(Dual POV)

(Olivia’s POV)

I ran.

The echoes of their voices—James’s accusations, Armando’s desperate pleas—still clung to me as I stumbled into the night. My chest was tight, my vision blurred, and the ring on my finger felt like a shackle I couldn’t remove fast enough.

Everything was a lie.

The man I had trusted, the man I had begun to care for, had orchestrated the destruction of my family. Armando had played me, just like James and Ferro had, and now I was left in the ruins of their games.

I tore the ring off my finger.

It wasn’t a declaration. It was a surrender. And I knew just what to do to make everyone pay.

Olivia’s POV

I didn’t know how long I wandered the streets before I ended up outside Ferro’s estate.

The guards at the gate didn’t stop me this time. They simply stepped aside, their expressions unreadable as I walked through the towering iron gates.

Inside, the house was quiet, save for the soft hum of classical music floating through the air. Ferro was waiting for me in t

    (Olivia’s POV)Ferro’s estate felt colder when I left.The deal had been struck, but as the gates closed behind me, a knot tightened in my chest. I was in over my head, aligning with a man like Ferro. But James had to fall—there was no other way. That was the one thing I craved and I was willing to give my all for that to happen. As much as I was angry and wanted to hate Armando, I just couldn’t and I hated myself for that.Still, Ferro’s parting words haunted me: “Remember, Olivia, trust is for fools. You’re better than that.”———-The office hadn’t changed, but James had.He sat behind his desk, the smirk I once found charming now a mask for desperation. The lines around his eyes were deeper, his posture less confident. But the arrogance was still there, festering beneath the surface. Just setting my eyes on the maniac made my blood boil.“Well, well,” he drawled, his voice dripping with mockery. “The prodigal wife. To what do I owe this honor?”I stepped forward, the folder clutche

    (Armando’s POV)I watched from the shadows as Olivia left Ferro’s estate, her steps faltering, her face pale.She didn’t know I was there. She didn’t know I’d followed her, seen the way Ferro’s eyes gleamed with victory as he leaned in close to her, whispering words meant to ensnare her on his balcony.But I knew.Ferro wasn’t just playing a game—he was closing in. And if I didn’t act now, I’d lose her forever.——The office smelled of smoke and leather, the air thick with the pressure of decisions I didn’t want to make. Matteo stood across from me, his expression grim as he laid the latest report on my desk.“Ferro’s moving fast,” he said, his tone clipped. “He’s consolidating his power, leveraging everything he’s got. He’s coming for you, boss.”“And Olivia,” I said, my voice low.Matteo hesitated, then nodded. “Yeah. Especially her.” I exhaled heavily and gritted my teeth.The thought of Ferro anywhere near her sent a surge of rage through me, but I forced myself to stay calm. Ferr

    (Dual POV: Olivia and Ferro)(Olivia’s POV)Armando’s sacrifice should have been enough to keep me safe or rather so I thought.That’s what I told myself when I lay in his arms the night he gave everything away. But deep down, I knew better. Ferro wasn’t the kind of man who left loose ends. And now, tied to this chair in his cold, damp prison, I realized how naïve I had been.Ferro had no intention of letting me go—not until he’d broken me and used me to destroy Armando. He kidnapped me just the night after Armando liquidated all his assets. I was on my way to the restaurant to get my favorite food which is Pizza. The man driving me was blocked and shot dead right in front of me. I was hit on te head with the butt of a gun and everything went blank.——-I grunted and flashed my eyes opened with a banging head in a room. The room was spinning, my wrists raw against the rope that held them tightly behind the chair. The dull ache in my side where Ferro’s Men had struck me earlier pulsed

Fine. I’ll enjoy breaking you piece by piece. You’re not leaving this room until you understand your place beneath me.”He turned and stormed out, leaving me in the cold, damp room, my wrists bound and the sound of his footsteps echoing in the silence.The hours crawled by in darkness. My body ached, my wrists raw from the ropes, and my cheek throbbed from Ferro’s slap and my mouth still bleeding. I wasn’t sure how long I had been tied to that chair—minutes, hours, days? Time didn’t matter in this hellhole. Only survival did.Ferro’s words kept resounding in my mind, taunting me. “You’re nothing. A pawn pretending to be a queen.” Tears welled in my eyes. I n

