SARAH

It’s been two days since Marco set out his rules for me, and they’ve made me utterly miserable. I couldn’t forget the way he forced me into agreeing to his terms, the satisfaction gleaming in his eyes as he watched me crumble, helpless and with no choice but to sign it.

I hated him with every fiber of my being. Who does he think he is? I thought, my rage steaming beneath the surface. Every time I pictured his smug face, my blood boiled. The audacity of that man! To think he could control every aspect of my life like I was his puppet. I paced around my room, the walls closing in on me, suffocating me with the weight of his oppressive rules.

Curfews, restricted areas, dress codes, behavioral expectations—every detail annoyingly planned to strip away my freedom. I sneered at the silliness of it all, mocking the rules in my mind. Morning curfews? Like I was a child who needed to be told when to wake up. Restricted areas? Did he think I would stumble upon some dark secret that would

    SARAHI walked back into the room, trying to disappear into the crowd. My feet moved on their own. I didn’t feel the floor under me. Everything felt too warm, too loud, but at the same time, it was like I was underwater. I kept my eyes forward, pretending I wasn’t looking for Marco, pretending I didn’t feel the weight of every look thrown my way.The music changed. I felt it like a shift in the air. Slower, more elegant. Strings and soft piano. It wrapped around the room like silk. Maddalena’s voice followed right after, soft but sharp enough to cut through conversation.“A small family tradition,” she said, lifting her glass just slightly. “A moment for couples to walk the floor, for the cameras to remember tonight.”There were quiet smiles and a few chuckles. No one seemed surprised. Just ready.I felt my stomach turn. I knew what this was. It wasn’t a real dance. It was legacy dressed up in grace. A slow parade. One that screamed wealth and control and perfect appearances.Couples

    SOFIAI stepped away from Marco slowly, each step carrying the weight of everything I had just done. I didn’t turn around. There was no need. I had already seen what mattered. Sarah’s face had told me more than any words could. The tension around her mouth, the way her fingers twitched as if holding back from something, the way she stood like she didn’t know whether to stay or run.It was delicious.She was furious, and she was trying so hard to keep it locked in. Trying to be composed. But real emotion always slips through the cracks. Especially in women like her. The ones trying to pretend they belong in rooms they were never built for.I had done this long enough to recognize all the signs.Jealousy suited her. Better than that tight burgundy dress ever could. She wore it like second skin, like it had been waiting just under the surface for the right moment to break through. And I had given her that moment.My heels clicked softly on the marble as I made my way back toward the loun

    SARAHMarco stood frozen. His hand, which had just been resting on my waist, dropped slowly to his side. His entire body shifted, like he’d been hit by something invisible. I turned to see what he was staring at, but the answer reached me before my eyes could catch up.Sofia.She moved through the room like she didn’t see anyone else, like the air parted for her on command. Her dress hugged every curve. Her chin tilted high. Her eyes fixed on one person only—Marco.My chest felt tight before she even reached us. The sound around us dimmed.Marco didn’t move. He didn’t speak. His jaw was locked, his eyes unreadable. But not cold. Not angry. Just stunned.Sofia stopped in front of him with a smile that was too warm for someone unexpected.She stepped in and wrapped her arms around him without hesitation. Full embrace. Bold. Like they were lovers reunited after years apart. Her head leaned into his chest. Her body molded into his like she remembered how it fit.Marco didn’t respond. Not

    SARAH“You must be Sarah,” the woman said. Her voice was calm, almost kind, but her eyes stayed sharp.I stopped walking. My name in her mouth didn’t feel random. It felt planned.“Sorry,” I said, trying not to show anything. “Do I know you?”She smiled, slow and steady. “Not yet. I’m Sofia.”That name.I’d never heard it out loud before, but it felt familiar anyway. Like something Marco had never said, but I’d always known was there.She didn’t offer a handshake. Just looked at me with interest, the kind that felt too focused to be polite.Her eyes ran over my dress, then back to my face.“That color really works on you,” she said. “Burgundy’s not easy. You pull it off, though. Very bold.”“Thanks,” I said. “It was picked out for me.”“I figured.” Her voice dropped just slightly. “Maddalena’s taste never misses.”There was a silence I didn’t know how to fill.Before I could respond, another woman came up behind her. She was shorter, with cold eyes and a half-smile that didn’t move.“

    SARAHThe plates were cleared in silence. Waiters glided between the chairs, moving with calm precision. The clink of silverware and glass barely made a sound. The room didn’t buzz like before. It had quieted into something more focused, almost ceremonial.Then Maddalena stood.She picked up her wine glass and raised it slightly. Her back was straight, her face serene. The guests turned toward her without being asked. As soon as she opened her mouth and began to speak in Italian, the entire hall fell into stillness.I didn’t need to understand the language to feel the pull of her voice. It moved like smoke across the table, even and confident. Every sentence had rhythm. Every word had weight.Some of the guests nodded slowly. A few smiled. Others didn’t react at all, but they still raised their glasses when the moment called for it. I watched them. I watched their eyes, their posture, the way they seemed to listen with their bodies.I leaned a little toward Marco.“She said strength m

    SARAHThe moment the front doors opened, something shifted in the room. Conversations slowed without warning. Laughter stopped halfway through. The soft music that had been floating through the space seemed to lower itself, like even the speakers knew to quiet down. No announcement was made. No name was called. But everyone turned.Vittoria De Luca had arrived.She stepped inside with the calm presence of someone who never needed to ask for attention. The way she carried herself made it clear she was used to being obeyed. Her coat was long and black, with gold buttons that caught the chandelier light and threw it across the floor like scattered coins. Her heels made no sound, yet her presence roared louder than anyone else in the room.She didn’t smile..The guests stiffened. Some lowered their eyes. Others watched her closely, as if waiting for a sign to breathe again. It wasn’t fear in the room. It was something deeper. Something more ancient. Respect. But the kind that came from kn
