back, seeing he was not any better than her. He had used and hurt me too anyways.“I have certain rights, she has none–” Arnold was saying when Adrian glared at him. “What rights do you have?” Adrian asked. “To hurt her?” Arnold gritted his teeth and kept his eyes peeled on the road. I knew he was avoiding Adrian’s gaze. “Say one more rubbish and you are getting out of the car too. So you better drive.”Arnold grunted and started the car, the school’s gates were pushed open and we drove past. I narrowed my eyes on

Chapter: Chapter 140_Entitlement Mentality
Adrian’s POV“Goddess, make things easier for her at least.” I thought as I stood at the top of the corridor watching Alicia at the foot fighting back her tears after her mother’s question.“Alicia, when are you going to stand for your rights?” Step mum stood and stormed to Alicia, grabbing her shoulder. “Mum, please.” Alicia pleaded as she tried to shrug her mum's hand off.“Alicia, are you blind?” Step mum asked and I gritted my teeth, seeing Alicia pinch her eyes shut, struggling.“Alex was your mate, he lost control and went ahead to get another woman pregnant, now you have to accept it and take care of it?”Alex was just standing there, looking down as Briana, like what Vera was saying wasn’t the absolute truth. Since we got a mate, I had never been in any scandal with any other girl, I just don’t know what’s wrong with Arnold and Alex.“Mum?” Alicia mouthed softly. “What do you want me to do?” Her shoulder dropped like one who had given up.“Fight Alicia, for–”She scoffed, cut

Chapter: Chapter 139_Friend Or Foe In Disguise
Alicia's POV“What is she doing here?” I asked as I dropped the watering can that I was using to water the flowers with Adrian. We were talking about moving and he was still arguing that he had to come with me. I came to water the flowers because it gave me a sense of peace, but Adrian had followed me down here, standing on his point that we should leave together. I was thinking to consider it, because Alex and Arnold had been quite a disappointment. Now I turned and saw this girl. What the heck was she doing here?“What was wrong with Alex, you haven’t even travelled and he invited his pesky girlfriend over?” Adrian growled as he balled his fist. “Did she come with Dad?” I asked, looking at Dad that was almost storming into the house. Adrian took my hand. “Stay close to me.” he pulled me up and we approached Alex who stood with her talking to her. “I see you have a visitor, Alex?”Alex gritted his teeth and took Briana’s hand. “Come in,” He told her, ignoring us as he pulled her

Chapter: Chapter 138_A Baby Surprise.
Briana's POV“Here's my ticket to victory,” I muttered looking at the positive pregnancy test results I just got from the hospital.I laughed out as I threw my head back. “It's just so wonderful how everything is falling into place.” My car was still outside the hospital where I came to get my results. I picked my phone from the front passenger seat.I paused as I reached Alex's number. “I should tell him first, but that– wouldn't help that much.”I bit my bottom lip and scrolled past his name. “He wouldn't give me what I want, I'll speak to the one in charge.”“Alpha Richard,” grinning, I mentioned his name as my finger hovered above his number.“You’ll give me what I want,” I finished and dialed his number.It rang the first time but no response. I narrowed my eyes. “You can ignore me, but not my message, Sir.”I quickly started to type a text. {Hi, Alpha Richard,It’s Briana and I hope this message finds you well. I'm texting because I called and didn't get a response.So, we nee

Chapter: Chapter 137_Blessings Not Money.
Alicia's POV“It’s not her fault, why does she have to leave?” Adrian asked as he grabbed the visa and flight tickets that my Step Dad was giving to me.“Stay out of this, Adrian and give me those documents!” Richard thundered at Adrian and I flinched. He was furious. I came in and saw him talking to the boys. That was when he told me he also knew about our bond. “But, I don’t want to be separated from my mates, it would hurt us.” I sobbed, tears rolling down my eyes.Arnold gritted his teeth and looked down. “This was why we didn’t want to tell you about it all, because you never truly understand us.”Richard chuckled. “What’s there to understand apart from this being an abomination, Adrian.” Alex sighed. “An abomination had never felt this good.” I faced him and he touched my hand. “I know I’m a prick at times, but I can’t deny the fact that Alicia is the best thing that ever happened to me– to us.”He turned to look at Adrian and Arnold who nodded. Arnold contributed, “I’m an ass

A love forged in Darkness and Desire
"It won’t fit," I whispered, my breath hitching as he leaned closer, his lips grazing my ear.
His voice was dark, commanding, and impossibly seductive. "You have no idea what your body is capable of.
Relax and let me teach you."
Alessia never believed in fairy tales. Life had taught her that happy endings were a cruel illusion. Struggling to care for her sick mother, she’s spent years working dead-end jobs, her sharp tongue and stubborn nature ensuring she never stayed anywhere for long. Now, she’s a bartender in a shady Sicilian bar, juggling rowdy customers and a boss who thinks a raise is only for women willing to strip.
Then he walked in.
Luca Romano is a man of few words but commands a room with his presence. The whispers about him are conflicting—billionaire, recluse, criminal mastermind. Women throw themselves at his feet, but his cold, detached demeanor makes one thing clear: he doesn’t care about anyone. Yet when Alessia crosses his path, everything changes.
What begins as a business arrangement—a desperate woman agreeing to play the role of his date for one night—quickly spirals into something much darker. Luca’s possessiveness knows no bounds, and Alessia finds herself drawn into a world of power, danger, and unrelenting desire.
But Luca has secrets as deep as his scars, and his love is anything but gentle. He’s a man consumed by vengeance, his methods ruthless, his emotions raw. Alessia thought she could handle his intensity, but the closer she gets, the more she realizes there’s no escaping him.
He doesn’t just want her. He owns her.
And as their twisted romance unfolds.

