The Scarred Queen Chapter 10
Serena's POVWhen I reached the ground floor, the first thing I saw was bodyguards scattered everywhere like broken dolls, blood pooling on the marble floor. And Edward with his gun drawn."Stop!" I threw myself in front of Lorenzo. The barrel pressed right against my forehead, cold steel against my skin."Serena?" Both men froze. Edward stared at me in disbelief: "You'd rather die than let me shoot him?"His smile was cold and bitter. I glared back at him without flinching, my heart hammering in my chest. Lorenzo tried to pull me behind him, but Edward slowly lowered his weapon and turned away."Take her and go.""Edward?" I was stunned."Get out of here. Before I change my mind." Lorenzo kept his eyes locked on Edward as he guided me backward toward the exit, his arm firmly around my waist.Just as we reached the door, Edward called out: "Serena." I turned back. The distance was too great for him to see me clearly. "I can't protect you anymore."I turned and left. The moment we ste

Serena's POVAs I stepped outside, someone handed me a handkerchief.I looked up to see Lorenzo's cold, calculating eyes. "Thought you came out here to sober up. What the hell took you so long?"I took the handkerchief, slightly surprised. "Never thought Mr. Rosetti would come looking for me personally.""Don't flatter yourself. I'm just curious—who were you meeting with?" He raised an eyebrow with obvious suspicion.I smiled. "Should've known nothing gets past you.""Miss Ferrari." He leaned in closer, his gaze intense: "Working with me requires absolute loyalty. Otherwise..."Ever since he'd caught me digging into Rosetti Industries' finances, he'd been watching me like a hawk. But I couldn't exactly tell him I'd been investigating him because I didn't trust him either. That would totally kill our partnership vibe.I placed my hand over his mouth: "Relax. I definitely wasn't sneaking around meeting your mortal enemy or anything like that."He raised an eyebrow but didn't push further
The Scarred Queen Chapter 8
Serena's POVAcross the ocean in a dimly lit room, I watched the Ferrari stock prices plummet on my screen while swirling red wine in my glass, settling back into the leather sofa with satisfaction.And sitting across from me now was the most powerful Mafia boss in Sicily—Lorenzo Rosetti."Congratulations, Mr. Rosetti. Soon the Ferraris will be crushed under your heel."Lorenzo's lips curved into a smile."Never imagined the spare Ferrari daughter would go after her own family this ruthlessly. Color me impressed.""You're giving me too much credit, Mr. Rosetti. What kind of family would just abandon their daughter and sister to die?" The truth was, when I'd called begging for help that day, Dad and Stephen weren't actually busy. For anything involving Bianca's celebrations, they always cleared their schedules completely to be by her side. And they'd just chosen not to answer my calls. Rosetti's spies at the party had confirmed as much.Dad had always seen me as expendable. Stephen had

Edward's POVThe fire raged as firefighters battled the flames."There's no other way out of there! If she tried to run, the only option would've been jumping into the ocean!""Let me go! I have to—" I fought desperately to leap into the water, but my men held me back with everything they had.But how long could they really restrain someone like me? Just as I was about to break free and jump, a fist slammed into my face."Snap out of it!" It was Donald.Donald's hand trembled as he pulled back, breathing hard. "You know how calculating Serena can be. How do you know she didn't fake her own death?""What are you talking about..." I clutched my face, my voice shaking as I stared at my brother.Donald's chest heaved as he doubled down on the lie. "They haven't found a body or the kidnappers. What if this is all just another one of Serena's twisted schemes?" "She's probably getting off on watching you lose your shit. If you actually jump, then she really will have played you like a fuckin

Edward's POVThe phone call kept replaying in my head. I couldn't focus on the birthday party.I said something to Donald, who was talking to Bianca, then walked off to find somewhere quiet.I tried calling the number back.[Sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service...]My heart clenched tight, and I tried calling again, but got the same automated message.The frantic voice was still ringing in my ears: "They injected me with something, and they're gonna cut off my fingers!" "You promised you wouldn't let anything happen to me..."But this was Bianca's birthday. She'd been looking forward to it for weeks. She even asked me to save her a dance.I clenched my jaw and made another call. "Get five million together. Now.""Edward?" A soft voice came from behind me.I turned around. Bianca stood in the moonlit garden like an angel, her white dress sparkling with diamonds. "Why'd you ditch me and run off?"She walked up to me, starlight reflected in her eyes.My Adam's apple bobbed.
The Scarred Queen Chapter 5
Serena's POVI'd been rotting in this hellhole for three days. My skin was covered in welts—there wasn't an inch left that hadn't been torn up by their whip.The head kidnapper roared in furious: "Aren't you a fucking Ferrari?! Where's the goddamn ransom money? Three days and not a single cent! Are you even really their heiress?"I let out a bitter laugh. The Ferrari family only had one real heiress. And it sure as hell wasn't me."Last chance." The guy walked over with a syringe: "This stuff's gonna make everything hurt like hell. Call your family, and if they agree to wire the cash right now, I'll let you go. If not... well, let's just say we'll be sending your fingers home one by one.""What? No, please don't—AHHH!" The liquid burned as it hit my bloodstream. My heart started racing."Make the call!" They shoved the phone into my hands. I scrolled through my contacts.I tried Dad first. Voicemail. Then Stephen. Nothing. Bianca wasn't picking up either.Edward..."Hello?""Edward
