CHAPTER 30

𝐏𝐎𝐕 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐎It had been hours.I didn’t know exactly how many.Maybe three.Maybe four.Time felt different in this room.Slower.Quieter.As if the world outside continued spinning normally, but inside, everything had been suspended.I was sitting in the armchair beside the bed, my elbows resting on my knees, watching Helena as she slept.She hadn’t moved much.Only small movements.Calm breathing.Steady heartbeats on the monitor.The rhythmic sound of the machine was the only thing breaking the silence. A low, constant sound… almost hypnotic.The nurses came in from time to time.They checked the equipment.Wrote something on the clipboard.Adjusted the IV.Spoke softly, almost in whispers, as if afraid of waking her.During one of those times, I stopped one of them.“Why isn’t she waking up?”The nurse looked at Helena, then at me.“She’s sedated, sir.”My jaw tightened.“Sedated?”“Yes. She arrived very agitated during the night. She kept waking up frightened, con

CHAPTER 31

𝐏𝐎𝐕 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐀I was still in his arms.And, for the first time… I didn’t want to pull away.Alessandro’s chest was firm against me, and I could feel his slow, controlled breathing as he held me carefully. As if he were afraid of hurting me.Or breaking me.My fingers were still gripping his shirt, and only then did I realize I was holding too tightly. Even so… I couldn’t let go.Because there… I felt safe.It was a strange feeling.Confusing.Almost absurd.I barely knew Alessandro.Even so… my body seemed to recognize him.My heart seemed to trust him.And that didn’t make sense.But it also… didn’t feel wrong.I closed my eyes for a moment, still leaning against him, feeling the warmth of his body, his subtle scent, and the security I hadn’t felt in days… maybe years.My breathing slowly calmed.The trembling in my body gradually faded.And he stayed there.Unhurried.Without pulling away.Without pressuring me.Just hold me.With time, my crying softened.My breathing returne

CHAPTER 32

𝐏𝐎𝐕 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐀As soon as Dom Vittorio entered the room, the air seemed to disappear.My entire body tensed.My heart started beating so hard that I feared he might hear it.He slowly closed the door behind him.Unhurried.Without saying anything.Just watching.His eyes moved across the entire room, slowly, as if searching for something. As if analyzing every detail. Every corner. Every shadow.My stomach twisted.Was he suspicious that I wasn’t alone?Did he know?My gaze, involuntarily, shifted toward the bathroom door.For just a second.But I quickly looked back.Trying to appear normal.Trying to appear calm.But I knew I wasn’t.My breathing was irregular.My hands trembled over the sheet.And I could feel it.Feel the fear growing inside me.He began to walk.Slow steps.Heavy.Each sound seemed to echo inside my head.Each step sounded louder than the last.He approached the bed.Instinctively, my body shrank back.I didn’t even realize I was doing it.But he noticed.He

CHAPTER 33

𝐏𝐎𝐕 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐎Behind the bathroom door, I heard everything.Every word.Every silence.Every trembling breath she took.And every sentence from my father was like gasoline being poured over a fire that was already out of control inside me.My hands were clenched into fists so tight that my knuckles turned white.My jaw locked.My entire body is rigid.“You are nobody.”I closed my eyes.The urge to walk out, open that door, and end it all once and for all was almost impossible to control.I wanted to kill him.Right there.In that moment.Without hesitation.“No one loves you, Helena.”My chest tightened.I ran a hand over my face, trying to control myself.I took a deep breath.But it didn’t help.Every word from him was tearing me apart inside.And not because he was my father.But because he was destroying her.“You only have me.”My fist hit the wall silently.My body trembled.I needed to control myself.If I walked out now…If I confronted my father…Everything wou

CHAPTER 34

𝐏𝐎𝐕 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐎I didn’t sleep.Not even for a second.I spent the entire night sitting in the armchair beside the bed, watching Helena sleep.The dim light in the room softly illuminated her pale face. Her delicate features looked even more fragile while she slept, as if any sudden movement might break her.My gaze traced every detail.Her long eyelashes rested against her fair skin.Her slow breathing.Her hair spread across the pillow.She looked thinner.Weaker.And that bothered me more than I cared to admit.My chest tightened as I remembered my father’s words.My jaw immediately locked.“You are nobody.”“You have no one.”“You only have me.”Each sentence still echoed in my head, like poison slowly spreading.She didn’t deserve that.She didn’t deserve any of this.And yet…She was trapped in that hell.And I…I couldn’t take her out of it.Not yet.I ran a hand over my face, exhausted but unable to look away from her.There was something about Helena that pulled m

