Vittoria settled on his lap, curling into his soaked chest as if she had finally found shelter in the only safe place she had left in the world.

A broken sob slipped out, and she clung to him with the desperate strength of someone who had just stumbled back from the edge of the abyss.

Vincenzo pulled her close, resting his chin on the top of her head and allowing himself, for one fleeting moment, to feel the weight of relief flooding his chest.

“I was so scared.” Vittoria whispered, her voice f

  • The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage   213 – Now you will beg

    Tommaso’s gaze inevitably drifted over her body, lingering on the curves the black silk outlined so perfectly and on the way the fabric itself seemed to invite him closer.“Do you want to have dinner with me?” Tommaso asked, his voice lower than he had intended, seeking her eyes only so he would not lose himself in the intentions his body was already revealing.“Well, I’ve already had dinner.” Seraphina replied as her fingers slid through her long hair, and she looked at him, puzzled by Tommaso’s unusual behavior.“In that case, I wouldn’t mind having dessert.” He replied, his voice rough and slow, keeping his eyes fixed on her while a slow smile formed on his lips. “Especially if it’s something sweet and impossible to resist.” He added, letting the words drift between them with the same provocation that glimmered in his gaze.Then, without waiting for an answer, Tommaso stepped forward until his body brushed against hers, and the warmth of his skin passed easily through the thin fabr

  • The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage   212 – Another line

    Tommaso watched him in silence for a few seconds, his gaze steady and his expression tense, as if he wanted to respond but simply did not know where to begin.“Wow,” Tommaso murmured, his voice low and restrained, as though he were still trying to process what he had just heard. “Should I brace myself for another breakdown?” he asked, keeping his tone even, though a faint glimmer in his eyes betrayed him.“I think I already had every possible breakdown while Vittoria was asleep,” Vincenzo replied, and a tired smile slipped through his words, enough to draw a brief laugh from Tommaso. “The past few weeks have been a storm of emotions, Tom,” he confessed, releasing a heavy breath, still feeling the emptiness Lily’s departure had left behind. “But when we heard our babies’ heartbeats, it was like finding our way back to happiness.”“Congratulations, Vincenzo,” Tommaso said, his voice firm, though a rare note of warmth slipped through.“Thank you,” Vincenzo answered, straightening the pap

  • The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage   211 – The perfect image

    Vincenzo slid a cup of coffee across the counter, the gesture calm, almost conciliatory—but Tommaso reacted instantly.He struck the edge of the cup with a violent slap, sending coffee spilling across the floor as the porcelain clattered through the kitchen, the sound a sharp reflection of the fury that had finally found release.“Didn’t you finish reading the file?” Vincenzo asked, his voice steady, almost cold, despite his cousin’s outburst.He watched Tommaso with the unsettling composure of someone who had anticipated that reaction, as if his cousin’s rage were merely another inevitable stage before the truth settled in.“You loved a manipulative man, Tommaso,” he said firmly, without mercy. “The same man who ordered your father killed and still had the nerve to raise you as if nothing had happened.” He held his cousin’s gaze without hesitation, letting each word land like a sentence that could never be overturned.Tommaso braced himself against the counter, his hands trembling as

  • The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage   210 – An untouchable martyr

    Without leaving room for questions, Vincenzo opened the door and stepped out of the vehicle, his expression impenetrable.Tommaso watched his cousin walk toward the building lobby, his firm stride contrasting with the invisible weight he seemed to carry.Deep down, Tommaso was certain there had to be some explanation for all of it. No matter how flawed Rocco had been, he had always spoken of Vincenzo with pride, the kind of pride visible in a father’s eyes.Tommaso got out of the car and followed him. Vincenzo held the private elevator door open, waiting in silence.When the doors closed, the mechanical hum of the lift was the only thing filling the space between them.Neither attempted to speak, and the silence that settled as they ascended to the penthouse was heavy enough to carry everything left unsaid.“Vincenzo, Uncle Rocco loved you,” Tommaso said as soon as they crossed the threshold of the apartment, his voice firm but sincere. “Maybe he didn’t know how to show it. Maybe he h

  • The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage   209 – Love and punishment

    Seraphina looked at him and slowly shook her head, disbelief clear in her expression as her eyes weighed every word, as if calculating the true cost of that order.“As you wish, Mr. Lucchese,” she agreed, her tone professional but resigned, fully aware that arguing would be pointless. “At least Mrs. Renault was foolish enough to make my job easier.”Like Vincenzo, she understood that Élodie’s eagerness to assert power had driven her into reckless action, mistaking authority for ego and leaving behind a trail of errors that revealed more vanity than strategy.Enough breaches for anyone with the right amount of cold calculation to turn her ambition into the very weapon that would ruin her.“Vincenzo, the council called an emergency meeting as soon as they heard about your arrest,” Tommaso informed him, eyes fixed on the road, his voice controlled but heavy with gravity, as if he knew the real problem was only beginning now.Vincenzo let out a short laugh, the kind born more from exhaust

  • The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage   208 – A bureaucratic battle

    Vincenzo turned the following pages, his eyes scanning each line with growing unrest, as if searching for coherence within the absurd.Nothing made sense, and as though the existing problems were not enough, new secrets surfaced, adding weight to the fragile balance he was still struggling to maintain.“Cazzo,” Vincenzo muttered, releasing a heavy breath thick with disbelief.For a moment, he ran his hands over his face, as if he could erase what he had just read, wondering what else could possibly happen to drag the chaos into something even worse.His phone vibrated in his pocket, clear proof of how amateur Élodie’s spectacle had been—a fragile performance that, instead of protecting him, promised only a fresh chain of complications.He allowed himself a faint smile as he pulled the phone out and saw Vittoria’s name glowing on the screen. The gesture came almost involuntarily, as if the mere fact that she existed softened, even briefly, the weight of everything around him.“Bella, i

  • The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage   69 – The uncontrollable desire

    Upon returning to the hotel, Vincenzo swiped the keycard, pushed the door open, and stepped into the suite silently, catching the scent of soap mingled with the steam drifting from the slightly ajar bathroom door.Vittoria emerged from the bathroom, a towel wrapped around her body and another aroun

    Vittoria sat up abruptly, her heart racing.

    Tommaso raised an eyebrow, surprise etched across his face, as he shifted uncomfortably in his chair.“Fabrizio has always been loyal to Don Rocco,” Tommaso said, his voice measured.“I’m not my father,” Vincenzo shot back, cold and sharp. “Fabrizio’s dislike for me is obvious now.”“That’s not the
