Bianca’s POV

The Marchetti estate had a specific quality in the days after something went wrong.

She had grown up with it. Known it since childhood — the particular atmosphere of a house that was reorganizing itself around a wound. The staff moving more quietly. The doors closing with more care. The meals appearing and disappearing without the usual commentary. Everything functioning with the specific efficiency of people who understood that the man at the head of the house was in

  • The Don’s Secret Obsession    The Two Faces

    Serena reached the edge of the dockside compound just as the last of the floodlights swept across the cracked pavement. Warehouse 17 loomed ahead, its steel doors sealed. She slowed her breathing, straightened her bloodied shirt, and forced the pain in her side into the background. She had escaped the Virelli estate. She had followed Eros’s instructions. Now she would reclaim her place.She stepped into the open and raised one hand in the old signal—two fingers, then a closed fist.A spotlight snapped onto her.“Identify,” a voice barked from the shadows.“Nightshade,” Serena answered, using the code. “I’m expected.”There was a long pause. Longer than there should have been.The steel doors opened. Miguel stepped out with four armed men. His expression was unreadable, but the guns were already raised—not quite aimed at her, yet close enough.“You’re late,” Miguel said.Serena frowned. “I sent the message. I was running from Luca’s men. Where is my uncle?”Miguel studied her face with

    The convoy carrying Sofia sped through the industrial outskirts, headlights cutting across empty lots and rusted shipping containers. Inside the SUV, the two armed men in the front seats spoke in low, clipped tones. Sofia kept her posture rigid, one hand pressed to her injured side, the other resting loosely near the door handle. Every instinct screamed at her to stay alert.The man in the passenger seat turned slightly. “Eros wants a full report the second we arrive. What happened at the estate?”Sofia answered in a cold register. “They figured out the twin angle. The doctor talked. Luca had me in a holding room. I cut the restraints and went for the child, but the crib was empty. They were waiting. I barely made it out.”The man grunted. “And the baby?”“Still inside. Heavily guarded now. I couldn’t risk it.”He nodded as if that answered something important. “Eros won’t like that. He wanted the boy as leverage.”Sofia stared out the window, forcing her expression into one of cold c

  • The Don’s Secret Obsession    The Double Game

    Serena moved like a shadow through the service corridors of the Virelli estate, heart pounding with cold exhilaration. The nursery wing was only two turns away. She could already picture the quiet room, the sleeping child, the moment she would reclaim her leverage....or eliminate it. Eros’s orders were clear. The boy was either a tool or a liability. She paused at a corner, listening. Distant footsteps. Guards changing shifts. Perfect timing. What she did not hear or anticipate were the three men who tracked her from the rooftops and the dark garden paths, communicating in short, silent bursts through encrypted earpieces. Luca’s orders had been precise: Do not intercept. Do not engage. Follow. Report every step. Victor’s voice came through the channel, low and steady. “Target heading for the nursery. Confirm.” “Confirmed,” one of the trackers answered. “She’s confident. No idea we’re on her.” In the study, Luca watched the live feed from a hidden camera that had been install

    Giovanni stood frozen in the doorway of the safe-house bedroom. The bed was empty. The IV line hung loose. Sofia’s clothes—the ones the private doctor had left folded for her—were gone. Only a single note remained on the pillow, written in a shaky but determined hand: "I’m done being weak. Tell my husband I said this. He will understand." He crumpled the paper, a mix of frustration and reluctant admiration tightening his chest. “Stubborn woman.” He grabbed his phone and dialed Luca immediately. At the Virelli estate, Luca answered on the first ring. “She’s already on the way?” “She’s gone,” Giovanni said tightly. “Left a note. Said she’s done being weak and that you’ll understand. No car. No weapons. Just determination. I’m tracking her with the access I have to the city's camera—she’s heading toward the city, but the signal’s weak.” Luca’s free hand clenched the balcony railing. The words hit him harder than he expected. I’m done being weak. Sofia’s voice echoed in his memo

  • The Don’s Secret Obsession    Unmasked

    The hallway lights stabilized, casting long, harsh shadows across the estate’s polished floors. Serena stood frozen outside Luca’s private office, lockpicking tools still in her gloved hand. Victor emerged from the darkness like a ghost, flanked by two more armed men. His expression was carved from stone—no triumph, only cold efficiency. “Drop the tools,” Victor ordered, gun already drawn. “Slowly.” Serena calculated her options in a heartbeat. Fight? She was outnumbered and outgunned. Run? The corridor offered no immediate escape, and she knew the estate’s layout better than most. But the hidden room was too far. She let the tools clatter to the floor and raised her hands, forcing a bewildered, tearful expression onto her face—the one Sofia would wear. “Victor? What is this? I was looking for mamma’s locket. I thought it might comfort the baby—” “Save it,” Victor cut her off. He stepped forward and secured her wrists with zip ties, tighter than necessary. “Don Luca wants a wo

  • The Don’s Secret Obsession    Fractures

    Dawn crept over the Virelli estate like a reluctant witness, painting the marble halls in pale gold. Luca had barely slept. He stood at the window of his study, nursing a black coffee, watching the grounds where armed men patrolled in pairs. The doctor was now in a secure holding room in the basement, guarded by Victor’s most loyal. The truth about Serena burned in Luca’s chest like acid. He had married Sofia believing she was his redemption—a woman who softened the edges of his brutal world. Now that illusion lay shattered. The woman sleeping down the hall in their shared suite was a stranger wearing his wife’s face. And she held his son. A soft knock interrupted his thoughts. Dante entered, looking as exhausted as Luca felt. “She’s awake,” Dante said quietly. “Asking for the baby. Playing the part perfectly. Even smiled at the new nanny.” Luca set his cup down. “Let her have supervised time with him. One wrong move and we end this. But I want eyes on her every second. Instal
