Romeo POV After not sleeping for like a week, my body finally came to rest as soon as I held her. Our bare bodies snuggled against each other; her warm pool of skin covered my cold and frigid one. What to ask more? The perfect silence aided my peace. No wonder I feel at ease. This girl holds so much power over me that I couldn't put my finger upon it. It feels like God is finally giving me something to hold on to, but why now when I’m already at the edge? When I already have a shield around me, why is he helping me now? Why not when I’m in desperate need of it? All these past days, I forced my body to rest. The sleeping pill that Dr. Agantino prescribed only made my body numb for a few hours, but it was only for a few hours. This time I didn’t need those sleeping pills; All I needed was her in my arms, and that was enough for me to sleep peacefully. Is this what real addiction feels like? In all my twenty-eight years of life, I had done tons of addiction from alcohol to cocaine. Na

Julia POV Rubbing my wet hair I walked to the living room only to find Enzo sitting on the couch as if he owned this apartment, one leg on the table and the other dangling on the floor. In his hand was a plate, and his eyes focused on the television. I clicked my tongue on the corner of my mouth, tossing my towel on the chair. I went towards him, pushing his leg off the table. He looked up at me, grinning like an idiot. "Oh, you came back. We thought you had been kidnapped by someone, and I have to take care of Aunty, though I’ll never complain about that if I'm going to have delicious food here." He said, sliding to the corner of the sofa, making room for me to sit. "Hah! In your dreams, Enzo... What are you doing here? Didn’t you say that you were going back to the academy?" I asked, as Mama came from the kitchen, offering me a plate, with freshly baked bacon and eggs. Only by smelling it did my mouth water. I’m hungry. I haven't eaten anything since last night. "Nah!

Romeo Pov“.....I truly appreciate all of you for your concern and kind support till now that you all have given to me and waited patiently for me to recover.” Her strong Italian accent sounded firm and strong. Her silver hair, once black and bright, cascaded down her back in gentle waves, a witness to the passing of times, her face etched with lines and wrinkles, though that wasn't able to shake this strong woman personality.I stood beside her, listening to her as she lied to the reporters about how she was careless and fell down the stairs, hurting herself. I understand why she is lying; she doesn’t want to ruin Valentino's status. It’s one of the rules of Valentino’s family. If something happened within the four walls, it would be buried within the four walls. A title that has chained my hands, which I can’t take off.Rusella Valentino is a strong, confident woman. After the death of my grandfather, she took up the responsibilities for both public and underground matters. That time

Romeo POVLooking out of the window, I stare as the car passes by the tall buildings straining to touch the sky, tall and oppressive. After talking to Dr. Lorenzo, I came to the realization that all the things I thought could be possible to heal me were utterly nonsense. I just found that girl beautiful. It was a desire, a sexual attraction that I felt toward her. And remembering last night, I’m sure I had sedated that desire too.I was so desperate for a remedy that now I’m starting to make up some shit. My head begins to throb, causing me to grimace in discomfort. Taking out my medicine from my coat and picking up a bottle that was in the car, I gulped down the medicine in one go. As the medicine started to do its work, it calmed my overrunning thoughts. I sighed, slouching against the black leather seat, opening the button of my fitting coat, and closing my eyes. It’s not like I want to complain that I don’t want to be head of the Valentino family. Or I don’t want to rule over ten

Romeo POVWhen they left the room, I took a deep breath, knowing that this was not going to make anything easier for me. I’m not scared of her, not more than that woman, but she inherited every bit of her traits. Serena Valentino is my stepsister. After the death of my father, that woman didn’t mourn for his death but came with the news that she was pregnant with someone else's child. And who was that other, I still do not know."What are you doing here, Serena?" I asked, and as soon as I saw her hand lifting to touch me, I immediately stood up and moved away from her, maintaining a safe distance between us. Breathing the same air as her makes me nauseous. My demon is scratching inside of me, making me feel burned. Whispering to me to wrap my hand around her neck and snap it like a twig. I gulped hard at the thought. Though the offer is very tempting, the outcome is dangerous."Can't I even come to meet my brother? It has been four years since I haven’t seen you, so I thought to remin

Domenico POV "Was he not clear with his words when he said not to interfere in our matter?" I asked, as I advanced my steps toward her and she took a step back. "W-What?" She asked, her face so confused and terrified as a cat. Yes, this is what I enjoy. She should have listened to him when he was talking to her in human language because I’m not patient with them."I asked you something, Serena. Were his words not clear to you?" My deep voice resonated, trembling her soul. I really hate her. I hate them. Why are they hurting him so much? How can they be so cruel to their own blood?"H-How!" she gasps as I wrap my hand around her neck. Pushing her to the desk, her hand reached to my wrist, making me tighten my grip. "What is so difficult for you to understand that you should leave us alone?" I yelled at her face as she trembled in my hold.I laughed as I watched her squirm in my hold. Call me sadistic. I don't give a damn about it. I bet she's frightened now. I increased my pressure o

