Bianca watched her for a few seconds, her mischievous smile fading into a softer, more concerned expression.

“Are you okay?” she asked, matching Vittoria’s pace and studying her closely, as if trying to read every silent gesture.

“No,” Vittoria admitted, her gaze fixed ahead as she stepped out of the pharmacy, unable to meet her friend’s eyes. “Now that the test is in my hands, the fear’s gripping me tighter. Dio mio, what have I done?”

The cool street air offered no relief, feeling instead heavy and oppressive, harder to bear with each passing moment.

Vittoria kept her eyes locked forward, her body rigid, and with every step, her legs felt less steady, as if the ground might give way beneath her.

Her heart raced in an erratic rhythm, too fast for a simple walk, and the fear that had been a suffocating thought moments ago surged like an invisible wave, squeezing her chest with merciless force.

She tried to draw a breath, but it came shallow and jagged, as if her lungs had no room left

    Vincenzo kept Vittoria pinned against the counter, his lips teasingly grazing between her breasts, still covered by the dress, his warm breath spreading across her damp skin.His hand rested firmly on her thigh, sliding along the slit of her dress in a slow, deliberate motion, each advance sending shivers through her that made her catch her breath.Her exposed skin responded to his touch as if drawn to him, and the protest forming on her lips dissolved the moment desire overpowered reason.His fingers moved until they found the delicate fabric of her underwear, the subtle pressure enough to draw an involuntary jolt from Vittoria, followed by a low, ragged moan—sweet and unbidden—that betrayed how much her body was already yielding to him.“Vincenzo,” Vittoria warned, placing her hand over his in a feeble attempt to stop him, though the tremble in her fingers revealed how much she’d already surrendered.“Keep pretending to resist, amore mio,” Vincenzo murmured, his voice husky against

    Before Vittoria could react, the officiant announced the newlyweds’ entrance, and everyone rose instantly, clapping as the couple crossed the hall under the watchful eyes of the guests.Antonella glided forward, arms linked with Fabrizio’s, her triumphant smile glued to her face, determined not to let the interloper steal her spotlight and already certain that, eventually, she’d find a way to teach her a lesson.“I’ll rip that woman out of our way, Fabrizio,” Antonella whispered, her gaze fixed on Seraphina, now aware of her identity. “And when I’m done with her, I’ll make that bastard Vincenzo realize that daring to challenge me was the biggest mistake of his life.”“As you wish, Antonella,” Fabrizio replied softly, his expression unchanged but his eyes mirroring the coldness of her words. “Just tell me when, and I’ll ensure nothing stands in your way.”“I always knew together we’d be unstoppable,” Antonella declared, her smile twisting with pure malice. “And when the time comes, the

  • The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage   108 – A sacred bond

    Fabrizio let slip a scornful smile, as if the scene only confirmed what he’d always known: Antonella would never tolerate sharing the spotlight, let alone allow another woman to steal the radiance she believed was hers alone.At the altar, Antonella couldn’t resist and cast a glance over her shoulder, seeking the woman who dared to upstage her.Seraphina, aware of the scrutiny, lifted her chin and flashed a near-provocative smile, holding Antonella’s gaze as if determined to stoke her fury further.The murmurs among the guests hushed as the priest stepped forward, opening the ceremonial book in his hands.“We are gathered here, before God and these witnesses, to celebrate the union of Antonella Mancini and Fabrizio Lucchese. Marriage is a sacred bond, built on trust, respect, and commitment,”Antonella kept her smile, but her eyes blazed with anger as she stole glances at the brazen figure among the guests.Beside her, Fabrizio stood solemn and rigid, his posture unyielding as if he w

  • The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage   107 – A formality

    Vincenzo gazed at the woman before him, and for a moment, the entire world seemed to shrink to just the sight of her.The red dress hugged her curves with flawless elegance, its daring slit up her left thigh adding an irresistible sensuality.Her wavy ponytail framed her face, accentuating the delicate beauty of her features, and her subtle makeup made her eyes gleam as if they held secrets capable of mesmerizing him.To Vincenzo, Vittoria wasn’t merely beautiful—she was the perfect fusion of desire and divinity, the most sublime vision a man could behold.“You have no idea what you do to me. Every time I look at you, the whole world dims because nothing can compete with you.”Vittoria smiled instinctively, as she always did at his compliments, her heart warmed by the sweetness of his words.“Thank you,” she replied curtly, her gaze shifting away as the memory of her frustration resurfaced. “I’ll be in the living room, waiting for you.”“Vittoria, wait,” he said sharply, his voice dee

  • The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage   106 – A thick silence

    With the box open on the sink, Vittoria drew a deep breath, trying to push aside the tightness in her chest, but memories crashed over her, dragging her back to the first time she’d held a test in her hands—the terror that had seized her when the positive appeared.“This time will be different,” Vittoria murmured, her words echoing softly in the bathroom’s hush.She clutched the test firmly, fighting the shake in her fingers, treating each step like a sacred rite.The bathroom’s quiet blended with her ragged breaths, betraying the nerves thrumming through her.Following the instructions, she proceeded with care, her heart hammering like a countdown to an unavoidable truth.When it was done, Vittoria set the test on the sink with exquisite caution, as if it were something delicate that might shatter at the slightest jolt.Seconds stretched into minutes, each heartbeat resounding in her ears like fate drawing near.The wait time had elapsed, but she remained frozen, ensnared in a thick
