“Good. I will reward you when we get home.”

“Mr. Giordani!” someone called behind us.

Adriano’s body tensed beside me. When he turned, the warmth vanished from his eyes, replaced by something cold and predatory.

“Oh. It is you.”

“It’s nice meeting you here, sir,” the stranger replied, before turning his gaze to me. “And who might this be?”

“My wife.” The pride in Adriano’s voice was fake, but it sounded convincing. “Azalea Amara De Luca.”

My blood turned to ice. Why had he said my full name? It felt like he was marking me, claiming ownership of me in front of everyone.

“Ah, it is Madam.” The man held out his hand, and I forced myself to take it. “It is a real pleasure.”

“The pleasure is mine,” I said, forcing a smile despite the nerves fluttering in my chest.

“Enough with the pleasantries. What can I do for you, Mr. Luke?” Adriano suddenly asked, cutting through the polite conversation.

“I have a business opportunity that might interest you, sir.”

    Azalea“Are you ready, honey?” Adriano asked as he walked into our bedroom. I turned around to face him, my breath catching in my throat.He wore a perfectly fitted black suit that made his dark eyes look even more intense. His hair was styled back, and he looked like he had stepped out of a magazine.“Are you done looking?” he teased, his lips curving into that knowing smile that always made my heart skip.Heat rushed to my cheeks as I quickly looked away. “What do you mean?” I pretended not to understand, but we both knew I had been staring.He crossed the room in two quick steps and wrapped his strong arms around my waist from behind. “You know exactly what I mean,” he whispered against my ear.His warm breath on my neck sent shivers down my spine. My heart was beating so fast I was sure he could feel it through my back.When I turned in his arms, Adriano stared deep into my eyes. “Honey,” he said softly, and something in his voice made my knees weak.My face felt like it was on fi

    Azalea“Is this really you?” I whispered, still not believing what I was seeing. “Are you really Adriano?”He laughed softly, but it made him wince from the pain in his chest. “Who else would I be?”“But you’re so... different. You’re being nice to me. Gentle. The Adriano I knew before would never act like this.”“The Adriano you knew before was an idiot,” he interrupted quietly. “A man so caught up in his pride and anger that he almost lost the most important thing in his life.”He lifted his hand and gently touched my cheek, wiping away a tear I didn’t even know had fallen.“When I saw that gun pointed at you,” he continued, his voice rough with emotion, “when I thought I might lose you forever, everything became clear. Nothing else matters, not my reputation, not my business, not even my own life. Nothing matters except you.”“Adriano...” I whispered, overwhelmed by how sincere he sounded.“I know I’ve done terrible things,” he said, regret filling his voice. “I know I’ve hurt you

    Azalea“No!” I cried, dropping to my knees beside Adriano’s bleeding body. “Why did you do that? Why did you take that bullet for me?”Despite the pain and the blood spreading across his white shirt, he managed to give me a weak smile. “Because,” he whispered, his voice barely audible, “I love you more than my own life.”“You stupid fool!” Leo screamed in pure rage. “You ruined my perfect plan! I wanted you to watch her die slowly, not jump in front of bullets like some hero!”But Leo’s angry words felt like distant noise. All I could focus on was the man bleeding in my arms, the man who had just proven that even someone called “the devil” could do something completely selfless for love.“Stay with me,” I whispered desperately, pressing my hands hard against his wound to try to stop the bleeding. “Please don’t leave me now. Not when I’m finally starting to understand what I really mean to you.”Adriano’s hand slowly reached up to touch my face, leaving a streak of his blood on my chee

    Azalea“Who are you?” Chiara demanded, her voice shaking but trying to sound brave. “Show yourself right now!”The way she was trying to act tough almost made me want to laugh, but nothing about this terrifying situation was funny.“Answer me—” Before she could finish her demand, another gunshot exploded through the air.“Ahh!” I screamed, curling myself into a tight ball on the cold floor. The room was completely dark, and we couldn’t see who was shooting at us.“The devil,” a cold, familiar voice replied from somewhere in the shadows. “And I’m here to take your life.”Another gunshot rang out, followed by the heavy sound of bodies hitting the floor. Then suddenly, bright lights flooded the room, and I could see him clearly.My heart stopped.Standing there like a nightmare come to life was the man who had haunted my dreams for an entire year. The man I had tried so desperately to escape from. The only man I knew who could kill without even blinking. The same man I had stolen from.A

    AzaleaThe hatred in Chiara’s eyes was real and terrifying. In that moment, I realized with growing horror that she wasn’t here to rescue me. She was here because she saw me as a threat to her relationship with Leo.She had no idea what kind of monster she was engaged to.“Tell me,” she snapped, her voice rising as she grabbed the hem of my dress. “Why should I believe a single word that comes out of your lying mouth, bitch?”“Please, Chiara, just listen to me,” I begged, trying to stay calm. “Leo is not who you think he is. He’s a monster. He kidnapped me and threatened to hurt my sister if I didn’t cooperate.”“You expect me to believe that?” she yelled, pushing me hard against the wall. Her eyes were filled with rage as she glared at me. “You’re just making excuses because you got caught!”I could see the pain behind her anger. She really loved him, and she thought I had betrayed her.“I told you everything about him,” she continued, her voice breaking slightly. “I showed you his p

    AzaleaThe door clicked shut. I stayed frozen on the floor, with my knees pressed against the cold marble tiles and my arms hanging limp at my sides. My breathing came in shallow, uneven gasps.My entire body trembled, not from the chill in the air-conditioned room, but from the terror that had settled deep into my bones.Emily. Her family. Amira.His words echoed in my mind.Emily and her family died because of you.I pressed my hands against my chest, trying to hold my shattered heart together. I wanted to scream, to rage, to deny it all, but the sound died in my throat.Was it true? Had innocent people died simply because I existed? Because I’d somehow stumbled into Cassian’s—no, Leo’s—twisted game?I didn’t know how long I knelt there, lost in a storm of guilt and fear, but at some point, I dragged myself to the bed and curled into the smallest shape I could make. I clutched a pillow against me like it could shield me from the memories clawing their way in.Leo had lied about every
