Chapter 8

Luca

"He’s in the east wing again."

I didn’t look up from the monitor. Adrien—half dressed, barefoot, and eating an apple like he owned the place. Again.

Reckless little shit.

The feed crackled slightly as the camera tracked him. He lingered near the armory door, eyes flitting to the guard stationed there. I watched the way he grinned at the man, all teeth and bait. The guard looked away. Smart.

I wasn’t sure if Adrien did it because he was fearless, or because he didn’t know any bett

    CHAPTER 120 LUCA I don’t call him. I tell myself it’s because I’m giving him space. That’s a lie. The truth is, I don’t know what the hell I’d even say. “Boss, you good?” Damon’s voice cuts through the room as he stands by the door, wary like I might explode any second. I grunt, downing another glass of whiskey. “Do I look good?” He hesitates. “No.” “Then there’s your answer.” I pour another drink, my hand barely steady. The amber liquid sloshes over the rim and stains the table. I don’t wipe it. Damon shifts. “You’ve been at this for three days straight.” “And?” I snap, finally looking up at him. My eyes burn. My head pounds. “Do I need your permission to drink in my own house now?” “No,” he says slowly. “But I do think you need someone to knock sense into you.” “Then go get Matteo,” I mutter bitterly. “That’s usually his job.” “He already tried,” Damon says quietly. “You punched him.” I laugh—harsh, humorless. “He deserved it.” “For what? Telling you the truth?” Damo

    CHAPTER 119 ADRIEN He didn’t come back. Not that night. Not the next morning. Not at all. It shouldn’t bother me. I keep repeating that like a prayer. It shouldn’t bother me. It shouldn’t bother me. But every time I walk past the hallway that leads to his wing and see the door shut, silent, untouched, something twists inside my chest. I sit on the couch, elbows resting on my knees, staring at nothing. The clock ticks too loudly. The house is too quiet. I bite the inside of my cheek until I taste blood. “He used you. Again.” The thought slides in easily, cruel and familiar. Because it’s true. What else did I expect? For him to stay? For him to talk? For him to explain why he kissed me like it meant something and then vanished like it didn’t? I laugh under my breath. It’s not funny. It sounds broken. I throw myself into work. Surveillance. Weapons checks. Planning routes. Overseeing raids. My body moves through the motions like it’s programmed to, but my mind is somewhere

    CHAPTER 118 LUCA 3 days later “You’re telling me Damian hit our shipment?” I growled, slamming my fist into the table hard enough to make glasses jump. Matteo didn’t even flinch. “Yeah. Last night. One of our ports near Naples. They blew up two containers and hijacked the third.” “Do we have footage?” I demanded. Damon leaned against the wall, arms crossed. “Nothing clear. But the men on the ground heard Russian accents. And Damian’s guys were seen in the area earlier.” My blood ran hot. I pushed back from the table so hard the chair toppled. “I’m done playing games with that bastard.” “Luca,” Matteo warned. “You need to think—” “I’ve done enough thinking,” I snapped. “I’m taking soldiers. Tonight.” Damon muttered, “Here we go again,” under his breath. I shot him a glare. “Gear up. Both of you. If Damian wants war, he’s going to choke on it.” We hit Damian’s compound just before dawn. The gates didn’t stand a chance against the explosives. My men moved like shadows, flood

    CHAPTER 117 LUCA I caught up to him in the alley behind the club. The rain hadn’t stopped. It came down in sheets, soaking both of us as if the sky was trying to wash away the mess we’d made inside. Adrien was already halfway to his car when I grabbed his arm and yanked him back. He spun around, eyes blazing. “What the hell do you want?” “You,” I growled. “To talk.” “There’s nothing to talk about.” “Bullshit.” My fingers tightened on his arm. “Two weeks, Adrien. Two goddamn weeks of you pretending I don’t exist, and now you’re out here letting some random piece of trash put his hands on you—” He jerked free, voice cutting like glass. “Because it’s none of your business, Luca!” “The hell it isn’t!” I stepped closer. “You think I can just stand there and watch that?” “Yes!” he shot back. “Because that’s what normal people do when it’s not their business! You don’t own me, Luca. You don’t get to beat people half to death just because you’re jealous.” “Jealous?” I laughed bitte

    CHAPTER 116 ADRIEN I should’ve known the day wouldn’t end quietly. Amara walked into my office without knocking, hips swaying like she owned the place. She stopped right in front of my desk, crossed her arms, and studied me with sharp eyes. “You’ve been clenching your jaw for the past hour,” she said. I didn’t even look up from the document I was signing. “It’s nothing.” “That’s exactly what people say before they snap and stab someone with a pen,” she replied dryly. “What happened?” “Nothing,” I repeated, voice flat. She raised a brow, clearly not buying it. “Right. And I’m a nun. Adrien, your vibe is screaming murder. What gives?” I sighed through my nose. “It’s been a long day. Board meeting. A threat or two. The usual.” “Uh-huh.” She tilted her head. “You need to unwind. Badly.” “I don’t have time to—” “Shut up.

    CHAPTER 115ADRIENThat night, the nightmares came again.I should’ve known they would.Every time something cracks open in the day, something darker slips through at night. And tonight, Luca’s face… the way his voice broke… it was enough to rip the lid off everything I’d been nailing shut for months.I fell asleep around 3 a.m., slumped on the couch in my penthouse office because my bed felt too exposed. I didn’t expect to dream. I rarely did anymore. But when I did, it was always the same.Dark. Damp. A smell like rust and sweat and something rotting.My breath hitched the moment I realized where I was.The room.The one with concrete walls and no windows. The locked door. The faint drip of water that used to drive me insane. My body went cold even though it was just a dream.And then I heard it.Whip.The sound cut through the silence like a gunshot.“No,” I whispered. My ow
