Azzurra

For hours, I stayed by his side. The maids brought food and water, but I ignored all of it. I didn’t want anything but to sit with him, to see him awake, to feel his fingers twitch in mine from time to time. That was enough for me.

Then one of the maids returned, one I barely knew. Her name was Carla or something close.

She bowed her head slightly. “Luna Vienna is asking for you.”

I blinked at her. “She’s what?”

“She wants you to come. She said it’s important.”

My stomach turned a little. I didn’t know what the hell Luna Vienna wanted. Maybe she wanted to scold me for not letting anyone near Adriano or maybe she thought I’d overstepped my place.

I looked back at Adriano.

He was asleep again, his breathing steady. For once, I didn’t feel like he was going to disappear the second I looked away.

So I stood up and followed the maid out.

We walked through the quiet hallways of the mansion. Every footstep echoed like a heartbeat. The walls were clean and cold, paintings staring down

    AdrianoThe awful smell was the first thing that hit me. The sharp, metallic scent of blood hung thick in the air, heavy and hot like smoke. It stuck to the stone walls of the Fortress, turning the place into a graveyard. I turned the last corner, headlights from the Hummer cutting through the darkness and what I saw was straight from a nightmare.The gates were destroyed, ripped off and lying in twisted pieces of wood and metal. The courtyard looked like a war zone. My men, my family were everywhere. Lying still. Not moving. I didn’t need to check. I knew they were dead. The way their bodies lay, the blank stares in their eyes... It was a massacre. A horrible end to the place that had once made me feel safe.Cold anger settled deep in my stomach. This wasn’t a fight. This was a killing spree.“Damn it,” I muttered, gripping the wheel until my knuckles turned white. “Damn it all.”I threw the gear into park and jumped out, door creaking loudly. My gun was already in my hand, every s

    AZZURRAThe silence in the living room was a living thing, pressing in on me, heavy and suffocating. Twenty minutes. He had said twenty minutes. And with each passing second, the air grew colder, the dread in my stomach a churning, icy knot.I paced, a frantic, caged animal. Back and forth, back and forth, my bare feet silent on the polished marble. My hands were clasped over my belly. Our baby. The words echoed in my mind, a fragile, beautiful hope in the face of this absolute nightmare. Adriano was out there, walking into a trap, alone, for our family. For us."He'll call. He has to call," I muttered to myself. My eyes kept darting to my phone, lying uselessly on the coffee table. No ring. No vibration. Nothing.Andrea sat slumped in one of the armchairs, her face buried in her hands, soft, broken sobs shaking her small frame. I couldn't blame her. How could I? Her mother, Luna, was out there, captured by a ghost. Her second older brother, Riccardo, a man she thought was dead, was t

    Adriano.Azzurra rushed to me, grabbing my arm, her fingers digging into my bicep. "No! Adriano, please! It's a trap! You heard him, he wants you alone." Her voice was a desperate plea, laced with a new, terrifying urgency. "You can't go. What if... what if he hurts you?""I have to, Azzurra," I said, pulling my arm free, my gaze hard. "He has Mama. He has Luna. What do you expect me to do? Let her die?""But what about you?" she cried, tears streaming down her face. "What about us?" She clutched at her stomach, a gesture that immediately snagged my attention, pulling me up short. My breath hitched."Azzurra, what is it?" I asked, my voice suddenly softer, fear twisting in my gut for a completely different reason. "Are you hurt?"She shook her head, her eyes brimming with a desperate, frantic energy. "No! I'm... I'm fine. But you are right, you have to go for Mama. I... I'll be fine with here with Andrea and Leonardo.""Then what are you saying? Why are you holding your belly? Who is

    AdrianoThe pieces were finally clicking into place, forming a terrifying picture I hadn’t wanted to acknowledge. A cold dread seeped into my bones, a feeling of something deeply wrong.Could it be? After all this time? The rhetorical question hung in the air. My twin. I’d spent years convinced he was dead, a ghost haunting the darkest corners of my memory. But the impossible had a way of becoming terrifyingly real in my life.I looked at Azzurra, her wide, disbelieving eyes fixed on mine. “It was him,” I stated, the conviction in my voice growing with every racing beat of my heart. “It had to be Riccardo”Her face became filled with confusion. “Riccardo? Who the hell is Riccardo?” The question was hesitant, as if she was in disbelief.“That’s the problem, Azzurra. That’s who he is. My twin brother.” I pulled her closer, my gaze searching hers, wanting her to understand the gravity of what I was about to reveal. “My father… he told me he died years ago. A car accident, he said. But I

    AzzurraI needed to do something, anything to calm my nerves after I had found out that I was pregnant so I went back to the garden. I was still there when I heard the front door open. Who was it? I thought frowning as I wiped my hands on my shorts, and walked back inside just in time to see Adriano closing the door behind him. I wasn’t expecting him back so soon.“Did your flight get canceled?” I asked.He turned, his gaze sweeping over me, then darting around the living room as if he was trying to hide something . His eyes, usually so direct, seemed to hold a flicker of something I couldn't exactly point out. "Forgot something," he murmured, his voice as unrevealing as his expression.I raised a brow, crossing my arms. "Forgot what? Your wallet? Passport?" He didn't answer. Just continued to look around, that stupid stoic mask of his firmly in place. It was the same look that always sent a ripple of unease through me, a chilling reminder of the impenetrable walls he sometimes buil

    Azzura"Adriano is the father of my child!" The woman, who introduced herself as Genesis, Genie for short shrieked, her voice echoing through the usually quiet morning air of our home. "He slept with me four months ago! He even gave me his card!"I watched, my blood pressure steadily rising with each of her fabricated claims. Four months ago? I knew exactly where Adriano was four months ago. He was with me.The audacity of this woman, standing in my living room, spewing such blatant lies, was almost comical if it weren't so infuriating.Adriano's business card, which Genie proudly brandished, was indeed real. That, however, was the only shred of truth in her entire performance. The calmness I desperately clung to, was rapidly slipping. One more lie, one more outrageous accusation, and I was going to lose it. I could practically feel my hands itching to wrap around her throat.Suddenly, Andrea, woken by the commotion, appeared, her eyes blazing. Unlike me, her patience had clearly evap
