The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 180: The Christening
The Cathedral of Palermo is a beast of stone and history. It rises from the city streets like a mountain, its Arab-Norman arches and Gothic towers casting long shadows over the souls of the faithful and the damned alike.Today, the doors are closed to the public.Today, the Cathedral belongs to the Vitales.The air inside is cool, heavy with the scent of frankincense and the centuries of prayers that have soaked into the sandstone walls. Light filters through the stained glass, painting the marble floor in pools of ruby, sapphire, and gold.The pews are full.Five hundred men and women sit in respectful silence. They are the captains, the lieutenants, the politicians, and the judges who make up the ecosystem of our power. They are wearing their best black suits, their wives dripping in diamonds that were likely paid for with blood money.They are not here for God. They are here for the heir.I stand at the altar.I am wearing white again—a structural silk suit that mimics the one I wo
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 179: The Feeding
The walk from the basement to the nursery is a vertical ascent from hell to heaven.I climb the stone steps, my heels clicking a sharp, steady rhythm. With each step, the air changes. It sheds the smell of copper, mold, and fear. It warms. It begins to smell of lemon polish, then of lavender, and finally, as I reach the upper corridor, of milk and powder.I stop at the top of the stairs.I go to the bathroom first.I lock the door. I turn on the tap, letting the water run hot until it steams. I pump the soap dispenser—lavender and chamomile, innocent scents.I scrub my hands.I scrub until my skin is red. I scrub under my fingernails, though I never touched the prisoner. I scrub up to my elbows, washing away the phantom sensation of the gun’s recoil and the smell of the damp basement air.I look in the mirror.My face is pale, but my eyes are clear. There is no madness in them. No regret. Just the flat, calm surface of a lake after a storm.I dry my hands on a fluffy white towel.Clea
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 178: The Mother’s Justice
The basement is a cold place to die.The prisoner knows it. I can smell the realization coming off him in waves—a sour, chemical stench of adrenaline converting into despair. He is kneeling on the concrete, his hands bound behind his back with plastic zip ties that cut into his wrists.My pistol is still aimed at his knee."Talk," I said.But he doesn't have intel. He doesn't have codes or safe house locations. He is the last rat on a sinking ship, and he knows the water is already over his head."I have nothing," he sobs, his body curling inward. "Sofia is dead. The cousins are dead. I'm just a driver. I have a family."He looks up at me. His eyes latch onto my stomach—flat now, but he remembers the stroller. He remembers the baby he came to steal.He sees an opening. A weakness."You're a mother," he pleads. His voice is wet, trembling. "You have a child. You know what it is to love something. Have mercy. Please. For your baby's sake, don't kill me."The words hang in the damp air.
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 177: The Hunt
The woods behind the park are deep, tangled with ancient roots and choked with undergrowth. They are a place to hide. A place to disappear.But nothing disappears from Ciro.I am back at the mansion, standing in the center of the kitchen. The stainless steel counters gleam under the harsh lights. The air smells of lemon polish and the lingering scent of the espresso Spadino made ten minutes ago.It is quiet. Domestic.But my mind is out there, in the dark, tracking the predator.We left the park an hour ago. Aureliano drove us back, his hand on my thigh the entire way, grounding me. Spadino is upstairs, guarding the nursery door with a shotgun, singing lullabies to Maria to wash the sound of gunfire out of his ears.Ciro did not come back with us.He stayed. He looked at the trail of blood leading into the trees, and he smiled—a terrifying, cold baring of teeth that promised a violence far more intimate than a bullet.“Go,” he had told us. “I’ll bring the last one home.”Now, I wait.
The Vitale Brothers Ruined Me, Then Made Me Their Queen Chapter 176: The Ambush
The recoil of the Kel-Tec travels up my arm, a sharp, violent jolt that rattles my teeth.It is a feeling of absolute power.The lead attacker, the man who was reaching for the empty stroller with hands meant to steal my life, stops dead. A red blossom explodes in the center of his chest. His eyes go wide, the ski mask stretching over a mouth opening in a silent scream.He drops. He hits the gravel path with a heavy, wet thud that vibrates through the soles of my sandals.The world fractures into chaos."Contact!" someone screams.The other three men freeze. They look at their fallen leader. They look at me—the mother in the cream linen dress holding a smoking submachine gun.They hesitate.That hesitation is their death sentence."Burn them," Aureliano’s voice growls in my ear, a dark command that triggers the detonator in my left hand.I press the button.The stroller explodes.It isn't a fragmentation grenade; we didn't want shrapnel flying toward me. It is a flashbang, rigged with
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

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
