Chapter 11: The War Has a Face

The car didn’t stop until they were deep to Villa Nero on the quiet outskirts of Milan. It was sleek, dark, and untouchable. Built with black stone and glass, it carried the cold, commanding elegance that mirrors Lorenzo himself. For Lorenzo and every other person who has connections with it, Villa Nero wasn't just a home, it was a fortress where power lives… and secrets don’t escape. The car drove through steel gates and armed guards. The mansion was equipped with layers of security that no one crossed without permission or consequence. It reeled to a stop in front of the glistening front lawn. The moment the car halted, the doors were already being opened. “Boss…” the valet began “Clear the area, no one comes near without my approval” Lorenzo cut in sharply. The men moved instantly. Matteo was out of the car before he could process it, his small hand still clutching Lorenzo’s shirt as if letting go meant everything would fall apart again. Lorenzo noticed but he didn

Chapter 12: The Truth That Burns

In the Main Hall on the right wing of the mansion, Lorenzo stood alone with his phone in hand. His mind was travelling tens steps ahead than usual with his dark eyes. Marco. The name echoed in his head like a warning and a promise. The approaching footsteps snapped him out of his thoughts, but he didn’t turn. “Isabella,” he called She stopped silent behind him. He could feel the tension, fear and hesitation. “You’re going to tell me everything,” he said calmly. It was a command and not a request. Isabella swallowed. “This is not the right time…” she began “It is exactly the time.” He retorted, turning slowly. “You ran because of something you saw,” he said. “Something big enough to make you disappear for five years.” Isabella’s chest tightened. “And now,” he continued, “my son gets taken the same night you come back.” as he took a step closer. “What did you see, Isabella?” he asked, stopping in front of her. She knew there was no escape as her heart pounded against her rib

Chapter 13: The Man Who Knew Too Much

The dull, heavy thud of his body hitting the floor echoed through Villa Nero, followed by silence. The kind that made breathing feel too loud. Isabella’s heart slammed against her ribs as she stared at the man on his knees. “No…” she whispered, blinking to make sure she wasn't seeing things. But he was real with bruises and blood all over his face and body. And looking straight at her. “Signora…” he choked out. That old title dragged her five years back in an instant. “Alessio…” she breathed. “You know him?.” Lorenzo’s gaze snapped to her. Isabella didn’t answer immediately, the truth was unraveling too fast. “He was the one,” she said finally, her voice tight. “He helped me escape.” The room shifted as all eyes turned to Loeenzo who in turn looked down at the man. Alessio was one of his trusted guards or so he had thought. “You helped my wife disappear,” Lorenzo said quietly. “No.. .no, Boss, it wasn’t like that,” Alessio shook his head quickly, panic flooding

Chapter 14: Inside the Walls

“Matteo’s room has been compromised.” Sofia’s voice cut through the air like a blade. Lorenzo shot across the room in seconds, faster than anyone ecpected. His entire presence shifting into something lethal and focused. “Shut down all internal feeds,” he ordered sharply. “I’m trying,” Sofia said, fingers already flying across the tablet. “Whoever planted that camera piggybacked on your system. It’s buried deep and too clean.” “Find it.” he clipped. “I will, but we don’t have much time.” she said, he eyes darting around the screen. And that was all Lorenzo needed to hear, he was already moving while Isabella followed behind instantly. “Wait…Lorenzo…” she began. “Stay behind me.” he clipped. “No,” she snapped, catching up to him. “That’s my son.” “Alright, fine,” he said, acknowledging her. They moved together. ***** The hallway was quiet, too quiet. The guards stationed outside Matteo’s room stood alert, but something was off. Lorenzo saw it immediately. “They’

Chapter 15: Burn It All Down

Sofia froze mid-typing as her eyes widened. “Lorenzo… we’ve got incoming.” she called, her voice cutting through the comms, sharp and urgent. “What kind of incoming?” Lorenzo asked, still holding the man he had pinned. Multiple vehicles with no plates and heavy heat signatures are speeding towards the estate” Sofia said as her fingers moved rapidly, pulling up external feeds. “Lorenzo…this isn’t a scare tactic.” she finished “They’re here to destroy the estate.” Lorenzo said, his eyes darkening. “What?!” Isabella’s gasped, Matteo clung tighter to her, fear creeping back in.. “Seal all exits, full lockdown” he ordered into his comm. Lorenzo released the man abruptly, shoving him to the ground. “No, open the east gate.” he ordered. His expression moving to cold and calculated. “Are you insane? You’re letting them in?!” Isabella turned to him sharply. “ No. I’m just controlling where they come in,” he replied. Outside the Villa Nero Perimeter, vehicles stormed towar

