GIA’S POV

“I am glad you both reached on time. We were really worried.”

My father’s voice reaches me before I can even take another step forward. It carries warmth, relief… and that familiar thread of concern that never seems to leave him. His eyes scan me instinctively—from my face to my posture—as if silently confirming that I am truly fine, that nothing has gone wrong in the time I was away.

A small, knowing smile curves my lips.

“I’m fine, Papa,” I say softly, stepping closer.

But even as I

  • The Desire A Tale Of Luna's Longing   CH-60

    GIA’S POV He moved away from me.Not hurried.Not angry.Just… distant.Like something inside him had already left the room.He walked to the other side and stopped, gripping the back of a chair. His knuckles turned pale against the wood, his back facing me like a wall I wasn’t allowed to cross.The silence stretched.Thick.Uncomfortable.Unforgiving.I stood there, frozen for a moment, my fingers clutching the fabric of my shorts as if grounding myself.Gathering courage felt like gathering shattered pieces of glass—slow, painful, but necessary.I always knew this wouldn’t be easy.Being with him was never meant to be soft.Never meant to be simple.He was broken.And I… I don’t know when I decided that I wanted to fix him.Or if I even could.But I wanted to try.I wanted to share whatever it was that haunted him.Even if it meant losing pieces of myself along the way.Yet here he was… choosing distance.Choosing solitude.Choosing pain over… me.We stood there, both root

    GIA’S POVslowly lifted my gaze—and the moment our eyes met, something inside me stilled.Completely.There was a question in his eyes.Not spoken.Not demanded.But there.Heavy.Waiting.And I knew exactly what he was asking.A breath caught in my throat.I have always liked tall men… but this man—he wasn’t just tall. He towered. Over my space. Over my thoughts. Over my control.It wasn’t just his height.It was his presence.“What’s wrong?” His voice broke through softly, but there was a sharp edge beneath it. “You seem… off.”I shifted slightly, rolling my shoulders in discomfort, trying to ignore how tightly the fabric clung to me.“I’m not comfortable in this dress,” I admitted quietly. “It’s too tight… I think.”His gaze dropped instantly—assessing, calculating, noticing everything.“Then why aren’t you changing, princess?”Simple question.Too simple.“I’m too lazy to do that,” I murmured, letting my forehead fall against his chest.The moment I leaned into him—Everything cha

    Gia’s POVThe moment Silvy and I stepped out, the air shifted.I didn’t need to look to feel it—but I did anyway.Vincenzo stood just outside my door, as if he had been about to walk in… or perhaps, waiting.His eyes found mine instantly.And just like that, everything else faded.There it was again—that look. Raw. Unfiltered. Something dangerously close to adoration… but laced with possession so deep it almost unsettled me.But then—His gaze dropped.To my hand.Still locked with Silvy’s.And I watched it happen.That shift.Subtle to anyone else… but not to me anymore.His eyes darkened—not just in color, but in intent.Sharp. Controlled. Dangerous.A silent storm brewing beneath that perfectly composed exterior.A part of me tightened.By now, I would be a fool not to understand what this man was capable of when something… or someone… crossed an invisible line.So before that storm could take form—I slipped my hand out of Silvy’s grasp.Deliberately.And walked straight toward Vi

    GIA'S POVMorning did not arrive gently—it seeped in.It came with distant echoes of footsteps, hushed instructions, the clinking of glass, and the low hum of preparations crawling through the walls of the palace like a living thing awakening. The house was no longer still… it was breathing.Reluctantly, I peeled my eyes open.A thin stream of sunlight filtered through the tightly drawn curtains, painting faint gold lines across the room. It wasn’t warm. It wasn’t comforting. Just… there. A quiet reminder that the day had begun, whether I was ready for it or not.I stretched slowly, my limbs heavy, as if sleep hadn’t truly rested me—only paused me. Sitting up, I exhaled deeply, brushing a hand over my face.Today would be long.Not because I knew everything that would unfold… but because I could feel it.Ara had arranged a charity ball—an elegant event wrapped in music and appearances. A noble cause. A calculated move. She wanted the Marking to mean something more… to turn it into opp

    GIA’S POVA painful smile curves slowly on my lips as I watch her fuss over the dresses, her brows knitted together in worry as if the world depends on my approval.Love.This… this is what love looks like, I think.Not grand gestures.Not words.But this quiet, relentless care—the kind that doesn’t ask, doesn’t demand, just gives… endlessly.“I don’t have to see anything,” I say softly, my voice carrying more warmth than I intended. “Not only do I like everything you get for me, I love it. So, stop worrying like your old man.” I nudge her lightly with my shoulder before adding with a teasing roll of my eyes, “He is genuinely old, but not you. At this rate, you’ll start looking like a grandma before him with all this tension.”She gasps dramatically, swatting my arm.“Whatever!” she huffs, though I can see the corner of her lips twitching. “Now don’t sit here like a potato. You don’t have time. Get ready.”She quickly picks up a dress and thrusts it into my hands.“Wear this.”I roll

There is happiness in her touch, a quiet relief that seeps through the way she holds me.“You’re finally here,” she mur
