ENZO’S POV

I went to the guest house first.

Early, before the house had fully woken up, before I had to deal with Laurent or Violet or any of it. I told myself it was just practical. I needed to know she was okay before I could focus on anything else.

“Giulia?”

“In the garden.” she answered “Nina is still sleeping Enzo”

I nodded. Left it alone. If Nina was sleeping she needed it, and walking up there and waking her up before I’d figured out what I even wanted to say would only make ev

  • His Sinful Empire    Chapter 132

    GIULIA’s POVI was still sitting on the kitchen floor, my phone started buzzing nonstop beside me, and notifications were popping up one after another. Each headline worse than the last.“Political Star Dating Mafia Princess?”“Santini Crime Family: Who Is Giulia?”“Dimitri Kostas’ Career in Jeopardy Over Mob Ties”I couldn't stop reading them. I couldn't stop scrolling. Each message felt like a knife twisting deeper into my heart.Suddenly, I heard the elevator arrive at the penthouse level, the familiar sound pulling my attention. My head snapped up to see the doors open.Dimitri rushed out, his jacket off, his tie loosened, and his hair tousled as if he had been running his hands through it. His eyes found me immediately as I sat on the floor in his robe, my face likely a mess from crying.“Giulia—” He crossed the space in three long strides, dropped to his knees beside me, his hands on my face. “Are you okay? Are you hurt?”“I’m fine—”“I had to come back. I tried to give us both

    “Running away,” I replied honestly. The wine was making me brave. “What about you?”“The usual boring stuff.”“Is Rome that boring?”“Trust me, it is.” He turned to face me, his eyes finding mine in the dim light. “But you’re not boring.”“You don’t know me.”“Not yet.” He stepped closer. “But I want to.”My breath caught. He was so close now, his body almost touching mine, his eyes dark and intense.“You’re… you’re so beautiful,” he said quietly. “Tell me this is a bad idea, and I’ll walk away.”I should have. I should have told him I didn’t do things like this, didn’t hook up with strangers on rooftops, and didn’t let myself get swept up in chemistry this intense.But I didn’t.&ldqu

    FIVE YEARS AGO...One month in Rome, and I had hardly left my apartment.I came here to start over, to be someone other than a Santini, and to breathe without my family... Especially my father, watching every move. But mostly, I just sat in my apartment, staring at blank canvases and wondering what the hell I was doing with my life.Then I met Anne.She lived in the apartment next door and heard me crying one night through the thin walls. She knocked on my door with a bottle of wine and zero shame about inserting herself into my life.“You need to get out,” she said, pouring us both generous glasses. “You’ve been hiding in here for weeks.”“I’m not hiding—”“You are absolutely hiding. And tonight, that ends. We’re going out.”“I don't think—”“No arguments. Put on

    I stayed in bed for a while after Dimitri left, just staring at the door. Finally I made myself get up. Sitting here feeling guilty wasn’t going to help anything. I grabbed one of Dimitri’s robes from the closet and put it on. It smelled like him and made my chest hurt all over again. The penthouse felt too quiet without him at the moment. I walked to the kitchen. Maybe if I did something normal, I could pretend this morning didn’t happen. Pretend I didn’t ruin everything by saying Luca’s name. Pancakes. I’d make pancakes. Dimitri loved my pancakes. I got out the flour, eggs, milk. Started mixing everything together while my brain kept replaying the hurt look on Dimitri’s face. ‘I deserve better than being your second choice.’ My phone buzzed on the counter. I ignored it. It buzzed again. Then again. Then it started ring

    LOCATION: Parioli, Rome. Dimitri’s private penthouse. GIULIA's POV I woke up to a warmth between my legs, the slow movement of Dimitri’s tongue against me. My eyes were still closed, and my body was responding before my mind fully woke with pleasure building slowly. His hands were on my thighs, spreading me wider, holding me open as his mouth worked me. A moan escaped my throat as his tongue circled my clit, then flattened against it and applied pressure that alone made my hips lift off the bed. I was still half asleep, caught in that hazy space between dreams and reality. And then in that haze, my mind conjured the wrong face. Dark hair, sharp jaw, and blue eyes, I could recognize. Luca. “Luca,” I moaned, the name slipping out before I could stop it. Everything stopped. The warmth between my legs disappeared. The blanket was thrown back. Dimitri’s head came up, and his face was a mixture of shock and fury. “What did you just say?” My eyes flew open, reality cras

    GIULIA's POV The doorbell rang at nine PM. I wasn’t expecting anyone. Hadn’t been for weeks now, not since I came back from Sicily and locked myself in this apartment, hiding from everyone and everything. I walked to the door with my bare feet cold against the floor, and looked through the peephole. Dimitri. My heart did something stupid in my chest. It always did anytime I saw him. I opened the door. He stood there in his work suit, looking tired but still unfairly handsome, holding flowers. White peonies and pink roses. The ones I’d told him I loved on our third date years ago. “Hey,” he said. “Hey.” I stepped aside. He came in, and the smell of his expensive cologne filled my apartment. The same smell that used to be all over my sheets, my pillows, and my clothes, back when we lived together. “How are you?” he asked, putting the flowers down. “Fine.” “Giulia—” “I said I’m fine.” He looked at me with those dark eyes that saw too much. “Come back home.

    “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
