Twisted Loyalties
Rhea Morreti, the female lead and the daughter of a Sicilian gang member; was meant to be a silent spy and was planted in the Vitale family to dismantle them from within, under the guise of an arranged marriage with Adriano Vitale, the son of a rival gang leader. But when her own brother, Dante, exposes her to further his own agenda, she becomes the scapegoat for a war she never planned to fight alone. Marked for execution, she barely escapes with her life—only to return stronger, deadlier, and carrying a secret that could shake the very foundation of their world.
Even though Adriano Vitale never wanted the marriage, he didn’t want Rhea dead, especially since they had fallen for each other. Yet, when she disappears in a hail of bullets, presumed gone forever, he buries the past and focuses on the war threatening to consume his empire. That is, until she returns, not just as the woman he once knew, but as a force of vengeance, standing at his side against their common enemies.
Dante, on the other hand, had spent years hiding a secret that fueled his ambition and his hatred for his family.
As alliances shift and the truth unravels, Rhea and Adriano must navigate a treacherous world of lies, deception, and deadly rivalries.
But the question remains. “With enemies lurking in the shadows and betrayal at every turn, will they uncover the truth before it’s too late, or will their unknown enemies destroy them before they get their revenge?”

Chapter: Chapter 62A few days passed with Rhea being in her buyer's custody.The initial shock of being bought in at an underground auction had settled into something more complex within her.She had expected to be treated like a prisoner, a commodity to be exploited or discarded. But instead, much to Rhea’s surprise, she was left to herself. Even though her every move was watched, she was not being controlled.She was fed well, allowed to sleep in comfort, and most surprising of all, she wasn’t treated as a sex slave. Dmitri had not made any advances, not even a word suggesting that he might expect her to serve him in ways she feared.If anything, his distance was even more unnerving because it made her question what he wanted from her after buying her at such a ridiculous rate.He had barely spoken to her since the day he’d bought her and interrogated her. His presence loomed all over the mansion but it was always at a distance.Rhea couldn’t decide if it was a blessing or a curse.However, she knew

Chapter: Chapter 61Chapter 61He didn’t flinch when she called him a monster.If anything, it seemed to amuse him.“I’ve been called worse,” he said dryly, smirking.“I hope your money was worth it, you monster,” she hissed, eyes blazing.Again he didn’t react, not with anger or violence He was just looking at her the way someone would look at their poorly behaved pet.Rhea’s chest rose and fell with quiet anger, but then her expression shifted. From defiance to desperation.“I’ll cooperate,” she said, with a steady voice. “If that’s what you want: obedience, compliance, silence, and no dramatics, I’ll give it to you.”He tilted his head slightly, curious but unmoved.“But I want one thing in return,” she continued, stepping forward a little. His expression hardened.“Do you think you’re in any position to ask for anything?” he said sharply, his voice low and unyielding. “I paid for you. I don’t need extra conditions to make you obey.”Rhea hesitated, throat tightening, but she forced herself to speak

Chapter: Chapter 60“Come with me.”The voice was low and calm but it cut through the noise like a blade.Rhea turned sharply, her eyes locking with the man who had pulled her from the stage only moments ago. He stood in front of her now, his posture relaxed but undeniably commanding. There was no question in his tone, no space for negotiation. The moment she hesitated, he turned his head just slightly, as if wondering who gave her the guts.“Where are you taking me?” she asked, her voice stronger than she felt.The man tilted his head.“I don’t hit women,” he said flatly, “so don’t make me consider exceptions. Walk.”The room around them seemed to blur as panic swirled inside her, but her legs moved before her mind caught up. She followed him, unsure if it was instinct or fear pushing her forward.They moved through a narrow corridor lit with golden lightbulbs, the muffled sounds of the ongoing auction fading behind them.Two men followed from a distance, they had to be his guards, she assumed.Rhea st

Chapter: Chapter 59Welcome, gentlemen,” the auctioneer’s smooth voice echoed through the darkened room, slick with excitement.“Tonight’s collection is one of the finest we’ve had in months. Fresh, untouched, exotic, each more tempting than the last. Let’s make this a night to remember.”A low murmur of anticipation rippled through the men. This was taking place in a private underground club somewhere in Italy with an undisclosed location and based on invitation only. A place where daughters, sisters, and wives of men who couldn’t pay debts were packaged and sold to the highest bidder.The room was dim, lit by clusters of golden bulbs, casting shadows on expensive suits, whiskey glasses, and barely restrained grins.Laughter and conversation simmered through the crowd.“Looks like they’ve upped the quality this time,” a man in a tailored grey suit whispered to his companion. “Last time was full of drugged-up messes.”“I heard they have a virgin in the lineup tonight,” another chimed in. “Apparently a

Chapter: Chapter 58The sun was already setting at the time Pietro glanced at the old wall clock above the stove. The ticking hands mocked him with their indifference. 6:42 p.m.Rhea was late.It wasn’t unusual by itself. Sometimes the café stayed a little busy, and other times she got caught up chatting with that older woman who worked at the bakery next door. But today, it felt different.He hadn’t touched his stew. The pot simmered untouched on the stove, and the chair across from him remained empty. The house was quiet. Too quiet.He stood abruptly, the wooden chair scraping against the tile. He stepped outside, scanning the narrow dirt path that led to the main road. He could find no trace of her.“Maybe she stopped to pick something up,” he mumbled, rubbing his jaw, but the excuse didn’t sit well with him.He waited another twenty minutes. Then thirty. The knot in his gut only tightened. Finally, Pietro grabbed his coat and headed into town, ignoring the ache in his knees and the cold creeping into

Chapter: Chapter 57The hours crawled by in suffocating silence.The room they threw her into was dark and foul-smelling with no windows. Her hands were tied in front of her with a plastic zip tie, and it was nice of them not to have blindfolded her. The flickering bulb above her head buzzed faintly.Rhea sat in a corner, arms wrapped around herself. Her legs trembled, her thoughts racing.She thought about herself and thought about how unlucky her life seemed to be going. Not only was she shot in the chest and thrown into the river, but she woke up without any memory of herself, not even her name. She also found out she was pregnant And just as she had accepted her fate to start a new life for herself and her baby and pretend her past never mattered, now she had been kidnapped by these men. When it rains, it pours. Rhea thought to herself.Her thoughts flickered towards Pietro. How was he?Was he okay?He would be worried sick if she didn't come back home that evening. Had the kidnappers gone back
