Chapter 69

Dermos’ POV

I shouldn’t be standing this close to her.

That thought had been repeating in my head for the last few seconds, yet my body hadn’t moved.

Luciana’s fingers were still curled around my arm in a so gentle manner that I nearly didn't feel it.

The warmth of her touch spread through me in a way that made my chest tighten.

I had faced armed men without blinking. I had ordered executions without hesitation.

But this? This was different, cause this wasn’t a threat. This was a tem

  • THE DON'S SECRET OBSESSION (His Bride, Her Prison)   70

    Chapter 70Dermos’ POVThe silence in the small storage room felt heavier than the walls.Ariella rose to her feet when she noticed me and pressed her back against the far side of the room with her back almost touching the shelves behind her. Her breathing looked uneven, like she had run much farther than just the hallway.Maybe she had. Her eyes lifted slowly to mine. She didn't look angry, at least not exactly.She looked hurt, and that look sat strangely in my chest.I closed the door behind me with the click echoing in the small, tight space.“Ariella,” I called out, and she immediately looked away.That alone irritated me more than it should have.“You’re running from me now?” I asked carefully.“I’m not running,” she muttered in a tight voice.“But you just did,” I muttered as I stepped closer.She crossed her arms over her chest with her gaze still refusing to meet mine.“I didn’t want to interrupt,” she said immediately, and the words came out sharper than she probably intend

    Chapter 69Dermos’ POVI shouldn’t be standing this close to her.That thought had been repeating in my head for the last few seconds, yet my body hadn’t moved.Luciana’s fingers were still curled around my arm in a so gentle manner that I nearly didn't feel it.The warmth of her touch spread through me in a way that made my chest tighten.I had faced armed men without blinking. I had ordered executions without hesitation.But this? This was different, cause this wasn’t a threat. This was a temptation.Luciana lifted her head slightly, her eyes studying my face as if she could see every struggle or fight inside me.“You’re thinking too much,” she whispered in my ear.But my voice came out pretty low in response. “That’s what keeps people alive,” I said.Her lips curved up faintly. “Not everything has to be a battle, Dermos,” she whispered again.I knew that was a lie. Everything in my life was a battle.But Luciana stepped closer all the same, close enough that her body brushed agains

    Chapter 68Dermos’ POVLuciana didn’t move from the window.The lights around the yard stretched across the dark paths outside, casting long shadows over the courtyard walls. From here, one would actually believe the place looked peaceful.But I knew better. Storms rarely announce themselves loudly.Most times, they wait.Luciana’s voice broke the silence. “It happened months ago,” she started.And I leaned back against the desk with the glass still in my hand, watching her reflection through the window.“When did you hook up with Valerio?” I asked carefully, and she nodded slowly.“Yes,” she muttered, and I waited.She turned around then, folding her arms loosely across her chest.“You know what my life used to be,” she said calmly. “Men paid for my time. Some were powerful, some were pathetic, and some thought money meant they owned the world,” she stated softly.Her lips then curved upwards faintly. “But Valerio was different,” she whispered.My grip tightened slightly around the

    Chapter 67Dermos’ POVAs I stepped out, the first thing I noticed was how calm it was.The whole mansion had finally gone quiet, maybe not peaceful yet, but quiet.The kind of quiet that sits on your shoulders and reminds you that something is wrong.The kind that tells you the storm hasn’t passed, that it’s just waiting.I made my way towards the surveillance room and stood with my arms folded over my chest while the monitors glowed against the dark walls.Carlos joined me shortly afterwards, leaning against the table beside me while Mateo walked in and worked with the tech team.Luciana settled in on the chair behind us as I turned to find her sitting quietly.I quickly wondered why she hadn't returned to her room yet, but rather chose to sit and watch.Then the clue flashed across my mind. The silver ring with a thick band.Not many men inside my circle wore rings like that. Not many could.“Do a check on the silver ring Luciana spoke about, she'll point out the closest,” I ordere

    Chapter 66Dermos' POV I paused for a moment as it seemed like the whole room held its breath.My eyes slowly went by everyone, starting from Luciana's worried eyes, to Marco's alert eyes, and Carlos's, who just stared right back at me blankly.They all waited to hear what I would say, if I would condemn her to a gruesome fate or stand by her.And as my eyes came back into Luciana's, I saw my next words clearly before I parted my lips.“Untie her,” I finally ordered.I felt Carlos to my left stepping closer. “Boss—”“Untie her,” I cut him off as he was probably trying to give some speech as to how this wasn't right or whatever.But I'd made up my mind, I don't see this being her plan. I could be wrong, but I won't put it out of place.Mateo stepped forward and loosened the ropes off her wrists first.She winced as she immediately took her hand up and turned her wrist in every possible direction, probably trying to get the blood flowing again.Then he went down to her ankles, loosenin

    Chapter 65Dermos’s POVI didn’t call anyone immediately.I didn’t turn to bark orders.I didn’t think so.The moment the words fell out of Valerio’s lips, my body began moving towards the inner chamber.The night air felt heavier all of a sudden as I crossed the yard. It was too still, way too quiet, like the walls had been listening to our conversation.“Mateo!” I called sharply as I stepped inside.He straightened instantly from the couch, shooting to his feet. “Boss,” he replied.“With me,” I said and moved.He moved immediately, and sure enough, Carlos fell in behind without being asked.The basement was stories down, but I barely felt it as I skipped through.It stood at the far end of the west wing, beneath the older part of the estate, the section that had existed before I expanded the compound. It had a stone foundation with narrow corridors and one entrance, no windows.The kind of place you'd call secure, or at least, it was supposed to be.As we descended the steps, the s
