LOGIN**The moment her lips parted, I seized the chance, slipping my tongue inside and tangling with hers. She trembled beneath my hold, her tiny fingers clutching over my bare shoulders, caught between resistance and surrender. She wanted to push me away but didn't know how. But I deepened the kiss, claiming her mouth like it was mine to take. She whimpered, gasped, her soft protest lost between us as I swallowed every sound she made. Her body tensed, her struggles growing more frantic as if she was trying to say something but I kept devouring her mouth. But then....one gasp shattered everything. "Luca! Brother!”** Sofia thought returning to the Virelli mansion after years abroad would feel like coming home. Instead, she walks straight back into the orbit of Luca Virelli — her cold, ruthless foster brother and the feared head of the Virelli mafia. The same man who spent years making her feel like she didn’t belong. But something has changed. Because the moment Luca sees her again, his icy indifference shifts into something far more dangerous. OBSESSION.
View MoreOne year after the birth, the formal review took place in the study under Luca’s authority.Sofia sat to his right as required counsel. Victor stood near the door with the access logs and medical summaries of the preceding twelve months. Serena was not present for the deliberation. She would receive the outcome, not shape it.Luca reviewed the record in silence: clean intervals, no security breaches, consistent attendance, a child who had thrived under the house’s care, a mother who had remained inside the limits without performance and without collapse. Lorenzo’s attachment to Lucia was noted as stable and supervised. Matteo’s continued logged presence at the housing was noted as compliant and non-disruptive.When Luca finished reading, he looked at Sofia.“Your counsel.”Sofia’s voice was steady. “The structure held. The child is healthy and attached to the household. The mother has not attempted to undermine the terms. Expanding access modestly — still supervised, still scheduled,
The first developmental flag appeared in the medical notes at four months.Nothing critical. Lucia’s weight gain had slowed for a two-week stretch, then corrected. The household physicians noted it, adjusted the feeding guidance, and marked the file for closer observation. Luca received the summary the same afternoon and authorized the adjusted protocol without expanding the circle of decision-makers. Sofia was informed as counsel on welfare matters. Serena was informed, through Victor, that the child’s medical status remained stable and that the access schedule was unchanged.She received the information in the prepared housing and sat with it for a long time after the staff member left.Matteo was permitted entry an hour later. He found her standing at the window with her arms folded tightly across her midsection, the posture she used when the arithmetic of the schedule had become harder to breathe through.“They told me her weight dipped,” Serena said without turning. “Then it corr
The schedule did not bend.Twice a week. Thirty minutes. Supervised. Logged. Serena arrived on time for every interval, took Lucia into her arms the moment the nurse allowed it, and spent the full window speaking in a low, steady voice that never rose enough to draw intervention. She told the child she was growing. She repeated her name. She described the way the light fell across the room. She never asked for more time. When the interval ended, she released Lucia without resistance and walked out under escort with her face composed and her hands empty.The cost of that composure lived in the hours afterward.Matteo saw it every time he was permitted into the prepared housing. Serena would sit near the window for a long stretch after each access, silent, her posture careful, as if the absence of the child’s weight had left a physical imbalance she was still learning to correct. He did not fill the silence with false comfort. He sat across from her under the guard’s line of sight and r
The regular access schedule activated without adjustment.Twice weekly. Thirty minutes. Supervised. Logged. Fixed days, fixed times, no informal additions. Victor issued the calendar to the relevant parties under Luca’s final approval. Serena received her copy through the housing staff. Matteo received confirmation that his own logged visits to the housing remained separate from the access intervals and subject to the same revocation language. The structure did not blur the two.Serena attended every interval.She arrived under escort, held her daughter for the full thirty minutes, spoke in a low voice that the guards logged as present but did not fully capture, and released the child when the time ended without requiring physical intervention. The composure cost her. By the third interval the cost was visible in the careful way she walked back to the vehicle and in the long silence that followed once she was returned to the housing. She did not miss a single scheduled contact. She al
