He met Luca's eyes. "These aren't small concessions, these are fundamental shifts in priorities, putting one woman above the empire you've spent decades building.

That's not sustainable, Luca, and it's dangerous for everyone who depends on you."

"So what are you suggesting?" Luca asked, anger creeping into his tone. "That I go back to being completely cold, completely focused on power regardless of personal cost?"

"I'm suggesting you find balance," Matteo said. "You can care about her without letting that care compromise everything else but right now, you're all-in on Sienna to the exclusion of responsibilities that don't disappear just because you've fallen in love."

"I haven't..." Luca started, then stopped. "Is that what you think this is? Love?"

"What else would you call it?" Matteo asked. "You're faithful without choosing it, you prioritize her wellbeing over organizational needs. You''re considering giving her freedom even though it might destroy you.

  • STOLEN BY THE DON   CANCELLED MEETING

    "We have the meeting in an hour," Luca reminded her. "I don't care," Sienna said. "I can't.... I can't meet her right now, can't see the woman you actually wanted while processing that I'm just a replacement.Tell the Marchesis there's a delay, reschedule, I don't care but I'm not going today." "Sienna, please..." Luca started. "No," she said firmly. "You promised me truth, promised honesty about what this situation was but that wall, those photographs, that shrine to another woman. That's a lie, Luca, you've been lying to both of us, pretending I matter when really, I'm just convenient." She was at her room now, her hand on the door. "I need to think, need to process what I just learned and you....You need to figure out whether you're keeping me because you actually care about me, or because having someone who looks like her is better than having no one at all." The door closed, and Luca heard the lock click - a small sound, but definitive. He stood alone in the hallway, hi

  • STOLEN BY THE DON   THE DISCOVERY

    They were supposed to leave for the Marchesi meeting in an hour. Sienna had dressed, prepared herself mentally as much as possible, and was wandering the estate trying to burn off nervous energy. She found herself outside Luca's private office, not the study he usually worked in, but the smaller, more personal space he rarely allowed anyone to enter. The door was slightly ajar, and she could hear him inside on the phone, speaking rapid Italian. She should have walked away, should have respected the boundary but something drew her forward, some instinct that this room might hold answers to questions she hadn't known to ask. The office was smaller than she expected, more intimate. One wall was lined with bookshelves, another with filing cabinets, a third with... Sienna's breath caught. The wall was covered with photographs, dozens of them, all of the same girl at different ages. A child around ten, a young teenager, a girl of maybe fifteen or sixteen, always the same face, always

  • STOLEN BY THE DON   THE WARNING

    After Matteo left, Luca sat alone with this revelation. Three months without wanting anyone else, without even noticing their absence because Sienna had become sufficient, had filled spaces he hadn't known were empty. He pulled out his phone, scrolling through contacts he hadn't thought about in months; Gabriella, Valentina, Sofia, women he'd enjoyed spending time with, who'd provided physical intimacy without emotional complication. Looking at their names now felt strange, distant, like remembering a different person's life. He couldn't imagine calling any of them, couldn't conceive of wanting anyone who wasn't Sienna. When had that happened? When had his obsession evolved into this complete, exclusive focus? He couldn't pinpoint a specific moment, it had been gradual, imperceptible each day making others less relevant until finally, they weren't relevant at all. That's what Matteo meant about unconscious commitment. He hadn't decided to be faithful, hadn't consciously eli

  • STOLEN BY THE DON   THE SHIFT

    Matteo noticed first. It was subtle - he absence of something rather than the presence but over weeks, the pattern became unmistakable.Luca hadn't brought anyone to the estate, hadn't disappeared to discreet hotels, hadn't maintained any of the casual liaisons that had been routine before Sienna. They were in Luca's study reviewing security arrangements for the Marchesi meeting when Matteo finally brought it up, unable to ignore the elephant in the room any longer. "When's the last time you saw Gabriella?" he asked carefully, referencing the woman Luca had been casually involved with for over a year. Luca looked up from the documents, confused. "What? Why are you asking about Gabriella?" "Because she called me yesterday asking if you were alright," Matteo said. "Said she hasn't heard from you in three months, wondered if something had happened." "Three months?" Luca repeated, genuinely surprised. "Has it really been that long?" "Apparently," Matteo confirmed. "And it's not jus

  • STOLEN BY THE DON   SLOW BURN CONTINUES

    Sienna took another drink, needing the burn to ground her. "This is dangerous territory." "I know," Luca said. "But we're already in it, have been for weeks now. Every conversation that goes deeper, every moment of genuine connection.We're building something neither of us intended, something that doesn't fit comfortable categories." "It doesn't change what you did," Sienna said firmly. "Understanding you, recognizing your damage, it doesn't excuse kidnapping me, doesn't make captivity acceptable." "I know that too," Luca said. "I'm not asking for forgiveness or absolution. I'm just acknowledging what's developing between us—something that exists despite the circumstances, maybe even because of them." He moved closer still, close enough that she could feel the heat radiating from him, could smell the whiskey on his breath mixed with something else cologne, maybe, or just him. "Tell me you don't feel it," he said quietly. "Tell me I'm alone in noticing how the air changes when we
