The meal carried on in bursts of laughter, the men competing to make their Don smile. Rose kept her eyes lowered, picking at her food, tasting little. She felt the tension coil around her like the smoke drifting from Vittorio’s cigar, heavy and suffocating.

It was when the plates of roasted lamb were cleared that Vittorio’s attention settled on her.

“Tell me, ragazza,” he began, his voice rough but carrying, “how does it feel to sit here?” His gaze flicked around the men, t

    The nanny’s face was drained of color. “Signora… that’s… that could—”“Accidents happen,” Bianca cut in sharply. “And when they do, I’ll make sure Dante promotes you. But if you say a word about this conversation—just one word—I’ll make sure your body goes home in pieces.”The nanny’s hands shook. She nodded.Bianca smiled and walked out.But she didn’t know Bella had returned to Rose’s hallway earlier than expected. Bella saw the nanny slipping into Rose’s room, holding folded baby’s clothes.She knew every maid assigned each day to the wing and this maid was definitely not among them. She got into the wing without being questioned by the soldiers on stand because they might have thought she was assigned that day.Bella stepped forward, watching from the doorway. And what she saw made her blood turn cold.The nanny placed the baby girl on the bed, turned away, and reached into her pocket for a small round object—a bead

    The news spread through the mansion in minutes. A boy and a girl. The Don’s heirs.By late afternoon, the entire household was gathered in the grand hall, waiting for Dante to arrive and speak.Soldiers stood straighter than usual. Maids whispered excitedly. Even the older capos looked brighter, as if the birth itself brought luck to the family.Dante walked in with Signor Belini beside him, looking exhausted but taller somehow. Pride sat on his shoulders like a new coat. His shirt sleeves were still rolled up from the hospital, and he looked like a man who hadn’t slept but didn’t care.“Thank you,” Dante began, his voice steady. “Both children and their mother are healthy.”A warm wave of applause spread through the hall.Dante waited for the noise to settle before continuing.Dante continued, “My son is Antonio Alessandro Moretti.”He paused as the hall murmured in approval.“And my daughter is Sofia

    Dante arrived before anyone could call him. He must have heard the shouts from inside. He ran down the path, eyes wide the moment he saw Rose doubled over in pain.“Rose!” He reached her, taking her from Bella’s hold. “I’ve got you, amore. Look at me.”The doctor and several guards rushed out seconds later.“Take her to the medical wing,” the doctor ordered.Dante lifted Rose into his arms, holding her like something precious and fragile. She was breathing hard, face pale but determined. He kissed her forehead, whispering something only she could hear.They rushed through the hallways, straight to the villa’s hospital room.Elena followed. Bella followed too. Bianca stayed behind, stunned and silent.The hospital wing smelled of antiseptic and warm air. Nurses were already waiting at the entrance with a gurney.“Put her here, Don—careful,” one of them said.“I’ve got her,” Dante muttered, setting Rose d

    Dante sat alone in his study, the weight of Luca’s words pressing hard against his chest. Step down as Don. Or be destroyed publicly.Luca had said it so casually, like he wasn’t talking about tearing down an entire dynasty. Like all of this was just a game he planned to win either way.Dante leaned back in his chair, rubbing a hand over his face. The bastard had timed everything perfectly.The constant disruptions in the mansion, the quiet provocation with soldiers, the little sparks he dropped in every corner of the house — it was all building toward this moment.And Dante couldn’t move. Not yet. Not while that video existed.He sat there for a long time, the room dim, the house quiet. Every instinct in him screamed to drag Luca out by the throat and end everything once and for all.But if Luca released that video… Bella’s life would be ruined. The family name would fall apart. Everything would burn.He wasn’t afraid o

    Luca rubbed his neck as a distraught cough left his throat.That devil Bella had to insult him in such a way, he was so tempted to hit her so badly but he had to refrain from doing such.Now, he was going to play his game, he couldn't wait for him to get the throne, he would show that invalid who he truly was.And indeed, he started causing trouble in small ways.Dante walked into the dining hall to find two of his senior men arguing loudly with each other—something that never happened in the Moretti house.One was shouting that his patrol routes had been changed without his permission. Another swore someone sent a false message ordering him off duty.Dante stepped in and cleared it immediately, but the damage was done. Every man in that room had seen chaos where order should have been.Later that same day, the chef informed Dante that a bulk order for the Moretti supply store had been cancelled… under Dante’s authority.

    Morning light filtered weakly through the Moretti windows, but the house still felt tense from the calamity the night before.Dante pushed open Rose’s door quietly. Rose sat up on the bed, wrapped in a robe, her hands resting on her stomach in a protective way.“Are you okay?” his voice was low.“I’m fine,” she said. She looked tired, but unharmed.Dante sat beside her, brushing a hand over her forehead as if making sure. “Has the doctor checked you this morning?”Rose looked up. “I am fine, Dante. Did you later find out what happened?”Dante didn’t answer immediately, but the tightness in his jaw was enough.He kissed her forehead and lied. “It was a fault from one of the soldiers who was smoking a cigarette.”Rose looked at him and nodded.“He had been punished for being so careless,” Dante said. After stroking Rose’s hair till she fell asleep, he left the room.***Bella sat at her

  • Married to the ruthless Billionaire Mafia   You won't break me

    The lock snapped shut behind him. The corridor fell quiet, broken only by the steady tap of his shoes on the marble floor. He did not look back. Rose’s defiance still echoed in his ears. You won’t break me. Foolish girl. Everyone broke. It was only a matter of time. He reached the end of the cor

  • Married to the ruthless Billionaire Mafia   The untouchable Moretti

    Rose sat stiffly before the mirror as the servants powdered her cheeks, lined her eyes, and pinned her hair back in a sleek twist that made her look older and untouchable.When they slipped the deep emerald dress over her, catching against her pale skin, she was almost startled at the re

    It was lunch period and Rose was summoned to the dining room lit by a chandelier whose glow fell harshly on polished wood and silver cutlery. The table could have seated thirty, but tonight only a handful of men occupied it. Their dark suits made the room feel heavier, colder.Rose’s steps echoed

  • Married to the ruthless Billionaire Mafia   Noone is coming to save you

    Rose stood by the window, staring out at the sprawling gardens beneath the mansion. The view from her wing was breathtaking…green fields rolling into the hills, and the sky slowly darkening as the evening approached. But none of it reached her. Not really.The room was beautiful. It was hard to den
