He said my name like it belonged in his mouth. “Antonella…” I turned fully this time. I did not pull my hand away when he took it. That surprised me more than anything else. His grip was careful, not loose, not firm enough to feel like control. Just there, waiting to see what I would do with it. For a moment, neither of us spoke. The room held too much of someone else’s life for easy conversation.

The Don's Wife, The Brother's Whore Chapter 75
Lilith POV I took longer than necessary getting ready. Not because I didn’t know what to wear. The dress had been laid out already, chosen earlier with less hesitation than I was pretending to have now. It was simple, soft against my skin, nothing that demanded attention. The kind of thing that blended into this house, into this version of my life that still felt like something I was stepping into, not something that belonged to me. I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the sleeve, then letting it fall back into place. My reflection didn’t look different. But I felt… aware. Just aware of the fact that I had said yes. There was a knock. “Come in.” The maid opened the door slightly. “Signorina, he’s here.” Of course he was. I nodded once and walked out before I could think about it any further. Matteo was waiting near the entrance, hands loosely in his pockets, leaning just enough against the wall to look comfortable without being careless. He straightened when h

Lilith POV Two weeks in Florence had taught me where the floorboards sounded different in the hallway outside my room, which maid preferred roses over lilies in the breakfast room, and how long Leo took to answer a question when he was deciding whether I needed comfort or honesty. I knew the staff now, or at least enough to recognize the rhythm of them. I knew which doors opened onto family rooms and which ones opened onto offices where men lowered their voices when I passed. I knew which gardens got sun in the morning and which ones stayed cool until late afternoon. I knew that if I asked for coffee, someone would bring it stronger than I was used to, and if I asked for tea, three women would immediately disagree over the correct kind. I knew, too, that everyone in this house feared Leo a little. Not visibly. They just straightened when he entered a room and listened when he spoke. Men who carried guns for him lowered their eyes by a fraction. Staff moved faster without makin

Lucian POV By the time the third call came in, I stopped asking for details. Not because I didn’t care, but because I already understood the pattern. “Capo, the south warehouse—” “I know,” I cut in, stepping out of the car before Enzo could even come around to open my door. The line went quiet for half a second. “…two men down,” the voice continued. “Shipment intercepted before we could reroute.” “Send me the footage,” I said. “And get the rest of the inventory out of any exposed location. I don’t want to hear about another loss today.” “Yes, Capo.” I ended the call and walked straight into the building, my mind already moving ahead of the situation. Phones rang somewhere in the background. Men spoke too quickly, passing information that overlapped, contradicted, then corrected itself.

Lilith POV He said my name like it belonged in his mouth. “Antonella…” I turned fully this time. I did not pull my hand away when he took it. That surprised me more than anything else. His grip was careful, not loose, not firm enough to feel like control. Just there, waiting to see what I would do with it. For a moment, neither of us spoke. The room held too much of someone else’s life for easy conversation. The bed behind him, the soft light falling across the old wood, the faint scent of something floral that had nothing to do with me and everything to do with the woman who used to sleep here. Leo did not look away. “I’m sorry I came late.” He said it without hesitation. No buildup. No excuse wrapped around it. I watched him. There were a dozen ways I could have answered that. None of them felt simple enough to say out loud
The Don's Wife, The Brother's Whore Chapter 71
Lilith POV I did not go back to sleep after the balcony. I went back inside because there was nowhere else to go, because standing out there any longer would have made it obvious that Matteo had unsettled me more than I wanted to admit. He had introduced himself as Matteo. He had joked about Leo, I could tell they were friends. He was older than me by a few years, maybe early thirties, with sharp features and dark hair combed back from his forehead. Nothing about him was loud. He did not need loud. Men who grew up inside power rarely did. His accent had been thick enough to remind me this was not New York. Matteo had looked at me as though he already knew where I had come from, what I had lost, and how little of it I trusted. That was what stayed with me. I crossed the hallway quietly, arms folded around myself, still wearing the night on my skin, and nearly walked into Leo. He

Damien POV The door closed behind Lucian, but the damage he left behind stayed in the room. For a few seconds, we were rooted to the same position. The house was quiet again, though not in the way it had been before he walked in. Rafe still had his gun raised. Maleek did too, both of them angled toward the doorway as if Lucian might decide halfway down the path that restraint no longer suited him and come back shooting. I stood where I was, tasting blood in the back of my mouth that was not mine, my hand still warm from the strike. My knuckles stung. Lucian’s blood had dried in a dark smear across my skin. Maleek lowered his weapon first. Rafe followed a second later, slower about it, his eyes still on me rather than the door. “You shouldn’t have done that,” he said. I did not answer him. I walked to the sideboard, picked up a clean cloth, and wiped my knuckles carefully, workin
The Don's Wife, The Brother's Whore Chapter 7
Lilith’s POVThe first thing I felt was warmth.Not the kind that comes from a blanket or a heater, but from a body. A real body. Somewhere behind me, a slow, steady breath touched the back of my neck. An arm lay across my waist, heavy but gentle, holding me like someone afraid I would disappear if

Lilith’s POVAfter the guard’s footsteps faded down the hallway, I stood there for several seconds, unable to move.My heart kept pounding in a frantic rhythm that didn’t match the stillness of the corridor. My hands trembled as I smoothed the front of my dress, trying to steady myself, but nothing

Lilith’s POVSophie’s hand didn’t just grab mine, she practically yanked me forward.Her face was pale, her breathing uneven, but it wasn’t anger in her eyes, not suspicion, It was fear.A real fear.“Lilith, we need to go inside,” she whispered harshly, glancing over her shoulder as if someone mig
