MARCO

I paced back and forth in the cyber room, the soft hum of the machines around me doing nothing to calm my nerves. The glow of the monitors cast an eerie light, making the room feel more like a prison than a high-tech command center. I rotated a small pocket knife in my hand, the familiar weight grounding me, if only a little.

“Damn it,” I muttered to myself. “How could I let this happen? How did I lose her?” My voice echoed in the room, the frustration clear. “I should have tightened security more around the house. I should have seen this coming.”

I couldn’t shake the image of Sarah from my mind. The thought of her in Viktor’s hands made my blood boil. I stopped pacing and slammed the knife into the table, the blade sticking out at an angle.

“Viktor,” I growled. The name tasted like poison on my tongue. I closed my eyes, remembering our last encounter. I had spared his life then, thinking it was a mercy. A weakness. And now that same weakness had come back to hurt me, to hurt Sa

    SOFIAI stormed out of the De Luca house with my chest on fire. My heels struck the stone steps too loud, but I didn’t care. Marco had humiliated me in front of Sarah. In front of Maddalena. He had looked me in the eye and told me to leave, as if I was no one. As if I hadn’t been the one by his side first.I gritted my teeth, shoving the thought down, but it stayed. How dare he keep choosing her. Sarah. That smug little face, sitting quiet, pretending she was fragile, when I knew she was eating every second of it. Marco defending her, Marco telling me to leave because of her. I could still see Maddalena’s smile shifting when it happened, the way her lips tightened. She was pleased to see me, pleased when I walked in, but I knew she wouldn’t stay pleased for long. I was running out of time, and she made that clear when she agreed to give me this chance.And now Marco had slammed the door in my face.I walked fast, almost running through the gates of the estate. The guards didn’t even l

    SARAHSofia rushed past me before I could move. She dropped to her knees by Marco’s bed, her hands already reaching for him, her voice too fast, too high.“How could this happen? Who would dare? You were just at Delphini’s, Marco, just last night. How could it turn into this?”She pushed back the hair from his forehead like it was hers to touch, then her hand moved down, brushing the bandage on his leg. Marco let out a grunt, sharp and low, but she didn’t stop. She kept moving, kept asking questions without waiting for an answer.“Does it hurt too much? Who was it? Why didn’t anyone call me sooner? You shouldn’t be sitting up, you need to rest, you need—”I stood frozen at the side of the bed, heat rising in my chest. She was too close, leaning into him, filling the space that belonged to me.I stepped forward, opening my mouth, but Maddalena’s voice came from the door, smooth and sweet.“She always had such a caring heart.” Her eyes went to Sofia with clear pride. Then she turned her

    SARAHThe morning light slipped in through the curtains, soft and pale, but it didn’t bring peace. My eyes opened heavy, my body still stiff from the fear of last night. For a moment I thought maybe it had been a nightmare, that the gunfire and the blood weren’t real. Then I turned my head and saw Marco.He was lying beside me, shirt half open, his thigh wrapped in a bloodstained bandage. His face was calm like he was only sleeping, but his chest rose and fell uneven, and I could see the tension around his mouth. Pain. He was pretending not to feel it, even in his sleep.“Marco,” I whispered, touching his arm.His eyes opened slowly, hazy from the long night. He gave me a weak smile. “Morning, bella.”I wanted to smile back, but the fear in me was too strong. “You should rest. Don’t move.”He pushed himself up with one hand, wincing. “If I lie here all day, I’ll feel worse. Besides, I’ve had worse than this. Just a scratch.”“A scratch?” I said louder than I meant. My hands went to hi

    GUIDOThe room was dark, quiet, heavy with smoke. I sat at the head of the long table, a cigar burning low between my fingers. The ashtray in front of me was already full. I didn’t move much, only watched the door. I had been waiting, and they were late. My men always knew what that meant.The door creaked open. Nino walked in first, shoulders tense, his shirt sticking to him with sweat. His eyes darted around the room like a rat looking for a hole. Rocco followed, calm but stiff, his jaw tight. Olivia came last, her face collected, though I could see the way her eyes flicked toward me, gauging the mood.They stopped near the end of the table. None of them dared sit.I didn’t say a word. I leaned back, drawing slow from my cigar, and let the silence stretch. I could feel Nino fidgeting, his nerves making the air worse. That was the point. I let it choke him.Finally, he cleared his throat. “Boss… we went in, like you said. We had him in sight. Marco was there, the woman too.” His voic

    THIRD PERSONThe first shot cracked the air so loud Sarah thought the world split open. She screamed as Marco staggered forward, his body jerking, his hand flying to his leg. A grunt tore from his throat, raw and deep, but he didn’t fall.“Marco!” her voice broke, high with fear.The man standing in the road didn’t move. His figure was only bait, a shadow meant to hold their eyes. From the corners, more men stepped out, guns glinting in the dim streetlights. They weren’t drunk punks or random thieves. Their movements were sharp, organized.Sarah’s stomach twisted. This wasn’t random.Marco’s voice tore through the air, sharp and commanding, so different from the warmth he had given her all night. “Get back in the car! Now, Sarah!”She froze, her body locked in place, but Marco shoved her with his free hand, forcing her back inside. His face was pale, his jaw set tight, his leg bleeding fast.“Stay low!” he barked again.Her hands trembled against the leather seat. She wanted to reach

    SARAHThe band was still playing when I leaned back in my chair. The noise wasn’t as loud as before, more of a background hum while the night stretched on. Marco sat across from me, his glass half full, his face a little flushed from the wine. My cheeks felt hot too, and the room carried that buzz you only get when you’ve had just enough to loosen your guard. Not drunk, just light.My hand rested on the table, close enough to his that our fingers brushed. It was quick, accidental, but it sent a jolt through me. He smirked, like he knew exactly what he was doing, and lifted his glass.“One more bottle,” he said, motioning to the waiter.I groaned. “Marco, no. We’ve had enough.”He raised his brows, that stubborn expression settling on his face. “Tonight’s different. You don’t say no to me tonight.”“You’ll regret that in the morning,” I shot back, shaking my head.“I don’t get hangovers.”“Everyone gets hangovers.”“Not me.” His lips curved, smug. “Wine’s in my blood.”I laughed under
