Selena woke up slowly, the warmth of a blanket wrapped around her. She blinked, disoriented, her eyes scanning the dimly lit library. The flicker of candlelight cast gentle shadows on the walls, and the room was still. She had fallen asleep in one of the chairs after her long, exhausting conversation with Matteo. Her body ached from sitting for so long, and the soft, soothing silence of the library had lured her into a deep, unplanned sleep. The blanket that now covered her felt comforting, though she hadn’t noticed when it was placed over her. Her fingers brushed against the fabric, but she didn’t care about that now. What mattered was Adrian—she needed answers, and she needed them now.

Her mind was a whirlwind as she stood up, stretching her stiff muscles. The floor creaked underfoot as she walked toward the door, the cold air hitting her skin like a slap. The sun had already dipped below the horizon, leaving only a faint glow in the sky. She couldn’t waste any more time. The questi

    The air in the grand hall was silent. The room was dimly lit, the glow of the chandelier above casting long shadows across the polished mahogany table. Every seat was filled with men—his men. His family. Some leaned back in their chairs, arms crossed, their faces hardened with skepticism. Others murmured among themselves, whispering in hushed voices as Adrian stood at the head of the table, his expression unreadable. Matteo stood beside him, arms stiff at his sides, his gaze scanning the room warily. He knew this wasn’t going to be easy. Adrian exhaled slowly before speaking. “I called you all here because there’s something we need to discuss.” A low murmur spread across the room. “I’ve made a decision,” he continued, his voice even but firm. “I want to make a pact with the Monrelli family.” Silence. Then— “Are you out of your fucking mind?” The voice came from across the table, deep and laced with disbelief. The man who spoke—Marco, a thick-built man with graying hair a

    The night air was thick with tension, the docks stretching before them, dark and silent except for the occasional creak of the wooden planks beneath their feet. The ocean waves lapped gently against the shore, a stark contrast to the storm brewing among the men waiting in the shadows. Adrian stood at the edge of the pier, his coat billowing slightly in the wind. His sharp eyes locked onto the distant lights of a cargo ship approaching, fingers flexing at his sides. The shipment was on schedule, but something felt off. "Everything in place?" he asked, voice calm but laced with steel. Matteo, standing beside him, nodded. "Yeah. Our guys are stationed all around. The ship docks in ten minutes. We offload, move fast, and get the shit out of here before the cops even take a piss break." Adrian exhaled slowly, jaw tightening. "And Cassio's men?" Matteo hesitated—a fucking half-second too long. "They’re supposed to be watching the east entrance. But I don’t trust those assholes,"

    Selena moved carefully, balancing a tray of drinks as she approached the impatient customer’s table. The man, dressed in a sharp navy suit and gold cufflinks, was already tapping his fingers loudly on the table. His impatient demeanor and piercing gaze made Selena feel even more nervous as she placed the coffee in front of him. “This better not be cold,” he muttered, snatching the cup from the tray. He took a sip and froze. His face twisted into a look of disgust, and Selena immediately knew something was wrong. “Cold coffee?” he barked, his voice loud enough for the entire café to hear. “Are you even capable of doing your job?” “I—I’m sorry, sir. I’ll fix it right away,” Selena stammered, trying to take the cup back. Before she could reach for it, the man stood up and poured the cold coffee over her, the liquid splashing onto her shirt and soaking her uniform. Gasps rippled through the café as all eyes turned to the commotion. “This is unacceptable!” the man shouted again,

    Selena struggled desperately, pulling and twisting her arm, but the man’s grip was firm, like iron shackles clamping her down. Her heart pounded wildly, and her throat burned from screaming, yet the men surrounding her seemed like they were having fun with everything. They exchanged smirks, their eyes gleaming with twisted amusement. “Don’t do this!” she cried, her voice cracking under the weight of her desperation. “Please, don’t!” Her father, standing just a few feet away, looked down at the ground, his face pale with shame. He fidgeted, his hands trembling, but he refused to meet her gaze. His betrayal cut deeper than anything else. “Dad, help me! Please!” Selena’s tear-streaked face turned to him, searching for a glimmer of the man who had once protected her. Instead, her father mumbled, “Selena, this… this is the only way. You have to understand. Do this for me. For us.” His voice was hollow, devoid of the love she had once trusted. Selena’s breath hitched, and her visi

