Alessandro’s POV

The hall had finally calmed after the drinks were served. The earlier tension — the whispers, the disapproving glares, the silent judgement from every La Camorra table — was dissolving under the rhythm of soft jazz and clinking glasses. The chandeliers cast a golden glow across the hall, refracting against crystal and silk. Everything looked perfect again.

Almost too perfect.

I sat back, watching the scene, with a practiced smile, though my mind refused to rest. That small disruption with the drinks — someone had engineered it, I could feel it. I called Damian closer and told him to find out why the truck had been delayed and, more importantly, how it had suddenly arrived right in time. He nodded and disappeared into the crowd, and I let my gaze wander again.

But I couldn't find her.

Amara.

She had vanished after the incident with the drink. I had searched the hall twice, pretending to check on the guests while my eyes hunted for her — the quiet girl who

  • OWNED BY THE ENEMY: His Dark Claim   Chapter 133

    Amara’s POVEver since I returned from the hospital after what happened with Ginevra, Alessandro and I had not spoken—not properly. Not the way we always did.At first, Damian kept saying Alessandro was busy. That he was tied up with work in Genoa. Then the words changed. Alessandro was almost done. He just needed to wrap things up. He would be home soon.I believed him.Or maybe I wanted to.I held on to the image of Alessandro walking back through the door the same way he left—calm, steady, alive. That hope was the only thing keeping my heart from collapsing under the weight of waiting. But as the days passed, patience slowly turned into fear. A quiet fear at first. Then a louder one.Something felt wrong.I couldn’t explain it, but my body knew before my mind could accept it.And today proved me right.My phone buzzed while I was sitting alone, one hand resting on my stomach, the other clutching the edge of the couch as it could anchor me. I glanced at the screen, expecting nothing

    Victor’s POV Matteo went home that night with the intention of teaching Alessandro a lesson—not destroying him. That part mattered. As much as my words had poisoned his thoughts, Matteo still wanted to believe there was a better way. He told himself he would talk. That he would look Alessandro in the eye and demand the truth. That if Alessandro explained himself—if there was even a shred of honesty left—then maybe things wouldn’t have to end the way I knew they would. But belief is fragile. And it shattered the moment Matteo stepped into his room. He felt it immediately—that shift in the air, the faint disorder only someone intimate with his space would notice. A drawer is not fully closed. The bed was disturbed. Something moved. Someone had been there. And there was only one person it could be. Alessandro. That single realization doubled the hurt inside Matteo’s chest. It wasn’t just suspicion anymore—it was confirmation. To Matteo, it felt like betrayal stacked on betraya

    Alessandro’s POV Matteo showed up later, when the sun was already high in the sky. He looked… different. Not tired. Not irritated. If anything, he looked like a man who had just recovered something precious he thought was lost. That strange glow was written all over his face. I didn’t ask where he had been or what had happened. I convinced myself it must have been a bad transaction with a client—nothing unusual in his line of work. And asking questions now would only make me seem suspicious. So I waited, letting him speak first, if he chose to. He went straight to his room. The silence that followed was heavy. I knew immediately he had noticed. The room wasn’t the way he left it. No matter how careful I’d tried to be, some things couldn’t be unseen. When he came back out, his eyes told me everything—I was already caught. Before he could say a word, I decided to get ahead of it. “The room was messy,” I said quickly. “So I decided to clean it up. I needed something to pass the t

    Victor’s POVEven after I slid Alessandro’s picture across the table, Matteo didn’t understand immediately.He stared at it for a long moment, brows drawn together, confusion outweighing suspicion. I could almost see his mind searching for meaning that wasn’t there yet. That was when I reached into my jacket and brought out the second picture—the insignia, the faces, the unmistakable mark of La Camorra.The moment his eyes landed on it, everything changed.Shock hit first. Then disappointment. Then fear—raw and unfiltered.His shoulders stiffened, his jaw tightening as the truth finally sank in. I didn’t rush him. Men like Matteo needed a second to fully feel the fall before you explained how far down it went.“La Camorra sent Alessandro,” I said calmly. “Not as a friend. As a spy. To watch you. To confirm everything you’ve been doing.”I didn’t need to add much more. Matteo already knew what this meant. He had shown Alessandro everything—his routes, his clients, his habits. He hadn’t

    Alessandro’s POV I hadn’t given up. No matter how many times Damian warned me, no matter how carefully he chose his words, the decision stayed rooted in me. Matteo could still be redeemed. I believed that—stubbornly, irrationally, maybe even dangerously—but I believed it all the same. I told Damian to look through any of my inherited businesses, anything legitimate enough, quiet enough, where Matteo could work without raising suspicion. Something far from Genoa’s shadows. Something that could give him a reason to stop running. Damian said he would work on it. But I knew him too well. Beneath his agreement was resistance, heavy and unspoken. He wanted me to stop. He wanted me to let Matteo fall and step back into the safety of La Camorra’s approval. To him, this was already a lost cause. Damian knew me, though. He knew once I fixed my mind on something, pulling me away from it was like trying to stop a storm with bare hands. That was why he hadn’t argued further—because h

    Victor’s POVThe way Don Francesco dismissed me that day did something ugly to my pride.It wasn’t just anger—it was desperation.The kind that crawls under your skin and refuses to let you breathe until you prove yourself. Until you matter. Until the world looks at you and sees more than a son living in someone else’s shadow.Don Francesco had looked at me like I was expendable. Like I was nothing but a tool he could discard the moment I stopped being useful. And I couldn’t allow that. Not after everything I’d done. Not after everything I was still willing to do.I wanted to prove to him that I was capable. That I was dangerous. That I could accomplish what even he wouldn’t dare attempt.Destroying Alessandro Vitale.Not just hurting him. Not inconveniencing him. Not forcing him into retreat.Destroying him.I had planned to wait a little longer. Let Alessandro enjoy Genoa. Let him feel safe. Let him believe his little undercover act was going exactly as planned.But patience suddenl
