The helicopter blades thundered overhead as the Royal Council's convoy disappeared beyond the heavy monastery gates, leaving a dense, suffocating silence in its wake.Lorrie remained standing beside Lorenzo on the stone steps, her fingers still securely intertwined with his. She had spoken without a single shred of hesitation before the council's lawyers.> *“I chose my husband.”*> The words continued to echo deeply in Lorenzo's mind. For a man who had spent his entire life believing trust was a calculated weakness, those four words felt heavier than any blood oath he had ever taken.Later that evening, Lorrie stood alone on the stone balcony outside their private quarters. The midnight sea stretched endlessly beneath the silver glow of the moon, casting long shadows over the cliffs.She heard the heavy balcony door slide open behind her. Without looking back, the familiar, grounding scent of cedar and rain told her exactly who it was."You've been quiet," Lorenzo noted softly.She s

# Chapter Ninety-Four: No One Takes Mrs. DimitriThe monastery courtyard fell completely silent.On one side stood the Shadow Wolves, their automatic rifles raised with lethal precision. On the other stood the Royal Guard in polished ceremonial armor, handles on their sidearms. Between them stood Lorenzo Dimitri.Victor Hale slowly, deliberately unfolded the royal decree. "By the authority of the Royal Council of Arden, Princess Aurora is hereby ordered to return to the Royal Palace until the succession hearing is concluded." He looked directly past Lorenzo's shoulder to lock eyes with Lorrie. "This is not an arrest. It is royal protection."Matteo let out a harsh laugh from the flank. "Liar."Victor ignored him entirely. "Princess Aurora, we ask that you come with us willingly."Lorrie didn't move an inch. Instead, she looked up at Lorenzo. His face remained an unreadable, chiseled mask, but his hand quietly reaching back for hers betrayed everything he was feeling. She slipped her f

The war room remained silent long after Dante's message ended. No one moved. No one spoke.Lorenzo stood perfectly still, his gray eyes fixed on the dark screen. His voice was barely above a whisper when he spoke: "He wants my wife."Matteo slammed his fist onto the table. "Over my dead body."Gabriel quickly pulled up the diagnostic windows for Dante's transmission. "I've already started tracing the signal.""Anything?" Lorenzo demanded."It's bouncing through twelve different satellite relays," Gabriel muttered, tapping furiously on his keyboard.Matteo groaned, crossing his arms. "So... nothing."Gabriel sighed. "He wanted us to try."Lorrie quietly stepped into the room, her footsteps soft against the stone floor. "I heard everything."Lorenzo immediately walked toward her, his jaw set. "You shouldn't be here.""Why?""Because from this moment... you don't leave my sight."She looked straight into his eyes. "I won't hide.""You won't have a choice."She folded her arms, raising an

The monastery was unusually quiet.Not peaceful.Waiting.Everyone could feel it. Storms always came after silence.Lorenzo stood in the war room studying tactical maps while Gabriel traced every financial transaction linked to the Swiss account.Nothing. Every trail disappeared into dead ends.Matteo tossed another file onto the wooden table with a heavy thud. "Dante is a ghost."Gabriel sighed, rubbing his tired eyes. "Ghosts leave footprints.""This one doesn't."Lorenzo finally spoke, his voice low and calculating. "Then stop looking for footprints. Find what he's protecting."Gabriel looked up, blinking. "That's... actually a good idea."Matteo smirked, leaning back against the desk. "Our Boss is thinking like a husband now."Lorenzo raised an eyebrow. "And what exactly does that mean?""You've become patient.""I've always been patient."Matteo burst into laughter. "No. You used to solve problems with bullets. Now you solve them because your wife would be disappointed."Even Lor

The transmission ended. Silence swept through the monastery. No one moved. No one even breathed.Lorenzo slowly looked around the war room. The Chancellor's final words echoed in everyone's mind:> *"...the person you're looking for is already inside the monastery."*> Matteo broke the silence. "Well... that's comforting."Gabriel immediately shut down every digital communication channel. "I've sealed the network. No outgoing calls, no incoming signals. If there's a spy... they're trapped in here with us."Lorenzo nodded, his gaze turning to iron. "Lock down the monastery. No one enters. No one leaves."Within minutes, the ancient stone monastery became an impenetrable fortress. Shadow Wolves guarded every hallway, keeping watch over every servant, guest, and soldier. Even the Royal Guards surrendered their sidearms before being cleared inside.Victor Hale didn't complain. "If there truly is a traitor... none of us are above suspicion."Lorenzo appreciated the discipline in that answe
