Married To The Wrong Brother CHAPTER 68: Vincenzo
"You sent for me, sir –"She halted and the color drained from her face.At least somebody in this house still possessed survival instincts because I knew exactly what I looked like.My shirt sleeves had been rolled to my forearms, and my jaw ached from clenching it. Every muscle in my body felt wound so tightly it threatened to tear itself apart.“Shut the door.”Lauren obeyed immediately, and by the time she turned back to me, she gasped because I'd already crossed the room.One moment she stood near the doorway. The next, her back struck the wall with a violent thud that rattled the framed artworks beside her.My hand closed around her throat.“Unless my memory has suddenly deteriorated, I distinctly remember placing you in charge of this household.”“Enz –” A wheeze strangled the rest of her sentence.“When was she hired?”“Her... file...”“Oh, we have a file,” a humorless smile pulled at my mouth. “Perhaps that file can explain how a woman who attempted to poison Rosalia under my

But he never touched me. His fingers merely caught the loose strand of hair that had fallen across my face and pushed it behind me, careful enough that his skin never brushed mine once.Still, my entire body went cold. Because that level of control somehow frightened me more than if he had grabbed me.What had I done?I had slapped him.I had cornered a man who stood downstairs and watched somebody die without blinking.“Listen carefully, piccola.” My pulse staggered unevenly when he leaned closer. Gone was the composed diplomat from downstairs. This voice was darker and I could feel the heat of him surrounding me completely.“At the dinner table, I exercised an extraordinary amount of restraint with you tonight.” His dark stare locked onto mine. “Far more than any man in my position would have.”My lips trembled uncontrollably.“You interrupted me repeatedly.” His voice remained unbearably calm. “You challenged me in front of my staff. You questioned my judgment. You raised your vo
Married To The Wrong Brother CHAPTER 66: Rosalia
I sat upright in my bed. And every single time I squeezed my eyes so hard that it hurt, the images kept coming anyway.Pearl choking.Pearl collapsing.Pearl’s fingers bruising her neck while everybody just stood there watching.While I stood there watching.And Enzo.That was the part my brain refused to process correctly. The terrifying composure on his face while she fought for air at his feet caused a shaky breath to escape me.My anger hadn’t disappeared. If anything, it had become worse now that it had tangled itself with what I couldn’t logically explain. I had watched him force her to drink it. I could still hear myself arguing with him. Still remember how sure I’d been that he was wrong.And when she lifted the glass with those shaking hands, I didn’t stop her.The realization burned through me so viciously I suddenly shoved the blanket off my body and stood up from the bed like that sudden movement alone could outrun the feeling.Nothing about tonight felt real anymore. Not

Pearl’s shoulders stiffened.“Enzo – what are you doing?” Rosalia exhaled sharply. “This is ridiculous.” I rose abruptly, and Pearl’s breath hitched.“There are many ways to be present in a room, and only a few of them require honesty.” Rosalia shook her head once. “What does that even mean?”I looked at her, then back to Pearl again.“Why don’t you show us?” I said evenly, stretching the glass towards her. “Since you’ve had so much opportunity to speak in place of answers.”Pearl swallowed.Rosalia’s confusion deepened. “Enzo, you’re acting like she’s some kind of stranger. I'm even more of a stranger than she is here. Pearl’s been nothing but nice since I moved in. She didn’t do anything strange –”“Exactly,” I cut in quietly. “Which makes it worth checking.”Pearl’s fingers trembled violently the second she reached for the glass. The crystal clinked against itself in her grip while I watched her without expression.A thin layer of sweat had begun gathering near her hairline now,
Married To The Wrong Brother CHAPTER 64: Vincenzo
She sat by herself at the long dining table, surrounded by half-cleared plates amidst crystal and candlelight, with remnants of dessert still clinging to the black square plate in front of her – the aftermath of a dinner that had obviously finished without me.It hadn't been entirely intentional.The meeting with Theodore Hunt had taken longer than planned, and by the time I returned to the villa in McLean, Washington traffic had turned into its usual organized form of misery.One of the maids hurried forward to place a bottle beside Rosalia, and the second she noticed my presence, she immediately retreated behind the pillars to rejoin the rest.My gaze cascaded over Rosalia briefly.Hmm.How intriguing. A direct refusal this early into the arrangement.Bold.The scent of her perfume reached me before I properly crossed into the dining room. It had something warm rested beneath the floral notes, softer than what she’d worn yesterday.“New perfume,” I observed as my footsteps slowed.
Married To The Wrong Brother CHAPTER 63: Vincenzo
“Fuck,” I thought, watching Theodore Hunt laugh smoke into the air like his lungs had personally offended him. “How did this idiot end up owning one of the largest media empires in America?”Across the terrace, Theodore leaned into the waitress serving their table, silver lighter dangling between his fingers while he smiled at her with all the dignity of a divorced politician on his third relapse.She couldn’t have been older than twenty-three.In this world, wealth rarely found the right people. It either landed in the laps of fools or stayed buried inside bloodlines too powerful to lose it. Mine was no exception.Washington had always been full of men like Theodore Hunt. Old, rich, rotting from the inside out, and somehow, they still held entire governments by the throat.The rooftop lounge overlooked half of D.C., marble fire pits flickering against glass railings while about three suited officials – whom may be his – drank themselves numb beneath the skyline. I’d heard Theodore w

Neither of them noticed how loud they were getting. Or maybe they did, and fear made them louder anyway.The man with the damaged eye shifted again, testing the restraints like he could still overpower them. The chair rocked an inch before slamming back down. The movement seemed to send pain throug

I blinked awake, groggy, as a heavy pulse slammed behind my eyes, squeezing my temples. Pain radiated outward in dull waves up my skull, down my neck, into my chest where every breath felt shallow and sore. For a moment, I couldn’t place where I was. The room hovered around me, and its cold shadow

“Marco!” my mom yelled. “You snake. You jerk. You think because my husband is dead –”“That’s enough, Eleonora,” he cut in, “this behavior is exactly why we’re here.”As two more men hurried in, one of them handed him a plastic file, and he continued to look me down.“Your mother,” he said with a d

There was only pressure and the sensation of being restrained by an unidentified force. My breath became shallow and my limbs refused to respond. I wasn't screaming. The cruelest thing of it has always been that I never resist. Like a blunt object through glass, the sound penetrated the space. In
