Chapter: 121. Family ~VALENTINO’S POV~The hallway beside the grand hall was quiet, the muted strains of violin music and distant laughter filtering through the thick doors as I stood with Don Nikolai.For a moment, he simply looked at me, the weight of years and regret in his cold blue eyes. The light from the crystal sconces cut across the lines on his face, and I saw not the feared Don of Russia but a father searching for the right words.“I’ve wronged you,” he said, his voice low, rough with emotion. “Not once, not twice, but all your life, Tino.”I swallowed, my jaw tightening, but I said nothing.He let out a breath, his gaze dropping to the floor before meeting mine again.“Your mother… Farah… she deserved better. You deserved better. I let power blind me, let fear make decisions I should have made with my heart, not my ambition.”I shifted, shoving my hands into my pockets, letting him speak.“I don’t know if I deserve forgiveness,” he continued, his voice cracking slightly, “but I will ask for i

Chapter: 120. Brotherly Love II~VALENTINO’S POV~“Bianca?”I stared at her in disbelief, my jaw clenching so hard it ached.For a moment, the world around me faded, the laughter and violin music from inside the hall turning to a muffled echo in my ears.Vince stepped forward, his smirk widening as he watched my reaction.“You look surprised, brother,” he drawled, adjusting the cuff of his suit with deliberate calm.I squared my shoulders, forcing air into my lungs, the tension in my chest pressing against my ribs like a vise.“I don’t have time for your games, Vince,” I said, my voice low, cold. “What’s all this about?”Vince chuckled, his eyes glinting with something dark as he glanced around the courtyard, the guests inside oblivious to the storm brewing outside.Don Nikolai stood silently behind him, observing with cold detachment, while Natasha’s red dress fluttered faintly in the breeze, her gaze sharp, hawk-like, as she crossed her arms.“You’re too serious, brother,” Vince said, shrugging casually. “Take a c

Chapter: 119. Brotherly Love I~VALENTINO’S POV~The courtyard of Palazzo dell’Amore fell into a hush so heavy it felt like the air itself thickened.Vince stepped forward, his polished shoes crunching lightly on the scattered white rose petals. His dark eyes flickered over the crowd, amusement dancing in them, as if he was enjoying the discomfort spreading like a stain through my guests.Don Nikolai stood just behind him, silent, unreadable, his icy gaze sweeping the scene. Natasha was there too, standing a step behind Nikolai, her red dress like blood against the pale marble, arms crossed, dark hair spilling over her shoulder, eyes sharp as blades.They said nothing, but their presence pressed down on the courtyard like a warning.Vince took another step toward me, adjusting the cuff of his suit, a smirk playing at the corner of his mouth.“Nice party, brother,” he drawled, voice dripping with amusement.I didn’t move, didn’t blink, my jaw tightening. Alina shifted beside me, her hand slipping into mine, her gri

Chapter: 118. The Wedding 2.0~VALENTINO’S POV~The day I married Alina, Milan held its breath.Palazzo dell’Amore was alive with light, the grand glass dome catching the October sun, scattering it into rainbows across crystal chandeliers and endless rows of white roses climbing marble pillars.The scent of lilies and jasmine was thick in the air, mixing with the hush of the gathered crowd.Security was tight. Rocco and my men, dressed in black suits with discreet earpieces, moved quietly along the perimeter, scanning every guest, every shadow. I had ordered it.Today, nothing would go wrong.Not on her day.I stood near the altar, beneath the cascading flowers and crystal arches, my heart pounding like a war drum beneath my white tuxedo jacket. The white rose pinned to my lapel felt heavy, but not as heavy as the moment.Dante stood beside me, his usually lazy grin replaced with something tight, nervous, his eyes darting to the aisle, then back to me.“You ready?” I asked quietly.“Fuck, I hope so,” he muttered,

