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
Velvet Chains Chapter 108 – The Queen’s Gambit
The ballroom of the Ravello estate had never witnessed such quiet tension. The air shimmered with anticipation, velvet curtains drawn to trap the secrets inside, and candlelight casting gold and shadow on polished marble. Sera stood at the center of it all—no longer the girl who’d once hidden behind Valerio’s shadow, but a woman cloaked in authority, vengeance, and dangerously earned poise.She wore crimson tonight, the deep red silk hugging her curves, cinched at the waist with a golden chain that shimmered like blood and fire. The neckline dipped low, daring any man to speak to her as anything less than sovereign. And they didn’t. The new alliances Valerio had secured stood in wary circles, hushed and respectful, while the old families whispered from their corners, waiting for the fault lines to crack.But she wouldn’t break. Not tonight.Valerio’s voice cut through the hum of conversation, dark and commanding. “Lucrezia’s men have been spotted near the eastern district. She’s not h
Velvet Chains Chapter 107 – Bloodlines and Boundaries
The sun broke through the horizon like a whispered promise. Eros was waking up, unaware that its underworld had shifted. The queen had fallen. The king remained. But beside him now stood a woman crowned in ash and blood.Sera sat at the wide window in Valerio's bedroom, wrapped in his silk robe, her damp hair coiled into a loose bun. Below the balcony, the garden was quiet, save for the sound of fountains and morning doves. Her fingers traced the edge of the teacup on the sill, but her thoughts were far away.Last night, she killed Lucrezia. Not just to end the threat, but to end the nightmare. There was power in that. But there was also a sharp ache behind her ribs, an echo of the girl she used to be. The one who flinched at shadows and held her breath around men. That girl had died, too, somewhere in the chaos.Valerio approached her from behind, his bare chest warm as he pressed against her back. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed the curve of her neck. "You didn’t sle
Velvet Chains Chapter 106 – The Queen’s Gambit
The villa was eerily quiet when Sera awoke.The sheets still smelled of Valerio—cigars, bourbon, and sin—but his side of the bed was cold. She stretched, the ache between her thighs a delicious reminder of last night’s tangled passion, then reached for her robe.Outside, the sun was rising in golden streaks across the sea. But she wasn’t fooled by the beauty. Beneath that calm shimmer, war was brewing.Downstairs, she found Valerio already suited up, standing in front of the wide glass window with a phone pressed to his ear and tension bracketing his shoulders.“No,” he barked. “If Dario so much as hesitates, I want him removed. We’re too deep for second guesses.”He hung up and turned, his eyes darkening when he saw her.“You should be sleeping.”She approached slowly, wrapping her arms around his waist from behind. “You left a warm bed. I got lonely.”“I didn’t want to wake you. Things are... escalating.”“Then let’s escalate harder.”He turned in her arms, eyes flickering over her
