Chapter 1

Salvatore was in love.But not with me.Lucia had arrived at the Romano estate a month ago.At first, Salvatore paid her little attention.All he said was, "She's your sister. Of course we should treat her well. You can handle it."Then she wandered into Salvatore's study by mistake and found her way into his heart.Salvatore began insisting on dining with us.He watched her, and one by one, the dishes she didn't like vanished from the table."Take the slow-roasted herb lamb away too. Don't make it again."Suddenly, the lamb on my plate became impossible to swallow.This was one of the few dishes Salvatore actually enjoyed. He'd mentioned once that he liked it, and I'd been making it for three years.Lucia had only wrinkled her brow, and he ordered the dish removed.I set down my cutlery and answered quietly, "All right. I won't make it anymore."Salvatore looked surprised for a moment, then caught himself and nodded. "You're the Donna. You were never expected to bother with these smal

That evening, a knock came at my door.Lucia stood there holding a glass of medicine. "Are you feeling any better?"She looked stricken with guilt. "I didn't know you were allergic to this kind of flower too."Salvatore appeared behind her and patted her shoulder. "It's all right. You didn't mean to. Your sister won't hold it against you."I managed a weak smile. I was about to take the medicine when a familiar scent hit me.Two fresh lilies were still tucked into Lucia's hair.I recoiled instinctively, and the glass in Lucia's hand shattered on the floor.She let out a small cry and fell into Salvatore's arms."Are you all right?"I looked up, only to realize the concern wasn't directed at me."Lucia was only trying to look after you. She didn't actually do anything wrong. There's no need to take it out on her."I was coughing too hard to get out a single complete sentence. My eyes stung with tears.Lucia clutched Salvatore's arm. "It's my fault, Salvatore. I upset Bianca. I'll just g

The next morning, I had the servants bring breakfast to my room. I ate alone before going to the study.Lucia was flitting around Salvatore with an armful of lilies, chatting and laughing.Salvatore wore a doting smile, humming a response now and then.Both smiles vanished the moment they saw me.Salvatore said coolly, "Since you're here, let's begin."I swallowed the ache and took a seat off to the side."The Romano Family is extremely complicated. If you want to manage its affairs, you need to start by learning who's who."After I finished, Lucia pulled a pained expression. "Learning faces? How boring. Isn't there anything more interesting?"I explained, "Managing a family's affairs isn't a game. Of course it's tedious."Salvatore looked up from an intelligence report. "Lucia is just getting started. Don't be so hard on her."I opened my mouth to protest. When I first started, this was exactly where I had begun.Lucia nodded eagerly. "Exactly."She bounced behind Salvatore's chair an

He snatched my phone, scoffed, and hurled it out the window.I lunged to catch it, but he seized me by the throat.Salvatore's eyes were terrifyingly cold."Bianca, consider this a warning. You know what happens to people who betray me."I could barely breathe. My struggles weakened little by little.Only then did he let go, dropping me onto the bed.He rang for the butler. Lucia trailed in behind Adrian, her face pinched with worry.Salvatore spoke in a low, hard voice. "The Donna is unwell. Move her to the tower. No one is to disturb her unless she is needed for the banquet."The butler murmured his assent.Lucia stepped forward, her tone solicitous. "Bianca, did you make Salvatore angry again?"She choked up. "If you two are fighting because of me, I'll leave. Just please stop being so difficult."Salvatore pulled Lucia into his arms and gently wiped her tears. "You haven't done anything wrong. She's the one who wanted to leave."Watching the two of them, the bitterness in my chest

Lucia left behind a room full of lilies and swept out, chin high.On her way, she locked the door."Every day from now on, I'll have fresh lilies delivered. Your allergy will clear up in no time."The garret was cramped, with only a single window for ventilation. Before long, a rash covered my entire body.I kept my mind on the banquet days away, telling myself over and over to endure.Three days later, the banquet began on schedule. Lucia came to the garret with flowers.She wore a couture evening gown, golden hair adorned with fresh lilies, jewels glittering.When she noticed my eyes on the pocket watch in her hand, Lucia smiled."I heard the old watch was your token of love. I didn't like it, so Salvatore threw it away and had a new one made."He'd told another woman the story between us, as if it were a joke.One word of displeasure from Lucia, and our token of love could be discarded like garbage.I pressed my lips into a thin smile. "It's a beautiful watch."Lucia blinked. She cl

