Gianna

"I have always admired your kind heart, your softness, and the silent strength you’ve carried since you were a child," Xavier’s voice softened, steady and sure. "That’s who you are, Gianna. You don’t have to prove you’re strong by walking into danger. The world needs those like you—to hold both balance and love together. Like Persephone, who carried the light and the darkness of the underworld within her. And that doesn’t make you any less lovable. Or any less worthy."

I stared blankly at him, my throat tight, my chest aching. I didn’t know what to say, because somewhere deep down, I knew he was right. Maybe I had been trying to be like Amara, trying to wear her skin of resilience and battle scars because Nico had loved her for eighteen long years, and that still stung like a wound that refused to close.

"Now what do I do?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, almost afraid of the answer.

"Go home," Xavier said firmly but gently. "Get some rest. Talk to Nico. And once Cae

    Gianna Maximus Vanucci was somehow connected to Drago Barbaro?How? Why?I froze, staring at Leo as my mind tried to process it. My stomach turned. I remembered what Nico had told me when he’d explained the ‘89 Collapse—about Drago being one of the most feared men in the underworld. Ruthless. The kind of man who didn’t just destroy you, he erased you.And Maximus... had ties to him?No. That couldn’t be real.“And that means the Massimo you mentioned is... Massimo Bellucci, Drago’s nephew,” Domani said quietly, his face pale.“Is this him?” Leo asked, turning his phone toward me.I forced myself to look at the photograph. My chest felt tight.It was him. The same man.“Yes,” I whispered, glancing up at my brother.“I knew it,” Leo muttered, his expression dark. “I knew that bastard was up to no good.”“But how?” Caelian frowned. “What does Maximus have to do with Drago? How in hell can those two be related? Maximus grew up in foster homes. How could Drago Barbaro be his godfather? W

    GiannaThe hospital room smelled like antiseptic and clinical. The fluorescent lights hummed overhead, making my skin crawl. Caelian was lying on the bed, his head wrapped in bandages, dark hair sticking to his damp forehead. The bruises already forming along his jawline and temple made my stomach knot, and I swallowed hard.Rizzo and Marco hovered near the foot of the bed, alert, tense, but unable to do anything but watch. My own arm throbbed where I’d been cut; the forearm bandage felt tight, suffocating, and the bruise blooming across my cheek stung every time I moved. The dull ache in my ribs reminded me that Dolcezza’s blade had grazed me, but I pushed it aside. I had to stay present.The doctor, a stern woman with a clipped bun and eyes sharp enough to cut steel, was staring at the CT scan on the lightbox. She turned, nodding slowly, then faced me.“No internal injury,” she said, her voice professional, calm. “He’s lucky. But you should watch for concussion symptoms: headache, d

    GiannaDolcezza.Dolcezza was here. What was he doing here? How was he here when Caelian’s men checked everything?My blood turned cold as I felt his hot breath on my neck and the pointed end of the metal press into my belly. I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths, forcing myself to remember what Amara had drilled into me during training.Fear is a tool — not a leash. Let it sharpen you, don’t let it own you. When fear surprises you, it will kill you unless you take it by the throat and turn it into fuel.“I had a hunch you’d come here,” he said, voice low and spitting. “I noticed from what Max told me that you’re curious. He thinks it’s endearing because he’s madly in love. I find it annoying as fuck. I find you annoying — all your never‑ending drama and that poor, broken‑girl act. Y

    We were huddled in the back of a black van, later that night. Shadows pressed in around us, the silence of the night louder than anything. Caelian lifted his wrist, the faint green glow of his watch cutting the dark.“Still ten minutes,” he murmured, more to himself than to us. “We move at twenty to three.”Rico and Marco, his two men, sat on either side of him, dressed in black from head to toe like Caelian and me. It helped to camouflage, Caelian had told me.“You can just wait here,” Caelian muttered, looking uneasy. He was twitching since the moment he picked me up from home.I shook my head. “No. I’m coming.”His jaw flexed, but he didn’t waste breath on an argument. Instead, he dug into the duffel at his feet and placed a gun and a knife in my hands.“You know how to work these, right?”I nodded, testing the grip of the knife.

    Gianna"How did you even get a map of his home?" I demanded, leaning over Caelian’s shoulder.“I have my connections,” he said with a wink, then immediately went back to his sharp, focused state.We were hunched over the layout of Maximus’s villa in a quiet corner of a coffee shop, trying to look casual. But men like Caelian…they were honestly far from casual. The place was discreet enough, though so no one would notice us plotting a break-in. Still, honestly, I felt like every eye in the city was on us.We had chosen this place because we couldn’t do this at home. If Leo finds out what we were about to, he would go crazy even though he wasn’t even home. Lately, he and Xavier had been out a lot, and even when he was at home, Leo always looked grim. Something was definitely brewing there.“So… what a
