"That's not fair," Lorenzo said, anger creeping back into his voice. "Your son didn't respect our alliance either. We formed this alliance when they were kids. We wanted to unite our families. We wanted them to be together. But what did your son do? He ran up to New York. He started dating that American woman. He rejected Isabella publicly. He humiliated her in front of everyone."Antonio felt a flash of anger at the accusation, but he controlled it."Yes," Antonio said coldly. "He did. My son made a choice. He chose to pursue his own path rather than the path we'd laid out for him. And you're right....that was a betrayal of the alliance we'd formed."He paused."But the difference between my son and your daughter is this: my son pursued his choice openly. He didn't hide. He didn't sneak around. He didn't participate in schemes and conspiracies. He simply chose a different woman. Your daughter, on the other hand, has been actively conspiring against my son. She's been working with his

Dimitri looked at Eve, who was watching him with eyes full of love and admiration."This," Dimitri said simply. "Her. Building a life with her. Understanding what it means to actually choose my own path instead of following the one you laid out for me."Antonio was quiet for a long moment."I will keep telling you that you're making a mistake," Antonio said finally. "You're burning bridges that took decades to build.""Then I'll burn them," Dimitri said flatly. "Because I'm not spending the rest of my life trapped in an alliance I never agreed to, bound to a woman I don't love, living a life that someone else planned for me before I was old enough to have a say in it."He paused."Release the message to Lorenzo," Dimitri continued. "Tell him that Isabella will be released within forty-eight hours. Tell him that the alliance still stands, but on new terms. Tell him that those terms don't include me marrying his daughter.""And if he refuses to accept those terms?" Antonio asked."Then

Luca looked at him with the kind of expression that suggested he was choosing his words very carefully."You're in no position to get her back from Dimitri right now," Luca said simply. "You can't walk. You can barely move. And Dimitri controls the territory where she's being held.""I don't care," Dante said coldly."Listen to me," Luca said, leaning forward. "I suggest that you take your time. You heal. You recover. You become strong again. And in the meantime, Isabella is actually safer than you might think.""What do you mean?" Dante asked."The alliance," Luca said. "Everyone in the underworld knows about the Valentino-Russo alliance. That marriage was supposed to unite the families. That's been the plan since Dimitri and Isabella were children."Luca paused, letting that sink in."Dimitri won't kill her," Luca continued. "He won't destroy her completely. Because if he does, he risks war with the Russo family. And despite everything that's happened, Dimitri understands the politi

Dante's grip on the phone tightened. He remembered now, the rumors that had circulated through Roman circles when the news broke. An industrial accident, the official story said. But he'd heard enough whispers to know it wasn't true. He'd even had his own suspicions about who was responsible, though he'd never had proof. He'd been scheduled to visit that facility himself, once, on a matter of business with one of the previous directors, a meeting that got cancelled two weeks before the fire."What does that have to do with me?""Dr. Aleksandr Volkov doesn't exist," the voice said. "That was an alias. The man who destroyed our facility, who killed our people, who set our research back over a decade....his real name is Dimitri Valentino."Dante's heart was pounding now, blood rushing in his ears."You're certain of this?" he asked."Completely," the voice said. "We've spent months confirming it. Facial recognition. Biometric data. Financial trails that connect back to his operations. Th

The room went silent.Camilla's hand flew to her mouth."Isabella..." she started."That's why Dante," Isabella continued, unable to stop now that the truth was spilling out of her. "Because he was the only one who ever made me feel like I mattered to somebody, even if it was twisted, even if it started as something ugly. At least it was something. At least someone wanted me.""Enough!" Camilla's voice cracked through the room like a whip. "Enough, Isabella. Go to your room. Now."Isabella stood there for a moment, breathing hard, tears finally spilling over onto her cheeks.Lorenzo said nothing. He just stared at her with an expression she couldn't read, disgust, maybe, or something worse. Pity.She turned and fled the study, taking the stairs two at a time, her vision blurred with tears until she reached her old bedroom door and slammed it shut behind her.***Her room was exactly as she'd left it years ago. A shrine to the person she used to be before everything fell apart.Isabell
