7 Nights With My Step Brother's Rival Chapter 114: Leo's Semester Off
"You're serious about this." Dante studied his son. "Taking time off. Working with the foundation. This isn't just impulse.""I'm completely serious. I've thought about it for weeks. Since you told me about Grandmother's project. About what she wanted to build. I need to be part of this.""But MIT. Your degree. Your future.""Will still be there. One semester. Maybe two. That's all I'm asking. Time to do something meaningful. Something that connects me to family. To legacy. To purpose beyond just career."Sienna touched Dante's arm. "Let him. He's eighteen. Old enough to make this choice. Old enough to understand what he's sacrificing and why it's worth it.""What about Maya? Your relationship? You'll be apart.""We'll manage. Long distance for a few months. We survived it before. We can do it again. And she supports this. Thinks it's incredible I want to help."Dante wanted to argue. To insist Leo stay at MIT. Finish his education. Not interrupt momentum.But looking at his son. The
7 Nights With My Step Brother's Rival Chapter 113: The Secret Project
Dante called Isabella immediately. "The letter. About the secret project. What did my mother tell you? What was she working on?""Can we meet? In person? This isn't something I can explain over the phone."They met at a café. Isabella brought files. Documents. Records carefully preserved for three decades."Your mother was an artist. But she was also pragmatic. Thoughtful. She understood struggle. How hard it is for artists to survive. To create while paying bills. Feeding families. Existing in a world that doesn't value art.""She wanted to help?""More than help. She wanted to change the system. Create opportunities. Support for emerging artists who had talent but no resources. No connections. No way forward."Isabella opened the first file. Plans. Detailed. Comprehensive. A foundation. Structured. Organized. Ready to launch."The Maria Moretti Foundation for Emerging Artists. She designed everything. Mission statement. Grant criteria. Application process. Support structures. Everyt
7 Nights With My Step Brother's Rival Chapter 112: The Mother's Friend
"Isabella," Sienna repeated. "You knew Maria. Were her friend.""Best friend. We met at university. Art program. Both young. Ambitious. Dreaming of careers. Recognition. Impact through our work.""What happened?""Life. Maria met Alessandro. Fell deeply in love. He was magnetic. Powerful. Intense. Everything she'd never experienced. She chose him over art school. Over her dreams. Over everything we'd planned.""Did you resent her for that?""At first. I thought she was throwing away her talent. Her potential. For a man. For conventional life. But watching them together. Seeing how he looked at her. How she glowed. I understood. She'd found something more important than recognition. She'd found love."Isabella moved through the gallery. Touching frames. Remembering."She kept painting. Never stopped. But privately. For herself. For Alessandro. For Dante. Not for galleries or critics. Just for expression. For joy.""Then she got sick.""Cancer. Aggressive. Terminal. She knew early. Mon
7 Nights With My Step Brother's Rival Chapter 111: The Mother's Art
Dante couldn't move. Surrounded by his mother's paintings. By her vision. Her talent. Her soul preserved in color and canvas."I don't remember this," he said quietly. "Her painting. I was so young when she died. Only seven. I remember her smile. Her warmth. Reading to me. But not this. Not her art.""Maybe she kept it private. Personal. Something just for her.""Or maybe my father hid it. After she died. Too painful to see. To display. To be reminded of what he'd lost."Sienna studied the paintings. The technical skill. The emotional depth. The mastery evident in every brushstroke."She was extraordinary. Truly gifted. These aren't amateur work. These are museum quality.""Really?""Yes. The composition. The use of color. The emotion conveyed. Your mother could have been a professional artist. Exhibited internationally. Been recognized.""Why didn't she?""Maybe she chose family instead. Chose to be your mother. Alessandro's wife. Private life over public recognition."Dante touched
7 Nights With My Step Brother's Rival Chapter 110: The Hidden Villa
Back in the Azores. Home. But with new knowledge. New property. New mystery."We need to see it," Dante said. "The villa. Whatever my father left. We need to understand what he intended.""Should we bring the kids?""Not yet. Let's explore first. Make sure it's safe. Assess what needs to be done. Then we can bring the family."They left Gabriel with Marta. The other kids at school. Drove north. Following coordinates. GPS guiding them to remote coastline.The road deteriorated. Paved became gravel. Gravel became dirt. Civilization fading. Wilderness taking over."Are you sure this is right?" Sienna asked. "There's nothing out here.""The coordinates are exact. It should be just ahead."Then. They saw it.Gates. Iron. Ornate. Old but maintained. Locked but not rusted. Someone had been caring for this place. Keeping it protected.Dante had the key. From the safe. Along with the deed. It fit perfectly.The gates opened. Revealing a long driveway. Overgrown but passable. Leading to.The vi
7 Nights With My Step Brother's Rival Chapter 109: The Office Safe
"The day you truly became a man."Dante could not stop thinking about it. What day? What moment? What did Alessandro mean?His eighteenth birthday? MIT graduation? First major business deal? Something else entirely?"There is a problem," Sienna said. "Your father’s old office. It was sold years ago. After his death. When you liquidated assets. You do not have access anymore.""Then I need to get access. Find the current owner. Explain. Convince them to let me search."It took days. Tracking down ownership. Corporate entities. Shell companies. Finally, a name. A contact. A meeting.The current owner was a tech entrepreneur. Young. Wealthy. Sympathetic when Dante explained."Your father’s safe? Still there? That is wild. Yes, absolutely. Come search. I am curious what is in it too."The office was different. Renovated. Modernized. But the bones were the same. Dante remembered. His father sitting behind the desk. Cold. Imposing. Unreachable."The bookshelf," Dante said. "Elena said behin
7 Nights With My Step Brother's Rival Chapter 32 : Race to the Azores
"Where are you?" Dante's voice was ice. Dead calm. The kind of calm that came before violence."The farmhouse. Azores." Elena's voice shook. In the background, Sienna could hear it. Gunfire. Men shouting. Breaking glass. "They came in boats. At least ten men. Maybe more.""Where's Leo?""With me. We

Dante's face went white.Then red.Then something worse. Something cold and empty that made Sienna's blood freeze."Get Leo," he said quietly. Too quietly. "Get him now."Elena was already moving. She disappeared into the bedroom where Leo was napping, emerging seconds later with the sleeping child

"They don't want me back."Dante's voice cut through the smoke-heavy air. He stood in the ruins of his family's garden, staring at the evidence bag containing that elegant, mocking note.Sienna looked up at him. "What do you mean?""The Council. This whole thing." He gestured at the burned villa, h

Sienna's heart stopped. "Dante has a son?""Yes."The word hung in the air like smoke. Heavy. Suffocating.Sienna stared at the little boy running through the garden. At his dark curls bouncing as he chased butterflies. At the way he laughed, pure and innocent, completely unaware that his existenc