    Adrian watched her closely, the way her shoulders stiffened, her eyes darting toward the exit like a trapped animal seeking any way out. He had expected this reaction—her defiance, her determination to fight even when the odds were against her. It was one of the things that had drawn him to her in the first place. But now, her fire only fueled his anger.She thought she could leave him. After everything. After making him fall for her, she vanished without a word, leaving him to piece together the shattered remnants of his heart. And now, seeing her again, disheveled and desperate, was both a balm to his wounded pride and a spark to the fury simmering beneath his calm exterior.Adrian took a step closer, closing the distance between them. "Do you have any idea what it felt like, Selena?" he asked, his voice low but charged with emotion. "To wake up one morning and realize you were gone? No explanation, no goodbye—just emptiness." Selena met his gaze, her own eyes blazing with unshed

    Chapter FourSelena struggled against the grip of the man who led her up the grand staircase of Adrian’s mansion. His hold was firm, but not harsh, as though he had been given strict orders not to hurt her. That realization didn’t comfort her. It only made her more aware of how much control Adrian had over her situation. The mansion was a mix of old-world elegance and modern luxury. Chandeliers sparkled above her head, casting golden light on polished marble floors and ornate walls. But Selena barely noticed the beauty around her. To her, it felt like a prison, no matter how gilded. “Let me go,” she snapped, her voice sharper than the heels of her boots clacking against the floor. The man didn’t stop walking, nor did he look at her. “You’ll only make things worse for yourself if you resist,” he said flatly. Selena bristled. “Worse? Being locked up in his house isn’t bad enough?” The man glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, his expression unreadable. “You think Adrian

    Selena woke up to sunlight streaming through the iron-barred window of her room. She had barely slept. Her mind had been restless, filled with thoughts of escape, frustration, and Adrian’s unnerving presence. Her hands clenched into fists as she sat up in the oversized bed, its soft sheets offering little comfort. Today, she decided, she would learn more about this mansion. If she was going to escape, she needed to know its layout and weaknesses. Adrian couldn’t keep her caged forever, no matter how smug he seemed. After a quick breakfast delivered by a silent guard, Selena began to explore under the guise of compliance. She acted like she had accepted her situation, letting her movements appear curious instead of desperate. The guard stationed outside her door didn’t follow her too closely, giving her a small measure of freedom. She wandered the wide hallways, taking in the opulent decor: tall mirrors, rich tapestries, and intricate carvings on the wooden panels. But Selena was

    The morning light cast long shadows across Selena's room as she stood at the window, her fingers tracing the iron bars that kept her caged. Last night's dinner with Adrian had left her unsettled, his words about protecting her from a “danger” swirling in her mind like autumn leaves in a storm. She couldn't shake the way his eyes had followed her every movement, as if searching for something he'd lost long ago. Above all, she couldn't forget his warning about Dmitri, the unnamed threat that seemed to lurk just beyond these gilded walls.A sharp crack echoed from somewhere in the grounds, making her flinch. Her heart raced until she realized it was just the guards doing their routine patrols. Their presence had increased lately, their movements more alert, more purposeful. Something was brewing beneath the surface of Adrian's carefully controlled world, and Selena could feel it in the air like the static before a storm.A knock at her door startled her from her thoughts. It wasn't the u

    Selena sat on the couch, a book in her lap, but she wasn’t really reading. Her mind was spinning with everything that had happened over the last few days. Nathan’s kiss, Adrian’s cruel words—it was all too much. Just as she was starting to feel overwhelmed again, Valerie strolled into the living room with a big, mischievous grin on her face. Selena raised an eyebrow. “What’s with the smile?” Valerie plopped onto the armchair, looking smug. “Oh, nothing. Just thinking about shaking things up a little.” Selena frowned. “What does that mean? What are you up to, Val?” Valerie leaned back, crossing her legs. “Matteo. He’s always so serious, so distant. I think it’s time someone showed him how to have fun.” “Matteo?” Selena blinked. “You mean *our* Matteo? Quiet, doesn’t-talk-to-anyone Matteo?” Valerie grinned. “The very same. He needs to lighten up. And I’m just the person to help him with that.” Selena stared at her friend, unsure if she was joking or serious. “Valerie, Ma

