Chapter 161 : chit chat with my ex wife

Dante’s POV“I’ll be back before you wake, Martina.” My voice was barely more than a whisper in the quiet bedroom.The first light of morning was only beginning to creep through the tall windows of the master suite, thin strips of pale gold sliding across the floor and climbing the edge of the bed. The estate was still silent. Most of the staff would still be asleep after the wedding celebration that had stretched late into the night.Martina didn’t stir. She lay on her side, one arm curled beneath the pillow, her dark hair spread across the white sheets. The soft rhythm of her breathing was steady, peaceful.For the first time in years, she looked completely at ease.I stood beside the bed for a moment, studying her face. The faint glow of the morning light touched the curve of her cheek, the silver locket still resting against her skin. She hadn’t taken it off before falling asleep.The remnants of the wedding night were scattered around the room. The diamonds she had removed before

Chapter 162: a mothers war

Elara’s POV“Marco…” My voice disappeared into the wind.The northern territory had always been cruel, but standing here now, I finally understood why Dante chose this place for punishment. The land stretched endlessly in every direction, nothing but jagged rock, dry earth, and clouds of dust carried by sharp, biting wind even breathing felt harsh in my lungs.I pulled my scarf tighter around my face and continued down the narrow canyon path.Ahead of me, the mines cut into the earth like a wound. Massive drills and rusted cranes stood scattered across the landscape, their metal frames groaning whenever the wind pushed against them. Floodlights hung from tall poles, throwing pale yellow light across the pit even though the sun had already begun to rise.It looked less like a workplace and more like a prison.“This place is meant to break men,” I muttered bitterly.That was Dante’s intention, here is for men he wanted erased… he sent them here instead, buried under rock and exhaustion

Chapter 163

Elara’s POV“I’m fine, Elara.” The line crackled as Isabella spoke, her voice thin and controlled.I leaned back in the driver’s seat, the engine of my car still running softly beneath me. The wind outside howled faintly against the windows, carrying dust across the barren ridge above the mines but through the phone, I could hear an entirely different world.The shouting in the distance, the hiss of a bus pulling to a stop and the low, constant hum of what sounded like a flickering neon sign.“I’ve made peace with it,” Isabella continued. “It’s quiet here. No one is trying to kill me and no one is watching my every move.”I said nothing.“I wake up when I want,” she went on, almost as if she were convincing herself. “I go where I want…No guards, No expectations.”Her voice softened slightly.“It’s… simple.”Simple?I almost laughed.“I’m safe,” she added quickly. “That’s more than I ever had before.”I let the silence stretch just long enough to make her uncomfortable.Then I spoke.A

Chapter 164: the Calm Before the Shift

Martina’s POV“You went to see her.” The words left my mouth the moment the doors opened.I had been pacing the length of the master suite for what felt like hours, the silk of my robe sliding softly against my skin with every step. The room was quiet, too quiet, and the silence had settled into something heavy that refused to lift.The bed behind me was still slightly rumpled, the sheets warm from where Dante had been lying earlier that morning. I had woken to emptiness, and I didn’t need anyone to tell me where he had gone because I already knew.The look on his face before he left had told me everything, it was the look of a man going to burn a bridge so it could never be crossed again.The door shut behind him with a soft click.Dante stepped inside, loosening his tie as he walked in, his movements controlled but slower than usual. His jacket hung slightly open, and there was a faint tension in his shoulders that hadn’t been there last night. He stopped when he saw me.For a brief

Chapter 165 :The Night the Lie Broke

Dante’s POV“You asked why I’m so hard on her, Martina.”The question lingered in the air between us after she spoke, and for a moment, I didn’t answer.I walked past her slowly and sat on the edge of the bed, my hands resting on my knees as I leaned forward slightly. The room felt quieter now, heavier than it had been before.Martina didn’t move. I could feel her eyes on me, watching, waiting.I exhaled slowly.“It’s not just anger,” I said finally. “It’s not something simple.”My voice sounded rougher than I expected.“Elara…” I paused briefly, searching for the right word, then shook my head slightly. “Elara is a grave.”Martina frowned faintly.“What do you mean?” she asked softly.“I mean,” I said, lifting my head to look at her, “she’s something that should have been buried a long time ago… but somehow it’s still there.”The silence stretched.“Everything changed one night,” I continued.Her expression grew more serious. “What night?” she asked.I looked away from her for a secon

Chapter 166: we’re having a baby!!!

