Roman’s POV

I stood in the center of my bedroom, a towel tied loosely around my waist, water still dripping from my skin onto the floor.

The door was still jammed tight, trapping us inside the small space.

Across the room, Gianna was stunned like a caged bird, her eyes darting away every time they met mine.

The silence between us was thick, but my mind was louder.

What the hell was wrong with me? I was a man of absolute silence. In my world, words were a liability.

I had spent the last ten y

    Gianna’s POVHe finally stopped walking when we reached the edge of the large compound. With a smooth, easy motion, he set me down on the concrete walkway.The exact second my feet hit the floor, I whirled around to face him, my chest heaving. "Why did you fucking do that?!""Do what?" Roman asked, completely unbothered."Don't fucking play with me, Roman!" I shouted, the anger roaring back to life inside me. "I said, why did you take me out of there?!""You have to stop yelling when you speak to me, Gianna. I’m not your crazy fiancé."His voice didn't rise, but it dropped into a cold tone that instantly cut the breath from my lungs. I went completely mute the very same minute. It felt like his words had literally shut me up. The quiet, polite man who had taken me out to dinner was completely gone, replaced by someone heavy with a dark, unyielding authority.But I forced my chin up, refusing to back down completely. "And who are you that I can’t?"He took a slow step forward, his to

    Gianna’s POVTears blurred my vision, hot and stinging, but I refused to let them fall. The pathetic audacity of his response turned my blood into pure gasoline. I couldn't even face his mask of indifference without wanting to rip it off."Is this a joke to you, you pathetic, small-dick piece of shit?!" I shrieked, the curse words ripping out of me with venom I didn't know I possessed. "You absolute waste of skin! I chased you for years!…degrading myself for a worthless coward who couldn’t even be a man if his life depended on it. You are a disgusting, bottom-feeding parasite, Dario. I hope you choke on your own filth!"Dario’s nonchalant smirk finally faltered, his eyes darkening as the insults hit their mark. But I was already over him. I shifted my gaze, my chest heaving as I locked onto the real viper in the room."But you know what? You aren't even my problem," I spat, stepping closer to the sofa, my fingers curling into tight, trembling fists. “It’s this cheap, backstabbing

Across the room, Gianna was stunned like a caged bird, her eyes darting away every time they met mine.The silence between us was thick, but my mind was louder.What the hell was wrong with me? I was a man of absolute silence. In my world, words were a liability. I had spent the last ten years mastering total detachment, locking my emotions behind a wall of ice. I had never spoken more than five lines of words to anyone. Not to my own brother, Dario. Not to the men begging for mercy at my feet before I pulled the trigger. Barely even to my father.Yet, trapped in this room with Gianna, I had talked more than I had spoken to anyone in my entire life.I had teased her about her hunger. I had pushed her buttons about the wedding, questioning her like a jealous, possessive man. He

    Gianna’s POVI came out from the shower, steam clinging to my skin as I pulled on a simple, sleeveless cream dress with a high turtleneck. After twisting my hair up into a neat, secure bun and checking my reflection, I stepped out of the room.Roman was waiting in the living room and the moment my heels clicked against the floorboards, he stood up."Ready?""Sure," I answered, though a nervous flare vibrated in my chest.His eyes traveled an intentional path from the top of my head down to my shoes, the intensity of his gaze making my skin tingle."You look stunning, Gianna," he said smoothly then turned and strode out the front door without waiting for a reply.I stood there completely stunned. A bitter memory resurfaced, Dario had never offered me a compliment. Not once in all the years I had spent trailing behind him. Yet his brother could make my cheeks burn with a single lookWhen I stepped outside, the sight in the driveway took my breath away, a blood-red sports car, sleek an

    Gianna’s POVI backed up in shock, my mind racing in circles. He could be a stranger, an intruder, or worse. I had never seen this man before in my life, but the physical resemblance was undeniable. Why did he look so much like Dario?I kept moving backward, oblivious to my surroundings, until the back of my head hit hard against the bedroom door."Ouch!" I gasped, wincing from the pain. I quickly reached behind my back, my fingers clawing at the handle and twisting it with strength, desperate to escape this room. But the handle just turned loosely in my grip, spinning without catching the latch. It wouldn't open. Panic flared hot in my throat. How could the door fail to open right now?"That lock is bad," he said, his deep voice slicing cleanly through the quiet room. "I’ve been meaning to change it. Don’t strain yourself, it won’t open from the inside.""What?!" My voice cracked, heat rushing to my face as embarrassment burned through me. I desperately crossed my arms over my ba

    Gianna’s POVI shoved his hands off me. "Are you mad?!"I didn't even know she was engaged. Franca hadn't said a word to me.Dario pulled back, running a hand through his hair and groaning. "Do you want me to be serious about this marriage or not, Gianna?""Of course I do! But she’s my best friend. I can’t do that to her."Dario’s expression softened. He looked at me with a sincerity that felt almost real. "I’ve always liked you, Gianna. You know that, right?"I scrambled up on the bed. "Really?""Yes," he said smoothly. "But you always hide in the shadows. We can make this work, a real marriage, beautiful kids, a happy life."My heart melted. It was the dream I’d had since high school. But betraying Franca to get it? The guilt was already heavy."I want to do right by you," Dario whispered, stroking my cheek. "We won't do anything too serious. We just need to make sure the party doesn’t happen.""I want to pay her back for humiliating me in front of everyone. You remember, Gianna. Yo
