In the midst of the darkness of my soul, I have found Chiara Bianchi, a withered flower. I am Wolfgang Krüger, a cruel and heartless man. Seeking revenge, I kidnap Chiara, determined to make her suffer as her uncle has made my family suffer. But Chiara is much more than a defenseless victim. I discover that her beauty hides a deep pain, and her silence tells me stories I could never imagine. Chiara is mute, trapped in a world where words cannot escape her lips. The torture I had planned for her turns into a dangerous game, an internal struggle that I cannot control. Every day, I find myself watering her withered garden, wishing to bring life back to her face and challenging my own cruel instincts.

Chapter 2: Speechless

CHIARA P.O.V. I realize I can breathe freely when I see out of the corner of my eye Mr. Ferrara turn to leave, after giving me a long inspection, just like the first time I saw him at my uncle's house. I admit it, I was fascinated when I saw Wolfgang. But even though Wolfgang Ferrara is incredibly beautiful, I know that his beauty is only a mask, because what's inside Wolfgang Ferrara is just as terrifying as the gangsters my uncle lives with. And Wolfgang must be very bad, because my uncle trusts him. Before coming to Sicily, my father's hometown, we lived in Verona, my mother's hometown. My dad worked in a restaurant and I was studying veterinary medicine at the university. But two months after my graduation dad got sick, when my father's illness was determined to be cancer, he decided to do nothing but invite me to Sicily with the excuse that he wanted to visit his older brother and see his hometown before leaving. start chemotherapy. So they killed my father, someone tampered w

Chapter 3: A new hell

CHIARA P.O.V.My heavy, hesitant steps lead me to my uncle's black Toyota, where Mrs. Laura is patiently waiting for me. The rain hits my umbrella, and the atmosphere is charged with an oppressive tension, I still don't want to say goodbye to my father. My heart is pounding in my chest.Just as I'm about to get into the truck, a hail of bullets replaces the rain from the sky, causing chaos and panic among the wake guests. Piercing screams of women fill the space and the crowd disperses in all directions, desperately seeking refuge. I am surprised when instead of defending themselves, most of Aldo's men and other mobsters try to protect me, but they are overwhelmed by enemy fire coming from all sides. Soon they have to get deep into the battle for their lives and neglect my safety.Then a man appears and holds me firmly by the forearm. His figure is imposing and his gaze surrounds me with an aura of danger. He is tall, with blond hair and piercing electric blue eyes. He's handsome like

Chapter 4: Meersburg

WOLFGAGN P.O.V.After being with Chiara, something changes in me. I don't know exactly what, but something changes in my mind. We didn't do any prior research on her because there's not much to know about a mafia princess, they're all the same, but I can't help but be curious about Chiara now that I'm close to her. And her muteness is now one of my greatest curiosities. However, I don't let her know how much I'm attracted to her, because mob princesses grew up believing they can handle men like me. Perhaps Chiara knows how to manipulate men. Maybe she makes everyone believe that she is harmless in order to later show her true intentions.I move away from Chiara, and sit in front of Hans's seat. Hans is something of a friend, although — friend — is not an adjective we ever use with each other."I want you to find out everything there is about Chiara."Hans scratches his chin."Why do you want to meet her now?""I'm not interested in meeting her" I growl, and lie outright. "She can't ta

Chapter 5: Chiara's decision

CHIARA P.O.V.It's been five days since I came to this place, I think. I have no knowledge of the country I am in or its exact location. All I know is that I will never be allowed out, just as Wolfgang warned me.I've gotten used to confinement. In fact, there is hardly any difference between this room and the one I had in Sicily. The room I used in my uncle's house was bigger, but that didn't make me any less miserable. I have been wearing the same clothes for 2 days, and they have not allowed me to bathe. I wonder if I should feel panic and despair in this situation, but it's like those feelings have been sucked out of me along with the hope of living.I get out of bed and look out the tiny window in the room. Then I remember that for me there is a difference between this room and the room I lived in in my uncle Aldo's mansion. Outside this small room, there is something beautiful that makes me want to go out. The vineyard that stretches before my eyes is impressive. For the first t

