Aurea’s POV

"Rea, eat your toast before your mind wanders off to another planet," Alessia’s gentle voice broke through my thoughts.

I blinked, pulling myself out of my daze, and looked down at the small plate she had pushed in front of me in the staff kitchen. It was barely 6:45 AM. My appetite was completely nonexistent, but Alessia was watching me like a hawk, her eyes filled with protective, sisterly concern.

I forced a small smile and took a tiny bite of the dry toast. My mind was spinning.

  • No Escape From Them    Chapter 105

    Nina’s POV The neon pulse of the club danced across the VIP booth as the music vibrated through the floorboards. Nina sat with her legs crossed, idly twirling a glass of champagne in her hand while Natasha and her friends laughed loudly over the music. At first, Nina barely noticed the passage of time. Aurea had only stepped away to use the washroom.Five minutes passed.Nina glanced down at her glowing phone screen, taking a slow sip from her glass. She figured Aurea was probably just waiting in line or getting some fresh air. There was no reason to panic.Then ten minutes passed.A faint prickle of unease began to settle in the pit of Nina’s stomach. Aurea wasn't the type to linger in a crowded club restroom, especially not in a dark dress she had already felt self-conscious wearing. Pulling up her phone, Nina quickly typed out a text.Nina: Hey sweetie, everything okay down there? You’ve been gone a while.She hit send, watching the screen attentively. The message went through, bu

    Alessia A loud, seething crash shattered the silence of the private hotel suite.A crystal vase collided with the wall, exploding into hundreds of gleaming shards that rained down across the expensive floor. Glass shattered, water splashed everywhere."Damn it! Damn it!" Alessia shrieked, her voice shrill and trembling with unbridled rage.She turned toward the vanity table, her face twisted in an ugly mask of fury. Her hands swept across the surface, sending everything on the table flying across the room. They slammed into the walls and floor, creating a chaotic storm of noise that echoed off the high ceilings."How?! How does that worthless piece of shit get away every single time?!" Alessia screamed, pacing back and forth like a caged animal. Her chest was heaving, her eyes bloodshot with anger. "We planned everything! Everything was under control! She was supposed to be entirely ruined in front of everyone at the Gala! She was supposed to be disgraced, thrown out of the family, a

    Aurea's POV The night at the Valli estate wrapped up warmly, and before long, the driver dropped both Nina and me off at her apartment downtown. The moment the doors shut behind us, I tossed my handbag onto the marble counter, letting out a long sigh of relief."Finally!" Nina cheered, throwing her arms in the air. "No brothers and no family drama. Tonight, Aurea, we live!"I smiled, settling into the plush cushions of her sofa, but my quiet relaxation was short-lived. Nina marched straight toward her spacious walk-in closet and began dragging out dresses, bags, heels, and makeup cases with a frightening level of determination."Alright, fashion show time," Nina announced, tossing a sleek black hanger onto my lap. "This is what you're wearing."I held up the piece of fabric and immediately gasped. It was a scandalously short, form-fitting black dress with a sweetheart neckline and thin spaghetti straps. It looked like it barely had enough material to cover my thighs."Nina, absolutel

    Aurea’s POV The morning sun filtered brightly through the towering windows of the master suite, illuminating the two imposing figures standing at the foot of the bed. Vincenzo was adjusting the cuffs of his suit, while Valerius was casually strapping on a polished leather wristwatch.I sat up against the headboard, pulling the duvet up over my chest."The doctor will be here in five minutes to check your hand and clear you before we head out," Valerius said, his voice leaving zero room for negotiation.I frowned, looking down at my hand and flexing my fingers. "Vincenzo, Valerius, honestly, my hand has been fine for a long time now," I said, my voice slightly raspy as I looked up at them. "It was just a small scratch. You really don't need to call a doctor for a tiny bandage."Vincenzo stepped up to the edge of the bed, leaning over me until his intense gaze locked onto mine. "We aren't asking for your opinion, piccola," he whispered, his fingers cupping my chin, tilting my face up s

    Vincenzo & Valerius The heavy oak doors of the master suite clicked shut as Vincenzo and Valerius stepped into the room. It was past midnight, and the grueling demands of running both their empires had drained them of energy. Yet, the moment they crossed the threshold, the exhaustion weighing down their broad shoulders vanished, replaced by an instinctual, magnetic pull that drew them toward the bedroom.They moved like silent shadows across the room toward the massive king-sized bed.There, wrapped in the dark silk sheets, was Aurea.She was fast asleep, her soft breathing creating a steady, rise and fall of the duvet. Her hair was spread wildly across the pillows, framing her delicate, flushed face. In the dim light filtering through the windows, she looked so ethereal, so pure, that both men stopped dead in their tracks at the foot of the bed.For a long, heavy moment, neither brother moved. They simply stood there in silence, their heated, possessive gazes hungrily taking in ever

    Aurea's POV Continuing further down the east wing, the luxury decor slowly shifted into something older, more subdued. The walls here were thick stone, and the lighting was dimmer. At the very end of a narrow hallway, I stumbled upon a heavy iron door. It looked completely out of place compared to the rest of the doors. Curiously, I stepped up to the mysterious door and reached out, lightly grabbing the heavy handle. I pulled, but the door remained entirely solid and unyielding. The scanner blinked red once, emitting a quiet, low beep.A restricted area, I thought, raising an eyebrow. Probably where they keep their important stuff. Definitely not something I should be poking around in.Deciding not to push my luck, I turned on my heel and began making my way back toward the main entrance leading outside.Stepping out through the French doors, the fresh afternoon breeze hit my face, carrying the sweet, delicate scent of flowers. I walked down the steps into the mansion gardens-and fr
