Chapter Forty-One

Camilla I told Lucas everything that Elena managed to tell him in that short while and to my relief, he seemed to know where this Garden place was. "This is fucking suicide, Camilla." I kept my mouth shut, not wanting to tell him I thought it was too. He released my arm only to rake both hands through his hair, pacing two steps in the confined space before whipping back to face me. "Do you think you can just walk into that place and pull people out?" "Then help me," I said. "You know the operations. You know the weak points. If you're going to stop me, do it now, but if not. ." "Stop you?" He laughed, but there was no humor in it. "Baby, I don't think anyone could stop you. That's the fucking problem." Silence stretched between us, thick with everything unsaid. "Why are you helping me, Lucas? You could walk away. You could tell your father everything, stay loyal. You're his son. Why risk this?" He went quiet and even when he stepped closer, I didn't retreat. It was like I w

Chapter Forty- two

CamillaWhat the hell was he doing here? I had not expected to see Lucas at Elena's house. We had talked about me coming here to see her, but he never said he would show up. The garden smelled of sweet roses and fresh grass. Sunlight danced on the fountains. But all I saw was him. Elena touched my arm gently. "I didn't know you two knew each other so well. Lucas showed up at my door early this morning. He said he wanted to see Matteo. He's been here ever since."Matteo, gave me a tentative smile. I forced a smile and stepped closer to the table. "Nice to meet you, Matteo."I took the chair across from Lucas abd Elijah stood like a statue near the tall hedges. Elena poured tea for everyone. Matteo chattered away about his cars and surprisingly Lucas listened to him. It was strange to see this side of him. But every time his eyes flicked to me, it felt like a brand.After a while, Elena stood up. "Matteo, come help me bring more cakes and biscuits from the kitchen. You can show Lucas

Chapter Forty-Three

Camilla We slipped out the estate. Lucas knew every corner without cameras and Elijah was nowhere in sight. I swear I still didn't understand that man. We took a path to a waiting car far from the main gate. "You shouldn't have dragged Elena into this," he said after a while of driving. "If Cassio finds out she talked..." "I didn't drag her. She wants to be free," I said. "And you are helping, so stop acting like you don't care." He glanced at me. "I wouldn't use the word care, princess. Don't be deceived." I looked at him. What was he going on about? He shifted the topic and began to talk about the plan. He had gone to the Garden yesterday night to scout. There was a blind spot in the east wall. Thirty seconds every hour when the cameras moved. Guards who took cigarette breaks at certain times. I listened carefully, memorizing every detail. Lucas kept his eyes on the dark road ahead, his hands tight on the wheel. The car hummed low, cutting through the night like a knife. M

Chapter Forty-Four

CamillaThere was nothing gentle about this kiss. Lucas kissed me like he’d been starving for it. His hand tightened on my chin, holding me exactly where he wanted me, while the other slammed against the wall beside my head. I tasted anger and hunger on his tongue as it swept into my mouth, claiming, demanding. A low growl rumbled from his chest when I bit his lip in retaliation.My body betrayed me instantly. Heat exploded low in my belly, slick and urgent, and I arched against him before I could stop myself. The thin red dress was no barrier at all. I could feel every hard inch of him pressed against me, his thigh still wedged between my legs from how he’d pinned me. My nipples scraped against his chest with every ragged breath, aching.I hated how good it felt. I hated him.I shoved at his shoulders, but my fingers curled into his jacket instead, pulling him closer. A whimper slipped out of me when he angled his head and deepened the kiss, devouring me like he wanted to consume eve

Chapter Forty-Five

LucasCamilla sat rigid in the passenger seat beside me. The dress I had given her had ridden up her thighs, exposing the pale skin that called my attention to them everytime. Her bare feet were tucked awkwardly beneath her. She hadn't said a single word after she had asked me that question and I wondered what she was thinking.I allowed myself a small, private smile in the darkness of the car. This night was just the beginning of my laid down plans. It had taken months of careful orchestration, of pulling a lot of strings. It started from the day I realized that my father had someone close to him. He had tried to hide it from him, he had tried to hide his obsession over this red haired woman but he hadn't known that hatred run deeper than blood. It's why I knew Camilla's name. It's why I had taken her that night. And Sophia, the girl from the club was also orchestrated. Although everything else was true, I had known that Camilla won't resist saving her. She was quite dumb in that

