LOGIN"Get out, you fucking bitch!" Luca barked harshly, shoving his steel-hard dick back into his pants, fumbling slightly as he reached for his trousers. His voice was sharp and dangerous, dripping with frustration and desire left unsatisfied.
Alessia stood still, trembling. Something about what she'd just witnessed stirred something deep inside her. The scent of sweat and lust still hung heavy in the air. Her body betrayed her, a wave of wetness pooling between her thighs. Her nipples hardened, brushing against the thin fabric of her blouse. She shouldn't feel this, not about him. Not about Luca Morano.
But damn it, she did.
She clutched her arms around herself, confused and ashamed. Why am I imagining him holding me the same way? Touching me the same way? Why do I wish it was me beneath him, moaning his name?
No, she screamed inside. I can't feel this. I'm a servant. Just a servant, and I have my lover.
But what I just saw is driving a strong sensation through my body, flicking up frisson.
"I'm sorry, sir," she said softly, biting her lips as she lowered her gaze in shame. "I'll get a mop and tidy up the room. I... I actually knocked, but the music was too loud."
Her voice was low and shaking, cheeks flushed pink.
Luca evaded his eyes from hers and said blankly, "Then do that. Now!" he muttered, buttoning his trousers and turning away from her.
Alessia quickly turned, leaving the room, but her legs wobbled as she walked. Her heart was racing, her body tingling. She returned with a cleaning stick and a packer, cleaning up the mess quietly. Her fingers moved swiftly, but her mind was still replaying the image of Luca's naked body, the raw lust in his voice, the size of his dick. So big... so damn big.
As she finished mopping and turned to leave, Luca grabbed his phone. His voice was colder and dangerous.
"Fuck. She ruined it," he muttered under his breath. "I still need to fuck someone tonight." He grit his teeth, shooting a deadly glare at her.
He dialed a number quickly.
"Mrs. Anne," he said when the call connected. "Get me two of your best sluts tonight. Yeah, I want a threesome. Send them to one of the VIP rooms in the club."
He ended the call without waiting for her reply,
And stomped out of the house swiftly.
Alessia didn't wait another second. She picked her things and slipped out of the room, shutting the door softly behind her.
She hurried to the servants' quarters, still flushed and breathless. Her friend Daisy was folding some laundry when she walked in.
Alessia placed her hands on the wall for support, feeling her breath being yanked out.
Daisy, who had been watching her friend's strange behavior, couldn't help but ask,
"You've been acting strange since you came back from Luca's room," Daisy said, frowning. "Are you sure you're okay?"
Alessia hesitated, crossing her arms tightly over her chest. "Yeah… I'm fine. Just… a little headache. I think I miss my boyfriend, that's all."
Daisy raised an eyebrow and gave her a playful smirk. "Oh, lover girl… Don't worry. The weekend's just around the corner. You'll see him soon." She teased.
Alessia forced a smile. "Yeah, that's true."
But deep down, she knew it wasn't her boyfriend she was aching for.
Later that evening, the grand dining hall of the Morano mansion was bathed in gold light. The family was gathered for dinner, dressed in quiet elegance, and the air was thick with authority.
As always, the servants took their places to serve. Alessia and Daisy moved swiftly, placing wine glasses and dishing meals with trained grace on the table.
Luca was seated to the right of Don Morano, drinking a glass of scotch lazily. His eyes bore boredom, already having the instance to go out of the house to Club Inferno, the luxurious, exclusive strip club run by Mrs. Anne. The place was famous for its strip dancers and dark pleasures.
Just as Alessia leaned forward to place a cup beside him, her boobs brushed his back slightly. The light touch sent a spark straight to her core, and she gasped quietly. A small drip of wetness escaped, dampening her panties. Her body was burning, reacting against her will.
No… stop it, Alessia… stop this madness… she said within herself.
But Daisy noticed.
The way her friend's breath hitched, the way she froze for a second too long.
As soon as they finished serving, Alessia bowed respectfully before turning to leave. Daisy caught her hand and quickly pulled her into their room.
"Alright. Spill," Daisy whispered sharply. "What's going on with you?"
Alessia bit her lip hard, eyes laced with confusion and shame, and sat down on the edge of the bed, fingers gripping the hem of her dress tightly and trying to deny what Daisy was talking about. "I wasn't late, Daisy," she said with a slight shake in her voice. "I know I wasn't late to assist you serve dinner. I timed everything just right."