Romeo POVI blink and open my eyes as blurry things start to get clear. I noticed that I was in my room. I winced trying to get up and pushed myself back a little, supporting my body on the bedhead. I called Domenico out just so he could save her. That’s when the realization hit me like cold water of what I'd done, and I clearly don’t remember what Domenico had done after coming out. My whole body felt like it was stabbing in pain as if a car had run over it.I take a glass from my bedside table and drink some water to soothe my parched throat. From the other side of my bedroom door, I heard someone talking. I got up from my bed, opening the door only to see my grandma, Luca, and Dr. Lorenzo. They stood there for a while, unsure whether they should come near me or not."R-Romeo?" Grandma called in a low voice to see if I was the one. I nodded my head, indicating to her that it was me, and she immediately came rushing towards me."Romeo, are you alright now?" Grandma asked as she rubbe

Julia POVI strolled around the VIP room, waiting for Enzo to wake up. Yesterday night, I received a call from the hospital that he had been heavily injured while on his duty. That sudden news panicked me, and when I reached here only to find that he had been shot twice in the stomach, stabbed in the shoulder, and had bruises all over his body. After two long hours of surgery, he finally made it to life. Being alone is hard when you don’t have any family to take care of, and Enzo was one of them. He saved my number in his call log as family, so the officers and hospital staff decided to call me last night to inform me about his condition. I didn't expect that he would save my name as a family member. Our relationship is not defined to be as brother or sister or even friend. He visited my apartment only because we’re neighbors, though giving a label to this relationship, makes me happy. Sighing, I walked over to the couch that was in the room and took a seat there. I didn't sleep a w

Romeo POV "You don't know how scared I was. I thought that I had lost you, man. Romeo, promise me you won't put yourself in danger again. You are important here, not me. I should be the one saving you, not the other way around. But I was always too late whenever you got hurt." Luca's voice trembled as he spoke. This is the second time I've seen him looking this broken, and it's also because of me. "Luca, you're everything to me. Don't say that. Without you, I wouldn't have come this far. You're not just my right hand but also my best friend. I can't bear to let anything happen to you," I replied earnestly. It had been two days since I woke up, and their joy at my recovery was palpable. My grandmother rushed to hug me as soon as she saw me, and it really felt good to be back. Yet I couldn't help but notice Julia standing by the door, almost trying to be invisible, but her presence was undeniable. Even in my unconscious state, I felt her touch, and surprisingly, it didn't repulse me.

Julia POV I wiped Romeo's body gently with a damp cloth. Now I’m really behaving like a nurse for him. However, seeing him in so much pain broke my heart. It had been five days, and he still hadn't opened his eyes. He slept deeply as if he hadn't slept in a week. I was about to discuss terminating the contract with them. But when I noticed that all of them were already on the edge, emotionally drained because of this incident. It weighed heavily on my heart, and I couldn't bring myself to go through with it. I reminded myself that staying here a little longer wouldn't cause me much harm.With tenderness, I wiped his shoulder blades down to his arm, where the needle connected to the IV. Since that night, Lorenzo had done everything he could to keep Romeo alive. But due to so much loss of the blood his mind had gone in a state of shock."Julia, you should come and eat something. You haven't had anything today," Luca's gentle voice broke the silence of the room. He approached me carryi

Julia POV I caught sight of his silhouette, sitting on the edge of the bed. His head threw back as his weight was supported by his hands resting on the bed. His upper body was bare, while he sported a pair of boxers. A sigh of relief escaped my lips, realizing that he hadn't completely lost his sanity. This situation reminds me of that night when I first encountered him but at that time some people were at least there but today I was alone facing him. And that scared me. Alone with him is not good, not after what happened last night. "What did I tell you, old man? I won't get treated until..." he began, his expression bored, but as soon as his eyes landed on me, a smile spread across his face. "Oh, I wasn't expecting this… Who are you?" he asked, and that deep voice sent shivers down my spine. I felt a shudder ripple through me. “What are you doing here?” he asked again, tilting his head, observing me, and it felt as if I were offering myself as prey to a lion ready to pounce. "

