VIN’S POVThe cold night air hit my face the moment I stepped outside the building, but it did little to calm the storm raging inside me.As usual, Danny was waiting near the gate.The moment he noticed me approaching, he straightened from where he had been leaning against the car and silently opened the door. Without exchanging a single word, I slid into the back seat.The engine started almost immediately, and the car smoothly rolled away from the gate, heading toward the palace.For a while, neither of us spoke.Danny had been serving the royal family for most of his life. He had driven me since I was young enough to barely see over the car window. He knew when to talk and when silence was the wiser option.Still, his eyes were too sharp to miss anything.“What's wrong with your hand, Prince?”His voice was calm, but his gaze briefly flickered to the rearview mirror, watching me carefully.I glanced down at my hand.The injury was not obvious unless someone was really paying attent

CH-22

VIN’D POVThe cunning side of me thrived in this moment. I could feel it—every thought, every heartbeat, sharpening my focus. Two birds, one arrow. One touch on that soft, inviting skin, and one exquisite moment of humiliation for her. I let the thought linger, savouring it. A small smirk crept onto my lips. Today, I would play, and she would not even know the rules yet.I moved my hand slowly, deliberately, tracing the familiar curve and then withdrawing, just to return. Every motion measured. Every brush of my fingers against her skin was a promise, a warning. My heart thumped with the sudden urge to kiss her, to taste her, but I swallowed it. Control was my weapon, and I would not betray it.Nate prowled beside me, low purrs vibrating in the quiet room. He wanted her. He wanted to bury his face in her hair, to feel her warmth. But he knew he could not. Not when I was here. She was mine.I let my gaze roam, slow and deliberate. Through the mirror, I watched her—she did not see the p

Ch-23Gia’s POVVincenzo left the hall immediately after the ceremony, and I knew exactly why. His sour mood was impossible to miss, and yet, while I had expected it, the sting of his indifference still pricked sharply. This new beginning, this arrangement—he treated it with cold disregard.Could I complain? Could I voice my frustration when I already knew that his behaviour was inevitable, perhaps even worse than I feared? He had never liked this, and he proved it in the first hour.My eyes stung with dejection, but my resolve remained unshaken.Brother had warned me long ago: if I wanted Vincenzo in my life, I would have to walk on thorns and fire. And his ignorance—his icy, unyielding ignorance—was the first blaze. The first cut that sears the heart when you tread the flames.“Gia, now that you are both engaged, I’d like you to receive the blessings of our Moon Goddess. Why don’t you get ready? If we leave immediately, we will be back by dinner,” Nanny’s gentle voice brought me out

VIN’S POVThe moment he entered my chamber; my eyes were fixed on him. Just him. Nothing else existed in that room for me at that moment.I did not break the stare. Not even once.I knew exactly what he was trying to do. He was trying to intimidate me… to scare me with that piercing gaze of his that could easily make anyone crumble. But I refused to show him that satisfaction. I stood there, stubbornly holding his gaze, refusing to look away first.However, the very moment I became aware of the state of my clothes, embarrassment crept up my spine like a slow burning fire.My blouse was open from the back. My scarf was nowhere around me. My skin—far more exposed than I had ever allowed him to see—was practically on display.And he noticed.Oh, he noticed everything.I could see it in his eyes.I could feel it in the way his gaze slowly moved over me, unhurried, deliberate, almost predatory. He was

But I know it will not be an easy task.Vincenzo Accardi was not a man who bent easily. Stubborn would be too soft a word for him. Obstinate fit better — carved in stone, immovable, untouchable.Yet the way he had said those words earlier still echoed in my mind.My woman.The memory alone made heat rise to my cheeks.He might hate this marriage. He might resent every moment of it. But that declaration… it meant something. It meant that no matter how unwilling he was, he still acknowledged the bond between us.He knew I belonged to him.And I knew he belonged to me.Whether he liked it or not.His words had revealed one important truth — Vincenzo valued rules, legacy, reputation. The Accardi name meant everything to him.And because of that, he would never allow anything to tarnish it.Not even me.A small smile tugged at my lips.He had already claimed me without r

