Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Lord Of Chaos: A Forced Marriage: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

As late afternoon descended over Savoca, a quaint and enchanting Italian commune nestled among the Sicilian hills in the province of Messina, the sky erupted in a spectacle of golden and amber hues, the sun bidding a languid farewell on the horizon.The town breathed spring with every gust of wind. The air carried a delicate perfume of orange blossoms and wild rosemary, scents that wove together like ancient secrets in the heart of the Sicilian hills.In the opulent mansion of the De Angelis family, activity buzzed ceaselessly. Servants darted to and fro, their steps hurried, attuned to every whim of the Don and his kin.In one of the mansion’s most lavish chambers, draped in linen curtains and furnished with hand-carved wood, Vittoria gazed at her reflection in the mirror with a serene yet vigilant eye.Her white gown cascaded over her form with flawless grace, tracing every curve with subtle elegance.Her long, meticulously styled hair framed a face of noble features and unshakable

Vittoria’s stomach churned, each of Vincenzo’s words reverberating within her like an inescapable verdict.Her legs buckled, her body wavered, and for a moment, she nearly collapsed. Nearly, because, in a cruel twist of irony, it was the arms of the man threatening her that steadied her.As if fate itself wanted to make it abundantly clear, one final time, who truly held the reins.“You were made to be in my arms. Say yes, bella,” Vincenzo murmured, settling her at the altar with the assurance of a victor who knew the battle was won. Every gesture staked his claim, sealing a fate from which there was no escape.Vittoria sought her father’s gaze, a silent cry for rescue, a last plea against the cage closing around her.But deep down, even before he uttered a word, she knew. There was only one possible answer to Vincenzo’s proposal, and it wasn’t freedom.“No way in hell will I allow this,” Alfonso roared, yanking Vittoria to his side with a force that clung to the illusion he could sti

Vittoria struggled to break free, but Vincenzo’s fingers clamped around her arm like shackles. Her feet stumbled over her gown, forced to keep pace with the relentless pace he set.In a final surge of desperation, she glanced over her shoulder, catching sight of Giuliano drawing his gun, his eyes ablaze.Further back, her father did the same, striding through the garden with a gaze locked on them, each step a silent warning that blood could spill at any moment.“Let me go,” Vittoria demanded, her voice low but laced with steel. She yanked her arm with force, making Vincenzo pause. “At least let me say goodbye to my famiglia.”“You’ll see them tomorrow,” Vincenzo replied curtly, reasserting control with a tight grip on her arm, as if the matter were closed.“Please, Vincenzo,” Vittoria pleaded, her voice breaking as she was dragged through the garden. “Let me do this, just this.” She persisted, turning instinctively, her eyes meeting those of her father and brother, now just a few step

Vittoria let out a sharp cry, her body recoiling from the sudden pain. Her breath caught in her chest, and the desire that had simmered silently moments before vanished, drowned by fear.Her gaze faltered, shattered by the brutality of his act. Without thinking, she began to scramble across the bed, as if she could escape him, herself, everything.Her wounded foot left a trail of blood on the white sheets, a silent testament to the violence Vincenzo had just etched into her skin.“That should do,” Vincenzo murmured, his voice low, cutting, devoid of haste or emotion.His eyes were still locked on her; he raised his arm with no need to measure the motion and flung the knife. The blade sliced through the air like a verdict, embedding itself in the wall with a sharp, precise thud. The sound reverberated through the bedroom, as violent in its echo as in its intent.Then, without a trace of gentleness, as if she were nothing more than a weightless burden, Vincenzo hoisted her from the bed

He opened his eyes slowly, as if the cold touch of the blade were a mere trivial annoyance. His gaze met hers, dark, intense, brimming with silent audacity.Without a word, Vincenzo’s hand reached for her, his fingers intertwining firmly around the knife’s handle.“Let me show you where to cut,” he murmured, his voice low, husky, almost an invitation.Guiding her hand, he slid the blade along his neck. A thin scratch formed, tracing a red line.“Here, bella,” he declared, the blade resting precisely over his carotid, steady, exact.He tilted his neck slightly, offering himself fully, like a profane sacrifice surrendered to the blade’s edge and her gaze, as if death itself were a game he controlled.“But if your hand falters, if you dare pull back now,” he continued, his voice low, drawn out, deceptively soft for the threat it carried, “you’ll only give me more reasons to turn your life into a slow, meticulous punishment—so intimate it’ll invade your skin, your breath, until you confus
