The night air was crisp, but Selena’s skin burned. Not from the cold, not from fear—but from something deeper, something more dangerous. She paced the garden, her heels clicking against the stone pathway, trying to shake off the weight of Nathan’s words.

"Adrian doesn’t share."

As if she was his to claim. As if she hadn’t spent years keeping him at a distance, pretending his touch didn’t linger long after he was gone.

Nathan stood a few feet away, arms crossed, watching her. “Are you going to say something?”

Selena stopped pacing. “What do you want me to say?”

Nathan exhaled. “That you understand. That you know why he did that.”

She scoffed. “Why he nearly killed a man in front of everyone?”

Nathan didn’t flinch. “For you.”

Selena’s breath hitched. She spun on her heel, crossing her arms. “I didn’t ask for that.”

Nathan tilted his head. “Didn’t you?”

Her heart pounded. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

Nathan stepped closer, lowering his voice. “You knew wh

    Selena walked through the dimly lit hallways, her footsteps echoing softly against the polished marble floors. The chandeliers above cast long shadows across the walls, making the grand estate feel emptier than ever. Her heart still raced from her argument with Adrian, but she forced herself to push those emotions aside. She needed to talk to him. She needed answers. Her pace quickened as she neared his study. The heavy wooden doors were slightly ajar, and just as she reached for the handle, she heard voices from inside. A woman’s voice. Soft. Sultry. Familiar. Selena hesitated, her fingers hovering above the door. Then she heard a low chuckle—Adrian’s chuckle. A strange, sinking feeling settled in her chest as she leaned closer. “Adrian,” Isabelle’s voice purred, “you always make things so… interesting.” Selena’s grip tightened on the doorframe. “Do I?” Adrian’s voice sounded like he was intrigued, but there was no warmth in his tone. She swallowed hard and, b

    The warm water cascaded over Valerie’s shoulders as she leaned against the tiled wall of the shower, letting the steam wrap around her. She should have been relaxing, letting the tension ease from her body. But no matter how much she tried, her mind wouldn’t stop racing. Her brother Adrian had been acting strangely lately. Distant. Guarded. And she knew exactly why. It was her fault. Or maybe not exactly her fault, but she hadn’t done enough to stop it. Ever since that woman came into their lives, things had started to change. Isabelle the conniving, manipulative bitch Adrian had so foolishly brought into their home—had dug her claws into him so deeply that Valerie barely recognized the brother she had grown up with. Adrian used to trust her used to tell her everything. Now, he kept secrets. And Isabelle? She was always there, always watching, twisting everything, making herself seem like some perfect angel when Valerie she was anything but. She could see right through h

    The morning sunlight filtered through the kitchen windows as Selena hummed softly, rolling up the sleeves of her oversized sweater. She had woken up feeling restless and decided to do something useful—like making breakfast. She wasn’t exactly a great cook, but how hard could it be? As she stepped into the kitchen, she found a maid standing by the stove, stirring a pot. The woman turned, startled. “M-Mistress?” The maid blinked rapidly, clearly not expecting to see her there. Selena offered a small smile. “You can call me Selena.” The maid hesitated, shifting awkwardly. “I’m Maria.” “Nice to meet you, Maria,” Selena said cheerfully, walking toward the counter. “I thought I’d make breakfast today.” Maria’s eyes widened. “You… you want to cook?” “Yes.” Selena nodded, grabbing an apron and tying it around her waist. “I mean, how hard can it be?” Maria opened her mouth, then closed it, looking conflicted. “Mist—I mean, Selena… you don’t have to do that. That’s our job.”

    Selena sat on the terrace long after Nathan left, staring at the untouched glass of orange juice. The morning breeze felt cool against her skin, but her mind was burning with thoughts she didn’t want to have. Mafias don’t divorce.That one sentence had unraveled everything she thought she knew about her situation. She had signed a contract, believing that once it was over, she would be free. But now? Now she was trapped. Footsteps echoed behind her. She turned to see Maria standing at the doorway, hesitant. “Mrs,” Maria said softly. “Breakfast is ready. Should I bring it here?” Selena shook her head, forcing a smile. “No, I’ll eat inside.” Maria nodded and disappeared back into the house. Selena leaned back in her chair, her fingers tapping against the glass as she let the weight of Nathan’s words settle. No divorces. No easy way out. The only way to be free was through death—hers or Adrian’s. She let out a slow breath before speaking. “Then I need to learn the rules.”

