The Enemy You Choose

Elisa

The afternoon light filtered through the stone arches of the estate courtyard, casting long shadows across the marble floor.

The air smelled of lemon blossoms and other flowers, it was deceptively calm for a place simmering with unseen threats.

I moved quietly, the soles of my shoes brushing gravel, I was alert to every flicker of movement, every whisper that didn’t quite belong.

It had become a habit for me to scan the halls, watching who lingered too long outside the closed doors, or who glanced over their shoulder before disappearing around a corner.

Trust in this place right now was as thin as glass and just as easily shattered. And lately, the cracks had begun to show especially around.

I still could not believe how easily Lorenzo had turned, or maybe he was always like that, a traitor. Anyways he had always struck me as overly charming, the kind of man who polished his lies until they sparkled like truth.

I was returning from a task Matteo had sen

    Turning the TablesElisaThe gunshot shattered the silence, echoing through the room, my heart leaped into my throat as I woke up. Instinctively, I reached for my belly, protecting the baby growing inside me.But the scream that followed wasn’t mine, my eyes flew open just in time to see the horror.Bianca was clutching her chest, blood spreading fast across her white nightgown, her face was pale and her expression was frozen in shock and pain. Georgia stood a few feet away, gun still raised, stunned into place.Bianca had taken the bullet for me.A second later, the door to the secret passage slammed open, Antonio stormed in, his face contorted with rage, gun aimed at Georgia. Behind him, Matteo appeared; he froze for a second, before rushing to Bianca's side, shouts erupted throughout the house.Georgia spun around, eyes wide, trembling, she was trapped, I guess her plan was falling apart.Antonio didn’t hesitate, he lunged toward her, hand holding his gun, his fury was terrifyin

    The AttackGeorgiaThe moment I heard that Lorenzo had died, the air left my lungs like I’d been punched in the chest. I stood frozen in my Palermo apartment, staring at nothing, my heart racing and stomach twisting. Then the rage came.Lorenzo was my last chance, he was supposed to help me destroy Elisa, we had a plan, a shared goal. And now, he was gone, he was killed by Antonio like he meant nothing to him. The expensive furniture and all the designer clothes hanging in my walk-in closet, they all seemed meaningless in the face of this crushing defeat. But this defeat was not final, not yet, Elisa was still alive. As long as that woman lived, Antonio would never truly be mine, not completely, not in the way I deserved. She was living the life that was meant for me."That bitch," I hissed, pacing the length of my living room, my heels clicking sharply on the marble floor. “She took everything,” I whispered through clenched teeth. “She turned him against me and she made him ki

    Regret and ResolveElisaThe estate felt cold, even with fires burning in every room, there was a chill in the air. Antonio and all his men had returned, but it didn’t feel like a victory.There were shadows under his eyes, tension in his jaw, he moved like every step weighed him down, like he was still fighting something inside. I knew what he had done, that he had killed Lorenzo, he hadn’t said it out loud to me, he didn’t have to, the blank expression in his eyes said it all.I found him in the library, sitting by the fire, a glass of whiskey sat untouched beside him. The flames lit his face, showing the sharp lines of exhaustion and the sadness he couldn’t hide, he stared into the fire like it held something he couldn’t look away from.I walked in slowly, my heart heavy with worry, I knew what Lorenzo meant to him, he was not just a rival but something more. They had a twisted bond, built on years of trust and betrayal. Antonio carried his pain quietly, but it was there, just

    Brother Against BrotherAntonio The old villa was silent, but the air thrummed with a coiled tension. My men had secured the compound, moving silently through the overgrown gardens and crumbling stone corridors. Lorenzo was inside, and there was no escape for him.I walked through the villa's halls, the scent of dust and damp stone filling my nostrils. Every step was deliberately heavy with the weight of what was to come. This wasn't just another hit, this was personal. This was for Elisa, this was for my child and this was for every oath he had broken, every bond he had shattered.My men showed me his location, a large room on the upper floor, its windows overlooking the olive groves outside. The door was heavy, made of solid oak, the final barrier between us. I paused for a moment, the faint memory of our childhood flashing through my mind. Lorenzo, laughing, stealing pastries from the kitchen. Lorenzo, standing beside me at family meetings. That was a lifetime ago, that bo

    The Weight of the PastLorenzo The call from Sergio had been brief and filled with panic. "The villa has been breached, boss, Elisa is gone, that Russian mobster is responsible, I don't know what he's doing in Italy, or how he knows Elisa and that we have her. His men boss, they moved like ghosts, I barely escaped."My blood ran cold, What the hell was Pyotr doing in Italy? It seems I had underestimated Antonio, and my plans, so meticulously crafted, so close to fruition, were crumbling. Antonio had found Elisa, not through his own brute force, but through the insidious power of Pyotr. The news hit me like a physical blow, till the end, Antonio continues to pull one over me. The rage that had fueled me for weeks now twisted into a bitter, cold despair.I paced my hidden office in Calabria, the silence of the room mocking my frantic thoughts, there were no more allies, what allies did I even have before? Marcello was a sniveling coward and he had easily broken. And Marco Bianchi

    The ReunionElisa The drive was endless, or so it felt to me, the armored car, so impersonal, felt like another kind of cage, I was getting tired of being in small spaces now. Mikhail sat across from me, he was always a silent, unreadable presence. Pyotr had promised Antonio would be there, but after days of fear and betrayal, trusting anyone felt impossible. The memory of everything that happened from the time I was led to the trap of being kidnapped till I was rescued, still haunts me. But then, as the car slowed and the doors opened, I saw him.Antonio.He stood by an old, abandoned lighthouse on the western coast, silhouetted against the first faint glow of dawn. He looked haggard, his face lined with exhaustion and worry, but his eyes, when they found mine, were blazing with a raw, desperate relief."Elisa!" His voice was a guttural cry, thick with emotion.I didn't think, I didn't hesitate, I just ran to him, my legs, still weak from captivity, carried me forward. He met m
