The Lie that Binds Chapter 62: The Pawn
Stefano“I don't blame her,” He continued, his deep voice low with understanding. “She has seen a lot, done a lot, in these last few days. She probably needs some time alone. To process her emotions.” He gestured in the air.“Yeah…probably,” Marco concurred reluctantly. “Too bad you weren't able to help her…process her emotions.” He let out a small smile that lacked passion.Stefano's slightly furrowed brows hinted at how he didn't know how to feel with that statement.Instead, he picked up his forked and dug at the last piece of food. “Yeahh…too bad.” He murmured.“You worry too much.” Marco nonchalantly sipped his coffee. “She's a woman. A fierce one, but still a woman. And women, are emotional. So you're right. She is sad—probably, guilty—definitely.” He gazed at Stefano. “Alll she needs is some time off to get her back on track. So, don't worry, It's not like she's cheating on you.” He finished with a blank expression.A tense silence followed, punctuated only by Marco’s clinking
The Lie that Binds Chapter 61: Daggers of Guilt
Serena For what felt like an eternity later, Serena could breathe again. Carefully, she mounted down from the bathroom counter, instinctively trying not to close her legs together. She got into the shower and vigorously scrubbed her skin under steam. An attempt to get rid of his scent. An attempt that wouldn't stop her mind from reeling from the implications of the abomination she had just committed. An abomination she enjoyed every bit of, no less.Soon she was out in her bedroom, fully dressed and ready for the day, yet Stefano hadn't returned. This only made matters worse in her head. Does he know already?Did he hear?She hoped to hell he didn't. She stared a little longer at her reflection, mentally cursing herself. ‘I'm a mess. A fucked up, selfish, impulsive, naive, vile, deceitful, harlot! Fuck! What do I do from here!?’Of course, she begrudged herself what she had done. But only because it made her life tougher and more complicated than it already is. All she wanted was
The Lie that Binds Chapter 60: The Sweetest Mistake
MarcoIt was wrong.Of course he knew it was wrong.Watching her on the hidden camera feed, her soft movements, the way her fingers played with the edges of her robe, the subtle pout of her lips as she brushed her teeth, he knew it crossed every line. But Marco Sanchez had stopped caring about lines a long time ago.She stayed awake all through the night. He could see the vulnerability in her eyes. The anxiety and uncertainty. And he wanted to know why. She looked so unhappy and he couldn't stand it. He could make her happy, he thought. He could make her feel what Stefano couldn't. So he had to see her. Now, Stefano was out of her room. It was his chance.Because even so, she was slipping away.Every look, every touch she gave to Stefano was another dagger in his chest. He’d played patient, played brother, played protector. But he couldn’t do it anymore.So Today, he would remind her.He moved like a ghost through the corridor, unlocking the hidden door that led directly into her sui
The Lie that Binds Chapter 59: The War With The Mind
SerenaSerena’s body was with Stefano, but her mind was scattered in fragments, swirling in every direction like shards from a shattered mirror.Even when he looked at her with warmth and tenderness, telling her it was time to stop talking business and focus on each other, she couldn’t. She tried. God, she tried. But her heart was pounding with dread, her mind replaying the funeral video, Melissa’s grieving face, Fiona’s haunted eyes, the little boy clutching a framed photo of Roland Forbes.She couldn’t look at Stefano without wondering what else was real and what was orchestrated. The weight of it all made her breath shallow, her chest tight. Yet, she couldn’t let him suspect anything.So when he smiled softly and bent to lift her into his arms, she wrapped her arms around his neck like muscle memory. She closed her eyes and laid her head against his chest, not because she felt safe, but because she didn’t trust herself to meet his gaze. She didn’t want him to see the guilt cracking
The Lie that Binds Chapter 58: The Lies That Binds
Serena Still outside, beneath the lavender-tinged sky, the sun slipped toward the horizon in a golden cascade. A calm breeze stirred the trees, whispering through the leaves, brushing soft fingers over Serena’s cheeks. She stood there Stefano, but her mind was still caught in the whirlwind of his earlier revelation—the truth about the nuclear warhead, his father, the lies. Her heart hadn’t slowed since.And yet, just when she thought nothing else could shake her, his phone buzzed.Stefano looked at the screen, his features tightening. He answered it but didn’t move away. Instead, he took the call right there beside her, his hand resting lightly on the small of her back as if anchoring her to him.She tried not to listen—but how could she not?“Speak,” he said into the phone, his voice calm but lethal.A deep male voice on the other end gave a swift report: “The raid in Rome was a success. We secured all seven girls. Ages between ten and sixteen. The bastards were tipped off, but we g
The Lie that Binds Chapter 57: Beware The Jealous Man's Obsession
Few minutes earlierMarco Meanwhile, while the lovebirds enveloped themselves with passion and love, a man lurked in the corner, burning with intense jealousy that could scorch the entire countryside, as he watched them.She was leaning into Stefano, her soft giggles like a symphony of betrayal. Her eyes sparkled with joy that should’ve belonged to him. Her body melted into the arms of the man Marco was slowly hating with a depth that bordered on divine wrath. Stefano didn’t deserve her light. The bastard didn’t even understand what he had.Marco’s fists clenched at his sides, his knuckles pale and stiff. He watched them from afar, hidden in the forest line, his gaze burning holes into their silhouettes. His heart beat erratically, a chaos of yearning and loathing. His desire for Serena had long since morphed into something grotesque. Beautifully inevitable.He didn’t just want her.He wanted to own her.To remake her laughter in his name. To mold her joy with his presence. He wante