Chapter Forty-Six

LucasI had received a call from Ivan earlier this evening. They had found Dario. I put a lighted cigarette in my mouth. Took them long enough.I told them to put him in the black room. Different from where his friend had died. Ivan was waiting outside with an umbrella,as the rain was drizzling, when I got there.He took one look at me and shook his head like he knew I was making trouble again. "He's ready," Ivan said simply, giving me a tray to stub my cigarette. " We have taught him a few lessons so I think he has had plenty of time to think about his choices."I nodded and went inside. Dario was tied to a metal chair in the center of the room. Interestingly, Ivan's idea of a few lessons was a swollen face, two bursted fingers and a bursted knee. Two of my men stood guard nearby, their expressions professionally blank. Dario looked up as I approached, his eyes widening with recognition and terror."Lucas," he rasped. "Whatever they told you...."I held up a hand, cutting him off w

Chapter Forty-Seven

Camilla I lay still in the big bed measuring my breaths carefully. I knew when the door opened and I knew who entered. His smell was quite distinctive and it made no sense for my body to respond to it but it did. I had been trying to sleep after what had happened when I heard Lucas's care come in. I had no idea he would try to come into his father's room but he did. So now I waited, counting my breaths, until I heard the door close again with another soft click. Only then did I open my eyes. I found out my slip had shifted during my feigned sleep and was exposing more skin than I was comfortable with so I pulled it up and got down from the bed to follow Lucas.I eased the door open just a crack, peering into the dimly lit hallway and saw Lucas walking away. Why was I doing this? Every rational part of my mind screamed at me to go back to bed, to forget whatever madness had taken hold of me. But my feet kept moving, carrying me out into the corridor with a will of their own.I foll

Chapter Forty-Eight

CamillaI stared at the ceiling listlessly. I had been awake for hours and had been doing since. So I was definitely still tired because I hadn't gotten much sleep. I slipped out of bed and went down for breakfast or normalcy. Or whatever passed for it in this house. The moment I stepped into the dining room, my mood soured further. Isabella was already there, back from her family visit. She sat beside Lucas and was saying something to him with a smile on her face. The sight of her made irritation flare hot in my chest.She was back. Of course she was back. I wasn't happy about it at all, her presence only complicated everything, adding another layer of tension and resentment to this already suffocating house. Her dark eyes flicked up to meet mine as I entered, carrying an unmistakable displeasure that matched my own. I felt her gaze rake over me like physical touch, cataloging every detail of my appearance, searching for any sign of weakness or change in my absence. I didn't care.

Chapter Forty-Nine

CamillaI stared at the message for exactly three seconds before shoving my phone back into my pocket. The library. Again. As if I had any choice in the matter.My hands were still trembling from this morning. The way Vittorio had patted my arm afterward like I was a child who'd witnessed something mildly unpleasant.I'll buy you another dress.Another dress. As if that could replace the image seared into my mind.I made my way through the winding hallways, my footsteps muffled by the Persian carpets. The house was eerily quiet now, the earlier chaos erased like it had never happened. I passed Rosa in the hallway, and she gave me a small, knowing look, the kind that said she understood I wasn't okay even though I pretended to be.I didn't pretend with her. I couldn't.The library door was ajar when I arrived. I pushed it open and stepped inside, finding Lucas standing by the window. The afternoon light caught the sharp angles of his face, illuminating the tension in his jaw. He was h

Chapter Fifty

Camilla The evening of the wedding arrived with terrifying speed.I stood before the full-length mirror in my bedroom, staring at the woman reflected back at me. Rosa had chosen well, the dress was a deep, blood red that hugged my curves like a second skin. The neckline plunged dangerously, and the back dipped low, revealing the elegant curve of my spine.And around my neck, nestled in the hollow of my throat, was the necklace.I touched the pendant gently, feeling the weight of the EMP device hidden inside. Rosa had helped me fasten it without comment, her hands steady despite the tension radiating from my body. She'd asked no questions, had simply done her job and retreated with a quiet "You look beautiful, Signora."Now I was alone, staring at this stranger in the mirror. She looked like a woman ready for a night of celebration. She looked like someone with nothing to fear.She was a liar.I took a deep breath, squared my shoulders, and began the long walk down the grand staircase
