Chapter 41

Amy's POVHis consciousness slipped away, right after his voice after that the only thing that broke the silence was the mechanical his from the oxygen monitor and the constant mumbles behind the door from his soldiers words being exchanged right over my head their footsteps constantly thumping causing a headache that was so severe it felt like they were stomping directly on my head.I was massaging the back of Antonio's hand his grip now loosen on mine, my heart finally steadying into a normal pace, I looked at his face the closest to rest I had ever seen him he was always doing something always occupied always needed somewhere it was almost sad that the only time he had rest was when he was dancing the thin line between life and death. As my heart was calming down, my mind was in chaos. His unexpected confession flashed with what I knew about him what I had accepted he was as a man. I was attracted to him both of us and anyone who had spent more than 5 seconds with us in the same r

Chapter 42

Antonio's POVMy eyes took a harsh whip around the room. Around me, each of my soldiers avoided eye contact, their shoulders hunched and eyes diverted at anything else but me. I had stepped out of the medical wing and summoned them into my study so that I would be filled in on everything that had happened ever since I lost consciousness. Standing at the forefront, I stabbed my attention on Marco."Marco," I said, my voice calmer than the situation deserved, "fill me in. I need to know. Has Carlos been found?"He didn't answer for a long time, and that silence itself served as an answer even as I clung to something as foolish as hope. Marco didn't look up as soon as I called him to. His jaw stretched, then it locked back so tight the muscle was rippling in his cheek."Boss, we haven't stopped the search since you gave the order to look for him. We went back for him. We searched for hours after the fires died down. There... there was no trace of him. It was like he disappeared into thi

Chapter 43

Amy's POVThe iron gates of Enzo’s estate groaned open. My feet shifted back and forth, fingers curling and uncurling around each other, all to distract myself from the inevitable as the wheels of the car drove me past the gate. One of Enzo's men stared straight at me in the backseat. I gulped, clutched my skirt, and threw my head back.Before reaching his house, I was able to get a look at it from the backseat. At first glance, you would think it was just another house, but it carried a gothic air that blanketed over it and made time seem to spend into night even though we were just entering noon. As soon as the car stopped, a woman with pin straight hair and eyes as sharp as daggers came over, opening my door. She wore a poker face that betrayed no emotion."He's waiting for you," she said, and I felt like somebody about to be escorted to an executioner. I swallowed again, the lump in my throat getting bigger. Then I adjusted my back, stretched out my shoulders, and tilted my chest

Chapter 44

Amy's POVHe ducked down his chin, rubbing it between his fingers as though oh so deeply in thought. "I'm curious too," he said, partially trailing away from a question. "How did he react when he knew you were coming here?" he pressed, eyes suddenly tipped up and bulging with amused curiosity.I folded my hands over my lap. "I had help, so he didn't need to know how and when I left. I just did."He tapped his fingers over the opposite forearm. "That's not matching what I've heard from my side. I heard he was badly wounded, a mess really, but you haven't said anything about that even now. You avoid talking about it while looking at the person you suspect is responsible. Is it possible that his feelings could be one sided?"He snapped his fingers. A girl in a maid uniform showed up, shaking. Without looking at her and with his eyes still on me, he told her, "Take her to the guest room and prepare her."This felt like a strange recalling of my first day at the Moretti mansion. I stood up

Chapter 45

Amy’s POVEnzo leaned back, amusement swirled in his eyes, shirt unbuttoned revealing his sculpted chest, a smirk still rippled on his lips. He inhaled confidence like it was air, "Dove, I take one look at you and all I see is bark but no bite. From where I'm sitting you don't have a single card to play, well except..." His fingers drew invisible circles on the table, then moved them to the direction of my face. "Your looks, how about it? Warm my bed instead of his, Dove..." He swept his hand across, gesturing around, "I have more than this to offer..."I took a slow, deliberate breath, allowing the heat in my blood to cool in the tip of my hands. My fingers hovered over the metallic tea tray the suited figure had just propped between us. His eyes trailed over me but I didn’t tremble as I wrapped my fingers over the porcelain teapot. Tipping the cup, the steam pumping into a cloud of rich herb scents, hot liquid trickling with heat then I set it back down with a clink that came off

