The mansion went into lockdown within minutes.Daisy watched from the doorway of Enzo's study as guards flooded the hallways, their footsteps echoing like thunder. Every door was secured. Every window was locked. Every shadow was searched.But Daisy knew it wouldn't be enough.Valentina had been planning this for weeks. She'd had time to study the mansion's weaknesses, to find its blind spots, to plant her allies in places no one would suspect. She wasn't just attacking—she was executing a strategy.And Daisy was the primary target."Stay close to me," Enzo said, his voice low and urgent. He was standing beside her, his body coiled with tension, his eyes scanning every corner. "Don't go anywhere without me. Don't trust anyone.""Even Lucia?" Daisy asked.Enzo's jaw tightened. "Especially Lucia. She may have given birth to you, but she's been manipulating both of us since the day we were born. She's not on our side. She's on her own side."Daisy nodded, her heart pounding. She wanted t
Daisy woke to the sound of hushed voices and the smell of antiseptic.She blinked her eyes open, her vision swimming. The ceiling was white—not the ornate, gilded ceiling of her penthouse room, but something simpler. Clinical. A private clinic, she realized, as her eyes adjusted to the harsh fluorescent lights.What happened?She tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness crashed over her. She fell back against the pillows, her heart pounding."Easy," a voice said. Gentle. Familiar.She turned her head and saw Carmen sitting in a chair beside the bed. The hacker looked exhausted—dark circles under her eyes, her usually perfect pixie cut disheveled."How long was I out?" Daisy asked, her voice hoarse."Two days," Carmen said. "You collapsed. Stress. Exhaustion. The shock of what Matteo revealed."Daisy closed her eyes. It came flooding back—the photograph, the birth certificate, Matteo's triumphant smile, Enzo's shattered expression."I'm Valentina's twin," she whispered. "I'm Lucia's dau
Daisy couldn't breathe.The rose sat on her bed like a curse, its crimson petals almost black in the dim light. She'd flushed it down the toilet, but she could still smell it—that cloying, sweet scent that now felt like poison.Someone was in my room.The thought sent ice through her veins. She'd been so careful. She'd played the part. She'd been cold and cruel and everything Valentina was supposed to be. And still, someone had found her out.Or worse—someone was testing her."I know who you are, little flower. And I'm coming home."Daisy read the note for the hundredth time, her hands trembling. The handwriting was elegant but sharp, each letter jagged like a knife. Whoever wrote this wasn't just threatening her—they were toying with her.She had to tell Enzo.She found him in his study, hunched over his desk with a phone pressed to his ear. His sleeves were rolled up, revealing forearms corded with muscle and veined with tension. Even from the doorway, she could see the exhaustion e
The silence stretched between them like a chasm.Daisy sat on the edge of Enzo's bed, her hands trembling in her lap. She could feel his eyes on her, cold and assessing, the warmth from moments ago completely extinguished. He was a stranger again. A predator sizing up his prey."Answer me," he said, his voice flat. "Who are you really?"Daisy forced herself to meet his gaze. "You know who I am. I told you. I'm Daisy Thorne. I own a flower shop in Maine. I was kidnapped and brought here against my will.""And yet you kissed me," Enzo said, his tone cutting. "You held me. You told me this was real.""It was real," Daisy whispered, her voice cracking. "It still is. I don't know how to explain it, Enzo. I don't know why I feel this way. But I'm not lying about who I am. I'm not Valentina. I've never been Valentina."Enzo's jaw tightened. He pulled a photograph from his pocket and tossed it onto the bed beside her."Then explain this."Daisy looked down at the image, and her blood ran cold
The rose sat on the bed like a curse.Daisy stared at it, her hands trembling, her breath coming in ragged gasps. The petals were deep crimson, almost black in the dim light. The thorns had been carefully removed—a detail that made her stomach churn.Someone was in here. Someone was in my room while I was gone.The note was still clutched in her trembling fingers. I know who you are, little flower. And I'm coming home.Little flower. That's what Enzo called her. But he wouldn't have left this. He wouldn't have terrified her like this. He was cold, yes. Calculating. But not cruel. Not like this.So who had been in her room?Daisy's mind raced through the possibilities. Matteo, the jealous brother, testing her limits. The silver-haired elder, suspicious of her sudden reappearance. Or maybe someone else entirely—someone who knew the truth about her identity.Someone like the real Valentina.Daisy's knees buckled, and she sank onto the edge of the bed. She couldn't breathe. The walls were
The walk to the meeting room felt like a death march.Daisy's heels clicked against the marble floor, each step echoing in the cavernous hallway. The dress Valentina had left behind was a masterpiece of cruelty—blood-red silk that clung to every curve, slit so high it was practically obscene. Daisy felt exposed. Vulnerable. Like a lamb being led to slaughter.Enzo walked beside her, close enough that his arm brushed hers. He was a wall of cold, controlled power. His face was carved from stone, revealing nothing. But his hand found the small of her back, pressing lightly, guiding her forward."Remember," he murmured, his lips barely moving. "Cold. Cruel. Unfeeling."Daisy nodded, her throat too tight for words.They reached a set of massive double doors. Two guards flanked the entrance, their faces blank. They opened the doors without a word, and Daisy stepped into the lion's den.The room was enormous, dominated by a long mahogany table that could seat thirty. Crystal chandeliers hung