    (Olivia’s POV)I took a shaky breath, my heart pounding as I turned Ferro’s words over in my mind. He had lied to me before, twisted truths into weapons to drive a wedge between me and Armando. But had Armando been entirely truthful? Had he really sacrificed everything for me, or was Ferro right?I didn’t know.But deep down, beneath the layers of doubt and fear, there was something else—something I couldn’t ignore.I hated myself for it, but I couldn’t let it go. Despite everything, I wanted to believe in Armando.“I’m going with him,” I said finally, my voice trembling but resolute and my eyes pinned on Armando as we locked eyes together. Tears was in my eyes as he looked at me genuinely as though he was thankful that I chose him. Ferro’s smirk faltered, his eyes narrowing. “You’ll regret that for sure.”“Maybe,” I said, lifting my chin. “But at least if I do, it’ll be my mistake to make and not your manipulation.”Armando stepped forward, his movements slow, deliberate.

The sprawling view of the city outside doing nothing to calm the storm inside me. Armando stood by the window, his broad shoulders tense, his hands shoved into his pockets as he stared into the distance.“Say something,” I said, my voice cracking.He didn’t turn, but his voice came, low and rough. “I don’t know where to begin.”“Try the truth,” I snapped, folding my arms tightly across my chest to keep from shaking. I was so eager to hear what he had to say.He exhaled slowly, his head dropping slightly before he turned to face me. His dark eyes met mine, and for the first time, I saw something I couldn’t unsee—regret.Armando’s POVShe deserved the truth. She’d always deserved it. But saying it out loud, knowing it would shatter her even more than Ferro’s lies already had, was harder than I’d imagined.I stepped closer, keeping my movements slow, deliberate. “Your

    (Samantha’s POV)There’s a moment when the world decides you’re dead.I heard it in the way Ferro’s men laughed after the gunfire stopped, their footsteps retreating as they left me lying in a ditch. I felt it in the cold night air, in the blood pooling beneath me, and in the excruciating sting of the bullet that grazed my face.They thought they’d finished me. But Ferro underestimated me, just like James did. Just like everyone always had.I survived because that’s what I do.The night Ferro’s men turned on me was supposed to be my triumph. I had played my cards perfectly, feeding Ferro just enough information about James and Armando to make myself indispensable.But Ferro didn’t value loyalty. He valued leverage.“You’re too dangerous,” his lieutenant had said, his voice cold as the barrel of his gun pressed against my temple. “Ferro doesn’t keep liabilities.”I fought back, of course. I always fight. But

After I thought she had left me, she came back at the middle of the night and drugged me before tying me up.She sat across from me, her scarred face illuminated by the dim glow of a single bulb overhead. Her eyes burned with a hatred so deep it felt like it could consume me whole.“You think you’re special, don’t you?” she sneered, leaning back in her chair and crossing her legs. “Daddy’s little princess, always so perfect, so untouchable.” She smirked and turned her head.I clenched my jaw, refusing to give her the reaction she was looking for. As much as I was scared, I didn’t want her to feed off my fears.“Say something,” she barked, slamming a hand on the table between us. “Or are

My body felt heavy, as though every ounce of strength had been drained from me.Armando.The man who told and cried to me he loved me. The man who swore he’d protect me. The man who looked into my eyes and made me believe that maybe, just maybe, I wasn’t alone in this nightmare.And yet, there he was. His hands on another woman, his lips brushing against hers with the same tenderness he once showed me. My heart! Shattered!I tried to swallow the lump in my throat, but it wouldn’t budge. My chest felt tight, each breath a struggle as the betrayal sank in and I instantly felt dizzy. My legs couldn’t hold me up anymore as everything around me was spinning.“Olivia,” Celeste’s voice was soft, almost pitiful. “I’m sorry you had to see

    (Celeste’s POV)Ferro’s hideout was as grim as the man himself—cold, industrial, and reeking of blood and steel. The air was heavy with the metallic tang of iron, and the low hum of machinery in the background was a constant reminder of his empire’s ruthlessness.I stepped into the main chamber, my heels clicking against the concrete floor, the sound echoing ominously. Ferro was seated at a long metal table, a glass of scotch in one hand, his other casually drumming against the surface. His sharp eyes followed me as I approached, their glint as calculating as always.“Celeste,” he greeted, his voice smooth but wary. “To what do I owe the pleasure again?”I smiled sweetly, taking the seat opposite him. “Business, of course. I thought it was time we discussed our mutual interests.”He raised an eyebrow, swirling the amber liquid in his glass. “And what might those be?”“Olivia Pierce,” I said, my voice dipping into a dangerous