    Selena stormed down the hallway, her breath coming in sharp bursts. Every step she took away from Adrian’s room felt like a victory. Her anger burned brightly in her chest, drowning out the pain that threatened to creep in. She wouldn’t cry over him—not tonight, not ever again.As she reached the corner of the hallway, she nearly bumped into a young maid carrying a stack of folded towels. The girl gasped, her eyes wide as she looked up at Selena. "Ma'am," the maid stammered, adjusting the towels in her arms. "Is everything all right?" Selena squared her shoulders, forcing her voice to remain steady. "Everything is fine. I need a different room to sleep in tonight. Can you show me one?" The maid hesitated, her gaze flickering with curiosity. She seemed unsure whether to follow Selena’s instructions or ask questions. "A... different room?" she repeated cautiously. "Yes," Selena said firmly, narrowing her eyes. "I don’t want to stay in that room anymore. Is there a problem?" Th

    Selena opened the door to Adrian’s room, surprised to find him sitting there. He hadn’t slept in this room for the past few days, and she hadn’t expected to see him now. The room was dark, only lit by the fading light outside the window. Adrian’s eyes flicked up to meet hers, his expression unreadable.“What are you doing here?” Selena asked, stepping further into the room. She didn’t know why it bothered her, but seeing him here, in the space that used to feel like home, made her uneasy.Adrian didn’t answer right away. He just stared at her for a moment, his jaw clenched. Then, his voice broke the silence, low and cold. “Are you disgusted seeing your husband in his room?”Selena frowned, unsure of how to respond. “Why would you say that?” she asked, her heart beginning to race. Adrian stood up suddenly, closing the distance between them with long, angry strides. He grabbed her arm roughly, his grip tight as he pulled her closer. “Are you disgusted by me, Selena?” he asked, his voic

    The late afternoon sun poured over the garden, casting long shadows across the stone path. Selena walked slowly, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, lost in thought. The atmosphere in the mansion had been unbearable lately, and she needed the fresh air to think clearly. Her argument with Adrian replayed in her mind, stoking her frustration. They hadn’t argued about love or confessions, but about priorities. Adrian had been focused on protecting the gang at all costs, shutting everyone else out in the process. Selena had tried to reason with him, to tell him that his methods were alienating the people who cared about him, but he wouldn’t listen. She had left the conversation feeling unheard and dismissed, her anger bubbling just under the surface. She couldn’t shake the feeling that Adrian saw her as naïve, incapable of understanding his burdens. Now, as she walked through the garden, the cool breeze did little to calm her nerves. “Selena?” a voice called softly from behind

    The whole house was silent, except for the faint ticking of a clock somewhere down the hall. Selena moved through the dimly lit corridors, her heels clicking against the marble floors. She wasn’t supposed to be here. She knew that. But something in her gut had drawn her back, and now she found herself standing outside Adrian’s study, the faint glow of a fire flickering through the slightly ajar door. She hesitated. After their argument at the dinner party, she had sworn to stay far away from him and the troubles that came with his world. But witnessing the heated argument between Adrian and Nathan earlier had shaken her. Even though he hates her she didn't like the the thought of Adrian dealing with it alone. With a deep breath, she pushed the door open. Adrian sat in a high-backed leather chair, his posture rigid, his gaze fixed on the glass of whiskey in his hand. The warm light of the fire danced across his sharp features, casting shadows that made him look even more dangero

    The mansion was looked and felt calm, but everyone was walking on tiptoes. Adrian and Nathan had been at each other’s throats for weeks, and tonight felt like it was about to explode. Everyone inside the house moved in hushed silence, heads low, avoiding the tension crackling between the two men. Valerie, who normally didn’t care to involve herself, knew better than to step in the middle of this storm. Selena, sitting in the library with a book in her hands, couldn’t focus. She tried to lose herself in the words, but every time she tried to turn the page, her mind would drift back to the mess between Adrian and Nathan. Their relationship had always been strained, but now it felt like they were two ticking time bombs, just waiting for the other to explode. Nathan was reckless, constantly challenging Adrian, while Adrian, hated being challenged. The argument in Adrian’s study started as a murmur, but it quickly escalated. Selena put the book aside, her heart racing. She didn’t need to
