Gulping, I began to fiddle with my fingers as I darted my eyes around, the air around me was suffocating. “Thank you Novah!” He said for the uptenth time, the excitement in his tone never wavering even for once. Just when he was about to take a swerve into the highway, a truck which was on full speed ran into his car, the impact of the hit on the owner’s seat which I occupied. “Novah…” He called out to me weakly as blood trickled down my face, darkness slowly closing in on me.

He said as he walked towards the door. "And I am Carlos, why don't you sleep food will be brought to you soon" he said and walked out the door, she felt light headed all of a sudden and knew something was it the water he gave her. A shaky exhale escaped her. Her stomach turned. The room began to blur. She swayed, blackness tugged on her subconscious, and then it dragged her all the way under. Later in the Don's office Carlos walked in and saw Marco busy with some work as usual, his friend was such a workaholic, he thought. He did not look up when Carlos entered so he sat down at the edge of Marco's table and said.

I was so used to having him by my side in the middle of an important mission, and tonight was no exception. "Fuck, Enzo didn't say which of the houses would be his," Antonio cursed. My mind went through the information I had about Don. He liked to leave a mark wherever he went. What were the odds that he did the same to his hideout? "Two parallel slashes," I whispered to Antonio. "Look out for that; I have a feeling if we find it, we find Don." Antonio nodded, and we split to either side of the street. After a few minutes of looking carefully at each gate, I finally saw the slashes I was looking for. It was quite prominent, meaning that Don didn't fancy hiding himself - just the arrogant per

“Come on. I’ll take you upstairs to rest.” He stood and guided her toward the stairs. Finn and Calvin exchanged a look. Then they followed right after them. God, I wanted to go eavesdrop so badly. Linda, sitting beside me, muttered under her breath, “Slutty bitch.” That jogged my memory. There was a drugging subplot around this part of the story. If I remembered correctly, Linda was the culprit. She had been secretly in love with Calvin for years, but Calvin only had eyes for Nancy. In the original novel, she managed to drug him, but afterward he turned the tables and dosed her ten times worse, leaving her stranded with no help. She ended up with a terrible fate.

Carlo La Rosa was the Don of the La Rosa famiglia of Neopolis. And I, Lydia Luciani, was sent to him as a plaything to settle a debt. There was a hideous scar on the back of his hand. Whenever he brushed his hand against my skin, it left a sensation that was both itchy and painful. For three whole years, Carlo treated me as nothing more than an outlet for his needs. There was no foreplay, and he didn't even bother turning off the lights. He forced me to look at the mirror, to watch how I was slowly and mercilessly consumed by him.

It was a moment of profound connection, a silent acknowledgment that their lives were now irrevocably intertwined, bound by secrets, betrayal, and a love that felt like a beautiful, terrifying mistake. Gerson Mall was much larger in reality than on paper. It was a complex building stuffed with every single product a customer could think of. The mall was a perfect scene, filled with people going about their business. The air was filled with the scent of cheap to expensive perfume and the low, constant hum of hundreds of conversations.

I absolutely refused to make myself small for any man. I went back to the bedroom and started packing up my things. Even though we had been married for several years, I had pathetically little to my name. As the Donna, I was expected to lead by example. Thus, while the family was expanding, lavish spending was out of the question. In just a few minutes, I had packed everything up. Looking at the master bedroom, which was almost unchanged, I felt as if a lifetime had passed. I'd poured all of my heart and soul into Marco and the family, but all I got in return was his betrayal and indifference.

The book was upside down for the first twenty before I noticed. Last night had settled into me the way significant things settled — not loudly, not with the drama of the moment itself, but quietly, in layers, the way sediment settled at the bottom of water that had been disturbed. I kept returning to the same points. His hands. The way he confronted Bianca. I pressed my fingers against my sternum. Stop it Sofia. Read your book. Right side up. A knock at my door. Not Valentina’s — too quiet. Not Matteo’s — too measured.

Avery gripped her phone, her chest churning with shock and something deeper. She had seen firsthand what that toxin did to the old man in Sunset City. The slow erosion of the optic nerve, then the gradual consumption of the entire central nervous system. It was a death that hollowed a person from the inside out, stripping away everything that made them who they were.

What had he hidden about the fire seven years ago? The questions circled in her mind, relentless and unanswered.
