V E L I N AOnce Luciano pulls away from me, he smiles, and I remain standing there staring back at him, my thoughts still stuck in the moment, my lips still warm from his kiss, and my breathing slightly laboured as I try to collect myself. I know I should step back, I know I should create distance between us, yet my body refuses to cooperate, and it seems I'm able to regain control of my reactions. My heart continues beating faster than usual, and I avoid looking directly at him again, worried he might notice the effect he has on me... But it may already be too late for that, and he is definitely using that to his advantage...I barely register movement in front of me until the officiant steps closer, holding a document and a pen toward me, clearing his throat gently as he speaks."Please sign here." The man then says, his voice pulling me back to reality, and I lower my gaze slowly toward the paper in his hand, my mind still trying to catch up with everything happening around me. It

V E L I N A"Please let me go… please…" I hear myself saying, and at this point, I am not even sure who I am begging anymore. The guards still hold my arms as they drag me down the hallway, my feet barely keeping up, my heart racing so fast I can hear it in my ears. I hate how weak my voice sounds, but I can't stop myself. I am desperate, and I don't even try to hide it..."Be gentle with her please." Luciano says calmly from ahead of us, and that alone confuses me. He doesn't even look back immediately. He just says it, like he is reminding them to handle fragile cargo. He is the one forcing me to leave, yet he is also asking them to be gentle. The contradiction makes my head spin."Luciano..." I call out, my voice shaking as they continue dragging me forward.He finally glances back at me, and I wish he would not. The moment his eyes land on me, I feel that same pull again, and I hate it. I hate that even now, even while I am fighting against him, my body still reacts to him..."Ple

V E L I N AI am still standing there when Luciano speaks again, and I swear it feels like everything is moving forward while I am stuck trying to catch up, trying to understand how my life has changed this quickly, how I went from begging my family to stay to now standing inside another man’s home while he introduces me as his wife.“I’m back, a2nd with much more than I expected,” Luciano says, his tone calm, almost pleased, and I glance at him, trying to understand what exactly he gained out of all this beyond territory and money, and how he could possibly be okay with marrying a complete stranger out of his own free will.“The Merranos got what was coming to them?” Kita asks, and that question makes my chest tighten instantly, my attention snapping toward her as I wait for his answer, not being sure if I want to hear it or not. That's when I remember the Diomanis came to our territory with a mission to destroy, and they seem to have succeeded much more than they anticipated...“On

V E L I N AI don’t even realise I’m still leaning into him until he speaks again, the action pulling me back to the present as I remember where I am and what I'm doing; who I’m standing in front of, and how none of this should feel as intense as it does right now...“You’re captivated by me…?” I whisper, and even as the words leave my mouth, I don't quite believe them myself. There's no way what he's saying is true, and all that's left now is for him to laugh at me and just tell me that it's all a joke. But he never does...“Yes,” he answers clearly and without hesitation, making my heart begin racing again, fast enough that I can feel it in my throat, making it even harder to think clearly and harder to remind myself that this man forced my life into a direction I never chose.“And I had to make you mine… and now you finally are…” he continues his choice of words leaves my heart fluttering and my mind completely conflicted. Mine... He's really claiming me as his... Disbelief cros