Daisy raised her brows, arms folded. "I didn't say you were late. I said you were… distracted."
Alessia's eyes darted up. "Distracted?"
"Yes," Daisy said with a sly grin. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. You brushed Luca's back and nearly melted into a puddle right there. Don't tell me that was just innocent."
Alessia turned away. "It was a reflex, Daisy. That's all it was. Nothing important."
Daisy leaned in closer, her smirk deepening. "Then I suppose your nipples got hard by accident too? Because they were poking right through that thin fabric, and girl... if I noticed, I'm sure he did too."
Alessia gasped softly, clutched her chest, and looked down at herself. Her dress clung to her body, and yes, the evidence was still there. Firm, pointed, aching.
"Please stop," she whispered, cheeks flushed. "I… I can't explain what's wrong with me lately."
Daisy laughed softly. "I think your body knows what it wants, even if your head keeps trying to deny it."
But Alessia needed to change the subject fast. "I heard they were having a conversation during dinner. About Donato suggesting someone Luca should marry. That's more important than my… than this."
Daisy's expression shifted instantly. "What? They're finally talking about it?"
"Yes," Alessia nodded. "And we need to hear what's being said. You know we're the only maids allowed in the inner chambers. The others can't get close, but you and I can. We need to know what's happening in this family."
"That's true, girl," Daisy said eagerly, adjusting her apron and brushing back her hair. "Let's go. Let's get the real conversation. I swear, if they say it's someone else, I'm burning this whole mansion down."
Alessia chuckled faintly, but her heart was thudding with uncertainty. Something in her knew something hard was coming.
As they walked quietly toward the dining hall, staying close to the walls, Daisy whispered, "Oh my God… I can't wait to wear Luca's ring on my finger. Once I'm his wife, no more random sluts trying to seduce him. He'll be mine. All mine."
Alessia smiled tightly. "Yeah, that's good. And I'll serve you as the latest bride of the Morano family. With all their wealth, power, and the name that commands everything."
"Say that again," Daisy beamed, walking with pride. "I love how it sounds!"
They reached the thick velvet curtains that draped one side of the dining hall and carefully slipped behind them. Alessia peeked through a small fold just as Donato, seated near the head of the table, cleared his throat to speak.
"I've been thinking about it seriously," Donato said in his firm, measured voice. "And I believe Luca should get married soon. It's time."
All heads turned to him.
"Have you chosen someone already?" their mother asked, setting her wine glass down.
Donato nodded. "Yes... Alessia."
Luca's eyes widened as he glared at his brother with perplexity.
"Alessia? I thought you would be getting me married with an international model or something! Alessia isn't it," Luca snapped, his expression blank.
There was silence.
"I hope you understand that Alessia is the perfect choice for you! She's loyal and innocent!" Donato cut in, and Luca couldn't help but sneer coldly.
Their mother's brows shot up. "Why Alessia? Is it because she serves him well as his personal maid? I hope this isn't just favoritism."
Donato leaned back calmly. "As the eldest son, it is my right to suggest who is fit. And Alessia, his personal maid, has proven her loyalty, her discretion, and her discipline. I won't share my full reasons yet, but trust me when I say, she is the perfect woman for him."
He paused, then added, "Of course, if it goes against Luca's will, then he may choose another. But I have a strong feeling Alessia is exactly what he needs."
Luca leaned back and scoffed.
Behind the curtain, Alessia froze.
Her breath caught in her throat, she felt her heart slamming against her ribcage, feeling her body trembling. Me?
There was only one Alessia in this entire household. It couldn't be anyone else.
In slow motion, she turned her head slowly toward Daisy, who had been smiling all along. But now… her face fell, expression darkened.
Tears brimmed in Daisy's eyes, disbelief written all over her face.
