Marco’s presence was overwhelming, his body heat making it hard to breathe. His dark eyes locked onto mine, making my heart race. “Why do you fight me, Sarah?” he whispered, his breath hot against my ear.
I tried to step back, but the counter trapped me. “I won’t be your plaything, Marco.”
He smiled, a dangerous, seductive curve of his lips. “Is that so?” He pulled me close, his hand burning through my dress. His lips brushed my neck, sending shivers down my spine. “I think you like this more than you admit.”
I wanted to resist, but when his mouth claimed mine, I melted into the kiss, my body betraying me. Every touch ignited a fire I couldn’t control.
When he pulled back, his eyes were full of desire. “You can’t deny what’s between us, Sarah”

Chapter: Chapter 526MARCOI sat in my office for a long time, staring at the laptop screen without seeing a single thing on it. The words in my inbox were nothing but shapes. The numbers in the reports might as well have been smoke. My head felt tight, my chest even tighter. Every time I tried to breathe deep, something inside me pushed back, like my whole body was warning me that I was not ready to face the day.I kept thinking of the morning. The empty house. The silence in the kitchen. The bed that was cold on one side. The letter she left on the table. I had picked it up before my mind was ready for the message. I read it anyway. Ever since then, something in me would not settle.I told myself to stay focused, to act like everything was under control, but even thinking that felt stupid. Nothing was normal. Not my home. Not my work. Not my mind.Two hours passed in that fog before I finally heard heavy footsteps in the hallway. A quiet knock followed, and Tony pushed the door open with a careful look

Chapter: Chapter 525MARCOMarco walked into the office, his suit stiff and his hands still clenching the fabric of the sleeves. The building smelled of polished wood and coffee, the usual hum of morning activity filling the air, but it all felt distant, like he was moving underwater. He pushed the door open, his eyes scanning the room, noting the staff already at their desks, typing, talking quietly, going through the motions of their day. Everything seemed normal, and that normalcy made him feel even more off balance.He sat at his desk, dropped his bag, and opened his laptop. The screen lit up with emails, messages, updates from logistics, and requests from investors. He stared at them, but the words didn’t stick. His mind kept returning to the note she left. The quiet way she said she needed space. The way she packed and walked out without a word. The house had felt empty yesterday, but now the void he carried followed him here.I thought to myself, a I standing here, typing emails like I’m supposed t

Chapter: Chapter 524SARAHI woke up with my face stiff from dried tears and my head pounding like I hadn’t slept at all. My throat felt tight, my eyes heavy and sore. For a few seconds I just stared up at the ceiling, trying to breathe normally, but the weight of last night came crashing down the moment I moved.Marco’s voice.His father’s words he threw at me.Everything Maddalena ever said.Sofia’s face at that party.All the little moments where I swallowed things and told myself it would get better.It all sat on my chest like something had been placed there while I slept.The house was too quiet and I knew, right there on that bed, that I couldn’t stay here today. I couldn’t stay in this house pretending I wasn’t breaking apart. After last night… no. I couldn’t do it.I pushed myself up and wiped my face with my hands. My palms came away wet again. I hadn’t even realized I was crying. My body just felt heavy, like sadness had soaked into my bones and stayed there.Marco’s voice replayed again.You m

Chapter: Chapter 523THIRD PERSON Marco walked into the house with his jaw tight and his shoulders tense. The silence inside was thick, too still, like the walls were waiting for something to explode. He shut the door without a sound and stood there for a moment, breathing hard. His father’s words kept echoing, circling his head again and again, each one hitting the same raw spot.He dragged his hand across his face and forced himself to move.The lights in the kitchen were on. He walked in and found Sarah standing by the counter. She was cutting fruit, slow and gentle, like she always did when she wanted things peaceful. She looked up the moment she sensed him. Her eyes softened. She gave him that small warm look, the one that usually calmed him.Tonight it did nothing. If anything, it made the anger twist deeper. Made the guilt sharper.She wiped her hands on a towel and took a step closer. “You’re back early,” she said. “Everything okay?”Her voice was low. Careful. It should have helped. He wished it

