A chilling silence settled over the Dimitri Estate.

From the balcony, Lorenzo looked down at the endless line of black SUVs. More than three hundred armed men surrounded the estate, yet none of them had raised a weapon. Marco stood alone at the front, a white flag resting in his hand.

It was the strangest siege Lorenzo had ever witnessed.

"Lorenzo!" Gabriel warned from behind. "It could be a trap."

Lorenzo nodded slowly. "I know. But he's not here to attack... not yet."

Lorrie stepped onto the

    A chilling silence settled over the Dimitri Estate.From the balcony, Lorenzo looked down at the endless line of black SUVs. More than three hundred armed men surrounded the estate, yet none of them had raised a weapon. Marco stood alone at the front, a white flag resting in his hand.It was the strangest siege Lorenzo had ever witnessed."Lorenzo!" Gabriel warned from behind. "It could be a trap."Lorenzo nodded slowly. "I know. But he's not here to attack... not yet."Lorrie stepped onto the balcony beside him. "Don't go alone."Lorenzo smiled faintly. "When have I ever listened to that?"She gave him a sharp look. "Exactly."Before he could reply, she reached up and gently straightened his tie. The gesture was so ordinary—so deeply intimate in the middle of a war—that everyone around them quietly turned away."You forgot this," she said softly.Lorenzo covered her hand with his. "If I don't come back—"She immediately placed a finger over his lips. "No. We promised. **Together.**"

    Silence consumed the Dimitri Estate. Every pair of eyes turned toward Rosa, whose face had become ghostly pale. She stared at the security monitor as though she had seen a ghost."That's impossible..." she stammered. "...Isabella died twenty-five years ago."Lorenzo looked at her carefully. "You knew her?"Rosa slowly nodded. "I held her hand... when she supposedly died."Lorrie frowned. "Supposedly?"Rosa closed her eyes. **"There was never a body."**The room fell completely silent.At the front gates, the woman dressed in white stood perfectly still. She showed no fear despite being surrounded by heavily armed guards. She simply offered a calm smile."I'll wait," she said softly.The head of security spoke into his radio. *"Boss? What are your orders?"*Lorenzo answered immediately: "Bring her to the main hall."Matteo glanced at him, concerned. "You sure?""If she's lying, we'll know. And if she isn't..." Lorenzo didn't finish the sentence.Minutes later, the grand doors swung open

    Silence filled the underground chamber. Leo's final words echoed in everyone's mind.> *«"He's lying! You're not the one he really wants!"»*> The screen went black.Lorrie's hands began to tremble. "What did he mean?"Lorenzo stared at the dark monitor, his mind racing. Marco had kidnapped Leo—but not to hurt him, and not even to bargain for Lorrie.*Then why?*Gabriel replayed the last few seconds of the footage. "Freeze."The image stopped just before the transmission ended. Marco was whispering into Leo's ear. Gabriel zoomed in.Lorrie frowned. "Can you enhance the audio?""I'm trying."After a few moments, a few faint words emerged through the static:*«"...the letter..."»**«"...don't let Lorenzo..."»*The recording ended. Gabriel looked up at Lorenzo."The letter," Gabriel said quietly. "It was never about Leo. It was always about Massimo's letter."The Chairman suddenly laughed. "So that's it."Everyone turned to him."Marco doesn't need the empire. He doesn't need the throne.

    The chamber remained in a heavy, suffocating silence.Everyone's attention was glued to the black screen where Leo's frightened face had vanished only seconds prior.Lorrie's knees buckled under the weight of the terror, her strength suddenly giving out completely. "He has Leo... oh God, Marco has my brother..."Lorenzo caught her instantly, wrapping his strong arm around her waist before her knees could touch the stone floor. He pulled her flush against his chest, his hold unyielding."I will bring him back, Lorrie," he vowed, his voice cutting through the damp air like steel. "I give you my word."She looked up into his gray eyes, her breath coming in ragged gasps. "You always say that, Lorenzo.""And I have never once broken a promise to you," he replied, his gaze unwavering, absolute, and certain.For the first time since this nightmare had begun, Lorrie felt the cold dread in her chest ease—just a fraction. She believed him completely.A soft, metallic scraping sound echoed throu

    The subterranean chamber fell into a suffocating, deadly silence.The Chairman stood at the entrance, flanked by more than twenty heavily armed mercenaries with their weapons raised and locked. His smile was smooth, calm, and utterly victorious.Slowly, without breaking eye contact, Lorenzo folded Massimo’s handwritten letter, refusing to skim even a single line. He slipped it deep inside the breast pocket of his tactical jacket.The Chairman's dark eyes narrowed slightly, his triumphant smirk faltering. "I wouldn't do that, boy.""And I wouldn't threaten my family inside my own home," Lorenzo replied smoothly, his tone low and laced with absolute lethality.The Chairman chuckled dryly, adjusting his sling. "Still dramatic. Just like your father."Lorrie stepped directly beside Lorenzo, her shoulder pressing against his. Her small hand found his, her fingers lacing through his bruised knuckles. He squeezed her hand once—a silent, unyielding promise.Behind them, Matteo’s eyes darted a

    "Lorenzo!"Rosa's terrified cry echoed down from the dark, shadowy gallery of the mansion.Every light on the ground floor had gone out in a sudden, blinding flash. The Dimitri estate, usually an impenetrable fortress fortified with state-of-the-art security grids, was suddenly swallowed by a suffocating, unnatural silence.Only the red strobe lights of the emergency alarm system continued to blare, casting bloody reflections across the high walls.Lorenzo took the grand staircase two steps at a time, his customized pistol held ready in a low-ready stance."Lorrie, stay behind me!" he commanded sharply without looking back.She completely ignored the order, her tactical boots clicking against the marble right behind him. "I'm not leaving Rosa alone!"Matteo let out a long, dramatic sigh as he and Gabriel rushed up the steps behind them, rifles raised. "There she goes again. Absolute zero regard for self-preservation."Gabriel smirked faintly through the dark. "Like husband, like wife.
