There is only one person who calls her that… “I’ve been searching for you everywhere.” Her best friend, Emily exclaimed, slightly out of breath, when she finally reached Luciana's side. “Emily, nice to see you too.

CHAPTER THREE “Emily?” Luciana’s eyes widened with joy as Emily approached her. "Oh Emily, I'm so glad you're here," she exclaimed, relief washing over her. "How did you find me? The taxi...that night..." Emily's expression was somber, her eyes filled with a mix of worry and guilt. " oh Ana! I got here as soon as I heard," she said softly. Luciana's gaze pleaded with Emily. "Come untie me. Let's get out of here, please." “oh yes, of course.” Emily walked to her and lowered herself as if trying to loosen the ropes tying her feet. Then she paused, look up at Luciana and burst into a roar of laughter. “Emily, what ..what happened? Why are you laughing?” Luciana’s eyes searched for answers, as she looked at her friend. “Shut up Luciana!” Emily rose up. She walked over to Antonio, who had been silently observing the scene.

His mother, Maria, stood before him, her sparkling blue eyes filled with warmth and love."il mio sole," she whispered, her voice like music to his ears. "You are destined for greatness. Never forget who you are and where you come from."Antonio's eyes locked onto hers, drinking in the adoration and pride that shone in her gaze.

RECKONING

CHAPTER FIVEAntonio stared at Luciana. "How did you manage to get a phone?" he demanded.Luciana swallowed hard, trying to think of a convincing explanation. "I...I found it," she stammered.Antonio raised an eyebrow. "Found it?" he repeated, his tone incredulous as he folded his arm. "Where?"Luciana hesitated, unsure of what to say. Antonio's eyes seemed to bore into her soul, as if he could see right through her lies."Tell me," Antonio growled, as he clenched his fist tightly.Just as he was about to extract the truth from Luciana, the hostess voice echoed from the intercom."Attention. We are experiencing some turbulence. Please return to your seat and fasten your seatbelt. Thank you."“I’ll let this pass for the sake of my Sanity.” He gnashed his teeth and walked back to his seat.Luciana stood leg frozen on a spot, her pulse pounding in her throat. All these still felt like a dream to her. One minute she was in a gala in Columbia, another minute, she was going to Italy agai

THE RUSSO SECRET

CHAPTER 6Luciana collapsed onto the bed, exhausted, as soon as Viktor led her in. She kicked off her shoes and looked up at Viktor, her eyes welling up with tears."Why are you doing this?" she asked, her voice trembling. "What kind of people are you?"Viktor's gave a light shrug before answering. "It's not up to me to answer that." He turned to leave, opening the door. "If you need anything, use the intercom over there." With that, he stepped out and closed the door behind him.Luciana stared blankly at the intercom before bursting into tears, her head buried in her palms. She thought of her Chihuahua, probably starving at home, and a wave of regret washed over her. If only she hadn't attended the gala, she thought. Her intention had been pure – to find a sponsor for her mother's hospital bills. But she had let her guard down, getting drunk and vulnerable. Sophia had known she couldn't handle her alcohol, which was why she had plied her with drinks.She got up and walked to the

THE PUPPETEER'S GAME

CHAPTER 7Luciana's eyes fluttered open, groggily taking in the mixture of familiar and unfamiliar faces, Antonio, Viktor, and Sophia. She looked around the room like she was just sent to space in a time capsule. A beautiful middle age woman in a nurse outfit, caught her attention. The woman smiled warmly and took her pulse."Welcome back, dear," Nurse Rossi said, checking Luciana's pulse. "You've been through quite an ordeal."Luciana's gaze drifted to her bandaged arm, where a drip was attached. A wave of dizziness washed over her as she tried to sit up."Easy," Antonio said, lighting a cigarette. "You passed out in the bathroom. I called Nurse Rossi to revive you."Nurse Rossi frowned. "Antonio, you shouldn't be smoking here, especially after her revival."Sophia shrugged. "No one cares if she lives or dies. This is our house; we do what we want."Luciana stared at Sophia, wondering if this was the same girl she'd befriended six years ago. How could someone change so drastically?

A CHANGE OF OUTFIT

CHAPTER 8 it was now the third day of being held captive in Italy, and Luciana felt like she'd suffocate from boredom. She'd exhausted her phone's games and scoured the internet, desperately searching for any hint of her father's whereabouts. But every attempt ended in disappointment. Frustration boiled over as she dialed the phone number she'd memorized as her dad's. The automated response cut through her like a knife: "The number you dialed does not exist." Luciana hurled her phone onto the bed, despair washing over her. Was this her new reality? Trapped, alone, and helpless? was she the modern Cinderella? The door swung open, and Antonio walked in, dropping a suit of clothes on the bed. "Get changed. We're going out." “I am not going anywhere with you.” Luciana folded her arm. “I am not your property or some ping pong ball you can toss around anytime you like.” Antonio laughed. “you have five minutes. Ms. Grace would assist you.” He said and walked out, leaving Lucia

A FINAL ESCAPE?

CHAPTER 9Luciana stepped into the expansive fitting room, her eyes widening in awe. She twirled around, taking in the luxurious space. The contrast to her humble room in Columbia was stark – her small wall mirror barely revealed her waist, and the boutiques she frequented were modest in comparison.Her eyes widened in shock as she scanned the price tags on the dresses and shoes. The saleslady handed her a stunning gown. "Try this, ma'am. It's a limited edition."Luciana checked the price tag, and shook her head. "There's no way on earth, I'm wearing a dress this expensive." She said as she returned the gown to the lady. "Miss, if you don't choose something, he'll take you to even more expensive stores." Ms. Grace reminded her of his authoritative attitude Luciana sighed, resigned, and collected the dress. As she slipped into the gown, the saleslady couldn’t hide her excitement. "You look stunning, ma'am. We should show this to your husband.""He's not my husband! I'd rather be

A NEW ALLY

CHAPTER 10Antonio stormed out of the car as they arrived the villa, slamming the door behind him. He dusted off the cocaine powder from his suit and entered the living room, where his father, Donatello, sat sipping a drink."Where is the girl?" Donatello asked, rising from his seat as he noticed Luciana's absence."She's gone," Ms. Grace replied, heading upstairs to her room."Does anyone let me finish speaking in this house?" Antonio asked rhetorically.Donatello lit a Cuban cigar as he approached Antonio and Viktor. He inhaled deeply exhaling a plume of smoke into the air. "What happened?" "She escaped from the boutique mall." Viktor blurted out, as Antonio hesitated.Donatello shook the ashes from his Cuban and clench it between his teeth. "You took her shopping?"Antonio smoothed his suit jacket, his nostrils flaring as he caught a whiff of something familiar. He sniffed again, his eyes rolled to the back of his head at the acrid scent of cocaine still clung to the fabric."W