Chapter: The Price of VengeanceLuca's Pov I sat in the dim light of my private study as the phone rang relentlessly on my mahogany desk. The storm of our recent actions still raged inside me—a storm I had long learned to harness but never truly control. I picked up the receiver with steady fingers, my voice low and resolute.“Rico,” I said, “it’s time.”On the other end, Rico’s tone was cautious, laden with concern. “Time? Are you absolutely sure, Luca?”I paused, letting silence hang in the line for a moment as I recalled every calculated step that had led to this point. “Yes, Rico. I’m sure,” I replied, my voice firm. “Tonight, we blow up the Claudia Mansion. It’s the final move.”There was a brief silence before Rico replied, “You really believe this will end it all?” His voice carried a mix of skepticism and worry.I nearly laughed at his question. “Belief is irrelevant when it comes to power, Rico. I built this island, and I have the means to reshape everything. The mansion is the nerve center of the Claudia E

Chapter: A promise and a lieAlessia's Pov The single word knocked the air out of my lungs.For a second, I thought I hadn’t heard him right. But there was no mistaking the cold, unwavering finality in his voice.I let out a bitter laugh, shaking my head. "You really don’t feel anything, do you?"Luca’s jaw tightened, but he didn’t look away. "Feelings have no place in what I do, Alessia.""Then what was I?" I demanded, stepping closer. "Just a pawn in your game? Just someone to manipulate?""You were a means to an end," he said simply, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "You were close to Sophia. That made you useful."The way he said it, so detached, so emotionless, shattered something inside me."Useful?" My voice cracked, but I didn’t care. "That’s all I ever was to you?"Luca’s gaze darkened, but he didn’t respond. And that silence was louder than any words he could have spoken.I swallowed past the lump in my throat, blinking rapidly to fight the sting in my eyes. "I was stupid," I whispere

Chapter: PuppetAlessia's Pov I shook my head, tears threatening to spill. “You never told me that—never told me that you’d become so consumed by it all. Was I just a distraction? A pawn to keep you from feeling the emptiness of power?”For a long, excruciating moment, Luca said nothing. The silence between us was deafening, filled with all the words we both refused to speak. Finally, his voice came out low, almost regretful. “I did what I had to, Alessia. I can’t change that.”“Then why was I even here?” I demanded, stepping closer until our faces were inches apart. “Why did you let me think we meant something to each other? Why did you let me love you?”Luca’s eyes softened briefly before hardening again. “I cared about you, but not in the way you want me to. I am not a man of sentiment. I am a man of power. And if you truly loved me, you’d understand that.”I felt my heart shatter at his words, my voice barely a whisper. “Understand? How can I understand when every day I feel more alone than the

Chapter: Broken Promises and Bitter TruthsAlessia's Pov Andrea nodded, his jaw set. "I won’t forget this night, Alessia. Not as long as I live. I promise you, whoever’s behind this, we’ll bring them down. We have to."But as the helicopter began to lift off, the sound of its rotors drowning out the chaos below, a sudden realization hit me with crushing force. Even as we soared away from the burning wreckage and the doomed island, the sense of dread lingered like a stain on my soul. I could still feel unseen eyes on me, and every turn of the helicopter made me wonder if this was truly the end—or just the beginning of a new nightmare.I leaned back in the cramped helicopter seat, trying to catch my breath, my mind racing. Andrea and Sophia sat quietly beside me, their expressions solemn. Sophia’s grip on the journal tightened even further, and I could see the determination in her eyes as she stared out at the receding island."I can’t shake the feeling," I murmured, almost to myself, "that someone’s still watching us."And

Chapter: The Final AttackAlessias point of veiw The air inside the tower was heavy with dread as I tried to catch my breath, still reeling from the earlier chaos. We had barely recovered from the previous skirmishes when, without warning, the heavy doors burst open. My heart lurched as a fresh wave of masked men flooded into the room—more of them than before, their eyes cold and ruthless behind their dark visors. In an instant, the fragile calm we had managed to salvage was shattered.“Run!” someone screamed, but there was no time. I dove for cover behind a row of old wooden crates, the sound of clashing bodies and frantic shouts filling the air. The attack was relentless. I could see Andrea leaping to intercept an assailant rushing toward me, and I heard Sophia’s anguished cry as she was cornered near a battered desk.Instinct took over. I scrambled to my feet, grabbing a piece of broken equipment—a jagged shard of metal from a shattered lamp—and steeled myself for the fight. A masked attacker lunged tow
