The question gnawed at me like a parasite, burrowing deeper with each passing hour. What the hell had Marianna whispered to her sister in those final moments before I'd torn them apart?

My fingers drummed against the mahogany desk as I replayed the scene in my mind—the way Sophia had leaned in, the urgency in Marianna's voice, that look they'd shared.

There had to be something. Something I could use.

The knock on my office door came at exactly three o'clock. Punctual. Good. I didn't look up from the scattered documents as Sophia entered, her heels clicking against the marble floor with measured steps.

"Spill it," I said, my eyes still scanning the financial reports spread before me. Numbers that suddenly felt meaningless compared to whatever secret these sisters were harboring.

"I'm sorry?"

Now I looked up. Sophia stood there in her tailored navy dress, hands clasped in front of her like some corporate saint. But I could read the tells—the way her pupils dilated slightly, the almost

  • BOUND TO LOVE MY ENEMY   CHAPTER 118 — SPILLED TRUTH

    (SOPHIA'S POV) I watched the van's taillights disappear into the night, my heart hammering against my ribs. Where was Niccolò taking Marianna? The basement of his estate? Some abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city? The possibilities of what he'll do to Marianna churned in my stomach like acid, each scenario more terrifying than the last."Finally," Mother breathed beside me, her voice thick with satisfaction. "This alliance with Niccolò will solve that problem for good."I turned to stare at her, "You could have told me about this sooner—"Her laugh was sharp, brittle, cutting through the night air like breaking glass. "And waste precious time watching you fumble around? Please, Sophia. Your attempts were laughable at best. This way was much more efficient."Before I could say anything, she stepped closer, her manicured fingers gripping my chin with surprising force."What did your sister whisper to you in the study?" Her grip tightened, nails digging into my skin. "And

    (MARIANNA'S POV) His eyes swept over me like a predator assessing its prey, taking in every detail, every potential weakness. I felt exposed, vulnerable, like he could see right through me to the secrets I was now carrying."Niccolò," I managed to say, my voice barely above a whisper. "What are you doing here?"His grin widened, showing teeth that looked too sharp, too white. "Oh, my dear sister-in-law, I think you know exactly why I'm here. We have so much to discuss, you and I. So many things to catch up on."The way he said 'sister-in-law' made my skin crawl. There was no affection in it, no familial warmth, just a cold acknowledgment that meant nothing to him beyond its usefulness.Martha stepped closer, still holding the gun, though she'd lowered it slightly. "I told you I'd deliver her," she said to Niccolò, her voice filled with pride and expectation. "Just like we agreed.""You certainly did," Niccolò replied, not taking his eyes off me. "And you'll be rewarded handsomely fo

    (MARIANNA'S POV)I watched in horror as Sophia's face went pale, her hands splattered on her ears as her eyes were fixed on the gun in her mother's trembling hands.I looked at the tree bark behind us showing the hole made from the gunshot. "Mom, why are you holding that?" Sophia's voice cracked."Sophia, come to me. Now," Martha commanded, her voice eerily calm despite the weapon she wielded."Please, Mom, just drop the gun," Sophia begged, taking cautious steps toward her mother. "We can talk about this.""There's nothing to fix," Martha said, her grip tightening. "Everything is going exactly as planned and I want it to stay that way till the end."When Sophia came within arm's reach, Martha grabbed her roughly and yanked her behind her like a human shield. The gun remained trained on me."Inside. Now," Martha ordered, jerking her head toward the front door.I had no choice but to comply. As we moved through the foyer, I heard Martha speaking into her phone. "I have her. You need

  • BOUND TO LOVE MY ENEMY   CHAPTER 115 — PLAYING THE PERFECT DAUGHTER

    (SOPHIA'S POV) I stared at the lunch tray sitting on my dresser, the remnants of another meal eaten in captivity. The sadness that had been gnawing at my chest all morning suddenly transformed into something much hotter, much more dangerous. I couldn't believe my own mother would do this to me—lock me up like some kind of criminal.My fists clenched at my sides as I grabbed the tray and hurled it toward the window. The crash of breaking glass and clattering dishes echoed through the room, shards scattering across the floor like my shattered hopes.I pounded on the door with both fists, my voice cracking with desperation. "Mom! Please! Just open the door! I promise I won't go against you anymore! I'll do whatever you want!"Silence. This made my heart sink further into my stomach."What am I supposed to do now?" I whispered to myself, kicking at the broken pieces scattered across the floor."If you keep shattering all our good trays," came my mother's voice from the other side of th

  • BOUND TO LOVE MY ENEMY   CHAPTER 114 — WHEN THE TABLES TURN

    (NICCOLÒ'S POV) I sat back in my leather chair, listening as my most trusted loyalists delivered their latest report. The numbers they rattled off about my chances against Vin sounded like music to my ears. I nodded slowly, allowing myself a rare moment of satisfaction as I swirled the whiskey in my glass."The projections look promising, boss," Romano said, adjusting his tie nervously. "Based on current allegiances and resources, you're looking at a seventy-thirty advantage.""Seventy-thirty?" I raised an eyebrow. "I expected better odds than that.""Well, sir, Vin still has considerable support from the others and his financial backing remains... substantial."I took a long sip of my drink, savoring both the burn and the news. "Keep monitoring the situation."I dismissed them with a wave of my hand, watching as they filed out with respectful nods.My hitmen stepped forward next, their faces grim as death. My satisfaction evaporated instantly like smoke in the wind."Well?" I demand
