The silence in the De Luca estate was deceptive.

Damian stood by the tall window of his study, arms crossed, eyes narrowed as he stared into the night. His reflection in the glass looked like a ghost, haunted, burdened, unrelenting.

It had been hours since the intruder escaped.

His men had scoured the streets, docks, abandoned warehouses, and underground tunnels, but there was no trace. It was as if the man had evaporated into thin air.

It made no sense.

He was injured. He shouldn't have been able to move, let alone escape undetected. Unless… he had help.

The thought dug at him.

A knock at the door broke through his thought. It opened without waiting for a response.

“Don,” Matteo stepped inside, his expression grim. “Still no sign.”

Damian didn’t speak for a moment. He turned slowly, his eyes sharp. “I want all surveillance footage within a ten-mile radius of this estate pulled. I want every known smuggler, rogue medic, black-market peddler, anyone who could have hel

    The night air was cold and heavy. It came sooner than expected. Aria sat silently on the edge of the bed, her fingers clenched tightly around the hem of her shirt. Damian knelt before her, holding her hands gently but firmly. Her eyes searched his, nervous, uncertain, afraid. “I don’t want to lose you,” she whispered. “You won’t,” Damian replied, his voice calm but strong. “I won’t let anything happen to you.” “But… what if it’s a trap? What if they hurt you?” Damian smiled faintly and touched her face. “They won’t get the chance. You’re not going into this alone, Aria. Every step you take tonight, I’ll be watching. My men will be watching. Hidden in the trees, the shadows, the road. You’ll be covered from all sides.” She looked down, her lips trembling. “I still don’t understand why they’re doing this.” “Neither do I,” he murmured. “But I’ll find out. And I’ll make them regret it.” Aria leaned forward and hugged him tightly, burying her face in his shoulder. Damian held her

    Damian’s entire body went still, the name echoing in his ears like a gunshot. The Serpent. He had heard whispers. Myths. Even in the darkest corners of the underworld, people spoke the name in hushed tones, like invoking it might bring a curse upon them. Damian’s voice dropped an octave, cold and sharp. "What exactly have you done to my wife?—" "Relax, Don De Luca," the man interrupted. "Aria’s alive. A bit shaken, yes... but alive. You should be thanking me, really. Without us, she wouldn’t even be interesting enough for you to care this much, would she?" Damian's fingers curled into a fist at his side. "What do you want?" "We want what you value most. And right now, that’s her." The silence that followed was deafening. Damian’s breath was slow, controlled, but his fury burned hot beneath the surface. "Let me guess," he muttered. "You want me to hand her over. And in exchange, she lives. Simple transaction, right?" "Very simple," the Serpent answered. "You bring her to us

    “Where are you going?” The sound of Damian’s voice made Lyla freeze in her tracks. Her hand tightened around the strap of her purse as she slowly turned around to face him. “I—uh…” she stammered, forcing a shaky smile. “My friend... she’s sick. She called me just now. I’m just going to see her.” Damian's eyes narrowed, studying her closely. “Really?” he said casually, but there was steel beneath his tone. “Then why are you sweating so much?” Lyla blinked. Only then did she notice the dampness on her forehead. She quickly wiped it away with the back of her hand. “It’s... it’s hot outside,” she muttered. “The weather’s been terrible today.” Damian didn’t reply for a moment. His gaze lingered on her for just a little too long, as if memorizing her face, then he nodded. “Alright. Be careful.” He turned and walked away, his footsteps echoing down the hallway. Lyla let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding. Her knees almost buckled. That was close. Too close. She waited u

    Lyla’s lips parted, her voice shaky. “W–What are you talking about, Marco? How dare you accuse me of something like that?” Marco’s eyes didn’t waver. “You better not be involved in it.” “In what?” she snapped, but her voice trembled. “In whatever this is,” he said coldly, stepping closer. “This thing, this Serpent’s Order, 0whatever it is, it’s not normal. And if I find out you had even the slightest connection to the people who harmed Aria…” He leaned in, voice low and dangerous. “…you can’t imagine what I’ll do to you.” Lyla’s expression shifted. Anger flared beneath her fear. “Are you threatening me now?” Marco gave her a humorless smile. “I’m not threatening you, Lyla. I’m warning you.” He took a step back. “You’re my cousin. Don’t make me forget that.” With that, Marco turned and walked away, his footsteps echoing down the hall. Lyla stood frozen for a moment, her pulse pounding. Then she hurried to her room, slamming the door shut behind her. She sank onto her bed, h

    Lyla blinked at him, stunned. “What?” Marco didn’t move. His eyes stayed on hers, unmoving. “You heard me.” For a moment, she just stared, confused, disbelieving. “Marco… what are you even saying right now? Why would you—how could you even think that?” “I’m asking,” Marco said, stepping into the room and quietly shutting the door behind him. “Because something about all of this doesn’t make sense.” Lyla straightened, her voice rising. “You think I did something to her?” “I don’t know,” he said flatly. “That’s why I’m asking.” She let out a shaky laugh, the kind people make when they’re trying not to cry. “That’s ridiculous. I was terrified when she started screaming. I didn’t even know what was happening—none of us did!” Marco’s gaze didn’t soften. “You were terrified, yes. But you were also the only one who didn’t move. You just stood there. Frozen. You looked… different.” “I was in shock, Marco!” she snapped. “What was I supposed to do? Jump in and wrestle her down w
