Henry’s POV.

Her eyes flutter open, revealing an emotion between confusion and curiosity. I can't stop smiling at her wonderful reaction.

"I... I didn't mean to," she stammers, her cheeks blushing delicately. "It's just that.... well..."

I can see the confusion in her eyes, as well as the longing that echoes mine. Fuck, even though I want to kiss her right now, I have to keep control. It's as if we're both on the verge of something big, something that has the potential to transform everything be

  • I Stole The Don's Heart   Chapter 53: Henry's Childhood

    Henry’s POV.“…Do you remember where you came from?” Daniel asks.“…Unfortunately,” I say quietly, “I do.”My hand rests against the glass as I stare out at the grounds, but I’m not seeing the present anymore. My jaw tightens slightly, and before I realize it, the memory pulls me under.The house was always loud, not with laughter or warmth or anything that could resemble a home, but with the constant, suffocating noise of things breaking against walls, of furniture being overturned without warning, of glass shattering into pieces that no one ever bothered to clean up properly, and of voices raised not in conversation but in anger.I was small back then, small enough that my hands couldn’t stop anything, small enough that my body wasn’t built to fight, but I was still old enough to understand exactly what was happening around me.“Henry,” my mother whispered once, her voice shaking as she crouched beside me, her hand gripping my shoulder just a little too tight, “take your brother and

  • I Stole The Don's Heart   Chapter 51: Running Away Again?

    Sarah’s POV.The night air is colder, or maybe it’s just the way everything inside me feels like it’s collapsing at once, and I press my back harder against the stone wall as if that can somehow hold me together, as if something solid can stop the way my chest tightens every time I replay the image of them standing together under the lights like they were always meant to be there.I don’t cry. I sit on the floor and think about my life after he gets marriage. I don’t know how to face him and I lied to him in the Christmas letter but my heart doesn’t follow my order.“Hey—hey, what are you doing out here?”Mila’s voice cuts through everything like a rope thrown to someone drowning, and I open my eyes quickly, wiping at the corner of them before she can get too close, but she’s already there, already looking at me the way she always does when she knows I’m lying before I even speak.“I just needed some air,” I say, forcing a small smile that doesn’t reach anywhere real.Mila crosses her

  • I Stole The Don's Heart   Chapter 51: Sarah Belongs To Me

    Henry’s POV.The garden stretches out beneath the balcony in perfect silence, the lights from the party fading behind me as the last of the guests begin to leave; I am just watching the shadows settle back into place as if the night is reclaiming what belongs to it.Jack shifts slightly beside me, waiting, as he always does, for the next order.“You don’t like it,” he says after a while.“I don’t like what?” I ask without looking at him.“This,” he replies. “You don’t like the way she reacted. She must be angry but she didn’t.”Perhaps he’s right. Sarah must be angry when she knows I will marry another woman. But she didn’t. That makes me get annoying every time I glance at her. She tries to be nice with Emily which doesn’t like her at all. I hate the moment she gives up on me like the letter she sent me in Christmas. I don’t know anymore. Just so annoying.Silence falls again, heavier this time.“…She really is fine?” I ask.Jack nods. “Yes. She was talking with Miss Walton. And with

  • I Stole The Don's Heart   Chapter 50: She's Perfect

    Sarah’s POV.As I put the magazine down, a sharp knock sounds on the door. One of the younger maids enters quickly, her face pale. “Miss Sarah,” she says, voice trembling. “There is a call for you on the private line. The caller says he is your grandfather… and he wants to speak to you about the diamond in your head right now.” My blood runs cold. I stare at the phone the maid holds out to me as my hands start to shake. My grandfather passed away long ago. How the hell is he calling me this time?Time passes slowly after that terrifying call. Henry’s men handle it and never let me take the phone. I recover day by day.I go back to my maid uniform and my usual duties. Sweeping, cleaning, serving, and attending vocal class when I can. The work keeps my mind busy even though my heart still feels heavy every time I see Henry.The mansion shines like a palace. Bright lights, beautiful flowers, and elegant guests fill every corner. News agencies and journalists crowd outside the gates, came

  • I Stole The Don's Heart   Chapter 49: The Engagement Party Arrives

    Henry’s POV.The words settle between us, quiet but heavy, and for a moment I don’t respond. She nods, her fingers still gripping the blanket as if it’s the only stable thing in her world right now. I take a step closer to the bed, my gaze dropping briefly to the bandage wrapped around her head before returning to her eyes. “Do you remember anything else?”She shakes her head slowly, wincing just slightly at the movement.Then I step closer again, stopping right beside her bed, close enough that she has to tilt her head slightly to keep looking at me. My phone vibrates, and I check it, it shows Emily Walton calls me. She wants to come to pick me up as she texts me and let me know she’s here.“I gotta go,” I say.“…Henry.”I pause at the door, glancing back at her.“Thank you,” she says quietly.I get out of the mansion and get in the Emily’s car. The car passes by in front of my mansion.Emily sits beside me in the backseat, composed as always, her posture perfect, her expression calm

  • I Stole The Don's Heart   Chapter 48: He Will Marry This Woman

    Sarah’s POV.The world doesn’t come back all at once, like I’m being pulled up through layers of water that don’t want to let me go. I force my eyes open fully this time, and the room comes into focus. My fingers twitch first, barely, then my lashes flutter, and light slices through the darkness so sharply it almost hurts.I inhale too quickly. Pain explodes behind my eyes.“What happened?” I ask, though pieces are already coming back in flashes about gunshots, shouting, hands grabbing me, the word Black Diamond echoing like a curse.Henry comes in the room as he asks me about the Black Diamond, and about my relationship with my grandfather. I don’t remember that much so I tell everything to him.Silence stretches between us for a moment, heavy with everything we’re not saying. Black Diamond, they kept saying it was… in my head.His jaw tightens slightly, but his voice stays even. “The doctors ran a scan.”Something cold slides down my spine.“…And?”“There’s something there.”My brea
