The surgical lights bore down on Vincenzo’s pale face, sprawled across the table, his skin clammy, lips tinged purple, eyes half-open, staring blankly into the void.

“Venous access, now!” Giuseppe commanded, swiftly assessing the extent of the damage.

“Pressure’s nearly gone, no pulse in the arm!” the assistant warned, already struggling to find a vein. “He’s in shock, circulation’s collapsing!”

“Oxygen mask, one hundred percent, now!” Giuseppe ordered, securing the mask over Vincenzo’s face.

Scissors sliced through his skin, tearing apart blood-soaked clothes.

The sharp sound of fabric ripping mingled with the metallic clink of forceps, moving swiftly to isolate the visible shrapnel embedded in his body.

“Chest distended, trachea deviated!” the assistant reported, pressing hard on Vincenzo’s chest. “Air trapped in the lung, compressing everything—tension pneumothorax confirmed!”

“Large-gauge needle!” Giuseppe barked, already preparing the cannula. “Second intercostal space, midclavic

  • The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage   98 – Worlds apart

    Before Vincenzo could get a word in, another pillow sailed toward him, hitting him square on and pulling a spontaneous laugh from his lips, as if her fury was just another source of amusement to him.“You think this is funny, Vincenzo?” Vittoria snapped, snatching a third pillow as if it were a deadly weapon. “I’m being serious, and you’re standing there laughing in my face!”“I’m not laughing at you, bella,” Vincenzo tried to explain, straightening his posture as if he still had some control over the situation. “It’s just—” Another muffled chuckle slipped out. “Your pillow attack isn’t exactly intimidating.”“Oh, it’s not?” she fired back, her eyes blazing. Without a second thought, she launched the pillow she was holding, aiming straight for his face.But Vincenzo caught it midair, deflecting it with a quick flick, like he was swatting a ball in a game.He raised an eyebrow with that maddening calm, his stance flawless, as if he were completely unfazed by her wrath.“Out of ammo, or

  • The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage   97 – A symbolic gesture

    Vittoria rested her head on his chest, feeling the warmth of his skin and the still-racing pulse of his heart beneath her cheek.Her fingers traced slow, lazy patterns over his taut muscles, a tender caress that wrapped them in a quiet intimacy.Vincenzo’s heat enveloped her completely, and the low, uneven rhythm of his breaths blended with hers, weaving a sensory harmony where exhaustion felt sweet and the echo of pleasure still hummed through their entwined bodies.“Can we stay a few more days?” Vittoria whispered, her voice soft, almost pleading.Deep down, she dreaded returning to the reality that had suffocated her for so long; she longed to linger in the sanctuary of his arms, where everything felt simple, free, and safe.“We can’t,” Vincenzo replied, his fingers gliding gently along the curve of her back. “Tomorrow, we’ve got a wedding to attend.”She propped herself up on the bed, her elbow sinking into the soft mattress as she looked at him with surprise.“A wedding?” Vittori

  • The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage   96 – An irresistible command

    Vincenzo's surrender only fueled Vittoria's fire; her lips glided up and down his length in steady, unyielding strokes—firm and torturously slow—alternating deep, enveloping sucks with teasing flicks of her tongue that sent shivers racing across every inch of his skin.The wet sounds mingled with his ragged groans, filling the room with a raw, intoxicating rhythm that drowned out everything else.The slick heat of her mouth claimed him completely, so scorching and drenched that every second felt like an invitation to lose his mind.Vincenzo arched against her, breaths coming in jagged bursts as he tangled his fingers in her hair, tugging with restrained force while guiding her rhythm, too overwhelmed to handle the blaze alone.His whole body ignited: muscles coiled tight, chest heaving in erratic waves, head thrown back in utter surrender, each thrust of her lips pulling him deeper into a vortex of raw need.The clash between her softness and the fierce hunger in how she devoured him

    The office took on a rare lightness as soft laughter rippled through the air, breaking the usual stiffness and replacing the weight of recent days with a moment of genuine ease.“Does Vittoria know?” Edward asked, narrowing his eyes with curiosity as he watched Vincenzo close the laptop.“She knows there was someone before her,” Vincenzo replied, standing up smoothly. “But not that it got as far as an engagement.” He added, calmly removing his white coat. “Our relationship has always been complicated, less about the past and more about the intensity of the present.”“I see,” Edward said, tilting his head slightly as he studied him.“That’s about it,” Vincenzo murmured, letting out a heavy sigh. “It was nice to feel a bit of normalcy for a few days.” He looked at his friend with a tired half-smile.“You miss it, don’t you?” Edward asked, standing as well, his gaze fixed on Vincenzo as if he already knew the answer.“Every day,” Vincenzo admitted without hesitation, his voice raw with h

  • The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage   94 – A brave guardian

    In the office, Vincenzo watched Lily swing her little legs in the air as if she were on a ride, her innocence shining through a smile that brightened the room and softened the weight of the place.“Uncle Vince, this chair is the throne of my castle,” Lily declared, settling Bubu beside her like he was her royal advisor. “When I sit here, it feels like everything turns magical.”“That’s exactly how it should be, my princess,” Vincenzo replied, his voice gentle. “Only someone with true courage can turn a simple chair into the most magical throne in the whole castle.”“Sit up straight, Bubu, because you’re important here in the castle too,” Lily whispered, as if sharing a secret just between them. “You’re the guardian who keeps me safe.”Then, she gently held the bear by his paws and settled him in her lap, leaning in to press her little mouth to his fabric ear, as if he could really whisper a secret back.“What?” Lily pretended to hear something, bringing her hand to her mouth in mock s

Fabrizio took charge of the family’s interests with unwavering resolve, making every decision with precision and keeping a sharp eye out for any hint of trouble.At the same time, he kept Vincenzo in the loop on any shift that might affect their business, a calculated move to bolster his image of loyalty and prove he could be trusted.He doubled down on caution, limiting his contacts to only trusted associates and family, steering clear of any outsiders who might raise suspicions about his intentions, especially if he was indeed being watched.In Bath, life settled into a firm routine. For every checkup or chemo session, Vincenzo was there, always attentive and ready, using small tricks to make the process easier and less painful for Lily.When he wasn’t at the hospital, he poured himself into Vittoria, exploring the city with her and taking trips to nearby towns, as if they were truly living out a honeymoon.When Lily’s che
