Sacrifice Of The Heart
In a kingdom ruled by magic and shadowed by secrets, Princess Elara was born to uphold a prophecy—one that demands her heart, her blood, and ultimately, her sacrifice. Magic belongs to the elite, and power is passed through bloodlines, but nothing prepared her for the storm of desire and danger that would unravel everything she believed.
Vesper Moretti, the ruthless heir to a deadly mafia empire, was the first man to shake her world. Cold, calculating, and intoxicatingly powerful, he vanished without a trace—leaving behind a shattered heart and unanswered questions. Now, he’s back… alive, dangerous, and claiming what was once his.
Torn between Vesper’s dark pull, Kael’s fierce loyalty, and Dain’s quiet rebellion, Elara is caught in a web of betrayal, prophecy, and passion. As the prophecy unfolds, one truth becomes chillingly clear: only one man can survive the end—and her choice will ignite war or salvation.
With ancient powers awakening and the line between love and ruin blurring, Elara must uncover the truth buried in blood and magic… before her kingdom, and her heart, are lost forever.

Chapter: Epilogue — A Kingdom RewrittenThe dawn broke softly over the reborn kingdom, painting the sky in hues of rose and gold. Where once there had been ruin and shadow, now there was light and quiet strength.Elara stood on the balcony of the new palace, her gaze sweeping across the land she had fought so hard to save. The air was different here—still carrying whispers of the past, but breathing with hope.Beside her, Kael’s hand found hers, steady and warm. Neither needed to speak; their shared silence was a vow renewed beyond words.The sacrifices made—the pain endured—had shaped not just the throne but the very soul of their people. The magic that once threatened to tear them apart now wove through the land in gentle currents, a reminder of both what had been lost and what had been gained.In the distance, children played near the ancient trees, their laughter a song of life continuing, of legacies reborn.As Elara looked back toward the horizon, a soft breeze carried a familiar scent—a blend of earth, flame, and som

Chapter: Chapter 145 — Ashes and BloomThe battlefield was quiet now, the echoes of war fading into a fragile calm. The air smelled of smoke and damp earth, but beneath the ashes, life was stirring.Elara stood at the edge of the shattered kingdom, her eyes tracing the horizon where ruins met the budding green of new growth. The cost had been immeasurable — friends lost, dreams shattered, and wounds that might never fully heal. Yet, amid the devastation, a fragile hope took root.Kael approached, his steps steady, a quiet strength in his presence. “The kingdom remembers, Elara. Not just the scars, but the courage that brought us here.”She turned to him, her voice soft but sure. “We’ve lost so much… but what remains is worth protecting. The legacy isn’t just the crown or the throne—it’s the hearts that keep beating, the stories still waiting to be told.”Around them, the people began to emerge from hiding—warriors, mages, and common folk alike—drawn by the promise of a future beyond fear. Children laughed cautiously, their

Chapter: Chapter 144 – Sacrifice of the HeartThe air was electric, charged with a magic so raw it burned like wildfire beneath Elara’s skin. The throne room—once a place of cold stone and empty power—had transformed into a battlefield of light and shadow, where fate itself seemed to hold its breath.Kael stood beside her, his eyes shadowed with exhaustion but fierce with resolve. Every step they took toward the altar felt heavier, as if the weight of every choice they’d made pressed down on them.Elara’s tattoo flared bright, casting ethereal light that illuminated the ancient runes etched into the floor. The power humming through her veins was no longer just a gift—it was a demand. It wanted something more. Something irreplaceable.“Are you ready?” Kael’s voice was barely audible, but it anchored her in the swirling chaos.She swallowed hard, feeling the truth settling deep in her chest. “There’s no turning back.”The chamber shuddered as the magic surged, twisting the air with ancient whispers. Elara closed her eyes and let th

