Vincenzo pulled her into a tight embrace, as if letting go might mean losing her forever, and pressed a lingering kiss to the crown of her head, feeling the soft strands of her hair against his lips.

Vittoria dissolved into silent tears, burying her face against his chest, and he stroked her gently, as if his touch could shield her from the world and mend her sorrow with his strength.

“I know it’s not fair to ask this of you,” Vittoria murmured, her voice breaking under the weight of her guilt. “But…”

“Shh, bella,” Vincenzo hushed her, holding her even closer. “I could never bear being the cause of your pain,” he confessed, his hand gliding tenderly down her back.

He closed his eyes for a moment, breathing in her sweet, unmistakable scent, mingling with the fresh air of the hills.

“I promise,” he said at last, cradling her face gently between his hands, his thumbs brushing away the tears that streaked her cheeks.

He leaned down, pressing a slow kiss to her forehead, then another to th

  • The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage   83 – The quality of her days

    Vittoria’s throat burned, her eyes welling as she clutched the teddy to her chest, fighting to hold back the tears threatening to spill.Sensing the weight in the air, Vincenzo leaned closer to the bed and, with deliberate playfulness, tapped the tip of Lily’s nose again, knowing it would coax out the soft giggle that never failed to appear.“What’s this?” he teased, raising an eyebrow as if genuinely surprised. “I think I saw a little smile trying to sneak out.”Lily brought her small hand to her mouth, trying to stifle the laugh that bubbled up, but soon gave in, her eyes sparkling with joy.“Uncle Vince, you always tickle my nose!”“And I’ll do it as many times as it takes, because your laugh is the sweetest melody I’ve ever heard.”Vittoria stood still, as if afraid that even a deeper breath might shatter the moment.She glanced at Lily’s mother and, amidst the emotion still gripping her, offered a subtle smile paired with a gentle nod.“Can I sit on your lap, Uncle Vince?” Lily a

    Vittoria smiled and nodded, though she knew some of the morning’s charm had been lost in the café, caught in unanswered questions and lingering tension.Vincenzo took her hand, guiding her through Bath’s streets with a steady stride, his grip warm and reassuring.He chose to walk in silence, perhaps hoping the rhythm of their steps and the surrounding scenery would dissolve the remnants of unease, restoring some of the morning’s magic.After a few minutes weaving through bustling streets, Vittoria realized they stood before a modern building with wide glass windows reflecting the grayish light of late morning.“A hospital?” she asked, a touch of surprise in her voice.“Yes,” Vincenzo replied, offering no further explanation, his gaze fixed ahead as he led her through the glass entrance.The receptionist greeted him with a respectful nod, bypassing formalities, as if his presence alone opened every door.They moved down a quieter corridor, where a simple sign read: Pediatric Oncology.

  • The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage   81 – A pause

    Vincenzo held her in his arms for a moment that seemed to stretch into eternity, as if he wanted to capture the feeling of having her so close forever.Bath’s beauty was already striking on its own, but with Vittoria by his side, every ancient cobblestone street, every timeworn facade, and even the soft glint of sunlight on the water took on a new vibrancy.“Ready for the next stop?” Vincenzo asked softly, brushing his fingers gently across her cheek.“I hope it involves food, because I’m starving!” Vittoria exclaimed with a burst of enthusiasm, laughing as she laced her fingers with his.“Starving? How?” he teased, guiding her through the surroundings. “We just had breakfast.”“Maybe the change of country woke a monster in me. With all these new treats, my hunger just keeps growing,” she admitted, tossing him a mischievous glance as she laughed.He let out a low chuckle at her confession and, without letting go of her hand, led her through the bustling streets.After a few minutes of

    Vincenzo led her to the master suite, where they shared a long, soothing bath, the water washing away the intensity of their earlier conversation.Afterward, they dressed slowly, preparing for Vincenzo to fulfill his promise: to show Vittoria every corner of the city that held a piece of his story.“Tell me our first stop is the Roman Baths,” Vittoria said, her excitement evident as she bent to tie her sneaker laces.“I’m at your service to take you wherever you wish, my lady. The Roman Baths are just the beginning—today, Bath exists for you.”“You’re getting awfully romantic,” she teased, standing and wrapping her arms around his neck, a playful smile dancing on her lips. “Should I be worried?”“You should, bella, because every day I spend with you only convinces me of one thing: I’ll never let you slip out of my life again.”Vittoria flashed a brief smile, as if ready to retort, but her words faded when Vincenzo gripped her waist and pulled her close.The kiss came unexpectedly, dee

    Vittoria leaned in and kissed him, wholly surrendered to the love that bound them, her heart swelling with gratitude for these fleeting moments of serenity and joy after such intense, turbulent days.“I can’t wait to travel with you again,” she whispered, her lips grazing his in a caress that blended tenderness with desire.Instantly, breakfast became a forgotten detail, and as always between them, the spark of desire flared without restraint, setting every inch of their bodies ablaze.Vincenzo pulled her onto his lap, the press of their bodies drawing a soft moan from her lips.Vittoria gave herself over completely, her fingers threading through his hair, pulling him closer, as if their nearness could never be enough.Heat spread across their skin, each touch igniting the surrounding air, until their breaths mingled in ragged sighs and murmured whispers.Days passed, and together, Vittoria and Vincenzo attended every funeral, offering solace to the families whose lives had been shatt

    The rosebush before them swayed gently in the breeze, as if it too shared the sorrow of the moment, a silent witness to a love that endured even in absence.Vittoria wept softly, her body surrendered against Vincenzo’s chest, as if seeking refuge from the reality that cut so deeply.Vincenzo closed his eyes tightly, holding her firmly in his arms, and silently prayed to his son, a silent plea that wherever he was, he would feel the love they would always give him.“You’ll always be a part of me, and I’ll never stop loving you,” Vittoria whispered, her fingers gliding over a petal with a tender touch, as if it were a caress meant for their child.Then, with a heavy sigh laden with grief, Vittoria rose slowly, summoning the last of her strength to pull herself together.Vincenzo stood with her, unwavering, staying close and silently lacing his fingers with hers.Together, they walked back along the path, step by step, with the quiet resolve of those who knew pain didn’t vanish but could
