Chapter 10: The Daughter

Nico stood alone on the safe house rooftop with the night air cool against his skin. Clouds hid the stars leaving only a faint glow from the distant city lights. The rain had eased to a light mist that clung to his hair and shirt. He stared at the photo on his phone again. Isabella smiled back at him from that café table in Milan. She looked so much like her mother. The same bright eyes. The same gentle curve of her smile. He had never held her. Never heard her voice.

    Chapter 31SerenaThe news of another secret sister hit us like a lingering echo from Victors grave. The message was short and mysterious. I am Aria. Victors hidden daughter. I want to meet my blood. No tricks. The address attached led to a quiet cafe in the city center. I read it aloud to everyone gathered around the breakfast table. The brothers exchanged looks. Luca tensed beside me. Elena narrowed her eyes. Rosalind simply sighed like she had expected more ghosts.We go carefully Dante decided. No risks especially now.His hand rested on my stomach again a habit that made warmth spread through me. The possibility of our baby changed everything.

    Chapter 30SerenaVictors final threat left the safe house completely silent for a long moment. Bombs under the city banks. Thousands of lives. And he wanted me to come alone. I stared at the phone in my hand feeling the weight of every choice I had made since signing that contract. Dante took the phone from me gently but his face was thunder. Nico pulled me into his chest one hand protectively over my stomach where new life might be growing. Leo was already moving calling our best tech man to start tracing and disarming.We are not sending you anywhere alone Dante said firmly. We do this as a family.I nodded leaning into Nico but my mind raced. Luca sat nearby still bruised but determined. I just got you back I told him. I wont lose you or anyone else. Rosalind and Elena watched me with matching worry. Isabella crawled into my lap hugging me tight. The thought of a baby made everything sharper. I had to protect the future too.The next hours were a whirlwind of preparation. Our tech

    Chapter 29SerenaThe message about Luca hit me like a punch to the gut. Marcus had snatched my brother during the chaos at the burning estate and now he demanded a trade. Me for him. I stood frozen in the center of the safe house phone still glowing in my hand. My men closed in around me immediately. Dante paced back and forth like a wild animal ready to tear the city apart. Nico kept one arm around Isabella but his gaze never left my face worry etched deep for both his daughter and the brother I had barely met. Leo was already pulling up maps of the docks warehouse Marcus had named studying every possible entry and exit.This is not happening Dante said voice low and dangerous. We do not trade you. We end him.I swallowed hard feeling the pull of blood and the weight of love. Luca was family now. Fresh blood. I could not let Marcus kill him any more than I could let harm come to Isabella or the others. Rosalind sat pale on the couch Elena beside her both women watching me with wide

    Chapter 28SerenaThe call about my unknown brother echoed in my head all day. Victor loved his games twisting family like knives. I paced the safe house while the brothers coordinated with our remaining loyal men. Nico moved slower his side bandaged but his eyes burned with determination. Dante was pure storm ready to break Victor apart. Leo stayed calm planning every exit.Elena sat with Rosalind their voices low as they shared memories. Isabella drew a new picture this one with an extra figure a brother maybe. I touched her hair feeling the weight of all the lives connected to mine. I had started this to save my family business. Now the family was so much bigger and more complicated.We cannot wait I said finally. Tonight we go to the estate. But we do it smart. No more walking in alone.They agreed. Dante pulled me into his lap on the couch. His hands traced my thighs under my dress. You have grown so much he murmured. From the woman who signed the contract to our queen.I leaned

    Chapter 27SerenaThe new safe house smelled of coffee and gun oil. We moved like shadows getting ready for the villa strike. My shoulder still ached but the fire inside me burned hotter than any pain. Elena sat across from me cleaning her weapon her eyes meeting mine every few seconds. Trust was a fragile thing between us but she had given us the villa lead. That counted for something. Rosalind rested nearby watching us both with tired hope. Isabella drew quietly at the table sketching a big house with all of us standing in front of it.We leave at dawn Dante said voice low and commanding. Small team. In and out. Records first then Victor if he is there.Nico nodded but his hand stayed on Isabella like he could protect her from across the room. Leo checked ammo one more time. I felt their worry but also their pride. I had become part of the decisions not just the woman they shielded.The night before the strike stretched long. After the others settled I found myself in the bedroom wi

  • Curvy Fate in Velvet Chains   Chapter 26

    Chapter 26SerenaThe threat hung over us like the heavy Milan rain. Victors words burned in my mind even after I deleted the message. Videos. The world seeing me with my men. Part of me wanted to hide but a bigger part stood taller. Let them see. I was not ashamed of the love that had grown from that contract. I was proud.Rosalind rested better by morning. She and Elena shared the same room now watching each other like wounded animals. Elena limped around with a bandage on her leg but she ate the food I brought her. Stubborn. Just like me. Isabella stayed close to me drawing more pictures this time one of me standing between the brothers like a queen. It made me smile through the fear.We gathered in the living room to plan. Dante leaned against the wall arms crossed blood still staining the edge of his bandage. Nico held Isabella on his lap. Leo spread out maps and phone records. I sat with them my shoulder stiff but my mind clear.He wants to shame us I said. So we shame him first
