"But I am watching," Matteo said. "And I'm telling you, she's dangerous. Not because she's Viktor's enemy, but because she's becoming your obsession again and obsession makes you stupid, Luca.

Makes you blind to what you're sacrificing for fantasy."

He left before Luca could respond, heading toward the security office to implement the guard changes. Behind him, he heard Luca sit heavily in his chair, the weight of truth or denial settling over him.

  • STOLEN BY THE DON   WHEN I LOOK AT YOU

    “I needed to understand the hierarchy,” Serena said, her voice cold enough to cut. “I’m the successful one. The strategic one. The twin who matters. You’re the mistake, the one they threw away because even at seven, they could tell you’d never be worth keeping.”Something inside my chest didn’t just hurt, it splintered. Not a clean break. A fracture. The kind that never really heals right. This wasn’t honesty. It wasn’t even cruelty in the heat of the moment. This was calculated. Precise. Designed to destroy.“The investigator’s report…” I said slowly, the pieces sliding into place in a way that made my stomach turn. “You didn’t show it to me to be honest. You showed it to set this up. You wanted proof, documentation, so you could twist the knife deeper.”Her lips curved, pleased. “Smart girl. Took you long enough. Yes, I showed you so you’d come back vulnerable. So you’d be perfectly positioned for maximum damage when I told you the truth that I chose to let you suffer because your s

  • STOLEN BY THE DON   WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

    Sienna stayed away from the hospital for three days, holing up in her hotel room with the investigator's report, reading it obsessively, memorizing every clinical detail of her documented suffering.On the fourth day, Matteo knocked on her door with coffee and concern."You need to either go back or make the decision to stay away permanently," he said, settling into the chair by the window. "This limbo isn't healthy.""Nothing about this situation is healthy," Sienna said, but she was already reaching for her jacket.She found Serena sitting up in bed, looking significantly stronger, her color fully returned. The doctor had apparently cleared her for transfer to a private recovery facility within the week."You came back," Serena observed as Sienna entered. "I wasn't sure you would.""Neither was I," Sienna admitted, settling into the chair with careful distance between them. "I've spent three days trying to decide if honest monstrosity is better than being alone.""And?" Serena promp

    "That's honest," Serena corrected. "And it's the best I can offer. Brutal honesty about inevitable betrayal, delivered early enough that you can make an informed choice. Stay knowing what I am, or leave knowing you tried. Either way, you won't be able to say I deceived you."Sienna moved back to the bed, picking up the investigator's report, staring at her sister's handwritten notes choosing abandonment. "I should leave. I should walk out of this hospital and never come back, should choose myself the way you've always chosen yourself.""You should," Serena agreed. "It would be thye healthy choice. The self-protective choice. The choice that honors your own wellbeing over complicated sisterhood with a monster.""But?" Sienna prompted."But I hope you don't," Serena admitted. "I hope you're stupid enough to stay. Damaged enough to find honest monstrosity preferable to performed warmth. Desperate enough for a family that you'll accept a conditional connection over no connection.""Yo

  • STOLEN BY THE DON   THAT'S SICK

    "I didn't know I was performing," Serena said. "I was a baby, I was just trying to survive. Trying to be whatever they wanted so I could get out of the system. I didn't understand that being chosen meant you weren't."Sienna returned to the report, her vision blurring with tears she still refused to shed:"Current assessment: Subject is at high risk for homelessness upon aging out of foster care. Has minimal support system, no family connections, limited financial resources. Psychological evaluation suggests untreated attachment disorder and probable depression, though subject refuses counseling services.""Investigator's note: Subject appears to have internalized her abandonment/separation as personal failure. Multiple foster parents mentioned her saying things like "I wasn't good enough to keep" or "Something's wrong with me." Despite this, she demonstrates remarkable resilience and determination to build independent life through art.""Recommendation: Subject could benefit from

  • STOLEN BY THE DON   THE PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR'S REPORT

    Sienna returned to the hospital the next afternoon, bringing flowers she'd impulsively bought from a street vendor. She felt ridiculous carrying them but what do you bring the sister who abandoned you and an empty hands felt worse?Serena was sitting up in bed, looking significantly stronger than yesterday. Her color had improved, and she'd managed to style her hair into something presentable. Even recovering from gunshot wounds, she couldn't help but curate her presentation."Flowers," Serena observed as Sienna entered. "How conventional. I half-expected you to bring a weapon to finish what Viktor started.""The thought crossed my mind," Sienna admitted, setting the flowers on the windowsill. "But murder feels like too much effort today.""Fair," Serena said. "How are you? Matteo said you've been staying at a hotel. Not eager to return to your apartment?""Viktor's men know where I live," Sienna said, settling into the chair beside the bed. "Matteo thought it was safer to stay mobi

  • STOLEN BY THE DON   ACTUAL HONESTY

    "So you protected their feelings?" Sienna asked incredulously. "I protected my position," Serena corrected. "I was seven years old, finally somewhere stable after god knows what happened before. I wasn't going to risk that stability by introducing complications. So when they asked if I had siblings, I said no. Simple lie, enormous consequences." "You were seven," Sienna said slowly. "You lied when you were seven to protect your adoption. But what about later? What about when you were seventeen, twenty, twenty-three? What about when you hired a private investigator and found me in Queens? Why keep lying then?" "Because by then it was part of my constructed identity," Serena said. "By then I'd built an entire life around being an only child, a singular orphan with a tragic backstory. Introducing a twin would have meant revealing I'd been lying for years. Would have meant admitting my entire identity was fabrication." "So you chose your false identity over your real sister,"

    The drive back to the estate felt endless, suffocating in its silence; I sat in the backseat with my hands trembling in my lap, replaying everything that had just happened—the boutique, the men, the guns, the devastating truth.