Salvatore's brow creased, and he jolted awake.He scanned the room. A vase of freshly cut lilies sat on the nightstand.Lucia's eyes welled up. "You're finally awake."Salvatore shifted, and blood immediately seeped through his bandage.The butler called for a doctor to re-dress the wound.Salvatore kept his eyes shut. "Did you catch anyone alive? Who's behind it? How many died at the banquet?"The butler stepped forward. "No one died at the banquet. They pulled out fast. Several longtime servants were taken. The ones left behind won't talk. They're awaiting your orders."Salvatore opened his eyes. "No one died? No killing means they were after something else. Good work.""I can't take credit, Don. It was the Donna."His gaze went to Lucia first. He frowned. "Bianca?"The butler nodded."Send for her."The butler hesitated. Before he could speak, Lucia cut in."Salvatore, Bianca is still sulking. She won't see anyone."Salvatore's expression went cold. "Still as stubborn as ever."His

A flash of panic crossed Lucia's face.Salvatore stared at the butler kneeling before him."Say that again.""Donna Bianca has already..."Bang!The bullet tore through the butler's shoulder. He let out a strangled grunt.Salvatore's eyes narrowed. Not a trace of grief showed in them."If you say something like that again, the next bullet won't stop at your shoulder."Lucia smiled cautiously and pressed close to Salvatore. "Bianca must be so angry she had the butler pass along a fake message."The butler's head sank lower."Get out."Lucia tilted her chin. "Didn't you hear? He told you to get out."Salvatore turned to her. "You too."Lucia blinked. One look at his cold, flat expression, and she bit her lip and reluctantly obeyed.The butler remained on his knees, motionless."Well? Do you have something to say, or have you lived long enough?"Salvatore toyed with the gun, his gaze dark.The butler bowed low from his knees. "Don, please believe me. You only have to look. The burned towe

"Don, the investigation is complete."A vase of lilies sat on Salvatore's desk. He set down the intelligence report.Adrian spoke in a measured tone. "Miss Lucia ordered the garret sealed. The doors and windows were not only locked. The locks were deliberately destroyed. Even with a key, there was no way out."Salvatore's fists clenched. He motioned for Adrian to continue."The fire itself was accidental. But the reason the Donna couldn't escape was that Miss Lucia delivered fresh lilies to the garret every day."The Donna's allergy was severe. She lost consciousness during the fire. That is why she couldn't get out."Salvatore's clenched fists began to tremble. He looked up and saw the lilies blooming bright on his desk. He stood and swept them to the floor."Where is Lucia?"His voice was low. He moved with long strides through one corridor after another and threw open the bedroom door.He paused and took in the estate around him. The mantel, the hallways, the staircase landing. Lili

Chapter 9

One month later, I was in a coastal town in Northern Europe.I pushed open the glass door of the bookshop and started sweeping the floor.I'd stopped dyeing my hair entirely. The blonde was growing in from the roots.Dante said it looked beautiful. All I knew was that it felt more like me.Mornings were quiet in the shop.The wind off the sea picked up. I crossed to close the window just as the door opened.Salvatore stood in the doorway.He had lost a great deal of weight. His coat hung loose on his frame, his cheekbones jutted out, stubble shadowed his jaw, and deep circles darkened the skin beneath his eyes.His hair was unkempt. He stared at me without blinking.I kept my composure, the same as I would with any other customer."Your hair," he began, his voice rough. "It looks beautiful.""Can I help you with something?"Salvatore produced a bouquet from behind his back. I instinctively covered my nose and stepped away.He spoke quickly. "They're fake."I burned every flower on the