Chapter: Chapter 522MARCOI answered the call and my father’s voice hit me before I even said hello. He didn’t ease into it. He didn’t breathe. He just fired at me.“Marco, what the hell is going on?”The anger in his voice came sharp and loud. I held the phone away for a second because it felt like he was right in my ear. My ribs pinched a bit when I straightened up, but I forced my voice to stay calm.“What do you mean?” I said. “Everything is fine. Nothing is out of hand. I’m handling it.”“Do not lie to me,” he snapped. “Do not even try it. I have been getting calls since morning. Calls. From people I should never hear from unless something is going wrong.”I felt my jaw tighten. I tried to breathe slow, but he gave me no space.“You think I don’t know?” he went on. “I know about the routes. I know about the investors. And I know about the missing shipment.”I froze there. My whole body felt still. I didn’t expect the news to fly all the way to him this fast. Investors calling him meant it was worse

Chapter: Chapter 521THIRD PERSONMarco had been home for a full week, and the days passed in slow, tense silence. He moved better now, but every shift in his ribs reminded him of the accident. His shoulder still pulled when he lifted his arm too fast. The bruises across his side had started to fade, but the soreness stayed with him like a dull warning.The house felt different. It carried an edge he couldn’t soften. Sarah barely looked at him for more than a few seconds at a time. She spoke softly, never raising her voice, never pushing. She moved with care, like any wrong word could break the small peace they were holding on to.Every morning, Marco noticed it again and again. The way she slid his glass of water toward him without meeting his eyes. How she asked if he slept well, but her voice sounded like she already expected the answer. The careful distance she kept when she walked past him. It wasn’t fear. It wasn’t anger. It felt like she was protecting something inside her, and Marco didn’t know wh

His deadly obsession
His steely gaze bore into mine, an abyss of emotionless darkness.
"Marc-"
"SHUT UP!"
I
flinched, a shudder coursing through me. He came on closer, his fingers tightening around my neck, a cruel parody of a caress. I met his frightening stare, I stared at him breathing heavily.
"Just be still."
I lowered my face, eyelids fluttering shut, as if seeking solace in the darkness.
"I own you."
His declaration resounding heavy in the air, an unbreakable chain binding me to this desire’s. In that moment, I knew - there was no escaping the clutches of this man who held me captive, body and soul.

Chapter: Chapter 8ElenaI stood in my fancy room, feeling trapped and unhappy. The red silk walls seemed to glow, but it wasn't a warm and cozy glow - it was more like a reminder of the life I was stuck in. The soft carpets felt like they were suffocating me, and the big bed with its fancy headboard and satin sheets just made me feel like I was stuck in a life I didn't want.The pillows were piled high, but they didn't offer much comfort. The fireplace had pictures of my husband's ancestors, and they seemed to watch me all the time, making me feel like I was being judged. The fire crackled and popped, and it seemed to be hungry for something - maybe my freedom.Outside, the gardens were beautiful and full of life, but they just made me feel trapped. I had a simple writing desk from my old life, but it was empty now, except for a pen that felt too heavy to hold. Every fancy thing in the room just reminded me that I was stuck in a life I didn't want.I felt like I was in a cage, and I wanted to break fre

Chapter: Chapter 7I struggled to regain my composure, questioning Marco's sanity. Why would he unleash such brutality on Daren? The fear of others getting hurt due to this madness gripped my thoughts. My 72 hours were up, and I contemplated surrendering to Marco before more damage unfolded. It wasn’t long before, Marco and his imposing entourage made a formidable entrance, the evening breeze conspiring to announce their arrival. The subtle creak of the door, the hushed whispers of his accompanying goons – it was a well played out display of intimidation as Marco stepped into the room, casting a commanding shadow that seemed to stretch across the entire space. "Tempo scaduto, Elena," Marco pronounced, his demand echoing through the room. "I want that answer now." "I...l-" I started, my words hesitating. "Be careful, Elena," Marco interrupted, his warning carrying a palpable sense of impending consequences. "I'll accept your offer, Marco," I uttered, a tinge of sadness in my voice. However, ther

