~Lorenzo~

Present – Marconi Safehouse – 6:00 AM

They think I’m the snake.

They’re wrong.

Snakes wait. They slither. They coil.

I strike.

I don’t sit in shadows because I’m afraid. I sit in them because that’s where power grows quietly, patiently, until it’s too big to ignore.

Alessandro thinks he’s the storm.

Valentina thinks she’s the fire.

But me?

I’m the poison.

The kind that gets into your blood and rewrites your legacy.

7:00 AM – Command Room

"He moved troops to the eastern corridor," Rico muttered, standing over the surveillance feeds.

"Of course he did," I said, sipping black espresso, my eyes locked on a blinking red light on the map. "He wants us to think he’s defending."

"And he’s not?"

I turned slowly.

"Alessandro doesn’t defend. He dismantles. But he’s forgetting one thing."

Rico raised a brow. "And what’s that?"

I smiled, razor sharp. "I taught Valentina everything she knows."

8:30 AM – Training Grounds

I stood in front of twenty soldiers—some loyal, some afraid, all nece

  • A Substitute Bride For The Mafia Boss   The Poison Prince

    AlessandroValentina had that look again defiant, intoxicating, dangerous. She sat on the edge of our bed, robe loosely tied, hair wet from the rain like she’d walked straight through a warzone. Maybe she had."You disobeyed me," I said, low.She looked up, unbothered. "I’m not your soldier.""No, you’re supposed to be my wife."She smirked. "Supposed to be."That was it. I crossed the room in two strides, grabbed her chin between my fingers."I didn’t marry you to watch you light my empire on fire, Valentina. I married you to control it. With you. Not against you.""Then stop trying to tame me like I’m your dog."I didn’t raise my voice. I didn’t have to. My grip tightened slightly."You’re not a dog. You’re a lioness. But even lions answer to kings."She jerked her face away."Then you better start acting like one."Lorenzo"Unleash hell."My voice echoed like gunfire through the chamber. Rico looked at me, uncertain."You mean—""Every asset, every ghost, every whisper we’ve buried

  • A Substitute Bride For The Mafia Boss   The Devil in Me

    AlessandroShe tasted like sin. Like betrayal. Like the last damn sip of bourbon before the building goes up in flames.Valentina.Her name wasn’t a whisper. It was a warning. Every time I said it, I felt like I was invoking something older than war. Something dangerous enough to kill me and maybe worse, make me beg for it.I slammed the door behind me, gun belt hitting the floor. She didn’t flinch. She never did. She just stood there, naked, back to the mirror, scars exposed like war medals. I saw every one. Knew most of them. Inflicted a few.She didn’t hide them.And fuck, I loved her for it."I won’t ask again," I said, voice already hoarse from the storm inside me."Good," she answered. "Because I don’t take orders."I moved. Fast. Violent. She was glass I wanted to shatter and worship all at once.Our mouths collided mine a threat, hers a dare. I pinned her to the mirror, hands on her wrists, hips pressed to hers. But she was never really pinned. She allowed it. For now.Fire co

  • A Substitute Bride For The Mafia Boss   Fire Cannot be Tamed

    ValentinaThe throne room still smelled of him. Of sin. Of war.My legs ached with the memory of Alessandro’s hands, and my lips were still bruised from the way he kissed like he was staking a claim. But I wasn’t property. I wasn’t something to be conquered.I was born to conquer.I leaned back in the black velvet chair, the one his father used to sit in when declaring blood debts. My robe slipped from one shoulder, and I let it. Power wasn’t about modesty. It was about control.The door creaked.He entered.Alessandro. Still shirtless. Still furious. His chest was marred by scratches I’d left, and his gaze locked on me like he wasn’t sure if he wanted to worship me or destroy me."You disobeyed me," he said, voice low, dangerous.I smirked. "I disobeyed everyone. Get in line."He moved fast. One hand on the arm of my throne, the other on my jaw. "You’re mine, Valentina.""Say that again," I whispered. "Slower."His jaw ticked. "Mine."I bit his thumb, not hard enough to bleed. Just e

  • A Substitute Bride For The Mafia Boss   The Knight's Fall

    ~Lorenzo~I knew the moment I saw him walk past the bloodied roses that I’d lost her. Not forever. But enough gut me.Alessandro had that look in his eyes. That death before surrender gleam. And Valentina? She had fire. But this time… she gave it to him.I stood in the shadows, just where she left me, lips still marked by the taste of her, hands still trembling from the feel of her spine arching beneath them. But it meant nothing now.She went to the throne room.To him.To them.Flashback – Three Weeks Ago – De Luca Safehouse, Amalfi CoastShe came in wet from the rain, jacket clinging to her like a second skin. I hadn’t expected her. I hadn’t dared hope."I can’t breathe there," she had said, collapsing into the leather couch.I offered her wine. She drank bourbon.Then she asked me to teach her how to fight. Again. But this time, she wasn’t asking to aim. She wanted to kill."Teach me how to break a man’s neck," she whispered that night, her fingers ghosting over my chest. "In sil

  • A Substitute Bride For The Mafia Boss   His Crown, My Fire

    Valentina!!The kiss still burned on my lips sharp, raw, full of fury.Alessandro didn’t kiss like a man.He kissed like a reckoning.But I didn’t break.Not for him. Not tonight. Not ever again.I stood there after he left, wind whipping through my hair like a battlefield banner.I could still taste the blood. His. Mine. Ours.And then I heard it.Footsteps. Softer than his. Controlled. Calculated.“Should I be worried?” a voice said behind me.I didn’t turn. “Only if you’re here to finish what he started.”Lorenzo.He stepped beside me, hands in his pockets, eyes unreadable.Tall. Dangerous. Beautiful in that quiet, serpent way.“I saw the kiss,” he said.Of course he did.Alessandro always made sure the world saw when he marked his territory.“And?” I asked.“I wanted to kill him,” Lorenzo replied simply. “But then I remembered... you didn’t stop him.”I turned to him now, my voice like glass on stone.“Don’t confuse strategy with surrender, Lorenzo.”He took a step closer. “So you
