The silence in the hall was deadly. Elena's heart pounded as she stared at Antonio, confusion and fear twisting in her chest.

"Antonio," she whispered. "What are you doing here?"

Victoria stepped forward, her smile bright and fake. "Dante, meet my cousin Antonio. He's been handling business for us."

Elena's world spun. "Cousin?"

"Small world, right?" Victoria linked her arm through Antonio's. "When Antonio told me he ran into an old friend today, I was so surprised."

Antonio smiled, but his eyes were cold. "Victoria told me all about you, Elena. Though she didn't mention how... intimate you and Dante are."

The way he said 'intimate' made Elena's skin crawl.

"We're not..." Elena started.

"Oh, please," Antonio laughed. "Elena, you don't need to lie anymore. We know each other too well for that."

Elena frowned. "What do you mean?"

Antonio stepped closer, his voice dropping. "Come on, baby. After everything we shared? All those nights together?"

Elena's blood turned to ice. "What are you t

    The gallery felt like home after a week in hell. Elena breathed in the familiar scent of restoration chemicals and old canvas, Franco and Giuseppe shadowing her every move."Elena!" Lucia rushed over, then stopped. "Madonna, you smell like desperation. What's wrong?"Elena forced a smile. "Just tired. Papa's death hit harder than expected."Lucia's eyes narrowed, studying her face. "This isn't tired. And who are those men?""Security," Elena said quickly. "I'll explain later. Right now I need to work.""Security? Since when do you have money for...""Later, Lucia. Please."The morning passed restoring damaged paintings. For precious hours, Elena forgot her nightmare. Around noon, she stepped outside for air when someone called her name."Elena?"She spun around. Antonio Ricci stood there, tall and devastatingly handsome in his tailored suit. Recognition hit like lightning."Antonio!" She threw her arms around him. "It's been ages!"He pulled back, grinning. "After all these years, I on

    The confrontation was interrupted by the arrival of Marco, Dante's younger brother. Unlike Dante's cold demeanor, Marco's danger was masked by charm and easy smiles."Ladies," he said, his eyes taking in their tense postures. "Not playing nice, are we?"Victoria immediately transformed, her grip loosening as she turned a brilliant smile toward Marco. "Just getting to know our new friend better."Marco's gaze lingered on Elena's wrist, where Victoria's fingers had left red marks. "My brother wouldn't be pleased to see his property damaged."The word 'property' stung, but Elena kept her expression neutral. "I'm fine.""Good." Marco offered his arm with exaggerated gallantry. "Because I've been instructed to bring you to the main house. Dante wants a word."Victoria's face tightened with jealousy as Elena was led away, though she was too smart to voice her displeasure in front of Marco.As they walked, Marco studied her profile. "You're either the bravest woman I've met, or the most fooli

    "This was a mistake," Dante finally said.The words hung in the air like shattered glass, cutting deep into Elena's already wounded heart. She felt herself go cold, numbness spreading through her limbs as the afterglow of their passionate encounter abruptly vanished."A mistake," she repeated, her voice hollow. She pulled the sheet around her naked body, suddenly aware of her vulnerability. "Just like that?"Dante rose from the bed, his muscled back turned to her as he reached for his discarded pants. The scars crisscrossing his skin told stories of violence she couldn't begin to imagine. He was a stranger now, this man who had once been her entire world."What did you expect?" he asked, his voice devoid of emotion as he dressed. "That one fuck would erase twelve years? That it would make me forget what your family did to mine?"Elena flinched at the crude description of what had just transpired between them. "My family? What are you talking about?"Dante turned, his eyes cold. "Playi

    Victoria froze, then quickly composed herself. "Clean her up," she ordered the other women. "And remember, she fell. If any of you say otherwise..." The threat remained unfinished but understood.The women released Elena, who staggered slightly. Victoria smoothed her dress, replacing her ring."This isn't over," she whispered to Elena before turning a brilliant smile toward the door as Dante's footsteps approached.He entered the room like a storm front, his presence immediately dominating the space. His eyes swept over the scene, Elena with blood on her face, the broken glass, Victoria's too-bright smile, the other women's nervous expressions."What happened?" His voice was deceptively quiet.Victoria stepped forward. "An unfortunate accident. Elena was exploring and tripped. We were just helping her.""Get out," Dante cut her off, his gaze never leaving Elena's face. "All of you."The other women scurried out immediately. Victoria hesitated."Dante, darling""I said get out," he rep

    Elena woke disoriented, sunlight streaming through unfamiliar windows. For a moment, she forgot where she was, then reality crashed back. Castellano's auction. Dante's intervention. This gilded cage.She sat up in the king-sized bed of the connecting bedroom, taking stock. Someone had unpacked her meager belongings, arranging them neatly in the walk-in closet alongside new clothing still bearing price tags. On the dresser sat her few photographs and personal items, carefully placed as if to offer comfort in strange surroundings.The bed beside hers, Dante's bed through the connecting door, was empty and perfectly made. Had he slept there at all? Or had he spent the night with Victoria after concluding his "business"?The thought sent an unwelcome stab of something too close to jealousy through her chest. Elena pushed it away. She had no claim on Dante Valenti, nor did she want one. He was her captor, not her lover, regardless of what they'd once been to each other.She showered in the
