Morning light filtered through the windows of Romano headquarters.For the first time in days, the mansion felt quieter.The sounds of gunfire had been replaced by soft voices and hurried footsteps as doctors moved through the halls.Lucia sat on the bed in one of the guest suites while a doctor finished examining her.He smiled reassuringly as he closed his medical bag. "You will be alright, Lady Lucia.""You have a few bruises, cuts, and exhaustion, but you'll recover completely.""You need rest." Lucia nodded gratefully. "Thank you."As the doctor left the room, the door suddenly opened again. "Lucia!"Bianca rushed inside before anyone could stop her. Tears filled her eyes as she threw her arms around Lucia. "I was so scared.""I thought..." Her voice broke.Lucia hugged her tightly. "I'm here.""I'm okay."Bianca pulled back just enough to look at her. "You scared all of us." Lucia smiled weakly. "I know.""I'm sorry."Another familiar voice came from the doorway. "You don't ever

Morning sunlight spread across the Romano estate, warming the stone pathways that had once echoed with hurried footsteps and urgent orders.Only a few days had passed since the mastermind's arrest, yet everything already felt different.Workers repaired damaged walls where bullets had left their mark. Gardeners replaced flowers that had been destroyed during the fighting. Security guards still stood at every entrance, but their expressions were calmer than before.For the first time in months, there were no emergency meetings waiting for Alessio.The empire was finally breathing again.Alessio stood on the balcony outside his office, quietly watching the estate come back to life.Marco stepped beside him, holding a folder. "The last report," he said.Alessio accepted it and scanned the page.The remaining rival territories had surrendered peacefully. Romano businesses were reopening one after another. The surviving neutral families had officially recognized the alliance between the Ro

The Romano convoy sped through the city streets, but this time there were no gunshots, no explosions, and no enemy vehicles in pursuit.Inside the lead SUV, Bianca leaned back against the seat, breathing carefully as another contraction washed over her.“I think they’re getting stronger,” she said, forcing a small smile.Matteo looked ready to faint.“Stronger?” he repeated. “Shouldn’t we already be at the hospital? Alessio, tell the driver to go faster. Marco, call ahead. Someone make sure the doctor is waiting. We need—”“Matteo.”Alessio’s calm voice cut through the panic. “She’s fine. We’ll be there in a few minutes.”“But what if—”“She’s fine.”Lucia couldn’t help laughing softly. “So this is the fearless Matteo Romano?” she teased. “The man who walked into a battlefield without blinking?”Marco chuckled from the seat behind them. “I liked him better during the war. He was much calmer.”Everyone laughed except Matteo. “This isn’t funny.”“It is a little funny,” Bianca said betwe

The morning sun streamed through the bedroom curtains, casting warm golden light across the room.Lucia stood in front of the mirror fastening the last button of her blouse before reaching for her handbag.She glanced toward the bed.Alessio was already awake, leaning against the headboard with a cup of coffee in one hand. “You’re leaving already?” he asked.“I have a meeting with my design team in an hour.”She picked up her phone and headed for the door. Before she could reach it, Alessio spoke again. “You’re not working today.”Lucia stopped and slowly turned around.“I’m not?” He shook his head. “No.”She folded her arms. “Since when do you make my schedule?”A rare smile tugged at his lips. “Since I decided my wife deserves one day without thinking about work.”Lucia tried to look annoyed. “You planned this?”“I did.”“You canceled my meetings?”“I asked your assistant to move them.” She stared at him for a few seconds. “You went behind my back.”“I prefer to think of it as a sur

Morning sunlight stretched across the Romano estate, casting a glow over the gardens.The mansion was already awake.Workers moved between flower beds, carefully arranging fresh white roses along the pathways. Others polished the marble floors inside the grand hall until they reflected the light from the crystal chandeliers above.Long banquet tables were being decorated with elegant centerpieces. Staff carried trays, folded linen napkins, and checked every detail twice.Near the main gates, security teams quietly inspected vehicles, tested communication devices, and reviewed guest lists one final time.Unlike the months of war, there was no fear in their movements. Everything was calm.Organized. Purposeful. Lucia stepped out onto the front terrace and paused.A gentle breeze carried the scent of fresh flowers through the air. She slowly looked around the estate.The first time she had arrived here as Alessio’s bride, the mansion had felt cold and unwelcoming.Every hallway had seeme
