Adrian’s POV

The Mancini estate came into view and I drove in.

We entered through the front doors, our footsteps echoing. The silence between us had stretched taut during the drive, filled with unspoken questions and the weight of everything that had just happened. Without a word, I headed straight for my room.

But immediately I entered I felt Nikolai’s grip on my arm and I turned to him.

“If you want to chicken out, you still have time to, you could just stay forever as Isabelle’s husband.”

He had brought the idea of taking over the Moretti’s estate, and now he was talking about dropping that whole idea?

I struggled to free my hand from his grip but I wasn’t successful, “let go of me.”

He stared into my eyes and then muttered, “Why don’t you stand properly first?”

Only then did I realize that if he hadn't held me back, I would have hit my foot against the flower pot that was left in front of the door as soon as I walked in.

“Thanks.”

He walked away instantly and didn’t question m

    Derek’s screams echoed in my mind like a heavy shroud. The Moretti family would abandon me now. It was inevitable. Leonardo was expecting his legitimate son with Vivian, and worse now, Derek have gotten hurt cause of me. They round never investigate to know what happened and even if they did, I’m the illegitimate one.Gabriel twisted around in front of the mansion, his weathered face creased with worry. “Did Derek do all that damage to you?” His eyes catalogued the visible bruises on my face and neck, the careful way I held my left side where my ribs ached.“Yes,” I said simply. “You need to rest,” Gabriel muttered in a low voice. “Come inside. Liliana’s been worried sick since we got word.”Before I could respond, Nikolai’s hand closed around mine, “Adrian’s coming with me to complete his treatment,” he said, his tone brooking no argument.Gabriel’s eyebrows rose, but he didn’t challenge Nikolai directly. As if summoned by our conversation, Liliana rushed out, her elegant figure

    I pulled away from the kiss reluctantly, Gabriel’s urgent voice still echoing from the phone speaker. Adrian’s face had gone pale, and I could see the fear creeping into his eyes as the implications of Francisco’s presence settled over him like a shroud.“I’m going to the Mancini estate to handle Francisco,” I said, already moving to get dressed. The tender intimacy of moments before evaporated, replaced by the cold calculation that kept me alive in this business.“I’m coming with you.” Adrian’s voice was steady, but I could hear the underlying tension.I paused in pulling on my shirt, studying his face. “You’re injured. You should rest.”“This involves me. I’m not hiding here while you face my family alone.” There was steel in his voice that reminded me why I’d been drawn to him in the first place. Adrian Moretti might be caught between two worlds, but he wasn’t a coward.The drive to the Mancini estate felt longer than usual, tension thick between us in the backseat of the armored s

    # The Moretti Legacy - Chapter ContinuationThe metallic taste of blood filled my mouth as I struggled to focus through the haze of pain. Derek’s terrified face swam in and out of my vision, his eyes wide with the kind of fear that comes from staring down the barrel of a gun. Nikolai stood behind him, his weapon steady, his finger already tightening on the trigger.“Don’t.” The word tore from my throat, barely audible but carrying all the desperation I could muster.Nikolai’s cold blue eyes flicked toward me for just a moment, his expression unchanged. The gun remained trained on Derek’s forehead, unwavering. I could see the calculation in his face, the same methodical precision he brought to everything. Derek was a problem. Problems got eliminated.“Nikolai.” I put more force behind his name this time, though it cost me. A fresh gush of blood spilled from my lips, warm and copper-bright, staining the concrete floor beneath me.This time, something in my voice broke through his focus.

    Adrian’s Pov The tension in the courtyard was suffocating, every pair of eyes fixed on Armano as he considered Leonardo's proposal. The silence stretched until it felt like a physical weight pressing down on my shoulders. Finally, Armano's weathered face broke into what might have been called a smile, though it held no warmth."Interesting," he said, his voice carrying across the assembled family with the authority of a man accustomed to absolute obedience. "Very interesting indeed."He rose from his throne-like chair, moving towards me"Adrian has been given a privilege," he announced, his words carrying the weight of a royal decree. "Our grandfather would be proud to see what becomes of this family now that I'm free." His dark eyes found mine across the distance. "If Adrian becomes vice president of the Moretti Group, he will be positioned to become head of this family."A collective intake of breath rippled through the assembled crowd. I felt my heart hammering against my ribs, th

    Adrian’s Pov"No." The word left my mouth before I could stop it, cutting through Leonardo's demand like a blade through silk.Leonardo's face contorted with disbelief, then rage. "What did you just say?""I said no." I straightened my shoulders, meeting his wild stare without flinching. "I won't kill Nikolai. Find another way to handle your family politics."The silence that followed was deafening. Leonardo's chest rose and fell rapidly, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides. When he finally spoke, his voice was deadly quiet. "Peter."Peter appeared instantly, as if he'd been waiting just outside the door. "Yes, sir?""Take Adrian to the attic. Lock him in. And confiscate his phone."As Peter's firm grip closed around my arm, Leonardo stepped closer, his breath hot against my face. "I warned you not to complete that mega town project, Adrian. But you did it anyway, didn't you? Now the Moretti family will face losses while the Mancini family enjoys their success." His eyes
