ALINAI could have sworn I'd died and gone to heaven immediately I saw Adriano tied up. I didn't care that he looked half dead, or that his hair was just about gone. I cared that he was alive and that I could see him. But a second later, Mikhail’s scream brought me down to the hell I was in. He fell, his scream dying off like it had been cut off.“Mikhail!” I choked out, dropping on the floor beside him. Luca's fingers wound into the back of my shirt and he dragged me up.“What the hell are you doing? Whoever just shot him isn't dead!” He shoved me behind him, his eyes rapidly searching the room for whoever the shooter had been. The storage container was empty from what we could see. So where the bloody hell was the shooter. And worse? Was Adriano being used as bait? I could hear him sobbing, and his shoulders were pushed in towards himself like he wanted to disappear into the ground. “Adriano? We're going to safe you, I promise!” I called out to him, my voice breaking towards t

ALINA I turned behind Matteo and shoved him away from the soaked couch. I couldn't stop screaming. “Get out, get out, Matteo! And stay out!” I felt more than saw Mother and Valentina beside me. Valentina plucked me away from Matteo who was stumbling, swatting away the water. “Alina? Stop please. Please stop!” Valentina begged, tugging my body to the ground and covering me with hers. I struggled, pulling away and standing on my own two feet. Matteo eyes were finally open, and I could see that the water had scalded the skin off his face. The hate were shooting from his eyes like lasers. I waited for him to react for once. He didn't. His hands balled into fists at his sides and he clenched his teeth. His words were more frigid than the arctic when he said. “Alina, I've tried to abide you, but you'll regret that.” Then finally, he turned and walked away. I watched him till he slammed the door shut before exhaling. If he'd just done that when I'd asked him to, then I wouldn't ha

LUCA The darkness wasn't clean. It came and went in minutes, blindong flashes of memory jerking my mind awake. I heard footsteps, a door creaking, voices in the dark, then something cold was pressed against my cheek. Then nothing. Back to the darkness. The next time I opened my eyes, my head was in fire. The back of my skull throbbed so hard I thought for a moment that I would throw up. My hands were chained behind the chair, the metal biting into my skin. My legs were tied too, my ankles rubbed raw. The door opened and light stabbed into the darkness, but I could only see the feet. My breathing stalled as I remembered where I was. I blinked against the sharp ache in my forehead, and forced the memories slowly into place as footsteps brought that foot closer to me. The butler. I remembered the butler, stepping into the house and then the crack on the back of my skull. I tensed, shifting slightly in the chair despite the ropes cutting deeper with every movement.

LUCA Alina pulled out of my arms. Her breathing was still shallow, and she was shaking. So I allowed her go. For a second, we just stood there staring at each other. There were no real words to make the moment less tense. So instead of force her to speak, I asked away and lifted Maya into my arms. I saw Alina’s shoulders relax. Maya giggled, her hands grabbing at my collar and I held her tighter than I should have, pressing my face into her soft curls. I kissed the top of her head and set her down, bending to pull Leo into my arms too. He laughed, and I closed my eyes and allowed myself to rest in the moment. Maybe Alina was already pregnant with my child. What would that mean for us? “Luca?” Alina called. “Yes, Sunshine?” I asked, turning to her. She took Leo from me, settling him into his chair, then she nodded to the stairs. “Go take a shower. You stink.” Maya and Leo giggled, both of them repeating the word stink. I rolled my eyes at Alina but I went up

ALINAWell, there went the happy evening we were supposed to have. Feeling flustered, I walked back into the house.Luca stopped me with his arm on my shoulder. “I need you to go into your room and make sure nothing's missing or left there.” I swallowed. “You mean he might have gone there to leave something?” He nodded. “I mean exactly that. Check in with me when you're done searching. I'll be in my study.” I nodded and hurried to my room. I searched the room but there was nothing to be found. I didn't believe Darion had been inside my room long enough to leave anything behind but always better safe than sorry. When I didn't find anything different, I sat on the bed, trying to calm the flutters in my chest. I was fine, it was fine, Darion was gone and nothing was missing. I left the room and headed to Luca’s study. He was alone inside, seated behind his desk. When he met my eyes, he sat up in the chair and beckoned me into the room.When I got to him, I perched on the edge of his
