Chapter 122

|| SANCIA's POV ||

It had been two weeks since Anastasia came to live with us.

At first, things were peaceful. Too peaceful.

And that’s when I knew something terrible was coming.

I was in the nursery, rocking Seth in my arms, when the news broke.

It came in a storm — phone calls, text messages, even reporters outside our gates.

I watched in horror as Vincenzo came storming into the room, his face livid.

“Sancia,” he said, his voice low and dangerous. “Turn on the news.”

My fingers shook as I grabbed the remote. The TV flashed on — and there it was.

Rossie. Standing in front of cameras.

Holding up… a forged DNA report.

"The truth must come out," Rossie was saying, her voice dripping with false grief. "Seth is not Vincenzo Russo’s real son. The future of the Russo family must be protected from deception!"

I gasped, clutching Seth closer to my chest as if I could shield him from the poisonous lies spreading across the screen.

“No,” I whispered. “No, this can’t be happening…”

    Chapter 148|| REINALDO's POV ||I had stood in front of the mirror in my groom's outfit, adjusting the cuff that refused to sit straight, when the world had ended behind me.The room smelled faintly of flowers and starch, of new fabric and old hopes. White roses lay on the table, their petals perfect, untouched. I remembered thinking, absurdly, that Anna would scold whoever had chosen white because she preferred wildflowers-messy, alive, imperfect. Smiling at that thought, I turned around.That was when I saw her.Anna was lying on the floor where the sunlight should have touched her face. Blood was spreading beneath her, a dark, ruthless shadow, soaking into the carpet, staining everything it touched. Her dress was torn, the gentle color of it ruined, her skin pale in a way that seized my chest tight. For a moment, my brain refused to understand what my eyes were seeing. I just kept standing, frozen in my groom’s suit, breathing an air that now felt poisoned.“No,” I whispered. The

    Chapter 147Book 3 - The Duke's Purchased Bride|| ANASTASIA’s POV || White drapes fluttered from every railing. Gold ribbons shimmered against the winter breeze. Flowers were everywhere—too perfect, too polished, too fitting for a wedding that shouldn’t have existed.I stopped the car a little farther from the front entrance so no one would pay attention to us. The music echoed faintly from inside—violins, slow melodies, the kind guests pretended to enjoy while gossiping behind champagne glasses.Mia shifted in the passenger seat beside me. Her fingers had been trembling on her lap, and her breathing was uneven. She had been staring at the mansion like it was a monster ready to swallow us whole.“Anastasia, please…” Mia’s voice had cracked. “We should leave. Let’s just forget this. We can still turn around. No one has seen us yet.”I didn’t look at her immediately. My gaze stayed fixed on the mansion as if it had dared me to step inside. My jaw tightened, and I exhaled slowly.“Mia,

    Chapter 146|| SERGIO's POV ||The church was suffocating.Even in my hidden position near the side entrance, I could feel the tension radiating from every marble pillar and velvet-draped pew. The chandeliers hung heavy above the guests, their crystals shimmering like they mocked us all.Outside, Russia’s gray skies promised a storm.I adjusted the earpiece in my ear, hearing the faint static."Now or never," I whispered to myself.Valeria walked down the aisle like a ghost, wrapped in white lace, her head bowed so low it looked like she was carrying the weight of the world. My chest clenched at the sight of her — so beautiful, so broken.Prince Leonard stood there at the altar, smiling like he already owned her. Bastard.I moved swiftly along the side of the church, careful not to draw attention. The distraction was already set: the fire alarm would trigger in exactly three minutes, courtesy of a little help from the staff I'd bribed.I kept my eyes locked on her — on Valeria — as if

    Chapter 145|| VALERIA's POV ||The heavy doors of the mansion slammed shut behind me with a loud thud, echoing down the empty hallways.I stood there, my hands trembling at my sides, feeling like a prisoner walking into her own execution.My father’s voice cut through the silence, sharp and cold."To my study. Now."I swallowed hard and followed him, my footsteps dragging against the marble floors.Inside the study, the air was thick with the scent of old books, whiskey, and rage.He didn’t even sit behind the grand oak desk like he usually did.No — he stood by the window, his back to me, staring out into the night."You humiliated me," he said without turning around."I—"I opened my mouth, but no words came out. What could I even say?"You were seen at the airport, Valeria. Trying to run like a coward."He finally turned, his eyes blazing."You think the world is a fairy tale? You think you can just run away from responsibilities?""I was trying to save myself!" I burst out, the w
