Chapter Fifty-three

Rain

It had been days since Enzo asked me that strange question, and I still couldn’t figure out why he asked it—or what he planned to do with my answer. Since that day, he hadn’t said a word about it. In fact, he barely spoke at all. Enzo had mostly stayed locked away in his inner room, only emerging to give me brief instructions about work tasks at the company.

And I knew—God, I knew—he was planning something. But no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t guess what that might be.

He hadn’t even addressed the issue with his brother. No confrontation, no angry words, nothing. Part of me wanted to be relieved that things hadn’t spiraled out of control after I told him what I’d seen. But another part of me was hurt—furious even—that he hadn’t confronted Eduardo after accusing me of inviting Andrew. That day, his fury had burned me, yet now he held his tongue about his brother’s betrayal.

It was all so confusing. I didn’t know what to expect or how to act around him any

  • In The Arms Of The Blind Don   The Opening Party

    Chapter Fifty-sixRainAn opening party.With them.The same people who had once looked at me like I was nothing.The same people who never believed in me—who scoffed at my dreams and told me I’d never amount to anything beyond being a burden. The same people who made my life a living hell the moment my mother died.My stepmother was at the center of it all. She had told me—warned me, even—that a girl like me had no right to dream.“No one wants a stray dog pretending to be a queen,” she’d once said. “Dreams are for the worthy, and that’s Reina. You? You’ll clean up after her success.”She meant every word. She made me believe it too—for a while.But she lied.And now… the truth was carved into every line on her face.I could see it clearly—the stiff smile stretching too wide, the way her eyes twitched at the corners, unable to hide the boiling resentment beneath. She wasn’t happy for me. She was furious. Defeated. Angry.None of them were genuinely celebrating me. Not my father, who

  • In The Arms Of The Blind Don   RSC: Rain Salvatore Couture

    Chapter Fifty-fiveRainI still couldn’t believe my eyes. It was unbelievable—surreal in the kind of way that made my chest ache and my throat tighten. This wasn’t just unexpected… it was everything I couldn’t even put into words.When Enzo asked me that question days ago, I didn’t think it could be for this reason. I knew he was planning something, but I couldn’t tell what it was, and today, I thought he was just going to relieve me of my duties. Never—not once—did I imagine he was asking because he planned something like this.He gave me the greatest gift I could have ever asked for.Not just a gift, but a dream—one I had buried quietly under the weight of reality, under the pressure of this marriage, under the ache of trying to figure out who I was in a world that kept asking me to shrink.He gave me something I had longed for since I was a little girl playing dress-up in front of the mirror. A wish I never forget to tell Santa every Christmas. Something I had daydreamed about late

  • In The Arms Of The Blind Don   The Fashion House

    Chapter Fifty-fourEnzoWhen Rain told me the truth—that it was Eduardo who invited that bastard Andrew to the family dinner—I didn’t know what to feel first. Anger? Shame? Or a sick kind of fear that someone from my own bloodline had done what I would’ve expected from a complete stranger?It wasn’t just betrayal. It was something colder. Something that made my skin crawl.My own brother.The man who should’ve defended me if someone else had pulled a stunt like that. The man who should’ve stood up for me, not plotted behind my back.Not like I didn’t know he had it in him—Eduardo had never hidden his envy. He’d told me to my face more than once that I didn’t deserve my seat. That I wasn’t worthy of the title of CEO and President. That a blind man like me couldn’t lead, shouldn’t lead.I’d always brushed it off. Took it as childish jealousy. A little brother throwing tantrums because he wanted a bigger slice of the pie. I thought I was being gracious by ignoring it, by rising above his

    Chapter Fifty-twoRainI stared at Enzo, his eyes still as calm as ever, while my mind raced with a thousand thoughts. I didn’t know what to say. I didn’t know what to do. I only hoped I’d be able to handle his reaction when he found out the truth—that it was his own brother. I hoped I’d be strong enough to stand by him when he realized that the one person after him all along was someone he trusted with his life.I had wanted to protect him from all of this. I didn’t want him to know that his own family was plotting against him—not after everything he’d already been through, not after finding out he might never see again. Even the strongest men would break under that weight. Anyone would.So what could I possibly say to soften this blow?He stepped closer, his cane tapping the floor lightly, the sound somehow louder in the silence between us. His voice was low, calm, yet firm—so steady it made my heart pound harder.“Rain. Don’t make me wait too long when I ask you a question.”I swal

  • In The Arms Of The Blind Don   The proof

    Chapter Fifty-oneRainThe elevator ride felt longer than usual, the kind of slow that made my nerves twitch. I tapped my fingers against my thigh, impatient, anxious, uneasy,,wondering if I was really going to find something—or if this whole idea was a waste of time. But if I didn’t at least try, the doubt would eat me alive.The moment I stepped out onto the ground floor, I realized I had no idea where the control room was. I wandered past the familiar halls, some security doors, even asked a janitor, but none of them could give me a straight answer, they were all too busy to give me an exact answer. I finally found a guard standing near the back hallway and asked him directly. After a short exchange and a bit of waiting, I was pointed in the right direction.The control room wasn’t what I expected—it was small, cramped, lit by the pale glow of several monitors. Two guards sat behind a desk, watching the screens with dull expressions like this was just another long, uneventful day.
