The Heiress Returns Chapter 8
The moment he saw me, a desperate fire lit up his dead eyes.He dragged his broken leg toward me, stumbling, falling to his knees in the snow."Isabella! You came! You finally came!"He reached for my legs—I blocked him with the umbrella."Vincenzo, the Moretti name is gone. What the hell are you still doing here?"He looked up at me, tears and snow streaming down his face."I don't care about the Moretti name—I don't care about any of it! I just want you!""I was wrong—I know that now. I thought you would never leave me. I was afraid you were too strong-willed—I just wanted to keep you close. I wanted to protect you.""I never touched Liliana. I was going to get the ring back—I swear. I can't live without you. My stomach is killing me. I can't sleep. Just—give me one more chance. Please."He was sobbing, slapping his own face—hard, over and over—his lip split open and bleeding.I watched his performance with cold, level eyes."You were scared of losing me—so you tore me down. You gave

Vincenzo flew backward, slamming into the floor. Blood bloomed at the corner of his mouth.Luca looked down at him like he was a cockroach."Vincenzo Moretti. Who the hell do you think you are, speaking my sister's name?""Seven years. You made her your cook. Your secretary. Your bodyguard. You made her take a knife for you. You treated a Castello princess like a goddamn servant.""You took her ring. Gave away her dress. Threw her out into a blizzard for your little sidepiece. The Castellos will make you pay for every single thing you did."A wave of gasps rippled through the room. The whispers were deafening.Everyone in New York's underworld knew about Vincenzo's orphaned Donna. Everyone knew he'd dumped her for his childhood friend.But nobody—nobody—had realized the woman he'd thrown away was the lost heiress of the Castello family, the most powerful name in the game.Vincenzo couldn't hear the gossip. He pushed himself up, ignoring Luca, staring only at me."Isabella, this is a li
The Heiress Returns Chapter 6
One month later.The Castello mansion was blazing with light. The top family had thrown the gala of the season—a "Return of the Heiress" celebration—and every name in the New York underworld was in attendance.Vincenzo was there too. With Liliana hanging off his arm.In the past month, the Moretti family's arms supply lines had been systematically dismantled. Three offshore warehouses seized. The losses were catastrophic.He was a ghost of himself—hollowed-out eyes, gaunt face, dark stubble on his jaw. His stomach pain was so bad now that he was coughing up blood, but no doctor could dull the burn.He'd used every connection he had to find me. I'd vanished off the face of the earth.Every night, he'd go sit in that dusty storage room, staring at the empty duffel bag I'd left behind. He couldn't sleep. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw my back walking into the snow.At the gala, he scanned the crowd—not looking at the other mob bosses, but searching every waiter, every server, for a

Luca held my hand as we stepped off the plane.Standing on the tarmac—waiting in the freezing wind—were my father, Don Salvatore, the head of the Five Families, and my mother, Donna Rosalba.The moment my mother saw me, she broke down. She ran to me, wrapped me in her arms, and sobbed like her heart was tearing apart."Isabella—my Isabella—you've suffered, my baby, you've suffered so much."My father stood behind her, his eyes red-rimmed, his hand trembling as he reached out to stroke my hair.And that's when I finally broke. The tears I'd held back for seven years came flooding out.Seven years ago, I'd been the victim of a perfectly orchestrated kidnapping. I escaped, but the crash left me with amnesia—and I wandered into the slums, where Vincenzo found me.I'd thought he was my savior. My only anchor.But here, in the Castello mansion, I found people who had spent every waking hour of those seven years trying to find me.Back at the estate, my father brought in the world's top docto
The Heiress Returns Chapter 4
At the end of the long private road, six black armored Cadillacs with special-issue New York plates materialized through the blizzard.The door of the middle SUV flew open. A tall man in a dark gray overcoat strode toward me—and the moment he saw my thin clothes and blue-tinged skin, his eyes erupted with barely contained fury.He ripped off his coat and wrapped me in it, pulling me into his arms."Vincenzo Moretti let you stand out here like this?" His jaw was so tight I could see the muscles jumping. "Isabella. I'm so sorry I'm late."I leaned into my brother's chest—into the warm, solid presence of the only family that had ever truly mattered.I shook my head. "You're not late. You're right on time. Let's go home, Luca."Luca Castello—heir to the Castello empire—lifted me off my feet and carried me to the warm car.The convoy turned and sped toward the Castello mansion on the Upper East Side.Back at the Moretti estate, the atmosphere was suffocating.Vincenzo was slumped on the lea

The tray tipped in my hands. Hot broth splashed onto my skin—a red welt immediately blooming on my hand.I didn't feel a thing.I turned around, found a corner, and poured the entire thermos down the sink.Just then, Liliana appeared in that butchered gown. She saw me dumping the soup and smirked."Isabella, Vincenzo said the master bedroom has better lighting—it'll be better for my health. He wants me to move in tonight. So... you might want to clear your stuff out of there."The master suite. I'd lived there for five years. Every corner held a memory of him.I looked at her smug face and nodded."Sure. I'll go pack."I walked into the room. I didn't touch the jewelry. Didn't touch the designer bags. I grabbed a black duffel bag, stuffed it with a few changes of clothes, my passport, and my ID.My phone buzzed. A text from my father:"The process of erasing 'Isabella' from all public records is complete. The girl you were is gone."I zipped the bag, slung it over my shoulder, and walk
