Unspoken Desires - Chapter 21MatteoGabriella hasn’t said a word since we left the safe house. She’s been sitting stiff beside me, hands clenched in her lap, chewing the inside of her cheek like it’s the only thing keeping her from detonating.And yeah, I get it. She doesn’t trust me. Doesn’t like me. Thinks I’m a monster. Fair. I haven’t given her reasons to think otherwise.But if she doesn’t snap out of it soon, this mission is going to blow up in our faces. I don’t give a rats ass about any of them; or her guilt, or her unresolved romance drama with Maximus, or even whatever twisted loyalty she has to Sophia. I only care about one thing. Getting my mother and Sophia back, safe and unharmed.So I say it. Flat and sharp. “Look, Gabriella. I don’t give a fuck if you like me or not. But if you ruin this, if my mom or Sophia get hurt or killed because you can’t keep it together, I’ll take you all down. So stop glaring at me like a spoiled little princess and ask what you want to ask.”

Chapter 22

Unspoken Desires - Chapter 22DemetriusAs I pull up to the DeLuca house, Matteo and Gabriella were just pulling out. We nod as we pass at the gate. No need for anything more.“I’m heading in,” I say into the comms, flipping the mic on.“Gotcha,” Matteo replies. “Gabby thinks she saw Santino in the upstairs bedroom. He looked a bit battered. See what you can find.”“Copy that. You want me to keep comms on when she’s blowing me, or you good with a pause?” I smirk, already halfway up the drive.Silence. Not even a grunt.I park in my usual spot, tucked along the side where the cameras can’t catch me. After months of coming over to ‘take care’ of my boss, she made sure no one saw me coming. Or leaving.The door swings open before I reach it, and there she is, standing in a silk robe that barely qualifies as clothing. My own personal Mrs. Robinson.I step inside, turning to lock the door behind me. She doesn’t waste time.“Good afternoon, Demetrius,” she purrs, eyeing me like I’m dessert

Chapter 23

Unspoken Desires - Chapter 23GabriellaI follow Matteo through the grand front doors of the Cattaneo mansion, and immediately I feel out of place. This… wasn’t what I expected.Everything inside screams elegance; ornate gold-trimmed mirrors, carved crown molding, even the damn staircase looks like it belongs in a museum.The air smells like fresh wood polish and old money. Definitely not where I pictured a man like Matteo growing up. He seemed more… dirty apartments and empty whiskey bottles.He walks with purpose, barely glancing around, like he doesn’t even see the beauty of the place anymore. I trail behind him, trying to absorb it all without tripping over my own two feet.We move down a long hallway, across marble floors, passing beautiful oil paintings and glass sconces, until we stop in front of two tall oak doors.My comm crackles softly.“Okay, Gabs,” Max’s voice says, smooth in my ear. “If you want to talk to us, just squeeze the button in your jacket pocket. That broadcast

Chapter 24

Unspoken Desires - Chapter 24SareenaI’ve been sitting in my bedroom all morning, with the listening device in my ear. Listening to everything unfold.It finally hit me. This wasn’t a simple rescue. It was a full on mission; with rules, weapons, and real consequences. This had to be carefully orchestrated and painfully precise. Guns are involved, dangerous people and even people ending up kidnapped or dead.Every person had a role. Every move mattered. Every second carried weight, and risk.The more I listened, the more I realized… I wasn’t helping. I was just sitting here-spiraling.I yanked the device out of my ear. My heart was pounding. The stress was crawling up my spine like a thousand needles.That fight with Damian yesterday , still fresh in my mind. He wasn’t just angry. He was right. I haven’t been thinking. Of the consequences of my actions. But he needs to understand that I am a part of this and thats my family in there.I exhaled hard, stood up, and headed downstairs.Da

Chapter 25

Unspoken Desires - Chapter 25LessiaAfter my call with Cesare, I spent the rest of the day combing through every trade route deal between the Familia and the Camorra. Line by line. Shipment by shipment.It didn’t take long for me to notice the specific pattern.Only the shipments that veered off their original course were intercepted. And no driver ever changes course unless they’re told to.I compiled every flagged shipment and cross-referenced the origins of the requests. The discrepancies were glaring. A handful of names kept popping up, again and again. All from the same faction within the Familia. This wasn’t accidental, it was carefully planned.Which meant they weren’t just stealing, they were stockpiling and preparing for something bigger. All while keeping Mario and Luca in the dark.I cleaned up the report, encrypted the files, and sent it directly to Luca, Mario, and Genaro. One message attached: Time to start weeding your own garden.Just as I began locking Matteo’s syste

