Enemies At The Altar Chapter 145
The monastery was their destination.But Mia refused to move blindly."If Moretti expects us to rush the mountains," she said in the war room, "then he'll leave something behind to slow us down."Valentina looked up from a stack of reports."Black Harbor."Marco frowned."The warehouse?"Valentina nodded."Moretti's men have been moving supplies through it for the past three nights. Weapons. Fuel. Medical equipment."Luca leaned back in his chair."So that's his lifeline."Mia looked at the map."If we destroy it, he'll lose more than supplies."She tapped the warehouse."He'll lose time."An hour later, three black SUVs rolled silently toward the industrial docks.Rain had finally stopped.The sea was calm.Too calm.Black Harbor stood at the end of Pier Nine, surrounded by rusted shipping containers.Armed guards patrolled the perimeter.Spotlights swept across the water.Marco studied the area through binoculars."Twenty... maybe twenty-five guards."Luca smiled."I've had worse od

The rescued soldiers were escorted back to the Romano estate under heavy guard.Every servant was questioned.Every security badge was checked.No one complained.After Mark's capture, everyone understood that trust had become a luxury.Mia stood alone in the war room, studying the map of the northern mountains.The note Moretti had left replayed in her mind.One spy found. Two more still remain.He wanted her looking in every direction.He wanted her exhausted.He wanted her to make a mistake.She had no intention of giving him one.A soft knock interrupted her thoughts.Valentina entered."Someone is asking to see you."Mia looked up."Who?"Valentina hesitated."I think... you'll want to decide for yourself."Ten minutes later, Mia stepped into one of the mansion's smaller reception rooms.A woman stood by the window with her back turned.Elegant.Composed.As if she had never left.She slowly turned around.Isabella."You've got some nerve coming here."Mia said calmly.Isabella g

Miles away, Mia stood before a wall-sized map inside the Romano war room.She didn't know Mark was already looking for a way out.She only knew one thing.Every minute mattered.Marco entered carrying fresh intelligence."We found one of Moretti's safe houses."He placed several photographs on the table."Three of our men are being held there."Luca frowned."They're using our people as bait."Valentina nodded."If those men know anything about Mark's movements, we can't leave them there."Mia studied the photographs.The building was small.An abandoned textile factory on the outskirts of the city.Too exposed to be Mark's prison.But valuable enough to protect."They're not holding Mark there."She said.Marco looked surprised."You agree?""They want us to believe he's inside."She pointed to the building."This is a distraction.""So we ignore it?"One of the captains asked.Mia shook her head."No."She looked around the room."We rescue our people."The captain folded his arms.

That thought alone was enough to make him smile.The guard noticed."You think this is funny?"Mark leaned back against the cold stone wall."I think you're making a mistake."The guard scoffed."You're the one in chains."Mark glanced at the heavy steel shackles around his wrists."For now."The iron door creaked open.Every guard inside the cell immediately straightened.Alessandro Moretti walked in without a weapon.Without bodyguards.Without fear.He carried two glasses and a bottle of expensive whiskey.He set them on a small wooden table."Sit."Mark didn't move.Moretti smiled."I suppose that was optimistic."He poured himself a drink anyway."You've caused me a great deal of trouble."Mark remained silent."And yet..."Moretti took a slow sip."...I've admired you for years."That finally earned him a look."I've studied every battle you've fought.""Every deal you've negotiated.""Every family you've crushed."He smiled."You're exactly the kind of man I wanted to meet.""Y
Enemies At The Altar Chapter 141
Before sunrise, the Romano war room was alive with activity. Maps covered the walls. Red pins marked enemy territory. Phones rang without pause. Men came and went carrying reports. This time, however, all eyes drifted toward one person. Mia. Not because she was Mark's wife. Because she was leading. Mark's bloodstained watch lay on the table before her. She had cleaned the glass but left the dried blood untouched. It wasn't a reminder of fear. It was a reminder of why she couldn't fail. Marco entered carrying a file. "We found where Enzo's car was abandoned." He spread photographs across the table. "The bridge... the tire tracks... and these." Several pictures showed faint boot prints leading into the woods before disappearing. Luca frowned. "They vanished?" Marco shook his head. "They switched vehicles." Valentina placed another folder beside it. "I've compared the tracks with surveillance from nearby toll roads." She pointed to three bl

The words still echoed through the Romano mansion.No one questioned Mia.No one tried to comfort her.The bloodstained watch rested in her hand, its cracked face reflecting the chandelier above.Mark had worn it every day since she gave it to him.Now it was all she had.For now.The war room filled within minutes.Captains, advisors, and security chiefs took their places around the long table.Don Romano sat at the head.His expression was unreadable.Luca stood beside the map board.Marco carried the latest reports.Valentina spread photographs and intelligence files across the table.Every eye turned toward Mia as she walked in.She didn't look broken.She looked focused.Don Romano spoke first."We wait."The room remained silent."We gather intelligence. We identify where they're holding Mark. Then we strike."Mia slowly looked at him."No."The single word cut through the room.The Don's eyes narrowed."No?""We've already waited."She placed Mark's watch on the table."They to
Enemies At The Altar Chapter 2 – Shattered Love
Mia’s hands shook as she gripped her phone. She stared at Ethan’s name blinking on the screen, her chest tight with dread.She had no choice. She had to tell him.“Ethan…” she whispered, her voice trembling.The line clicked alive. “Mia?” His tone was light, warm, the sound of safety she had clung
Enemies At The Altar Chapter 1 – The Announcement
The sound of her father’s boots clicking across the marble floor sent a shiver down Mia Romano’s spine. She had learned long ago that those boots carried more than authority—they carried the weight of life or death. And now, as she waited in the study, her stomach churned with the sense that this v
Enemies At The Altar Ch. 26 – The Dinner of Pretenses
The Romano dining hall was built to intimidate—long marble floors, chandeliers like frozen storms hanging overhead, and a massive table carved from centuries-old oak. Fifty chairs lined each side, each one ready for another powerful ally, another dangerous enemy dressed as a guest.Tonight, the tab
Enemies At The Altar Chapter 6 – The Warning
The Romano estate was quiet again that night, but Mia could feel the weight of the world pressing down on her chest. The corridors, normally elegant and orderly, felt like a labyrinth designed to trap her. Every polished surface reflected her conflicted expression, every flickering candle seemed to
