Married To Danger CHAPTER 87
VALENTINA “I don’t know what to do.” That was the first thing I said to my reflection the next morning. My hair was still damp, my coffee was already cold, and my heart hadn’t stopped pounding since I’d left Serena’s room last night. I’d slept in short bursts, jerking awake at the sound of every creak, every footstep I imagined on the stairs. At one point, I swore I heard movement above me but I refused to look. Now, standing in the bathroom light, I barely recognized myself. “Mom?” Stefan’s voice came through the door, small and hesitant. “Can Ethan come again today?” I cleared my throat. “Not today, sweetheart. Maybe this weekend, okay?” He sounded disappointed but didn’t argue. “Okay.” His footsteps faded down the hall. I shut my eyes and pressed both palms to the counter. I’d told Serena I’d think about helping her escape but I hadn’t meant it. Not at first. But the longer I tried to convince myself to forget, the more her voice echoed in my head. ‘He doesn’t love you
Married To Danger CHAPTER 86
VALENTINA “You came back.” Serena’s voice was quiet. But there was something behind it this time… something calculated. She sat by the window, her hair pulled over one shoulder, the morning light tracing the edges of her face. The same face I’d seen in photographs that Adrian once kept hidden, a face that shouldn’t have been here at all. “Yeah I did,” I admitted. Her lips curved into a knowing smile. “Thank you, Valentina.” I stayed near the door. The air between us felt thick, almost electric. Every time I looked at her, my brain struggled to reconcile what I was seeing with what I’d been told. She was supposed to be gone. Dead and buried. But she wasn’t. Serena tilted her head slightly, studying me. “You’re scared of me.” “I’m not scared,” I said too quickly. Her eyes narrowed, soft amusement in them. “Then why are you standing all the way over there, Valentina?” I hesitated, then forced myself forward a few steps. “Because I don’t know what to think. You tell me one thin
Married To Danger CHAPTER 85
VALENTINA Stefan had a friend over from school, a boy named Ethan, and I smiled as their laughter echoed through the house. They were building something out of Legos on the floor, their voices tumbling over one another in excited bursts of conversation. I leaned against the doorway for a moment, watching them. Stefan’s face was brighter than I’d seen it in a while. It was strange how easily children could move on, how a few hours with a friend could erase nights of silence. Sofia was perched at the table with her crayons, tongue peeking out between her lips as she colored a crooked rainbow. Milo and Luna dozed by her feet, tails twitching every few seconds. It was one of those rare mornings when everything looked normal. I poured myself another cup of coffee and sat at the kitchen island. The steam fogged my vision for a moment, and in that blur I almost saw her again — long dark hair, the faint shadow of a woman turning away. I blinked hard. The image vanished. It had been d
Married To Danger CHAPTER 84
VALENTINA The air in my lungs ceased. I couldn’t move, couldn’t look away.“What? He hit you?”Serena’s voice was shaking now. “He beat me until I couldn’t stand. Until I couldn’t even breathe. I was heavily pregnant and went into premature labor right there. Adrian called his trusted doctor to deliver the baby. She was snatched right from me and I barely even saw her face before I blacked out.”She motioned at the machines in the room. “Adrian bought all of this so I didn’t have to go to a hospital… so no one would know what he had done. He wanted me to be treated right under his nose. I thought I was going to die. And maybe I did, for a while. Because when I woke up, I was in this room with machines everywhere, needles in my arm.”I whispered, “He kept you here.”“Sometimes I’d hear voices— Adrian’s, the nurse’s, the doctor. And then one day I heard him.” Her eyes flickered up to mine. “He was standing right there.” She pointed to the corner near the door. “Talking to someone on th
Married To Danger CHAPTER 83
VALENTINA Being in this room felt like I’d forgotten how to breathe.Serena was still in front of me, framed by the sterile white walls of that hidden room. And all I could keep thinking was that she was too alive for someone who was supposed to be buried in the ground.Her large pleading eyes held something haunted that made me want to haul the contents of my stomach, even though I hadn’t been doing much eating recently.I didn’t know what to say.What were you supposed to say when the dead spoke to you?Serena’s fingers trembled where they clutched the blanket around her shoulders. “You’re already here, Valentina… you might as well just hear the truth,” she said quietly, as if she’d been holding her breath for days. “You came, even though I didn’t think you would.”I swallowed hard and it felt like there were pieces of glass lodged in my throat. “I… I shouldn’t have. I don’t even know why I did.”“Yes, you do.” Her voice was fragile but controlled. “You had to know if I was real.”
Married To Danger CHAPTER 82
VALENTINA Two days later, I stood at the base of the staircase for a long time, staring up at the landing as if it might swallow me whole.It was just a staircase. Just another part of the house. But for the first time, it looked… different. The polished steps gleamed under the light, and the long hallway stretched upward like an open throat. Somewhere above, behind locked doors and shuttered windows, lay the truth I’d been avoiding.My hands were trembling.Adrian’s voice still echoed in my head from our call that morning — warm, steady and too careful. He’d asked how the kids were, if I’d slept well. I’d lied and said everything was fine. I could hear the faint hum of his background, and I’d imagined him there, surrounded by people, his world far from the one I’d been thrown into just a few nights ago.He didn’t know what I’d seen.And he couldn’t.I pressed a hand to the railing and started heading up.Every creak of the wood beneath my slippers made my heart skip. Even though I

ADRIAN… THE PAST“Adrian.” Damien squeezed my shoulder, his voice imploring.“Call my father. Ask him to come over. He needs to know, but don’t tell him about Rico… let’s just focus on Lorenzo. And don’t alert anyone else yet. We need to come up with a story.”“You’ll keep Serena’s affair a secret

VALENTINA The promise I’d made to Adrian that I wouldn’t move into another room no matter what happened between us echoed in my head like a cruel joke. I wasn’t sure I wanted to keep it anymore. For the first time since our marriage, fear sat heavy in my chest. I didn’t want to be afraid of my h

VALENTINA That afternoon, Stefan and I were on the floor of the living room. It had become our little ritual— quiet time together while Sofia took her nap upstairs. The soft hum of the baby monitor filled the background, and sunlight streamed through the wide windows, pooling in golden squares acr

VALENTINA The next day, I browsed party ideas for sixth birthdays. Stefan’s special day was in a week, and I wanted to surprise him with a cake and a themed birthday party. Clutching the edge of the sofa, Sofia pulled herself up to her legs beside me, grinning proudly.“Good,” I cooed while I kept
