Serena’s Pov

The darkness of that tiny room had become my entire world.

I had been sitting in that damp, suffocating space for what felt like hours, my knees pressed against my chest, my mind racing with thoughts of escape. The mattress beneath me was thin and lumpy, the blanket rough against my skin. I had stopped crying hours ago, my tears dried up like a river in a drought.

I was still in the dress Dimitrio had torn. The fabric hung loosely off my shoulder, exposing the bruise forming on my

  • SOLD TO THE RUTHLESS MAFIA LORD   Minutes to Live

    Serena's Pov I stared at the woman responsible for all of this, trying to think of what move to make next. A part of me screamed to lunge forward and grab the gun from her, but the other kept reminding me how small my odds of survival were. "How do we stop it?,” I said. “You can’t possibly expect us to walk away from this.” “You don’t,” she said. “I have waited long enough for this moment, and it is too late to stop it now. The codes, the deactivation sequences, everything, was all a lie to keep hope alive within you until it was too late. There is no saving any of this now.” Dimitrio took a slow step forward, lifting his hands slightly. “You have spent twenty years planning this revenge, but you don’t want to kill us. You want our suffering, don’t you? You would not have invited us here if you did not want us to know everything.” “You are right,” said Rosa, “but that does not mean I am not prepared for any outcome, and you should not be so surprised at what I am about to do.”

    Serena's Pov We flew back to Catania as soon as we could charter a flight. Every second was agonizing, thinking about how calmly Rosa had smiled in the security footage. As we pulled up to the old Marino home, I could almost see her smiling face in my periphery. “I know she had some ulterior motive for helping me.” I murmured, staring out the passenger window at the familiar building. “She led me to the box knowing that I would never have doubted her.” “We will learn the nature of her motives,” Dimitrio assured me, his fingers clasping mine tightly for a brief second. “If she wants to hurt you, or me, then we will stop her.” The house looked the same as when we had found it the first time. “Rosa?” I called out, stepping into the foyer and sweeping my gaze across the rooms on either side of us. “Rosa, I know you’re here.” We searched the house, peering into every room until I saw a space behind the loose floorboard in what had been the study. The little hiding space that contain

    Serena's Pov I watched the footage again, my eyes drawn to every detail I could miss. I needed to know what had happened inside of that bank in Zurich three days ago, so I asked the bank official to show me the footage once more. "Wait," I said, pointing at the screen. "There. Do you see that? When she turns to the door as if to leave, there's someone else there as well." The bank official zoomed in on the image, giving us a better look at the figure waiting just outside of the vault chamber, just beyond the sight of the camera. It was a man, his back bent slightly as he waited for the woman to come out, his dark coat and lowered hat drawing my attention instantly. "That man," Dimitrio said. "Do you recognize him?" I studied the image on the screen, my mind racing as I tried to place the man there. I couldn't say for certain that I did, but I knew I had seen him somewhere before. I just couldn't place where. "I don't know," I admitted, shaking my head. "But I have seen him befo

    Dimitrio's Pov I called Matteo's number the moment we landed, my hand not shaking at all as I did so, despite the troubles between us."Don't give me that all over again, Matteo. I know the truth. Lucia left a message in the journal about the safe, and I know Giovanni threatened Serena's life to keep his secrets."There was a pause on the other line as if the man was gathering his thoughts before he spoke again, his voice coming out like something broken and weary for the first time in my hearing."I didn't know what else to do, Dimitrio. He had men watching her for years, ever since you bought her at the auction. I thought that if I told you, that if I warned you, he'd kill her before either of us could do anything about it.""You should have trusted me. We could have protected her.""I couldn't risk it," he said, his voice rough with something like regret. "I'm sorry, Dimitrio. I truly am. I wish there had been another way, but there wasn't. Everything I did, I did to protect her,

    Serena's Pov My hands shook slightly as I worked through the message, matching each symbol against the patterns my mother had taught me years ago, back when our life together had still held small moments of warmth between the harder ones. "It's from her." The realization settled over me slowly. "This is my mother's handwriting." "Lucia wrote this?" Dimitrio leaned closer to look at the page. "She must have hidden it here before she ever gave the journal's location to anyone." I continued to decode the message letter by letter, writing the translation carefully onto a blank page torn from the back of the journal. The words began to take shape slowly, and as they did, my chest tightened with every new line. If you are reading this, you have found the heirloom, and I am likely gone. There is something you must know about Matteo Valenti. "Dimitrio." My voice caught. "What does it say?" I continued reading, my hands trembling harder now. Giovanni Monera came to me years ago, be

    Dimitrio's Pov "No," I said again, more firmly this time. "I already told you, I'm not leaving you alone. Not after Catania, not after the cave, not after everything we've already survived together." "Dimitrio, we don't have time for this." Serena's voice carried an edge of frustration now. "I'm not arguing to waste time. I'm telling you how this is going to work. My allies can handle the estate. I'll call every family that owes me a favor, send them to surround Matteo and whoever he has working with him. I don't need to be standing there myself to deal with him." "You don't trust anyone else to handle this." "I trust Rico's men. The Genovese owe me three favors over the last decade. I'll call them in, have them storm the estate within the hour. Matteo will learn quickly that betraying me doesn't come without consequences, whether I'm standing in that courtyard or not." "You're putting a lot of faith in men who might not arrive in time," Serena said. "What if the Genovese are a