CHAPTER 35

𝐏𝐎𝐕 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐎As soon as the car passed through the property gates, I felt the familiar weight of that place.The mansion appeared before me, as imposing as ever.Cold.Silent.Dangerous.It was strange how that place had always felt like home… and a prison at the same time.I spent years inside those walls.I learned to observe.I learned to control myself.I learned to hide any emotion.In that house, showing weakness was never an option.And now… for the first time in a long time, I was feeling something I couldn’t completely control.Helena.The car slowly stopped at the main entrance.The silence felt heavier than usual.I stepped out of the car, and the cold morning air hit my face, but it wasn’t enough to ease the tension inside me.And, just as I expected, Bruno was waiting for me.Leaning against one of the entrance pillars, arms crossed, with a tense expression.As soon as he saw me, he straightened and walked toward me.“So…” he exhaled, running a hand over hi

CHAPTER 36

𝐏𝐎𝐕 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐎As soon as I left my father’s office, I felt the weight of that conversation fall onto my shoulders.Heavy.Suffocating.Dangerous.It was as if every word spoken there still echoed inside my head. As if I were still in that room, being watched, analyzed, and tested.My father never did anything by chance.And that conversation…It hadn’t just been a conversation.It had been a warning.I didn’t need to look back to know Bruno was coming right behind me.The silence between us lasted the entire walk down the hallway. Our footsteps echoed softly, controlled, but the tension between us was obvious.As soon as I entered my office, I walked straight to the desk.Bruno came in right after me and shut the door firmly.“That wasn’t good,” he said, nervously.I removed my jacket slowly, placing it over the chair.“It never is.”Bruno ran a hand over his face, visibly restless.“No, Alessandro… this was different.”I didn’t respond.I opened the drawer and took out

CHAPTER 37

𝐏𝐎𝐕 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐀I watched Alessandro disappear into the closet.My heart was beating so hard I was afraid Dom Vittorio might hear it from the other side of the door.I took a deep breath.Once.Twice.Three times.But it didn’t help.The air felt like it wasn’t reaching my lungs. My breathing remained short and irregular, and my hands were far too cold.The doorknob turned again.“Helena.”His voice sounded more impatient.My stomach twisted.My hands trembled.Even so, I walked toward the door.Each step felt heavy.As if my feet were glued to the floor.As if my own body were trying to stop me from opening it.I unlocked the door.And opened it.Dom Vittorio stepped inside slowly.Like a predator.His dark eyes swept across the entire room.Every corner.Every detail.My heart raced.Did he suspect?Did he know Alessandro was there?I instinctively took a few steps back.He noticed.And smiled.A cold smile.Mocking.“I really don’t understand you.”He walked slowly across the r

CHAPTER 38

𝐏𝐎𝐕 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐑𝐎Helena was sleeping in my arms.Her body was partially draped over mine, her head resting on my chest, her soft breathing warming my shirt.I remained still.Not daring to move.Afraid of waking her.The dim light from the bedside lamp illuminated the room, creating soft shadows on the walls. The silence was deep, broken only by her breathing… and the sound of my own heartbeat.I had never gone through something like this.Never.Women had shared my bed before.But never like this.Never with that strange feeling of… wanting to protect.My gaze traced her face.Her long eyelashes.Her relaxed expression.Her small body nestled against mine.She looked… at peace.And that hit me in a way I couldn’t explain.Because I knew.I knew that peace only existed because I was there.And that was dangerous.Very dangerous.My hand, almost by instinct, slowly moved up to her hair.I ran my fingers through it carefully.Helena shifted slightly.My body tensed.But she o

CHAPTER 39

𝐏𝐎𝐕 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐀The door closed silently behind Alessandro.I remained still on the bed.The room still seemed filled with his presence.The pillow still held his warmth.My skin still remembered his touch.My heart… was still beating fast.The noises in the hallway continued.Footsteps.Voices.Movement throughout the house.He had left just in time.If someone had seen him there… everything would have been lost.But still…When I realized he had truly gone…I felt a strange emptiness.As if something had been pulled away from me.I took a deep breath and ran a hand over my face.My heart took a while to slow down.Then I leaned back against the headboard.And, for the first time since waking up…I allowed myself to think.To think about him.To think about everything.It was strange.Very strange.Because I felt safe.Safe beside a man I barely knew.Safe beside the son of the man I feared the most.My throat tightened.How was that possible?How could father and son be so diffe