Chapter: 117. Written In The Sky ~ALINA’S POV~ The morning of the wedding felt unreal. We were in the penthouse suite of the Hotel Principe di Savoia, the entire five-star hotel shut down just for us. Valentino had booked every floor, every room, every hallway, turning it into a fortress of luxury for our wedding. Outside, Milan was buzzing, but in here, everything felt soft, quiet, sacred. The suite smelled like vanilla and fresh jasmine, the windows thrown open to let in the crisp October breeze. Light spilled in, illuminating the chaos around us: makeup artists, hair stylists, photographers with massive cameras, racks of designer gowns lined up along the walls. Not just any gowns. Elie Saab. Zuhair Murad. Dior. Versace. They had flown in entire teams to style me and Giulia. Valentino hadn’t spared a single euro. Giulia sat across from me in her silk robe, her hair pinned in soft curls, a makeup artist gently brushing highlighter along her cheekbones while another worked on her nails. She look

Chapter: 116. When A Capo Is In Love II~ GUILIA’S POV~He shifted slightly, adjusting me in his lap, and I felt the warmth of him against me, the solid strength of him, the way his body cradled mine perfectly, like we were made to fit.I lifted my head, meeting his eyes as he broke the kiss.Those dark, molten eyes that always managed to see right through me, that held promises and confessions, that held me even when I didn’t want to be held.He leaned in, pressing his lips softly against my forehead, lingering there, his breath warm, his hand sliding up to cup the side of my face.“You’re so beautiful,” he whispered, his voice low, reverent, like he was confessing a prayer.Heat crept up my neck, settling in my cheeks, making me look away, but he tilted my face back to his, forcing me to meet his gaze.“Don’t look away,” he said softly, his thumb brushing across my lower lip. “Let me look at you.”“Dante…” I whispered, breathless.His hand slid down, wrapping around my waist as he pulled me closer, his forehead resting a

Chapter: 102: Epilogue ~Sienna~The breeze in Bellmore carried a sense of renewal, a symbol of survival after the storm. Lucas had arranged a Thanksgiving ceremony in the grand hall of Weston Corp to celebrate life, family, and the company’s resilience. Everyone was present—his mother Angelina, his sister Lexa, the board of directors, my dad, Hannah, Derrick, and all members of Weston.It was a full-circle moment.Lucas stood at the podium, his voice steady and filled with gratitude.“Today, we’re not just giving thanks for Weston’s survival, but for the people who make it what it is. This company has weathered unimaginable storms, but through faith, perseverance, and love, we are standing here stronger than ever. I thank God for this moment and for the extraordinary people who made it possible.”As the applause echoed, Lucas stepped down, his gaze locking with mine. My heart raced when he took my hand, guiding me to the center of the room.He spoke again, his voice now softer but just as firm.“And there’

Chapter: 101. Final War III ~Sienna~ I turned slowly, my heart pounding in my chest. There he was, standing just yards away, his gun still raised, his expression unreadable. His men fanned out behind him, a wall of black suits and cold stares. Lucas immediately stepped in front of me, shielding me with his body. The rigid set of his shoulders told me he was ready to fight to the death if it came to that. “Stay behind me,” Lucas murmured, his voice low and protective. “Lincoln...” I whispered, my voice trembling as I tried to steady my emotions. Lincoln’s eyes narrowed as he took in the scene—the cars, the people, Irena's dead body. His gaze lingered on me for a moment before flicking to Lucas. “You just don’t know when to give up, do you, Jones?” Lincoln said, his lips curling into a bitter smirk. “First, you barge into my mansion, and now you think you can just walk out of here with my sister? Bold of you.” “She’s not your property, Lincoln,” Lucas shot back, his voice steady but full of rage.

Chapter: 100. Final War II [ Next Day— Washington DC]~Sienna~I sat by the window, staring at the sunrise with Madi curled up on my lap, her small arms draped lazily over my waist. I absently rubbed my stomach, my thoughts consumed by Lucas. It had been over a week since I was torn from Bellmore, from him, and every day felt heavier than the last."I hope you’re okay, Lucas," I whispered under my breath, my gaze shifting to my growing belly. I smiled faintly, running my fingers over the slight curve. How happy you’ll be to know I carry your child.The thought brought a glimmer of joy despite everything. According to the scan I did shortly after arriving in Washington, I was three months along. The small swell of my stomach was starting to become visible. I couldn’t help but wonder how Lucas would react—his joy, his smile, the protective way he’d hold me.I glanced at Madi, her ginger hair soft under my touch, but the weight of my worries pulled me back to reality. I had made arrangements be