Who made it?”His question echoed in my ears.For a second, I genuinely wondered if I had heard him wrong.Who made it?What kind of question was that?Of course, a tattoo artist made it. Who else could possibly make a tattoo?Though, technically… it was my friend. Back then she had just started learning. A nervous beginner experimenting with needles and ink.Now she was one of the most sought-after tattoo artists.But that was not the point.Why did it matter to him?Why was he asking?I looked up at him, confusion swirling in my mind.Men.Sometimes I truly believed they were a different species altogether.And Vincenzo… he was not just complicated.He was an entirely different level of complication.His thumb was still tracing the outline of the tattoo slowly, almost thoughtfully, and I could feel my pulse fluttering under his touch

Walking toward my bed, I grabbed the glass of water resting on the side table and gulped it down in one go.Cold water slid down my throat, but it did little to calm the chaos still running through my veins.My heart was still beating faster than usual.That man.Just the thought of him made my stomach twist.I pressed my palm against my chest, taking a slow breath as I tried to steady myself.“Calm down, Gia,” I muttered quietly to myself.But calming down after that encounter was easier said than done.His touch still lingered on my skin like a phantom sensation.The way his thumb had traced my tattoo…The way his breath had brushed against my neck…The way his voice had lowered when he called me princess.Heat crept up my neck again, and I quickly shook my head.“Nope. Not thinking about that.”I glanced at the clock on the wall

Gia’s POVThat reminded me of my phone.Instinctively, my eyes moved toward the table where I clearly remembered placing it earlier. But the surface was empty.My brows knitted together.Where did I leave it?I quickly checked the nearby console and even glanced at the couch, but it was nowhere to be seen.Did I leave it in my room?Most likely.Letting out a small sigh, I turned around and started walking toward the stairs, mentally retracing my steps from the morning.But before I could even take two proper steps—“She will stay in my room.”The deep, controlled voice stopped me in my tracks.My entire body froze.She?The word echoed in my head like a sharp knock against a door I was not ready to open.Slowly, I turned my head.Vincenzo stood near the hallway, his posture relaxed as if he owned every inch of space around him—which, technically, he did.He noticed me the same moment.For a brief second our eyes met.Then his lips curved.Not a smile.A smirk.A deliberate one.“Plea

LORENZO’S POVMy hands moved instinctively to the clasp of her bra before she could protest any further.“My king, you are a shameless man,” she muttered under her breath.But before she could react properly, the soft click of the hook echoed in the quiet room. In one swift movement, I slid the bra from her shoulders and tossed it carelessly onto the floor. I stepped back just enough to admire the sight in front of me, letting her stand there, bare before me.My mouth almost watered like a predator that had finally caught its prey.God… look at her.Her soft, milky breasts swayed gently with her breathing. Even after three children, her body had only grown more beautiful—more full, more tempting. If anything, motherhood had added to her allure rather than taking anything away. She had grown at least two sizes since the first time I had held her like this.I inhaled deeply, filling my lungs as if trying to steady myself.“Stop staring at them like that, as if you’re seeing them for the

GIA’S POVStanding in front of the mirror, I examined my reflection carefully.The lemon-yellow co-ord set hugged my figure perfectly. The jacket-style top had a sleek slit running from the front down to my bra line, giving the outfit a sophisticated yet bold look. The matching tailored pants complemented the top beautifully, fitting me just right. I had paired it with a soft, elegant scarf that rested loosely around my neck.Long golden earrings brushed against my neck every time I moved my head. A touch of lip gloss added shine to my lips, and the thin line of kohl made my eyes appear sharper and more expressive.After slipping into my heels, I straightened my posture and stood confidently in front of the mirror.For a moment, I simply stared at myself.I noticed the slit of the jacket had risen slightly higher than I expected, revealing a small patch of skin on my abdomen. Instinctively, I adjusted my scarf, letting the fabric fall naturally over that area so it covered my fair ski
