Chapter Sicty One ;The Trap is Set(Damian's POV)The air was thick with lies, the kind that seeped into the walls and poisoned everything it touched. Carlos thought he was clever, thought I hadn't noticed the way his eyes stayed a fraction of a second too long when I gave orders, the way his fingers twitched when he returned to me to give his reports, or the subtle tension in his shoulders when Bianca's name was mentioned. But I was not a fool. I had been watching him for days, and now it was time to put an end to this game.I sat in my office, drumming my fingers on the table as I looked at the papers in front of me. At first glance, they were simply business contracts—routes of trade, security provisions, fiscal accounts—but underneath them lay something far more valuable: a finely woven deceit. A deceit that would lead Carlos to his next move.I sat back, exhaling slowly. It wasn't enough to take him by surprise. I needed him to bring me to Bianca. I needed him to believe that he

Shadows of DeceptionDamian's POVThe night had been weighted with silence, the atmosphere dense with the promise of what was to come. I leaned over my study desk, the flicker of the chandelier casting ghoulish shadows across the walls. My mind was a battleground of ideas, misgivings, and one burning question—was Enzo someone I could trust?I leaned back against my desk, my hands drumming the polished wood. Facing me stood Enzo, his face an unreadable mask. He had been my second-in-command, my most trusted friend, but now he hung precariously in the balance between friend and enemy. I had given him a second chance to prove his loyalty, but the specter of his previous betrayal loomed over us like an abyss to be bridged."This is your chance," I said to him, my voice soft and menacing. "Prove to me you're still with me."Enzo gazed back at me, unwavering. "What do you want me to do?"I moved a file in front of him across the table. Inside were the meeting notes Bianca had arranged with

Chapter Title: The Silent HuntThe room was quiet, only interrupted by the quiet tick of the clock mounted on the wall. Damian sat tight in his chair, fingers tented against his chin, his mind working out every possible angle. Time was passing through his hands like grains of sand, and each lost moment left Enzo's family more at risk.He must move.But he did know Bianca. She wasn't a fool. She wouldn't just stand back and let him charge into her trap and steal Enzo's family without a fight. No—she would be waiting for him to charge in, guns blazing, ready to destroy her world.That's why he wasn't going to.Instead, he would feed her a lie. A carefully crafted deception that would make her believe he was elsewhere, distracted, dealing with another crisis of her making. And while she basked in her false victory, he would strike where she least expected it.“We’re going in tonight.”His voice was steel, cutting through the stillness like a blade. To his left, his most faithful men—thos

Chapter Title: The ReckoningDamian’s POVThe night was heavy with silence, the kind that suffocated rather than soothed. The city stretched before me, a maze of flickering streetlights and dark alleyways. But my focus wasn’t on the view—I was thinking about Matteo, my most loyal man, the one Bianca had stolen from me.And Nico, the traitor who had been hiding in plain sight.I clenched my teeth, my fists closing as I stared at the dim light of my office. The trap was laid. The bait had been dangled. If Nico was playing for Bianca, he would take the decoy information that I had left behind and run to her straight away.I simply had to wait.There was a knock at the door. Luca came in, his features drawn into a mask of barely controlled anger."He took the bait." His tone was low, flavored with a biting sharpness. "Nico just left, and Lena followed him."My heart was pounding, but not out of fear, out of the fierce fire of vengeance. I had trusted Nico. I had let him stand by me, watch

Chapter Title: Shadows Closing InLena's POVThe tension inside the mansion felt thicker than ever, thick with unspoken words. It had been hours since Vincent's betrayal, and while Damian had made sure to eliminate the danger, I was aware that the war was very far from over.Bianca would not relent. If anything, Vincent's defeat would make her all the more wanton.I was at the window of Damian's office, staring out at the blackened city. My heart pounding with terror and anger. I did not wish to be a damsel in distress—I wanted to fight, to walk with Damian and not be a step behind.There was a gentle knock at the door that caused me to flinch."Enter," I told him, bracing myself.The door opened to reveal Adrian, Damian's second-in-command. His bright blue eyes scanned the room before focusing on me."Where is Damian?" I asked immediately.Adrian sighed and entered, closing the door behind him. "Handling business. He didn't want to disturb you, but. Bianca took her next step."My sto