Chapter: Chapter 6********* Amidst the shadows that envelop the barnhouse, Marco De Luca arrives with an air of authority, determined to extinguish the supposed threat posed by Daren. His steps echo with a lethal rhythm, resonating the impending confrontation. "Where is he?" Marco's voice cuts through the tense silence as he addresses one of his goons, his gaze piercing the room. "He's tied in that corner," Vinny replies, pointing towards an ominous darkness. “Guardia bene," Marco commands, a subtle flick of his fingers. Vinny, a close ally in Marco's trusted circle, stations two tough guys outside the barn, ready to guard against any unexpected trouble. Spotting Daren, Marco issues an unsettling directive, deploying two of his men to commence a brutal assault on Daren even in his sleep. The initial blow to Daren's stomach jolts him awake, blindfolded and futilely struggling against his restraints. The onslaught continues, the men taking turns to rain blows upon Daren, assaulting different p

Chapter: Chapter 5************* The dimly lit lounge wrapped Marco in an intoxicating mix of luxury and allure. His crew stood by, solid as the stone walls around them. Women paraded all around him. In the midst of the wild party, his thoughts kept drifting to Elena. Seventy-two hours. A ticking clock to her surrender. He could almost taste the victory of breaking her spirit. Suddenly, Vinny, his right-hand man, rushed over looking all serious. "Marco, you gotta know this. The Vittorio, they're up to something suspicious." "The Vittorio, huh?" Marco mused. The name carried weight in their world. "Keep an eye on them, Santiago. This might get interesting." As Vinny hurried off, Marco let himself be swept back into the rhythm of the lounge. "Hello mister," one of the strippers purred, a naughty gleam in her eye. Marco gave her a sly grin. "Spicing up the night, aren't you?" She leaned closer, her voice a sultry secret. "Names don't matter, as long as you remember the moment." Elena A

Chapter: Chapter 4Elena I could barely focus, every step feeling like a careless dance on unsteady ground. Marco's ordeal was a looming specter, a dark cloud threatening to suffocate me. Why is he doing this? What does he want from me? It's illegal, it's outrageous! My own father, willing to hand me over to this devil in exchange for a debt clearance, and the audacity of Marco to suggest... that! I refuse to be a sacrificial lamb, not for my father, not for anyone. I've worked tirelessly, day and night, to keep us afloat. This is a line I won't cross. Daren's voice broke through my swirling thoughts, a lifeline in the storm. I blinked, my gaze drawn to the spilt coffee on the kitchen sink. Dammit!. "What's going on, Elena? You've been off since you got here," Daren's concern was evident. I let out a deep sigh, "Just overwhelmed, you know? Life and all." "I get it," he chuckled. "Take it easy on yourself. Why don't you go take some orders, assist McKenzie? I'll handle this." His words we

Chapter: Chapter 3************* The room was hushed, the weight of Elena's father's words hanging in the air. His face, once filled with warmth and laughter, was now etched with lines of worry and regret. He cleared his throat, his voice heavy with the burden of his confession. "I don't know how to say this," he started, his voice faltering, "but I've gotten myself into a dire situation. I've incurred a debt with a man, a dangerous one, and... and there have been threats made against our lives." Elena's breath caught in her throat, her mind racing to make sense of the words. "Threats? Father, who is this man? What kind of debt are we talking about?" Elena's father hesitated, his gaze dropping to the letter. "His name is Marco Moretti. He's a powerful figure, and I owe him a substantial amount of money. I fear for our lives, Elena. For yours and your brother's." "Elena, I'm thinking of offering you to the crime boss in exchange for our lives." Elena's hands clenched into fists, her anger and

Chapter: Chapter 21SELENEWhen I opened my eyes, it wasn’t like before. There wasn’t that crushing weight on my chest, or that strange ache pulling at every corner of my body. My head felt clearer. My limbs didn’t feel like they were made of stone. I sat up, slowly, but this time, I didn’t need to use the headboard to do it. I just… did.It was quiet outside, the sun already hanging high like I’d slept half the day away. Maybe I had. But I wasn’t mad at it. For the first time in days, I actually felt like myself again.I swung my legs off the bed and stood. No spinning. No wobble. Just me, on my feet.The bathroom felt cold when I stepped in, but I didn’t care. I turned on the tap and let the bath fill with warm water, the kind that wraps around your skin and pulls all the tiredness out of your bones. I took my time. Washed my hair. Scrubbed my skin. Soaked until the water turned lukewarm and I was pruning. It felt like peeling off days of sickness, sweat, and Adrien’s hovering presence.I stepped out,

