The first time I returned to Luca’s mansion after agreeing to marry him, the guards at the gate looked at me like I had suddenly become royalty.

The gate opened before my car even stopped.

One of the guards stepped forward quickly and bowed his head slightly.

“Miss Valenti,” he said respectfully while speaking into his radio. “Mr. De Santis is expecting you.”

Of course he was.

Luca De Santis liked control the same way other people liked breathing.

The car rolled slowly up the long driveway.

  • Engaged to the Devil, Loved by His Shadow    Epilogue

    The sun wasn’t even fully awake yet, but I was. Somehow the baby had decided that dawn was the perfect time to start her day, and I was already halfway awake holding her against my chest.I shifted slightly in the bed, careful not to disturb her. Matteo was still sleeping on the chair beside us, head tilted slightly as if he had fallen into that deep, dreamless sleep only people who had carried the weight of the world could manage. I couldn’t help but watch him for a moment.His brow was relaxed, his jaw soft, and there was no hint of the tension that always seemed to shadow him. I smiled softly. For once, he didn’t look like a man who had to command everything around him to survive. He looked like a father.I shifted again, rocking the baby gently, and she let out a small coo. Her tiny hand found my finger and held on tight. I let out a soft breath.“Good morning, little troublemaker,” I whispered, brushing her fine hair away from her face. She didn’t respond, of course, but the move

  • Engaged to the Devil, Loved by His Shadow    Special POV

    Matteo POVThe house was quiet.Too quiet.I stood by the side of the bed with my arms folded, staring down at both of them like I was guarding something important.Serafina was asleep.Actually asleep.Not pretending. Not resting with one eye open. Not waking up at the smallest sound.Just… sleeping.Her face looked softer like that. Peaceful in a way I was still getting used to seeing.And beside her—My gaze shifted slightly.The baby.Our daughter.She was wrapped up properly, breathing slowly, her tiny chest rising and falling like it was the most normal thing in the world.I exhaled slowly.Everything felt… still.No threats.No noise.No chaos waiting behind a door.Just this room.Just them.Just me standing there like I didn’t know what to do with my hands.I ran a hand through my hair and glanced toward the door for no reason.Then back at them.Then back at the door again.“This is fine,” I muttered under my breath.No one answered.Of course.Serafina shifted slightly in h

    Serafina POVI should have known peace was not going to last.The house had been quiet for days, almost too quiet, like it was holding its breath and waiting for something to go wrong.I had just started getting used to it.That strange kind of calm that didn’t make my chest tight or my ears strain for danger.The kind where you could actually sit down without thinking about who might walk in next with bad news.I shifted slightly on the couch, adjusting the baby in my arms while watching her face scrunch up for a second before relaxing again.“She’s dreaming,” I whispered softly, brushing my thumb lightly over her cheek.Matteo didn’t respond immediately, but I could feel his eyes on us from across the room.“About what?” he asked after a moment, his voice quieter than usual as he stepped closer.I looked up at him, a small smile forming.“Probably about how stressful her parents are,” I said.He gave me a look.“She’s been here for weeks,” he replied. “That’s not enough time to for

    Serafina The house was finally quiet.Not the scary kind of quiet I used to know.Not the kind that made your chest tight and your ears listen too hard.This one felt… soft.I sat on the edge of the bed, gently rocking her in my arms while watching the small rise and fall of her chest. Her tiny fingers were wrapped around mine like I might disappear if she let go.“She’s not going anywhere,” Matteo said from behind me, his voice low as he leaned against the doorframe.I didn’t turn immediately. I just smiled to myself.“I know,” I said softly, adjusting the blanket around the baby. “I just like checking.”I finally looked up at him.He had loosened his shirt, sleeves rolled up, hair slightly messy like he had run his hands through it too many times. For a man who used to control everything, he looked… undone.And strangely, I liked him better this way.“You’ve checked her five times in ten minutes,” he added, raising one eyebrow as he walked closer.“I carried her for months,” I repl

  • Engaged to the Devil, Loved by His Shadow    Chapter 118-Serafina’s POV

    A full year had passed since the chaos ended, since Matteo and I had finally taken back control of our lives. The city had quieted, the empire stabilized, and for the first time, we could breathe without glancing over our shoulders. Today was different. Today the garden was full of laughter, not fear. Our child’s first birthday had arrived, and the small courtyard glowed with sunlight, decorations, and the soft chatter of friends and family who had survived alongside us. For the first time in a long time, everything felt ordinary. Safe. Real. And I couldn’t stop smiling.Alessia hovered near the cake table, hands folded quietly in front of her. She wasn’t loud, wasn’t trying to steal attention but her eyes were full of the kind of soft pride you feel when someone you care about finally gets peace.She crouched down briefly to tickle the baby’s tiny feet, letting out a quiet laugh that blended with the chatter around her. “Look at them,” she whispered to me, “happy, unafraid… finall

    The village was already awake when we stepped outside.People moved up and down the street carrying shopping bags, children ran across the square chasing each other through the snow, and the smell of fresh bread drifted out of a bakery at the corner.Someone laughed loudly near a small café while a dog barked at a passing carriage like it owned the entire street.I stopped at the edge of the road and watched everything like the curious tourist that I am.“Serafina.”Matteo’s voice came from behind me.“Why are you standing in the middle of the street?”I turned slowly while holding the paper bag I had just stolen from the bakery counter.“I didn’t steal it,” I said defensively.Matteo looked at the bag, then at the confused baker behind me.“You grabbed it and ran.”“I was going to pay.”He rubbed his face slowly. “We have billions of dollars.”“Then paying should not be a problem.”I paused at the curb, my coat brushing the soft snow, and Matteo reached for the car door.“After you,”

    You don’t allow Vittorio back into your world by accident.You don’t miscalculate and find him standing inside your perimeter. You don’t wake up one morning and decide nostalgia is worth the risk.You allow him in because you already know where he is before he does.The gate opens without stopping.

    Pain is an inefficient sensation.I learned that early learned to cut around it, to cauterize before it spread. Pain makes men sloppy. Makes them sentimental. Makes them reach when they should wait.And yet—It sat in my chest now, uninvited, unmoving.A dull pressure beneath my sternum, constant e

    We didn’t get caught.That was the lie everyone would believe.The truth was uglier, closer, and far more calculated.The moment Serafina disappeared into Luca’s trap, every contingency Vittorio and I had buried under months of planning snapped into place. The escape had never depended on luck. Luc

    San Verità’s western quarter didn’t announce itself as enemy territory. It hid behind respectability.The car Vittorio stole rolled to a stop beneath the flickering amber lights of Via Calderón, a stretch of old-money apartments pressed between a closed-law firm and a wine distributor that laundere
