The Enemy in the Room

Valeria I grabbed Lorenzo’s hand—carefully, so careful not to press on the fresh bruises or pull at the bandages—and dragged him a few steps away from the open front door, around the corner of the house where the old lemon tree blocked us from view. My heart hammered so hard I felt it in my throat. Every second out here felt like a risk, like the driver’s eyes might follow us, like Dante’s reach might already be stretching across the city.“I’m working on it,” I whispered, voice tight and urgent. “I’ve been keeping him updated on everything. And I’m not stopping until we get him back.”Lorenzo’s good eye searched my face. His voice came out hoarse. “What if Dante finds out?”“He won’t.”He shook his head slowly, wincing. “You sound so certain, Val. But what if he does? What if he already suspects something? You saw how he looked at me in that room. How he dragged Marco in like evidence. What if—”“It doesn’t matter,” I cut in, sharper than I meant to. The words burned on the way out.

The Man Inside His Home

Valeria’s POVThe moment my eyes landed on the man sitting in Dante’s living room, my entire body reacted before my mind could process what I was seeing.Aurelio Rossi was here.Inside Dante’s home. For a few seconds, I forgot how to breathe. My feet stopped moving, and every thought inside my head crashed into one another.This was not supposed to happen.Aurelio was supposed to be somewhere else. He was supposed to be waiting for the information I gave him. He was supposed to be the person who helped me save my family and expose Dante’s weaknesses, and not to be sitting comfortably in Moretti’s house.Not with Dante standing only a few feet away from him. And with both of them appearing calm. My stomach twisted painfully as a thousand questions rushed through my mind.Why was Aurelio here?How long had he been inside this house? Did Dante know who he really was? Did Aurelio tell him anything?The thought alone sent fear through me as I forced myself to breathe slowly.No.I could not

The Cost of Loyalty

Dante’s POVThe moment Valeria disappeared down the hallway, my attention remained on the empty space where she had been standing.It was unusual.She had only just arrived, yet she had excused herself within minutes of seeing my guest. Most people would have stayed, especially with someone like Aurelio Rossi sitting in front of them. They would have smiled, entertained the conversation, and tried to make an impression.Valeria was not most people.Still, I did not immediately follow her.If there was one thing I had learned about my wife, it was that forcing answers out of her rarely worked. Valeria was stubborn, intelligent, and far too proud to admit when something bothered her. If she wanted to hide something, she would do everything possible to keep control of the situation.But I knew her.Better than she realized.I knew the way her shoulders became slightly tense when she was uncomfortable. I knew how her eyes moved around a room when she was analyzing every person inside it. I

The Price of a Father’s Life

Valeria's POVThe message arrived three hours after Aurelio left Dante's mansion.I had been sitting in my room, staring at the same page of a book for almost twenty minutes without understanding a single word, because my mind had not stopped since the moment I saw Aurelio sitting across from Dante.Every possible explanation had crossed my mind, and none of them gave me any peace. Aurelio being inside Dante's home was not part of the plan, not something I had prepared for, not something I could control, and that was what bothered me the most. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I was reacting instead of making decisions.My phone vibrated on the table beside me, and when I looked at the screen, I saw his name. My chest tightened before I even opened the message. Come alone. Same arrangement. We need to talk.I stared at the words for a long moment, knowing this was a moment I had always known would come eventually. Since the first day I agreed to work with Aurelio, I unde

The Ghost From The Past

DanteThe documents spread across my desk had barely received my attention for the last hour. The shipment agreements with the neighboring city were important — the negotiations affected several of our routes, and every detail required careful consideration before I approved anything, because a single mistake in our line of work could cost more than money. It could cost lives.Normally, I would have been completely focused. Today was different. My mind kept returning to Aurelio Rossi. The man had walked into my home, sat across from me, and left without revealing anything useful. He had spoken carefully, chosen his words deliberately, and left me with more questions than answers. That alone was enough to keep my attention.The sound of my office door opening pulled me away from the documents. Nico stepped inside."Boss."I looked up, and the expression on his face immediately told me he was not here for a simple update."What happened?"He closed the door behind him. "Valeria went out

