LOGINHe killed my brother. I swore I’d make him pay. But now I’m trapped in his penthouse... and I think I’m falling for him. As the youngest son of the Romano mafia, Luca swore vengeance on the man who killed his brother—Damian Moretti, the cold, ruthless billionaire don of the rival Moretti family. But when a failed assassination attempt leaves Luca at Damian’s mercy, he’s not tortured. He’s... kept. And he says Luca belongs to him now.
View MoreThe world stopped.Adrian Castellane stood at the helm, wind in his hair, looking every bit the savior he'd pretended to be. And through the cabin window, he was watching me with that same warm smile—the smile of a man who'd played us perfectly from the beginning."Damian," I whispered, showing him the phone.Damian's eyes went from the screen to Adrian and back again. His entire body went rigid, muscles coiling like a predator about to strike."How long have you known?" Adrian's voice came through the intercom, calm and pleasant. "I'm curious when you figured it out."Damian's hand moved toward his weapon, but Adrian tsked. "I wouldn't. I've rigged the boat. One wrong move, and we all go swimming. Permanently.""You saved us," I said, still trying to process. "Multiple times. You risked your life—""I risked nothing." Adrian's smile widened. "I controlled everything. The ambush in Prague? I orchestrated it to gain your trust. The compound assault? I fed them your location, then 'resc
Rome was eternal and indifferent to the violence brewing beneath its ancient stones.I stood in the safe house bathroom, staring at my reflection while Adrian's people transformed me. A courier uniform. Fake credentials. A package containing absolutely nothing dangerous—on the surface."The explosive is in the false bottom," Adrian explained, showing me the mechanism. "Timer-based. You get inside, deliver the package, activate it, and get out. Three minutes before detonation.""And if they scan it?" I asked."The shielding should hold. But if they do a deep scan..." Adrian's expression was grim. "Improvise."In the main room, Damian was checking weapons with barely controlled violence. Every movement was sharp, aggressive—his anxiety manifesting as lethal preparation."This is a mistake," he said for the tenth time. "I should go in. Not you.""They know your face," I reminded him. "Every Consortium operative has your photo memorized. But me? I'm nobody. Just a courier.""You're not no
The door exploded inward in a shower of splinters and snow.Damian fired. I fired. The Councilman fired.Three Consortium operatives went down, but more poured in behind them. The cabin was too small, the space too confined. We were being overrun.Then, impossibly, gunfire erupted from outside—different weapons, different targets.The Consortium operatives turned, confused, as their own people started falling."What the fuck—" Damian breathed.Through the shattered doorway, I saw Adrian Castellane leading a squad of his family's soldiers, cutting through the Consortium forces with surgical precision."Get down!" Adrian shouted.We dropped as bullets tore through the cabin above us. The firefight lasted ninety seconds—brutal, efficient, decisive.Then silence.Adrian appeared in the doorway, immaculate despite the violence, offering his hand. "You look terrible, Moretti."Damian stared at him for a long moment, then took the offered hand, letting Adrian pull him up. "What are you doing
The mountain compound was a fortress carved into stone and paranoia.Damian had moved us here within hours of deciding to stop running—a remote location in the Austrian Alps, heavily fortified, designed to withstand siege. If The Consortium wanted us, they'd have to come through walls of steel and an army of loyal soldiers.Elena and Kai arrived by separate routes, along with the handful of Damian's people we could still trust. Twenty men, total. Against an organization with unlimited resources."This is insane," Elena said, studying the compound's defenses. "We should be running, not making a stand.""Running just delays the inevitable," Damian countered. He stood at the operations center, studying surveillance feeds that showed nothing but snow-covered mountains. "They'll never stop hunting us. So we force their hand. Make them come to us, on our terms.""Or we die here," I added quietly.Damian's hand found mine. "Then we die together. Fighting."Kai was working frantically to prot
