Amara’s POV

It started the moment I saw Salvo.

He hadn’t even spoken yet.

He hadn’t handed anyone anything.

But my body reacted before my mind could catch up with what I was seeing. My fingers tightened around the fabric in my hands. My breath shortened without permission. Something cold settled in my chest the way it always did whenever Victor’s name appeared where it shouldn’t.

Salvo never came without a reason.

And never with good news.

I tried to steady myself before anyone noticed.

  • OWNED BY THE ENEMY, His Dark Claim   Chapter 220

    Alessandro’s POV I accepted the suspension. I accepted hearing the Vitale name whispered across the room like something fragile and already broken. I even accepted the quiet laughter that followed us when the meeting ended. What I could not accept— was Victor’s appointment. Not because he received a position. But because of which position he received. That title was not something a man simply stepped into. It carried history. Blood. Consequences. So when the meeting ended, I didn’t leave with the others. I walked straight toward Don Francesco. Before I could even speak, he turned to me with a knowing smile. “It took you long enough to come and ask for forgiveness,” he said. “If you’re here for my help, I’m not offering it. I warned you that girl would be your biggest mistake.” I held his gaze steadily. “I didn’t come to beg for forgiveness,” I replied calmly. “And I didn’t come asking for support.” His smile faded slightly. “I came to ask why you gave that position

  • OWNED BY THE ENEMY, His Dark Claim   Chapter 219

    Victor’s POV La Camorra called an urgent meeting this morning. By the time I arrived, nearly every man was already there. Every chair was occupied. Every voice was lowered. Every face carried the same expression—curiosity pretending to be concern. Only one seat remained empty. Don Epifanio’s. And honestly, I understood why. A man like him—one who had spent decades building his name on discipline, reputation, and control—does not simply walk into a room full of men after becoming the subject of their quiet laughter overnight. Respect, once cracked in this world, never returns whole. Still, his absence didn’t surprise me. What surprised me— was Alessandro. He arrived not long after I did. With Damian beside him. I studied him carefully as he walked in. No hesitation. No visible anger. No shame. No alcohol on his breath. No signs of collapse. For a brief moment, I had expected something different. A man in his position usually disappears for a few days. Usually d

  • OWNED BY THE ENEMY, His Dark Claim   Chapter 218

    Alessandro’s POV After I left Don Epifanio’s estate, I didn’t drive far. I only made it to the roadside before stopping the car. I stayed there longer than I intended to. Long enough for Damian to find me. He didn’t ask questions when he arrived. He never did when it mattered. “How are things over there?” I asked him. “People are leaving,” he replied. That was expected. “What about Amara?” I asked next. “She’s still there.” Something tightened in my chest. “She didn’t come with her car, boss,” Damian continued carefully. “Signora Rebecca already left. She might have to take a taxi home.” For a moment, I said nothing. I told myself it wasn’t my concern anymore. That I had already heard everything I needed to hear. That I had already seen enough. But the thought of her standing there alone— after what had just happened— after what she had just admitted— didn’t sit right with me. “Get back into the car,” I said finally. Damian didn’t hesitate. “We’re going back t

    Marco’s POV Strangely enough, everything happening the way it did might have been inevitable. Maybe even necessary. At least now Victor had nothing left to manipulate. No more secrets to twist. No more silence to use against us. So I stayed where I was and watched the reactions unfold around me. One by one. Shock. Anger. Disbelief. Humiliation. It spread across the courtyard like fire. Laura’s reaction didn’t surprise me. When she stepped forward and slapped me, I didn’t stop her. I didn’t even try. “How can you stand there like this doesn’t concern you?” she demanded. “You should be begging for my forgiveness!” But I couldn’t give her what she wanted. Not an apology. Not remorse. Not even an explanation. Because the truth was— I had only just learned that Venera was my daughter. Not long ago. And I was still trying to understand what that meant. Still trying to understand what I was supposed to feel. Still trying to understand what I had already lost withou

  • OWNED BY THE ENEMY, His Dark Claim   Chapter 216

    Amara’s POV From the moment Victor discovered my secret, I knew this day would come. I just didn’t know it would happen like this. Not here. Not in front of everyone. Not in front of La Camorra. And certainly not in front of Alessandro. Watching them laugh at him— watching the respect he carried so effortlessly begin to crack in front of those men— hurt more than anything Victor could have said to me personally. And now, because of me, Alessandro had also made an enemy of Don Epifanio. I never wanted things to reach this point. But I also didn’t want to keep lying to him anymore. Not after everything he had given me. Not after everything he believed about us. So when he asked me the question— when he looked at me with those eyes that still trusted me even then— I told him the truth. Because he deserved the truth. Even if it destroyed him. Even if it destroyed us. I watched the tears fall from his eyes. And something inside me broke complet

  • OWNED BY THE ENEMY, His Dark Claim   Chapter 215

    Alessandro’s POV I stood there watching Victor speak. Listening to him accuse the woman I loved. Listening to him accuse my child. He said many things. Too many things. Some of them hurt more than I expected. He said Amara and Marco had known each other before our marriage. That part— that part struck deeper than I wanted to admit. Because suddenly, the small moments I had ignored began returning to me. The way she behaved around Marco. The restroom incident. The envelope Salvo delivered. The argument between her and Marco at Victor’s house. Piece by piece, those memories began arranging themselves into something I did not want to understand. But even then— there was one accusation I refused to accept. The worst one. Victor said Venera was Marco’s child. Not mine. That wasn’t just a lie. It was impossible. Venera was the only good thing that came out of a night neither of us had planned but both of us had lived with afterward. Our wedding night. A mistake. Y

  • OWNED BY THE ENEMY, His Dark Claim   Chapter 173

    Alessandro’s POV When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was the empty space beside me. Amara wasn’t there. At first, I assumed she was in the bathroom. I stayed in bed, staring at the ceiling, waiting to hear the door open or the sound of running water stop. But minutes passed. Nothi

  • OWNED BY THE ENEMY, His Dark Claim   Chapter 172

    Marco’s POV I barely slept since I came back to Rome. At first, I blamed it on staying at Victor’s place. His house always felt like a chessboard — every conversation a move, every silence a strategy. I thought once I moved to Laura’s, the tension would ease. It didn’t. It got worse. Because

  • OWNED BY THE ENEMY, His Dark Claim   Chapter 171

    Amara’s POV I woke up earlier than I ever had. The sky outside was still a soft shade of blue, the sun barely rising. For a moment, I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, listening to Alessandro’s steady breathing beside me. He was still asleep. Peaceful. Unaware. Carefully, I slipped out

  • OWNED BY THE ENEMY, His Dark Claim   Chapter 170

    Alessandro’s POV After Marco left, the silence in the study felt heavier than usual. I remained seated, a glass of whiskey untouched in front of me. The room still carried the tension from our conversation, like the walls themselves had heard too much. Before settling down, I had told Damian I
