Chapter Thirty One

Valentina*The night of the attack*I tried my best not to breathe.Each shallow inhale made my ribs scream in protest, but I couldn't afford to be caught.Not now.My mind was reeling, heart hammering in my chest as I pressed myself against the stone wall, my sense of touch the only thing keeping me going. The shadows were my only protection.I gripped the rough surface, fingers digging into the stone to steady myself.The man was close. Too close.He had tried to get me to go with him, smuggle me out of the estate, under the cover of night, promising false safety.But everything about his words was wrong, from the cold gleam in his eyes to the way his hands had lingered too long when he grabbed me.Desperation to find Isabella had led me to this mess."Come now," He had whispered harshly, pulling me down the hall, his grip like iron around my wrist. "If you make a sound..."The hidden threat wasn't lost to me. Not when he pressed the side of his waist that held his gun to my back.I

Chapter Thirty Two

Valentina.Matteo made me go to therapy. Or rather, he brought the therapist to the estate and made sure I was okay with it.Therapy helped.The sound of the gun, me hitting that tree multiple times, the man.... I was able to keep it at the back of my mind for the meantime."What do you think about another date?" He asked the moment he walked into the room, smelling like the new oud scent I had gotten him.I paused, stirring the tea in my cup. His question hung in the air, and I wasn't sure how to respond.A date?It's been over a month since we went on our last date.And it hadn't been a traditional date in any sense."A date?" I repeated, more to fill the silence than because I didn't understand him. I looked up to meet Matteo's dark eyes and intense gaze, the kind that made me feel like he could see every thought I had."Yes," He said, leaning back in his chair, his eyes scanning me in that familiar, possessive way. "It's important."That gave me pause.None of our other dates had

Chapter Thirty Three

Valentina."Isabella was still the better choice."Matteo's body stiffened beside me. His fists clenched at his sides, his jaw hardened, and I could feel the tension rolling off him in waves.I understood why he hadn't told me about his father in the first place.It wasn't because he wanted to keep me away from him.He wanted to keep him away from me.Matteo's eyes darkened, his usually calm and impassive exterior slipping away as his father's words cut into him, into us.If word got out that his father didn't accept me....The room felt suffocating, every second stretching out painfully as I waited for Matteo to tell us to leave.When he finally spoke, each word was like a shard of ice."Isabella might have been the right choice for you..." Matteo started. "But she was never the right choice for me. And you know it."Pedro's cold smile didn't waver. "In terms of politics and compatibility, Isabella was the right choice. You would have learnt to love her."Matteo stepped forward, putt

Chapter Thirty Four

I felt like I was drowning.The tension in the car had been palpable, like an invisible force pressing against me from all sides. Matteo had sat beside me, his face a mask of silence, his thoughts locked away behind those blue eyes.No words had passed between us after Luca’s warning."Trust no one, Valentina."It echoed in my mind like a sinister chant, planting seeds of doubt and fear deep inside me. But it was too late to turn back now.Matteo had gone straight to his study the moment we returned to the house earlier, ensuring I was safely in my room, secluded from the chaos that swirled around us. He hadn't uttered a single word about the strife between him and his father. He was a man who hid his pain behind a wall of ice, yet I could feel it rolling off him.Even now, as we stepped out of the car and approached the museum for Giovanni’s birthday party, that tension clung to him like a second skinHis hand hovered over the small of my back, guiding me through the lavish entrance.

Chapter Thirty Five

"But I need to talk to my sister."I always thought that when I saw my sister, I would be relieved - ready to hand Matteo back to her and return to my old life.Continue my life as it was before.The air in the room became thick, suffocating, as I stared at Isabella. The one who had disappeared a week before her wedding with my husband.I had gotten her letter, almost gotten killed because I thought she had sent another, yet standing there, with her blond hair curled up in ringlets which framed her face, a mixture of shock and confusion overwhelmed me."You... you're here?" I whispered the question, my voice barely audible.Was I imagining things?Isabella nodded slowly, her eyes flicking between me and Matteo, uncertainty evident in her expression. The man she was supposed to marry, the man she was in love with, was holding me to himself.She looked nervous, like someone who had just walked into a dangerous situation and was unsure how to navigate it."I don't have much time," Isabel

