LOGIN"Your punishment. Shall we?," Matteo asked, this time moving towards me. He stepped closer and ripped open my half-buttoned shirt. "If other men can have you," he added quietly, "Why can't I?" I froze. "You—" "You have two choices," Matteo said, undoing his cufflinks and pushing me back toward the bed. “Choose wisely.” "One: take your pants off. Let me see what you used on my brother." "Two: I call Alessandro and have him come watch what I do to you." "You're insane," I snapped. "Does your brother know you're a fucking pervert?" "He doesn't need to," Matteo said, his hand settling on my belt. "He only needs to know you betrayed him." He said as my buckle clicked open. "And now, La mia bambola ( My Doll).” Matteo continued softly, "You're about to learn what consequences really mean."

View MoreLuca Mariani POVThe dialysis ward smells like antiseptic and I hate this smell. I've hated it for two years and I hate it the same amount every single time.My mother is in the third bed from the window. She looks smaller than last week. She always looks smaller than last week. Her eyes find me the moment I push through the door and something in her face lifts."You came.""I said I would."I pull the chair close and sit. Her hand is cool when I take it. The machine beside her hums steady and indifferent, doing the work her kidneys stopped doing."You look tired," she says."I'm fine.""Luca.""I'm fine, Mama."She looks at me with squinteed by steady eyes. I look back at her and keep my face easy because that's what I do in this room. I keep it easy and I stay an hour and I don't let her see the number I'm about to hand over at the billing desk.Sofia is in the corner chair with her phone. Twenty two years old, dark hair like mine, earphones in. She pulls one out when she notices me
Chapter 27Matteo's POV"Abruzzi's men got to ours. One of our men is down."Alessandro's voice landed in the dining room like something physical. I watched my mother's face shift from authority to calculation in the space of one breath and she turned to me with her hands still folded. "Go handle it.” She let out a sigh but I was already moving."The location," I said to Alessandro, shrugging my jacket straight as Dominic appeared from the doorway reading the room the way good men learn to read rooms."San Raffaele." Alessandro replied. Upclose his adam apple moved with unease. That was all I needed to guess the foul play. I stopped in the motion of staightening my suit and our eyes locked. "I called Marco earlier tonight. I asked him to put men at the hospital." He tried to hold my gaze but kept failing at it. I stopped walking and turned around slowly."You asked Marco." My voice came out at that frequency that empties rooms. "To put my men at a hospital. You gave instructions to
"He fucked my fiancé." Eric’s scream ripped the silence while he struggled with the chair.Alessandro's face turned pale, his gaze now fixated on luca. His voice came out loud and Eric had to pause for a moment. "You fucked his fiancé."Luca's hand was still outstretched across the table and Alessandro was looking at it like it belonged to someone he didn't recognise anymore. I watched my brother step back from it slowly, the way you step back from something hot before your brain has fully registered the burn.I stayed where I was. Cigar between my fingers, smoke curling upward into the chandelier light. I had orchestrated this room and everything in it and I was not going to be the one who looked away first."That was before we met," Luca said. His voice was steady. Infuriatingly steady. "My life before you is not something I owe you an apology for.""Fuck that." Alessandro's voice cracked on it. Not from weakness but from something genuine splitting open. "Fuck that Luca because you
Matteo’s Pov.“Mother,” I call following her into the inner chambers of her room. She pauses briefly by the mirror drawing a wipe from the container. She goes on to wipe her hands without turning back. I slip my hands into the pocket of my trousers, patiently waiting for her attention. She turns around peering straight into my face. “Anything?”“Mot—” I pause briefly to register her expression. Her eyes were already wrinkled by the corner.“Matteo? Anything?” I revert my gaze from her face to her black lace dress. Elegant. I don’t talk immediately, instead i gather my inner self together. “I want to take on from here. You did well out there but I’m worried about you.”She turns back to the mirror wiping her hands the second time. A little controlled sniff escaping. “I’m doing well. You don’t need to worry.”“I’m in a better position to do this—”“Your brothers fiance threw his scandal, why didn’t you do anything about that? Why are you obviously trying to make this worse than it is

Luca Mariani POV"Oh God," I stammered, my face heating."That's not— I mean, you have every right to be upset, and I... I couldn't help being attracted to you, okay? But this isn't right.
