The hallway is quiet again.

The stampede of children, dogs, and husbands has moved downstairs, their energy draining away from the upper floor like a retreating tide. I can hear the distant, muffled clatter of silverware against china, the deep, rhythmic bark of the bulldog, and Spadino’s laughter echoing from the kitchen—a bright, chaotic sound that bounces off the marble floors I used to scrub on my knees.

  • The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen   Chapter 242: The End

    The hallway is quiet again.The stampede of children, dogs, and husbands has moved downstairs, their energy draining away from the upper floor like a retreating tide. I can hear the distant, muffled clatter of silverware against china, the deep, rhythmic bark of the bulldog, and Spadino’s laughter echoing from the kitchen—a bright, chaotic sound that bounces off the marble floors I used to scrub on my knees.They are waiting for me. They are waiting for the mother, the wife, the lover. They are waiting for the sun to rise so the day can officially begin.But for a moment, I stay.I need the silence. I need the pause between the heartbeat of the night and the breath of the morning to measure the distance I have traveled.I walk down the long, gallery hallway. My silk robe trails behind me, whispering against the stone. I pass the doors to the rooms that used to be cells in my mind. The library, where I learned the history of violence. The study, where I learned the math of power. The g

  • The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen   Chapter 241: The Morning

    Light in the Vitale mansion is usually filtered. Through curtains, through rain, through the smoke of a battle or the dust of a secret.But this morning, the light is unfiltered.It pours through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the master suite, a tidal wave of golden Sicilian sun that washes over the white duvet and the tangle of limbs beneath it. It is warm. Bright. Insistent.I wake up slowly.I am buried in the center of the pile. Aureliano’s arm is heavy across my waist. Ciro’s back is a solid wall against my spine. Spadino is snoring softly near my feet, having kicked the covers off in the night.It is peaceful.For about three seconds.Then, the door bursts open.BANG.It hits the wall with a force that would make an assassin flinch. But it isn't an assassin.It is an invasion."Wake up!" a voice yells.Maria.She charges into the room. At thirteen, she is tall and lanky, but she still moves with the enthusiasm of a child who knows she owns the place. She is wearing her fencing

  • The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen   Chapter 240: The Final Night

    The bed is an island.It floats in the center of the master suite, a vast, white expanse of Egyptian cotton and down drifting in a sea of absolute shadows. The heavy velvet curtains are drawn tight against the glass walls, sealing us inside a capsule where time does not exist. There is no moon. There is no city grid glowing below us. There is no empire to rule, no enemies to slaughter, no ledgers to balance.Here, in the dark, the crowns are taken off. The guns are locked in the safe. The titles—Donna, King, Enforcer, Jester—are left at the door like muddy boots.There is only the weight of bodies and the rhythm of breath.I am lying in the middle.I am the axis upon which this world turns. I am the center of gravity that holds these three massive, dangerous planetary bodies in orbit.To my right lies Aureliano.He is the Anchor. He sleeps on his back, his profile cut from granite against the shadows. His arm is tucked under my head, a solid bar of bone and muscle that numbs my neck i

  • The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen   Chapter 239: The Twilight

    The master bathroom is a cavern of white marble and chrome, big enough to host a small cocktail party.Tonight, it is hosting a traffic jam.I stand at the double vanity. I have scrubbed the makeup from my face, stripping away the Donna’s war paint to reveal the skin underneath—clean, moisturized, and finally showing the faintest lines of laughter around the eyes.I am wearing a silk camisole and shorts. I am holding a toothbrush.I am not alone.My mirror reflection is crowded.To my right, Aureliano is flossing.He treats oral hygiene with the same intense, surgical precision he applies to corporate takeovers. He stands perfectly straight, shirtless, his suit trousers replaced by silk pajama bottoms. He winds the floss around his fingers, his grey eyes locked on his own reflection, ensuring not a single millimeter of enamel is neglected.To my left, Spadino is sitting on the counter.He shouldn't be on the counter. There is a velvet stool three feet away. But Spadino prefers high gr

  • The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen   Chapter 238: The Promise

    The staircase of the Vitale mansion is a spine of white marble that connects the underworld to the heavens.I stand at the bottom step.Behind me lies the office, the darkened room where I just signed the permits that will shape the skyline of Palermo for the next fifty years. The room where I wield the power of a state.Ahead of me lies the bedroom, the sanctuary where my husbands wait to strip me of that power and give me something sweeter in return.But for a moment, I am suspended in between.I place my hand on the banister. The stone is cool, smooth under my palm.I look down at my feet.I am wearing heels that cost two thousand euros. The leather is soft as butter. The soles are unscuffed.I remember another pair of shoes.Canvas sneakers. Worn through at the toe. Soaked with rain water and cemetery mud.I remember standing at my father’s grave, shivering in a coat that was two sizes too big, listening to Aureliano tell me that my life was over.“Get in. The meter starts now.”I

  • The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen   Chapter 237: The Donna

    The city of Palermo sleeps, but it sleeps with one eye open.I sit forty-two stories above the streets, behind the wall of tempered glass that separates the Vitale empire from the world it rules. The office is dark, save for the pool of amber light cast by the brass bankers lamp on my desk.It is 11:00 PM.Most people are in bed. My children are asleep, guarded by the best security system money and paranoia can buy. My husbands are waiting for me in the penthouse suite, likely debating which wine to open or whose turn it is to massage my feet.But I am here.I am finishing the day.I pick up the last document from the stack. It is a zoning permit for the new eco-resort on the southern coast. A mundane piece of bureaucracy that requires the signature of the Donna.I hold the Montblanc pen. It is heavy, balanced, warm from the heat of my hand.Years ago, a pen felt like a weapon I didn't know how to use. I signed my name with a trembling hand, terrified that the ink was binding me to a

    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 rhythm of the room is a metronome counting down the seconds of a life.Beep... beep... beep.It is the only sound in the world.I am sitting in a chair that has become an extension of my spine. I haven't moved in forty-eight hours. My muscles have atrophied, locking into a permanent hunch over

    The hospital smells of bleach and old pain.It is a specific, chemical scent that burns the inside of my nose, trying to mask the underlying odor of sickness and fear. But it can't mask the smell on me.I smell like copper. I smell like iron. I smell like Ciro.I am sitting on a plastic chair in th

    The silence of the crypt breaks.Not with a whisper. Not with a footstep.With a crash.The heavy wooden doors at the top of the stairs fly open, hitting the stone walls with a violence that shakes dust from the ceiling.Boom.The sound echoes in the small, enclosed space like a bomb going off. My