Julia POVWhen I woke up in the morning, there was an absence of familiar faces, replaced by new ones who now inhabited the mansion. Although their presence brought some life to the surroundings, it still felt like I was trapped in a dark room. They merely greeted me and went about their assigned tasks."Where is Rusella?" I asked Marco, who had brought the tray of lunch as I had requested to eat in my room. What’s the point of eating on the big table?"She had some work, so she went to the city. She said she'll be back by dinner time," Marco replied, placing the tray in front of me. I sighed and began to eat my food. Everyone seemed to have something to occupy themselves with, leaving me alone. Now, I had a genuine reason to distance myself from them. But what hurt me the most was that she had lied to me. Luca knew about my father. I had to escape from this place as quickly as possible. I can’t risk my life.Even if it meant leaving the country, I was determined not to be trapped he

Romeo POV I rubbed my face wearily as I listened to the ruckus outside my room. Frustration and regret swirled within me. It wasn't that she had disrespected me or anything like that. It was the image of her kissing another guy that played on repeat in my mind like a broken record.I stood there until I heard Luca going out of her room and closing it. I sighed going back to my bed and slumped myself.Lost in jealousy, I acted without thinking, impulsively kissing her. Her lips felt soft against mine, and for a fleeting moment, I wanted to savor it. But I knew it was wrong. Before I could dwell on it further, her touch on my back brought me back to reality, sending a jolt of pain through me.Yes, I was jealous—jealous of the way he had kissed her right in front of me. I wanted nothing more than to unleash my anger upon him, to break every bone in his body. And when I found myself holding her tightly, her hesitant response only fueled my desire for more than just a kiss. I yearned to t

Julia POVI stood rooted in place, completely deaf ear to his question, as my attention was captivated by his striking body. Despite the danger he emits, there is an undeniable attraction toward him that stirs something within me. Yes, I must admit, I felt a twinge of attraction. As he began to approach me, I instinctively took a step back, only to collide with the door."I’m sorry, I mistakenly entered the wrong room. Please don't worry; I'll leave immediately," I blurted out hastily, attempting to regain my composure. I reached for the doorknob, but to my surprise, he swiftly closed the door, trapping me inside."You know, Julia, you’re quite an interesting person. You wandered into my room even after I had just threatened you a moment ago. I don’t know what I should call you." he said. Did he think I entered his room on purpose? I rolled my eyes.A little courage welled up within me, making me meet his gaze. "You won't harm me," I asserted.He raised an eyebrow, visibly taken aback

Julia POV The car turned onto a narrow road, surrounded by towering trees. We followed the lane until the car came to a stop in front of a massive gate, its wrought iron adorned with intricate designs. A man opened the gate to let us in, and I couldn't help but stare in awe. It wasn't just a house; it was a mansion, far larger than any place I had ever lived before. The warm terracotta hues of the building and the exquisite stonework gave it a majestic appearance. Classic arched windows and balconies with ornate railings added to their beauty. It’s dangerously beautiful. It looked like something out of a horror movie. Throughout the ride, Romeo didn't utter a word to me, leaving me preoccupied with the unsettling things Enzo had said earlier. I couldn't understand what made this man so dangerous other than his well-known anger issues and strong sense of pride. From what I had observed, there was nothing that could make him truly menacing or justify the things doctors said about his

Julia POVThe car ride to his new house was marked by a tense silence. As we approached the city's outskirts, I noticed him veering off course onto a familiar street I knew all too well."Why are we going this way?" I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me."You should visit Mrs. Camellia before we leave the city. We don't know when you'll have another opportunity," Romeo replied, his tone devoid of any intention to engage in conversation. I felt a pang of gratitude mixed with longing. Being separated from mama had left a void in my heart, and I longed to hear her comforting voice. "Thank you," I said, my words sincere and heartfelt. Staying away from her had been unbearable, and I wanted to ensure she was doing well. I had considered calling her, but facing her in person seemed like a daunting task.As we turned into the familiar street, the Mercedes came to a halt in front of my building. The driver opened the door for me, and Romeo's voice echoed in my ears. "I'll be waiti

Julia POV Stepping down the stairs, I walked in the direction of the kitchen. Following my usual routine, which I've been doing since I moved in here, waking up, eating, sleeping, reading, and repeating. Yesterday, Romeo told me that we would be leaving this morning. I had no desire to stay in an isolated place with him, but unfortunately, I had no say in the matter. As I entered the kitchen, hoping to find Luca, I was met by Romeo. He stood behind the counter, dressed in a pristine white T-shirt and gray joggers, busily stirring something in a stewpot. The enticing aroma of delicious breakfast engulfed me, triggering an intense growl from my hungry stomach. It was the first time I had encountered him in the morning; he usually left before I woke up. Typically, I would have breakfast with Luca or one of his men assigned to look after me. "Good morning," he greeted me with a stoic expression, his focus returning to his culinary work. Strangely, he seemed so domestic at this moment.
