Bound by blood and lies CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY EIGHT
Eli's povTrust was a fragile thing.In this house, it had shattered.We were all walking on broken glass.The morning after Silas vanished, Luca stood before a map of the estate with red pins jabbed into every vulnerable corner. Emilio barked commands into the phone. Matteo paced like a man already choking someone in his head. Dario stood by the window, arms crossed, gaze sharp and judging.As always.“Silas didn’t pull this off alone,” Emilio said. “He had help. Someone inside. And I want that rat crawling on their stomach in chains by nightfall.”“We’ve already checked the guards,” Matteo said, rubbing his forehead. “None of them had access codes to the lower wing besides the one stationed there and we all know that the code changes by the minute.”“Then we’re looking at someone higher up,” Luca muttered, pinning a note to the map. “Someone with rank. With reach.”That made the room go quiet.Even Dario stiffened.I stood in the corner, silent, watching them turn on each other with

Eli's povThe blast was so powerful that it destroyed the decades of concrete reinforcement with steel of the dungeon like itw as mere paler.My body hit the wall hard, shoulder firstthen the floor. All the air left my lungs as dust and heat choked me, ears ringing so loud I thought I’d gone deaf.“LUCA!” I screamed into the void. “LUCA—!”No answer.Just the groan of crumbling walls and the metallic screech of twisted bars.I forced myself up, every limb aching, vision blurred by smoke and blood.Where Silas had been, the wall was now split clean down the middle, like a mouth opening to swallow the house from within. The cell was empty.He was gone.No chains. No blood trail. Nothing but empty metal cuffs hanging uselessly.“Matteo—!” My voice cracked as I stumbled forward. “Luca—!”Then I saw them.Matteo was half-buried beneath a collapsed beam, blood trailing from his temple, but breathing barely. I dropped to my knees, pushing debris off him with shaking hands. “Hey—hey, stay wi

Eli's povI didn’t sleep.Not even for a second.Every creak in the corridor, every gust of wind brushing past the tall, arched windows, it all sounded like a voice I couldn’t understand. Like something was stirring beneath the surface, waiting to unravel.At dawn, I slipped out of bed and headed down the east wing. The halls were quieter than usual, too quiet, given everything that had happened. No shouts. No movement. Just silence… thick and suspicious.When I reached the lower levels, the air shifted.Cold. Damp. Heavy with the scent of stone and rust.The dungeon guards tensed when they saw me.“I want to see him,” I said.The taller one, dark-haired with a Rossi crest tattooed on his neck, gave a slow shake of his head. “Emilio said no visitors. Orders.”“I’m not a visitor,” I snapped. “I live here. I’m in a relationship with his son.”He flinched.Then stepped aside.They opened the cell door.I stepped inside, bracing myself.Silas sat on the bench, wrists chained to the wall b

Eli's povThe way he said it was like he was calm, amused and it made my blood run cold.Silas stood like he’d been waiting. Like he knew I’d come this way. The garden light reflected off the edge of his knife and the blade glinted dangerously.I swallowed.I didn’t move.“You shouldn’t be here,” I said, my voice hused and raspy.He tilted his head. “Oh, Eli. I’m exactly where I should be. You, though?” His eyes narrowed. “You’re the one who’s lost.”“You broke into this house. Planted bombs. You tried to kill—”“I tried to remind you,” he cut in. “Of who you are. Of what they did to our family. And who you should be standing with.”My fists clenched. “What they did to our family? What you did,this revenge obsession, it’s not justice, Silas. It’s poisoning you. You’re burning everything down.”His laugh was bitter, hollow. “You’ve been breathing their air too long. You’ve forgotten what they did to us. How our mother died screaming while Luca’s father put a bullet in her spine.”I swa

Eli's pov“Bomb!”That was all I managed before everything became chaos.Chairs screeched. Shouts rose I grabbed Luca’s arm and yanked hard, pulling him down with me just as a deafening blast ripped through the far side of the dining room.The window shattered into flame. A wave of heat surged, washing over us. I tasted blood, smoke, and dust all at once as I hit the ground, half on top of Luca. My ears rang so loud the world went silent.The chandelier above us groaned.Don’t fall. Don’t fall. Don’t—It crashed down.Luca rolled us aside and I felt the whoosh of it missing us by inches. Matteo was across the room, still over Giorgio’s bloody body, shielding it with his own like muscle memory took over even if he hated the man’s guts.Glass. Screams. The thick stench of burning wood and cloth.I pushed myself up, blinking through the smoke. The fire was spreading fast along the curtains and tablecloths. Somewhere behind us, one of the guards was yelling into a walkie-talkie.“Secure t

Eli's pov He stared at me like I was a riddle that didn’t deserve solving.Luca’s father.Don Emilio Rossi.The head iof the family. The man who disappeared from the public eye years ago, handing the reins to Luca and Matteo after a lifetime of leading with iron fists and loaded guns. I’d seen pictures. But up close… he was something else.His face was ageless in that eerie, dangerous way some old men were. Sharp lines, silver hair, but eyes that had never softened. The kind of eyes that could watch a man burn and still check the time.“So,” he said again, taking one step closer. “You’re the boy we didn’t finish.”My spine stiffened. I didn’t answer. My throat was tight, words locked in my throat refusing to come out.He smirked like he could hear my silence loud and clear. “You’ve got the Moretti eyes. I should’ve known. Your brother hides like a coward behind guns and mercenaries, but you—” he tilted his head, “—you walk into my house wearing my son’s loyalty like a suit.”I clench
