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

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

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

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

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
