“But,” I paused my lips, drawing away, “sometimes life doesn’t ask what you want. It just… redirects you. And no amount of wanting makes the path straighten.”

Confusion crept up his face. “Are you saying –”

“I’m saying I didn’t come here to hurt you,” I interrupted. My chest tightened suddenly. It felt like an invisible thread pulling hard. I glanced past him, toward the far trees and the open dark.

Everything felt wrong.

“I thought I was ready for this.”

    “Hmm,” Sergei mused, his gaze dragging over the card before flicking up to me again. “Kids with rich parents.”The laughter that had started to build again didn’t last. It died a fraction because Yuri Malenkov, the man at the head of the table, flexed his wrist in the air.His eyes dropped to the card, narrowing as if it had personally offended him. His fingers balled against the table, the faintest pause in a man who otherwise wasted nothing.And when he looked up again, he wasn’t looking at the others but at me.A woman stepped into my periphery, completely buck-naked, except for the thin straps of her shoes, tight nipples and a face heavy with makeup.Her expression was blank in the way only trained compliance could achieve, carrying a tray stacked high with chips, obscene in volume.She lowered it in front of me and traced her fingers across my shoulder blades which caused the hairs at the back of my neck to rise involuntarily. Then she stepped back without a word.“I don’t see an

    It costs $11,000 for the pleasure of passing through the velvet rope, down the exclusive corridor, heading straight for the high-limit rooms upstair.I paid it without hesitation, sliding the card across a glass desk to a man who didn’t look at me twice.La Casino Capitol pulsed with wealth.Low lights spilled into gold across marble floors, reflecting off crystal and steel, turning every surface into something deliberately seductive. Drunk women, the stench of ‘suave and ice’ and liquor latched onto them as they drifted through the space like decoration, while men sat heavy in their seats, fingers stacked with rings, wrists burdened by watches that could buy cities. And it showed.Gold teeth flashed when they laughed. Thick chains rested against open collars. Custom suits stretched over soft bodies, the fabric fighting a losing battle against excess. They exuded dominance and power in every way, but there was something more repulsive lurking beneath the surface.Bile rose to my th

    “No,” I said simply. “You shouldn’t.”That seemed to settle something in him, like it confirmed whatever version of the situation he’d built in his head.“Exactly,” he muttered, a little more certain now. “So whatever this is, you’re overreacting. Let me go.”“Overreacting?” Jerry echoed, the word already edged with impatience as his grip tightened.“Easy.” I intervened before it could escalate. “You were inside a private establishment asking about her movements. You ran when approached. You dropped a device filled with her images. And now you’re telling me you don’t know what this is?”The young man’s eyes darted past Jerry’s raised hand, scanning for an escape, before frantically searching himself only to realize his phone was indeed the device in Jerry’s hand. His expression tensed, shoulders stiffening, instinctively bracing against the pressure on his collar.“I’m telling you,” he said slowly, “I did a job. That’s it. Take pictures. Send them in. Get paid. No names. No questions.

    The garage was already occupied by the time I stepped in. Inside, I spotted two of my cars immediately – the one Jerry had driven Rosalia in still angled toward the exit, ready to move at a second’s notice, and the escort vehicle tucked closer to the column where a black sedan waited.Jerry closed the distance the moment I appeared, a phone already in his hand. His expression had tightened in a way that told me whatever dragged me out of that boardroom had earned it.“He came in as a customer,” he began, placing the phone in my palm as we stopped beside the car. “It wasn't all unusual until he asked how long she’d be inside.”I unlocked the screen without responding, my eyes already scanning through what he’d handed me while his voice continued, steady and controlled. There were photos. Too many. My thumb slowed over one of the images.“I let him walk,” Jerry went on, unfazed by my silence. “He left the boutique, came straight out here, got into this car. Apparently he’s been on us

    I let him move me where he wanted. His hands were quick, adjusting the fabric at my waist before the tape followed. “Take a second,” Kai called as he drifted out, already pulled in another direction. On his way past, he plucked my phone from one of his assistants and placed it back into my hand, a light tap against my fingers. “No disappearing on me.” The door slid shut behind him and silence settled in. I twirled carefully, the fabric whispering around my legs as I faced the mirrors. Just me, multiplied endlessly. The dress was beautiful, I couldn’t deny that. But all I could see was what it represented. It wasn't just any marriage. It was one into this family. The thought didn’t feel like fate. It wasn’t something written for me, something inevitable or remotely romantic. It felt constructed because I had slowly, carefully woven this outcome into existence myself. And now I was standing in it with no one to blame. My throat tightened as my gaze dropped, then lifted again

    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’d learned early that the walls in our house didn’t keep sound out. Today, the hallway carried my father’s voice to me like darkness curling under a door.“They’ve kept me in clerical servitude until the matter is closed,” his tone was stripped bare of anything but fact. He never raised his voice

    He had gone straight to the Don of the De Laurentiis. Unfortunately for me, whatever happened that night was buried and folded for political reasons and the illusion of peace among powerful allies.
