All Chapters of No Escape From Them : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Aurea’s POV The moment I stepped into the kitchen, the air in here suddenly felt different. It was heavier, charged with a strange, electrical tension. I was assigned to clean the guest rooms, a task that took me nearly three hours. Even though the rooms were immaculate and didn't require much deep cleaning, the sheer number of them was overwhelming.Why are there so many guest rooms here? I thought to myself as I wiped down a marble countertop. It was so weird. There were only three people living in this family—the twins and Nina—and Nina lived in her own penthouse, while the twins barely ever stayed here. Who were all these bedrooms for?Shaking off the thought, I finally headed down to the staff dining hall for lunch. Since I had skipped breakfast, my stomach was completely hollow and growling with hunger. I grabbed my plate and walked over to the usual table where Rita and I always sat, only to find her seat empty. Come to think of it, I hadn't seen a single glimpse of her since I

Aurea’s POV "You've had your run, Aurea," Vincenzo whispered, the anger in his voice turning into something much darker, much more possessive. "But you're going to regret it after tonight."My stomach dropped.The rain hammered against the glass, a frantic rhythm that matched the desperate thudding of my heart. I was pinned under the weight of his shadow as he moved with a terrifying, calculated stillness. Panic clawed at my throat. Before I could process anything, Valerius scooped me up into his arms and tossed me onto the massive, silk-sheeted bed, pulling me back to reality. I scrambled backward, trying to claw my way to the headboard, my mind screaming at me to find an exit, any exit. But Vincenzo caught my right ankle in a vice grip. With one effortless tug, he dragged me back beneath him."You wanted to run, princess," Vincenzo whispered, his voice dangerously low. "Now, we are going to make sure you can't even stand for days." He reached out for the silk ties at the edge of t

Aurea’s POV “Hmm...” I groaned as I felt something heavy on me. My eyes fluttered open to the unfamiliar environment around me. “Ouch,” I hissed as a sharp pain tore through my chest.I moved my eyes downward to find the twins. Vincenzo's face was buried in the soft curve of my chest, his lips marking my skin with his hands kneading my waist, while Valerius’s face was buried in the crook of my neck with my nipple between his fingers. I tried to sit up, but I couldn't. Tears began running down my cheeks. How did I get myself into this? I thought.“P-please... I-I want to use the restroom,” I said in a tiny voice, desperately trying to get away from them.Somehow, that seemed to work. Valerius stood up first, wearing nothing but a pair of shorts. I quickly pulled my gaze away from him. Vincenzo picked me up bridal style, lifting me slowly from the bed as though I were made of glass.“How are you, Princess?” Vincenzo groaned, hiding his face in my hair and inhaling deeply. “You smell so

Ethan’s POVSeventeen grueling years had passed since their little sister was snatched from right under their noses. The loss of June had carved out a hollow space inside the Valli brothers. She had been their absolute world. At eleven years old, Ethan had been entirely powerless to stop the kidnapping, forced to watch his family shatter alongside his younger brothers—Julian, who was only eight at the time, and Roman, who was just six.The tragedy had a devastating effect on them all. Though Julian and Roman were just boys, they had been forced to grow up in the cold shadow of grief. Julian had suffered the worst, turning into a block of pure ice. He and June had been inseparable, the best of friends. Julian was the one who had affectionately given her the name June, simply because it matched his own initials.To escape the suffocating misery of their estate, Ethan eventually threw himself into managing their operations in Australia, burying his head in corporate files to numb the pai

Alessia( the adopted daughter of the Valli family) POVThe bass in The Neon Den vibrated through the soles of my Louboutins, thumping in perfect synchronization with the expensive champagne rushing through my veins. I was laughing, my head tilted back as Chloe and Bianca recounted some mindless gossip about a senator’s son. I was the center of attention. I was always the center of attention. As the daughter of the Valli empire, the world bowed at my feet, and tonight was no exception."Alessia, seriously, you need to tell your brother Julian to look my way just once," Chloe giggled, leaning over the booth, her eyes glassy from the cocktails. "He’s practically a god."I smirked, swirling the golden liquid in my crystal flute. "Julian doesn’t look at anyone, darling. Don't take it personally."Suddenly, my phone buzzed violently, I pulled out the device, the glowing screen reflecting in my eyes. My smile froze, making the champagne in my stomach instantly turn to blocks of ice.She’s co