Chapter: 99. Final War I ~Lincoln~Lucas had just left, but the tension he brought with him still clung to the air like a storm that refused to pass. His rage was palpable, and it left a heavy tension in the room.I sat down heavily in my chair, pouring myself another drink, the amber liquid catching the dim light of the room. I swirled it in the glass, thinking about the fire in his eyes, the determination in his voice.He loved her. That much was clear. And she loved him.But I can’t let them be together.Not after what the Jones family did to ours.I tipped back the glass, letting the whiskey burn its way down my throat, but it didn’t drown the guilt clawing at my insides. I hate that I have to do this—tear her away from the man she loves, the father of her unborn child.But I have to.I have no choice.I hate that I’m the villain in her story, the one forcing her into a life she didn’t ask for.Yet I would rather be the villain than watch her suffer the same fate as our parents. She’s in Washington now,

Chapter: 98. The Message ~Lucas~“You’re delusional, you can't break us apart," I growled, shaking my head.“You think you’re protecting her, but you’re just using her to justify your own hatred. Sienna deserves better than this.”Lincoln’s eyes glinted dangerously as he stepped forward, the guards around us tensing.“I’ll give you credit for your dedication, Lucas. But love isn’t enough. Not when it comes to my sister.”“She’s not just your sister!” I shot back. “She’s the woman I love, and I’ll fight for her no matter what. You don’t get to decide who she’s with.”“And I’ll fight to make sure she’s not with you,” Lincoln snapped, his composure finally cracking. He tossed the cigar onto the floor and crushed it beneath his heel. I took another step forward, my chest heaving with anger. The tension between us was thick, the air crackling with unspoken threats. “If you don’t hand her over right now, you’ll regret my next action.”Lincoln laughed, the sound sharp and condescending. “Seriously? We both know y

Chapter: 97. The Visit ~Lucas~It had been over a week since I last heard Sienna’s voice.A week of restless nights, unanswered questions, and a gnawing emptiness that refused to leave me. I’d looked for her everywhere—called every contact I could think of, chased down every lead—but nothing. It was as if she had vanished off the face of the earth.Derrick stood beside me, flipping through the agenda for the meeting we had arranged with several potential investors. Weston was bleeding, and if I didn’t secure their confidence, the company would collapse within weeks.“You need to focus,” Derrick said, his voice firm but not unkind. “I know your mind’s elsewhere, but this meeting is critical. If we lose more investors, Weston’s done for.”I rubbed the back of my neck, trying to push my thoughts of Sienna to the back of my mind. She would want me to keep fighting—for the company, for everything my family built.The meeting itself was a blur of presentations, numbers, and strategic promises. Derrick took the l

Chapter: 28. MaxReluctantly, Isabella reached for the white towel that was carefully folded on the hanger and used it to clean off the water on her body, patting her skin dry. She returned the towel and picked up the bathrobe from the hanger, carefully draping it around her naked body, and tied the belt firmly around her waist. She slipped into her yellow fluffy crocs, which lay carelessly on the bathroom floor."You can lift your head now," she drawled and turned to take her seat on a small stool at the corner of the bathroom. She sat comfortably with her legs crossed, exuding an air of pride and sophistication as she anticipated Liam's twerk dance. She giggled slightly at the thought, wondering if he was truly going to twerk for her, considering the fact that he appeared to be so rude and full of pride.Liam slowly raised his head and fearfully peeped from behind the bathtub. His eyes fell on Isabella, who sat confidently on the plastic stool, tapping her fingers on her legs. Seeing that she was now

