The Bride He Refused to Lose The Traitor Among Us
The transmission ended. Silence swept through the monastery. No one moved. No one even breathed.Lorenzo slowly looked around the war room. The Chancellor's final words echoed in everyone's mind:> *"...the person you're looking for is already inside the monastery."*> Matteo broke the silence. "Well... that's comforting."Gabriel immediately shut down every digital communication channel. "I've sealed the network. No outgoing calls, no incoming signals. If there's a spy... they're trapped in here with us."Lorenzo nodded, his gaze turning to iron. "Lock down the monastery. No one enters. No one leaves."Within minutes, the ancient stone monastery became an impenetrable fortress. Shadow Wolves guarded every hallway, keeping watch over every servant, guest, and soldier. Even the Royal Guards surrendered their sidearms before being cleared inside.Victor Hale didn't complain. "If there truly is a traitor... none of us are above suspicion."Lorenzo appreciated the discipline in that answe
The Bride He Refused to Lose His Queen's Decision
Silence gripped the monastery.The television screen faded to black, leaving a cold, heavy stillness in the room. No one dared to speak.The timer in everyone's mind continued counting down.*Twenty-four hours.*Twenty-four hours before innocent lives would begin to disappear.Lorrie slowly released Lorenzo's hand. "I have to go."His head turned sharply toward her. "No.""If I surrender—""No.""Lorenzo, listen to me.""I said no."His voice wasn't loud. It was calm—the kind of absolute, immovable calm that frightened everyone who knew him.Matteo stepped cautiously between them. "Boss..."Lorenzo raised one hand, cutting him off completely. "Everyone out."No one argued. Within seconds, the war room emptied as guards and staff filed out quietly. Only Lorenzo and Lorrie remained.For several intense moments, neither spoke. Finally, Lorrie broke the silence."I can't let innocent people die."Lorenzo stared at her, his jaw set like stone. "And I can't let you.""They're someone's chil
The Bride He Refused to Lose The Impossible Choice
The monastery was unusually quiet.Not peaceful.Waiting.Everyone could feel it. Storms always came after silence.Lorenzo stood in the war room studying tactical maps while Gabriel traced every financial transaction linked to the Swiss account.Nothing. Every trail disappeared into dead ends.Matteo tossed another file onto the wooden table with a heavy thud. "Dante is a ghost."Gabriel sighed, rubbing his tired eyes. "Ghosts leave footprints.""This one doesn't."Lorenzo finally spoke, his voice low and calculating. "Then stop looking for footprints. Find what he's protecting."Gabriel looked up, blinking. "That's... actually a good idea."Matteo smirked, leaning back against the desk. "Our Boss is thinking like a husband now."Lorenzo raised an eyebrow. "And what exactly does that mean?""You've become patient.""I've always been patient."Matteo burst into laughter. "No. You used to solve problems with bullets. Now you solve them because your wife would be disappointed."Even Lor
The Bride He Refused to Lose A Wife on Trial
Silence filled the war room. No one spoke. The glowing computer screen still displayed the transaction details:> **€250,000,000**> **Status:** Transferred / Completed> **Account Holder:** Lorrie Elmundo Dimitri> Lorrie stared at the screen as though it belonged to someone else. "I didn't do this." Her voice barely rose above a whisper."I know," Lorenzo answered without hesitation.She slowly turned toward him. "You... believe me?"His gray eyes never wavered. "I don't need evidence to know my wife."Those words broke something inside her. The fear she'd been holding back dissolved into tears, and she stepped into his arms without thinking. He held her tightly, resting his chin lightly against her hair."They're trying to divide us," she murmured."They won't."Across the room, Matteo quietly looked away. Gabriel cleared his throat. "I'll... give you two a minute.""No," Lorenzo's voice remained steady. "Stay." He looked at everyone gathered around the table. "This is exactly what
The Bride He Refused to Lose Choose Your King
The war room remained silent long after Dante's message ended. No one moved. No one spoke.Lorenzo stood perfectly still, his gray eyes fixed on the dark screen. His voice was barely above a whisper when he spoke: "He wants my wife."Matteo slammed his fist onto the table. "Over my dead body."Gabriel quickly pulled up the diagnostic windows for Dante's transmission. "I've already started tracing the signal.""Anything?" Lorenzo demanded."It's bouncing through twelve different satellite relays," Gabriel muttered, tapping furiously on his keyboard.Matteo groaned, crossing his arms. "So... nothing."Gabriel sighed. "He wanted us to try."Lorrie quietly stepped into the room, her footsteps soft against the stone floor. "I heard everything."Lorenzo immediately walked toward her, his jaw set. "You shouldn't be here.""Why?""Because from this moment... you don't leave my sight."She looked straight into his eyes. "I won't hide.""You won't have a choice."She folded her arms, raising an
The Bride He Refused to Lose The Man Who Vanished in Smoke
Smoke billowed heavily across the monastery courtyard as frantic cries echoed in every direction."Medic!""Secure the perimeter!""Watch the rooftops!"Lorenzo's first instinct wasn't to chase the shadows responsible for the attack. It was to find Lorrie. He tightened his arms around her, shielding her frame, until he felt her shift against him."Lorrie."She coughed softly, pushing gently against his chest. "I'm... okay."He pulled back just enough to examine her face in the hazy light. A small, superficial cut marked her forehead, but nothing more. Only then did the heavy weight in his chest lift enough to let him breathe."I'm fine," she whispered, looking up at him."You don't look fine."She smiled weakly. "I'm alive.""That's all that matters."Matteo emerged from the settling smoke, his dark tactical gear covered in white stone dust. "The Chancellor!"Everyone turned toward the center of the courtyard. The spot where Theodore Blackwood had been standing just moments prior was
