Vows written in blood Chapter Fifteen: The open window
“Get her cleaned up before the boss comes or do you prefer to die.”The two men stood there for a moment longer. The first guy shifted on his feet, glancing at me before looking back at the second man.“She was like this when I brought her in,” he said quickly. “Tried to crawl away out of the straps. Fought hard even after the shot I gave her, that’s why she looks messed up. Not my fault.”The second man stared at him, face tight. “No excuses. Just do the correction.”They both turned and left the room, the door clicking shut behind them.I stayed slumped in the chair for what felt like long minutes, breathing in and out, trying to gather whatever strength the latest injection had left me. The ropes weren’t on me yet, but my limbs still wouldn’t obey properly, but I could hear footsteps moving around outside the room.The door opened again. The first man returned with a woman beside him. She looked tired, wearing plain clothes, she kept her eyes down, hands clasped together.He walked
Vows written in blood Chapter fourteen: Washed in chains
“You’ll get your answers when the boss is ready.” The shadowy man reached deeper into the van. His hands worked on the straps holding me down. The second the last one clicked open, my body slid forward and dropped onto the cold metal floor with a heavy thud. Pain flared hot through my bandaged arm. I gasped and tried to push myself up.He leaned down to pick me up. I twisted hard, shoving at his chest with my good hand. “Don’t. Get your hands off me.”He grabbed my shoulders anyway. “Why are you resisting so much? It’s a good thing you did. Makes everything a liitle bit more interesting.”I kept fighting, kicking weakly with my legs even though they felt like lead. “Interesting for you maybe. Let go. I don’t want this, whatever you’re planning, I don’t want any part of it.”He held on tighter, trying to lift me. “Come on, don’t stop making this difficult. You’re only hurting yourself more.”I pushed against him again, turning my body away as much as
Vows written in blood Chapter Thirteen: Into the boss hands
“Seraphina!”I jolted awake, eyes flying open as the bright hospital lights blurred above me. Hands gripped the sides of my bed, wheeling it fast down a hallway. The wheels squeaked against the marbled floor. “Wait, what is happening, where are you taking me?”“Easy, miss,” one of the orderlies said, a burly guy in scrubs pushing from the head of the bed. “Doctor’s orders. We need to get you to a more secure area. You’ve been stabilized, but things got complicated.”I tried to sit up, but my body felt heavy, arms like lead. “Complicated, what are you talking about?”I paused to catch my breath, “Tomas, Where is Tomas? He brought me here. Tell him to come talk to me right now.”The second orderly, a woman with a tight ponytail, glanced down at me while keeping pace. “Your guardian already handled the paperwork. Said it wasn’t safe for you to stay, so we’re moving you out quietly. The van is waiting at the side entrance. Best not to make a scene.”“What guardian?” I twisted my head, but
Vows written in blood Chapter Twelve: Mother’s last breath
“Don’t die on me.”The words slipped out of my mouth again, raw and desperate, just like they had back then. The hospital room faded around me, the beeps and sterile smell pulling me deeper into the memory I could never escape. My hands were covered in blood, sticky and warm, soaking through my clothes from where I had held her after the attack. I had pressed my head against the cold glass of the observation window, staring into the operating room where surgeons moved like ghosts under harsh lights.“Mom, please,” I whispered, my forehead against the transparent barrier. “You can’t leave us like this. Not after everything.”My father stood beside me silent, his broad shoulders rigid, fists clenched at his sides. Marco DeLorenzo looked nothing like the powerful man who ran his empire with iron fists. Right then, he looked broken, eyes fixed on the table where my mother lay surrounded by machines and doctors fighting to save her.“Seraphina, step back from the glass,” he said, voice lo
Vows written in blood Chapter Eleven: Unwanted Salvation
“You would have to pull the bullet out.”Tomas gripped the steering wheel tighter, the car still rolling through the rain-slicked streets. “Miss Seraphina, that is not happening, I am not some back-alley doctor. You need real help, proper equipment, and someone who knows what they are doing.”I shifted in the seat, pressing my good hand harder against the wound as fresh blood seeped through my fingers. “Tomas. I mean it. Pull over somewhere quiet and just do it. You’ve seen worse on the job. Get some whiskey, a knife, whatever, I can handle the pain.”He shook his head, eyes fixed on the road but voice firm. “Look at you, you are bleeding too much already. If I try that here in the car, you could bleed out before I even find the damn bullet. Your father would kill me twice over if something happens to you. We are going to the hospital.”I sat up straighter, ignoring the way the world tilted a little. “My father cannot know about this. Not yet. If we walk into any emergency room, the p
Vows written in blood Chapter Ten: A Bullet's Price
“Luciano,” I gasped.The figure straightened up from the waitress, glass crunching under his boots. But the voice that cut through the chaos wasn’t the low growl I expected. “Miss Seraphina, are you alright? Talk to me!”It was Tomas. Heat rushed to my face as I slumped against the booth, embarrassed that my brain had jumped straight to him. My arm burned like fire where the bullet had torn through, blood soaking my sleeve and dripping onto the floor tiles.“It’s just my arm,” I said through gritted teeth, pressing my other hand harder against the wound. “It hit my arm. Just shoot her, Tomas.”Tomas spun toward the counter, gun raised, but the waitress was already moving. She scrambled up fast and bolted through the door at the back of the café, slamming it shut behind her with a loud bang. Footsteps faded quick on the other side.“Chase her!” I shouted, trying to push myself up but my legs felt shaky from the pain. “Go after her, Tomas. She knows everything, all of it. We can questi

“Someone, please help!” I shouted.I looked up at the waitress, my hands still gripping Victor’s shoulder as foam kept leaking from his mouth onto the table. “Call an ambulance right now. He’s not breathing right. Please, hurry up. He needs help fast.”The waitress stood behind the counter with h
Vows written in blood Chapter Eight: Running Out of Time
I gripped the encrypted phone tighter, my knuckles whitening. “Eight o’clock sharp. Come alone.” The line went dead before I could push for more details.“Damn it.” I shoved the phone into my jacket pocket and glanced at the clock on my nightstand. Seven-thirty. There was no time to waste. I slipp

“Good.” He stepped back. “Because the next time, I want you to admit you want it.” The charged silence that followed his words stretched between us like a live wire. I glared at him and the moment our eyes met I instantly looked away. The Geneva safehouse felt almost unnaturally still after the
Vows written in blood Chapter five: A dangerous rule
Luciano slammed his fist on the counter again. “How the hell did they get access to a live feed?”I stared at the blank laptop screen, my skin crawling. “They were watching us the whole time we were talking. Right now. Get the power off or something!”Gunshots erupted outside before he could answer