Chapter: Chapter 20SELENEWhen I opened my eyes, the sun had already pushed its way past the curtains, spilling quiet light across the room. For a second, I just lay there, staring up at the ceiling. Everything was still. No movement, no sound, not even the usual distant echo of the staff going about their business.My body felt less heavy, but not by much. I shifted under the covers and tried to push myself up, slowly, using my elbows to guide me. A sharp ache pulled across my shoulders and lower back. My limbs felt sore like I’d been thrown around, and my throat still scratched every time I swallowed.I moved to swing my legs over the side of the bed, but the room spun the second I lifted my head. I froze, swallowing against the dizziness, and laid back down.Just then, the door opened.A woman in a soft blue uniform stepped in, her face calm and practiced. The nurse. She looked surprised to see me awake.“Oh—good morning, Mrs. Adrien,” she said gently, walking toward me. “How are you feeling?”I hate

Chapter: Chapter 19SELENEWhen I opened my eyes, the soft light in the room made me squint. Everything felt hazy, my head pounding faintly, my limbs heavy. For a moment, I didn’t even recognize where I was. Slowly, as my vision cleared, I realized I was in my room, lying on my bed.I tried to sit up, but my body protested, weak and sluggish. My mind scrambled to piece together what had happened. When did I fall asleep? The last thing I remembered was—Adrien.The argument. His cold, unyielding presence. The dizziness that had overwhelmed me. My body shutting down mid-protest. I pressed a hand to my forehead, wincing at the faint ache as the memory returned. He’d grabbed me, and I’d lost consciousness.I exhaled shakily, my gaze sweeping the room. That’s when I noticed it. A drip stand stood by the side of the bed, an IV attached to my arm. I stared at it, bewildered, and then noticed a small tray on the table nearby, lined with medical supplies I didn’t recognize.When did all of this get here?The door

Chapter: Chapter 18SELENEI sat on the edge of the bed for a moment longer, letting the anger simmer quietly beneath the surface. I wasn’t going to let Adrien get to me. Not anymore. Whatever he threw my way, I would deal with it. But I wouldn’t let it define me.With a shaky breath, I stood up and made my way to the bathroom. My drenched clothes felt suffocating, the weight of them a constant reminder of last night. I peeled them off slowly, my body protesting every movement. The warmth of the bathroom was a small comfort, the steam from the shower already starting to fill the room as I turned the water on.The hot spray hit my skin, and I let out a sigh of relief. It was like washing away the remnants of the night—the rain, the cold, the humiliation. I stood there for a while, letting the water cascade over me, hoping it would take some of the exhaustion with it.But then it hit me—an eerie, bone-deep tiredness that seemed to creep into every part of me. My head began to pound, sharp and piercing, lik

Chapter: Chapter 17SELENEThe chill of the evening air clung to me as I stood frozen on the doorstep, staring at the closed door. My heart felt like it had been ripped from my chest and left to shatter on the cold, unwelcoming ground. He really did it. He threw me out. He wasn’t bluffing, wasn’t making an empty threat to scare me into submission. Adrien had made good on his word, and now here I was—locked outside, alone, like a discarded piece of trash.I clenched my arms around myself, the reality sinking in like a sharp blade to my ribs. This was my life now. This was what it meant to be with him. How had I let it come to this?The evening sky above was painted with shades of fading light, a soft pink bleeding into muted gray as the sun dipped further below the horizon. I stared at it, trying to focus on anything other than the heavy ache in my chest. The colors were beautiful, serene even, but they felt like a mockery of my turmoil.Tears pricked at the edges of my eyes, but I swallowed hard, refusin

Chapter: Chapter 16SELENEThe silence in the car was unbearable, thick with tension so palpable I felt like I was suffocating. I stared out the window, the world outside a blur as I tried to keep myself together. My heart pounded relentlessly, my chest tight with a storm of emotions I couldn’t untangle. Adrien sat beside me, his hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly I thought it might snap under the pressure. His jaw was clenched, the muscle there ticking in rhythm with his barely restrained fury.I bit down on the inside of my cheek, hard enough to taste blood, willing myself to stay silent. I wanted to speak, to demand an explanation for his behavior, to yell at him for humiliating me in front of everyone, but the knot in my throat was too tight.The tension in the car was stifling, pressing down on me like a weight I couldn’t escape. I could feel Adrien’s anger radiating off him, sharp and suffocating, and I hated that it was aimed at me. My chest ached with frustration, with anger of my own,
