The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 175: The Bait
The sun in the park is bright, cheerful, and completely indifferent to the violence about to unfold beneath it.It is a beautiful Sunday morning in Palermo. The air smells of cut grass, blooming oleander, and the distant, salty tang of the sea. Birds are singing. Somewhere in the distance, a child laughs—a pure, unburdened sound that makes my chest ache.I am walking down the gravel path of the Parco della Favorita. I am wearing a cream-colored linen dress that floats around my legs, oversized sunglasses, and flat sandals. I look like a mother enjoying a stroll. I look soft. I look distracted.I am pushing a vintage Silver Cross pram. It is navy blue, heavy, and built like a tank.Inside, under the crisp white blanket, there is no baby.There is a twenty-pound bag of sand shaped like an infant. There is a Kel-Tec submachine gun. And there is a small, remote-detonated flashbang.Maria is safe. She is five miles away, locked in the Fortress Suite with Elena and four armed guards.But th
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 174: The Ghost of the Past
The photograph on the table is grainy, taken with a long-range lens through a rainy windshield.It shows a man getting into a Fiat in a dirty alley in Naples. He is young, maybe twenty-five. He has the dark, heavy brow of the Grecos and the desperate, hollow cheeks of a man who has lost his kingdom."Alessandro Greco," Ciro rumbles.He stands behind my chair, his presence a heavy, heated wall shielding my back. His hand rests on my shoulder, his thumb digging into the muscle near my neck, a constant, grounding pressure. He is tense. I can feel the vibration of his rage traveling through his arm into my body."The youngest cousin," Aureliano adds. He is pacing the length of the War Room, a glass of water in his hand that looks like it’s about to shatter under his grip. "We thought he fled to Argentina.""He came back," Spadino says from the corner. He is spinning a coin on the metal filing cabinet. Whirrr. Slap. Whirrr. Slap. "And he brought friends."I stare at the photo.Alessandro G
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 173: The Balancing Act
The Donna’s chair has changed.It is still the high-backed, velvet-upholstered throne of power in Aureliano’s office. But now, it is draped in a burp cloth. And beside the crystal decanter of whiskey sits a bottle warmer.I sit at the desk. I am wearing a black silk blouse, unbuttoned at the top for access, and sharp trousers. My hair is pulled back in a severe chignon, the uniform of command.But in my arms, I hold the anomaly.Maria is awake. She is latched onto my breast, nursing with a fierce, rhythmic intensity that matches the pounding of the rain against the window. She is three months old, and already she has the Vitale glare down perfectly.Across the desk, Luca the accountant is sweating."The quarterly projections for the construction firm are... optimistic," Luca says, trying desperately not to look at my chest. He stares fixedly at a spot on the wall above my head. "The new contracts with the city council have been ratified.""Optimistic isn't a number, Luca," I say.I sh
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 172: The Re-Entry
The frantic energy of the car ride evaporates the moment the heavy oak door of the master suite clicks shut.Downstairs, the house is alive with the low hum of the night shift—guards changing posts, the faint murmur of the television in the staff quarters. But in here, the silence is thick and waiting.I stand in the center of the room. My heart is beating a heavy, deliberate rhythm against my ribs.Aureliano and Ciro did not follow us inside.They stopped at the threshold. Aureliano kissed my forehead—a benediction—and Ciro squeezed my shoulder, his dark eyes promising that the perimeter, and the baby, were secure. They stepped back. They gave us the room.They knew.They saw the way Spadino looked at me in the car. They saw the way I leaned into his touch. They understood that the bridge back to my own body had to be crossed with the man who worshiped the ruins.Spadino stands by the door.He isn't moving. He isn't bouncing on his heels or spinning a knife. The chaotic energy that u
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 171: The Clearance
The doctor’s office smells of rubbing alcohol and expensive perfume. It is a discreet clinic in the city center, the kind where politicians’ mistresses go for “vitamin drips.”I sit on the paper-covered exam table. My legs dangle.Dr. Rossi sits on his stool, scribbling in my file. He looks tired. Delivering the Vitale heir has aged him five years in six weeks."Physically," Rossi says, snapping the chart shut, "you are fully recovered. The tearing has healed. The uterus has returned to normal size. Your blood pressure is stable."He looks up at me over his glasses."You are cleared for normal activity."Normal activity.The words hang in the air, heavy with implication.For six weeks, "normal activity" has been feeding schedules, diaper changes, and napping when the tyrant allows it.But Rossi isn't talking about naps.He is talking about the thing that has been simmering under the surface of the mansion since the birth. The thing that my wolves have been dutifully ignoring, suppress
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 170: The Body After
The mirror in the master bathroom is a traitor.For months, it showed me a vessel. It showed me the tight, high curve of the heir, the glow of the pregnancy, the purpose. I looked at my reflection and saw a fortress protecting a king.Now, the mirror just shows the ruins.I lock the door. It’s a futile gesture in a house where the owners can pick any lock in three seconds, but I need the illusion of privacy.I drop my silk robe to the floor. It pools around my ankles, a puddle of expensive fabric that feels too nice for the body standing above it.I look at myself.The stomach that was hard and round is now soft. It hangs slightly, empty and deflated, like a balloon the day after a party.But it’s the lines that stop my breath.Silver and angry red streaks map the curve of my hips and the underside of my belly. Stretch marks. The skin tore to make room for Maria, and it didn't snap back.I trace one with my finger. It feels textured. Broken."Ruined," I whisper to the glass.I turn to
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 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
