last update Last Updated: 2026-01-02 00:35:44

Matteo found Luca in his office three days later, surrounded by organizational reports he was clearly not reading, his mind obviously elsewhere.

Probably with Sienna, who was napping upstairs after another difficult night of fever dreams and shared warmth.

"We need to talk," Matteo said, closing the door behind him.

"About?" Luca asked, looking up.

"Serena DeLuca," Matteo said, dropping a thick file on the desk.

Luca went very still. "What about her?"

"She's not the angel you remember," Matteo said grimly. "And she's definitely not some innocent socialite living a quiet life in Milan."

He opened the file, spreading photographs and documents across the desk. "Serena DeLuca is currently engaged to Marcus Vitale—heir to the Vitale family, our biggest rivals in the northern territories."

Luca stared at the photographs. Serena at expensive restaurants, at charity galas, always on the arm of a handsome man in his thirties, always wearing designer clothes and jewelry that cos

    "I pictured her looking for me too," Sienna continued, tears streaming freely now. "Thought maybe she couldn't find me, maybe she tried but the system made it impossible. I never imagined she just didn't care enough to try." "Sienna—" Luca started. "Did she ever ask about me?" Sienna interrupted. "In those communications with the Vitale family, did she ever express any actual concern about my wellbeing, any sisterly feeling beyond strategic calculation?" Luca hesitated, then decided honesty was kinder than comforting lies. "No, every mention of you is strategic, focused on how your situation can be exploited.There's no indication of genuine familial affection or concern." Sienna made a sound between a laugh and a sob. "Of course not; why would she care about the sister she abandoned, the inconvenient truth of her perfect life? She looked at Luca, her eyes full of betrayed misery. "Is anyone in my life not using me? Is there anyone who sees me as a person rather than a tool

  • STOLEN BY THE DON   SERENA'S BETRAYAL

    "Then let her come," Luca decided. "But on our terms, in our timing. I want to see Serena face to face, want to watch her perform this heroic sister routine, want Sienna to see who her twin really is." "That's risky," Matteo warned. "If Serena manages to extract Sienna, if she gets law enforcement involved..." "She won't," Luca interrupted. "Because by the time Serena arrives, Sienna will know the truth. She'll understand that her angelic twin is actually a calculating operator who abandoned her in foster care while building a career manipulating wealthy men." "You're going to tell Sienna," Matteo said. "I'm going to show her," Luca corrected. "Evidence, communications, the entire documented history of Serena's calculated betrayals. Sienna deserves to know who her sister really is before they meet." Matteo considered this. "You realize this will devastate her? Learning that her twin knew about her existence but chose to abandon her, that Serena's current interest is pu

    "Help you be less afraid of your own emotional complexity," Luca said. "You can hate me and feel drawn to me simultaneously.You can recognize the wrongness of this situation while also acknowledging moments of genuine connection, humans are capable of holding contradictions.""That sounds exhausting," Sienna said."It is," Luca agreed. "But it's also honest; pretending you only feel one thing, that your emotions are simple and clear, that's the real fiction."They sat in silence, hands joined, sun filtering through the garden's leaves.Somewhere nearby, Sienna heard birds singing, heard the fountain's gentle splash, heard the ordinary sounds of life continuing despite her internal chaos."I liked sleeping next to you," Sienna finally admitted, her voice barely audible. "These past few nights, I slept better than I have in months, felt safer than I should given that you're the source of my danger.""I liked it too," Luca said quietly. "Not because of possession or victory, but because

  • STOLEN BY THE DON   DANGEROUS TERRITORY

    Sienna spent the next three days recovering from her injuries, and Luca spent those same three days being unexpectedly, consistently present. Not hovering, not demanding, just there whenever she needed something.He brought her meals personally, sat reading in the chair while she rested, helped her change bandages when the doctor wasn't available, always asking permission before touching, always respecting the boundaries she set.And every night, without discussion or negotiation, he slept beside her, just warmth, just presence, their hands somehow always finding each other in the darkness.It was domestic in a way that terrified Sienna more than his earlier obsession had.Because obsession she could hate cleanly; domesticity was far more dangerous.On the fourth day, Sienna was finally strong enough to sit in the garden, carefully positioned so the sun wouldn't hit her healing back.Luca had arranged for cushions and shade, had made sure she had books and water and everything she mi

  • STOLEN BY THE DON   THE WARMTH

    "I could move closer," Luca offered. "Share body heat without actually touching, just proximity, just warmth." Sienna considered, weighing vulnerability against discomfort. "Okay but Luca, I'm serious, no touching, no taking advantage, just warmth." "Just warmth," Luca confirmed, carefully shifting closer until she could feel his presence without contact. The warmth radiating from him was immediate, cutting through the chill that had settled into her bones. Sienna felt herself relaxing slightly, felt her hypervigilance easing with the comfort of not being alone. "Better?" Luca asked softly. "Yes," Sienna admitted. "Thank you." "Sienna," Luca said after another silence. "What you did yesterday, saving Maria - I can't stop thinking about it." "Why?" Sienna asked. "Because it was pure," Luca said. "No calculation, no self-interest, just immediate compassionate action.I've spent my entire life in a world where every choice is strategic, where kindness is weakness and comp
