DELUCA “Nah, I sent them away,” she replied, as though it was a walk in the park. I exhaled slowly.“Are you okay?” I asked, squatting beside her. She looked at me—and in that moment, she surprised me by laughing. But her laughter quickly turned into soft sobs that broke my heart.“Why? Why did he leave all this for me to carry?” she asked, as tears trickled down her cheeks. I felt my eyes sting. I’d been in this situation once, but Lucas had been the one to help me through it. From what I could see, Elena had a friend who was there for her, yet she shouldered so much alone. She was being so vulnerable right now that my mind raced with ways to torture whoever had tried to have her killed.She was mine, and no one was allowed to harm a single hair on her head.It was time I began to accept that this woman had somehow woven herself into my life so deeply that I’d started to feel things for her—things she was completely oblivious to.“I know that look,” Lucas began, and I shook my head.

ELENA DeLuca wasn’t kidding when he gave that order at the hospital. Back at the mansion, ten sleek cars waited in formation, flanked by twenty bodyguards—armed to the teeth.Well, well, well.This meeting was going to be very different from the last, and this time, I had a feeling I’d actually enjoy it.I stepped out of the car and took in the sight. Pedestrians had stopped to stare at me and my entourage, their curiosity painting their faces. I basked in the attention.With a composed smile, I walked into the building, ten guards trailing behind me while the rest stayed back to watch the cars. We skipped the elevator and took the escalator straight up to the restricted floor where the meeting would take place.That’s where I met the Elders. As expected, Dante Morreti stood among them, laughing along with their smug little circle.Their amusement turned into shock the moment I stepped into the room, ten heavily armed men at my back.“Y-you’re alive?” one of them stammered.I smiled.

ELENAMy heart had pounded in my chest after I left that room just mere minutes ago. Now, I sat in the car seat, gazing out the window at my mansion.The car had stopped a while ago, but I had made no move to get out. No one questioned or hurried me, and for that, I was grateful."You have a way of making a statement, DeLuca," I began, the slightest hint of a smile tugging at my lips.He grunted. "What can I say? I don't like threats," he replied, a sharp edge to his tone.I smirked as the door was pulled open by the guy outside. I stepped out and began to walk away, but his voice stopped me."These men will stay here indefinitely. Not up for an argument," DeLuca said immediately, his glare locking on mine when I parted my lips to counter him.I slammed them shut, remembering—he had clearly stated in the contract that I wasn’t to challenge his orders in front of his subordinates. I could voice my disagreement privately, but never publicly."Fine," I nodded, before walking into the hou

ELENA "You're up," filled my ears as I took the last steps, peering into the kitchen to find Sarah washing a pan. On the counter was a spread of all my favorite meals.A smile tugged at my lips as I walked quickly into the kitchen and took a seat, my eyes glued to the feast before me."All this… for me?" I asked, raising my head with effort as I deeply inhaled the mesmerizing scents."Who else? Eat up," she said. I nodded and began to devour the meal. By the time I was done, I was filled to the brim like never before."This is so good," I said as I stood to help with the dishes, but she shooed me away."Good. I'm sure you have something to do, so go on." She smirked at my surprised face, and I tentatively stepped out of the kitchen—and then out of the house entirely.Standing there, shock plain on his face as he gazed at the men surrounding the mansion, was Mr. Leo. I had given him a week's leave when this madness began. To be honest, I was now apprehensive about having him drive me

ELENA Mr Leo drove me to the airport where a private jet was waiting to take everyone of us to the island where the contest would be taking place."Be careful, Mrs Russo" he smiled kindly at me as he helped bring out my luggage and I sent him a small smile before walking away with the box trailing soundlessly beside me."Oh, look who it is" I barely speared her a glance as I gave my luggage to the lady at the foot of the stairs and began to walk into the jet."She's ignoring you" a feminine voice said slowly as though afraid of saying it."Of course I can see that." Camilla snapped back and I smirked as I walked in and turned around to head to my seat, Seat Thirty Two. When I got there, I found Deluca seated before my seat with Lucas by our side."Elena" Lucas immediately cheered up as soon as he saw me and I couldn't resist the smile that came to my lips when I saw his expression. "You're simply begging for it. You slut" Camilla cussed with an eye roll as she brushed past me and w
