She clenched her jaw, fingers trembling.

It wasn’t jealousy.

It was… it was professionalism.

It was discomfort.

It was…

Okay, maybe it was jealousy.

But Eloise would be damned if she let anyone see it.

Inside the office, Sandra leaned back on Dino’s desk like she owned it. “I waited for you to reached out, you know. I thought we had something.”

Dino shook his head, his voice flat. “We were in highschool.”

Sandra pouted. “Well, we were still together sometime after highschool

    “What if I said yes?” he murmured. “What if I wanted to?” Eloise’s heart pounded so loudly she swore he could hear it. But she refused to be the first to break. Instead, she smiled. A slow, taunting smile. “Then I’d say… you think too highly of yourself”. As Eloise turned toward the door, her pulse still racing from their exchange, she reached for the handle. But just as she twisted it open, a firm hand shot out, pushing it shut with a quiet thud. Her breath caught. Dino was behind her now, his body a breath away, his presence overwhelming. She could feel the heat radiating from him, the tension thick enough to suffocate. Slowly, she turned to face him. Her back was against the door. His gaze was dark, unreadable, but the fire in his eyes was unmistakable. Before she could say a word, he caught her wrists, lifting them above her head, pinning them against the door with an effortless grip. Her breath hitched. “Dino—” He didn’t let her finish. His lips cr

    The next morning at the office felt unusually quiet. Eloise stepped into the building with a calm demeanor, but inside, her thoughts were a swirl of noise. She hadn’t had much sleep after last night’s conversation with Dino. It had stayed with her long after he left. The way he opened up, the weight behind his words... it all echoed in her mind, making her heart ache a little. She had always known Dino carried a lot, but hearing it from him directly changed everything. She walked through the familiar halls of the office with practiced ease, offering small smiles to a few colleagues on the way, but her mind was clearly elsewhere. Her desk was just as she left it organized, clean, and oddly comforting. She placed her bag down, booted up her computer, and took a deep sip from her warm coffee. Dino was away today, handling business matters at his father’s company, so the atmosphere was notably different without him around. A part of her missed him already, and it was ridiculous, con

    Matteo’s brow furrowed slightly, but he didn’t press further. Instead, he reached over, his fingers grazing hers briefly before he turned his attention back to the road. The restaurant was elegant but not over-the-top. Matteo had chosen well dim lighting, warm ambiance, a perfect balance of sophistication and comfort. He pulled out a chair for her, and she slid into it, adjusting the hem of her dress. “Wine?” he asked, already signaling for the waiter. She nodded. “Red is fine.” As the waiter poured their drinks, Matteo leaned forward slightly, watching her with an easy smile. “You don’t have to pretend, you know.” Eloise raised a brow. “Pretend?” “That you’re okay. Something’s on your mind.” She hesitated, fingers tightening around her glass. She could still feel Dino. The way he touched her, the way he made her lose herself completely. It felt imprinted on her skin. And yet, here she was, sitting across from Matteo, a man who had always been gentle, kind, and undenia

I thought we had something.” Dino shook his head, his voice flat. “We were in highschool.” Sandra pouted. “Well, we were still together sometime after highschool, maybe we can pick up where we left off. You seem single.” Dino’s gaze flickered to the door. “Things have changed.” Sandra tilted her head. “Eloise... is she one of those things?” He didn’t answer. Didn’t deny it. Didn’t need to. And outside, Eloise stared hard at the screen, jaw clenched, her mind racing with things she had no right to feel. But she felt them anyway. And that was the problem. There’s no way, right? She’s your stepsister now… Sandra said with a playful lilt

    The mention of my mother, of what Santoro had done, made rage burn in my chest. But underneath it was something else now, something complicated by three months of having Nina in my life, in my bed, in my heart. “I’ll handle it,” I said, keeping my voice steady. “How?” “I have sources. Connections. I’ll find what we need to find.” “And then?” “And then I’ll do what needs to be done.” Nonno studied me for a long moment, those sharp eyes searching for weakness, for hesitation. “You’ve changed, Enzo. Since you’ve been in Milan. Since you’ve been away from family. I can see it in you.” “I haven’t changed—” “Don’t lie to me. I’ve known you since you were born. I can see when something’s different.” He stepped closer. “That woman you brought here. Nina. She’s important to you.” It wasn’t a question. “She’s under my protection.” “That’s not what I asked.” Another step. “Is she important to you? Beyond just possession, beyond just claiming? Does she matter?” I wanted to lie. Wanted

    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 hills. The tension in the car was palpable, the kind that came before serious conversations, before decisions that would shape the future. We pulled up to the estate, guards at every entrance, more security than the villa, more weapons visible. This wasn’t about comfort or family gatherings. This was about power. “Come,” Nonno said as we got out, leading us not into the house but around it, to a stone staircase that climbed the exterior wall. “The roof. Better to talk where no one can hear.”
