Chapter 131~ The Whisper Inside The Walls.

MATEOThe knock came just as I was pouring over the morning reports. I already knew who it was.“Come in,” I called out without looking up.Bruno entered, looking calm but purposeful, shutting the door behind him. His expression told me everything I needed to know before he even said a word.“We’ve got a problem,” he said.I gestured to the seat across from my desk. “Is it the northside shipment?” I asked.He nodded as he sat. “We got ambushed.”My jaw tightened. “Were there any casualties?”“None. Drivers are okay. Some minor injuries. Cargo’s mostly intact. We recovered eighty percent. The rest was either damaged or taken before we got there,” Bruno explained.I leaned back slowly. “Eighty percent isn’t bad. But that’s not what’s bothering you so you might as well spit it out because I'm kind of thinking the same thing too,” I told him.He gave a grim smile before he said, “You’re right. The route was changed less than two hours before the trucks rolled out. Only a handful of people

Chapter 132~ The Night He Let Me In

ClaraI wasn’t expecting a quiet night. Not with everything happening around us, the ambushed shipment, the constant tension humming in the air like a warning, and the ever-present shadow of Renzetti waiting for a slip. Yes, Mateo has been telling me about his work. But when I got home that evening, everything felt… different.I had a spa day with Lucaa and Lily while Mateo's mom agreed to take Ale for the day and from her last text. I could confirm that he was peacefully asleep in her bedroom. Lily also decided to go back to her apartment.The usual low buzz of voices and security movement was absent. The house was silent, warm, dimly lit. Soft golden candlelight flickered against the walls, and the air smelled faintly of roasted garlic and something else, maybe thyme. My heels clicked against the marble as I stepped further into the living room, pausing in surprise.Mateo stood by the dining table, wearing a black button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up and two glasses of red w

Chapter 133~ The Lost Piece.

Mateo There are moments in life that change things. Moments that shift the ground beneath your feet so subtly that you don’t even realize something has changed until it’s too late to go back. Tonight, I wasn’t expecting anything more than a quiet evening with Clara. She’d gone to take a bath, and I was left alone in the room, sprawled on the bed, scrolling through some intel Bruno had sent over. The flickering light from the bedside lamp cast soft shadows across the room, and for once, I allowed myself to relax. It was rare, this sense of peace. Even rarer was the warmth that filled my chest every time Clara looked at me like I was more than the broken man I’d become over the years. We’d come a long way. The walls I had built around myself were slowly being torn down by her love, her patience. And I let her. I let her in. As I leaned forward to plug my phone into the charger, my hand accidentally brushed a velvet pouch tucked beneath the bed. I froze. It hadn’t been there before,

Chapter 134~ Shadows at Dusk

CLARAI couldn’t sleep.The sheets felt like chains. The walls felt too close. And Mateo’s silence that unbearable, cutting silence echoed louder than any words ever could.I had rehearsed so many versions of that moment in my head, the moment when he’d find out about the rosary. But I never imagined it happening the way it did. I never expected the look on his face, not rage, not heartbreak, but something far worse... betrayal.After all we'd been through, hiding something like this from him was huge so I couldn’t even blame him for how he reacted.That rosary had been a secret I buried so deep within me, I almost convinced myself it didn’t matter anymore. I thought the past was just that, the past. But now, it was here, clawing at the present, tearing at the foundation we’d barely begun to build.I needed to breathe. To get out of the house. To see someone who could bring me back to myself, even for a little while, so I texted Lucaa asking her to meet for coffee.It was a bit early

Chapter 135~ The Empty Hours

MATEOThere are things you can't unsee.Like the glint of a rosary that should never have left your neck. The one that’s been missing for months, a family heirloom, a symbol, a legacy. A piece of myself I thought lost forever.And yet, there it was among Clara’s things.I hadn’t spoken a word. I couldn’t. My voice had dried up somewhere between disbelief and devastation after Clara explained things to me. I don’t even remember walking out of the room, only the weight of betrayal pressing against my chest, thick and unforgiving.The drive to the office was quiet as I went over everything that happened in my head over and over again. If I could turn back the hands of time, I wondered if I would have wanted to know but then I realized that there was no use worrying about something that's already happened.The good thing that's come out of this was finding out that Alessandro was my biological son but I had already thought of him as mine from the moment I first laid eyes on him. But the

