The Don's sinful obsession chapter 21
~~~Anne's POV~~~I tell myself I can do this.Keep my head down. Do my work and not look at him directly. Answer when spoken to. Disappear when not needed. It is survival. I have survived worse.I can survive Luca Romani sitting at the head of a table while I pour wine and serve food and pretend he is just another man in a house full of men.Just another man.I almost laugh at myself.There is nothing just about Luca. There never has been.---The dining room is full that evening.Men in suits. Women in diamonds. The kind of people who speak in low voices and laugh without meaning it and look at servants like they are furniture. I keep my eyes on the trays, on the glasses, on the floor. Anywhere but at him.Every time I turn a corner, I expect to find him there. Every time I hear footsteps behind me, my spine goes rigid.But he has stayed away.Not completely. I see him at meals. Feel his eyes on me across rooms. Hear his voice in the hallway and feel my chest tighten.I tell myself i
The Don's sinful obsession chapter 20
The estate has belonged to Luca's grandfather.Nico remembers coming here as a boy, running through these halls, hiding in these gardens, watching his older cousin learn to be a man before he is ready. The stone walls haven't changed. The iron gates haven't changed. The weight of the place — old money, older power — hasn't changed either.But Luca is different now.Nico parks his car — a red Ferrari that costs more than most people's houses — and steps out into the afternoon sun. He has been away too long. Six months. Maybe eight. Time blurs when you are traveling. Rome, Paris, Barcelona. Women who forget your name as quickly as you forget theirs. Nights that bleed into mornings. Mornings that bleed into flights.But now he is home.Not because he wants to be. Because Luca has called."Your father is asking about you."That is Luca's way of saying come home before I send someone to drag you back.So here he is.---The guards at the gate recognize him. They always do."Mr. Nico.""Enz
The Don's sinful obsession chapter 19
~~~Lucinda's POV~~~The report arrives in the evening, as they always do.I sit in my sitting room, a glass of wine in my hand, the fire crackling in the hearth. Outside, the sun is setting over the Romani estate, painting the sky in shades of orange and red. Inside, I am already thinking ten moves ahead.I unfold the paper. Read it once. Twice.Luca's investigation has shifted. He is no longer focused solely on Anne's disappearance. He is digging into her past. Her connections. Her movements before she came to Italy.I set down the paper. Pick up my wine. Take a slow sip.He is beginning to question.That is dangerous.I have spent years building the narrative — the maid who seduced the Don, the thief who betrayed the family, the woman who killed herself in a fire rather than face the consequences. It is a beautiful story. Clean. Believable.But stories only work if no one looks too closely.Luca is looking.No matter, I tell myself. I have dealt with worse.I stand. Walk to the wind
The Don's sinful obsession chapter 18
~~~Anne's POV~~~The door clicks shut behind him, and nothing about me feels safer.If anything, it feels worse. Because now I know. He isn't guessing anymore. He is searching. Actively. Methodically. With resources I can't imagine and reach I can't escape.Austin.The name echoes in my head like a warning bell.I lie in his bed, in his room, in his house, and stare at the ceiling. The sheets smell like him. The pillows smell like him. Everything around me is him, and I can't breathe.He is going to find out. He is going to find you, Austin. And then—I can't finish the thought. Don't want to.I press my hands against my eyes. Try to stop the tears. Fail.Mommy's sorry, baby. Mommy's so sorry.---Carmela comes later.She moves quietly, the way she always does, her footsteps soft on the marble floor. She carries a tray — soup, bread, tea — and sets it on the nightstand without a word.I watch her.She doesn't look at me. That isn't unusual. Carmela has never been warm. But today, ther

~~~Luca's POV~~~The file is thin.Matteo lays it on my desk with the kind of care men use when they are handing you something they know will make you angry. Two pages. Maybe three. Not nearly enough for the days he has been searching."That's all?" I ask."That's all I could find, Boss."I open the file. Scan the pages. Bank records. Rental agreements. A work permit under the name Lia Perry. Nothing before six years ago. Nothing linking her to anyone. Nothing linking her to anywhere.No family. No friends. No past."Her life started the day she came back to Italy," I say. "Before that, nothing.""Someone erased her," Matteo agrees. "Or she erased herself."I look up. "Which one?"Matteo hesitates. That is unlike him. He has worked for me for fifteen years. He has learned to speak hard truths without flinching."Both, maybe. She had help. Someone with resources. Someone who knew how to make a person disappear."I think about the fire. The burnt house. The body that wasn't hers.She ha
The Don's sinful obsession chapter 16
~~~Monic's POV~~~The iron gates of the Romani estate are closed.They are never closed. Not to me. I have walked through them a hundred times, a thousand, without slowing, without announcing myself, without anyone questioning my right to be here.Today, a guard steps into my path."Signorina Monic." His voice is respectful, but his body blocks the entrance. "The Don is not receiving visitors."I laugh. "I'm not a visitor. I'm his fiancée.""The Don's orders.""Let me through.""I can't."I look at him. Really look. He is young — new, maybe. He doesn't know me. Doesn't know what I am capable of."Do you know who I am?" I ask."Yes, Signorina.""Then you know that in a few months, I will be the Don's wife. I will be the woman giving orders in this house. And men like you — men who stand in my way — will be the first to go."His face doesn't change. "The Don's orders."I feel my face grow hot. My hands curl into fists."I am not a visitor," I say again, slower this time, like I am expla
