The Don’s Veiled Rose Chapter 9
I let out a soft laugh."What are you laughing at?"Daemon's deep, dark eyes were filled with confusion."Daemon." My lips tightened, and my eyes felt as if they were coated in frost."Your idea of 'protection' just painted a bigger target on my back, making me a shield to draw enemy fire.""And now you regret it? You don't just want my forgiveness, you think you can buy back my heart with empty promises?""Mr. Thorne, even now, you're still trying to insult me."My voice was barely a whisper, but my gaze was bone-chillingly cold.Daemon's lips trembled, his eyes red, as he tried to explain."No... Scarlett, you were tricked by Gianna.""I never wanted to kill our child. I didn't even know you were pregnant...""For you, I can..."I raised a hand, cutting him off.Everything was over. Dredging up the past now would only be sickening.Gianna had certainly hurt me, but her actions paled in comparison to the direct pain Daemon had inflicted.I looked out at the vast, pale expanse of snow.

It was a long time before I saw Daemon again.At an F1 charity gala in Monaco, he was so gaunt he was a shadow of his former self, all the swagger of the Thorne Don gone.His eyes were sunken, as if he hadn't had a decent night's sleep in ages.When his gaze cut through the crowd and locked onto me, the light that flared in his long-dead eyes was startling.He pushed away the prince he was talking to and stumbled toward me, even knocking over a waiter's tray in his haste."Scarlett..."His voice trembled as he reached out, wanting to touch me.I sidestepped him, raised my champagne flute, and curved my lips into a polite, impenetrable smile."Don Thorne. It's been a while.""I trust you received the annulment from the Vatican?"His outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and the light in his eyes instantly dimmed.I turned to leave, but he grabbed my wrist."Scarlett, can we talk? Please."I coolly shook him off. "I have nothing to say to you, sir."Under the lights, I caught a glimpse of

With Scarlett "dead," Gianna finally dropped her mask of fragile innocence.She didn't know the truth of what had happened in the morgue that night; she simply believed that the wildcat who had always overshadowed her was truly gone.In the Thorne estate, there was no one left to make her feel insecure.She started showing up at Daemon's headquarters every other day, carrying herself like the future Donna and hinting that she was about to become the new Don's wife.In her social circle, she put on airs, acting like the one and only Principessa.When a clueless new socialite accidentally stepped on the hem of her gown at a charity gala, Gianna threw a glass of red wine in her face before she could even apologize."Watch where you're going, you idiot. Do you have any idea whose dress this is?"Afterward, Gianna whispered in the right ears and used the family's influence to bankrupt the socialite's father overnight, having the entire family exiled from New York.Her brazen behavior soon r

A month of recovery on a private Caribbean island was enough for my physical wounds to heal.On the day I was discharged, my father greeted me with a huge bouquet of my favorite red roses. A brand-new Bugatti Veyron was parked behind him."Principessa, I know those old Thorne fossils forbade you from racing, but I give you my permission.""Go on. Go get back the speed and passion you lost. My daughter was born for the racetrack, not for some godforsaken cage."Sitting in the familiar driver's seat, I finally felt like the real Scarlett was back.At the same time, news about Daemon arrived from my father's informant at the hospital.A suffocating silence filled the morgue of the Thorne-controlled private hospital.Daemon stood like a stone statue, stubbornly guarding the corpse, refusing to let anyone near.He would wash his "Scarlett's" body himself, dress her in her favorite red racing suit, and take her home.It was the freedom she had always wanted, and the only amends he could make

In that moment, the strength vanished from Daemon's body. He staggered, nearly collapsing."Impossible!" His eyes were blood-red as he lunged forward, grabbing the doctor by the collar. The barrel of his Beretta pressed hard against the man's jaw."Scarlett is the wildest daredevil on the track. Death itself can't catch her. There's no way she could have just... died.""You're lying to me. Did she put you up to this? Is this because I forced her to give blood?"The doctor raised his hands, his eyes full of pity, but he didn't dare speak.Daemon shoved him away and stumbled into the ICU.The sight of the lifeless figure on the hospital bed sent a wave of panic crashing over him.He didn't believe it.He refused to believe that the woman who burned like a wildfire, the woman who had dared to drive into oncoming traffic just to provoke him, could now be just a cold corpse."Scarlett, stop playing games.""I was wrong. I shouldn't have made you give blood. Wake up. I'll give you anything y

"You pushed Gianna. Scarlett, this is a blood debt. You will repay it.""Don't be afraid, it's just a little blood. As long as you cooperate, I promise nothing will happen to you."It seemed that even my life was a chip he was willing to sacrifice for that woman at any moment.I couldn't take this humiliation anymore. I screamed, "I won't do it! Why should my blood be used to save her!"But Daemon wasn't listening. He dragged me and forced me onto a gurney."Let go of me!"I shrieked, struggling with all my might. My nails dug deep into the back of his hand, leaving several bloody scratches.But he didn't even flinch, personally strapping my wrists and ankles to the rails with thick leather restraints.A nurse approached with a thick needle, its tip glinting with a cold light that stole my breath.Fear consumed me. My body began to shake uncontrollably."Daemon! You can't do this to me! Please!""I'm... I'm pregnant with your child! Are you trying to kill him?!"Daemon paused.For a sp