Chapter 16: Face to Face

The world went still. Lorenzo stood at the doorway, his chest rising slowly, eyes locked on the man in front of him. It was Marco and he wasn't on a screen, voice and a memory He was real and standing inside Villa Nero like he belonged there. Like he had never left. “You’re too late.” The words re-echoed. Lorenzo stepped inside, slowly. Each step heavy with something far more dangerous than rage. Control. “You walked into my house,” Lorenzo said quietly. “I built half of it with you,” he replied. “Don’t act surprised, we both know I know the blind spots.” Marco smiled, unbothered. Isabella pushed herself up from the floor, her breathing uneven. “Lorenzo…Matteo…” she stuttered. “I know,” he said, his eyes never left Marco. “Where is he?” Lorenzo asked. “You mean your son?” Marco tilted his head slightly, the emphasis was intentional and cruel. Lorenzo didn’t react or give him the satisfaction. “You came all this way,” Lorenzo continued, “just to run again?”

Chapter 17:The Game Begins

The room smelled like metal and dust, very cold and unfamiliar. Matteo sat on a narrow chair, his small hands gripping the edges as he tried to stay still. His eyes darted around the dim space, searching for anything he could recognize. But there was nothing, just mushy walls that were made visible by a single light above. The sound of footsteps was gradually approaching slowly and deliberately. They stopped in front of the door as the knob turned, the door creaked open and Marco walked in calm, controlled steps with a smile plastered on his face. He crouched down in front of the boy. “Hello handsome, let’s talk about your father..Shall we? Matteo stiffened, his heart pounded hard in his chest, but he didn’t speak. Marco still crouched in front of him, studied his face with unsettling interest. “You really do look like him, same beautiful eyes” he said softly. “Where’s my mommy?” Matteo asked. “She's, for now” he said, the smile still on his face. “I want to go ho

Chapter 18:The Devil’s Bargain

The silence that swallowed the room after the call ended, heavy and suffocating. No one moved or said a word because the decision sitting in front of Lorenzo wasn’t just dangerous, it was final. “There's no way you’ll be doing what I think you want to do, Lorenzo, absolutely not.”Isabella’s voice broke through first, sharp and yielding. But Lorenzo didn’t look at her as his gaze remained fixed on the dark screen. “He has given us his terms,” he said simply. “And you don’t need to follow them, for all we know, it could be a trap!” she snapped, stepping in front of him. “I know it’s a trap,” he replied. “Then why are we even discussing this?!” she asked, Isabella just stood speechless in the background. Finally, he turned and looked at her and the look she saw in his eyes made her pause, it wasn’t anger or recklessness. It was a certainty. “He killed a man in front of him, in front of my son who's barely out of kindergarten" Lorenzo said quietly. “Matteo saw that.” Isa

Chapter 19: The Trap Within the Trap

Lorenzo didn’t turn or even acknowledge the breath at his back.“You talk too much for someone who hides in shadows,” he said calmly.A soft chuckle echoed behind him as Marco stepped into view, circling slowly until he stood face-to-face with him.“There are no guards or backup, so you actually listened. That's impressive” Marco observed as he gave a faint smile.“I came.” Lorenzo’s gaze remained steady.Marco studied him carefully looking for any sign of hesitation or doubt but he found none. Interesting.“Walk,” Marco said, gesturing toward the open entrance of the underground facility.Lorenzo didn’t hesitate, he moved forward on controlled and measured steps as if he wasn’t walking into a trap but into something he already owned. ******Now inside the facility, the air was colder and damp underground. Every footstep echoed.Marco walked slightly behind him now, with his gun raised behind Lorenzo, always ready.“You’re quieter than usual,” Marco said. “No threats

Chapter 20: Zero Seconds

The beeping got faster, sharper and louder. Matteo’s eyes widened as he looked down at his wrist.“What is that…?” Matteo asked making Lorenzo’s heart slam hard against his ribs.A small, deadly bomb has just been strapped to his son's wrist.“Don’t move,” Lorenzo said, his voice low but urgent.Marco’s footsteps kept echoing toward the exit, unhurried and unbothered because he knew exactly what would happen next.“Time’s running out, Lorenzo,” he called casually over his shoulder.Lorenzo ignored him, his focus locked entirely on the device. It was blinking red and counting down with three seconds between each pulse and was gradually accelerating“Sofia, I need you now,” Lorenzo snapped into his hidden comm.“I see it,” Sofia’s voice came through after a little static, sharp and focused. “That small device is likely a motion-triggered failsafe, if you rip it off, it detonates.” “Then tell me how to disarm it.” he said.“I’m trying,just give me a visual… so I can judge better” she r
