Lahat ng Kabanata ng His Bride Of Revenge: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 7

**Elena's POV**Someone should have warned me that tonight might be the night I die... or at least almost.​“No… no… no, what the hell was that?” I screamed as glass shattered behind me. “That was obviously a gunshot, Oh God! Not tonight, please.” My heart pounded so hard I thought it might burst.My whole body tensed as the sharp smell of gunpowder filled the car.I pressed the gas pedal hard with my foot while gripping the steering wheel tightly, trying to regain control.Then, through the rearview mirror, I caught a glimpse of two headlights rushing toward me, and my hands instinctively gripped the wheel tighter.“What am I going to do? Elena you've got to think… think…” My chest felt tight, and cold sweat broke out across my forehead, dripping into my eyes, while my palms slipped on the wheel as I struggled to maintain control.“Please,” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the roar of the engine. “Please, God, help me.”The street ahead was empty, with streetlights stretch

**Elena's POV**I opened my eyes and bright light hit me hard, so intense it made my eyes water and my head throb, and for a moment I just lay there, blinking, trying to remember how to breathe.A machine kept beeping steadily and sharply next to me, filling the silence.For a moment, I believed I was still inside the car, the sound of metal screeching, glass shattering in my ears, gunshots, the car spinning, and everything turning dark — my mind kept replaying the scene, unable to forget.Panic rushed through me and I gasped for air.“Elena?”I forced my eyes open again, everything swimming in and out of focus, and I had to blink several times before the room stopped spinning.“Elena, hey…” The voice broke.I tried to turn my head toward the voice, but even that small movement sent pain shooting through my shoulder and down my side, making me grit my teeth.Elario was there, right by my bed, and just seeing him made my chest tighten. He looked terrible, hair standing up, eyes red and

**Stefano’s POV**When I walked into the office later that night, the silence swallowed the sound of the lock clicking shut. I ripped the knot of my tie loose, and poured a shot of bourbon, watching the amber liquid hit the glass, desperate for the familiar burn to settle the empty feeling in my chest.Then I heard the click of heels behind me.Lucia Romano.​She walked in, and the air instantly filled with the heavy scent of her perfume. Her red dress didn't just hug her, it was painted onto her body, riding high on her hips. I looked at her, my face showing no emotion. "You did well.”Lucia’s smile didn’t reach her eyes, and her knuckles turned white as she gripped the back of the chair. "You told me to warn you the moment Elena went out alone, I did what you asked." She clenched her jaw and held my gaze, her eyes blazing with anger. "She was supposed to die. So why is she still breathing?"The anger in her words were sharp, but underneath it, I heard the hurt, the jealousy she cou

**Stefano's POV**The car rolled to a stop outside the Castellano house, and I stepped out into the afternoon sun, dressed in a black suit.The guards in front of the house shifted uneasily, their eyes darting to one another, their hands tightening on their weapons. I watched one of them swallow hard, and a slow smirk curved my lips.That's what my name did to people in Milan.Armando stepped out to greet me, wearing that familiar slick grin I longed to wipe off.Soon Stefano, Soon...He offered his hand and led me into the house.Then I saw her again.Elena Castellano.Her burgundy gown clung to every curve, a sight that stole the air from my lungs. Her eyes found mine and didn’t look away, and in that moment, every plan I’d made just slipped out of reach.She wasn’t what I expected, not from a family like this, and definitely not from a world like ours.I’d seen her before, but right now, it felt like I was meeting her for the first time, all over again.Fuck!She was even more beau
