"Luca, what the hell are you doing?" Isla’s voice was sharp, but her expression was puzzled.

Luca froze, his hand dropping. "Isla, I was just—"

Isla cut him off. "Don't you know the meeting started downstairs? What are you still doing here?"

Luca’s face darkened, but he quickly regained composure. Luckily for him, Isla did not notice what he was trying to do.

"Yes. I lost track of time, I was just here to get Sierra, Dominic was asking for her downstairs,” he said, hoping that Isla believed his lie. “I’m going downstairs now. You guys should join us soon."

He went past Isla and left the room, closing the door behind him.

Sierra let out a shaky breath. "Thank you, Isla."

Isla walked over and placed a comforting hand on Sierra’s shoulder. "Thank you? Sierra are you okay? Did Luca say or do something?"

Sierra stopped for a moment, though her hands were still trembling, she knew telling Isla about the advances Luca was making on her would cause some rift in the family. So she decided to k

    Nathan's heart pounded in his chest as he turned to face Marcus, who was eyeing him with suspicion. He quickly ended the call with Kim, trying to compose himself."Uh, Marcus, I was just talking to my cousin," Nathan stammered, his voice betraying his anxiety. "He’s been worried about me, you know, after the... incident."Marcus's eyes narrowed, clearly unconvinced. "Your cousin? Then why were you whispering?, if I didn't know any better I would think you were up to something"Nathan swallowed hard. "I didn’t want to interrupt the meeting. It was a quick call."Marcus took a step closer, his presence intimidating. "You better not be hiding anything, Nathan. You know how things work around here."Nathan nodded vigorously. "Of course, Marcus. I wouldn’t dream of it."Marcus studied him for a moment longer before finally nodding. "Alright. But remember, I’m watching you."As Marcus turned and walked away, Nathan let out a shaky breath. He needed to think fast. If Marcus or anyone else fo

    Sierra hesitated, seeing the shift in Dominic's expression from concern to guarded caution. She knew that pressing the topic could lead to more questions she wasn't ready to answer. Quickly, she decided to change the subject.“I…..uhm couldn’t hear you guys properly but I believed you were talking about the election.” She said, hoping to change the subject. "I wanted to ask you about the upcoming election event rally," she said, forcing a bright smile. "I'm excited about it."Dominic’s eyes softened again, though the tension didn’t completely leave his face. "The mayor election event rally? Yes, it’s coming up soon. We’re raising funds for the new campaign for Vittorio's election."Sierra nodded eagerly. "I’d love to help with the preparations. Maybe I could coordinate with the supporters or handle the decorations?"Dominic’s smile returned, more genuine this time. "That sounds like a great idea. I’m sure your touch will make the event even more special."She relaxed a bit, relieved a

    The luxurious grand ballroom at the Riverton Hotel was filled with a mix of wealth and political aspirations. Shimmering crystal chandeliers illuminate the guests mingling at Vittorio's campaign for mayor, each one a possible friend or foe. Sierra nervously straightened her dress, looking around the room. Dominic stood next to her, providing a comforting anchor amidst the crowd of strangers. The two had just finished their passionate lovemaking and now they join the unknowing guests at the event."Chill out, Sierra," Dominic quietly said, feeling her stress. "We're here to build friendships, not create adversaries."Sierra forced a smile. “Easier said than done. Everyone looks like they’re plotting something.”Dominic chuckled. “Well babe, welcome to politics.”They moved through the crowd, exchanging polite nods and handshakes. Sierra spotted Vittorio near the stage, surrounded by a group of enthusiastic supporters. He caught her eye and gave a reassuring nod.“Sierra, Dominic! Over

    Isla walked back and forth in her room, with long shadows on the walls from the dim light of the chandelier. The memory of Nathan's conversation with Yuta kept replaying in her mind as she tightened her fists. She needed to face him and attempt to uncover the truth.A soft knock on her door broke her thoughts. "Isla? Are you in there?" Nathan’s voice was hesitant.Taking a deep breath, she opened the door. "We need to talk. Now."Nathan stepped inside, his face a mixture of concern and confusion. "What’s wrong?"Isla closed the door behind him, her eyes blazing. "I overheard your conversation with Yuta. I know you're working for the Yakuza."Nathan's eyes widened. "Isla, I—""Don't lie to me, Nathan!" Isla's voice was sharp, cutting through the air like a knife. "I know you're a spy for the Yakuza leader. I know everything."Nathan took a step back, his face paling. "Isla, please, let me explain—""You'd better tell me the whole truth," Isla interrupted, her tone fierce. "Or I’ll go s

And behind them was a legion of Morgan men.Kazuya’s eyes flicked to the twins, assessing the situation. “You should have told us you were expecting someone, Mayor?”Anderson swallowed hard. “I…..I wasn’t expecting them. They have… a vested interest in this election.”Ryder’s smile widened. “Vested interest? That’s one way to put it.”Hunter crossed his arms. “We couldn’t help but notice you’re consorting with some low-tier mafia gangs, Anderson. Care to explain?”Anderson stammered, “I… I can explain. We were just discussing… security measures.”Ryder’s eyes gleamed with amusement. “Security measures, huh? Sounds more like a conspiracy to me.”Kazuya stood, his expression unreadable. “T

