Caterina.

If I was being honest with myself, I had spent... two, three, four days... in this hellhole without any member or that silly Alessandro doing anything about it.

Was this what my life had come to?

A series of carefully moving through the estate, keeping my steps quiet as I approached the narrowed path I had noticed earlier.

Blondie must not have mentioned it to Luca because it was exactly like I had left it. Tucked away, half hidden behind thick ivy and a line of perfectly sculpted hedges.

My best shot at slipping out unseen.

Of course, the guards were still stationed out, but they all had blind spots, small ones. Spots that I had been watching long enough to know when they looked away.

My fingers curled into fists at my sides as I took a deep breath, forcing myself to stay calm. I could do this. I had to do this.

Tip.

Toe.

Tip.

Toe.

Tip...

I heard something.

A low murmur of sorts, a hushed conversation that the wind carried. No, no, no. Who was having their conversation t

    Caterina.I did not trust the men at the estate gates when they opened it for me.They had this too polite smile plastered on their lips. I didn't even trust the perfectly manicured bushes that lined the driveway because they looked like little spies.But most of all, I didn't trust Maria when she sent me the text few hours ago."It's just a girl's day." It had read. "Luca wouldn't eve here. Swear it on my mother's heritage.""Do you like or hate your mother?""Loved her. So you know I'm serious."So here I was. Wrapped in a pale blue sundress, my hair was tied up in a silk scarf, and I walked into enemy territory because my pride wasn't loud enough to outscream that quiet ache in my chest.Maria met me at the door barefoot, holding two ice cappuccinos for some reason, and grinning like a lunatic.Maybe she was."You actually came. Now Raphael owes me twenty bucks.""I came to see what this girl's day is all about," I replied, eyeing the foyer.And I didn't exactly have anything to do

    Luca.Caterina looked like she wanted to stab someone with her dessert fork.Was that because she finally decided to eat after drinking that cup of coffee for what felt like hours?Must be.I watched her from the grainy security feed of the restaurant, leaning back against the leather chair in my office, a tumbler of untouched whiskey in my hand.My other hand tapped lightly against the armrest, trying to keep the rhythm as uneven as I could. Her lips were moving fast. And though there was no audio, I didn't need that to know she was pissed.Probably at that woman sitting across from her.Carol.Never married to that sham of a father who shared DNA with Caterina. This woman had given Caterina those lovely cheekbones of hers, her flair of dismantling people with elegance, and that always can do spirit. I'd done my research the moment my men reported that Caterina was going to lunch with some woman.I'd also sent two more men to join the others, making it four men. Two seated at differe

    Caterina"Get. Out."I stood in the middle of my apartment, arms still crossed as I kept my eyes faced on the door Luca had just walked out of.Not like I was expecting the oaf to come back or anything.He hadn't even said a word after. No smug parting remark, no cruel tease, no apology.No fucking apology.That man refused to acknowledge what he did, so all I got was the sound of the door clicking shut Did I care?Not really.There was no reason for me to care about what Luca did or didn't do. I just needed him out of the house, and far away from me.There was no reason for me to care.Why should I?That man had practically kidnapped me. Locked me up in that estate of his and watched my desperate attempts of escaping unfold, while he frolicked with different women, as if I was there for his amusement.Just because he'd agreed to my stupid... very stupid pact, and fed me eggs in my kitchen didn't mean he was anything more than a drug lord who just happened to love tailored suits.Dam

    Caterina.I woke to the soft warmth of someone breathing against my shoulder.The scent of him surrounding me like a storm cloud I hasn't quite outrun, or could outrun. Clean soap, something musky beneath it, and the faintest hint of cologne that had long since faded... Luca.His arm was still wrapped around my waist, his chest pressed to my back, and his legs tangled with mine in a way that made it impossible to pretend the night before had been some sort of fever dream.I let out a slow exhale, keeping my eyes fixed on the soft outline of my window across the room. Morning light barely crept in, grey and filtered through storm clouds. Rain still patted against the glass, steady and rhythmic. Did I know what time it was currently?No.I wasn't even tempted to find out.Moving would mean waking him.Moving would mean admitting that I didn’t regret it.But I did.Or at the very least, I was supposed to. I'd promised myself I wouldn't do this... this was a man who slept with Rissa and

    CaterinaI wrapped my arms around myself, resisting the urge to shiver as Luca remained stubbornly in my doorway. The rain had started to pick up, thick droplets smacking against the roof like it held a grudge against it.Luca had to leave soon.I had been expecting this confrontation… It was Luca we were talking about. I just didn’t expect it so soon, nor had I expected this level of relentlessness.“You need to leave.” I said firmly, despite the fact that my nerves thrummed harshly inside.Luca tilted his head slightly, amusement flickering in those eyes of his as he leaned against the frame like he belonged there… belonged here. “I was under the impression that wasn’t an option.”“When the heck did…”The rest of the words died in my throat as a sudden movement at the end of the hall caught my eye. A figure. Masked.He was watching us.Luca, ever the observant one, sensed the shift in my focus because I could see his body tense, eyes snapping to where mine had been. In a blink, the

    Caterina.What was that blinding light?Fuck.My head felt heavy, my limbs sluggish as if my body had sunk deep into the mattress and decided it preferred staying there.My fingers curled against the fabric beneath me which for some reason felt familiar making it comforting. It smelled like lavender and something warm.. It smelled like home.But it wasn't until I shifted, feeling the tightness of the fabric against me that I realized...I was still in last night’s dress.What the heck?I had to take quick, short breaths while blinking hard against the sleep crusting my lashes, turning my head to take in my surroundings. High ceiling, the bookshelf overflowing with untouched books, the dim glow of the bedside lamp I never turned off.I was home.Sometime in the chaos of last night, I'd made it back. "Urghhh. My head." The groggy sigh escaped my lips, forcing myself even more to stay upright while the dress crumpled around me in a mess of wrinkles.I hope that wouldn't offend Maria.M
