LOGINThree weeks passed peacefully after the gathering.For the first time in years, the Romano estate no longer woke to urgent phone calls or emergency meetings. Instead, mornings were filled with ordinary sounds.Children of the household staff laughed as they chased one another through the gardens.The soldiers trained on the far side of the estate, their movements sharp and disciplined. They were no longer preparing for war, only maintaining the strength that protected the family.Near the fountain, gardeners carefully trimmed blooming flowers while birds sang from the trees.It was a peaceful morning. Inside the main house, sunlight streamed through the bedroom curtains.Lucia slowly opened her eyes. She remained still for a moment before smiling. She had slept through the entire night.No nightmares. No explosions. No fear.Beside her, Alessio was already awake, quietly reading a report. Lucia sighed dramatically. “You’ve been awake for how long?”He looked up from the papers. “Not l
The soft melody continued drifting through the Romano estate long after the dance ended.Although the formal celebration was over, no one seemed eager to leave. The gardens were still alive with quiet conversations and warm laughter as guests gathered in smaller groups beneath the glowing lights.The atmosphere felt different from every gathering the estate had hosted before.There were no tense negotiations. No whispered threats. No armed men watching every movement with suspicion.Tonight, people spoke about family, the future, and the peace they had all fought so hard to achieve.Walking hand in hand, Alessio and Lucia greeted the remaining guests together. Several people stopped them simply to thank them for hosting such a memorable evening.Lucia smiled warmly as she spoke with each guest. Months ago, she would have been nervous standing among so many powerful people.Now, she felt completely at ease. The Romano estate had finally become home.Near one of the garden terraces, Rom
The peace gathering continued long after the formal speeches ended.The Romano estate glowed beneath hundreds of warm lights. Music drifted through the gardens as guests enjoyed dinner and conversation. Laughter rose from every corner of the celebration, replacing the tense silence that had once filled every gathering between powerful families.Lucia walked through the garden with a gentle smile, greeting guests as they stopped to speak with her.Months ago, she would have worried about saying the wrong thing.Today, she simply enjoyed herself. She no longer felt like someone trying to prove she belonged.She already did.As she passed one of the tables, an elderly family leader smiled warmly. “You’ve created something remarkable here.”Lucia looked around the estate. “We all did.”The man nodded in agreement. “For the first time in many years, people are smiling more than they’re watching their backs.”She thanked him before continuing through the garden. Across the courtyard, Alessi
The Romano estate came alive before the sun had fully risen.Luxury vehicles rolled through the open gates one after another, their polished exteriors catching the morning light. Uniformed guards welcomed each arrival with quiet professionalism before directing them toward the grand entrance.Representatives from powerful mafia families stepped out alongside trusted advisors and carefully selected security teams.Months ago, gatherings like this had been filled with suspicion. Every glance had carried hidden meaning. Every conversation had felt like a negotiation. Today was different.There was still caution—it was part of the world they lived in—but there was also something unfamiliar.Respect.Marco stood near the entrance with an earpiece in place, calmly watching every arrival.He greeted each guest politely while discreetly signaling security teams stationed throughout the estate.Everything was running exactly as planned. One of his men approached. “Perimeter secure.”Marco nodd
Morning sunlight stretched across the Romano estate, casting a glow over the gardens.The mansion was already awake.Workers moved between flower beds, carefully arranging fresh white roses along the pathways. Others polished the marble floors inside the grand hall until they reflected the light from the crystal chandeliers above.Long banquet tables were being decorated with elegant centerpieces. Staff carried trays, folded linen napkins, and checked every detail twice.Near the main gates, security teams quietly inspected vehicles, tested communication devices, and reviewed guest lists one final time.Unlike the months of war, there was no fear in their movements. Everything was calm.Organized. Purposeful. Lucia stepped out onto the front terrace and paused.A gentle breeze carried the scent of fresh flowers through the air. She slowly looked around the estate.The first time she had arrived here as Alessio’s bride, the mansion had felt cold and unwelcoming.Every hallway had seeme
The morning sun streamed through the tall windows of Lucia’s fashion house, filling the studio with warm light. Every corner buzzed with activity.Tailors carefully stitched the final details onto elegant gowns. Assistants carried fabric rolls from one room to another. Models arrived one after another for their fittings while photographers adjusted lights and discussed angles for the upcoming promotional shoot.It was busy. Chaotic.And somehow, it was exactly how Lucia had always dreamed it would be.She stood in the middle of the studio, clipboard in hand, watching one of the seamstresses make a final adjustment to a cream-colored evening gown.“A little tighter around the waist,” Lucia suggested gently. “It should look elegant without feeling uncomfortable.”The seamstress nodded immediately. “Yes, Miss Lucia.”Lucia smiled. “Perfect.”As she walked toward another fitting room, one of her youngest assistants hurried over with a notebook. “Miss Lucia?”Lucia looked up. “Yes?”“The b
The darkness didn’t last long.It never did in a place like this.Emergency lights flickered on in violent pulses, painting the shattered mansion in broken shades of red and gold.Alarms screamed through the walls.Footsteps thundered everywhere.And somewhere outside—gunfire erupted again.I coul
“She looked like you because she’s biologically related to you.”The words echoed through the library.For a moment, I couldn’t hear anything else.Not the ticking clock.Not the rain tapping against the windows.Not even my own heartbeat.Everything disappeared except those seven words.Biological
The dead woman had my face.For a second, I couldn't breathe.Couldn't think.Couldn't move.The words echoed inside my head over and over again.My face.My face.My face."What?" I whispered.The guard swallowed.His expression was pale.Terrified.Not because of the body.Because of what it mean
For a second, nobody moved.Not me.Not Alessio.Not Marco.Not even the collapsing tunnel behind us seemed to matter anymore.Because Bianca was standing there.But she didn’t feel like Bianca.Not the girl who used to cry over broken nails or panic before engagement parties.Not the sister who cl
