Chapter 252:Blood on the Stairs

Elena’s POV

The sirens grew louder outside. Not close enough yet. Not nearly close enough. The handle on the steel door stopped rattling for a second. Then it started again. Harder. Anya banged her fist against it. The sound boomed inside the small room like thunder trapped in a box.

“Elena!” she shouted. “I know you’re in there. I can hear the baby crying. Open up or I start putting holes in this door. See how long it takes before one finds your granddaughter.”

    Chapter 283:Heat of the AfternoonElena’s POVThe afternoon sun poured through the half-closed shutters like warm honey, turning the bedroom into a golden haze. I lay on the cool sheets in nothing but one of Valerio’s old white shirts, unbuttoned and slipping off one shoulder. The baby had been restless all morning, kicking softly, and my skin felt too tight, too sensitive, every brush of fabric making me ache in ways that had nothing to do with pregnancy and everything to do with the man who owned me body and soul.Valerio had come back from Catania early, dusty and quiet, but the second he saw me stretched out on the bed his eyes went dark. He kicked the door shut behind him, locked it with a soft click, and crossed the room in three long strides.“You look like sin,” he murmured, voice low and rough as he peeled off his shirt. The sight of his chest—hard muscle, old scars, that trail of dark hair leading down—made my thighs press together on instinct.I didn’t answer with words. Ju

    Chapter 282Quiet Days and Small StormsThe weeks started blending together in that soft way summer does on the island. Mornings came early with birds arguing in the lemon trees and the smell of fresh coffee drifting up from the kitchen. I’d wake up before everyone else most days, hand resting on the growing curve of my belly, feeling the baby do lazy flips like it already knew it belonged to this wild place.Luca had settled into a rhythm nobody forced on him. He ran with the men in the mornings, came back sweat-soaked and quieter than before. Afternoons he sat with Valerio going over ledgers and phone calls, learning how power actually moves when guns aren’t talking. Evenings he played with Livia in the garden, letting her boss him around like she was the queen of everything. She made him wear flower crowns one day. He kept it on until dinner.I watched it all from a distance at first, still careful, still waiting for the other shoe to drop. But the shoe never came.One sticky after

    Chapter 282:The Road to CataniaElena’s POVThe morning air felt heavier than usual, like the island knew something was shifting again. I stood at the bedroom window watching Valerio and Luca load up the SUV. Two more cars waited behind them, men checking weapons and tires like it was just another Tuesday. But nothing felt ordinary anymore. Not with Luca wearing that lion ring on his finger, not with my belly starting to push against my shirts, and definitely not with Valerio trusting someone with Matteo’s blood enough to take him on a real run.Valerio caught me watching and gave me that half-smile he saves for when he’s trying to look tough but can’t quite hide how much he loves me. He jogged back up the steps, boots loud on the stone.“You should rest today,” he said, sliding his arms around my waist from behind. His hands settled over the small curve where our baby was growing. “No stress. Eat something good. Let the nanny handle Livia if she gets wild.”I leaned back into him, br

    Elena’s POVThe courtyard smelled of sun-warmed stone and gun oil. Dawn light slanted across the training ground where Marco had set up targets—old tires stacked, wooden dummies painted with rough faces. Luca stood in the middle wearing a plain black t-shirt and cargo pants, sweat already darkening the fabric at his back. He held a Glock in both hands, stance wide, breathing controlled.Marco circled him slow. “Again. Faster draw. No telegraphing.”Luca nodded once. Holstered the pistol. Waited for the signal.Marco clapped once.Luca moved—clean, quick. Pistol cleared leather, sights aligned, three shots in under two seconds. Center mass on the dummy. The echoes cracked across the hills.Marco grunted. “Better. Still slow on the second target.”Luca lowered the gun. Wiped sweat from his brow with his forearm. The stitches were gone now; only a faint pink line remained. He glanced toward the terrace where I watched from the railing, coffee in hand.I gave a small nod. He dipped his he

    Chapter 279: Shadows in the GardenElena’s POVThe garden smelled of wet earth and night-blooming jasmine after the rain finally broke. Livia had fallen asleep hours ago, her small body curled under the quilt with the stuffed wolf tucked against her chest. I stood on the terrace overlooking the sloping lawns, arms wrapped around myself against the chill that had nothing to do with the wind.Luca was down there now, sitting on the low stone wall that separated the olive grove from the lawn. Alone. No guards within twenty feet—he had earned that much tonight. His bandaged arm rested in his lap. He stared at the dark sea like it owed him answers.Valerio came up behind me silent as always. His heat wrapped around me before his arms did. Chin on my shoulder. Breath warm against my ear.“He’s still breathing,” he said quietly. “That’s more than I expected to give him.”I leaned back into his chest. “He bled for us. Took a blade meant for your men. That counts.”“Counts,” Valerio repeated.
