Ever since I walked out and left her alone, she hasn’t called.

Not once.

No message, no argument, no “where are you?”

Nothing.

I let out a dry scoff.

What did I expect? That she would miss me?

She’s just a gold digger. That’s what I tell myself, over and over. A woman who slipped into my life wearing innocence like armor, pretending to care, pretending to be someone she isn’t. Pretending to be…Maria.

I spin slowly in my leather chair, the wheels scraping against the marble floor.

My chest tigh

  • Entangled in his sheet   Vincenzo pov

    The villa was too quiet tonight.Not the peaceful kind of quiet that settles over a house like a blanket.The kind that waits — tense, expectant, like the air before a storm breaks and drowns everything in its path.I stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in the west wing, glass of red wine in one hand, phone in the other. The city lights sprawled below the hill, glittering like scattered diamonds, indifferent to the games men like me played in the dark.She hadn’t come.The gates had closed at midnight — exactly as I’d told her they would.And still no sign of her.No sweep of headlights cutting through the drive.No soft knock at the door, tentative and defiant all at once.No whisper of silk against marble as she stepped inside, eyes blazing with that fire I had always loved to tame.I took a slow sip of the wine — deep crimson, rich with notes of black cherries and something sharper, like blood on the tongue.She was late and I hated lateness.It shows disrespect and weakness, I ha

  • Entangled in his sheet   Julian POV

    She stood there in the moonlight, barefoot on the wet grass, her black silk dress clinging to her like a second skin, and for one heartbeat I forgot how to breathe.The sight of her, climbing down the trellis like a thief in the night, her coat half-fallen, her hair wild from the wind, it should have made me angry.But it didn’t, it made me want her more, dangerously more.I knew she’d try the window. I’d left it as the only path she might take because I needed to see it for myself: how far she would go to reach him. How deep his hold still ran. How much of her still belonged to Vincenzo instead of me.And now she was here — caught, trembling, eyes widened with shock and fury and something softer I couldn’t name.I took one step closer, close enough for her to feel my heat, she didn’t back away, but she didn’t come closer either.“You knew,” she whispered. “You left the window open on purpose.”“Yes, I did.”The word hung between us was very simple but sounded unapologetic.Her chest

  • Entangled in his sheet   Catrina's POV

    The ground was cold under my bare feet, grass wet from night dew, but I barely felt it.All I could feel was the man standing in front of me — back turned, shoulders broad and unmoving, like a wall that had appeared out of nowhere to block my path.My heart slammed so hard against my ribs I thought it might crack them.I took one step back, instinctive, and silently but the trellis behind me creaked, betraying the movement.He turned, slowly and deliberately and the moonlight caught his face.My breath stopped, fear crawled through my veins.Julian?He didn’t speak at first.His gaze stared at me deeply, his eyes were circled dark, unreadable, sweeping from my bare feet up the black silk dress that now felt like a confession instead of armour. The coat had slipped off one shoulder during the climb; I hadn’t noticed until now.His gaze lingered there for long on my exposed skin, on the curve of my collarbone, the way the fabric clung to every line of my body, before rising to meet my

  • Entangled in his sheet   Catrina's POV

    The bedroom felt smaller than it had an hour ago — walls pressing in, shadows lengthening across the floor like fingers reaching for me. I paced from the bed to the window and back, my bare feet silent on the thick carpet. Carlos’s face still lingered in my mind: the calculated kneel, the cracked voice, the flicker of greed when he mentioned the shares. Forgiveness had bought me time, nothing more. And Julian’s quiet promise in the hallway — We will talk about this later — echoed like a countdown I couldn’t silence.I stopped at the window, staring out at the estate grounds. The city lights glittered in the distance, mocking me with their freedom. My hand drifted to my stomach again, pressing gently. The baby was still tonight — no flutters, no reminders — as if even they had sensed the storm building.My phone vibrated on the nightstand.I froze.No one called me this late.No one except…I crossed the room in three steps and picked it up. The screen glowed with a blocked number.I

    Important Update: Hi everyone! I realized I accidentally skipped a section in the upload sequence. To ensure you don't miss a beat of the story, I have inserted the missing Chapter 95 here. Please read this before moving on to the Carlos POV chapter 96 which you see as chapter 95 now. Thank you for sticking with me!I knew I shouldn’t have come back here.Not tonight, not after everything that had happened, but obsession doesn’t ask permission.It claws at your ribs until you can’t breathe, drags you by the throat to the one place that’s slowly killing you, and whispers in your ear: Just one more time. Just look. Just see.The De la Fonte mansion rose ahead of me like a dark monument — cold stone, tall windows glowing faintly, gates already sliding open as if the house itself had been waiting. I had walked these grounds as a child, run through these gardens laughing, and believed stupidly that one day this place would feel like home.Now it felt like enemy territory.My hands tightene

  • Entangled in his sheet   Julian POV

    I watched her disappear down the hallway in her own house — the house that had once belonged to Maria, that still carried her scent in the walls and her shadow in every room — until the guest bedroom door closed with that quiet and deliberate click.Then I stood there still.The house was silent except for the faint hum of the air conditioning and the distant tick of the grandfather clock in the foyer. No hospital bustle. No nurses. No strangers passing by. Just us. Just this place that felt too big and too small at the same time.My entire focus stayed locked on that closed door, on the woman behind it who had just looked me in the eye and fed me the softest, most careful lie I had ever heard.Very scared and stupid. That’s all.And I had let her walk away with it.Because pressing harder right now, in the middle of the night, in the house where she felt safest — would have broken something we could not afford to lose.Our child.My child.The truth still sat heavy in my chest, even