Chapter: Chapter 143 — The Last VowThe great hall was silent, save for the steady drip of rain against the stained-glass windows. Shadows curled along the ancient stone walls like slow-moving smoke, wrapping the room in a quiet anticipation.Elara stood at the center, her heart pounding louder than the storm outside. Around her, the gathered nobles, mages, and warriors held their breath. This moment was more than ceremony—it was a binding thread, weaving fate and future in one irrevocable vow.Kael’s eyes met hers, fierce and steady, his hand resting lightly on the hilt of his sword. The weight of unspoken promises passed between them, heavier than any armor.The high priestess stepped forward, her voice calm but unwavering. “By the ancient rites, sealed with blood and spirit, do you swear allegiance not just to the throne, but to the kingdom’s very soul?”Elara’s gaze flickered to the symbols etched along the floor, the sigils pulsing faintly beneath her feet. This was no ordinary oath. This was a tether to everything

Chapter: Chapter 142 – The Choice Beneath the CrownThe throne room was silent. Not with peace — but with breathless tension, the kind that thickened the air like storm clouds about to break.Elara stood at the center, blood still drying on her armor, the mark on her wrist pulsing faintly beneath her glove. The crown lay on the dais before her — untouched, but far from unclaimed. It gleamed dully in the low light, a hollow thing of forged promises and forgotten mercy.Kael watched her from the steps, his sword sheathed, but his eyes unsheathed with grief. Vesper leaned against one of the fractured pillars, his arms crossed, cloak torn, as if the battle outside had carved through his soul as much as his skin.“The Council awaits,” Mira whispered beside her. “If you don’t ascend now, they’ll choose another. And not one who’s bled for this kingdom.”Elara didn’t look at her. Her eyes were on the crown. And the echo of the vision she’d seen weeks ago — flames, ruin, a shadowed future — danced behind her gaze.“Power without purpose becomes

Chapter: Chapter 141: The Turning Point After the StormThe valley was quiet now.Ash still floated in the air, curling like breath from the dying mouths of the battlefield. The ancient ones had vanished as silently as they’d come, leaving only the echo of their presence—like a scar etched into the bones of the land. And yet, the silence was not peace.It was aftermath.Elara stood amidst the wreckage—her palms open, her eyes unfocused. Blood clung to the edges of her cloak, though none of it was hers. Not this time.Behind her, the remnants of their army moved slowly, tending to the wounded, gathering the fallen. Kael knelt beside a lifeless body, pressing a hand to the chest, eyes closing briefly before moving to the next. Vesper stood still, his gaze distant, jaw clenched in fury held too long beneath the surface.“We won,” Mira said behind her, voice brittle. “Didn’t we?”Elara didn’t answer. Because winning had never felt so much like losing.They had survived. But survival had come at a price—one they hadn’t agreed to pay.The ritual

Chapter: 110:Don’t ask for freedom. Take it.If you kneel, kneel for love—or not at all. That was the last commandment. The one Lilith could never write. But Lydia had gone further. She didn’t just kneel. She made others do it. She didn’t just survive. She rewrote survival. And now, it was time. Not to escape. But to leave a legacy. She stood at the top of the staircase, overlooking the halls that once imprisoned her—barefoot, bruised, dripping in the heat of her final high. Damian lay beneath her somewhere still catching his breath, skin marked by her, mouth stained from the worship she allowed. But Lydia? She had already moved past him. Past the guilt. Past the hunger. Straight into the world she would now claim for herself. In the Red Room—rebuilt, repurposed—she laid out the commandments one by one on the altar of velvet. Not printed. Not digital. Etched by hand. In her ink. In her blood. In her story. Was The TEN SINFUL COMMANDMENTS And then She added the last one. One Lilith never had the stre

Chapter: 109: Say My Name Without Chains in Your MouthThe air in the sealed room pressed in from all sides.Still.Suffocating.As if the space itself knew this moment was sacred. A moment that would split Lydia’s soul wide open—and reveal who she really was when all the fire had cleared.Dr. Marlow blinked slowly, wrists still strapped tight to the chair.Across the room, Damian hadn’t moved.But Lydia had.Not forward.Not backward.Inward.She stood between them now.The girl she’d been? Gone.The weapon she became? Spent.This woman?She was choosing.“You said you were watching me for them,” Lydia murmured, circling Marlow slowly. “But you didn’t stop anything. You didn’t warn me. You let it happen.”Marlow didn’t beg. Didn’t deny it.“I observed,” she said quietly. “Because I wasn’t allowed to interfere. And if I had… you wouldn’t have become what you are.”Lydia paused.Brows lifting.“That’s not an excuse. That’s a confession.”Marlow met her gaze. “It’s a truth. You don’t like it. But it’s why you survived.”Lydia turned then—sl

