ENZO’s POV

The drive took us out of the main villa grounds, up winding roads into the hills, to one of the family’s more private properties. A smaller estate, more fortress than home, with views that stretched across the entire valley, the Mediterranean glinting in the distance. This was where Nonno conducted his most sensitive business, away from prying eyes and listening ears.

Alessandro drove, Nonno beside him in the front, me in the back, all of us silent as we climbed higher into the h

  • His Sinful Empire    Chapter 125

    The facility gates were already locked down when I arrived. Security was tight… too tight for a place meant to heal, not cage. That’s when I saw them. Luca was standing a few feet from the gate, hands in his pockets, jaw tight. A lady was beside him, arms crossed, her eyes fixed on the building like she could will Nina awake through concrete walls. “They were not allowed in,” one of the guards said quietly behind me. “I know,” I replied. Luca noticed me first. His body stiffened instantly. Not with fear or anger. Readiness. Like he’d been waiting for this moment without knowing it. I had never seen her before. That was the part that hit me hardest. She didn’t look like Santoro. No sharp arrogance. No calculated stare. She looked… young. Worn. Like someone who’d been holding herself together with willpower alone. “This is Gia,” Luca said, briefly. So this was her. This was the girl Nina had risked everything for. Gia met my eyes. She didn’t flinch. Didn’t

    ENZO’S POV It had been three days. Three days of seeing this machines breathing for her, staring at a chest that rose because something else told it to. Three days of learning how loud silence could be. “Just say it already, Bruno.” He stood by the window, hands clasped behind his back. He hadn’t slept either. I could tell. Bruno never hid exhaustion well… he just carried it like duty. “Sir,” he said carefully, “I need to go back to Milan. Something important. It’s… urgent.” I didn’t look at him. My eyes were still on the door to Nina’s room, like it might open if I watched hard enough. “Just go,” I said. “Brief Marco and the men before you leave.” Relief flickered across his face, quick and gone. “Thank you, sir.” He hesitated. “Sir…” I exhaled slowly. “What again, Bruno.” “Nonno has asked for you,” he said. “He demands to see you. Now.” “He can wait.” There was a pause. Then Bruno spoke again, softer this time. “Sir… I think it’s best you go. Then take so

    LUCA's POV The house was too quiet when I walked in. Gia was already there. She stood up the second she saw me, phone still in her hand, worry written all over her face like she’d been holding it for hours. “I’ve been trying to reach you,” she said quickly. “Luca… what happened?” I dropped my keys on the table, the sound too loud in the silence. My chest felt tight, like my lungs had forgotten how to work properly. “I’m sorry,” I said. My voice cracked immediately. “Gia, I’m so sorry. I—” The words tangled in my mouth and refused to come out right. I dragged a hand through my hair, pacing once before stopping in front of her. “I don’t even know how to say this.” Her hands came up to my face, warm, groundi

    I felt my chest heavier than before. “Push harder and don't stop until there is a sign,” I said. “Move” I added No one did. So I did. I placed my hand over the center of her chest, right where her heart should be beating. “I’m not done with you,” I whispered fiercely. “You don’t get to leave me. Not like this.” I broke her. And I will burn the world if she dies. I drove my fist down. Once and Hard. The sound was hollow. Like something cracking inside my own body. Someone gasped. For a second, then— A blip. Then Another. The monitor stuttered. “A pulse,” someone said, stunned. “We’ve got a pulse!” The room exploded into motion again. I drooped forward, forehead pressing to hers, and a broken laugh came out of my chest as tears finally spilled down my face. “There you are,” I whispered. “There you are… don’t ever do that to me again.” Hands gently but firmly pulled me back. “She’s back,” the doctor said urgently. “Move him out. Now.” They dragged m

    “Stay with me,” I said again, my voice breaking openly now. “Please. Stay with me.” She didn’t answer. For a split second, the world tilted. That sharp, terrifying silence, the kind of silence that doesn’t just exist in your ears but creeps into your chest and starts crushing things. “Nina,” I said, louder now. “Nina, look at me please.” Nothing. My heart slammed so hard it hurt. “She’s still breathing,” Luca said quickly beside me, his voice tight, controlled in that way that meant he was barely holding it together. “Enzo. She’s still here.” Barely. I lifted my head, swallowing hard, forcing myself to focus. This wasn’t the time to fall apart. Falling apart was a luxury for men who weren’t carrying a bleeding woman in their arms. “Move,” I ordered. The car door was already open. Bruno was on the phone, speaking fast, clipped. “We’re five minutes out. Gunshot wound. Female. Severe blood loss.” He didn’t need to say her name. They should know. The underground

    Enzo’s POV I shouldn’t have left her. The moment I stepped into the corridor, that truth lodged in my chest like shrapnel. Every instinct I had screamed to stay. To chain myself to the floor beside her if that’s what it took. But Luca needed cover, and time was bleeding out faster than we were. Gunfire echoed somewhere deeper in the compound. I moved on muscle memory alone, turn, fire, advance, cover. My body knew how to survive even when my mind refused to leave that room. Every second stretched too long. Every sound felt wrong. I took down two men in the hall. A third ran. The gunshot burst the night open. This wasn't close, it was from outside. Bruno. My head snapped up instinctively, every muscle going taut. The sound wasn’t wild it was a signal more than an attack. My men were in. Relief hit hard and fast, sharp enough to almost buckle me. We weren’t alone anymore. I turned toward Luca just as he was already moving. “That was Bruno,” I said. He nodded

    An older man stood immediately, probably in his seventies but still vital, still commanding, his eyes sharp and assessing as they landed on me. He was tall, distinguished, gray hair perfectly groomed, wearing a suit despite the informal setting. “Enzo!” His voice boomed, warm but powerful, fill

    “Is it working?” He moved fast, hands on my hips, pulling me against him, his mouth crashing onto mine, demanding, possessive. I kissed him back just as desperately, my hands already working at his belt, at the buttons of his shirt. “We’re on a plane,” he murmured against my lips. “I know.”

    “Fine. We’ll get settled. Let Nonno know we’ve arrived when he returns.” “Of course.” Giuseppe gestured to a young woman hovering nearby. “Maria will show you up.” But Enzo waved her off. “I know the way.” He guided me through the villa, and I tried not to gape at the opulence, the artwork,

    GIULIA's POV The gallery was quiet, empty except for the faint echo of my footsteps on the polished marble floor. I stood in front of the latest piece I’d acquired, a haunting abstract of a mother and child, and felt my chest constrict painfully. Three days. It had been three days since the hospi
