The Start of it All

Elisa

I was sitting in our room, staring at the closed door, still replaying the argument from earlier. Antonio's angry exit had left a cold ache in my chest.

I had let Pyotr's words, his calculated poison, get to me, the thought made my stomach churn.

The door opened, and Antonio walked in, his face was grim, but his eyes, though still holding a trace of anger, also held something else, a purpose.

He didn't speak to me at first, instead, he walked directly to the large, portrait of his father in the room, he shifted it and opened the door to the secret room.

I kept staring at him, wondering what he was doing, he came to me, and lifted me up from where I was sitting by holding my hand, and he took me into the room and shut the door before speaking.

Antonio turned to me, his voice was low and serious. "We're leaving tonight, Elisa, for a mission."

A mission, my mind immediately went to his injury, a fresh wave of worry washed over me. "Tonight? Antonio, are you

    Eyes EverywhereAntonio The tension in the estate was a physical thing, a hum beneath the surface of everyday life. I had spent the past few days watching Elisa closely. Her movements were more cautious, her eyes constantly scanning the familiar faces of our staff. I noticed her subtle efforts to hide her changing body, the way she sometimes pressed a hand to her stomach when she thought no one was looking. It hurt me to see her like this, living under the weight of a secret that should have brought only joy, my anger at the traitors in our midst grew with each passing hour. I wanted to move, to strike, but I held back, remembering my own promise to myself, patience. We needed to know who was working against us, who was feeding information outside our walls.I was in my office, reviewing the latest reports from the city, particularly focusing on the movements of Bianchi's and Belgrado's men. The air was thick with the scent of old paper and the faint smell of the flowers outsi

    The Unraveling ThreadElisa The past few months felt like living under a magnifying glass. Since I told Antonio about the baby, a new kind of vigilance had settled over me. We spoke in hushed tones, planned every move, trying to build an invisible shield around our secret. Antonio was more protective than ever, constantly reminding me about taking care of myself, and about monitoring every change in my routine and appearance, I tried my best. I started wearing looser clothes, avoided certain parts of the estate, and stopped my usual vigorous sparring sessions, blaming it on a lingering strain from the recent sparring section. It was a constant performance, and the effort was draining.But despite our efforts, a cold, persistent feeling began to creep into my days, I got the distinct feeling someone was watching me more closely. It wasn't just the general paranoia of knowing there were traitors in the household. This felt personal, specific to me, it was in the subtle shift in th

    New FearsElisaThe drive back to the estate after the mission was quiet. The car moved smoothly through the predawn darkness. Antonio was focused on the road, but I could feel his gaze on me sometimes. His question, "Are you okay, Elisa? You look tired," echoed in my mind. I had brushed it off, as always, but I knew, I knew why I was tired. I had known for a day now, hence why I spent the night at Bianca's room the other day, and the secret had weighed heavily on me.My mind replayed the night's event, the crack of gunfire, the rush of adrenaline, the cold satisfaction of taking back what was ours. Antonio had been a force, moving with ruthless grace. I had fought beside him, feeling the familiar burn of exertion, the quick thinking needed in a gunfight, but unlike before, a new layer of worry had clung to me. Every near miss, every enemy who got too close, sent a shiver down my spine that wasn't just fear for myself, it was fear for someone else.We arrived back at the estate an

    Taking Back PossessionsAntonio The air in the secret passage was cool and damp, it smelled of old earth and stone. Elisa moved ahead of me, her silhouette barely visible in the faint light that filtered from the hidden exit. We walked in silence, the only sound was the soft padding of our shoes on the rough floor. My mind was sharp, ready for the night ahead. The anger I felt towards Elisa earlier was gone, replaced by the focus required for a mission, and a fierce determination to protect her.We emerged from the passageway and entered the carb that was waiting for us. It took us to an abandoned warehouse on the edge of downtown Sicily. The city hummed in the distance, a low, constant murmur that always seemed to whisper of secrets and danger. The air here was cool and smelled of exhaust fumes and damp concrete.Matteo and the rest of the crew were already there, waiting. Twenty men, quiet and grim, dressed in dark clothing. Their faces were shadowed, but their eyes were alert,

    Hiding And SeekingAntonio I walked away from our room, my anger a cold knot in my chest, her words echoed in my head, sharp and unfair. Am I just a piece on your chessboard? Am I just an instrument in your revenge? How could she doubt me like that? After everything we had shared, everything I had done, the risks I had taken for her. I knew I hadn't said the words "I love you" outrightly yet, but my actions, my devotion, should have made it clear to her by now. My anger was a burning shield against the hurt I was feeling.I walked through the hallways of the estate, heading towards my office. I needed to focus, to push aside this emotional turmoil. The war didn't stop because I was having personal problems, in fact, it was more important than ever to be clear-headed.I reached my office and slammed the door shut behind me, the heavy wood vibrated. I walked to my desk, my jaw tight, I picked up my phone and pressed the speed dial for Matteo, he answered on the second ring."Matte
