The morning light pierced the Vault’s reinforced glass ceiling, filtering through in broken slats like judgment from above. But inside, there was only silence.

Sera stood alone in the strategy room, her fingers grazing the surface of the war table. The maps had been cleared, the files locked away. Yet the weight of what had happened at Echelon still clung to the air like ash.

The poison had nearly claimed her.

Lucrezia had nearly won.

And Valerio... he’d never left her side.

Not when she convulsed. Not when her pulse slowed. Not even when Bruna had screamed that they might be too late.

Now, every breath Sera took was a rebellion.

A vow.

She would finish this.

Not just for herself.

But for every soul Lucrezia had manipulated, ruined, or slaughtered in her twisted pursuit of power.

The door opened behind her, soft footsteps interrupting her reverie.

Valerio.

He said nothing as he approached—just stood beside her, his presence grounding her like gravity.

“How do you feel?” he asked quiet

  • Velvet Chains   Chapter 120 – The Rise Before the Storm

    The headlines had done half the work for them.“Children Used in Human Experimentation—Criminal Empire Exposed”“Interpol Investigates Lucrezia Vitale for War Crimes”“Unknown Operatives Leak Footage of Underground Labs”And though the footage was grainy, the image of a bloodied woman leading half-starved children out of a metallic hellhole had gone viral.Sera Vale had become something else.A myth.A ghost of vengeance.And yet, she was very real as she stood at the Vault’s command deck, fingers curled around the edge of the conference table, eyes rimmed with exhaustion but sharp as ever.“We’ve disrupted her funding channels,” Matteo said, pointing to a digital projection showing accounts being frozen across Europe and Asia. “The evidence was too damning. Even her most loyal shell donors are trying to cut ties.”“Interpol’s requesting a closed-door meeting with me,” Valerio added. “They want cooperation. They’re not sure if we’re allies or enemies.”Sera scoffed. “We’re both.”Cami

  • Velvet Chains   Chapter 119 – Smoke and Daggers

    The air in the Vault was tense—no longer from fear, but from anticipation. The kind that hums like electricity before a storm. Everyone moved with sharper purpose, conversations clipped, eyes more alert. Sera Vale had set fire to their fear, and now they were all moving to the beat of her vengeance.But vengeance alone wouldn’t win this war.Strategy would.Sera stood before the war table again, this time flanked not just by Valerio, but by Camila, Matteo, Bruna, and two newly arrived figures—Isolde Reyes and Kaito Ren, former operatives from a disbanded international spy ring who owed Sera a blood-debt.Lucrezia’s reach had gone global.So would their counterattack.The map displayed before them wasn’t just of Italy—it stretched across continents, dotted with red, blue, and black pins. Safehouses. Shell companies. Illegal tech labs. Black market ports.“We’re not dealing with the old underworld anymore,” Sera began, voice cool and clipped. “Lucrezia isn’t just resurrecting her empire

    The map spread across the war table glowed under the Vault’s fluorescent lights, detailing every known location Lucrezia controlled—directly or by proxy. Dozens of red pins stabbed across the city, marking illicit casinos, shipping yards, tech houses, and a cluster of luxury properties registered under aliases.“She’s not hiding,” Sera said, eyes fixed on the map. “She’s daring us.”Valerio stood behind her, arms crossed. “She wants us to go after the wrong thing. Every move she’s made recently—Zan, the heist, the garage attack—it’s sleight of hand. A magician’s misdirection.”“She’s trying to keep us busy,” Bruna muttered, typing furiously on a tablet. “While the real attack lines up.”Sera narrowed her eyes on a single pin. The Ritzmore District. Old money. Private parties. A black-tie casino club known as Echelon.“She’s hosting something there tomorrow night,” Sera said. “Bruna intercepted an encrypted invite, routed through offshore servers. Limited access, digital fingerprint re

    The takedown of Anya Romanov sent a ripple through the city’s underworld. Within twenty-four hours, two of Lucrezia’s minor allies backed out of their dealings. One fled the country. Another went silent. The press didn’t touch the footage—too dangerous, too damning—but on the encrypted forums of arms dealers and syndicate leaders, the video of Sera standing over Anya with a smoking gun had gone viral.And Lucrezia?She hadn’t spoken.She hadn’t moved.And that terrified Valerio more than anything.“She’s waiting,” Sera said, seated beside him at the Vault’s private briefing table. “She doesn’t strike in anger. She calculates. The quieter she gets, the bloodier her retaliation will be.”Valerio didn’t disagree.He sat back, rubbing his temple while Bruna updated the team.“The intel chatter has gone dark,” Bruna said. “Which means she’s rerouting everything. Our informants are frozen out. Lucrezia’s no longer just reacting. She’s preparing.”Matteo joined in. “We’ve got rumors she’s se

    The morning after the ambush, the penthouse was a fortress.Armed guards lined the hallways. Surveillance feeds played across six monitors in Valerio’s war room. Matteo stood at the center, issuing orders rapid-fire into his phone, while Bruna ran background checks on every known affiliate of Lucrezia Thorne.Sera sat in front of a map of Eros City, red pins marking the known smuggling routes, blue for intercepted trades, and a single black one—Lucrezia’s last known location.She stared at it, jaw tight, fingers curled around the edge of the table.“You know what she’s doing,” Valerio said from behind her.“She’s not running,” Sera replied. “She’s luring. That girl we rescued… she wasn’t the only bait.”“No,” Valerio agreed. “But she’s done hiding. The moment she left that girl behind, she made a mistake.”“She underestimated me,” Sera said coldly. “She still sees me as weak.”Valerio moved beside her, his presence grounding. “Then let’s prove her wrong.”He reached for the screen and
