Adriano.As I sat here in the same room as my enemy, the only thing on my mind was that my brother was right.There's a saying: keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Enemies are easy to come by; they can appear in the form of friends, well-wishers, or even family. They aren't hard to find, especially when your current quest involves someone you despise.There's a thing called proper planning, and I consider myself a master at it. I never thought things would go wrong, but I had a backup plan ready before coming here.One would have to be foolish to enter their enemy’s house without adequate preparation. The plan was simple: come to Romanov’s home, get him to reveal what he wanted from Alexandra, and then leave—ideally without shedding any blood. Yes, that was the plan. But plans change, especially when walking into a den of vipers.That was the plan Alexandra and I intended to follow, but it became evident that deeper issues were at play that we didn’t know about before arr

Alexandra. Hushed voices slowly lured me out of my sleep. "You said she's going to be fine. It has been a day, and yet she isn’t waking up," a familiar voice snapped. I tried to make out what was happening around me, but everything was dark. "She is stable, Mr. Rossi, and will need time to recover. She lost a lot of blood, but I assure you she will be fine," another voice, one I didn't recognize, replied. After that, I couldn’t hear anything again. The surroundings became calm, and darkness enveloped me. "Why isn’t she waking up, brother?" "I know you expect me to tell you she's going to be fine like everyone else, but I won't say that. You know her; you know how strong she is, so don’t be bothered by how long this is taking. Just focus on her strong will." "She’s strong, and I know she’s going to be fine." Again, everything went silent. "I need you to wake up, baby. Please." I heard the voice I had become accustomed to begging. I tried to force my eyes open so I c

Alexandra.It has been two weeks since I was shot, and moving around has never been harder than it is now. To make things worse, Adriano was like a mother hen. He won’t let me leave the bed. He is always on watch, ensuring that I’m not on my feet when I need to use the bathroom, eat, or even pee. If he isn't here, Vito replaces him outside my bedroom, keeping an eye on everything I do.It’s something I hate—not having any privacy—but I have no choice. However, today I am determined to leave this room; I can’t stay locked up here for another week.“Where is your head at?” Mariana’s question snapped me out of my thoughts.I blinked and shook my head. “Sorry? I didn’t catch what you just said.”“You zoned out while I was talking to you, Alexandra. You know I hate that,” she scolded, and I winced.Mariana has become more cranky this week, and with her due date approaching, I can’t complain. Gosh, I can’t wait to meet her baby.“Sorry, what were you talking about?” I apologized again.She

Alexandra.I stood outside the door, staring at the brown oak wood as if it were the most fascinating thing in my life right now. I was just a step away from going in to find out things I had never known before. So many questions raced through my mind; I wanted to know why he killed them. I needed to understand what could have pushed him to not only take his father's life but also mine. I wanted to know why he thought giving me to an older man was a good idea, even when I hadn't grown up yet. "Are you ready?" Adriano appeared from behind me and stood beside me. He hadn't attempted to open the door or push me to do anything since we arrived, and he hadn't said anything about the time I was taking to decide. He was giving me space, allowing me to do whatever I wanted. I sucked in a deep breath and slowly let it out before nodding my head. "I'm ready." Even then, he didn’t open the door. He waited until I pushed it open before walking inside. "Your uncle is placed in a separate roo

Adriano. Everything happened so slowly. One moment, Romanov was sitting tied to the chair as he had always been since he was brought here. I felt lucky that I wasn’t brutal enough to order Kyle to tie him up with his hands, dragging him up until his legs couldn’t touch the ground. And then, just like that, his hands were coming undone, allowing him to grab hold of Alexandra. I still couldn’t figure out how he managed to do that with both Kyle and me in the room, but he did, and there was nothing I could do because he was threatening to hurt her if I didn't comply. I watched with my heart in my throat as he stood up with her still in his arms. Alexandra struggled to break free, but it was futile. All her fighting spirit drained away when the monster hit her in the stomach—exactly where she had been shot before. I fought back the urge to rush forward and help her as she bent over, clutching her stomach and breathing heavily. She didn’t cry or make a sound, and for that, I was torn bet
