The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 158: The Forced Vacation
Surrender is usually a tactical error. It implies defeat. It implies a loss of territory.But in this bathroom, under the steam and the scent of lavender oil, surrender feels less like a loss and more like a drowning.I am sitting in the massive claw-foot tub in the master suite. The water is milky white, infused with salts and oils that Ciro measured out with the precision of a chemist. It is hot, soothing the ache in my lower back and the residual tension in my abdomen from the false labor.I am naked. Exposed. Heavy.Ciro kneels beside the tub.He has rolled up his sleeves, exposing the dark hair on his forearms. He holds a large natural sponge. He dips it into the water, squeezing it so the warm liquid cascades over my shoulders.He doesn't speak. He works with a silent, terrifying tenderness.He washes my arms. He washes my chest, careful around the sensitivity of my breasts. He washes the swell of my stomach, his hand moving in slow, reverence circles over the skin that is stret
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 157: The Fire Drill
Chaos in this house usually sounds like gunfire. It sounds like shouting, crashing glass, and the heavy thud of boots on marble.This chaos sounds like silence.Terrified, vibrating silence.I am lying on the bed in the medical suite—the room we prepped months ago, the room that smells of antiseptic and fear. My hands are clutching the sheets. My breath comes in short, shallow gasps.The contraction that doubled me over in the office has passed, leaving behind a dull, bruised ache in my abdomen.But the panic in the room is just hitting its peak.Aureliano is pacing.The King of Palermo, the man who stared down the entire Commission without blinking, is walking a hole in the expensive rug. He is on the phone, barking orders into the receiver with a ferocity that suggests he is calling in an airstrike, not a doctor."I don't care if he's in surgery," Aureliano snarls. "Pull him out. If he doesn't get here in ten minutes, I will burn his clinic to the ground."Ciro stands by the door.H
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 156: The Pregnant General
Eight months is not a condition. It is a siege.My body has been annexed. My lungs are compressed, fighting for every breath against the intrusion of the heir’s feet. My spine is a bowstring pulled too tight, aching with a dull, constant throb that radiates into my hips.I am a planet. I have my own gravity. I have to navigate the world with a wide berth, calculating turn radiuses around furniture that never used to be in my way.I sit behind the massive mahogany desk in the office.Usually, I sit in the high-backed leather chair. Today, I am perched on the edge of the seat, legs wide, trying to find a position where my ribs don't feel like they are cracking.The desk is covered in maps. Not just Palermo anymore. We are looking at the Mediterranean.The Corsican issue has escalated. Spadino’s "loud" message—a car bomb that took out their forward operating base in Marseille—was received, but they are stubborn. They are probing our supply lines, looking for weakness."They shifted the r
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 155: The Vultures
Peace is expensive. It costs vigilance. It costs sleep. And apparently, it costs a significant amount of patience that I no longer have.I am sitting in the sunroom of the mansion. It is a space I reclaimed from the ghosts of Aureliano’s ancestors. I replaced the heavy, dusty drapes with sheer linen that lets the morning light flood in. I filled the corners with ferns and jasmine.It is my nesting ground.I have a laptop open on the glass table, scrolling through the architectural plans for the new community center we are funding in the North Quarter—part of the "legitimacy" initiative.Aureliano is with me.He is sitting on the plush sofa, reading a hardcover book, his long legs stretched out. He isn't working. He is just... existing. It is a rare, beautiful thing to see the King at rest.He reaches out without looking up from his page. His hand finds my ankle, resting on his knee. His fingers curl around the bone, his thumb stroking the arch of my foot through my silk stocking."You

The call comes at 0700 hours.I am in the nursery, nursing Matteo. The morning sun is filtering through the blinds, painting stripes of gold across the rocking chair. It is a peaceful scene, a Madonna and Child moment that feels stolen from a different life.Then the phone on the side table buzzes."Donna," Luca’s voice is shaky. "There has been... a personnel change.""What kind of change?""Captain Moretti. He has... retired. Effective immediately."I lower the phone. I look at Matteo’s sleeping face. I feel a cold knot form in my stomach—not fear, but the heavy, leaden weight of inevitability."Where is he?" I ask."Warehouse 4. The old textile plant.""And Ciro?"Silence. Then, a whisper."He's with him."I hand Matteo to the nanny. I don't change out of my silk blouse. I don't put on armor. I put on my heels.I drive myself.Warehouse 4 is a cavernous brick skeleton on the edge of the industrial district. It smells of rust and pigeons.I park the car. I walk through the side door
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 153: The Redistribution
The boardroom table is a battlefield of scratched mahogany and spilled espresso.Twenty men sit around it. They are the captains of the regime. Some are old, with faces like tanned leather and eyes that have seen three decades of Vitale rule. Some are young, hungry wolves Ciro promoted from the street.They are all looking at me.I sit at the head of the table.Aureliano stands to my right, leaning against the wall, his arms crossed. He is not sitting. He has ceded the chair. The visual impact of the King standing while the Queen sits is a sledgehammer to the traditionalists in the room."The numbers," I say.Luca, the accountant, projects a spreadsheet onto the wall."Quarterly profits are up twelve percent," Luca stammers. "Due to the consolidation of the Greco shipping lanes.""Excellent," I say. "Now, look at column D."The captains squint at the screen.Payroll Allocation."Effective immediately," I announce, my voice cutting through the hum of the projector, "base pay for all so
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 10: The Thirty-Day Queen
It is two in the morning.The house is sleeping. The monsters are in their caves.But the light under the library door is still on.I stand in the hallway. I am wearing my oversized t-shirt, my bare feet cold on the marble. I am shivering, but not from the temperature.I am shivering because I am a

The diary burns against my skin.I can feel the leather cover pressing between my breasts, hidden by my dress. Every breath I take reminds me it’s there.I am blood.The thought echoes in my head, louder than the clatter of pans in the kitchen. I am scrubbing a copper pot, my hands red and raw from

The silverware sounds like swords clashing.Clink. Scrape. Clink.It is our final meal. The Last Supper. But there is no messiah at this table, only three Judases and the woman they sold for thirty pieces of silver.I sit in the chair to Aureliano’s right—the Queen’s chair—one last time. I am weari

The house settles into an uneasy silence after the brawl. The maids have swept up the glass in the foyer, but the stain of violence hangs in the air like cigar smoke.I am sitting on the window seat, knees pulled to my chest, watching the moon reflect off the black water below.Five days.One hundr
