I stared into space, my mind still blank and tired. I didn't get a wink of sleep after what happened last night. My eyes clued to my windows in fear that she might reappear.

My hand curled around the gun I was given, I found it later on under my bed but a bit deeper. My ears alert for the tiniest sound and my body ready to react.

I heard knock, it was sharp and sudden before my door opened and my controlled body aimed the gun straight at it in reflex. The guard just glared at me looking unfazed. “Mr. Castelli wants to see you.” He announced and immediately turned to leave. “Now!”

My stomach twisted as a felt a rush of anxiety. He's back.

I slowly rose from my bed, my thoughts spiralling. I could barely hear the echo of my footsteps over the panic in my head as I was escorted to his.

The break-in

The crazy lady.

He has been informed about what happened, f course he had. Why else would I be summoned?

The walk through the hall felt like I was descending into the underworld.

  • The Billionaire’s Captive Bride   Epilogue

    It’s been two years since the war ended. Two years since Leo went down on one knee, and the world I thought would always be filled with shadows finally bloomed with light.Life didn’t just go on…it changed.Nicole still visits, her smile brighter than ever. But her vengeance hasn’t ended. Dario remains alive, but not living. He’s her toy, her prisoner, her reminder that some monsters don’t get clean endings. She heals him just enough, then breaks him again. I once asked her why she doesn’t just end it. She smiled and said, “Because my father didn’t get to see him suffer.”Dario is forgotten by the world, despised by all who once trembled in his name. His empire now in ruins, his legacy reduced to Nicole’s punishment.Marcello wasn’t killed either. Leo saw to that. He is alive, but barely. His body was broken, his mind fractured. He will never rise again…reduced to a shadow of the threat he once was. Sometimes he screams into the night, and sometimes he mutters like a child. But he is

    The sound of the front door opening was followed by a familiar, singsong voice.“Where is my niece?!” Luciana’s words boomed through the house like she owned the place.I turned, cheeks burning as Leo’s arms tightened around me. He stood behind me, chest pressed to my back, head resting against my shoulder. Every now and then, he pressed featherlight kisses against my neck just to see me squirm.Luciana froze in the doorway, eyes wide, then she smirked. “Oh, wow. You two can’t even stand three feet apart, huh? You’re practically glued together.”I shot her a glare, but it only made her laugh harder. My blush deepened as Leo chuckled lowly behind me, obviously enjoying my embarrassment.But then my eyes softened as they landed on my father. He sat on the couch, cradling my baby girl in his arms. My daughter. Her little fists were curled tight, lips parted in her sleep. My heart clenched.Papa stroked her tiny hand with his thumb, his own eyes shining with something that made me swallow

    The floor trembled beneath me before the sound even reached us. An explosion ripped through the outer wall, shaking the entire compound. Dust cascaded from the rafters, thick and choking. My ears rang as shouts erupted, men barking orders in panic, weapons cocking and clattering.Another explosion ripped through the outer wall, rattling the chandeliers, showering dust from the rafters. The hall filled with the metallic snap of rifles and the clatter of overturned furniture shoved into makeshift barricades.Gunfire split the night. Short, vicious bursts outside the walls, closer, closer, until I could feel it inside my chest. My breath caught. Leo.Marcello’s eyes found mine across the chaos. He looked… alive. Thriving on the panic, his smile twisted, his coat hanging open like a madman’s cloak.“Bring her here!” he roared.Hands gripped my arms, bruising me as they yanked me forward. I stumbled, my knees nearly buckling, until they shoved me hard against Marcello’s side. His arm clamp

    They moved me again.The ropes dug deeper into my wrists as they dragged me down another set of unfamiliar corridors. The air was different here…colder, heavier, smelling faintly of damp stone and gun oil. Another compound. Another cage.They shoved me into a chair, the light above swaying in lazy arcs. Marcello was already there, perched casually on the edge of a desk like a king waiting for his entertainment.“You travel well, Lena,” he mocked, eyeing the bruises on my arms. “Maybe captivity suits you after all. Quiet. Controlled. That stubborn spark of yours looks dimmer every day.”I glared, refusing to give him the satisfaction of silence this time. “If I’m quiet, it’s because I’m saving my strength for when Leo puts an end to this circus.”His smirk wavered, just for a second, then his eyes darkened. “You really think he’ll get to you in time? Or at all?” He leaned forward, his voice dropping to a mocking whisper. “What if I told you he’s already given up? That every hour you si

    LEO'S POV Pain exploded at the back of my head. A white-hot flash burst in my vision. My knees buckled, my gun clattered to the floor. I turned, just enough to see a shadow looming, before everything went black.When I opened my eyes, the ceiling swam above me. My head throbbed like it had been split open.I groaned, forcing myself upright. My body was heavy, sluggish, but I shoved the weakness down. I scanned the room.My throat felt raw, but my voice cut through the air like a blade. “Where’s Lena?”Silence.The rage stirred instantly. “Where is she?”Sasha flinched. Mrs. Thornton looked at the ground. Lena’s mother pressed her trembling hands to her mouth.My chest froze.No.“No.” My voice shook as I staggered to my feet. “Tell me she’s here. Tell me she’s safe.”Sasha whispered, “Leo…”“Tell me!” I roared.Their silence was my answer.She was gone.My vision blurred with fury, my hands shaking.The next day, I gathered them all in the grand hall…every ally, who had dared to take

    Leo’s grip on my wrist was iron, unyielding. His eyes burned like storms as he leaned closer, his voice low and commanding.“Go back to our room, Lena. Now.”My chest tightened. “No. I’m not leaving you to face this alone.”His jaw worked as he pulled me closer, his breath hot against my face. “You’re not leaving me. You’re trusting me. For once in your life, just trust me to handle this.”My throat burned. “I do trust you, but I’m not letting you disappear on me again. Not after what happened the last time.”“Lena…”“No!” My voice cracked, my fingers curling tight into his shirt. “You don’t get to tell me to sit in a room and wait while you bleed out somewhere! I can’t…”His mouth crushed mine before the sobs could spill. The kiss was fierce, punishing, and desperate. When he pulled back, his hands framed my face, and his voice dropped to a whisper.“I will always come back to you. Do you hear me? Always, Lena. I will not leave you. But if you don’t go now, if you make me worry about
