The place hasn't changed much over the years, its opulence a constant reminder of our family's legacy. My eyes roamed over the familiar faces of our staff, each one nodding respectfully as I passed.

The realization that I had broken her heart completely made me mentally.I shook my head strongly, stumbling forward to grab her," NEVER! She is nothing... but a..."I swallowed the rest of my words down. It wasn't the right moment to tell her everything. I continued, changing the word that I was supposed to say," An ally!

Chapter 79|| VINCENZO'S POV ||The island was cloaked in darkness, the moon casting a pale glow over the jagged cliffs and turbulent waters. I was back in the cave, my wrists still raw from the ropes, though I had managed to loosen them slightly. My escape attempt earlier in the evening had failed, and now I was guarded more closely, two pirates stationed at the entrance.