    The following day, Sierra woke up to the gentle glow of dawn shining through her curtains. She yawned and smiled happily, recalling the events of the night before. Dominic stayed late, whispering sweet words and keeping her close until early morning. His touch left a lasting imprint, filling her heart with warmth.Right on time, she received a message from him on her buzzing phone.“Morning, beautiful. How did you sleep?”Sierra smiled, as she looked around the bedroom wondering where Dominic was typing from as he was not in the room with her at the moment. But she quickly typed back.“I slept like a baby. Thanks to you. Where are you?His reply came almost instantly.“I had an early meeting to attend to, but I’m heading back now. I Couldn’t stop thinking about you.

    Nathan adjusted the tiny tracker hidden in his watch, his fingers trembling slightly. "You sure this will work, Isla?" he asked, his voice low and hushed.Isla, standing a few feet away, nodded, her eyes intense with determination. "It has to. Just keep your cool and don't let them suspect anything. I'll be listening in the whole time."Isla had devised a plan to help Nathan gather enough evidence to help them, convince Dominic and the rest of the family that Nathan was coerced into being a spy. The plan involved Nathan meeting up with the Japanese gang and placing a tracker on Nathan as well as a mini spy camera. They would be able to gather enough evidence to show the family.Nathan inhaled deeply, attempting to calm his nerves. "Okay. I am taking a huge risk here.”Isla said as she placed her palm on Nathan's face. “ you are going to be fine, I promise.” She said as she placed a kiss on his lips.As their lips parted Nathan responded, “ Thanks babe, not just for this, but for also

As he made his way back to his car and then drove to the van Isla was in, he couldn't rid himself of the unsettling sense that something had gone very wrong.While Isla waited in the van, she anxiously tapped her fingers on the steering wheel. After Nathan eventually got in, she breathed a sigh of relief."Thank God you’re okay," she said, her voice trembling slightly.Nathan nodded, still shaken. "They almost caught someone spying on us. I'm not sure who it was, but it could complicate things."Isla frowned, concern etched across her face. "We need to be more careful. Did you get any useful information?"Nathan recounted the conversation, his words tumbling out in a rush. "Kazuya wants me to get more substantial intel on Dominic's campaign.

    The sun looked at her from the window in her bedroom, in a room painted a beautiful gold against a purple sky. A gleam in the eyes of Sierra, the sun caught the beauty for her only hours ago. She lay in bed reading her book, looking at the ceiling, remembering the day of the attack. The things she’d been told that night were like no other. She’d been betrayed, she was framed and lost. But there was a light that flickered in her darkness, below all the anger and confusion. He’d been honest, and he had taken his actions far too far, but they were because he loved me deeply and she couldn’t have had that things without him.There was a soft knock on the door that knocked and broke her dream. She looked inside, not sure if she was ready for him to come around to her. But the gentle knock of the door would not discourage him.“Come in,” she said, her voice barely a whisper.Dominic strolled in, his face twirling with anxiety and hope and holding a tray piled up with breakfast — coffee, pas

    The flames in the fireplace crackled merrily, sending flickers of light and shadow on the walls of Dominic's study. Usually a place of strategizing and tranquil contemplation, today it almost seemed to be filled with a tangible tension. Sierra looked at Dominic; the weight of her earlier confession sat upon the atmosphere. While comforted by forgiveness, she felt the pressure of something disconcerting — the deep impression that Dominic's perception of forgiveness had layers beyond what he let on. He swirled the amber liquid in his glass, eyes on the eddies created in it. He chose to remain absent verbally for a long time in order to let her absorb the weight of his wisdom and to chew on the ramifications of his acknowledgment. When he finally looked up, his gaze pierced through her own. "There's another thing you ought to know," he said slowly and methodically. Sierra's heart stuttered. "What?" she asked in little more than a whisper. "This," he said after a long sip of his drink

  • Sierra Morgan: The Don’s Bride   Chapter 120: Sierra's Guilt

    The moon cast long, skeletal shadows across the manicured lawns of the Rinaldi estate, mirroring the disquiet that gnawed at Sierra's soul. The recent peace, the tentative steps towards normalcy, felt like a fragile illusion, threatening to shatter at any moment. She stood on the balcony of her room, the cool night air doing little to quell the feverish turmoil within her.She had tried to bury it, to ignore the insidious whispers of her conscience, but the guilt was relentless, a constant companion that haunted her waking hours and invaded her dreams. The truth was a festering wound, and she knew she could no longer keep it hidden.Dominic found her there, his presence a silent question in the darkness. He leaned against the railing beside her, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon."You're quiet tonight," he observed, his voice low and gentle. "Something on your mind?"Sierra flinched, her heart pounding in her chest. This was it. The moment of truth. She took a deep breath, steelin

