The Decision

Dimitrio's Pov I stood in the doorway of the ballroom and watched her fight. Serena was sparring with Matteo. They moved in circles around the mat. She was quick. Not as strong as him, but faster. She ducked under his swing and came up behind him. Her arm went around his throat. Not tight enough to hurt. Just enough to show she could. "Good," I said. They both turned. Matteo released her, Serena stepped back. Her face was flushed. Her hair was damp with sweat, she looked at me with those green eyes that had become so familiar. "How long have you been standing there?" she asked. "Long enough." "She's getting better," Matteo said. "She almost had me that time." "Almost doesn't count." Serena rolled her eyes. "I'll get you next time." "I'm sure you will." I walked into the room. "Leave us. I need to speak with Matteo." Serena looked at me. Then at Matteo, then back at me. She knew something was wrong. She could always tell. "Is everything okay?" she asked. "I'll come find y

Past and Present

Serena's Pov The training was getting harder. Dimitrio pushed me every day. Longer sessions. More difficult techniques. He taught me how to break holds. How to escape grabs. How to use my smaller size against bigger opponents, I was sore all the time. My muscles ached. My hands were bruised. But I was getting stronger. I could feel it. One morning, I sparred with Malak. He was bigger than Matteo. Faster. More experienced. But I held my own. I dodged his first two swings. I blocked his third. When he lunged at me, I sidestepped and swept his legs out from under him. He hit the mat with a grunt. I stood over him, breathing hard. "Good," Dimitrio said from the side of the room. "But you hesitated before the sweep. In a real fight, that hesitation would get you killed." "I know." "Then don't do it again." Malak got up and dusted himself off. He didn't look upset. He looked impressed. "She's getting good," he said. "She's getting better," Dimitrio corrected. "She still has a lo

Unfolded Trap

Serena's Pov I woke up early that morning. The sun was just starting to rise. Dimitrio was still asleep beside me. His arm was draped over my waist. His breathing was slow and steady. I didn't want to move. I wanted to stay in this moment forever. Safe. Warm. Protected. But I had training. I slipped out of bed carefully. Dimitrio stirred but didn't wake. I pulled on my training clothes and quietly left the room. Malak was outside the door. He nodded at me. "Training?" he asked. "Yes." "I'll walk with you." We walked through the quiet hallways together. The estate was still waking up. Servants were starting their morning duties. Guards were changing shifts. Everything seemed normal. But something felt wrong. I couldn't explain it. A feeling in my stomach. A tension in the air. I told myself I was being paranoid. After everything that had happened with Nadia, with Giovanni, with my father, it was natural to feel on edge. We reached the ballroom. Malak opened the door for me.

Don't Leave Me

Serena's Pov The estate was quiet after Nadia's arrest. I stayed in Dimitrio's chambers for most of the day. I didn't want to go outside. I didn't want to see the looks on people's faces. The whispers had already started. Some said I was a hero. Others said I had set Nadia up. Others just stared at me like I was a problem they didn't know how to solve. I didn't care. I was tired. My body ached from the fight. My mind was racing. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Nadia's face. The knife in her hand. The cold look in her eyes. She had been ready to kill me. She had planned it. She would have done it if I hadn't fought back. Elena came to see me in the evening. She looked worried. "I heard what happened," she said. "Everyone's talking about it." "Of course they are." "Giovanni is furious. He's been in his study all day. No one's seen him." "He came to see me earlier. He told me this isn't over." Elena's face went pale. "He threatened you?" "He said I won this battle but the

The Enemy's Move

Dimitrio's Pov I woke up with her in my arms. The morning light was soft through the curtains. Pale and gray. The room was quiet. She was still asleep. Her red hair was spread across the pillow. Her face was peaceful. Relaxed. No fear. No worry. Just rest. I didn't move. I didn't want to wake her. I just lay there, watching her breathe. Watching the way her chest rose and fell. The way her lips were slightly parted. The way her hand rested on my chest. She had held me through the night. I remembered the nightmare. Rossi's face. The blood. The fear. And then Serena's voice. Pulling me back. Telling me I was safe. Telling me she wasn't going anywhere. No one had ever done that before. No one had ever stayed. I reached out and touched her hair. The strands were soft between my fingers. She stirred but didn't wake. Her hand tightened on my chest. I thought about what she had said last night. "I'm not going to leave. I'm going to stay. And I'm going to fight. With you." She meant