Chapter: 108: The Door That Watched Her BackThe reel in Lydia’s arms felt heavier with every step.Not because of its weight.But because of what it meant.It wasn’t just evidence.It wasn’t just memory.It was the last thread tying her to Lilith.And she was ready to burn it.She moved deeper into the underground wing—past every hall that once threatened her. Past the velvet. Past the mirrored rooms. Past the ghosts of moans and scars and rules carved in lust.Until she reached it.The final door.Unlike the others, it was white.Unassuming.Ordinary.Except for the keypad beside it—and a small scanner that blinked red.She lifted the reel.Slid the embedded chip from its core and touched it to the scanner.The red light blinked.Then turned green.Click.The door unlatched.“Lydia.”She froze.Damian’s voice.She turned slowly.He stood at the end of the hall, breathless, eyes locked on the reel in her hands.“I was looking for you,” he said, his voice tight.She said nothing.Not yet.His eyes dropped to the door behind her.

Chapter: 107: The Door That Was Never Meant to Open The key was warm in her palm.Not hot. Not glowing. Just… alive. Like it had waited for her skin. Her readiness.Lydia walked alone through the west corridor—silent, stripped down to the simplest version of herself. No robe. No red. No mask. Just the echo of her bare feet, and the heartbeat she no longer hid from.Damian hadn’t followed her.She hadn’t asked him to.Some things, she needed to face alone.The key slid easily into the lock.A door she’d never seen before—because it had never wanted to be seen.It opened with no sound.Just stillness.And a soft whisper of air, as if the room had just exhaled for the first time in years.Inside: darkness.And at the center of it, a small pedestal. A sealed glass case.Inside the case: a reel of film.Old. Fragile. Unmarked.Beside it, a note in Lilith’s handwriting:“For the girl who made it through the fire.”There was only one screen in the room.A projector, already wired.Waiting.Lydia moved without hesitation.Slotted the reel in.

Chapter: 106: The Girl Who Didn’t Die in the FireThe candle had burned low beside them.Its wax curled like a closing eye, as if the room itself had finally stopped watching. The silence wasn’t sacred now.It was final.Lydia shifted slowly, her body aching in that beautiful, soul-deep way—the kind that meant something real had happened. Not just to her body. But to the thing inside it.She lay on her back, staring at the ceiling as Damian traced slow, reverent circles on her stomach.He hadn’t spoken since she told him she didn’t regret the kneeling.But she could feel the words building in him.And when they finally came, they didn’t sound like a man seeking forgiveness.They sounded like a man who wanted to start over.“What happens now?” he asked.Lydia turned to him.“Now,” she said quietly, “we see who we are when no one is watching.”He swallowed.“And if I’m not the man you need me to be?”She reached out and cupped his jaw, her thumb brushing the place he used to hide behind.“You already are.”They didn’t speak for a while

Chapter: 105: Commandments 10:If You Kneel, Kneel for Love—or Not at AllThe house was silent.Not the kind of silence that hides screams or swallows memories.The kind of silence that waits.Lydia moved through the corridor barefoot, skin still glowing from the flames she’d lit—on his body, on her rules, on everything they’d built from obedience and sin.She didn’t tremble anymore.She didn’t second-guess.Not even after what happened in the red room.Not even after what she let herself feel.But that was the danger now, wasn’t it?She had punished. She had reclaimed. She had dominated.And now the question wasn’t what else she could takeIt was: Would she ever give again?The elevator doors opened on a floor she didn’t recognize.No red velvet.No sterile lights.No mirrored walls.Just warmth.And a single flickering candle in the center of the room.Next to it, a chair.And next to the chair—Damian.Kneeling.Head bowed.Unbound.Unshackled.Uncommanded.Waiting.Not because he was ordered.Not because she broke him.But because something in him chose
