The hallway is silent.

Aureliano is frozen on the stairs. He is holding the banister with one hand, his knuckles white. His other hand is pressed against his chest, as if he is trying to hold his heart inside his ribcage.

"You're pregnant," he said.

The words are still hanging in the air, heavy and absolute.

But his eyes aren't on my stomach anymore. They are on the diary lying open on the floor of the hallway behind me.

He walks up the last step. He moves like a man in a dream. Or a nightmare.

  • The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen   Chapter 138: The First Confession (Ciro)

    I choose Ciro first.Not because he is the easiest. Ciro is a monolith; moving him is like trying to shift a tectonic plate with bare hands.I choose him because he is the steadiest.If I am going to break myself open, I need to do it against a wall that will not crumble.I walk down the hallway to the third bedroom. The door is ajar.The room smells of him—cedar, gun oil, and the sharp, medicinal sting of iodine. It is sparse. A cot. A footlocker. A weapon rack. It is the room of a soldier who expects to be deployed at any second.He is in the small adjoining bathroom.He stands in front of the sink, shirtless. The fluorescent light hums above him, casting harsh shadows on the topography of his back—the ridges of muscle, the valleys of old scars.He is struggling.He is trying to tape a fresh piece of gauze over the bullet wound on his left shoulder. It is an awkward angle. His massive frame gets in the way, his good hand fumbling with the adhesive strips.He hisses a curse, low and

  • The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen   Chapter 137: The Admission (Internal)

    The door closes behind Spadino.The lock clicks.I slide down the wood until I hit the floor. My legs, usually so steady, refuse to hold me. I pull my knees to my chest, wrapping my arms around them, trying to hold the pieces of myself together.The silence returns to the room, but the air is still vibrating.I can still taste him.I touch my lower lip. It is swollen, throbbing from the violence of his kiss. I can taste the copper where he bit me, the citrus of the orange he ate, and the terrifying flavor of his devotion.You love us.The words echo in the small room, bouncing off the concrete walls.I close my eyes.I try to summon the denial. I try to summon the Ice Queen, the strategist, the survivor who sees people as assets and liabilities. I try to build the wall back up.But the mortar has turned to dust."I love them," I whisper into the dark.The confession is barely audible, but it feels massive. It feels like a dam breaking.I let my head fall back against the door. I breat

  • The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen   Chapter 136: The Accusation

    Truth is a blade. Usually, I am the one holding the hilt.Tonight, I am grabbing the edge.I am pressed against the cold concrete of the farmhouse hallway, pinned by the lean, wiry strength of Spadino Vitale. The air between us is scorched earth. It vibrates with the static of his anger and the frantic, hummingbird rhythm of my own panic."I can't," I whispered moments ago.Spadino doesn't accept the surrender. He treats it like a challenge.He leans in closer, invading the last inch of space I have left. His forearm bars my chest, holding me against the wall not with brute force, but with an unyielding, vibrating tension. He smells of citrus from the oranges, gun oil, and the sharp, metallic tang of adrenaline."You can't what?" he hisses, his face so close I can see the gold flecks in his irises swirling with fury. "You can't look at us? You can't touch us? You can't admit that the great Ice Queen finally melted?""I am tired, Spadino," I lie. My voice is thin, brittle. "I am managi

  • The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen   Chapter 135: The Withdrawal

    Love is not a gift. It is a liability.In the world I was sold into, affection is the crack in the armor where the knife slides in. It is the soft underbelly that gets gutted.I sit at the kitchen table, staring at the topographic map until the contour lines blur into a headache. I am building a wall. Brick by brick, silence by silence, I am reconstructing the fortress around my heart that I foolishly let crumble over a crate of peaches.The air in the farmhouse is heavy. It presses against my skin, charged with the static of three confused, angry men.They sense the shift. They are predators; they notice when the prey changes its scent."The Russo flank is exposed," Aureliano says.He is standing beside me, leaning over the table. His voice is cool, professional, but underneath the polish, there is a jagged edge of irritation."They need to tighten the perimeter," I reply, keeping my eyes fixed on the paper. "Tell the captain to move his unit west.""I did," Aureliano says. "He refus

  • The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen   Chapter 134: The Realization

    The farmhouse main room is a study in contrasts.It is a tableau of domesticity painted in the colors of violence.I sit in the corner, curled into the worn armchair, a wool blanket draped over my legs. A book lies open on my lap, but I haven't turned a page in twenty minutes.I am watching them.To my left, near the blackened fireplace, Aureliano is cleaning his weapons.He has dismantled his Glock and a Sig Sauer on a white towel. The parts are laid out with surgical precision. The smell of solvent is sharp, cutting through the damp mountain air.He works with a steady, rhythmic efficiency. His hands—large, elegant, lethal—move over the steel components with a familiarity that is both terrifying and mesmerizing. He isn't wearing a jacket. His sleeves are rolled up, exposing the hard cords of muscle in his forearms that flex every time he wipes a slide.He looks up.He catches me staring.He doesn't smile. He doesn't look away. His grey eyes lock onto mine across the room, dark and h

  • The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen   Chapter 133: The Conversation

    The afternoon light in the basement is artificial, a steady, unblinking hum of fluorescent tubes that mimic daylight but lack its warmth.I am lying on the worn leather couch in the command center. My eyes are closed, but I am not asleep.I am drifting in the grey space between exhaustion and alertness, listening to the rhythmic beep of the perimeter scanners and the low murmur of the cooling fans in the server rack. The peaches settled the tyrant in my stomach, leaving me heavy and sated, anchored to the cushions by the new weight of my body.The air shifts.It thickens, becoming charged with a familiar, heavy presence.I hear the scuff of a heavy boot on concrete. The scent of gun oil, cedar, and old sweat drifts over me—Ciro.He moves silently for a man of his size. The only betrayal of his presence is the way the atmosphere seems to bend around him, deferring to his mass.He stops beside the couch.I keep my breathing steady, deep and rhythmic. I don't want to talk strategy. I don

  • 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