Chapter 26

Unspoken Desires - Chapter 26DamianWe all left the house shortly after Demetrius’s disturbing phone call.I still couldn’t wrap my head around why he was bragging about sleeping with a woman old enough to be his mother. Some part of me wanted to laugh at the absurdity; classic Demetrius. But another part of me, the one that had grown up, just couldn’t relate anymore.I used to be like that. Cold and detached. Chasing the thrill, not the meaning. Then Sareena came into my life and ruined all of that in the best possible way.I glanced into the rearview mirror. She sat in the far back, wedged between Matteo and Matthew’s gear bag. Her eyes were fixed on her phone, probably scanning the plan breakdown Matthew gave her before we left or she’s reviewing one of our maps. She looked focused. Calm, even. But I knew better.Her fingers were fidgeting, barely moving, just enough for someone like me to notice. Her shoulders were too tight, and she hadn’t spoken since we left the safehouse.I w

Chapter 27

Unspoken Desires - Chapter 27SareenaMatteo, Matthew, and Damian were going through their gear, laying everything out and deciding what they needed for the rescue. I stood on thesidelines, watching. Feeling like an outsider.Damian still hadn’t spoken to me. But I caught him looking, just for a second, when he thought I wouldn’t notice. I know I screwed up. I pushed him away when I should’ve let him in. I know I’m impulsive, that I act without thinking, and that I don’t know how to ask for help.That’s what happens when you grow up the way I did. No one was ever around to help me. I’ve always only had one person to depend on. Myself.One thing I’m sure of: I’ll be in therapy for years trying to unpack my childhood trauma.Needing space, I stepped outside and started walking the perimeter of the property. That’s when I noticed a narrow trail cutting behind the neighbors’ yards. I followed it for a few steps. It curved toward the abandoned complex where they were holding my family.I f

Chapter 28

Unspoken Desires - Chapter 28SophiaDamian reached us first, gently taking Grandpa and shifting the weight onto his own body.Max and Gabby rushed to help Grandma Alexandra, but Matteo, he lifted me into his arms like I weighed nothing. He didn’t say a word, just held me close.“An SUV and a limo,” I whispered hoarsely. “They pulled into the complex a few minutes ago. Connie and Sareena are still in there. You have to save them.”Matteo didn’t pause. Didn’t even blink. “You’re safe now, Principessa,” he murmured into my hair. “Just relax until we get you inside. We’ve got you now.”He was trying to be soothing, but I wasn’t sure he’d actually heard what I said.“I just need to get you safe,” he added, more to himself than to me. Then, with a little more urgency, he asked, “Where is my mother? Is she still coming?”I wanted to answer. Needed to answer him. But the words stuck in my throat.Matteo loves his mother; so how do I explain that Sareena got us out, but stayed behind to stabi

Chapter 29

Unspoken Desires - Chapter 29SareenaThe door slammed open.Svetlana and Maria walked in, side by side, not a single guard in sight, but we knew better. They were just outside. Close enough to hear everything.“Lana, you told me you cleaned Connie up,” Maria cooed, her voice sickeningly sweet. “This just won’t do.”“I do nothing until you bring me Matthew and Damian.” Svetlana shot back.Constance and I exchanged a look; the disbelief clear in both our eyes. These two had orchestrated 2 flawless kidnappings, and yet here they were, bickering like toddlers. Totally unprepared and disorganized.“Clean her up,” Maria snapped. “Alessandro’s going to wake up soon, and the Viagra will be in full effect.”I felt bile rise in my throat.“Show me proof you do your part,”Lana snapped back. “So far, all you Italian bitches give me is lies. Where is Matthew? Where is Damian?”“There’s a hose outside. Just spray her down. Make her look at least presentable, Miguel won’t buy it if she looks like t

Chapter 30

Unspoken Desires - Chapter 30MatteoHaving Sophia back safely meant everything, but the joy was short because right now, my entire focus was on one thing: my mom.Before we started moving, I called Dad to bring him up to speed. “Bring her back alive and safe. Kill anybody who touched her,” he ordered.I plan on doing worse than killing them. That would be showing mercy. I want them to suffer; slow, brutal and unforgettable. Every single one of them, anyone who laid a hand on my mother… or my fiancée.“Maria is back inside. Wait until the door closes. Then you can proceed to take out the front guards. And… go!” Davide’s voice crackled in my earpiece.My heart slammed against my ribs. Never in a million years did I think I’d be on a mission to rescue my own mother. But here I was, every hour of training, every violent memory, every scar—it all led to this.“Hey Maverick, we got four bogeys down, and we are good to go. Securing the front now,” Demetrius reported through comms.We advanc
