Arlari's POV

Something is wrong, I know it the second that single word escapes his mouth, even though he tried to mask it.

I’ve learned the difference between Severiano’s calm and his restraint.

I freeze, just watching him. Matteo wriggles in his arms, tugging at his sleeve, completely unaware of the shift in the room. Luca, next to him, babbles and reaches for a pillow, unbothered. I hold my breath, because I know, I know something is wrong, or has happened.

Severiano’s hand tightens around Ma

    Irene's POVThe house felt different the next day.It was far from quiet, yet full and peaceful, in a way that made every one relaxed.Severiano had discharged most of his men, he now works with very few of them, who were hardly seen around.I opened my eyes slowly, staring at the ceiling for a second before everything came back to me.The house, the night, Danny.I turned my head slightly, and saw him leaning back on the single couch next to the bed, sleeping.I can't believe he slept in this position all night, guarding me, like I would disappear again.For a moment, I didn’t move.I just watched him, his face looked calmer than I remembered. Less tense, like something inside him had settled, even if it wasn’t fully at peace yet.Then his eyes opened and he saw me.“You’re still here,” he said quietly, adjusting on the couch.I pushed myself up slowly, and sat on the edge of the bed. “Why? Are you disappointed?”A faint smile touched his lips.“Not even close.”I pushed myself up sl

    Irene's POVFor a second… I forgot how to breathe.Danny’s lips were still on mine, warm, steady, and real. We had been together secretly for three months before I went away, and this was the second time we kissed like this, but it still felt…overwhelming.My hands hovered over his chest, not touching him, not pushing him away either. I didn’t know what to do with them, I didn’t know what to do with him. Or with myself.Then I remembered where I was, and who was watching.Julia.I pulled back first.Not roughly, but just enough to break the kiss, just enough to allow me think.My chest rose and fell slowly, but I kept my face calm, even though everything inside me was not.“That doesn’t fix anything,” I said quietly.Danny didn’t step away.“I’m not trying to fix it,” he replied. “I’m trying to start again.”Start again? Like it was that simple, like a year didn’t happen, like I didn’t walk in and see him with someone else.I stared at Danny, wondering if I had the right to feel hur

    Irene's POVI didn’t know where I was going, I just kept walking.Past the hallway, past doors I've never walked through. Severiano might have gotten a new house, but it still felt the same, yet fuller, louder,My chest still felt tight, not from weakness, not from fear.But from him, from what I saw, from what I felt.I pushed a door open and stepped into a small and quiet sitting room.I exhaled slowly, pressing my palm against my chest like I could steady the storm brewing inside me.Just then, I heard footsteps.A pause.Then more footsteps.Arlari. Danny. Severiano.And… her.I turned this time.They were all there.Watching me.Waiting.“Talk,” Raphael said.Straight.Sharp.Uncompromising.I leaned back slightly against the arm of the chair.“You’ve always been patient,” I said dryly.“Not with you,” he replied.That almost made me smile.Almost.I folded my arms.“Fine,” I said. “You want the truth? I’ll give it to you.”The room stilled.Even the air felt like it stopped movi

    Irene's POVI did not expect it to hurt.Not after everything, not after the blood, the silence, the months of learning how to breathe again without help, how to move without pain, how to survive without depending on anyone.I thought I had hardened enough, I thought I had buried every weakness.But the moment I stepped into that house, the moment I saw him, something inside me shifted.The room was loud with chaos, too loud.Toys scattered across the floor, cushions pushed out of place, something broken near the table. The twins were everywhere, crawling, laughing, knocking things over like they owned the space.Of course they did. Life.That was the first thing that hit me, life had moved on without me. And then I saw him.Danny.He was sitting too close to her, closer than he should be, closer than I ever imagined he would allow himself be with another girl.Her hand rested lightly on his shoulder, like this was something she did all the time, and she looked comfortable. Too comfo

    Danny's POVI never thought I would feel this… divided.When Irene died, something inside me didn’t just break, it went quiet. Like a part of me shut down and refused to come back.I didn’t scream, I didn’t rage.I just carried it every day, every breathI carried the memory of her, the way she moved, the way she spoke.m, and the way she looked at me.I felt so much pain, not just losing her, but losing myself too.I glance down at my arm, at the empty space where my hand used to be.Alejandro took it from me without batting an eye, like I meant nothing, like I wasn't his brother.I survived, somehow.But surviving doesn’t mean you remain the same, it jjust means you’re still breathing.“Danny”Arlari’s voice pulls me back.I turn toward her, leaning against the doorway. She’s holding one twin while the other is trying to crawl off the bed like he has no sense of danger.“Come and carry your nephews before they break their heads,” she says, tired but amused.I let out a small breath,

    Severiano's POVThe phone call still echoed in my head long after it ended.I don’t show fear, not in my world, not in front of anyone. But this… this was something else. Not fear exactly, but uncertainty. And uncertainty is far more dangerous.I adjusted my cufflinks slowly, my reflection in the mirror was steady, and unreadable. Behind me, Matteo and Luca were doing exactly what they did best, turning order into chaos.Arlari glanced over at them, then back at me, hoping to get any information she could from me, but I was careful not to give anything away.“You’re leaving?” she asked.“Yes," I replied simply.I picked up my jacket, her eyes narrowed slightly, but I stepped out before she could say anything else.***The drive was silent, but my mind was loud with too many thoughts, some were imaginations, and most was calculation. “Irene is alive.”The words replayed again, and again in my head, but it didn’t make sense. Not yet.But it would, I was really hoping it does.I arriv

    Arlari’s POVWhen I closed the door behind me, my knees almost gave out.I leaned against the wood, pressing my palm to my chest like it might slow my heart. It didn’t. My body was still reacting, still buzzing where his hands had been, where his voice had wrapped around me and tightened without ev

    Arlari's POVI pressed myself harder against the car, trying to make myself disappear. Smoke still curled from the street, the air thick with dust, gunpowder, and the metallic tang of blood. My ears rang, my stomach churned, and my hands trembled. I couldn’t stop shaking.The shadowy figure from th

    Severiano’s POVWhen the door closed behind her, the room felt louder.Not because of any sound. But because of absence.I stood where I was, facing the dresser, hands resting flat on the wood. I did not move right away. Moving too fast after restraint always leaves marks. Invisible ones. I preferr

    Arlari’s POVI followed him deeper into the mansion, my steps quiet but my heart loud.Severiano walked ahead of me, posture straight, movements controlled. If he was affected by whatever had been slipped into his drink, he did not show it openly. But I noticed the small things. The way he paused f
