Shadows of Betrayal

(Dual POV: Olivia and Armando)Olivia’s POVThe air smelled like smoke and gunpowder, sharp and suffocating because actually the air was truly filled with gun power as we were being chased.My legs burned as I ran, my pulse pounding in my ears and my heart hitting on my ribcage. Armando was ahead of me, his figure a shadow against the flickering orange glow of the explosion behind us. Ferro’s men were closing in, their shouts echoing in the chaos as Armando’s car was attacked and we had to run with our legs.“Keep moving!” Armando barked, his voice urgent.I pushed harder, I could not seem to get off the event of the night which was spinning in my mind. The gala had been a disaster. Ferro’s words, his cold, calculating smirk as he exposed me in front of everyone Armando.“You disappoint me, Olivia.”The sound of his voice was still fresh, still cutting, even as Armando pulled me out of the ballroom, the gunfire eru

A Wolf Among Sheep

(Olivia’s POV)The estate was a world away from the chaos of the city—a sprawling countryside property shrouded in mist and silence. The kind of place where secrets could bury themselves deep in the soil and Isabella took me there to bury my secrets or rather hide me as a secret from Ferro. She helped me.Isabella had appeared unexpectedly at the rundown motel where I was hiding, her usual calm demeanor replaced with urgency. “You’re not safe here,” she’d said, her tone leaving no room for argument as usual. I didn’t know why I followed her but then I trusted her even though I didn’t want to.Now, as I stood in the grand foyer of her estate, surrounded by polished marble and heavy drapes, I wasn’t sure I was any safer.“You didn’t have to bring me here,” I said, my voice cautious.Isabella offered a faint smile, her gray eyes unreadable. “You’ll thank me when you realize just how far Ferro’s reach extends.”She turned and wa

The Ghost of Isabella

(Isabella’s POV)“You shouldn’t wander around this house at night,” I said softly, leaning against the doorframe. “There are some truths that don’t want to be uncovered.”She looked up at me sharply, her gaze searching mine. “Isabella, what the hell is going on here? Those pictures—how long have they been there? Who put them there?” She pointed towards the photographs on the board and fear was all over her.I didn’t answer immediately. Instead, I stepped into the room, closing the door behind me. “The past is a heavy burden, Olivia. Yours, mine, even Ferro’s. It all connects in ways you’re only beginning to understand.” I was tensed that she was finding out some truth but I couldn’t allow her see through my visage. It wasn’t time yet.Her jaw tightened, anger flickering in her eyes. “I’m tired of riddles. Tell me the truth, or I’m leaving.”I sighed, lowering myself into the chair near the window. “The truth is dangerous. But you’re

The Hidden Ally

(Armando’s POV)The night air was dense with tension, the faint scent of smoke and damp earth clinging to my senses as my men and I approached Isabella’s estate after my men gave me the intel that Olivia was here. The quiet was deceptive, the kind that screamed danger, as if the shadows themselves were waiting to strike. I couldn’t get the thought of Olivia off my mind.“Stay sharp,” I ordered, my voice low but commanding. My grip tightened around my pistol, my eyes scanning every corner for movement.Then I saw her.Olivia burst through the front door, her figure illuminated by the pale moonlight. Her breaths were ragged, her dress torn at the hem, and her eyes wild with fear. Behind her, the masked attackers emerged, their steps deliberate, their weapon raised.Rage ignited in my chest like a flame and seeing Olivia in the state of fear made my blood go boil. I wanted to shred those motherfuckers to pieces.“Move!” I barke

The Red Thread

(Olivia’s POV)The night after the attack at Isabella’s estate was sleepless. The safe house where Armando had taken me was quiet, but my mind was anything but.Dominic had been working tirelessly, sifting through files he’d decrypted from Ferro’s network. He sat hunched over his desk, the glow of multiple monitors illuminating his sharp features.“What is this?” I asked, leaning over his shoulder as he scrolled through an encrypted document.He glanced up, his expression grim. “Your father’s ledgers. Ferro had someone digging into them years ago. These numbers—they’re not just business transactions. There’s something else here.”I frowned, my stomach knotting. My father’s ledgers had been kept in meticulous order, symbols of the integrity he held onto even as the business crumbled around him.“Where are they now?” I asked.Dominic gestured to a file cabinet in the corner. “Armando had them brought in when he acquir