Chapter 46

Enzo's POV I thought she was another one of his toys.They never lasted long, like a breeze passing through. Then the next one would come along.But she was different, I had known it ever since that masquerade party but I found it hard to believe, Antonio with that cold dark thing he calls a heart. He shouldn't be capable of loving anything or anyone. However the way he holds her, stares into her eyes like he wants her to be the only one in the room, it seemed too absurd to believe. "Close your eyes..." I told her as we were leaving the conservatory, "I want it to be a surprise"I barely felt the nick she left on me. Besides, the wound on her was the worst. She was acting as if she was completely unaffected by it yet once in a while like to see her face constrict with a wave of pain then it would relax right back again as if nothing had happened.She was afraid, it was written all over her. I've made men and women of untouchable standing wet themselves with fear, so I knew what it

Chapter 47

Antonio's POV"You haven't eaten anything for over seventeen hours now, Antonio. Please, you're still recovering from your injuries; they won't be able to heal properly if you don't eat."Loretta placed a plate in front of me that, in the past, would have made my stomach jerk with anticipation. It was a juicy steak smothered in oil and seasoning, paired with asparagus. She had used her secret recipe for this, taking out her A-game to make sure I ate. I felt my appetite rise and then quickly dissolve before I could even pick up my fork and knife. I pushed the food ahead, the plate scraping against the table, then sighed, leaning away from it into my dining chair."Take it away, Madam Loretta. I don't have any appetite now."She looked at me as if I had kicked her, something I would never do. It was that favor I had for her that still allowed her to cook my meals after what she had done, but I had set a distance between us, something she was not completely honoring. However, I was deter

Chapter 48

Amy's POV"Carlos," I said again, my voice now shaking.Descending to where he had been locked up was difficult for me. Each breath felt forced. The pain from the shard in my grasp would fluctuate at the side, and I had to maintain conversation with Enzo. It was all so much happening all at once; the smell of death and blood didn't help either."Carlos?" I whispered, his name passing through my lips for the third time in under a minute. I tried to call him one more time, but his voice got stuck in my throat, choked up with emotion.At first, all I could hear were his groans, sounding more sickening than they did through the phone. When I opened my eyes, my hands flew over to my mouth. I should have known that after that video they would continue to torture him, but I didn't know it would have gotten so bad. His hands hung from chains leading up to the ceiling, his body swinging limply. Every part of him was covered in blood, cuts, and bruises. I wanted to throw up and I had to cup my

Chapter 49

Amy's POVHis fingers were digging into my wrist, and I don't think he noticed it either. I was going to point it out to him but decided to just keep my mouth shut. What mattered right now was making sure that Carlos got the help he needed. He looked so far gone; he didn't even have enough time to entertain whatever Enzo had planned before he would be lost forever.My eyes were closed again before we left the basement. Almost as if he could read me—read the worried thoughts in my head—he stopped for half of a second and told me, "Don't worry about that bastard; he's going to survive. Antonio knows how to pick the tough ones."Every time he said Antonio's name, there was a load of venom in it. It had me thinking: what made him hate Antonio so much? There was so much between them that was lost. How could two brothers come to become such sworn enemies?None of your business, I quickly scolded myself as I was forced to walk even faster.In the end, I had to always remind myself that Anton

Chapter 50

Antonio's POVI replayed the video over and over again until I thought my head was going to explode. Night came, and I was still looking at it. It took a lot to break a man like Carlos, but if anyone was going to get there, it would be that twisted brother of mine. My fingers clenched and unclenched around the phone. Sitting here on my bed right now made me feel sick. Madam Loretta had left a plate for me that had gone cold hours ago.I played the video again. In the background, the audio sounded faint to normal ears, but for my heightened senses, it came like knives penetrating through my ear canal. Her cries, her pleas—she was begging for his life to be spared. It made my chest feel so tight, tighter than anything the stitches could do.I wanted to raid that bastard's house, but violence didn't work on Enzo. In fact, he looked forward to it. Whether he was the one dispensing or receiving, it was a thing of sick pleasure to him. If I chose to go for a frontal attack, he would eagerly
