DIMITRI’S POV

The meeting was Senator Ricci’s idea.

Neutral ground, he’d said. Somewhere private for just the two of us.

Which meant his private club in Parioli. Ricci was already there when I arrived.

He stood when he saw me, extended his hand like we were old friends. “Dimitri. Thank you for coming.”

“Senator.”

We sat, then a waiter appeared, poured us drinks.

“Last night was unfortunate,” he said.

“Your daughter made a scene at a private event,” I said. “I’d call it more than

    GIULIA's POVI’d been in the kitchen for twenty minutes trying to figure out what to make for dinner.I was alone in the kitchen, with no chef and no staff… just as I’d always wanted it and whatever ingredients I could find in the refrigerator. Back in Milan, I always had someone for everything… cooking, cleaning, organizing. I had never had to think about these things. Moving to Rome was the first time I had to figure out what I enjoyed doing in my own space.To my surprise, I discovered that I liked cooking.I was reaching for the pasta when I heard the door open.A smile broke across my face even before I turned around, my automatic response to the sound of him coming home. I dried my hands on the kitchen towel and made my way to the entrance.Then I stopped.Dimitri stood in the doorway, with Victoria behind him.He was holding one

    Her eyes widened. “You just said—” “On paper,” I said. “No announcement. Something formal enough to satisfy your father and secure his backing. Long enough for me to reach the Senate without needing him once I’m there.” “And then it ends.” “Cleanly,” I said. “I’ll handle your father when the time comes.” “And Giulia never knows.” I said nothing to that. Because that was the part I hadn’t fully worked out yet. The part that sat wrong no matter how I positioned it. Victoria studied me. “I see you haven’t told her about any of this.” “That’s not your concern.” “It will be when she fi

    Two weeks later… Victoria was already at the table when I arrived. She looked up when she saw me, something crossed her face immediately. Surprise maybe, like she hadn’t fully believed I’d actually show up. “I didn’t think you’d actually agree to meet me,” she said. “Let’s get to it,” I said. I sat down. I just looked at her directly, she shifted slightly in her seat. “My father—” “I know what your father wants,” I said. “He was very clear.” “Then you know why I’m here.” “I know why he sent you,” I said. “That’s not the same thing.” She looked at me carefully, trying to read me like she was trying to find the edge of what I knew and where my patience started running thin. “Dimitri,” she started. “Alessandro Benedetti,” I said. Everything stopped. She went completely still. The kind of still that happened when someone heard something they’d spent years making sure no one would ever say out loud. “What did you just say,” she said. Barely a whisper. “Your

You know that better than most.” “What I know,” I said, “is that she deliberately created a situation designed to embarrass my partner. And that you called me immediately afterward which tells me you know exactly what happened and why.” Ricci lifted his glass. Took his time and set it down. “Let me be direct,” he said. “Please.” “You’re running

    “Excuse me?” That was the only word I could think of at that moment.Victoria looked at me with that practiced wounded expression, the champagne was still dripping from her dress.Dimitri appeared beside me almost immediately, his hand at my back as his eyes moved quickly between us. “What’s happening?”“Apparently,” Victoria said, her voice lifting just enough to carry, “your girlfriend is jealous because I used to date you. So she spilled her drink all over me.”I let out a sound that wasn’t quite a laugh. “How childish… That’s not what happened.”“She’s being delusional,” I said clearly.Mrs. Kostas appeared from nowhere the way she always seemed to, materializing exactly when she could do the most damage.“How dare you make a scene here?” she said, looking directly at me.And that was all Victoria needed.Her expression shifted immediately, the wounded look replaced with something more theatrical and more convincing for the audience that had gathered.“I was just telling her how l

    She kissed me after, slowly like we had all night, like she had nowhere to be and all night to get there. I wasn’t done. Not even close. I turned her over, shifting my weight, settling above her, and she looked up at me with those dark eyes and that wrecked red lipstick and said nothing. Only watching me. I kissed her mouth. Her jaw. Moved to her neck, taking my time, feeling her pulse jump under my lips. Then I stopped. On the side of her neck, just below her hairline where the blonde hair had fallen away. A tattoo. Small and precise. A snake wrapped around a dagger, the details were clean, not the kind of thing you got on a whim. I stared at it for a second longer than I should have. Because I knew that symbol. I couldn’t place it immediately, couldn’t pull the memory forward fast enough, but somewhere in the back of my mind something was turning over slowly. Trying to connect, I’d seen it before… I was certain of that. Where. “Don’t be so hasty now.” Her

    “I said one week.” His voice was flat. Cold. No emotion.“No, Enzo.” I took a step toward him. “No more weeks. No more deals. No more of this. I’m done.”“The arrangements aren’t complete.”“I don’t care about the arrangements!” My voice rose. “I don’t care about Lorenzo or protection or any of it.

    The day passed in a strange limbo. Dr. White checked on me every few hours. Maids brought meals I barely touched. Guards rotated shifts outside whatever room I occupied. And Enzo stayed away. I should have been relieved. Should have been grateful for the space. Instead, I felt his absence l
