Blood in the Morning Sun. Leandro The wine in my glass tasted like battery acid. Across the table, Delia sat like a ghost in the midnight-blue silk I had chosen for her. She was breathtaking a jewel I had stolen and locked in a cage of my own making. I saw the way her eyes kept searching mine, looking for that spark of warmth she’d seen in her dreams. She wanted the man. She wanted Leandro. But tonight, there was only the Don.

"That's good news, Delia. Finally we have some one who loves you. You should be happy and not cry. Or is he not up to your expectations?" "It's not it." "Then what is?" "I feel you won't be comfortable with him if I tell you." "Delilah, I think it's time you let me in. Then, you can see how serious I am when I say that I respect your decision. You're a full grown lady, I can't hold you back from your desires. I can't do that."

I always thought he was heartless, and his change in attitude was confusing me more than I liked. “How are you feeling?” He asked. Surprisingly, the pain was almost gone. I still felt like I had been shot, but it was manageable. “I’m doing well, Nic. How long have I been out?” “Two days.” “You haven’t showered in two days. Those are clothes from our wedding.” “I couldn’t leave your side. I had to make sure you were feeling better. I should have protected you, and I failed at that.” Serena cleared her throat. She was married to Nero, Nico’s youngest brother. Nico was the eldest of the DeLuca brothers, followed by Adrian, who passed away, Enzo, the enforcer, and Nero, the New York King.

"Hi, Del. Where are you from? I've been looking for you since yesterday. Why did you disappear, huh?" Delmar was silent and just looked at Brisa with a sad look. For eighteen years of friendship, Brisa can read if now Delmar is not in good condition. Even though his best friend didn't say anything. "Wait a moment." Brisa stopped the person who was decorating her nails. Nails that have been colored silver and will now be decorated with small white gems.

Bruno said. "Could this mean that they planned this out." Raphael asked. I suspected something was off when I went to see her, why ďid she come back when are marriage is in few months time and then she was initially invisible but became visible all of a sudden, coming back to New York City. It all clicked into place. Delia hadn’t come forward just to stir things up—she was opening the door to something much bigger. “She knew she couldn’t take Riley on alone,” I said. “So she started with the truth.”

My tongue feels thick, words slurring. He grips my chin hard, fingers digging into my jaw, forces my face up. “Who sent you to my room?” “No one. Please… Marcus cheated…with my friend. On my graduation day of all days.” A dark, mocking laugh rumbles from his chest. “Poor little Muslim girl got her heart broken and decided to stumble into Valentino Delucca’s suite for comfort?” The name hits like ice water. Valentino Delucca. The most dangerous man on the East Coast, head of the Black Serpent's and my sister's fiancee.

He straightened his tie, then entered the office building in long strides. I stood at the dorm balcony and watched his silhouette disappear through the glass doors. I spotted Francine in the cafeteria during lunchtime. She sat alone in the corner and barely plucked at the food before her. I approached her with my tray and claimed the seat across from her, asking, "Why aren't you eating?" She lifted her gaze to mine, her eyes startlingly red, and confessed quietly, "I don't feel like eating." I noticed the red mark branding her wrist, as if she'd been bound or cuffed.

Estella was surprised to see it was Delia. "Delia..." She whispered the name of the woman when she saw her presence. "That's you, how... You're alive!" Delia walked towards her for the first time. The woman has crutches and was obviously injured in the past encounter. All she thought was that Delia was dead because Lucius had cursed her. Delia laughed at the same time she screamed. "Because of you, I'll lose my right leg. I'll kill you! I will kill you and Lucius! But before that happens. Let's play first."