    The sun streamed through the windows of the Rinaldi estate, casting a golden glow on the newly repaired walls. The scars of the Morgan ambush were still visible, a stark reminder of the violence that had recently engulfed their lives, but a sense of cautious optimism had begun to permeate the air. With Sergio’s treachery exposed and his life extinguished, and the lingering threat of the Yakuza quelled, the Rinaldi family could finally begin to heal.Dominic stood on the terrace, overlooking the sprawling gardens, his gaze distant. The weight of leadership, the constant pressure to protect his family, had etched lines of weariness onto his face. But there was also a newfound lightness in his eyes, a sense of peace he hadn't felt in years.Sierra approached him, her footsteps soft on the stone tiles. She placed a gentle hand on his arm, her touch sending a warm current through him."What are you thinking about?" she asked, her voice soft and melodic.Dominic turned to her, a faint smile

    The gates of the Rinaldi estate loomed, iron teeth barring Sergio from the world he once considered his own. Disgraced, stripped of his power and banished from the family he’d betrayed, he stood on the precipice of an uncertain future. His wives, their faces etched with a mixture of fear and resentment, huddled behind him, their once-lavish wardrobes now appearing gaudy and out of place against the bleak landscape.He spat on the ground, a gesture of defiance that felt pathetically inadequate against the crushing weight of his downfall. "This isn't over," he muttered, his voice laced with venom. "Dominic may think he's won, but I'll be back. I'll reclaim what's rightfully mine. The Donship will be mine again."Isabella, his most ambitious wife, stepped forward, her eyes gleaming with a dangerous spark. "How, Sergio? You have nothing. No power, no resources, no allies.""I have my wits," Sergio sneered, his hand clenching into a fist. "And I have a few… loose ends to tie up. Dominic th

    The air in Dominic's study was thick with unspoken accusations, a silent battleground of suspicion and simmering resentment. The opulent room, usually a sanctuary of strategic planning, felt like a gilded cage, trapping Sergio in its suffocating grandeur. He fidgeted, his silk shirt clinging uncomfortably to his skin, the weight of his impending confession pressing down on him like a physical burden.Dominic sat behind his mahogany desk, his face an impassive mask. The only indication of the storm raging within him was the tight clench of his jaw and the icy glint in his eyes. He hadn't uttered a word since summoning Sergio, letting the silence amplify the gravity of the situation.Finally, Sergio could bear it no longer. He shifted his weight, clearing his throat, the sound echoing unnaturally loud in the tense atmosphere."Dominic," he began, his voice a strained whisper, "I… I know why you've called me here."Dominic remained silent, his gaze unwavering, urging Sergio on with its s

    The sirens wailed, a mournful cry echoing through the ravaged Rinaldi estate. The immediate threat had been neutralized, the Morgan attackers lying lifeless amidst the opulent ruins. But the air remained thick with tension, the weight of betrayal pressing down on everyone. Dominic, his face a thundercloud, oversaw the cleanup, barking orders with a controlled fury that sent shivers down the spines of even his most loyal men.He needed to find Charlotte.He stalked through the grounds, his eyes scanning the shadows, his hand never straying far from the gun holstered at his hip. He had to face her, to understand how she could have sunk so low, how she could have so callously endangered the people he loved.Suddenly, a shout pierced the air. "Don Dominic! We've found her!"Dominic's heart leaped into his throat. He followed the sound of the voice, his pace quickening, his anticipation building with each step.He found her near the back gate, attempting to slip away unnoticed. She was dis

    The silence was deceptive, a fragile veneer stretched over the simmering tension that had gripped the Rinaldi estate since Charlotte's expulsion. Dominic had left that morning, a grim set to his jaw, to handle pressing matters concerning the family's business – a power play in Sicily that couldn't be ignored. He'd entrusted Luca with the estate's security, a decision Sierra hoped wouldn't be his undoing.She stood by the window in the library, a book open in her hands, but her eyes weren't focused on the page. She felt it in her bones – something was coming. The air was thick with foreboding, a silent scream building in her chest.Sarai bustled in, her usual cheerful demeanor replaced with a nervous energy. "Sierra, darling, have you seen Luca? I can't find him anywhere, and the guards seem… distracted."Before Sierra could answer, a bloodcurdling scream pierced the air, followed by the unmistakable sound of gunfire."What was that?" Sarai gasped, her eyes widening with terror."Troub

    The sterile scent of the hospital room hung heavy in the air, a constant reminder of the precarious situation. Dominic sat vigil by Charlotte's bedside, his face etched with worry. She was sleeping fitfully, hooked up to monitors, the rhythmic beeping a constant counterpoint to the anxieties swirling in his mind.Sierra watched him from the doorway, her heart aching. She knew she had to tell him the truth about Charlotte, but the timing always seemed wrong. Every time she tried, something would happen – a crisis, an interruption, or Charlotte's expertly timed displays of vulnerability.Enzo materialized beside her, his expression grim. "Don Dominic," he murmured, his voice low, "I need to speak with you. It's urgent."Dominic looked up, his brow furrowed. "What is it, Enzo? Can't it wait? Charlotte needs me.""No, Don Dominic," Enzo insisted, his voice firm. "It can't wait. It concerns Charlotte."Dominic's eyes narrowed. He glanced at Charlotte, then back at Enzo, a flicker of suspic
