CHAPTER 47

LUCA

I had just sat down sighing.

The light blinked.

I leaned back in my chair, eyes narrowing on the monitor.

Adrien’s room. But there it was again—faint, red, like a pulse on the far side of the window.

A laser.

"No, no, no..." I was on my feet before the words finished leaving my mouth. I yanked the earpiece out and sprinted down the hallway. My heart pounded in my ears like war drums.

He was sitting on the bed, reading, oblivious.

"Adrien!”

We hit the floor with a brutal thud. My arms locked tight around his body as the glass behind us exploded in a rain of death. I rolled over him, shielding his head with my chest. A second shot cracked through the room—splintered wood, plaster dust. His scream was choked. My heart stopped.

“Stay with me,” I growled, voice shaking. “Adrien, fuck—talk to me!”

He was gasping, his whole body trembling. Shards of glass sparkled in his hair. I reached up, fingers trembling, checking for blood—his head, his chest, his legs.

“Luca…” he wheeze

    CHAPTER 51ADRIEN I didn’t cry anymore.I didn’t feel anything.I turned my face away.“Adrien,” he said softly.I didn’t answer. What was I supposed to say? That I was fine? That I was losing my mind?He stepped closer. His shoes stopped in front of me. “I need to clean those cuts. Can I help?”I shrugged.That was permission enough, apparently. He crouched, took my wrist gently. His fingers were warm. Steady. He worked silently, cleaning me up, wiping away blood with a wet cloth. Every swipe should have stung. I didn’t feel a thing.He touched the shallow one on my shoulder. “This needs a bandage.”“Whatever,” I muttered.He didn’t push. Just helped me to my feet slowly, led me out of the bathroom like I was a ghost. He sat me on the edge of the bed, left briefly, and came back with a small kit. I watched him clean me up like I wasn’t even in my own body.“You should change,” he said. “You’ll feel better.”I didn’t move.Luca sighed, went to the wardrobe, and pulled out one of his

    CHAPTER 50ADRIEN I sat in the corridor. Cold floor. Bloody shirt. Hands trembling, but not from the cold.I could still hear him screaming. That sniper. His voice echoing in my ears even though he was probably unconscious by now. Or dead.Didn’t matter.Luca’s footsteps faded down the hall. They had taken me out of the basement. I didn’t fight it. I didn’t say anything. I let them drag me out like I wasn’t there at all.Because I wasn’t.Not really.My fingers were still stained red. Not shaking now. Just... numb.“Adrien?”I looked up. Luca.His face was tight, unreadable. Beside him stood Matteo, equally tense.Luca stepped forward. “Hey.”I blinked. “I stabbed him.”“I know.”“In both eyes,” I said slowly. “He kept talking. He wouldn't stop talking. So I made him stop.”Matteo looked like he wanted to say something but didn’t.Luca crouched in front of me. “You were scared. You reacted.”“He said my father has another son.”Luca’s jaw tensed. Matteo cursed under his breath.That

    CHAPTER 49LUCA“He’s laughing?” I said lowly, my voice barely above a whisper.Matteo nodded once. “We had to gag him. You’ll want to see this for yourself.”I didn’t wait. I stormed into the basement where we kept him—middle-aged, smug, with dried blood on his mouth and a rope bite on his wrists. The sniper. The bastard who aimed at Adrien’s head.I dismissed the guards. I needed to be alone with him.The sniper's mouth twisted into a grin when he saw me. I didn’t speak, just stared, letting the silence stretch.Then I ripped the gag off.“You should’ve let me finish the job,” he croaked. “Would’ve saved your precious pet from the suffering coming his way.”I didn’t blink. “You talk a lot for a man with broken fingers.”He chuckled—a rasping, ugly sound. “You think hurting Adrien gets you anything? That boy was discarded a long time ago. Your little revenge project is a joke.”“What the fuck are you talking about?”He spat on the floor. “Adrien’s father doesn’t care. He has a real h

    CHAPTER 48ADRIENThere was ringing in my ears.Low. Persistent. Like a high-pitched scream buried somewhere in my skull. I blinked into the dim light, squinting at the ceiling above me. The room was unfamiliar.No—it wasn’t.It was Luca’s.I exhaled slowly. My chest hurt. My ribs ached. My mouth was dry. But everything else was… still.No movement. No voices. Just the tight ache in my throat and the vague throb in my side.Where was everyone?I sat up, slowly. Regret slammed through me. My head spun and I had to bite down on my tongue to stay upright. I blinked the dizziness away, rubbed my palm over my face.He wasn’t here.Of course he wasn’t.No one was.I glanced around the room again. The sheets smelled like him. Something I’d pretended not to like.I slid my legs off the bed and stared at the floor. Everything was silent. Peaceful, even.Weird.I should’ve been relieved. Should’ve thanked God or fate or whatever kept my ass from being splattered all over the carpet. But all I

    CHAPTER 46LUCAI was halfway through reviewing a shipment manifest when Matteo’s knock came—too sharp, too fast."What?" I barked.The door opened, and Matteo didn’t waste time. "Warehouse. East dock. Blew up fifteen minutes ago."I was on my feet. "Anyone dead?""Three guards. One delivery guy. Two missing. Fire department’s already on it. Police are blaming faulty wiring.""And you don’t buy it."He tossed something on my desk—a black card. Clean. Matte. In the center, a raised gold emblem.Adrien’s father’s insignia.My jaw locked. "Where was this?""Left on the damn loading table. Right under a blown camera. Like a calling card."Fuck.I didn’t wait. I stormed through the hall, past Damon, who blinked at me. "Where’s Adrien?""Upstairs. Garden balcony. Reading some finance report.""Perfect."I found him lounging like a damn prince, legs crossed, a glass of orange juice on the table beside him."Enjoying the view?" I snapped.He looked up. Smiled. "Until you ruined it. What is it
