LUCA'S POV

“She’s alive?” Antonio asked, the photo held firmly between his fingers as his gaze dropped to mine.

“She’s alive!” he retorted, his voice laced with both fear and confusion, anger clashing with joy just as much as I felt when I found out.

“Oh my goodness, you were fucking right all along! We thought you were crazy. We gave up on her, we…”

“You did what was right, Antonio. Don’t beat yourself up for it,” I corrected him, grabbing the picture once again, my fingers stroking her face fondly as though she was here.

“Besides, I only found out today. I guess a lot of secrets had been in the dark. Well, thanks to Ciro, this happened,” I admitted, hating that I had to feel grateful even after he dealt me the biggest gut-wrenching news.

“And what does he have to do with this? Besides, last I checked, he chickened out and fucking vanished,” Mancini snapped with a growl, speaking through gritted teeth. I nodded, a gesture to Ciro that it was fine.

“I’m a cop. I have a task force, a s

  • TANGLED LOYALTIES:BOUND BY VENGEANCE   No one has to know

    DIEGO’S POVI had no expectations for how she’d react. But if I’d been given a choice, I’d never settle for this gory manner in which she stared at me—the eerie silence, the tension stilled between us. “Kotyonok,” I slurred, reaching out toward her. She didn’t move, didn’t scream, didn’t avert her gaze from where I’d been standing previously. It seemed just as though she was... gone. Blacked out. Not a single emotion behind those hazel, bulging eyes of hers. “Baby, I think I’ll leave you both to speak. I’ll be away for now,” Luca had muttered gently, but this time, I was the one to yank at his arms. “Perhaps leaving might not be a good idea. She might not want to stay with me,” I pleaded in my tone, but Luca only smiled before nodding negative. My grip on his arm loosened and we watched until he’d walked away. “Come, kotyonok,” I dragged her gently by the arm, settling her into the chair. Still, she hadn’t moved or said a word. I was growing worried. I mean, I’d preferred her

  • TANGLED LOYALTIES:BOUND BY VENGEANCE   SHATTERED

    ISABELLA'S POVI remembered. Amidst the rage, the self-loathing, the regret, and of course, the tiniest bit of selfishness within me, I remembered it all. Just why now? I'd stormed angrily up the stairs, intent on having a quick bath when my hands had rested on the knob. Something must have triggered my memories. It had all come crashing down on me—a heavy migraine, panic, and pain. I'd turned on my feet, scared, wanting to tell Luca when I'd seen him on the phone. He’d called Diego. They’d make me keep the baby. And that selfish bit of me I'd spoken about just now? Yes, I wanted the child too. "Fuck," I swore, locking the door behind me. Luca would have figured I'd been missing already. And the goddamn maniac, the needy, cringey, attention-hungry whore I was, I'd happened to run into Quincy's room—his old room, I guessed. The memories struck, attacked me, almost causing me to lose my balance. I staggered into any room, and now I rested my head against his bed, tears flowing

  • TANGLED LOYALTIES:BOUND BY VENGEANCE   Pregnant for Two men

    LUCAS POV.Some things were best left secret.But some were a disaster when it unfolded.The Vladimirs and the Riccis were no longer rival factions but had become business partners, according to the public and our men. But little did they know, Isabella was also an heir to Vladimir Bratva—one of the secrets I’d have to carry to my grave. Diego and his brothers knew of it. Mancini and I knew of it.

She was trying, attending all sorts of therapy. Her sessions

  • TANGLED LOYALTIES:BOUND BY VENGEANCE   Antonio and Maccini

    ANTONIO'S POV."Don’t fucking lie to me," I yelled, poking the gun harder on his balls. A slight groan eased off his lips as his cock thickened beneath it, twitching for dear life."I'm into nasty shit... but not here. My daughter’s in the next room, so please, love, get the goddamn gun off me." He pleaded in a soft tone, a smile on his lips."Fuck, she's—""My daughter, yes. I have no reason to lie to you," he yelled now, seeming more infuriated at his arousal than he was with me pointing a gun at him."Five minutes... that’s all you get," I warned, tossing the towel over to him. He grabbed it with both arms, a scowl forming on his face as I rounded back to the seating room.Gia raised her eyes in sync with mine, mouthing the word "sorry" to me. I studied her face now—the eyes, the lips. Fuck, how blind had I been? I mean, I was angry and stuff, but she looked exactly like him. She really did seem to be his child."He's your father?" I asked. She blinked hard, her huge rounded hazel

  • TANGLED LOYALTIES:BOUND BY VENGEANCE   His secret affair

    ANTONIO'S POV.The soft fabric of my alter neck top clung to my body as the cold wind brushed past my skin. Today may not have been the best day to get dressed in shorts either, but I needed to be certain If i’d been made a fool of. Everything had been fine—Isabella hadn’t recalled her memories, but she was coming around just fine. I’d noticed Macini, however, receiving sneaky calls, disappearing for odd hours, meeting up with someone. I hadn’t intended to be the nosy husband or anything of the sort, but I’d grown more restless when Nico had taunted me at the wedding earlier today, asking if I intended to be in a poly relationship just like Isabella, Ciro, and Luca. Only that when I’d asked him what he meant, he’d recoiled—realizing he had spoken too much. Anger spiked in me, and I demanded an explanation. He asked us to meet tonight by the beach.The crunching of gravel beneath the tires as a car steered toward me made my pulse quicken. Nico alighted from it, swinging his keys in

  • TANGLED LOYALTIES:BOUND BY VENGEANCE   Embracing our darkness

    ISABELLA'S POV.I had a brother. One who seemed happy that I'd had no recollection of our past. He'd blamed himself, claimed he'd been selfish, and that I'd always looked after him. I'd learned of our childhood briefly from him before he had been sent to school in a place entirely far from me just so he could be safe.Which was why I stood watching him exchange his vows at the altar with Sofia, who was now pronounced his wife, with tears in my eyes.I'd wondered what it would have felt like if I'd died, if Diego hadn’t saved me. how terrible things could have gone for poor Matteo. And more than anything now, I swear I'd wanted to remember, to regain my memories.I swallowed thickly, wiping off the tears from my eyes, now flashing him a bright smile as soon as he'd glanced in my direction. He smiled back, and the songs started as they both made their way to the car, heading off to their honeymoon, which Luca had proudly sponsored and had not said a single word to me about.He was happy