She took a meticulous step back, hand over her mouth. "No," she whispered. "No, that's not… it can't be…"
The place breathes smoke and chaos as the night folds in on itself. Luca stands with his gun raised, chest heaving, eyes burning with fury .Donato and Princess Elowen stand behind him, dust clinging to their clothes, the air tense enough to snap.Lorenzo smirks, blood dripping down his brow, gun aimed straight at the woman on black hat."Any last words for the master of the game , and the smarter one who wins at the end ?.she said and raised her face up….. It is seraphina .Her lips curve, painted in a poison-red that glows even in the dim light. The shadows behind her crawl like living creatures as her men storm in. A rope shoots across the room, snatching every gun from every hand in a single, violent sweep.Luca's weapon is ripped from him. Donato's too. Even Lorenzo's pistol spins in the air like it recognizes a new master.Seraphina lifts her chin, smiling with the confidence of someone who has returned from death itself.The witch's deal has healed her and other affected per
The night had already turned red.Not metaphorically — literally red, as though the sky above the ruins bled into the earth. Smoke curled like veins of fire, the wind carrying the metallic scent of danger. The ground trembled with the weight of everything unraveling.Romeo's fingers were inches from the black book about to set ablaze when....THUD.A boot slammed brutally into his spine. His scream tore out, sharp and short, as his body was launched forward. He hit his head hard on a stone and passed out.The black book flew from his hand, spinning wildly before crashing onto the dirt, skidding directly toward Donato.Donato gasped, blood pouring down his thigh like a leaking river. His jaw locked in agony, but he dragged himself forward on his elbows. Every move cut fire through his leg, but he didn't care. That book was the Morano destiny—his destiny—and he refused to die without holding it again.The sky pulsed crimson. A strange heat coiled through the air.Luca's heart hamme
The Morano mansion had never felt this silent.Its corridors usually breathed with the footsteps of guards, the low hum of generators, the murmured orders of men trained to kill for the family. But tonight, silence wrapped around the walls like a shroud unnatural, heavy, too still for a house that belonged to the most feared bloodline on the western coast.Alessia felt it long before the pain started.She stood at the balcony of the east wing, fingers gripping the railing, her breath fogging the night air as she watched the taillights of Luca, Donato, and Romeo's Cars fade beyond the wrought-iron gates. They left in a rush—too fast, too tense—answering a call that smelled of danger. The mission to Averia City was supposed to be quick, surgical. Recover their son and his stolen heart, take back what belonged to Morano blood, and return before dawn.But the moment the gates clanged shut, something inside Alessia twisted.Something cold....Something warning.Behind her, Daisy hovered
The knock came again…..Soft, slow and too deliberate for an intruder, too familiar for a stranger.Donato rose from the leather sofa, shoulders stiff, jaw tightened with a dread no one had ever seen him carry. Luca and Romeo exchanged confused glances—because Donato Morano was a man who feared nothing. Not bullets, not death, not the ghosts of the family he had buried.But this knock… It hollowed the room.Alessia tightened her arms around herself, sensing something cold pressing through the air. Daisy stood beside her, hands trembling lightly despite her effort to hide it. The mansion suddenly felt too quiet, too breathless.Donato reached the door.His fingers brushed the handle—then he paused, whispering so quietly Luca almost missed it. "….it can't be."But he opened the door anyway and there was nothing.No footsteps, no shadow, no wind and no sign of life at all.Just the long, silent hallway stretching into darkness.He stood frozen, staring into the emptiness like he was s
The wind outside wailed like a trapped animal, scraping its sorrow against the jagged stone. But inside, the cold silence was sharper—an assassin wearing stillness as a mask.Lorenzo moved through the cavern with the precision of a man born from shadow. A single lantern burned on the wooden table, its flame trembling as though afraid of him. The faint light revealed the array he had laid out: three vials of ink-black liquid, a map of the city carved into leather, and a list of names written in his own blood.Names that would not live to see the Red Moon Eclipse.He dragged a gloved finger over the list, stopping on the first name.Bianca…..He didn't smile, he didn't need to. His silence said everything."She thinks she can play me," he murmured, voice low and velvet-dark. "She thinks she knows the rules of this war…"He dipped his finger into one of the vials and made a swift stroke across her name."But she doesn't realize I'm rewriting them."His footsteps echoed as he crossed to
The cave breathed like a living thing. Very cold, wet and cruel.The dripping water echoed in rhythmic intervals, each drop like a countdown to someone's ruin. Lorenzo sat on the cracked stone throne at the very back of the cavern, hood pulled low over his face, shadow slicing across the sharp line of his jaw. His fingers toyed with the small vial of blackened liquid beside him—seraphina's fate, and the first step in his rising storm.He tilted his head, listening to the distant moan of the wind funneling through the cave's mouth. His lips curled, not in amusement but in calculation."It worked," he murmured, voice low, velvet-wrapped poison. "Seraphina is down, her panic will shake her soldiers defenses…. Distraction one."He leaned his head back and exhaled slowly, as though savoring the taste of victory—quiet, controlled, patient.But his eyes hidden beneath the hood burned the color of a man who'd lost everything and decided the world would pay for it."Alessia"….. His voice al