The Price of Truth

(Dual POV: Olivia and Armando)Olivia’s POVThe safe house felt stifling when I returned after escaping Ferros men, its walls closing in as I spread the documents across the table. My hands trembled as I flipped through them, my mind still reeling from the ambush and the discovery of my mother’s photos. I was in the room alone as I didn’t allow anyone to go through it with me because I didn’t trust anyone yet.The papers were dense, filled with financial jargon and coded references, but I forced myself to focus. Every line, every number, every hidden thread demanded my attention. I had to find the truth.And then I saw it—a series of transactions spanning years, linking Ferro to shell companies and shadow accounts. At first glance, they seemed insignificant, but the deeper I looked, the clearer it became.Ferro hadn’t just benefited from my father’s downfall; he had orchestrated it.The transactions painted a damning picture

A Dangerous Reunion

(Olivia’s POV)Two Days of SilenceThe safe house had become a cage I’d say.The walls, which were meant to be a symbol of protection, now felt suffocating. Every corner held the memory of Armando—his hot and steamy eyes burning into me as he confessed his love, the pain in his voice as I pushed him away while I wanted his touch.I avoided him as much as I could. He avoided me too and I hated myself for pushing him away and I always hated myself for hating myself or pushing him away. When we crossed paths, the tension was unbearable, the silence heavy with unspoken words and lingering emotions and I always just wished he could grab me, pin me to the wall and give me the kiss of my life.It was late in the afternoon when I heard his voice through the thin walls as I was strolling in the house aimlessly.“I’m telling you, Matteo, Ferro will be there,” Armando said, his tone clipped and intense.“At an auction?” Matteo

The Breaking Point

(Ferro’s POV)Olivia stood before me, trembling like a drenched little hen that was looking for her mother in the midst of a storm, her defiance crumbling under the weight of her fear. Her green eyes darted between James and me, searching for a way out, but there wasn’t one. Not tonight.I leaned back in my chair, the leather creaking under the weight of my amusement. Beside me, James swirled his glass of whiskey lazily, his smirk widening as he watched her.“You look surprised to see James, Olivia,” I said smoothly, my voice slicing through the silence. “What’s the matter? Did you really think I would discard James like a piece of trash?”Her lips parted, but no words came out.“Oh, you did,” I continued, letting a cold laugh escape. “How deliciously naive of you. But that’s what I wanted, wasn’t it? For you to believe I’d turned on him. For you to trust me.”Her fists clenched, and I could see the flicker of anger beneath her fear. Beautiful.James chuckled beside me, raising his gl

Island of Secrets

(Olivia’s POV)The sharp scent of saltwater and damp stone dragged me from unconsciousness. My body ached, my wrists burning from the tight ropes binding me to a cold metal chair. My head lolled to the side, and I blinked against the blinding light streaming through the open window and grunted heavily.It took me a moment to process where I was. The room was stark, the white walls and sleek furniture a chilling contrast to the suffocating dread curling in my stomach.The last thing I remembered was being dragged out of the auction, my screams echoing uselessly as Ferro’s men threw me into a van and that one time I had wished Armando would appear out of nowhere to rescue me like he always did but then I got nothing and of course he failed me when I needed him.Now, here I was—half-naked, stripped down to my bra and panties, my skin exposed to the biting air. My hair clung to my damp forehead, and my heart raced as footsteps echoed down the hal

The Return of Shadows

(Dual POV: Olivia and Armando)Olivia’s POV:The cold tiles of the lab room pressed against my knees as I crouched by the landline, my fingers trembling as I dialed Armando's emergency contact number.Each ring felt like a countdown, my heartbeat pounding louder than the faint hum of the fluorescent light overhead. I already heard footsteps approaching.Finally, a voice answered. “Moretti speaking.”A bright smile filled my face as I was filled with assurance. Never did I think that I would be that excited just to hear Armando’s voice.“It’s Olivia,” I whispered, my voice shaking. “I’m on Ferro’s island—”The door burst open, slamming against the wall with a deafening crack before I could finish my statement. I quickly hid a document from the file I had seen in the lab.I froze, the receiver slipping from my hand as the guard I had overpowered stormed in, his face twisted with fury and with one other guard
