DELUCA

The last time I had been to this lounge was the day before Lorenzo’s death. That night, I had to confront him personally—even though I had stayed out of the business ever since we became partners.

The reason for that confrontation is known to only a few people to this day—and I’d prefer to keep it that way.

When I turned down Luca's invitation to go to the club, I came here hoping she might show up. The fire I saw in her sharp hazel eyes at the cemetery told me she was hungry for the truth about what happened to her husband.

And I had been right. She’s here for answers. I underestimated her—maybe more than I’d like to admit.

I just hadn’t expected her to confront me so directly.

She walked into the lounge with a boldness that made it seem like she’d been coming here all her life. Her heels complemented the elegant lines of her legs, and her skin glowed under the lounge lights, a perfect match for the warm amber tones. Her long, dark hair framed her magazine-cover face and casca

    ELENA I’d seen enough to make me walk out.Sitting in that warehouse, watching the scene unfold, I had wished it were Dante screaming and begging for his life the way Louie had.But this war had evolved into a matter of survival. The fittest. The fiercest.Dante had made it clear—he’d go to any length to get to me.He’d used Sarah to send that message. Loud. Clear.It was time. Time to settle the score. Long overdue.The afternoon sun hit my face as I stepped out of the car.Sarah was already home, resting after her discharge.But I was here for someone else.Ava.I pushed the hospital door open slowly, careful not to startle anyone. The soft beeping of machines greeted me again, accompanied by that sterile scent of antiseptic and plastic. But today, the room felt different—brighter, lighter.The curtains were drawn open, letting sunlight flood in. There were fewer wires now. Fewer machines. Less of that quiet, heavy dread.Ava sat propped up in bed, her hair brushed and tied neatly

    DELUCA No one had ever dared to cross me like this.No one.Yet here I was, staring down the fact that I’d just acquired a new faceless enemy. Bold move.Bullshit if I said I didn’t want to tear someone apart right now.“We’re on our way back,” Lucas said over the phone, his voice clipped, tense. “But we lost two of our men.”I gritted my teeth. “Bring the unlucky bastard here.”I ended the call and glanced around the warehouse. This place was never meant for storage. I kept it for nights like this—for the enemies who had made me motherless before I could even ride a bike. Over time, the list had only grown longer. The deeper I got in this life, the more enemies I made. It was inevitable.But thanks to this little corner of hell, I’d been settling my scores one at a time. And today would be no different.This one had declared himself my enemy without knowing what that meant. That kind of ignorance deserved punishment.I rolled up my sleeves, smiling as I lined up the instruments on t

    ELENAI had no idea what was happening to me whenever I was around DeLuca. I’d been with men before Lorenzo, but with DeLuca… it was different. I couldn’t explain it. He unnerved me, and yet, he intrigued me.He was everything Lorenzo wasn’t.I’d been married to Lorenzo for four years, yet just days after his death, it felt like I’d been married to a stranger. Like I’d been living with a mask, never seeing the man underneath. But with DeLuca? With him, it felt like I’d known him all my life.Still, the question haunted me:Who ordered the hit on Lorenzo?And truthfully, the deeper I dug, the more I wondered if Lorenzo even deserved the loyalty I was giving him now. But I had made a promise—to myself, to the truth—and I hadn’t gone back on that. Not once.My hand drifted to my lips as the memory of last night’s kiss hit me. I could still feel his hands on me… the heat, the urgency. I’d pulled him closer, wanting more, needing more. And now, even as I sat quietly in the car, staring ahe

    DELUCAI couldn’t bear to leave her and the kid alone—not with Dante out there, unpredictable as ever.Even though she wasn’t exactly helpless. Elena could take care of herself, and the boy. And of course, there were bodyguards stationed around the mansion to watch their backs.Still… I followed her to Lorenzo’s mansion. Something about the unease in my chest wouldn’t let me walk away.Now I stood in the elaborate guest room, the quiet pressing in around me. My eyes moved slowly over the elegant furniture and polished marble, the ghost of Lorenzo still lingering in every corner.I walked toward the wardrobe, hoping to find some spare clothes. When I opened it, I immediately recognized the scent that hit me. Lorenzo’s cologne. The same one he wore the night we exchanged blows at the casino—the night before his death.The memory burned in my mind, sharp and unresolved.The clothes were neatly folded, untouched. Too Lorenzo. Too personal.I dropped them back inside the wardrobe with a qu

    ELENA Now that I knew Sarah was out of danger, a different weight settled in my chest—one that had nothing to do with relief.It was the sudden, overwhelming need to see my dad.What if it had been him lying in that hospital bed instead of Sarah?The thought shook me so deeply as I sit beside Sarah, my eyes fixed on her pale face. I turned to Mr. Leo and said quietly, “Get the car ready. Let’s take Mark home so he can eat and get some rest.”“I want to stay with Aunt Sarah,” I heard him whisper from the other side of the bed. His small voice broke the silence in the room.Sarah smiled faintly, even in her weakened state, and kept rocking his hand gently as though she were trying to hold both his heart and her strength together.“I’ll be home soon,” she told him softly. “And I don’t want to see you looking all lean and unkempt, okay?”He nodded, though he didn’t look convinced. His eyes were glassy and heavy, but he clung to her words like a promise.I turned then, catching Lucas’s ga

    DELUCAThis is not how I’d planned today to go.Honestly, running into Francesco at the hospital was the last thing I expected—and now it seemed I was going to be sharing Elena’s attention with him.I knew it was selfish, especially under these circumstances, but I couldn’t help the way it gnawed at me.Now, standing inside the ward with Francesco and Mr. Leo, I watched Lucas.“Oh, Lucas…” I muttered under my breath.He looked like it was his family member lying in that hospital bed. The boy—Mark—was awake now, and Lucas hadn’t moved an inch since.I’d never seen him like this. The bastard actually looked like he had a heart after all.Feeling the room grow too heavy, too full, I decided to step out. My gaze briefly flicked to Lucas, but he didn’t even look my way.Instead, he held onto the boy like…Hell, like he was his own.I closed the door gently behind me and stepped out into the corridor. No one paid me any attention, which was fine—I needed the space.I wandered lazily down th
