The empire that Luca Valtieri inherited did not rise on noise.

It rose on silence, on patience and on moves that no one saw until the results had already taken hold. It was built by Don Pietro Valtieri and one thing he had passed down to them is to have pieces to move that only one knows existed.

And while Dominic gathered strength at Blackstone and Alessandro’s old network began to reawaken, Luca sat at the center of his own machine and began to move the pieces no one else even knew existed.

  • His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride   CHAPTER 206

    The war room didn’t feel the same after the blood had already been spilled.The maps are still there as well as the markings. Names that were written by hand had now carried weight beyond the planning.What happened last night made the names become real.It never did after blood had already been spilled.Dominic stood at the center again.But this time, he felt no anticipation and only the aftermath.Sebastian leaned against the far edge of the table, arms crossed, his expression harder than usual.Enzo is sitting half-perched on a chair, restless, fingers tapping lightly against the wood. Roberto and Antonio stood nearby, both silent but alert.Vincent remained slightly apart, recovering from a knife injury on his arm.Watching.Always watching.Seraphina stood across from Dominic, composed as ever, though her eyes carried something deeper now, something sharpened by what had nearly happened.Her guards were positioned along the edges of the room.Led by Enrico Romano, her oldest and

    The surgical lights dimmed behind her as Althea stepped out of the medical wing hallway.For a moment, she just stood there and breathing calmly.She let the sterile air settle against her skin, washing away the intensity of the procedure, the razor-sharp focus that had consumed her for hours.The patient was stable and alive.A miracle, some would say.But to her, it’s always control, precision and choice.She moved toward the wash area, and washed her hands again slowly, methodically, watching the faint traces of the operation disappear under running water.Tension from the operation being rinsed away.But not all of it because she that beyond the walls of the medical wing, the war still lingered.Althea dried her hands and walked down the hallway.She didn’t return to her room nor didn’t go to where Dominic is.She turned toward another wing.August.The door was half open when she arrived.She didn’t knock as she didn’t need to because the voices inside carried enough.“For the la

    Morning settled into something almost normal.The dining area carried a quiet warmth that felt fragile but real when Althea and Dominic finally went down.Sunlight filtering through tall and partially covered windows, the table set simply, the remnants of tension still lingering beneath the surface of every movement.Nicholas sat between them, safe and alive.He is still unaware of just how close everything had come.Althea watched him more than she ate.The way he spoke and reached for his glass just told her that what happened last night was something he still could not really comprehend.He looked between her and Dominic as if everything was exactly where it should be.“Papa.” Nicholas said suddenly, looking at Dominic. He waited until Dominic looked down at him. “Remember that you said you were going to show me how to build a stronger one?”Dominic glanced at him.“The stronger one?”“The blocks, Papa.” Nicholas clarified. “The one that doesn’t fall.”A faint shift crossed Dominic

    Morning didn’t arrive immediately, creeping slowly with the light filtering through the gaps from the board up windows, touching the edges of the room that carried the quiet aftermath of the night before.The bed was a mess.Sheets twisted and half-drawn, pillows displaced, the fabric marked by the restless, urgent way they had held onto each other. It wasn’t careless.It was evidence of their need and release.Of their survival.Althea stirred first, aware that morning has arrived.Her body felt heavy, limbs slow, the kind of weight that came not from exhaustion alone but from being completely spent in a way that left nothing held back.She shifted slightly and felt him.Dominic was already awake.He’s already sitting up beside her, his back resting against the headboard, one hand dragging slowly through his hair as if grounding himself in the quiet.He looked different in the morning.Not softer.But less guarded.Althea watched him for a moment before speaking.“You didn’t sleep.”

  • His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride   CHAPTER 202

    THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MATURE/SEXUAL CONTENT. PLEASE READ WITH DISCRETION.Dominic carried Althea gently back toward their bed after drying themselves of, never breaking contact, never letting the moment slip into something rushed or careless.Her hands didn’t leave him either.One hand is around his neck while the other is on his cheek as she kissed him passionately.His didn’t leave her.Every movement carried weight, not in urgency but more on intensity.Althea held onto him like she was anchoring herself to his warmth and presence.She wanted to feel the steady certainty of him.“Stay with me.” She whispered.“I’m not going anywhere.” He assured in a tone that makes her believed him.Dominic lowered her on their bed and laid beside her, his lips latched onto her neck. He hungrily nibbled on her soft skin alternating it with kisses.Althea raised her head to him, caressing his face tenderly, looking at him.“I love you, Dominic.” She whispered lovingly.“Not as much as I love you, A

    This chapter contains sexual content. Please read with caution.“I need this, Dom.” She murmured against him.It was not an explanation but more of the truth and Dominic didn’t question it.He understood because he needed it too.Not to escape but to feel some grounding and connection.Proof that they were still here, still choosing each other in the middle of everything that tried to tear them apart.Dominic tears her clothes apart, hearing the ripping of the fabric while Althea pulled his shirt open, the buttons clattering on the floor. He unfastened her bra and pushed down her silk panties, the same way she is pushing down his pants.Althea wrapped her hands around his neck, pressing her naked body to his chest and brought his head down, biting at his lower lip greedily.“F8ck me, Dom.” She whispered intently. “I don’t want slow. I want to feel you.”He lifted her off her feet and she wrapped her legs around him. Her one hand stayed around his neck while the other cupped his face a

    Dominic stared ahead as the corridor grew quieter the farther, he went. Halfway down, he stopped at a section of wall that looked like every other.Stone. Shadow. Memory.He raised his hand and pressed his palm to a specific stone.A soft click answered and the wall shifted inward.The tunnel opene

    After Enzo’s report, the first hour passed in controlled silence.Blackstone never panic but immediately adapted.Opened doors were quietly closed and secured. Rotations of staff shifted by two-minute intervals. The passive cameras started to switch to active tracking, their faint red indicators gl

  • His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride   CHAPTER 113

    The lower security room of Blackstone hummed with a quiet vigilance that never truly slept.Monitors glowed across the walls, each one showing a different angle of the estate. One screen showed the main gate, the tree line, the drive, the outer perimeter where Enzo’s men rotated in silent, discipli

  • His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride   CHAPTER 112

    The Valtieri estate at first hesitated but did not deny entry.The gates opened with the slow inevitability of something that understood consequence. There were no men escorting nor weapons raised.That was Luca’s style.If violence came, it would not be clumsy.Michael Devereaux stepped out of the