The Price of Defiance

ValeriaTwo days had passed since Aurelio Rossi walked into Dante's home and changed everything I thought I understood. Two days since I had stood in front of him, pretending we were strangers while my entire body knew exactly who he was. Two days since I watched him sit across from Dante, speak to him like an equal, and leave without revealing the reason behind his sudden appearance.Since then, I had been waiting — waiting for something to happen, waiting for Dante to question me, waiting for Aurelio to make another demand, waiting for the moment when everything I had been hiding finally collapsed. But Dante had not confronted me. Not once. And somehow, that made me more unsettled than an accusation would have. If he had accused me, if he had demanded answers, at least I would know what he knew. The silence gave me nothing. It left me guessing.The worst part was that I could not even allow myself to relax, because I knew Aurelio was not finished with me. Men like him never walked a

The Enemy Within Reach

DanteThe city disappeared behind us as the van moved farther away from the familiar roads and into the quieter areas beyond the main districts. Nobody in the vehicle looked like themselves, and that was the entire point. The men beside me were dressed in ordinary construction clothes, nothing about their appearance suggesting who they truly were or what they were capable of doing. Their boots were covered with dirt, their shirts looked worn, and their equipment had been carefully hidden beneath layers of fabric. To anyone watching, we were just workers heading somewhere outside the city, and that was exactly what I wanted. Attention was dangerous.Aurelio Rossi had already proven that he was careful. He had erased pieces of his own existence, moved through the world without leaving clear traces, and entered my home without revealing his true intentions. I was not going to make the mistake of underestimating him. Not again.The decision had been made before sunrise. I was done waiting

The Truth Buried Thirty Years Ago

Dante's POV"Fuck!"The word left my mouth before I could stop it. The driver's body remained slumped against the steering wheel, blood already spreading across his clothes. There was no time to check if he was alive, no time to think about what had happened or how they had found us. There was only survival.I immediately lowered my body, moving away from the window and keeping myself beneath the level of the bullets that continued hitting the vehicle. The sound of gunfire filled the air. The men in the back of the van reacted instantly, but the situation had already changed. We were no longer the hunters. We were the target.I reached toward the hidden compartment built into the side of the van, where the weapons were stored for emergencies. This was exactly what this was — an emergency. My fingers had barely touched the opening when the sound of an automatic rifle being loaded reached my ears, and my body reacted before my mind finished processing it. I dropped lower. The next round

The Name Buried in Blood

Valeria's POVThis was it.The thought came quietly as I stood in front of the mirror, staring at the woman looking back at me. For several minutes I had not moved. The room around me was familiar — our bedroom, the place where I had spent countless nights trying to understand Dante Moretti, the place where I had learned that the man everyone feared was not as simple as the world believed. But today, standing there alone, everything felt different. Something had shifted. I did not know what was coming next. I only knew that whatever happened, there would be no going back.My reflection showed the same face everyone else saw. Calm. Controlled. Untouchable. It was the face I had learned to wear when fear threatened to take over, because nobody survived Dante's world by allowing people to see their panic, and nobody survived Aurelio Rossi by showing weakness.My fingers tightened slightly around the edge of the dresser. The last few days had changed everything. Aurelio had entered Dante'

The Loyalty She Never Expected

Valeria's POVThe sound of my phone ringing broke through the silence. I flinched. My hand was still raised, frozen in the same position it had been when the picture appeared on my screen. For several seconds, I did not understand what was happening. The room felt distant — Nico's voice, the sound of my own breathing, everything fading beneath the weight of what I had just seen.Then the phone rang again. This time, the sound reached me. I blinked and finally looked down. Another notification appeared. A picture. The same unknown number.My heart tightened. I did not open it. Not yet. Because a part of me already knew that whatever Aurelio had sent would change something else. I had already received enough information to understand that my entire understanding of Dante's life had been incomplete, and I did not know if I was ready for more."Valeria."Nico's voice pulled my attention back. I looked at him. His expression was completely different from before. The confusion was gone. The
