"Control"ElisaThe knock came just after noon, “Antonio wants to see you,” Marcello said, his voice as blank as his expression.I didn’t ask why.I followed him in silence, footsteps echoing off the marble floor. The corridors of the Romano estate felt colder than usual, and my mind churned with possibilities. Matteo’s confirmation two nights ago had told me all I needed to know, Antonio had seen the footage, he knew what Georgia had done.But how far would he go, what would he do with that truth, more importantly… What would he do with me? These were questions I kept asking myself.My pulse quickened as we neared Antonio’s study, Georgia had made her move and now the board was shifting.Marcello opened the door and stepped aside.Antonio stood by the tall window, hands behind his back, staring out at the garden like it might offer answers he couldn’t find inside.“Close the door,” he said without turning, the latch clicked softly behind me, the silence between us stretched.Finall

"Ghosts and Silver"ElisaDays passed slowly.l,I was still a prisoner, nothing had changed about that but I could move around the Romano estate now, within limits of course. No one stopped me, but I was always being watched by the guards. The poisoning incident had changed everything.The small blade Antonio had given me the other day, stayed close to me. I kept it hidden in my pocket during the day and under my pillow at night. It wasn’t just a weapon. It also sounded like a warning to me, survive or you die.The staff avoided me now. They spoke less when I entered a room, their eyes dropping quickly. I guess the truth about what Georgia had done was now in the open.Only Bianca still came around, she brought coffee sometimes, or just sat quietly with me, but I could tell something had changed. She was kind, but distant, it was like she was holding something back.One morning, before sunrise, I found a note under my door. There was no name, ust a folded envelope.I looked around

"The Locked Drawer"ElisaAntonio had left the estate the day before, called away on urgent business at one of his warehouses, whatever had happened was serious enough for him to leave without much explanation. I had overheard Matteo say something about sabotage and missing shipments.But all I could think about right now, was what the note that was left outside my door said, “They’ve lied to you, look deeper.” And also the photograph, of the man with the ring that matched mine.I hadn’t slept properly the nights before, the images wouldn’t stop replaying in my mind. And now, with Antonio gone, the silence of the estate tauted at me like an opportunity.Today was the only window I might get.I moved carefully through the hallways, keeping to blind spots I’d memorized over weeks of observation, the Romano estate was a fortress, but like any fortress, it had cracks. I didn’t need to go far, the offices weren't my destination, neither was the basement or the weapons rooms. I was going

"Fangs Beneath Skin"ElisaHis kiss wasn’t gentle, it wasn’t romantic. It was hard and demanding, like he was trying to prove something, it shocked me, but I didn’t back down.I wasn’t going to be the girl who melted into his arms, I wasn’t going to be his prisoner or his plaything.So I fought him.I kissed him back not because I wanted to surrender, but because I wanted to show him I could match his fire. My hands gripped his arms tightly, my nails digging through the fabric of his jacket. Our mouths clashed like two forces unwilling to yield, each trying to dominate the other, his control met my resistance, and the air between us sparked with something dark and tangled.The taste of him, clean, sharp and familiar coated my lips. I hated that it stirred something in me, a heat, a flicker of want I refuse to admit.Then reality came rushing back.What the hell was I doing, this was Antonio, the man who is holding me against my will, the man who killed Pietro, the man I tried to kil

"Hunter's Calm"AntonioI couldn’t shake the memory of the kiss off, It had come out of nowhere, and I had responded in a way I hadn’t expected. Elisa’s reaction to the kiss, sharp and full of fire, had surprised me. There was something about the way she resisted, about the way she pushed back, that intrigues me. It wasn’t just about the kiss, It was about the challenge she gave.But I wasn’t in the mood for challenges right now.I walked down the hallway from my suite, my mind still clouded, I’d just dealt with the scene of Elisa in my study. She’d been searching through my things, trying to piece together something I didn’t want her to know, that pissed me off more than I cared to admit. But I couldn’t ignore the spark that had flown between us, but I needed to regain control fast, and I needed to focus.I crossed the corridor, ignoring the guards stationed by the stairs. They stood straighter when they saw me, but I didn’t acknowledge them. My mood right now was too volatile t
