Leona’s POV

It's been over two months now but I can't forget that night.

The night I left, the world didn’t end...it just went silent.

No sirens. No footsteps. No shouting in the hall. Only my heartbeat, pounding too fast for a body that hadn’t run far enough yet.

I didn’t look back. If I did, I might see him or his shadow in the doorway, the weight of everything I still wanted to say but never could. So I kept walking until the city swallowed me whole.

When I reached Nora’s place, the sky wa

  • THE DON'S FAVORITE OBSESSION    Chapter 53: The Devil's Bargain

    DANTE’S POVPain woke me before the light did. It came first as a dull ache in my leg. Then fire. My eyes opened sharply.A white ceiling. Antiseptic. The steady rhythm of a monitor. Hospital.For a few seconds, I lay still. Then memory came back.Leona.Marcello.Adrian.Her hand reaching for mine.The darkness taking her.I swung my legs over the side of the bed. Pain tore through my injured leg, but I forced myself upright.“Don't.”Luca's voice came from the other side of the room. I looked over. He was standing by the window, arms folded, exhaustion written across his face.“Where is she?”“Dante…”“Where is Leona?”Luca pushed away from the wall.“We don't know.”The answer hit harder than the bullet. I stood. My injured leg protested immediately. Pain shot upward, forcing me to grip the edge of the bed. Luca moved toward me.“You need to sit down.”“No.”“Dante.”“I can walk.”“Barely.”“I didn't ask for your medical opinion.”Luca sighed.“You're impossible.”“So I've been tol

  • THE DON'S FAVORITE OBSESSION    Chapter 52: The Price of Trust

    LEONA’S POV The next gunshot came from somewhere above us. Dante moved before I did. His hand closed around my wrist.“Run.”I ran.We tore through the corridor as bullets struck the walls behind us, sending splinters of wood and broken plaster across the floor. The building had become a maze of shadows, every room leading to another dead end, every sound making my pulse jump.I could hear men shouting. Not words I could understand.Commands.Movements.Orders being passed through the building.“They're herding us,” I said.Dante didn't slow down. “I know.”“What does that mean?”“It means stop talking and move.”A bullet struck the wall beside my head. I ducked.“Still charming.”“Still alive.”I hated that I almost smiled. Almost. We turned sharply into another corridor. Dante fired behind us. I heard someone cry out. Then another man stepped into view from the opposite end.I raised my weapon first. The shot rang through the hallway. He dropped.Dante looked at me. I looked at him

  • THE DON'S FAVORITE OBSESSION    Chapter 51: The Perfect Trap

    LEONA’S POVThe door shut behind me with a sound that seemed far too loud.I froze.For one second, I stood with my back against it, listening. Nothing. No footsteps. No voice. No movement.Just silence. I hated it.The building smelled like dust and damp wood. Somewhere deeper inside, water dripped at an annoyingly slow rhythm.Drip.Drip.Drip.I tightened my grip around the strap of my bag and moved forward.Moonlight slipped through the broken windows in pale strips, cutting across the floor. Dust floated through the air every time I took a step. The place was larger than it looked from outside. A narrow corridor stretched ahead of me, disappearing into darkness. Old doors lined both sides. Some were hanging open. Others had been nailed shut.I stopped beside the first one.Locked.The second.Empty.The third-I pushed it open slowly.A small room. Nothing inside except broken furniture and a layer of dust thick enough to show footprints.My eyes dropped. I crouched. Fresh. Not m

  • THE DON'S FAVORITE OBSESSION    Chapter 50: The Invitation

    LEONA’S POVTwo days after I found the R-20 file, the letter arrived.I knew something was wrong before I even picked it up. It was lying on the small table beside my door.No knock. No sound. No sign of whoever had left it there. Just an envelope. Waiting.My stomach tightened.For a few seconds, I simply stared at it. Then I locked the door, checked the window and only after confirming the room was exactly as I had left it did I pick the envelope up.There was no name on the front. No address. Nothing.I opened it.One sheet of paper. One name or rather-One nickname.My fingers went still.“Claws,There are things about your father’s investigation that connect our families more closely than you realize. Things you deserve to hear before you decide who your enemy is.You’ve spent enough time chasing shadows. If you truly want to know who M.V. is, come and hear what I know.Five days from now. Midnight.The abandoned building on Via San Zeno.Come alone and prepared to listen.-D”Cl

  • THE DON'S FAVORITE OBSESSION    Chapter 49: Threads of Suspicion

    LEONA’S POVI didn't sleep when I returned to my temporary stay.I locked the door. Checked the windows. Checked them again. Then I pulled the curtains shut and spread the contents of R-20 across the table.My father's missing file sat in front of me.For years, it had remained hidden inside a room beneath the eastern section of my family's hotel.Now it was here. With me.I stared at my father's handwriting. For a moment, I couldn't bring myself to touch anything. This was the closest I'd come to him since learning the truth. I was afraid of what I’ll find in the file. But this was my father.This was Domenico Rinaldi.A man who had known something was wrong.A man who had spent his final days trying to prove it.I opened the first document. Then another. And another. Hours passed.Vetra Holdings appeared everywhere.At first, I thought I was imagining it.The company surfaced in financial transfers, correspondence and meeting records. Sometimes directly, sometimes through subsidiari

  • THE DON'S FAVORITE OBSESSION    Chapter 48: The Paths We shouldn't have Crossed

    LEONA’S POVI had been staring at my father’s files for nearly an hour when I finally noticed it.Not a name. Not a photograph. A gap. My eyes moved slowly down the handwritten index.R-18.R-19.Then…R-21.I frowned. I went back to the beginning Then I checked again.There was no R-20.I pulled the files apart, checking every folder, every envelope, every loose sheet.Nothing.My father’s records were meticulous. He didn’t skip numbers. He especially wouldn’t skip one in the middle of an investigation. I sat back.“Where did you go, R-20?”The question hung in the room. I picked up my mother’s journal. Maybe she’d left something behind. I flipped through the pages, searching for anything that might correspond with the missing file.Then I remembered something.A sentence I’d read before but dismissed because I didn’t understand it. I found the page.My mother’s handwriting was faded in places, but the words were clear.“The house where travelers once slept beneath the Rinaldi name s

    Dante's POV The dark hit me like a hand to the chest, not the mere absence of light but the thick, watching kind of dark that presses against your skin and whispers of things you can’t control. For weeks I’d been living in a half-shadow, but that night the shadow moved.The chandelier over my desk

    Dante's POV Luca appeared, disheveled but sharp-eyed, pulling on his jacket as he approached. “What happened?”“She’s gone.”His face stilled. That unshakable calm of his faltered, if only for a breath. Then he was moving. “Cameras. Guards. Every exit. We’ll find her.”I followed, but the mansion’s

    Leona’s POVThe room was quiet, but my body wasn’t.Every nerve still hummed, overstimulated, like a violin string plucked too hard and left trembling. His touch lingered like fire in my skin, and yet all I felt was the coldness that followed it. I lay on my back, staring at the ceiling, my chest r

    Leona's POV My knees weakened. Reality burned, searing through me, leaving me with more questions than answers. I wanted to scream at him, claw the smug calm off his face, demand why he thought I could handle this.Because beneath that ruthless mask of his, I caught it. Just for a second. The flick
