Semua Bab Consumed By Vincenzo’s Vendetta: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Chapter 110 STACY ❦༺⚔༻❦ Vincenzo strolled so casually, like he had all the time in the world to deal with me and he wasn't going to stress about it right now, as though the room around us wasn't still thick with gunpowder and betrayal. When he reached where I stood, he didn't speak right away. Instead, his hand slid to my neck, pushing my hair to the side. His touch sent an involuntary shiver through me, equal parts unsettling and electrifying. Then he plucked the tiny Bluetooth from my ear, the one Clyde's goons had been whispering their sinister threats through, and held it up like it was a piece of garbage. "You no longer have to be afraid of the lunatic," he said quietly, his voice loud enough that Clyde could hear. But then his dark blue eyes flicked to mine, and his tone shifted. "But you should be afraid of what I'll do to you for leaving the way you did." It was a cold promise, delivered with the same gentleness he'd used to remove the earpiece, which somehow made it wors

Chapter 112 STACY ❦༺⚔༻❦ Four days. Four long, suffocating days since I last saw Vincenzo, days that had stretched on like weeks, each one heavier than the last. Four days since he stormed out of that room, leaving me with the weight of my own confession, my love for him, and his silence. I'd told him to kill me. And judging by the way he locked the door from the outside, maybe he was still considering it. It was the only explanation left standing. He didn't trust me anymore. He didn't want me anymore. That night, I'd noticed it, and seen it in his eyes. The memory of the way he used to look at me, like I was a puzzle he couldn't resist solving, had been replaced with cold, empty indifference. If anything, the only emotion in those deep blue eyes was pity, pity for the poor pathetic idiot I'd become. And yet, it wasn't the thought of dying that made my chest ache. No, death would be a mercy. It was the thought of losing him, the man he'd been before I'd ruined everything. The man

Chapter 114 STACY ❦༺⚔༻❦ I'd never felt smaller, yet somehow, every slight gaze in this room made me feel impossibly large, like a specimen pinned under glass for everyone to examine and judge. "Vincenzo, you brought her here. What's your plan?" The question made my stomach twist, sharp and sudden, like the floor had shifted beneath the chair. Everyone at the table had gone into the kitchen for dessert, leaving just me, Vincenzo and Russel at the table. They were discussing business just minutes ago, and now, they were discussing me. I sank further into my chair, wishing I could disappear, but I kept my eyes down and my ears open, cataloging every word like it might save my life later, because for all I knew, it might. No weakness, no surrender. My father had taught me that much, even if everything else he taught me dug the shitpit I was currently swimming in. It was almost funny, in a bitter sort of way, how the one lesson that had actually stuck with me was the only thing keepi

EPILOGUE Three Months Later ❦༺⚔༻❦ One moment I was alone in the study, going over the endless list of things Vincenzo thought we should do before the wedding, and the next, someone was there, like a ghost from another world, watching me. I should've known better than to expect peace. Between being a human and being a ghost, I was pretty sure Dante enjoyed the latter. He stood in the corner of the study now, his broad frame cloaked in silence, watching me with the calm intensity that made me want to cry out for Vincenzo. "Seriously?" I hissed, slamming the ledger I was reviewing shut. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" "Knocking is overrated," he said smoothly, readjusting his position. "Dante…" I glanced at the door, my pulse picking up. Vincenzo was in the house, and while he wasn't one to hover, he had a sixth sense for trouble. "You can't keep doing this." His lips curled into a faint smirk. "Doing what?" "Sneaking in here like some kind of ghost," I snapped, keep

Hey everyone, A huge thank you for sticking with me through this incredible journey! Writing this romance has been such a rewarding experience, and I truly hope it’s been as thrilling for you to read as it was for me to create. At a point, I felt like giving up, but the passion and you guys kept me going, I’m grateful. There’s been love, suspense, and plenty of drama to keep things interesting, and I loved every moment of putting it all together. This book started as a small idea with Russel and Allesia, then grew into these amazing characters that I hope to keep exploring with you all.
