Chapter 282Quiet Days and Small StormsThe weeks started blending together in that soft way summer does on the island. Mornings came early with birds arguing in the lemon trees and the smell of fresh coffee drifting up from the kitchen. I’d wake up before everyone else most days, hand resting on the growing curve of my belly, feeling the baby do lazy flips like it already knew it belonged to this wild place.Luca had settled into a rhythm nobody forced on him. He ran with the men in the mornings, came back sweat-soaked and quieter than before. Afternoons he sat with Valerio going over ledgers and phone calls, learning how power actually moves when guns aren’t talking. Evenings he played with Livia in the garden, letting her boss him around like she was the queen of everything. She made him wear flower crowns one day. He kept it on until dinner.I watched it all from a distance at first, still careful, still waiting for the other shoe to drop. But the shoe never came.One sticky after

Chapter 284: Evening FlamesElena’s POVThe afternoon haze had melted into that soft Sicilian dusk where everything turns gold and rose and a little unreal. I lay there boneless on the rumpled sheets, skin still tingling, Valerio’s weight a warm anchor over me. His cock had softened inside me but he hadn’t pulled out yet, just stayed buried deep like he couldn’t stand to break the connection. I traced lazy circles on his back, feeling the faint sheen of sweat and the way his muscles jumped under my touch.“You’re going to kill me one of these days,” I whispered, smiling against his shoulder.He lifted his head, eyes heavy-lidded and satisfied. “Only in the best way, amore.” He kissed me slow, tongue sliding against mine like he was tasting the pleasure we’d just shared. When he finally eased out of me I felt the warm trickle of him between my thighs and shivered at how claimed I still felt.We showered together later, the water hot and steamy. His hands soaped me everywhere, gentle ov

Chapter 285:Late Night PullI woke up slow. The room was dark except for a thin line of moonlight sneaking through the shutters. Valerio’s arm lay heavy across my waist. His hand rested right on the curve of my belly like he always did now. The baby gave a little kick under his palm. I smiled in the dark. Felt that warm rush in my chest again. God, I loved this man. Loved how safe he made everything feel even when the world outside still had teeth.My body still tingled from earlier on the terrace. I could still feel him inside me if I thought about it too hard. Slick and full and his. I shifted closer. Pressed my back against his chest. He smelled like sweat and sea salt and that deep man scent that always got me going.He stirred behind me. “Can’t sleep?” His voice came out rough and sleepy.“Just thinking,” I whispered back. “About us. About how good today felt.”He made a low sound in his throat. His hand slid lower, fingers brushing between my legs. I was still a little wet from

My knees dug into the sharp gravel. It hurt but I didn’t care. Luca’s hand felt too cold in mine. Blood kept soaking through Valerio’s fingers where he pressed hard on the wound. The smell hit me hard. Metal and salt and something sweet underneath. I swallowed down the sick feeling in my throat.“Luca, look at me,” I said. My voice cracked like glass. “Stay right here. Don’t you dare leave us.”He blinked slow. His eyes looked glassy in the dim light from the warehouse. “Elena… I messed up.” The words came out weak. Wet.Valerio’s face stayed hard but his eyes were wet too. “Shut up and breathe, kid. Doctor’s almost here. Hear those sirens? That’s for you.”I squeezed Luca’s hand tighter. Tears ran hot down my cheeks. I wiped them fast with my free hand. The baby kicked hard like it knew something was wrong. My chest felt tight. I thought about Livia asleep back home. About how she’d made Luca wear that silly flower crown. About how he carried her on his shoulders at the market. He wa

Home at LastThe room felt too small all of a sudden. Marco Salvatore stood there in his sharp suit, smiling like he owned the place. My heart hammered so hard I could feel it in my throat. Valerio stepped right in front of me. His body blocked mine like a wall. Luca tried to sit up in the bed but he groaned and fell back. Tubes tugged at his arm.“Easy,” I whispered to Luca. I kept my hand on his. It was still warm. Still alive. That was all I cared about right now.Marco raised his empty hands higher. “Whoa. No gun. I swear. I’m not here to hurt anyone.”Valerio didn’t lower his hand from his own gun. “Talk fast. You’ve got ten seconds before I put you on the floor.”Marco looked tired all of a sudden. Not cocky. Just worn out. “My father sent me. He found out about the leak in his own crew. The old guys loyal to Matteo. They were using me as a front. I played along so I could feed them bad info. Buy us time.”Luca coughed a little. “You… knew?”Marco nodded. “Yeah. I’ve been watchi
