The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 169: The Nanny War
The living room of the Vitale mansion has hosted war councils, execution orders, and political negotiations.Today, it is hosting job interviews.And truthfully, the body count was lower during the war.I sit in the center of the beige velvet sofa. I am wearing a black silk blouse and trousers that hide the lingering softness of my stomach. My hair is pulled back. I look like the Donna.But my hands are shaking.It is the caffeine withdrawal. Or maybe the sleep deprivation. Or maybe the sheer, unadulterated rage I am currently feeling toward the three men standing behind me.My wolves. My walls. My headache.They are arranged like a praetorian guard.Aureliano leans against the fireplace mantle, arms crossed, staring at the empty chair in front of us with the intensity of a laser sight. Ciro stands by the window, blocking the light, his massive frame casting a long, intimidating shadow. Spadino is perched on the arm of the sofa next to me, cleaning a knife."Put the knife away," I his
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 168: The Fourth Trimester
Power is a currency I understand. Violence is a language I speak fluently.But sleep deprivation?Sleep deprivation is a torture technique the CIA should study. It breaks you down faster than waterboarding. It strips away your defenses, your logic, and your dignity until you are nothing but a raw nerve ending crying over a spilled bottle of formula.Maria is three weeks old.She is a tyrant. A dictator. A tiny, screaming warlord who rules the Vitale empire with an iron fist wrapped in a cashmere blanket.She does not sleep. She naps. She dozes. She waits until the exact moment my eyelids flutter shut, and then she unleashes a wail that pierces through three layers of drywall.The sun is barely up. The light filtering through the hallway windows is grey and weak, matching the color of my complexion.I am walking the corridor. My feet drag on the marble. I am wearing a silk robe that is stained with spit-up on the shoulder.Behind me, the cavalcade of the damned follows.Aureliano walks
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 167: The DNA Question (Again)
But she must be the last.The sentence hangs in the air, heavier than the velvet curtains, heavier than the stone walls of the mansion.I look down at Maria.She is sleeping, her tiny fist curled against my chest. She is a miracle. A singularity. The beginning and the end of a lineage that almost didn't happen.I feel a pang of grief, sharp and cold, for the children I will never have. The brothers and sisters she will never know.But then I feel the weight of the hands touching me.Aureliano’s palm on my shoulder. Ciro’s grip on the bed rail. Spadino’s fingers brushing the baby’s blanket.They aren't pulling away. They aren't looking at me with pity or disappointment. They are looking at me with a fierce, terrifying gratitude. I gave them one. I gave them a Queen."One is enough," Ciro rumbles, his voice breaking the silence. "If she is like her mother, one is more than the world can handle."Aureliano leans down. He kisses my temple, a hard, lingering press of his lips that brands m
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 166: Maria
The sun has fully risen now.It streams through the gaps in the heavy velvet curtains, cutting through the sterile gloom of the medical suite in dusty, golden shafts. It illuminates the floating dust motes, turning the air into something tangible, something holy.I am propped up against a mountain of pillows. My body feels wrecked—a hollowed-out vessel that has been split open and stitched back together. My muscles tremble with a fine, constant vibration of exhaustion.But my arms are steady.I hold her.She is wrapped in a fresh white blanket, cleaned of the blood and the vernix. She is sleeping now, her tiny chest rising and falling in a rhythm that seems to dictate the pulse of the entire room.My wolves surround the bed. They haven't moved. They haven't slept.Aureliano is kneeling beside me, his head resting on the mattress near my hip. He looks shattered. The armor of the King has been stripped away, leaving only the man who watched the woman he loves scream in agony.Ciro stand
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 165: The Arrival
The cry shatters the silence like a hammer striking glass.It isn't a whimper. It isn't a tentative cough or a sputtering gasp for air. It is a roar.High, clear, and vibrating with indignation, the sound rips through the sterile air of the medical suite, bouncing off the monitors and the walls, announcing to the world that a new Vitale has arrived and is already demanding tribute.The sound is electric. It cuts through the thick, grey haze of my exhaustion, sharpening the blurry edges of the room into high-definition focus. My heart, which has been hammering a frantic, terrified rhythm against my ribs for hours, suddenly stutters and resets."She's out," Dr. Rossi breathes. His voice is thick, heavy with the kind of relief that only comes after holding a life in the balance.He lifts the baby.She is held high against the harsh light of the surgical lamps. She is slick with white vernix and streaks of bright red blood, her skin a mottled purple that is already flushing into a deep, a
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 164: The Ring of Fire
There is no room for dignity in a delivery room. There is only survival.My body is no longer my own. It is a battlefield. It is being ripped apart from the inside out by a force that feels less like a child and more like a tectonic shift.I am screaming.The sound rips out of my throat, raw and animalistic. It echoes off the sterile walls of the medical suite, a terrifying noise that silences even Spadino."Again!" Dr. Rossi shouts. "Push past the burn, Graziella! You have to push!""I can't!" I gasp, falling back against the pillows, sweat stinging my eyes. "It’s splitting me open! It’s fire!""It is fire," Rossi says grimly. "It's the ring of fire. The head is crowning. If you stop now, the pressure will tear you. You have to push through it."I look at Aureliano.He is kneeling beside the bed, gripping my left hand. His face is a mask of pure, unadulterated terror. The King of Palermo, the man who orders executions without blinking, looks like he is about to vomit."Do it," Aureli
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 39: The Last Supper
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

The house is screaming.Downstairs, in the main drawing room, the Dowager is tearing her sons apart. I can hear her voice echoing up the grand staircase—a shrill, terrifying sound that cuts through the stone walls like a diamond drill."You have let this house rot!" she shrieks. "Discipline is dead

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
