LUCAS POV.

She wouldn't look at me.

Isabella and I sat in silence in the dining hall, and a smirk settled on my lips as I recalled the first day I fed her poison, reminding her of her status when she had crawled to get the vial from my hands.

Now it seemed she had forgotten just that bit; I needed to remind her, jog up her memory, which was why I brought her here, and judging by the constant snorts and how she remained stiff, she knew exactly why she was here.

The door pushed open, and the maids plated our dishes, picking out the respective portions of food as Anitino followed behind, dressed casually in shorts and a loose shirt that made my gaze flicker almost immediately to that of Isabella's.

A pang of jealousy struck me seeing how she was openly shamelessly gawking at Antonio when she wouldn't even spare me a single glance for minutes.

“I'm leaving,” Antonio said. Not for once did he turn to Isabella, and I had seen a visible ugly scowl appear on her face; she wasn't happy abou

  • TANGLED LOYALTIES:BOUND BY VENGEANCE   Things fall apart

    ISABELLA'S POV"Luca, get off him! Now!" I screamed again, yanking him by the arm. His fist stopped midway into the air as he yanked himself up from Ciro, who now had a bloodied face, both panting heavily."The fuck is wrong with you? He's your brother," I complained, but a quick snort eased off Lucas' lips."He is, but he's making out with you. We fought last night, and suddenly, you are here with my twin, both of you eating each other's faces. Then you tell me not to call you a fucking whore who fucked Diego? Tell that lie to yourself.""Enough, Luca. I took all your blows, didn't I? And you can hit me again. I was the one who had forced the shit on her, but you wouldn't talk to her like that," Ciro retorted, grinding his teeth together as his jaw ticked in anger, earning a dark, low yet mischievous chuckle from Luca."Or what, Ciro? What would you do if I fucking speak like this or in any other way? She's mine… not yours, now is she? Do I have to bend her over this fucking desk and

  • TANGLED LOYALTIES:BOUND BY VENGEANCE   Broken hearts

    ISABELLA'S POV.One thing was clear to me—whatever love I had for Luca, it needed to get drowned, locked away, and tossed into the ocean. Whatever growing feelings I had developed for Ciro, it needed to be forgotten.I'd be gone—or maybe not.But I knew the chances were slim. People fought it, some made it back, some died—and guessing my luck in life, the latter would come after. Which was why I needed to set certain things in motion.Time had come to plan an end for me. The unknown was far worse, but Matteo meant the world to me. And when I'm gone, long forgotten, would he be safe with the Riccis? Would Luca still treat him like a brother? Like a son?Would Ciro watch out for me?Those were the thoughts I had harbored the entire night. I'd woken twice to nightmares, yet I knew what the answer was. Things wouldn’t be the same when I was gone, which was why Diego was the safest option.Sofia would birth a child, but she’d always carry the Vladimirs’ name. And Matteo might be a Ricci un

  • TANGLED LOYALTIES:BOUND BY VENGEANCE   Crack In the Mask

    LUCA'S POV“So, you’ve got a plan or something?” Ciro asked, finally breaking the long, due silence between us. I grumbled in low tones, cursing within myself before nodding negative.“You heard her—she asked us to stay, we stay,” I reasoned, the words rolling off my tongue bitterly. I didn’t like where this nonsense was heading; it made me sick to my gut.The way Diego had watched her—she could call it a joke, but I know that look anywhere. I understood it because I’ve always looked at her like that from the very beginning. Diego wants her, and he wouldn’t stop at anything until he has her.“Bullshit. She’s your wife, for fuck’s sake, Luca! Who knows what that crackhead will do to her? What if he hurts her? Or touches her, or—”“Enough, Ciro!” I snapped, cutting into his words. I already had a lot going on—I didn’t need him pushing me over the edge.“She’s my wife, remember? I call the shots on what to do, so fucking back off,” I warned through gritted teeth. Ciro arched his brows up

  • TANGLED LOYALTIES:BOUND BY VENGEANCE   Sweet nightmare

    ISABELLA'S POV“Sofia!” Matteo screamed, cutting through the doors as soon as we walked out through the elevators. His arms wrapped around the youngest and most prized possession of the Vladimirs.I'm sorry.I shouldn't see her as an object. She’s human, a woman—but maybe the tiniest, darkest part of me refused to acknowledge her on purpose. She lied to my brother, tricked him, and right after he fell in love, she’s bringing up some sick stunt.She knew he was a Ricci, so why lead him on if she felt otherwise? And the moment things get intense, she suddenly didn’t want her family to find out? Too late for that now, I'd say.“Isabella?!” she called, tilting her head in my direction. I fought to keep an eye roll while I flashed her a practiced smile and a nod before pulling away from her, afraid she might try to shake my hand or hug me.“I think it’s best we leave the couple alone,” Diego called out from behind. I'd almost forgotten he was there—instead, my eyes had dropped to Matteo’s,

  • TANGLED LOYALTIES:BOUND BY VENGEANCE   KOTYONOK

    ISABELLA’S POV.Goosebumps lined across my skin as I stared at this man who had a strange aura exuding from him. He stood with all grace in his gestures, relaxed like he had not a single care in the world — and seeing how tense even Luca was, I knew Diego Vladimir was no joke."She's my wife… you must be mistaken here," Luca asserted, trying to keep the gruffness in his tone hidden, only to fail."I am no fool, Luca. I know certainly she's yours, and I do not recall placing a cheap worth on my sister either," Diego asserted calmly — but now, I’d seen the veins on Luca's temples popping."If you want something, man, mention it. Do not play around dirty like that. Wanting another man's woman is a low blow, so let's get this conversation moving, or you can walk your sorry ass out and prepare for war," Ciro asserted, now pushing closer to Diego when Niko had pulled his trigger once again —Letting a gunshot fire into their floor, inches away from Ciro's feets."Stop! Everyone stop!" I sc

  • TANGLED LOYALTIES:BOUND BY VENGEANCE   Two sides of a coin

    LUCAS'S POV.My eyes glanced down to Isabella and Matteo, fright written across their faces as continuous gunshots were fired.“Stay in here! Both of you!” I ordered firmly, storming out the door with Antonio hot on my heels, dashing toward the main entrance. I reached for a gun handed to me by my best friend, only to stop in horror.Every nerve in me set ablaze watching Ciro hold out a gun to a man's head. A gun pressed against his own head.“Ha… here he is,” the man spoke idly, his hands resting easily against the trigger as Nico's gaze followed mine. I glanced around, thankful there were no bodies, damaged properties. Yes, sure, nothing cost a human life.“Let him go and we’ll talk,” I ordered sternly, my eyes lingering on that of the man, who cocked his head slowly toward the left as if waiting for some sort of order.“Let him go, Nico, we both know how whiny Sofia can get over bloodshed,” an older man had spoken, walking toward us, lighting the end of his tobacco stick as the gun
