The next day unfolded like a quiet aftermath of a storm. Daisy felt it first in the way Vincenzo's gaze avoided hers, as if she were a ghost. That morning she went into his office to deliver the final reports from the recent hotel tour.

“Here are the files you asked for, sir.” She announced, her voice was calm.

He didn't even acknowledge her presence. His head remained bent over the papers spread before him. He didn’t look up from his desk, didn’t offer a customary thank you, didn’t even spare her a fleeting glance. It was as if she were invisible.

“That will be all,” he said flatly.

And just like that, the invisible wall between them grew taller.

Daisy walked out slowly, the door shutting softly behind her, but the sound of it echoed in her chest like a slam.

It didn’t take long for the whispers to start.

Whispers began to trail behind her wherever she went. The mocking glances now lingered, transforming into giggles as she passed by. It wasn't just the awkward silence anymore… it wa

    “Talk?” he scoffed. His eyes, or rather, his one visible eye, finally met hers, and in them, she saw a profound fear. “I don’t need more trouble, Daisy. I don’t need him showing up again.”That last sentence, those few words, made it click. A horrifying realization dawned on Daisy. Vincenzo’s sudden coldness, the brutal accusations… it all made sense.Daisy’s blood went cold.“You mean Vincenzo… did this to you?” Her voice was barely a whisper.Marco didn’t answer. He didn’t have to. The way his jaw set, the fear in his eyes, they were all the confirmation she needed.She stared at him, suddenly ashamed, a crushing guilt that she was somehow responsible for his suffering. And beneath the shame, she felt a sudden anger at Vincenzo’s cruelty. “I’m so sorry, Marco. I swear I never meant for any of this…” she stammered, her voice filled with genuine remorse.“Go home,” Marco said softly, he wasn’t angry, he just looked completely drained. “I don’t want any more trouble.”And with that, wi

    The next evening, Vincenzo and Daisy sat in the back seat of his car. They were en route to the site of his newly commissioned hotel. The building was a magnificent display of modern architecture… tall, elegant, all clean lines of gleaming glass and polished steel.As they arrived at the construction site, a man in a crisp suit walked up briskly. He handed Vincenzo a folder. Vincenzo took it, his long fingers flipping it open with ease, his eyes quickly skimming its contents. A moment later, he shut it with an angry snap.His jaw tightened, a clear sign of displeasure.“What is it?” Daisy asked. “Bad numbers? Trouble with a supplier?”“It’s nothing,” he said flatly.She blinked, surprised by the abrupt dismissal. “Are you sure? I could help. If it’s about the hotel, I’ve been keeping tabs on…”“I said it’s nothing.” His voice cut clean and cold.Then he walked back to his car with Daisy following behind, he opened the door for her. Get in,” he instructed, his voice low and firm. He th

    The week that followed Daisy’s request for time off unfolded like a suffocating storm. Every single waking moment of Daisy's existence seemed to be mercilessly swallowed whole by the insatiable demands of her work. Meetings piled upon meetings, each one more urgent than the last, and errands, no matter how trivial, were tossed her way by Vincenzo Marino. It was as if her simple, entirely reasonable request for a brief reprieve had triggered some deeply hidden switch within him.“Mr. Marino,” she finally dared one morning, her voice cautious, nearly drowned out by the rustle of files as she organized his schedule, “about the reunion I mentioned last week…”Vincenzo didn’t even bother to look up. His pen scratched against the pristine white paper. He was absorbed, utterly oblivious to the quiet plea in her voice, or perhaps, simply indifferent.She waited. Every second felt like an eternity, her heart thudding nervously against her ribs. She watched the movements of his hand as he conti

    Later that day, Vincenzo stood before Antonio's door. It opened with a soft creak, revealing Sophia, Antonio’s fiancée, clad in a silken robe, her surprise evident.“Oh,” she said, lips twitching into a smile. “Don Marino. What a surprise.”Vincenzo said nothing. He did not engage in pleasantries, nor did he acknowledge her presence.“Would you like to come in?” she asked, stepping aside.“This is my house, you don’t get to invite me into a house I bought with my money.” He said and walked past her. Her eyes rolled the moment his back was turned.“I’ll get Antonio,” she said dryly, going upstairs.Antonio came down moments later, looking genuinely surprised by his father’s unexpected arrival.“Dad?” His voice held a note of confusion.Vincenzo turned slowly to face him. “You’re busy, I see.” He said sarcastically.Antonio glanced toward the hallway. “Just having a quiet evening with my fiancée. Want a drink?”“No.” Vincenzo’s reply was blunt.Antonio’s brow twitched. “Alright…”Vince

    Vincenzo sat motionless behind his massive desk, his fingers interlocked in a steeple beneath his chin. His eyes were fixed on Marco as he stepped into the room. The soft closing of the door echoed in the quiet space.“Boss.” Marco greeted him.Vincenzo’s gaze didn’t waver. “Sit.” He ordered.Marco, without hesitation, complied.“Talk.” Vincenzo commanded.Marco’s shoulders shifted slightly. He cleared his throat, his gaze meeting Vincenzo’s with a steady resolve. “I’ve just returned from the port,” Marco began, his voice even and controlled. “The Russians have agreed to a meeting. Leonid, personally.”Vincenzo raised an eyebrow. “He’s finally decided to grow a spine?”Marco allowed himself a half-smile. “Apparently, he received your message.” The implication was clear: the Don’s previous actions had been effective, leaving their intended mark.Vincenzo’s expression, however, remained unbothered. He was a man who rarely showed emotion, a master of self-control.Marco cleared his throa
