Semua Bab THE CURSED NECKLACE: Bab 21 - Bab 27

The room fell into complete silence after Dante’s words.You knew I gave it to her.Elena’s heartbeat pounded loudly inside her ears as she slowly turned toward Roberto.He knew.All this timeHe knew she never stole the necklace.Then why?Why chase her?Why destroy her life?Why kill her family?The questions crashed violently through Elena’s mind one after another until she felt physically dizzy.Dante looked equally disturbed.“Roberto,” he said slowly, “what the hell is going on?”Roberto’s face revealed nothing.Cold.Controlled.Like the revelation changed absolutely nothing for him.“Leave.”The single word landed heavily in the room.Dante frowned immediately.“What?”“You heard me.”Roberto’s dark gaze remained fixed on him now.“You’re no longer welcome in this estate.”The atmosphere turned dangerous instantly.Dante laughed once softly in disbelief.“You’re throwing me out?”“Yes.”Roberto’s tone remained calm.Which somehow felt worse.Dante looked ready to argue—Then h

The silver glow beneath Elena’s skin intensified violently while unbearable heat rolled from her body in waves. One of the doctors backed away immediately. “She’s burning alive…” Another crossed himself repeatedly under his breath. The older physician stood frozen near the doorway, horror carved deeply into his face. Roberto ignored all of them. His entire focus remained on the girl in his arms. Elena writhed weakly against his chest, soft broken sounds escaping her lips while strands of dark hair clung damply against her glowing skin. The necklace around her throat pulsed brighter. Once. Twice. Then the room temperature dropped suddenly. Ice-cold air swept violently across the bedroom. Candles flickered. The curtains snapped upward despite the windows being shut. A guard near the door stumbled backward in fear. “What the hell is happening?” Roberto roared. No one answered. Roberto’s grip tightened instinctively around Elena as another violent tremor

Days passed without Roberto. At first Elena told herself she didn’t care. The Francesco estate felt easier to breathe in without him stalking its hallways with those cold black eyes and terrifying presence. No sudden commands. No possessive touches. No dangerous tension curling through every room whenever he entered. And yet… By the fourth day, Elena found herself listening for his footsteps anyway. By the sixth day, she started waking in the middle of the night expecting to find him sitting silently near the fireplace watching her. By the eighth— The silence began to feel wrong. The estate itself seemed different without Roberto inside it. Like the mansion had lost the monster living at its center. Every morning servants entered carrying gifts. Designer dresses folded carefully into silk boxes. Diamond necklaces. Perfumes imported from Paris. Shoes Elena was too afraid to even touch. “Lord Dante sent these for you.” The maids would smile excitedly while laying ever

The gunshot still echoed through the night when Elena screamed.“EDUARDO!”She shoved past Roberto violently.The cold night air lashed against her skin as she ran toward the balcony railing, her trembling hands gripping the stone edge desperately.Below—Eduardo lay collapsed against the grass.Blood spread darkly beneath him.Lantern light flickered across his massive frame while guards surrounded him cautiously with guns raised.“Elena…”Even injured—Even bleeding—He was still trying to get up.The sight shattered something inside her.“Elena, get away from the edge.”Roberto’s voice came from behind her.Calm.Too calm.Like he hadn’t just shot a man.Elena spun around so quickly her hair whipped across her face.“What did you do?!”Her voice cracked violently.Roberto stood near the balcony doors dressed entirely in black, one hand still loosely holding the gun at his side.Cold wind moved through his dark hair while his expression remained unreadable.“He trespassed.”Elena st