Chapter 6: Cold water bucket

WOLFGANG P.O.V.After the doctor arrives and everyone's crisis subsides, I realize that I haven't really been breathing much since the doctor and his medical team decided to use my room as an operating room to treat Chiara's wounds. . I try to maintain my composure, to maintain the indifference that has always helped me maintain my crown as king of the German mafia, but when I think that Chiara is even more innocent than she was when I kidnapped her, and that now she could die, the mask of indifference that I always have with me, begins to tremble.I am standing in the corridor with Magda and Hans. Magda stands by the door with her arms folded. Worry shows on Magda's face, but I can also see her disappointment in her eyes. She closes her eyes and breathes for a moment, then she looks at me, and I know what she's going to say will make me more miserable."How were you able to kidnap an innocent girl and put her in such a horrible room?" she tells me, her voice heavy with disapproval. S

Chapter 7: Dangerous golden eyes

CHIARA P.O.V.I blink with pain in my head and my throat feels dry. Confused, I wonder if I'm dead. However, the faint peculiar smell that enters my nostrils warns me that this is not the case. That intoxicating and dangerous scent belongs to Wolfgang, and if he were in hell, he would be there. I wake up in a completely different room than the one I've been confined to for the last five days that I can remember. The little I can see of this dark room is that there is not much in it, there is little, but it clearly belongs to a man. I look at the needle that connects the IV to my vein, I also look at the heart monitor next to me.For the first time in a long time, I am afraid to assume that I am in a worse place than the dirty little room they locked me in, or worse, a place even worse than my uncle's house. At that moment, Wolfgang walks into the room, as if he had read my thoughts from wherever he was.The threatening silhouette of his large body covers me from the corridor light for

Chapter 8: Photos

I'm in my office, sitting in my chair with the phone to my ear — it's almost 11pm — but I accepted a call from a man looking for an investor for his company. I need to distract myself so I don't think about Chiara, about her small body enjoying the silky sheets of my bed, without me. So I listen carefully to the arguments and numbers that the man gives me, and I assess whether this investment is worth it or not. My wine company is completely legal, it was founded by my parents, so it is a family symbol that I have never tarnished. In addition, it is the employment and livelihood of many families. After a few more minutes of meaningless conversation — because at that point I decide not to invest in that man's olive company — I hang up the phone and sigh, letting thoughts of Chiara flow freely in my mind. I think of the threatening words I said to Chiara from the moment I kidnapped her, she never avoided looking me in the eye, she faced her fate calmly, she was giving up. Before I know

Chapter 9: Questions

CHIARA P.O.V.Several days have passed since I woke up in this room, and the routine has become predictable. Especially when it comes to Wolfgang. While acting like I'm asleep, I watch my kidnapper's movements every day and have recorded them in my memory, after all, I had nothing better to do. He comes into the room to change clothes or take a shower at night, but then he disappears and I don't see him again until the next night.I wonder if Wolfgang resents not sleeping in his room, or why he hasn't tried to torment me with his threats to torture me. And most of all, I wonder how long I'll spend in this room before he sends me back to the other room, where he told me my hell would begin.Meanwhile, I've been feeling confused. Although I still don't feel safe around Wolfgang or in his house, I have noticed that I don't feel as depressed as when I arrived. Maybe I feel that way because Magda has been taking care of me. A nurse helps me bathe and change my clothes, and a psychologist h

Chapter 10: Answers

When I see his evil eyes, I wake up. I cannot afford to suffer from Stockholm at this point in my life.Magda leads me to one of the chairs next to Wolfgang. He leaves his Tablet face down on the table, but doesn't take off his glasses. So he looks older than he probably is, but Wolfgang doesn't look any less attractive for that."We'll be serving food soon," Magda announces before returning to the kitchen.I frown, only now realizing that this was perhaps planned by her. The woman has a malignant cell then."How are you today?" I jump when I hear the question come from Wolfgang's lips.I am more surprised because there is no threat in his voice. I look at him for a moment, but I don't know how I could answer him even if I wanted to. Wolfgang surprises me once more and raises his hands to move them nimbly until he creates words.“You can talk to me in sign language.”I look into his eyes, and hesitate to answer his question, but finally decide to answer him."I'm fine."He nods, and s
