Not Again

Dimitrio's Pov We rode back to the estate in silence, the weight of everything we had learned pressing down on both of us like a physical thing. The moment we reached the gates, I called for a war council, and within the hour, my top men had gathered in the main hall, maps spread across the long table, faces grim in the lamplight. "Antonio's dead," I said, addressing the room. "His generals now command the army outside our walls. They've given us twenty-four hours to deliver the heirloom, or they burn this estate to the ground." "Twenty-four hours," Matteo repeated. "That's barely enough time to reach Catania and back, let alone locate it inside the house." "There's more," Serena said, stepping forward beside me. "The heirloom isn't just wealth. It's records. Names, accounts, secrets belonging to every major family across the Mediterranean. Whoever holds it holds power over all of them." A heavy silence settled over the room as the men absorbed what she had said. "That changes

Journey to Catania

Serena's Pov Dawn had barely broken over the estate when I climbed into the car, Elena beside me, two of Dimitrio's most trusted guards taking the front seats."Are you sure about this?" Elena asked quietly as the car pulled away from the gates."No." I watched the estate shrink in the rear window. "But I don't have a choice anymore."Dimitrio stood at the top of the front steps, unmoving, his figure growing smaller with every passing second until the road curved and he disappeared from sight entirely.I had not wanted to leave him standing there like that. The look on his face when we said goodbye had stayed with me since the moment I climbed into the car, something between fear and resignation, a man forcing himself to let go of the one thing he could not bear to lose."He'll be alright," Elena said."I know." I kept my eyes on the window. "I just wish I believed it as easily as I said it."The drive stretched long, the estate's familiar hills giving way slowly to the wider Italian

Ghosts of the Past

Serena's Pov I spun toward the sound of the voice, my hand instinctively reaching for the guard closest to me, my heart hammering so hard I could feel it in my throat.From the shadows of the far hallway, a figure emerged slowly into the dim light filtering through the dusty windows. An old woman, small and frail, her back slightly bent with age, but her eyes sharp and alert, fixed directly on me with an intensity that made the breath catch in my chest."Who are you?" My voice came out sharper than I intended, fear bleeding into every word."My name is Rosa." She stepped closer, leaning on a wooden cane with each careful movement. "Rosa Marino.""Marino." I stared at her. "That's not possible. My mother said there was no one left. She said the family was gone.""Your mother believed that too, for many years. I let her believe it. It was safer that way, for both of us.""I don't understand. Who are you to me?""Your great-aunt. Your grandfather's younger sister. I have lived in the sh

Sold Secrets

Serena's Pov I sat down slowly on an old wooden chair near the study door, my legs suddenly unwilling to hold me upright any longer."Tell me everything. From the beginning."Rosa lowered herself into the chair across from me, resting both hands on top of her cane. "Our family did not begin as saints. Generations ago, your ancestors ruled much of Sicily. Not through titles or crowns, but through fear, through information, through knowing exactly which secrets could destroy which men.""Mafia lords," I said quietly."Among the first. Before Giacomo Esposito. Before Dimitrio's father. Before any of the families you know today held any real power. Our bloodline built the foundation this entire underworld still stands on.""And the heirloom. That's where they kept it. The information.""Exactly. Over decades, they collected it. Names. Secrets. Betrayals. Every family that rose to power across Europe eventually crossed paths with ours, and every one of those encounters left a record hidde

Safety Deposit Box

Serena's Pov The weight of everything Rosa had told me pressed down on my chest, but I forced myself to my feet regardless."I still need it. Whatever danger comes with it, I don't have a choice. If I don't bring it back, Ricci's men burn the estate at dawn tomorrow.""Then let us not waste any more time." Rosa rose slowly from her chair, leaning heavily on her cane as she led me toward the study.The room was small, lined with empty shelves stripped of whatever books had once filled them, a single window letting in weak, dust-filtered light. Rosa pointed toward the far corner, near where the window met the wall."There. Beneath the third board from the wall."I knelt down, running my fingers along the edges of the old wooden planks until I found the one that gave slightly beneath my touch. One of the guards knelt beside me, working a knife carefully under the edge, prying the board loose with a groan of old, dry wood.Beneath it, nestled in a shallow space carved directly into the e

