ログインThursday, 3rd of June.The room pulsed with heat and pain.The television light flickered against the walls, too bright for a place that smelled of blood, antiseptic, and fear. Shadows trembled with every movement, stretching and shrinking as if the room itself was breathing.“Push!”The nurse’s voice cut through everything—firm, urgent, unyielding.Lidia’s body curled forward, fingers clawing into the thin sheets beneath her. Sweat clung to her skin, her breath coming in sharp, broken gasps as another wave tore through her.It felt endless.Like her body no longer belonged to her.“Push harder, my dear—don’t stop now!”But then—A voice.Low.Familiar.It slipped through the chaos, cutting past the pain, past the noise, past everything.Lidia’s head turned sharply toward the television.“Focus!” the nurse snapped, trying to pull her back.But Lidia didn’t listen.Couldn’t.Her eyes locked onto the screen.And there he was.Gennado.Seated in a chair that mirrored power itself—dark, h
Her voice lowered, steady and controlled.“Whatever this is—whatever he’s hiding—it does not change one thing.”Scarlet looked at her, searching.“We are not powerless.”The words landed with quiet force.Blanca’s grip tightened slightly—not enough to hurt, but enough to ground.“I built everything we have with my own hands,” she continued. “Do you think I would let it crumble because Lorenzo made one unexpected move?”Scarlet didn’t answer.But the tension in her shoulders eased… just slightly.Blanca leaned in a fraction.“I will find out what he’s hiding,” she said.Her voice dropped further.“And when I do…”A faint smile touched her lips.“I will decide how this ends.”Scarlet exhaled slowly.The fear didn’t disappear.But it shifted.Turned into something else.Something sharper.“What do you want me to do?” she asked quietly.Blanca straightened, her hand falling back to her side.“For now?”She turned slightly, her gaze drifting back toward the window.“We watch.”Scarlet nodd
“If I didn’t know better,” she added softly, “I would think someone convinced you.” A subtle push. A test. Silence followed. Longer this time. Then— “No one convinces me.” Lorenzo’s voice came low. Dangerous. The warning was clear. Blanca leaned back again. Relaxed. Unbothered. On the surface. “Of course not,” she said. Smooth. Effortless. “But you must forgive my curiosity.” Her fingers brushed her necklace lightly. “You don’t make decisions like this without a reason.” A pause. Then, softer— “And I don’t like being the only one who doesn’t know it.” There it was. The truth. Bare. But still wrapped in elegance. Lorenzo didn’t answer immediately. And when he did— His voice was colder than before. “Then get used to it.” The line went silent. Blanca’s hand froze. Slowly— Very slowly— She lowered the phone from her ear. The call had ended. Just like that. No closure. No explanation. No control. For a moment—
The hall was filled within the hour.Men of power.Leaders.Figures who controlled territories, trades, bloodlines.Whispers moved through the room like smoke.Lorenzo stood at the center.Silent.Watching.Waiting until every seat was filled.Then—He stepped forward.The room fell quiet instantly.No one spoke.No one moved.They all knew that look.Something had shifted.Lorenzo’s gaze swept across them slowly.Measured.Heavy.“The war…”He began.His voice carried easily across the hall.“…ends.”The word landed.Sharp.Unexpected.Murmurs started immediately.Confusion.Shock.He didn’t raise his voice.Didn’t need to.His presence crushed the noise before it could grow.“I am no longer interested in it.”His tone was final.Unquestionable.A man near the back shifted slightly.“Sir… what about—”Lorenzo’s head snapped toward him.The look alone silenced him.Cold.Deadly.“Anyone,” Lorenzo continued, his voice dropping lower, more dangerous, “who refuses…”A pause.His gaze har
Guilt.It didn’t sit well.Flaviana’s quiet sobs pulled him back.He moved then.Slowly.Carefully.Until he stood in front of her.His hand lifted—hesitated for the briefest second—then rested gently on her shoulder.“I know how you feel.”His voice was quieter now.Rougher.“You love her.”Flaviana nodded through tears.Like a child.Like a mother who had lost something she couldn’t replace.Bruno’s jaw tightened.“And I will make you a promise.”His hand dropped.His posture straightened.Something colder returned to his voice.Something firmer.“Lidia will be found.”A pause.His fists clenched at his sides.“And she will be brought back.”Alive.The word wasn’t spoken.But it lived in his tone.Flaviana wiped at her face quickly, nodding.“Thank you… sir.”Her voice trembled.But there was something else there now.Hope.Fragile.She turned and walked away slowly, her steps uneven but determined.Bruno remained where he stood.Still.Silent.Then—The moment she disappeared—Ever
His phone came out again.Another number.The line rang once.Twice.Then—“Bruno.”Gennado’s voice.Steady.Familiar.Bruno leaned back slightly.“I need you at the mansion.”A pause.“It’s important.”Gennado didn’t ask questions.“I’m on my way.”The line went dead.At the airport—Vivian stepped out of the car.The same doors.The same lights.But everything felt different now.One of Bruno’s men approached the counter with her.Within minutes—Her original flight was gone.Replaced.Upgraded.Cleared.The staff moved quickly.Too quickly.No questions asked.No delays.She was handed a new ticket.“Boarding immediately, ma’am.”Vivian nodded slowly.Her fingers tightened around the paper.She didn’t look back.Didn’t hesitate.She walked toward the gate.And this time—No one stopped her.Back at the mansion—The gates opened without a sound.Gennado’s car rolled into the courtyard, its headlights cutting across the stone like a blade. By the time the engine died, Bruno was alrea
