Three days passed.

Three days of unanswered questions.

Three days of unexpected smiles.

For the first time in years, Sofia caught herself looking forward to something that had nothing to do with family obligations.

"...You're smiling again."

Rosa's voice pulled her from her thoughts.

Sofia looked up from the files on her desk.

"I am not."

"You've been staring at the same page for ten minutes."

"I've been thinking."

"About the annual financial report?"

Sofia closed the folder.

"...No."

    The first gunshot shattered the evening before anyone realized what was happening.A little girl screamed.The glass doors of the Moretti Foundation exploded inward, sending shards scattering across the polished floor."Everybody down!" a woman cried.Panic erupted.Children burst into tears as volunteers scrambled to shield them. Mothers clutched their sons and daughters, ducking behind chairs while another volley of bullets tore through the reception area.Sofia froze for only a heartbeat."Get the children away from the windows!" she shouted.Her voice cut through the chaos."Move! To the basement! Hurry!"The volunteers snapped into action.Rosa grabbed the nearest child and rushed toward the emergency staircase."This way! Don't stop!"Another gunshot echoed through the building.A framed photograph crashed onto the floor.One of the women stumbled, clutching her ankle."I can't run!"Sofia hurried to her side."You can.""No... please...""You have to."Looping the woman's arm o

    The cheerful chatter in the hotel lobby faded into a distant hum.Alessandro frowned at Bianca."What did you just say?"Bianca glanced toward Sofia, who still stood several feet away with her phone pressed to her ear. Matteo's name flashed across the screen, and whatever he was saying had stolen the color from her face.Keeping her voice low, Bianca gripped Alessandro's arm."Her name is Sofia Moretti."Alessandro gave a short, disbelieving laugh."No.""I'm serious.""You've made a mistake.""I haven't."He looked over Bianca's shoulder at Sofia.The woman laughing with children, talking about charity, and arguing over paintings couldn't possibly belong to the family he had spent his life hating."You're certain?""I've seen her before," Bianca replied. "Business magazines. Charity galas. She's the Moretti heiress."Alessandro's eyes never left Sofia."...Impossible."Before Bianca could answer, Sofia slipped her phone back into her purse and walked toward them with an apologetic sm

    The ballroom glittered beneath a canopy of crystal chandeliers.Soft music drifted through the air while guests in tailored tuxedos and flowing designer gowns moved gracefully across the polished marble floor.It was the annual Valmont Foundation Charity Gala, attended by Europe's wealthiest business moguls, politicians, philanthropists, and celebrities.No one carried weapons inside.At least, none that could be seen.Sofia stepped out of the black sedan and adjusted the emerald-green gown hugging her figure.Rosa let out a low whistle."If I didn't know you, I'd think you were about to steal every man's heartbeat in that ballroom."Sofia chuckled."I'm here to represent the foundation.""Mhm.""And secure donations.""Mhm."Rosa folded her arms."You've said that three times already.""Because it's true.""It's because you're nervous.""I'm not.""You are."Sofia sighed dramatically."I hate these events.""You hate crowds.""I hate pretending.""You'll survive."Rosa linked their a

    Rain tapped gently against the stained-glass windows of St. Michael's Cathedral.The last worshipper had left nearly ten minutes ago, yet Father Gabriel remained seated in the front pew. His fingers rolled a wooden rosary between them while his eyes rested on the crucifix above the altar.The heavy doors creaked open."You wanted to see me."Father Gabriel looked over his shoulder and smiled faintly."Thank you for coming, Vittorio."Don Vittorio Romano walked down the aisle with measured steps, removing his leather gloves before sitting beside the old priest."I had to cancel two meetings.""I suppose I've become expensive."Vittorio chuckled."You always were."Silence settled between them.The kind that only existed between people who had known each other for decades.Father Gabriel finally spoke."Do you ever think about him?"Vittorio didn't need to ask who he meant."Every day."The priest nodded."I thought so."Vittorio rested both hands on his cane."Some days I hate him.""A

    The morning sun spilled across the marble floors of the Moretti estate, bathing the grand mansion in a golden glow that failed to warm the people living inside it.Sofia Moretti stood barefoot in the greenhouse, watering a row of white orchids.Unlike the mansion, this was her sanctuary.No bodyguards.No shouting.No discussions about territories or revenge.Just the scent of fresh soil and blooming flowers."You'll spoil them if you keep talking to them."Sofia laughed softly without turning."I don't talk to flowers.""No?"Rosa stepped inside, balancing two cups of coffee in her hands."Then who were you smiling at?"Sofia accepted one of the cups."They're better listeners than people.""They don't interrupt.""They also don't lie."Rosa took a sip before studying her best friend."You've been hiding in this greenhouse all week.""I'm working.""You've hired gardeners for that.""They don't prune the orchids the way I like."Rosa rolled her eyes."Excuses."Sofia smiled."You kno
