Chapter 112 – Ashes of Her Throne

last update Last Updated: 2025-05-30 15:08:20

The world didn’t end with a bang. It ended with silence.

Lucrezia had been dragged away, unconscious and powerless for the first time in decades. The gala was over, and the ballroom had emptied. Rumors spread like fire, senators whispering behind gold masks, alliances shifting in shadows.

But inside Valerio’s penthouse, the storm had only just begun.

Sera paced the living room barefoot, the hem of her crimson gown still darkened where Lucrezia’s blood had splattered. The silence was thick between them, not hostile, but tense—loaded with everything unspoken.

Valerio stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows, shirt undone, tie hanging loose around his neck. His jaw clenched as he stared out at the city. Eros looked smaller tonight, subdued under the weight of everything they’d done.

“She’ll come back,” Sera said finally, voice soft.

He didn’t turn around. “Not tonight.”

“Valerio.”

He breathed in. “I know.”

She crossed the space between them and stopped beside him. “Then say it.”

He looked d

  • Velvet Chains   Chapter 114 – A Queen’s Blood, A King’s War

    The darkness didn’t scare Sera anymore.Not the shadows that clung to the corners of the penthouse, not the silence of the hallways, and certainly not the monsters who prowled beneath the glimmering surface of Eros City.She’d tasted the worst kind of pain.And she’d survived.No, what scared her now wasn’t the war—it was how ready she felt for it.At 3:47 a.m., she sat at Valerio’s desk, the glow of the computer screen casting harsh light across her face. The file they’d received—Project Orias—had led her into a rabbit hole of horrors. Names. Faces. Girls her age, some even younger. Shipments disguised as “imports.” Wealthy buyers with encrypted aliases.And it was all tied back to one woman.Lucrezia Thorne.But this wasn’t just about revenge anymore.It was about justice.About ending what others hadn’t had the courage to finish.Behind her, Valerio’s footsteps approached, bare and quiet across the marble floor. He was shirtless, a pair of loose black sweatpants hanging low on his

  • Velvet Chains   Chapter 113 – The Calm Bleeds First

    The penthouse no longer smelled like blood.That alone should’ve comforted Sera, but it didn’t.Instead, the silence left room for something else—doubt, questions, and an eerie sense of waiting. Like the city held its breath.Valerio had barely left her side in the three days since Lucrezia’s capture. The world outside continued shifting like tectonic plates. Allies whispered in backrooms. Enemies regrouped in shadows.And Sera?She was learning how to be powerful.Not because of Valerio.But beside him.At 9:00 a.m., she stood in front of a sleek black wardrobe in one of the guest bedrooms—now her official dressing room. Her fingers trailed over the fabric of a fitted navy-blue pantsuit. It wasn’t her usual style. No silk, no flowing lines.This was steel.Tailored.Untouchable.She slipped it on and pulled her hair back into a high, tight ponytail. The woman who stared back in the mirror wasn’t just someone who survived hell.She was someone who would rule the aftermath.When she st

  • Velvet Chains   Chapter 111 – The Devil Wears Diamonds

    The gala hummed with opulence. Glittering chandeliers cast fractured light on polished marble, a thousand diamonds glittered on a thousand throats, and laughter spilled from lips that knew too much about blood but never spoke of it.Valerio didn’t smile. His hand remained on the small of Sera’s back, a silent command and a possessive claim all at once. They moved like predators in silk—flawless, dangerous, and impossible to ignore.Sera’s heels clicked against the floor, her crimson gown a siren’s call. Men looked; women glared. But no one dared speak.She belonged to the most feared man in Eros City now.And Lucrezia finally noticed.The older woman’s cold blue eyes lifted from her champagne flute and froze mid-sip. She didn’t betray shock, but her fingers twitched slightly, betraying the misfire in her heart. She straightened slowly and whispered something to the senator at her side before stepping away from the crowd.Valerio smirked. “Hook set.”Sera didn’t blink. “Now we reel her

  • Velvet Chains   Chapter 110 – His Possession, Her Fire

    The storm that had hung over Eros City for days finally broke just past midnight.Lightning cracked through the sky as rain battered the windows of Valerio’s penthouse—an echo of the chaos inside him. He stood by the window, bare-chested, blood from a recent fight dried along his ribs and shoulder. The tension of the last few days clung to him like smoke, refusing to lift.Behind him, Sera emerged from the bedroom in nothing but one of his white shirts, oversized on her frame. Her legs were bare, the curve of her hip catching the dim light. Her hair was damp from a shower, falling down her back in inky waves, and she was the only thing in the world that looked untouched by the violence that haunted him.But he knew better.“You’re bleeding again,” she said softly, walking up behind him. She placed her hand on his side, brushing a fingertip along the reopened cut.“I’ve had worse.”“That doesn’t mean you have to get worse.”He turned slowly, his jaw tight. “This isn’t over, Sera. Dario

  • Velvet Chains   Chapter 109 – Smoke and Silk

    The early morning mist hung low over the Ravello estate, casting a silver haze over the grounds like a breath held in suspense. Guards moved through the fog like ghosts, quiet, alert. Inside, the mansion pulsed with tension—the kind that coils in the bones, waiting to snap.Sera stood in the atrium, her phone pressed to her ear. Her voice was low, steady.“We need you.”The person on the other end gave a low, familiar chuckle. “Didn’t think you’d call, sweetheart. Thought your new king had it all under control.”“This isn’t about ego,” she said. “It’s about war.”A beat of silence. Then: “We’ll be there by nightfall.”She ended the call and exhaled slowly. Behind her, Valerio entered, his eyes immediately locking onto hers. He hadn’t slept. Neither of them had. But he didn’t need words to ask what she’d done.“The twins?”She nodded.He closed the distance between them in two strides, cupping her jaw. “This is dangerous.”“So is everything we’ve done.”His fingers traced the edge of h
