The Moretti estate was never loud. Even the sea that rolled below the cliff seemed to know when to hush. The sound of servants, footsteps, and far-off engines blended into the same quiet rhythm. Sia liked that. Silence made it easier to think. But lately, the quiet felt different.

It wasn’t the wind or the walls. It was Lia. Sia had watched her for weeks. The girl who had once burned with anger now moved like someone learning how to breathe again. Her eyes still carried a storm, but it wasn’t rage anymore.

One morning Sia found her on the balcony. Lia sat barefoot, a cup of tea cooling beside her. The sky was softgreyy.

“You’re up early,” Sia said.

Lia turned her head slightly, a thin smile touching her lips. “Couldn’t sleep.”

Sia leaned against the doorway. “Dreams again?”

Lia shook her head. “No. Just thinking.”

“That can be dangerous here,” Sia said with a faint grin.

Lia’s laugh was quiet. “You sound like Dimitri.”

“I’ll take that as an insult,” Sia replied, making

  • THE DONS' VIRGIN   COURAGE

    LIA The door clicked softly behind me. I leaned against the door, my heart still beating too fast. I couldn’t stop replaying it — my words to Salve and Dimitri. Every sentence. Every breath. “I’ll do it,” I’d said. “I’ll be your hired womb.” Even now, the sound of my own voice made me flinch. The memory of Dimitri’s expression — surprise flashing for just a second before his usual smirk returned — kept echoing in my mind. Salve had just looked at me with amusement. But the part that wouldn’t stop ringing inside me was what came next. “My only condition,” I had said, trying not to tremble, “is that I can still see Quan.” It had felt like forever before Dimitri laughed while Salve’s gaze softened just slightly, like he was looking at a child who had finally learned how to walk. They hadn’t said no. They hadn’t said yes either. But I had seen enough in their eyes to know they’d accept it, one way or another. Now, standing in my room, I let out a shaky breath. “What did I just

    QUAN The afternoon light poured through the tall windows, scattering over the marble floor like liquid gold. I had just returned from the training wing, sweat still clinging to my neck, when I saw Sia waiting near the corridor. Her expression gave her away before she spoke — a strange mix of calm. “Sia,” I greeted, rolling my sleeves up. “You’ve been waiting?” She nodded once. “For you.” I frowned, stepping closer. “Is something wrong?” “Not wrong,” she said slowly. “Just… surprising.” I crossed my arms. “Say it.” Her gaze flicked up to mine, steady and unreadable. “Lia spoke with Salve and Dimitri today.” That caught my attention. “About what?” Sia hesitated, then smiled faintly . “She told them she would agree to be their hired womb.” I froze. “She what?” Sia nodded, her tone calm, matter-of-fact. “You heard me. She told them directly. But—” she paused, watching my face carefully “—she had a condition.” I swallowed hard. “A condition?” “She said she’ll on

  • THE DONS' VIRGIN   PLAN BENEATH THE TEASE

    The room was dim, bathed in the amber glow of the fireplace. Dimitri lounged across the velvet couch, one leg thrown over the armrest, a glass of wine dangling loosely in his hand. Salve, already half undressed, sat on the edge of the bed, his usual calm face softened by amusement. For a long moment, they said nothing. The quiet stretched between them, only the soft crackle of fire breaking it.Finally, Salve tilted his head, eyes glinting with mischief. “So tell me, my little feral cat,” he began, voice smooth as smoke, “why did you have to be so dramatic tonight? You practically cornered the poor girl with your words.” Dimitri smirked, swirling the wine lazily. “Oh, you mean when I asked her if she wanted to pet a wolf?” “Yes.” Salve leaned back on his palms. “That.” Dimitri’s grin widened. “What can I say? It was entertaining.” “Entertaining,” Salve repeated. “You call making her blush until she forgot her own name entertaining?” Dimitri chuckled. “You’re only mad becau

    LIA The dining room was quiet. Only the ticking of the old clock filled the space between us. The long table stretched like a wall between three people pretending not to think too much — Salve at the head, silent and unreadable; Dimitri beside him, tapping his fork against his plate, pretending not to be bored. And me — sitting straight, palms pressed to my knees, trying to stop my heartbeat from echoing loud enough for them to hear. I had rehearsed the words all morning. I had told myself over and over that I wouldn’t stutter, wouldn’t tremble, wouldn’t look away. Now the moment was here, and every part of me wanted to run. But I didn’t. Not this time. I lifted my chin. “I’ve made a decision.” That got their attention. Dimitri looked up first, his dark eyes glinting with curiosity. Salve didn’t move, but I saw his jaw tighten slightly — the smallest sign that he was listening. “I’ll do it,” I said. My voice sounded steadier than I felt. “I’ll be what you brought me here for

  • THE DONS' VIRGIN   STRINGS PULLED

    DIMITRI The thing about control is that most people mistake it for strength. But real control—the one that bends people without them realizing—is all about patience. And I’ve always had just enough of that to make the world dance. The morning after the shopping trip, the house was unusually quiet. Salve had locked himself in the study again, doing whatever gods of empire-building demanded. Lia, predictably, had disappeared somewhere into the gardens. And Quan—our golden boy — was pretending not to look for her. I watched from the balcony, cigarette dangling from my lips, the taste of smoke and sunlight sharp on my tongue. Below, Lia sat under the olive tree, a book open but unread in her lap. The wind teased strands of her hair across her face. She looked softer today. Weaker, maybe. Or maybe that was the illusion she wanted us to believe. Either way, she didn’t belong here, and yet she did.Then there was Quan. He lingered near the fountain, phone in hand, pretending to scroll.
