They met in a tight embrace, the kind of hug that made the world quiet again for a few seconds. “You didn’t tell me you were coming today,” Eloise said, her voice soft against her mother’s shoulder. “I wanted it to be a surprise,” Anne chuckled as she pulled back, cupping her daughter’s face briefly before brushing a few strands of hair behind her ear. “Well, your mother insisted,” came another voice from the corner, smoother, deeper. Eloise turned to see Alessandro, standing just a few steps inside, a glass in his hand and a small smile playing on his face. Before Eloise could say anything, Dino stepped into the house, his pace slower now, his features carefully arranged in something close to neutral. “Dad?” Dino greeted, eyes briefly meeting Alessandro’s. Then, “Anne.” “Dino,” Anne said warmly, pulling him into a hug just as she had Eloise, as if all the tension between them didn’t exist or perhaps, she chose to ignore it tonight. Dino hugged her back, but his eyes f

Matteo didn’t flinch. His tone was cool, measured but his words cut clean. “Do you even love her?” Dino’s jaw ticked. “Why that question?” Matteo tilted his head slightly, the glare in his eyes sharper than his usual calm demeanor. “Because if you don’t, you need to back off. Completely.” A long silence stretched between them. The weight of the moment was heavy, dangerous. Dino’s lips parted, his voice low but firm. “Not anymore.” Matteo’s brows lifted just slightly, like he’d been expecting that answer and had already made peace with it. He stepped back a little, eyes never leaving Matteo. “Hope you don’t mind… if I go after what I love.” Dino’s stare hardened. His throat worked as if he wanted to say something, anything, but couldn’t. And with a simple, casual turn, Matteo walked away leaving Dino standing there, pulse pounding, heart tight, and something bitter burning beneath his ribs. Dino stood frozen in the kitchen, Matteo’s words echoing in his head like

The air was sharp, tinged with the scent of wet grass and fading jasmine. Eloise stood still under the moonlight, her arms wrapped tightly around herself as if she could physically hold her chest together. The house behind her was dim, quiet. Everyone else had gone to bed. Everyone except Dino. His voice broke the silence like a knife. “You always run when it gets hard.” Eloise didn’t turn. She closed her eyes. “Maybe because running is the only thing that makes sense.” He walked closer, boots crunching against the gravel path. “You said we should stop. You said we weren’t meant to be. But what we are, what we feel, it isn’t just something you turn off like a switch, Eloise.” At that, she spun to face him. “And what do you want me to do, Dino? Stand in front of our parents and tell them I’ve been in love with their son?” “We’re not blood,” he bit out, voice thick. “They know that. Everyone knows that.” “That doesn’t make it right!” she snapped. “They raised us to be a fam

Dino moved to the panel, pressed it again. Then again. “System’s dead,” he muttered, looking up. “We’re stuck.” “Of course we are,” she muttered under her breath. “Perfect.” He turned to face her. The small space suddenly felt suffocating. “I didn’t trap us in here, Eloise.” “Feels like your style.” “That’s not fair.” “Neither is falling for your stepbrother,” she shot back, voice cracking. Silence again. But this time it was loaded. Raw. Dino moved toward her slow, careful steps. “I didn’t ask for this. But I’m not going to apologize for it either. I’d rather feel something real and wrong than live numb and proper.” “Don’t do that,” she said, backing up against the wall. “Do what?” “Say things that make me want you more than I already shouldn’t.” His hand rested lightly on the railing beside her, not touching her, just close enough to feel the tension vibrating between them. “You’re not the only one who’s scared, Eloise,” he said. “But I’d rather risk everything than l

Fingers in his shirt. His arms around her waist. A hunger that had been brewing for weeks finally breaking the surface. The kiss deepened. Their restraint collapsed. And for one dizzying moment, nothing existed but the two of them... The rules, the titles, the family connections all gone. Just Dino and Eloise. Two people who had been running from this… and had finally run out of road. The moment their lips touched, the world blurred. Eloise wasn’t sure who moved first. Maybe it was him. Maybe it was her. Maybe it was that invisible thread between them snapping after holding taut for too long. His lips were warm... rougher than she expected, but familiar in a way that made her knees weaken. Her hands, trembling at first, found the fabric of his shirt, clutching it like she needed to anchor herself or she'd fall right into him. Dino’s hand curved against her cheek, calloused thumb grazing her skin, sliding along her jaw like he had every right to touch her. His oth
