Gianna.

I didn’t look away from her when the name dropped from my lips.

I was expecting her to ask who these people were and what they had done to me but she didn’t utter a word.

She didn’t react the way normal people would.

There was no shock, no judgment… nothing.

For a moment, neither of us spoke. The room felt heavier than before, like something unseen had shifted the moment I chose violence over survival.

Then she leaned back slightly, crossing her legs with a grace that felt too practiced

    Stefano.The door hadn’t even fully shut behind her when something snapped inside me.A low growl ripped from my chest as I swept my arm across the table, sending papers flying in every direction. Files scattered; the ash tray fell onto the floor with a loud clatter, the sharp sound echoing through the study, almost shaking the building.“How dare she…”My voice came out rough, edged with something darker than anger.I stared at the door like she was still standing there… like I could drag her back in and make her repeat every word she had just said.You’re going to be my last.My jaw tightened at the thought of that word, no one spoke to me like that… no one. And yet… she had without shaking, crying, or begging.She had stood there, bruised, broken… and still found the audacity to threaten me.My hands pressed harder against the table, my fingers curling against the wood as my chest rose and fell slowly, deliberately, trying to contain something that didn’t want to be contained.The

    Gianna.I was smiling at her not because I was happy… no.It was because I had finally learned how to hide what I felt.Luciana stood in front of me, the basket of herbs hanging loosely from her hand, but she wasn’t moving anymore. Not a single step.Her eyes… That was where it started… fear.I could see it vividly no matter how hard she tried to make it seem normal. She knew what was coming for her… she really knew.She knew something had changed in me. I wasn’t the same girl she talked down to or raised her hand to hit.“You know… Luciana,” I repeated softly, tilting my head just a little, letting the smile linger on my lips, “you’ve never really told me how your daughter died.”She was silent while she stared at me, her lips and hands trembling evenly.Her fingers tightened around the basket, the herbs rustling faintly. For a second, I thought she wouldn’t answer.Then her lips parted… But before a single word could leave them, the gates creaked open.Luciana’s head snapped toward

The room felt heavier than before, like something unseen had shifted the moment I chose violence over survival.Then she leaned back slightly, crossing her legs with a grace that felt too practiced to be ordinary.“My name,” she said slowly, her voice smooth like aged wine, “is Valentina Moretti.”The name settled into me, it sounded like power. Maybe she was more powerful than everyone else in the mafia family.She watched me carefully, like she was waiting to see if it meant anything to me.“Like I said earlier… I’m your godmother,” Valentina continued, her lips curving faintly, “and I’m here to help you.”I blinked once. “Why are you helping me?”“The life you’ve already stepped into,”

    Gianna.I woke up choking on air, and it felt like life was leaving me.My chest heaved violently, ribs protesting with every breath I dragged in, but my body… my body refused to move. It felt like I had been nailed to the ground, like every nerve had been beaten into submission.For a moment, I didn’t even remember where I was, then the pain came.It didn’t creep in gently. It slammed into me like a wave, sharp, burning, merciless. My back felt like it had been torn open, my skin raw, every inch of me screaming.A broken sound escaped my lips, that was when I realized I was on the floor. Right where Stefano had left me.My lashes fluttered weakly as I turned my head slightly, my cheek scraping against the cold tiles. The memory came back in flashes, whips cutting through my skin, the sting, the humiliation, his voice… deep, controlled, terrifying.A sob caught in my throat. I forced my eyes downward, and that was the worst mistake I could have made. My body… it was red and bruised wi

    Gianna.It was a deafening slap, the kind of slap that makes your cheeks burn like a torch was used on it.My head snapped to the side, the sound echoing through the garden like a gunshot.I staggered back, my vision spinning as heat exploded across my cheek. Tears blurred my eyes instantly, my hand flying to my face as I tried to steady myself.“Papa…” My voice came out broken, barely a whisper.I looked at him through blurred vision, my chest tightening painfully.That wasn’t my father, or maybe… it was.Just not the one who used to carry me to bed when I fell asleep on the couch. His face was hard, and cold, like a stone left too long under the desert sun.There was nothing in his eyes, no warmth, no love… no remorse.“Wipe those tears,” he said flatly.“What?” My voice cracked as I squinted my teary eyes.“You’ll need more of them from today onwards.”The words sank slowly, not in my heart but deeper into my stomach, that was where it sank.Then they ripped through me, dispersing

    Gianna.I felt a presence, which was the first thing I felt before I even opened my eyes. The eyes that watched me were heavy, close, and staring carefully.My lashes fluttered open slowly, my vision blurry at first… then it cleared, and I almost screamed.It was Luciana, she was bent over me, her face inches from mine, her sharp eyes scanning every inch of my expression like she was studying a corpse.I jerked backward with a gasp, my hand flying to my chest.“What the fuck!” I breathed, my heart pounding violently against my ribs. “Why would you do that?!”Luciana didn’t flinch; instead, she smiled calmly, almost amused.“I was wondering if you were dead,” she said simply, straightening up.My brows pulled together in disbelief. “Are you insane?”Her lips curved slightly, as my reaction entertained her.I dragged in a shaky breath, trying to steady myself as I pushed myself upright on the bed. My head throbbed faintly, like something was being used to hit it right in the middle.“Ho
