The sun rose with a cruel kind of calm.

Golden light spilled through the hotel windows like it didn’t know, or didn’t care, that the two men inside had shattered each other the night before.

They didn’t talk.

Not even as Luca zipped up his suitcase.

Not when he changed into his tailored slacks and pressed white shirt, his silence as sharp as the creases in his cuffs.

Not when he stood by the door, hand on the knob, heart in his throat.

Asher sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the floor. Shirtless. Bruised by nothing physical, but he looked like a man wrecked all the same.

Luca opened his mouth, closed it.

Then he walked out.

No goodbye.

No parting words.

Just the soft click of the door as it latched behind him.

Asher didn’t move for a long time. He couldn’t.

Every breath felt like dragging glass through his lungs.

He waited, part of him still foolish enough to believe Luca would come back. That maybe he’d forgotten something. That maybe he’d changed his mind.

But the silence stret

  • The Wrong Kind Of Right   Chapter 144

    The sound of the lock clicking shut behind him was too soft to match the weight it carried.Paolo Virelli stepped fully into the dimly lit cabin, the old wooden floor creaking faintly beneath his polished shoes.The scent of coffee still lingered faintly in the air, bitter and burnt, but there was another smell too, sharper, something like sweat and adrenaline. Fear. Or maybe guilt. Maybe both.The living room was sparsely furnished, a worn leather chair, an ashtray with a single, untouched cigarette, a desk with a closed laptop and scattered papers. It was clear Reid hadn’t expected anyone. He stood motionless by the far window, only half turned, as though the presence behind him hadn’t fully registered.Until it did.Reid slowly turned.And saw Paolo.His brows lifted, disbelief crashing into his features first. Then confusion. Then recognition, not just of the man, but of what his presence meant.“...What are you doing here?” Reid asked, voice low, measured, but the slight quiver b

  • The Wrong Kind Of Right   Chapter 143

    The sound of the door slamming behind him still rang in his ears.But it wasn’t loud enough to drown out the ache building in his chest.Luca didn’t know where he was going. He just knew he had to get out. Away. Somewhere. Anywhere that didn’t feel like a graveyard of everything he thought he’d rebuilt.His car keys were already in his hand by the time he reached the driveway. The engine roared to life, but he didn’t turn on the music. Didn’t call anyone. Didn’t even wipe the tear that slipped down his cheek.The road blurred around him, city lights bleeding into streaks of color.He couldn’t breathe.The fight replayed over and over in his head, Asher’s doubt, his guarded voice, the hesitation when Luca had asked him “Who do you trust more?”He had begged for something simple. Not even proof. Just belief.And Asher hadn’t given it.Not fully.Not enough.After everything.The steering wheel trembled under his grip.He pulled into the first empty lot he could find and turned off the e

    Luca took two shaky steps back.His chest rose and fell like a man trying to breathe after being hit in the ribs.“I’ve known Reid longer.”The words echoed in his mind. Again. And again. Until they drowned out every beat of his heart.He let out a dry, breathless laugh. “Wow.”Asher’s expression softened with immediate regret. “Luca...”“Don’t.” Luca held up a hand, palm trembling. “Don’t say my name like that. Like I’m the one who’s being irrational.”“I didn’t mean it the way it came out.”“But that’s the thing,” Luca said, voice low, eyes glinting. “You did. You said it without thinking, which means that’s how you really feel.”“Luca, this isn’t about choosing sides...”“Isn’t it?” Luca cut in. “Because it feels a hell of a lot like it is. And you didn’t choose me.”Asher took a step forward. “I’m trying to protect us.”“No, you’re protecting him,” Luca snapped. “A man who once left you bleeding in the dirt. A man who had months, years, to come clean. But the moment my father is f

    Two hours later, the Virelli town car moved off the paved roads and onto gravel. Paolo drove himself. The night was heavy with silence, the kind that swallowed sound and scattered stars across the sky like shattered glass.He drove without GPS. He didn’t need it. The location had been burned into his mind the moment he saw it.An abandoned service cabin in the foothills, just outside a forest preserve. Quiet. Isolated. Forgettable.Perfect for cowards to hide.He parked a few hundred meters out, careful not to let the engine lights cast onto the house. His polished shoes sank slightly into the dirt as he stepped out, coat flapping against the wind.There were no signs of life.No light inside.No dogs. No alarms.Just one narrow window flickering faintly with the glow of a single lamp.He moved closer.One foot after another.The Paolo Virelli of boardrooms and media cameras dissolved under the weight of night. What remained was something older, more primal, a man raised in shadows, s

  • The Wrong Kind Of Right   Chapter 140

    The lamp beside the armchair flickered once, then steadied.Outside the small cabin Reid had chosen as his hideout, the wind howled faintly through the trees, the kind of wind that didn't scream, but whispered.He sat slumped on a threadbare couch, staring at his phone screen without really seeing it. His hands, once steady in the field, once sure behind a rifle, now trembled slightly as he held the device.He hadn’t slept.He kept hearing the sound of Asher’s laugh. Kept seeing the way he leaned in to whisper something into Luca’s ear. The way he used to whisper to him, back when things were simple and they were both just stupid boys in uniform.That was long gone now.And Reid hated himself for still hoping.The screen lit up.Incoming call: D.C.He hesitated. A chill passed through him.He hadn’t saved the name. He didn’t need to.Dominic Caldera had a way of reaching people even when you thought you’d disappeared.He let it ring once… twice…Then answered.“Reid,” came the voice

  • The Wrong Kind Of Right   Chapter 139

    Paolo stood, slow and deliberate, walking to the wide window overlooking the estate gardens.Outside, birds fluttered across the hedges. Guards shifted at their posts. From a distance, everything looked peaceful.But this wasn’t peace. It was a war that had crawled its way inside the family name. Into their legacy.Into his son’s life.A son he still didn’t understand… but one he would not allow to be destroyed.Not like this.His lips parted as if to say something aloud, a name, maybe a curse, but no sound came out. Instead, he walked back to his desk, opened the drawer, and carefully folded the document again, sliding it beneath a hidden compartment.He didn’t speak.He didn’t make a call.He didn’t warn anyone.Because now, he needed to know why.What did Reid want?And what else had the boy touched?As Paolo leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers in thought, the storm that had been slowly brewing in his chest hardened into something colder.It was no longer about Luca bei