I stared out the window, the city blurring into streaks of light as the car hummed softly.I couldn’t stop replaying the last few hours in my head—Celeste’s concerned stare, Armando’s furious words, the chaos that seemed to follow me everywhere. I just couldn’t trust or allow myself to be vulnerable around Armando.Matteo’s silence only made my thoughts louder. He was Armando’s shadow, his ever-loyal right hand, and yet, somehow, he felt impenetrable.“Matteo,” I said cautiously, my voice cutting through the quiet.He glanced at me briefly in the rearview mirror but said nothing.“What’s Armando like?” I asked, my tone casual but laced with curiosity. I didn’t even know how and why I asked that question.“He’s the boss,” Matteo repl

His hand brushed a strand of hair from my face, his touch gentle but desperate.I blinked slowly, the light in the room too harsh for my pounding head. Every breath felt like a struggle, and the metallic taste of poison still lingered on my tongue.“You’re awake,” he said, relief flooding his voice.I struggled to sit up, but his hands steadied me. “How…?” I literally thought I was going to die after the pain I had felt before I passed out. The second time I was passing out in how many days.“An antidote,” he said curtly. “We were lucky Dominic got his hands on it in time to give it to the doctor.”My mind swirled with fragments of the summit, Celeste’s soothi

I cared less all I cared about was how I was going to get back at Ferro.When we finally got back to the safe house, I decided to break the silence. “Celeste invited me to a women’s summit she’s hosting next week.” I frowned with my hands folded and placed on my breast as I didn’t even want to have any conversation with him.He didn’t respond immediately, but I could see the muscles in his jaw clench.“And?” he asked finally, his tone clipped.“I’m going,” I said simply and also turned to leave.He turned to me, his dark eyes narrowing. “You’re not serious.”I narrowed my eyes in shock.

As I crossed the threshold, I embraced an air of confidence, allowing the soft click of my heels to herald my entrance into this enchanting scene.The air was thick with ambition and pretense. I could see it in the forced smiles, the hollow laughter, the way everyone sized each other up while pretending to be friends.It was perfect.I let my lips curve into a soft smile, just enough to seem approachable, not enough to betray my thoughts. My gown, a deep emerald green, hugged my body like a lover, shimmering subtly with every step. I knew how to turn heads without looking like I was trying to—and tonight, I wanted all the eyes on me.But my gaze was fixed on two people.Armando Moretti and Olivia Pierce.They stood by the bar,

My eyelids were heavy, as though they had been weighted down for an eternity, but I forced them open.The light above me was muted, soft against the pale walls of a hospital room. The sterile smell of antiseptic hit my senses as my vision cleared. I groaned in slight pain as I tried to move.And then I saw him.Armando was slumped in a chair beside me, his dark eyes rimmed with exhaustion and worry, his hand gripping mine so tightly it ached. His suit jacket was wrinkled, his tie loosened—a rare sight for a man who prided himself on precision. For a moment I was terrified seeing him and I flinged.When he noticed my movement, his head shot up, his expression transforming from despair to unbridled relief.“Olivia,” he breathed, his voice breaking. “You’re awake.” There was shock and joy in

    (Olivia’s POV)There were blinding lights.I lifted my hands to shield my face, squinting as the searing brightness pressed against my closed eyelids. It was endless, consuming, like staring into the sun. Slowly, the intensity ebbed, the light softening to a warm glow that bathed the space in golden hues.I lowered my hands cautiously, blinking to adjust. The world around me was unfamiliar—a vast expanse of white, pristine and unbroken. No walls. No sky. Just light.My breaths came unevenly as I turned in place, searching for something, anything to ground me. That’s when I saw it—a door, tall and ornate, standing alone in the void. Its wood was dark, polished, and adorned with intricate carvings that seemed to shift subtly, like whispers frozen in time.I hesitated.The air felt heavier as I approached the door, my steps echoing faintly despite the lack of visible floor. Each step made my heart pound harder, the sound reverb

The salt spray clung to my skin, but it couldn’t wash away the weight crushing my chest. I couldn’t just get the face of Olivia out of my mind. My chest heaved and I really hated this feeling so much and really wished I would never feel this way.Olivia was out there, trapped in the clutches of a monster. Every second that passed felt like a knife twisting in my gut. I knew Ferro and I knew he was. Ruthless son of a bitch and I swore that if I see just a scratch on Olivia’s body, I would rip him apart and feed his balls to the vultures.Dominic’s voice crackled over the headset. “We’re five minutes out.