Chapter: 27. Twerk For Me Boy! II Upon hearing Isabella's outrageous request, Liam choked immediately and began to cough profusely. He covered his mouth with his hand and slipped from the edge of the bathtub onto the freezing tiled floor. Isabella burst into hysterical laughter, kicking her feet in the water playfully and splashing it everywhere. The vodka was already taking a toll on her, making her act drunk. Liam stopped coughing and raised his head to find Isabella having the best night of her life, laughing hysterically."Are you seriously trying to make a fool out of me by requesting such ridiculous stuff?" he asked in a soft tone, swiping his long hair behind his ear. Isabella quit laughing, and the two gazed at each other intensely, an eerie silence lingering between them. Gently, Liam rose from the floor and moved closer to Isabella, their breath fanning against each other's skin. Both maintained their gaze. Isa lifted her right hand and slowly brought it closer to his face, gently caressing his cheeks and th

Chapter: 26. Twerk For Me Boy!Liam had just wrapped up his collaboration with the Singers Brothers and was amazed by the swift rise of his newly released music. The tracks he recorded with the Singers Brothers earlier in the morning had already climbed the charts, securing a spot in the top ten most streamed songs of the week. He drove home happily after branching at the store for bottles of alcoholic drinks, the thought of Isabella’s actions in the morning fueled his excitement, and happily, he stepped on the accelerator pedal, increasing his speed.Isabella, on the other hand, had just returned from work. She took a nice shower, the warm water cascading over her, providing a soothing sensation. The thought of Liam’s cuteness and seductiveness overwhelmed her as she lay gracefully in the bathtub, sipping from her glass of wine while romantic, gentle music played softly in the background. She rested her hand on her temple, thinking about Liam and his possessive attitude, and subconsciously, a soft smile escaped he

Chapter: 25. The Study RoomBeta Steve barged into Alpha Maximus's private study room, eager to announce the news he had for him. He slammed the door loudly behind him and walked toward Alpha Maximus, who sat in front of a brown wooden desk, rotating from one angle to another, chewing a pen in his mouth. He seemed to be engrossed in a paper before him. Steve walked briskly, his left hand in his pocket, his shiny black shoes making a clicking sound on the tiled floor as his well-ironed trousers flapped aggressively in the air."Alpha, I have something that will interest you," he announced, standing a few inches from his boss. Alpha Maximus tore his eyes away from the paper that had his attention before Steve interrupted his blissful moment of eerie silence."Oooh! What could that be?" he questioned with an air of authority, his green eyes eyeing Steve with a frank and serious look. With a loud bang, Steve placed the brown leather bag that had been dangling on his right hand as he entered on the desk. He unzipped i

Chapter: 24. Secrets Isabella's heart skipped a beat at Liam's unexpected response. Her eyes widened in astonishment, and her mouth hung open in sheer surprise."Did I hear that correctly? Tonight? Nobody is going to know?" She couldn't contain her excitement, letting out a joyous scream while kicking her legs in the air with unbridled happiness.Liam hopped into his car and drove off from the mansion. Isabella's earlier drama made him smile like a silly child. He had pretended as if Isa's seduction didn't affect him, meanwhile, it did a lot. His heart raced rapidly as Isa seduced him earlier, but he just had to keep up the hard boy facade to make her try harder."Don't forget, tonight!" A message popped up on the screen of his phone, lying carelessly near the gear. It was Isa. A naughty smirk escaped Liam's lips again at the sight of the message. "She's so naughty," he muttered under his breath.As Liam's car weaved through the road, a hooded lady suddenly flagged down the car with a wave of her hand. Imm

Chapter: 23. Breaching The Contract “Stop there!” Isabella ordered Liam as he tried to leave the room. Immediately, Liam froze in his tracks and turned to face Isabella, who was gracefully lying on the bed. Isabella had been feeling inferior since Liam indirectly turned down her offer the previous night. She couldn’t believe he had resisted her temptation. Now, she was planning to make life difficult for him.Rolling over the duvet to the edge of the bed frame, Isabella reclined gracefully, and a slight moan escaped her lips. “Where are you off to, Mr. Blackwood?” she purred in a seductive tone, narrowing her eyes and perfectly shaped brows. Clad in black lace lingerie, her slender fingers, adorned with long, shiny red acrylic nails that beautifully complemented her skin, grazed the white sheet and sensually moved to her curved thighs, which she caressed gently, enough to make any man crave her.Liam sensed what she was up to and couldn’t help but chuckle slightly. “What do you want, Isa?