    Adrian sat in his office, his fingers loosely holding a pen while his eyes remained locked on the file in front of him. He hadn’t flipped a page in the last five minutes. The words blurred together, meaningless, as his thoughts spiraled elsewhere. Selena.She wasn’t just angry—anger, he could handle. She wasn’t avoiding him, either. Avoidance meant she still acknowledged him, even if only in irritation. No, Selena had gone beyond that. She treated him like he didn’t exist. No glares, no insults, no hatred. Just… nothing. And somehow, that was worse than any argument she could throw at him. His jaw clenched as he drummed his fingers against the desk, his patience thinning with every second that passed without her looking at him, speaking to him, or acknowledging that he was still there. Matteo stood nearby, watching with an amused expression. He had been observing Adrian brood in silence for far too long. He smirked. He knew why. Adrian had messed up. Bringing Isabelle into the

    Selena slammed the bedroom door shut, the sound echoing through the lavish suite. "Damn him," she muttered, pacing the plush carpet. She felt like a caged animal, trapped in Adrian's gilded cage. Her phone was still in her purse downstairs, and she cursed herself for not grabbing it. She needed to contact Nathan, to let him know where she was. Or maybe she should call the police. But would they even help her? Adrian had connections everywhere. She was practically invisible to the law if Adrian wanted it that way.She stalked over to the window, gazing out at the city lights twinkling below. It was a beautiful view, but all she felt was a suffocating sense of confinement. She needed to escape, to regain control of her life. But how?A knock on the door made her jump. "Go away!" she yelled.The door opened anyway, and Adrian walked in, a bottle of wine and two glasses in his hands. He closed the door behind him, his expression unreadable."I brought wine," he said, holding u

    He deepened the kiss, his arms wrapping around her waist. For a moment, Selena was complacent, lost in the familiar pull of his touch. It was like coming home, a dangerous, intoxicating comfort. But then, the reality of her situation crashed back down on her. She remembered the argument, the forced intimacy, the way he had manipulated her. She remembered Nathan, the hurt she had seen in his eyes. And she remembered the lie she had told him.She pulled away from Adrian, her hands pushing against his chest. “Stop,” she said, her voice trembling.He looked at her, his eyes searching hers. “What’s wrong?”“Stay away from me, Adrian,” she said, her voice stronger this time.He frowned, his expression hardening. “What are you talking about?”“You know what I’m talking about,” she said. “Last night… it wasn’t right.”“It’s what you wanted,” he said, his voice low.“No, it wasn’t,” she said. “I was vulnerable. You took advantage of me.”He scoffed. “Don’t be ridiculous.”“Don’t p

    Selena crossed her arms, staring at Adrian with a scowl. “Take me home.” Adrian leaned back against the car, his eyes scanning her face. “No.” She clenched her fists to prevent them from trembling. “Adrian, I’m not in the mood for this. I want to go home. Now.” His jaw tightened, but after a long pause, he sighed. “Fine.” Without another word, he opened the car door for her. She slid in, arms still folded, heart still racing from the earlier encounter. Adrian got in, started the engine, and drove in silence. Selena glanced at him. His grip on the steering wheel was tight, his knuckles white. He was pissed. No, beyond pissed. But she didn’t care. She was just wanted to get out of there. She wondered how many of these fights she would have to endure.When they finally reached the house, Selena pushed open the car door before Adrian could say anything.She pushed open the heavy front door, her shoulders tight.

    Selena lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. Her whole body ached from yesterday’s training, but that was not what kept her awake.She kept thinking about Adrian.Why did he suddenly agree to train her?She had trained with Nathan before. It was hard, painful, but she had asked for it. Nathan had pushed her beyond her limits. But Adrian? He was not the type to do things without a reason.If he had decided to train her personally, then he must have seen something in her.But what?She didn’t know the answer, but one thing was clear, she could not fail.Her muscles hurt as she sat up, but she forced herself out of bed. The sun was not even up yet, but she didn’t care. Adrian would be waiting, and she would not show weakness.As Selena pulled on her training clothes, Valerie, who was sleeping , turned over in bed, rubbing her eyes sleepily.“You are seriously doing this?” Valerie mumbled.Selena tied her hair back. “I have to.”Valerie sighed and sat up. “I just hope he won’t be too hard o

    Selena’s body felt like it was on fire as she walked back to her room. Every muscle screamed in protest with each step she took, a constant reminder of the grueling training session with Nathan. Her skin was covered in bruises, her arms and legs throbbing with the aftereffects of the brutal workout. It wasn’t just the physical pain that weighed heavily on her, no, it was the emotional exhaustion that came with pushing herself beyond what she thought she could bear.But as the pain continued to pulse through her, there was something else beneath it all. A feeling of satisfaction, of pride in what she had accomplished. It was as if each bruise, each ache in her body, was a step toward something greater. She had faced her limitations head-on, and she hadn’t backed down. She had survived.As Selena made her way down the hallway to her room, she could feel the weight of the day pressing down on her. It felt like the world was spinning faster, and she was trying to keep up with it all. Ever

    Selena lay in bed, but sleep evaded her. The attack, Isabelle’s disappearance, Adrian’s frustratingly overprotective attitude – it all swirled in her mind, a chaotic mess of worry and anger. She stared at the ceiling, the ornate patterns blurring in the dim light. She felt restless, trapped.A soft knock on the door broke through her thoughts."Come in," she said, her voice a little rough.Valerie peeked her head in, a concerned look on her face. She was wearing her usual oversized t-shirt and sweatpants, her hair a mess."Can’t sleep?" Valerie asked, padding over to the edge of the bed and sitting down.Selena shook her head. "Too much going on."Valerie nodded, understanding. "Yeah, tell me about it. Isabelle disappearing like that… it’s creepy.""Creepy and weird," Selena agreed. "It’s not like her to just leave without a scene. Did you find out anything else?"Valerie sighed. "Nothing.
