“Yeah, let’s go,” Leonardo said, his voice steady and sure.

He wiped his mouth with a cloth napkin and stood up from the breakfast table. Sofia followed him, glancing around as they stepped out of the room.

To her surprise, Mark was already by the door, waiting.

He smiled politely when their eyes met. “Good morning, Mrs. Morelli.”

Sofia felt a small jolt at being called by her new title. It still felt new.

“Good morning, Mr. Mark,” she replied warmly.

Mark quickly corrected her. “Ma’am, please call me Mark.”

She nodded with a smile, appreciating his kindness.

Then Mark turned to Leonardo. “Good morning, boss.”

“Morning, Mark. We’re heading to the mall. Tell the driver to get the car,” Leonardo said, firm and clear.

Sofia watched how naturally he gave commands—and how quickly they were followed. It reminded her again of the quiet power he carried.

“Yes, boss,” Mark said and went to pass on the instructions.

Leonardo reached for Sofia’s hand. She blinked, surprised by the gentle touch.

    His eyes narrowed, searching hers.“Are you kidding me, doll?!” His voice was deceptively calm, almost soft, but every word carried a storm. “You don’t know? Then why the hell did you send that text? You made me want to burn the whole world just for letting you go… cross seven oceans… face a thousand hells… just to bring you back to me.”“I still have a week until my next period, so I can’t be sure if I’m really pregnant. But I texted you,” she admitted, voice barely above a whisper, hesitating. “…because I wanted to see whether you’d come for me or not. ”He kissed her forehead, smiling softly. His doll was smarter than he thought of her—she knew exactly how to use his weakness.She was his weakness.“But if I hadn’t texted you… would you have really given up on me?” she asked, her lips pouting, a soft note of complaint in her voice.Cristiano sighed, resting his forehead against hers. “I don’t know, doll… but I’m glad you played that little trick, and I came for you.”“So… it means…

    Cristiano bit his bottom lip as he watched his wife, ready to tell her everything—because now there was nothing left to hide. Nothing he wanted to keep secret between them.“You weren’t safe there,” he murmured, pain etched deep into his features. His hand came up, rubbing over his eyes as if the weight of it all was finally crushing him.“Then what were you for?” she shot back, her voice shaking with fury as she struck his chest with her fist. “If you couldn’t even keep me safe!”“I was helpless,” he admitted, his shoulders lifting in a defeated shrug. “My family… and then you. I couldn’t choose.”Couldn’t choose? When he had already chosen them over her.Her breath hitched. Rage and heartbreak twisted together as she shoved him again—harder this time—but he didn’t move an inch.“Then why did you come now?” she demanded, tears burning her eyes. “Why are you here? Tell me. Go back to your family, then.”He stepped closer, his voice low, rough with truth and desperation.“Because no m

    “So you’re really going to marry that bastard,” Cristiano said hoarsely, fury lacing every word, “while you’re pregnant with my child?”Siena frowned, pain flashing across her face as she pushed herself off the bed. His eyes followed her every step, unblinking, as if she might vanish if he looked away for even a second. She stopped right in front of him.And then her hand rose, colliding with his cheek. The sound of the slap cracked through the room.“You’re always so selfish,” she whisper-yelled, her body shaking with anger and hurt. “You only ever think about yourself.”She glared at him, lips trembling, the light in her eyes dimming as she added in a low, broken tone, “And how do you even know it’s your child?”Cristiano closed his eyes, his jaw tightening as if fighting for control—but in the next heartbeat, he moved. Suddenly, he was too close. One hand locked around her waist while the other gripped the back of her neck, dragging her closer as he surged forward and crushed his l

    The words landed like a gunshot.Silence swallowed the room.Cristiano’s smirk faded—slowly, dangerously—his eyes darkening with irritation as he looked at her, something feral and possessive igniting beneath the surface.Nikolai’s eyes snapped to his daughter. “What did you say?” he growled.Cristiano’s jaw clenched, his grip tightening around the guns, muscles coiling as if ready to strike.“I’m just saying…” Siena said, her voice unsteady but resolute. “For once, let’s do this the decent way—without guns and knives. You know it as well as I do, Papa. Cristiano Vitelli alone is enough to wipe out the entire Bratva. If you raise a gun at him, he will fire back.”Her voice broke slightly.“I don’t want to watch the people I love bleed. Please.”Nikolai narrowed his eyes at the Italian don. Cristiano remained unmoved—calm, unreadable, deadly. Nikolai knew exactly what the man before him was capable of. That knowledge gnawed at him, feeding the fear he despised. It was why he had wante

    He stood there like death given form—devastatingly beautiful, his face carved with fury. Every line of his body was forged from steel, perfectly sculpted, radiating quiet, lethal danger. The muscles in his powerful arms bulged as his grip tightened around the guns in both hands, veins standing out beneath his skin.Siena couldn’t look away.He was Hades walking among plain, ordinary men—untouchable, merciless, inevitable.Then Viktor lifted his gun toward Cristiano Vitelli.Before his finger could even graze the trigger, a shot exploded from the weapon in Cristiano’s right hand. The bullet tore through Viktor’s palm, bone shattering as the gun flew from his grasp. A second shot followed instantly—from the gun in Cristiano’s left hand—ripping into his leg.Viktor screamed.His body crumpled to the floor in a broken heap, pain strangling the sound from his throat as blood spread beneath him.Cristiano stood alone, and no one was his match.With a gun in each hand, he moved like hell unl

    But Siena had no interest in whatever deals had been discussed between her father and Fabio. None of it mattered to her.She looked at him calmly and asked the only question that came to mind.“What happened to Cristiano’s second marriage?” Her voice was steady, unreadable. “I didn’t hear anything about it after that day.”Fabio hesitated before answering. “I don’t know the details,” he admitted. “But there were rumors… his marriage didn’t happen that day for some reason. I’m not sure whether it was canceled or merely postponed.”Siena nodded slowly, lost in thought. “Hmm.”“Siena,” Fabio continued, frustration creeping into his voice, “your father doesn’t seem willing to accept me as his son-in-law, so… maybe we should—”He stopped when Siena lifted her hand in a calm, dismissive gesture. “I’m sleepy, Fabio. Let’s talk tomorrow.”She yawned, covering her mouth with her palm, and walked toward her bedroom, leaving him standing there with unfinished words and unanswered expectatio
