Dahlia stirred awake, her body loose and heavy. She glanced at her phone, noon already. Gahn strode in, holding a mug of coffee. “Sleeping the day away or are we actually going to do something?” he teased.“Come here,” she said, stretching her arms lazily toward him.He set the coffee down and joined her on the bed, lying close. She leaned in, brushing a soft kiss against his lips.“How’re you feeling?” she asked, her voice low.“I feel bad…”“Oh, I’m fine,” Gahn replied, his lips grazing her neck. “And I’m not done yet.”She let out a laugh. “Where are we going?”“Surprise,” he said, giving her a light smack on the ass. “Now go shower and get dressed.”“Hmmm, okay…” She slid out of bed slowly, pretending to linger. He reached for her, but she darted to the bathroom, locking the door behind her.“I can wait here all day,” he called out.Her laughter bounced off the bathroom walls.She stepped out of the bathroom, and there he was, leaning against the doorframe. “Gahn,” she started, bu

Ten years later…."Papa, come on, don’t be like that," Jade said. "Mom’s getting an award. She finally locked up that big-shot gangster. Honestly, I think she’s tougher than you."He sighed. "Yeah, she probably is."Jade grinned and threw her arms around him. "Love you, Papa.""My beautiful girl," he said, holding her tight. "I’m so proud of you. I don’t deserve you or your mom.""Papa, what’s gotten into you today?" Jade asked, pulling back to look at him."Just feeling emotional," he admitted. "But only at home. Can’t have the guys at the station seeing me like this."As if on cue, a sergeant walked in. "Sir, ready?" He winked at Jade."We’re ready," Georgio said, taking Jade’s hand."We should grab some flowers on the way," she suggested."No time," Georgio replied.Jade shrugged and plucked a few roses from their garden. Then she spotted a perfect one on the neighbor’s side. As far as she knew, no one lived there. She hopped the fence, snipped the rose, and suddenly a shadow loome

Portofino, ItalyJade eyed the two urns on the dining table; her cheeks wet with tears. Jackson squeezed her hand. “You don’t have to figure this out today.”“I mean it, thank you. The job starts tomorrow, and I’ll pay you back for all of this.”“Jade, you don’t owe me a damn thing,” Jackson said, his voice steady. “Just promise me you’ll find something to help you unwind. This stress isn’t good for you.”“The gym?” she asked, half-laughing, half-sobbing.“Sure, whatever works. Come here,” he said, pulling her into a tight hug. He grabbed his bag and headed for the door.Leaving her felt like hell, but the pack was waiting. Jackson was split down the middle.Portofino general hospitalMr. Marelli, this is off the record, but the girl’s local, probably crashing with someone here.Luca stormed out, pissed. He couldn’t shake her from his head, her scent, the way she’d taken down five of his guys that day. No wonder, with parents who were cops. The old man must’ve trained her well. He gra

Luca knocked lightly before pushing the door open. Jade was sprawled on the bed, surrounded by books and papers, her laptop still on. He moved some of the clutter aside, shut the laptop, and set it out of the way before draping a blanket over her. She stirred slightly, murmuring, “Daddy… help me… daddy…” Luca hesitated, unsure whether to wake her or leave her be. He stood there for a moment, watching her like some weirdo. God, she’s gorgeous. Okay, now I’m officially a creep. He shook his head and slipped out of the room.Jade got dressed, grabbed her nurse bag, and headed to Luca’s bedroom. She knocked and walked in, only to find him standing there in his boxers. “Oh, shit, sorry, sir!” she blurted, spinning around.“Morning, Jade. And stop calling me ‘sir.’ It’s just Luca,” he said, pulling on his pants. “Alright, ready. How’s school going?”“It’s fine. Challenging… pausing, your wound’s healing well,” she replied with a small smile.“Good, because I’ve got a fight in Venice tonight

"No, no," she muttered, shaking her head as Luca stepped through the door."Jade, let me explain," he started, but she was already backing away, her hands up."Don’t touch me!" she snapped. "Did you really kill them? Wait, the burn… was that you? You saved me? Why?""Jade, stop. Just let me…"She bolted for the bathroom, slamming the door shut and locking it behind her."Please, just hear me out," Luca called through the door. "I didn’t kill your parents. Your dad knew what we were, and he threatened us if we didn’t pay up. I can show you the truth, but some rebels took it as an insult and went to… handle it. I found out too late. When I got there, you were on the floor, and I couldn’t just leave you."The door creaked open. Jade stood there, fully dressed. "He knew what you are. Like… are you some kind of arms dealer? Drug lord?"Luca snorted. "No, not even close. Alright, I’ll show you, but don’t freak out." He took a step back and shifted.Jade let out a sharp gasp, stumbling into