Martina’s POV“You have me now, husband…The real thing.” The words came out softly, but I meant every part of them.Before he could respond, I stepped forward and wrapped my arms tightly around him.For a moment, he didn’t move, the I felt it…the tension still sitting in his body, the lingering weight of everything he had just confessed. It hadn’t left him yet. It was still there, buried beneath his control.I tightened my hold on him.“It’s over,” I murmured against his chest. “That’s not your life anymore.”His arms slowly came around me, pulling me closer.“This is real,” I continued. “No lies and no betrayal.”He exhaled quietly, his grip on me tightening just slightly.“No games,” I added.Dante rested his chin lightly against the top of my head.“Just you,” I said.His voice came low, almost rough.“And you.”For a brief moment, everything else faded and then a sharp knock shattered the silence.Dante’s arms loosened slightly, though he didn’t let go completely.“Yes?” he call

Chapter 167

Martina’s pov“I’m fine, Dante.”I said it the moment we stepped back into the Council chamber, my voice steady enough to quiet any questions before they could form. I took my seat beside him as if nothing had happened, smoothing my expression into calm control while the meeting resumed around us, the sound of reports and decisions filling the room like it always did.Inside me, nothing felt normal, my focus kept slipping, my hand rested lightly against my stomach beneath the table, a movement so subtle no one noticed. I barely noticed it myself at first, until I realized I hadn’t moved it for several minutes.A baby.The thought still didn’t feel real, even though I had seen the proof with my own eyes.“Southern routes remain secure,” one of the advisors said.“Good,” Dante replied beside me, his voice firm, controlled.I turned my head slightly to look at him.He wasn’t looking at the advisor, he was looking at me. His gaze narrowed just a fraction, the concern still there, still wa

Chapter 168

Dante’s POV“He’ll have your eyes.” I said as I rest my hand against Martina’s stomach, my palm spread carefully over her like I was trying to memorize the feeling. The night was quiet around us, the candles flickering softly, the air warm and still. For once, nothing was pressing in. No threats waiting on the other side of the next call, It was just this.She placed her hand over mine, holding it there.“You sound very sure,” she said.“I am,” I replied. “Boy or girl, it doesn’t matter. They’ll have your eyes.”She smiled faintly and leaned into me, her body fitting against mine like it always did.“And what else?” she asked. “What kind of life are you planning for this child?”I exhaled slowly, my gaze drifting toward the dark horizon.“Not mine,” I said. “That’s the first thing.”She tilted her head slightly, watching me.“No fear,” I continued. “No lessons about survival before they can even speak. No teaching them how to destroy before they learn how to live.”Her fingers tight

Chapter 169: the rebirth of a monster

Marco’s POV“At exactly 3:15 AM, the lights died.”One second, the mines were what they had always been dark, suffocating, controlled changed the next.The perimeter lights flickered once, twice, then shut down completely, plunging the entire compound into darkness. For a brief moment, there was silence…Then the explosions started.The first blast tore through the eastern shafts, shaking the ground beneath our feet. Dust rained from the ceiling, thick and choking, followed by another explosion that sent a deep, violent tremor through the walls.Men shouted and guards scrambled.“East side! Move!”“Get eyes on the breach!”Everything shifted in seconds. The guards ran toward the explosions, exactly where they were supposed to go. Exactly where someone wanted them to go.That left the rest of the perimeter open and I knew then… This wasn’t chaos, it was a plan.By the time the third explosion hit, the service gate was barely being watched. A transport truck rolled toward it, slow and st

Chapter 170: no loose ends

Marco’s POV “How did you do it, Mother?” My voice came out quieter this time.I didn’t look at her as I spoke. My attention stayed on the map spread across the metal table, my fingers dragging slowly along the outline of the Romano estate. The paper crinkled under the pressure, the edges already worn from how many times I had gone over it in my head.The warehouse smelled like oil, metal, and something faintly rotten beneath it all. The kind of place where things were hidden.My body ached as every step still carried the memory of the mines from the cold floors, the chains, the endless dark but the pain didn’t slow me down anymore, It fed me.Because I knew that place, I knew what it took to escape it and what happened tonight…That wasn’t survival, it was precision.My hand stilled on the map… Slowly, I lifted my head looking at my mother “You didn’t break that prison,” I said, my eyes locking onto hers. “You opened it.”She stepped forward, composed as ever, like we weren’t standi