Chapter Thirty Six

"Caterina."Everything Isabella had told me yesterday weighed heavily on my chest, pushing down with each breath I took.Matteo had stayed away from me, not prodding to know what she had said, yet watching me with enough concern to make me know he cared.I couldn't let him see my unravelling emotions. There was no way he would understand, not yet."I need answers." I could barely recognize the rasp in my voice as I walked out of the bedroom that morning, Matteo sprawled in bed, still asleep.I stormed through the hallways, barely noticing the new assembly of guards as I searched for Caterina, my housekeeper.She'd been with the mafia circle for long. She had to know something about this Dante family, something I could use against him so he could leave my sister alone.If it's monetary..."Caterina!!" I called out as I walked into the study.She ceased writing immediately, sliding her glasses up her nose as she watched me coke closer. Her expression was neutral, but I could tell she no

Chapter Thirty Seven

"Stand in position."The air was cold, crisp with the early morning chill, and I could see my breath as it escaped in soft puffs.My hands trembled, not just from the temperature but from the nervous energy building inside me.Matteo stood across from me, his arms crossed over his broad chest, his bored face watching my every movement."Relax your shoulders," He instructed, his voice calm but firm, as though this was something he did every day. "If you're too tense, you won't be able to move fast enough."I nodded, trying to loosen up as I held the gun in front of me, the weight of it foreign in my hands. I'd never even thought about holding a weapon as my first choice of defence, let alone using one, until now.But after what Isabella had said about Dante, about him holding her hostage, the threat he would pose to me once I finally got her, I needed to learn how to fight - both with my hands and with a gun.Matteo had been surprisingly patient, completely aloof as he watched me. Thou

Chapter Thirty Eight

"I killed him."That revelation hit me like a punch to the guy, freezing me in place, especially after the note Isabella had left for me.I stared at Matteo, barely able to process his words.My heart was pounding so loudly that it drowned out the sounds of the forest around us."You.... killed him?" I repeated, my voice shaky, hoping I had misheard.Hoping it was a mistake. A joke.Matteo's eyes were on me, his expression hard, unreadable. The playful man who had been teaching me how to shoot moments ago was gone. And in his place stood a stranger, someone more colder, someone dangerous."Yes." He said simply, as if it was a matter of fact, like discussing the weather.The note from Isabella burned holes into my palm.Did Isabella know who the fuck she was staying with now?My mind raced with questions, but one stood out.Why hadn't anyone told me this before?"Why?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.He took a deep breath, his gaze never leaving mine. "Because Dante Ricci was

Chapter Thirty Nine

Valentina"Help me get her out, and I'll do anything you want."I held onto Matteo's arm, the smile on my face real, as the cold wind sliced through my resolve as we stood in the middle of the estate grounds.His eyes bore into mine, searching for something he already had.Trust.He was the only one I could trust at this point."Help me get her out, and I'll do anything you want." I repeated the words in my mind, over and over, like a mantra I needed to believe in.What could I give Matteo in return that he couldn't get by himself?He got me, once Isabella was out of the picture.But Matteo wasn't a man who made promises out of the goodness of his heart. He was calculating, always weighing the benefits.I released my grip on his arm slowly, unsure of how much I should push. "What do you want from me, Matteo? Truly. If I agree to this, to help you find my sister for me, what will it cost me?"His eyes flickered with something unreadable before his mask slipped back into place. "You'll

Chapter Forty

MatteoI had no idea how they kept finding their way into the estate without anyone ever catching them."Help me get her out, and I'll do anything you want."Valentina's words from earlier still rang in my brain. She was at her breaking point now, and I could feel the weight of it pressing down on both of us.My wife was willing to bargain everything for her sister.A woman I was supposed to save the moment she went missing.Ethan’s apartment complex was our next stop, a necessary step to get Valentina away from the estate.Too many fucking times had someone slipped into the estate without my knowledge, and it infuriated me that it kept putting Valentina at risk.She was a weakness I couldn't let the others figure out.I spared a glance at her for a moment, my heart clenching at the familiar blond locks I loved to play with or just hold tight when we were in bed. Her grey eyes were closed, and her chest rose up and down softly.She was asleep.Valentina didn't know what she would walk