Matteo Valenti

Serena's Pov I stepped out into the overgrown yard, phone pressed to my ear, waiting for Dimitrio to answer."Serena." He picked up on the second ring, relief flooding his voice immediately. "Are you alright? Did you find it?""I found it. We have the heirloom. A journal, full of names, exactly what Ricci described.""Thank god. Bring it back as soon as you can. I want you home, safe, behind these walls.""There's something else. The heirloom has a tracking device built into it. Someone can locate whoever carries it, at any time, as long as they know the code."Dimitrio was quiet for a moment. "Does Ricci know about that?""I don't know, someone does. Antonio sold the information before he died. To a buyer.""Do you know who?" His voice tightened."Not yet. I'm working on it. We're leaving for the estate within the hour. I'll explain everything when I'm home.""Be careful. Please. I've already lost too many hours of sleep imagining every way this could go wrong.""I will. I love you.

Proof

Serena's Pov Rosa studied me for a long moment, her expression difficult to read in the dim light of the small room. "You are more careful than your mother was," she said finally. "Lucia would have confronted him the moment she saw those letters." "My mother is dead because she confronted the wrong people too soon. I'm not going to make the same mistake." "Then what will you do?" "I'll watch him. I'll pay attention to everything he says and does. If he's truly working against Dimitrio, he'll slip up eventually. And when he does, I'll have real proof." "And if you're wrong? If the letters mean nothing?" "Then no one gets hurt. And Dimitrio never has to know I suspected his closest friend of betraying him." Rosa was quiet for a moment, her eyes searching my face. "You understand what you're taking on," she said. "If Matteo truly is working against Dimitrio, he has had years to perfect his lies. He knows every weakness in that estate, every guard rotation, every secret Dimitrio

Package Arrives

Dimitrio's Pov I stood at the war room table, staring down at a map of the estate grounds, marking positions for the men Matteo had already begun repositioning along the outer wall."Double the archers here," I said, pointing to the eastern section. "And here. If Ricci's men come at dawn, I want them met with resistance the moment they breach the tree line.""Already moving them." Matteo made a note on the map. "The southern wall is fully reinforced. We lost some materials in the last attack, but the men worked through the night to patch what we could.""Good." My mind kept drifting, unable to stay fixed entirely on the task in front of me."You're distracted," Matteo said, glancing up from the map."I spoke to Serena a few hours ago. She sounded strange. Guarded, almost. Like she was holding something back.""She's under a lot of pressure. Retrieving the heirloom, learning everything Ricci told her about it. Anyone would sound strange under those circumstances.""Maybe." The unease

Riding Out

Dimitrio's Pov The road stretched dark and empty ahead of us, the only light coming from the moon half-hidden behind thick clouds, casting the countryside in shades of grey and black."How far to Catania?" I called out to the rider on my right."Four hours at this pace, Don," he shouted back over the wind. "Maybe less if we don't stop.""Then we don't stop."We rode hard through the night, the horses breathing heavy beneath us, hooves pounding against the packed dirt of the road. Every mile that passed felt both too slow and too fast, my mind trapped in a loop of fear and fury, replaying the photograph over and over, the note, the strange guarded tone in Serena's voice during our last call."Don," the rider on my left called out, "we should slow down. The horses won't last at this pace.""They'll last," I said. "Push them.""If we lose a horse out here, we lose time. We're already riding them harder than they can take.""Then we lose time later. Right now, every minute matters."The

General in Shadows

Serena's Pov The road back to Rome stretched dark and empty ahead of the car, the heirloom sitting heavy in the bag on my lap, though nothing about its weight compared to the heaviness pressing down on my chest. "You've barely said a word since we left Catania," Elena said quietly from beside me. "There's a lot on my mind." I could not stop replaying the photograph Rosa had shown me, Matteo's profile clear and unmistakable beside Antonio outside that café. I thought about every moment since I had arrived at Dimitrio's estate, every time Matteo had stood at his side, fought beside him, pulled him bleeding from that cave. None of it made sense if he had truly been working against us the entire time. "You don't believe it," Elena said, watching my face carefully. "I don't know what I believe. The evidence Rosa showed me was damning. The letters, the photograph, the bank transfers. But Matteo saved Dimitrio's life. He tracked us to that cave. If he wanted Dimitrio dead, why would h
