MARCO

We moved slow down the corridor, shadows thick around us, every step tight and careful. The walls felt like they were closing in more with every turn. My gun was warm in my hand, not from use, but from how long I’d been gripping it. I didn’t loosen my fingers. Couldn’t. Not now.

Denis came up beside me, pressing closer to the wall, breathing heavy but steady. His sleeve was darker than before — the blood still hadn’t stopped. But he kept moving. That’s the kind of man he was.

“Its clear now Marcel knows,” Denis said, voice low.

“I know that, Marcel right?” I responded, even though I already knew the answer.

He nodded. “Maybe he thinks its not you. But he knows someone’s here. He’s spooked. Movement in the north wing, checkpoints locking up tighter.”

I looked ahead, eyes narrowing at the half-lit hall we were creeping down. “What where Sarah is being kept?”

“That’s the thing,” Denis said. “Still no extra traffic to the east side. Either Damien doesn’t believe it’s you, or he’s wa

    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

    SARAHMarco offered his arm as we stood at the top of the stairs.I adjusted the strap of my dress and took a deep breath. The music floated up from the ballroom.. soft, elegant, expensive. Voices mixed underneath it. Laughter, clinking glasses. The sound of a hundred powerful people arriving.“You ready?” he asked quietly.I gave a small nod and placed my hand on his arm.We walked down together, step by step, like this was something we did every weekend. But inside, I was locked up. My chest was tight. The closer we got to the bottom, the heavier I felt.The grand chandelier above the room lit everything in gold. People turned when they saw us, eyes following as we moved. Some smiled. Some just watched.Their looks weren’t warm. Not cruel eitherg just… measured. Like they were trying to place me. Like they couldn’t decide what I was. A wife? A girl Marco was keeping for now? Something else entirely?I straightened my back and kept walking.We reached the bottom, and there she was.M
