**Elena’s POV**

My eyes snapped open, and for a second, I felt disoriented.

The sheets were tangled and warm around my legs, unlike my usual bed. I took a deep breath, and the strange scent of jasmine and vanilla filled the air, tempting me to close my eyes once more. I looked at the ceiling, the walls, and the furniture, searching for anything familiar, but everything was new to me.

And then it hit me, all at once — I was in Stefano’s house.

Everything from last night flooded into my head, one

  • His Bride Of Revenge   Chapter 173: The End

    **Elena’s POV**The house was finally quiet. The joyful chaos of the afternoon had settled into a comfortable, peaceful hum. Everyone had gone home—Elario, Claudia, and the teenagers, Marco and his wife. Even the staff had finished their work and retreated to their own quarters. It was just Stefano and me, finally alone in the master bedroom.He decided that he never wanted us to have separate rooms again. He told me he needed to always feel my warmth and hear my breathing while he slept. I didn't mind. I wanted to be near him just as much.I stood in the middle of the large room, taking it all in. The lights were dim, and the aroma of sandalwood and Stefano’s soap filled the air. It was a masculine space, but now it felt like it belonged to both of us.Stefano stood near the window, gazing out at the dark gardens where the moon reflected off the fountain. He was still dressed in the formal white shirt and black pants he had worn for the party. I watched him from behind, admiring how

  • His Bride Of Revenge   Chapter 172: Homecoming

    **Elena’s POV**I was finally leaving the hospital. As soon as the doctor removed the last tube from my chest and said I was cleared to go, I felt like a bird finally being released from a cage. Stefano was everywhere, moving around the room and packing my bags with a focus I had never seen before. He folded my clothes perfectly and double-checked my medicine bottles. He made sure I had my shawl, my books, and everything else. It was like he was preparing for a long journey instead of just a drive home. It was almost funny to watch."Stefano, I'm perfectly capable of walking to the car," I couldn't help but laugh as he hovered over me, hands out as if he expected me to trip."You are not walking," he replied. His voice was firm and left no room for argument, but his eyes were filled with that familiar worry. "The doctor said you need to rest until you are fully recovered. That means you don't use your legs more than you have to. So I'm carrying you."He didn't wait for me to speak ag

  • His Bride Of Revenge   Chapter 171: A Different Kind of Peace

    **Stefano’s POV**For three weeks, the hospital room had been our entire world. The doctors told me Elena was ready to go home after the first ten days, but I refused to believe them. I couldn't take any chances with her life, not again. I paid for the best suite in the building and hired a round-the-clock guard in the hallway. I needed to be absolutely sure she was fully healed before she stepped back into the outside world.I sat in a chair by her bed, focused on a small bowl of fruit. "The discharge papers are already signed, Stefano," Elena said, watching me carefully peel the skin off a green grape with a small knife. "The doctor said I am perfectly fine now. The baby is healthy and growing. My chest barely even hurts anymore when I move."I didn't look up at her. I focused on the fruit to make sure every bit of skin was gone so it would be easy for her to eat. "One more night won't hurt anyone," I said, my voice firm. "We go home tomorrow morning. Not a minute sooner."She let o

  • His Bride Of Revenge   Chapter 170: Blood and Forgiveness

    **Stefano’s POV**The curtains in my study were drawn tight to block out every bit of the sun. I sat in complete darkness, surrounded by the smell of old paper. I could still smell the faint scent of Elena’s perfume on a shawl she had left behind on the chair. It made my chest ache. I had a bottle of whiskey on the desk, half-empty, but the burning liquid did nothing to help me forget.The alcohol couldn't wash away the memory of what happened in this house days ago. I still saw Armando’s head snap back when my bullet hit him. I still saw the red hole in his forehead. Most of all, I couldn't stop seeing Elena’s white face as she fell to the floor.I felt like a curse.Everyone I touched ended up hurt or dead. My mother had run away. My father was murdered on a cold street. Martina was gone forever because of me. And now, I had almost killed the only woman who made my heart beat.My phone vibrated on the desk, loud in the quiet room. I ignored it. It vibrated again, and then again. On

  • His Bride Of Revenge   Chapter 169: The Ghost of a Choice

    **Elena’s POV**The first thing I felt was the weight. It wasn't just a feeling; it was a physical force pressing down on me. It felt like a heavy bag of rocks was sitting right in the center of my chest, pinning me to the bed. I tried to take a deep breath, but a sharp, biting pain stopped me halfway. I heard a slow, beeping sound nearby and forced my eyes open, but everything was a sea of blurry shapes. The room's light was too bright. It stung my eyes until I had to squint and turn my head."She's awake," a voice said.His voice was soft, thick with relief. I blinked several times, trying to clear the fog from my eyes. The blurry shape next to my bed slowly resolved into Elario. He was leaning forward, his shoulders hunched, gripping the metal guardrail of my hospital bed. His eyes were red and swollen, his face covered in dark stubble. I had never seen my brother look so old and tired.I tried to say his name. I wanted to ask him what happened, but my throat was too dry. It felt

  • His Bride Of Revenge   Chapter 168: The Price of My Sins

    **Stefano’s POV**The tires of the car screamed against the asphalt as Luca pushed the car to its highest limit. I sat in the back seat, cradling Elena against my chest. Her blood was everywhere. It was on my shirt, staining my hands, and pooling in the creases of my leather seats. It was warm, and every time I felt a new pulse of it leave her body, I felt a sharp pain in my own chest. It felt like a part of me was dying along with her."Faster, Luca! Faster!" I roared. My voice broke, and I didn't even care."I’m doing a hundred in a residential zone, Boss! We’re almost there! Just a few more blocks!" Luca shouted back. His eyes kept darting between the road and the rearview mirror. He looked scared, and Luca had never been scared.I looked down at Elena. Her face was white, her breathing shallow. It was a terrifying, wet sound that made me want to scream. I pressed my hand firmly against the wound in the center of her chest. I tried to stop the flow of blood, but it kept coming. It
