*Lorenzo*

The line went dead.

I stared at the dark screen of my phone, jaw tight, a curse breaking past my lips.

“Matteo…” I hissed,my knuckles white as I tightened my grip. “You stupid, ungrateful bastard.”

I leaned back in the driver’s seat of my car, leather creaking under my weight, the hum of the engine filling the silence Matteo had left behind. Betrayal burned in my chest, hotter than the whisky I usually reached for at times like this.

I had given Matteo everything,trust, loyalty, a seat close to my throne. And Matteo had dared to betray me. He was greedy! My eldest brother warned him,but I was too blind to see it,he's gonna pay for that.

The thought repeated like a drumbeat in my skull. He was supposed to be my brother. My shadow. My right hand. And he chose to spit on it.

Another curse tore out of me as I shoved the car door open. The night air hit me, cool against my heated skin, and I straightened my jacket with a violent tug. I stepped out, the gravel crunching ben

  • His Queen,Their War   Chapter Thirty One

    Alessia's POV The sound of the bell rang, snapping me out of my thoughts. Finally! School is over!I exhaled a long breath and packed up my sketchbook, slipping it carefully into my bag. The day had stretched on forever, my nerves tied up since that strange run-in earlier. Every time I blinked, I could still see him,tall, sleeves rolled, tattoos curling over his skin like shadows that had memorized his body.I shook my head hard. Stop it, Vittoria.The name still felt strange on my tongue, like wearing shoes that didn’t fit but pretending they did.I stepped out of the building, the golden hue of evening spilling over the courtyard. The moment I spotted Matteo’s car at the gate, relief washed through me. He leaned casually against the hood, arms crossed, dark hair slightly messy, eyes scanning the crowd until they landed on me.“Hey, you survived another day,” he teased as I approached.I rolled my eyes. “Barely.”He opened the car door for me with that quiet protectiveness that alwa

  • His Queen,Their War   Chapter Thirty

    Salvatore's POV I hadn’t been outside in weeks. Maybe months. The walls of my penthouse had become my cage ever since I and Alessia disconnected.Every morning felt the same. Cold coffee. Empty room. Another plan to leave this mess that alcohol got me into…But today… Today felt different.The sun was out, not that I cared much for it. I didn’t believe in perfect days,not anymore. Still, something about this one made me step out. Maybe it was instinct. Maybe it was madness.Either way, I found myself standing before the gates of the university, surrounded by the noise of youth. It was filled with laughter, chatter and that restless energy of people who hadn’t yet learned what loss feels like.My men were scattered around, keeping their distance but close enough to act if I gave a sign. I told them not to draw attention. We were here to find someone, not scare a city.It’s been years since I last saw her and yet, the memory of her had refused to fade. It clung to me like the smoke from

    I stood up slowly, brushing bits of grass from my clothes and trying to steady my breathing. My heart still hammered like it hadn’t gotten the message that the danger was over. I looked around quickly, no more men in black suits, no more deadly glares, just the open field, the wind, and my very obvious panic.I turned to the glass window nearby and groaned out loud the second I caught my reflection. “Brava, genius,” I muttered, pushing a loose strand of blonde behind my ear. “You literally changed your entire look and forgot about it.”The girl staring back at me didn’t even look like Alessia De Santis anymore. She looked sharper, fiercer. The straight blonde hair with bangs, the ink trailing softly along her skin, even the glint in her eyes, that wasn’t the old me. So why on earth was I acting like her? Why did I run?I sighed while I shook my head, and decided to move before my luck ran out. I walked toward another part of the field. It was quieter and emptier then I quickly pulled

    My senses went completely blur as he turned to face me and I drank him in like I’d been starved.The sunlight caught against his rolled-up sleeves, the muscles beneath his tanned skin flexing slightly as he moved. Tattoos peeked from under his cuffs and they traced the length of his forearms. His white shirt was unbuttoned at the top, just two undone buttons… enough for me to see the faint lines of his chest.And God help me, he looked sinful.My breath hitched. My thoughts tangled. The pain from the fall was gone,all I could feel was his presence.His gaze slid down, slow and steady, until it landed on me. For a heartbeat, the world stood still.The man chasing me suddenly came into view behind me, panting, his steps slowing as he saw who stood before him. The moment his eyes landed on the man I’d bumped into, his face drained of color.He didn’t move at first. He just stood there, silent and calm, the kind of calm that made your blood run cold. One of Salvatore's hands slid lazily

    Days passed, and school had started to settle into a rhythm. Surprisingly, everything was going smoothly…smoother than I’d expected, actually. My classmates were… polite enough, some even trying to get closer, but I wasn’t interested in friends who only wanted to admire the “new me.” I had bigger things on my mind. Bigger things than gossip, whispers, and shallow smiles.The hallways still felt massive, filled with chatter and laughter, but I had learned how to navigate them. Gracefully and quietly, and most importantly, without tripping over the mess of people who didn’t matter.Francesca? She had completely disappeared. Not a trace, not a whispered insult, nothing. Almost suspiciously so. I didn’t dwell on it, if she wanted to avoid me, that was her choice. I had better things to do than waste energy on someone who had already been reduced to a ghost in my life.It was a warm afternoon, the sun casting gentle shadows across the school courtyard. I had escaped to the quieter end of

    I glanced at the name inscribed on the building. Threads Of Sicily… Even the name made my pulse quicken. I hesitated at the heavy oak door, my fingers brushing the carved emblem of a needle crossed with a thread. A faint scent of lavender and fresh fabric drifted through the hall.I pushed the door open and stepped inside.Sunlight spilled through tall windows, catching on racks of partially finished gowns and bolts of fabric stacked like towers. Sketches adorned the walls, pinned with delicate gold clips. Mannequins posed in corners, draped in half‑formed dresses that seemed to pulse with possibility. A long table dominated the center, cluttered with colored pencils, measuring tapes, spools of thread, and jars of buttons that glinted like treasure. I swallowed hard. This wasn’t just a club. This was a world I could sink into, I thought my dreams had been thrown away but no,I am one step away from making it happen. Students were seated as if they were waiting for someone to arrive.I