Chapter 136~ The Cost of Betrayal

MATEOClara was gone. Her phone, off. Her car, abandoned. Her scent still lingered in our bedroom like a cruel memory.I hadn’t heard from her in over twelve hours.And every second that passed was a second I could not get back.“Still no movement on street cams around where the car was found,” Dominic said, pacing beside me. “The vehicle was clean. No prints. Whoever took her knew what they were doing.”The moment I got the call, I mobilized Bruno and Dominic and we were currently at our safe house. Only a handful if people knew about this location but it was our main operation centre. It was also the location that had the most weapons, most especially our last weapon shipment.The only thing on my mind now was getting Clara back and making whoever made the mistake of taking her wish they were never born.Bruno entered, carrying a folder. “I’ve got something.”I turned to him, every muscle tense. “What is it?” I asked.He handed me a photo of a soldier. Stocky, buzzcut, a quiet face

Chapter 137~ The Warehouse

CLARAThe coldness of the concrete floor bit through my clothes as I shifted against the pillar I was chained to. My wrists throbbed from the metal cuffs.They felt tight, rough, and unforgiving. Not to talk of the fact that I had lost track of time. How long have I been here?Hours? Maybe a day? I had no way of knowing. My phone was gone. My purse, too. All I had were my thoughts and the echoing sound of footsteps outside the metal walls.To make matters worse, I was starving. These people were terrible hosts that's for sure. Apart from water that's been fed to me through a straw, I haven't had anything to eat. My boobs felt engorged and uncomfortable. I haven’t pumped in a while which only made me miss my son.Then there was this annoying human that I had the misfortune of meeting.Martha.Her presence filled the warehouse like a venomous fog, charming on the outside, but seething with cruelty underneath. She had walked in earlier, perfectly put together like someone attending a ch

Chapter 138~ End of the Line

MateoThe night was too quiet. The kind of quiet that screamed of traps and unresolved bloodshed.My SUV roared through the unpaved road like a beast unleashed, headlamps slicing through the darkness. My hands were clenched tight around the wheel, but my mind was elsewhere, my thoughts thinking of one thing only, Clara.Dominic’s last ping had come from somewhere around these woods. That was over ten minutes ago. Ten minutes too long. I’d told him to focus on getting the girls to safety. This one was mine. Finding Clara was mine.I decided to change up the plans at the last minute. Like I said, I don't believe in coincidences and it was definitely not a mistake that Clara was missing the night Renzetti’s trafficked girls were set to arrive.No. This was an ambush and I'll be damned if I let them get one over me. Not when my woman's life was on the line.Because if anything happened to her…No. I wouldn’t allow myself to go there.I pressed harder on the gas. My eyes scanned the bush,

Chapter 139~ Dawn After Darkness

A few days later...CLARAI woke to sunlight filtering through gauzy curtains, the warmth of morning settling softly around me. For the first time in days, I did not brace for danger. The familiar tremor in my chest ever since my abduction had finally loosened its grip. I lay still for a moment, listening to the slow, even breathing of my son, Alessandro, curled against me. His tiny hand on my arm was the sweetest alarm clock I’d ever known.I slipped out of bed, careful not to wake him, and padded barefoot into the hallway. The house felt alive with light and soft sounds. From the kitchen came the hum of conversation and the faint scent of coffee and fresh fruit. I followed the trail to find Antonia, Mateo’s mother, arranging sliced strawberries on a platter while humming a tune.“Buongiorno, cara,” she greeted me without turning. For some reason, she was determined to teach me Italian. "Did you sleep well?"“Buongiorno,” I whispered. “I… I slept well.”She smiled, still focused on