Cornered

Serena's Pov Dimitrio got dressed quickly and left after his meeting with Matteo. He kissed me goodbye and told me to stay in the room. He said he would be back by evening. He said Malak would be outside the door if I needed anything. Then he was gone. I stood at the window and watched him walk across the courtyard. Matteo was with him. Two other men followed behind. They got into a black car and drove through the gates. I didn't know where they were going. I didn't ask. It was safer not to know. The hours passed slowly. I tried to read. I tried to sleep. I tried to do anything to keep my mind off what was happening. But I couldn't stop thinking about Giovanni. About the coup. About the fact that Dimitrio was out there, walking into danger, and I was stuck here doing nothing. Elena came to see me in the afternoon. She brought food, I didn "You need to eat," she said. "I'm not hungry." "You need to keep your strength up." I looked at her. "Do you know anything about what's

Bruises

Dimitrio Giovanni's study was at the end of the east wing. I walked there alone. Matteo had offered to come with me. I told him no. This was something I needed to do myself. The guards outside Giovanni's door looked surprised when they saw me. They didn't try to stop me. They just stepped aside and let me pass. I pushed the door open without knocking. Giovanni was sitting at his desk. Papers were spread out in front of him. He looked up when I entered. His expression didn't change. He had been expecting me. "Don," he said. "This is unexpected." "Is it?" "I assumed you would be busy. Dealing with my daughter. With the council. With the mess you've created." I closed the door behind me. "The mess I've created?" "Forgive me. That was poorly worded. I meant the mess we're all dealing with." I walked to his desk and stood across from him. He didn't stand. He just sat there, looking up at me with those cold eyes. "You've been meeting with people," I said. "Outside the estate."

The Queen’s Announcement

Serena's Pov He looked at Malak and looked back at me. “Follow me.” I stood up and walked towards him. We both walked back to his chambers. Neither of us spoke. The hallways were quiet. The guards watched us pass. I could feel their eyes on my bruises. On my raw knuckles. On the way Dimitrio held my hand like he was afraid I might disappear. When we got to the room, he closed the door and locked it. Then he turned to me. "Sit down," he said. "I'm fine." "Sit." I sat on the bed. He went to the bathroom and came back with a first aid kit. He knelt in front of me and took my hands. His touch was gentle. Careful. He cleaned the cuts on my knuckles with a cloth. "Tell me what happened," he said. "From the beginning." I told him. The soldier coming into the training room. The knife. The challenge. The fight. The way I had taken him down. The warning he had given me before he left. Dimitrio listened without interrupting. His jaw was tight. His eyes were dark. He was angry. But n

A Begging Father

Dimitrio's Pov I woke up before dawn. Serena was still asleep beside me. Her red hair was spread across the pillow. Her face was peaceful. She looked younger when she slept. Softer. Like the weight of the world hadn't touched her yet. But it had. It had touched both of us. And it wasn't done yet. I got out of bed carefully. I didn't want to wake her. She needed rest. The fight with the soldier had taken a lot out of her. And the days ahead would be harder. I dressed quietly and left the room. The guards outside nodded as I passed. I walked through the quiet hallways to my study. The estate was still. The servants hadn't started their work yet. The guards were changing shifts. Everything was calm. But it wouldn't stay calm for long. Matteo arrived an hour later. I had sent for him. He walked into my study with a serious expression on his face. "You wanted to see me," he said. "I'm making an announcement. I wanted you to hear it first." He sat down across from my desk. "What

Escape

Nadia’s Pov The cell was cold. I had been here for three days. Three days of staring at stone walls. Three days of listening to the guards talk outside my door. Three days of planning. The guards thought I was broken. They thought I had given up. They brought me food and water and avoided looking at me. They whispered about what the council would do to me. Some of them looked at me with pity. Others with disgust. None of them knew what I was capable of. I had learned a lot in this cell. I had learned the guards' schedules. When they changed shifts. When they took their breaks. Which ones were lazy. Which ones were careful. And I had learned which ones could be bought. His name was Paolo. He was young. Maybe twenty-two. He had been with the family for two years. He was ambitious. Hungry. He wanted more than what he had. And he was the one who brought me my meals. I started working on him on the second day. "You're different from the others," I said when he brought my dinner.
