All Chapters of No Escape From Them : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Aurea’s POV Everything is going to be fine, I repeated to myself like a prayer. It has to be. I have a job opportunity now. A real one.I didn't let myself hesitate for even a single second. I knew that if I stopped to think about the dark rumors surrounding the billionaire Rossi twins and the untouchable, lethal power they held over the city's underworld, I would completely lose my nerve. I would crawl back into my shell, lose my apartment, and end up on the streets. I had to rationalize it. Besides, why would men like that ever take any interest in a completely ordinary girl like me? I was just applying to be a maid.Even though I had seen their striking, cold faces plastered on TV screens and on the covers of high-end business magazines—looking completely terrifying, merciless, and entirely different from the bubbly, sweet Nina—all I had to do was focus on my work. I just needed to keep my head down, blend into the background, and earn enough money. I couldn't afford to be a c

Aurea’s POV Two weeks. That was exactly how long I had managed to survive within the daunting, suffocating walls of the Rossi Estate, and against all historical odds, I had actually managed to establish a functional routine.From day one, the very moment the heavy iron gates of this property slammed shut behind me, I had set strict internal rules for myself. They were survival tactics, really: keep my head completely down, blend into the background like a shadow, and do whatever it took to avoid crossing paths with the brothers. So far, everything was going exactly according to my plan. I hadn't seen a single, solitary glimpse of either of them all week. The absolute absence of their crushing presence made it much easier for me to actually breathe.I spent my grueling days working alongside the rest of the household staff, dusting endless rows of ancient books, polishing gold-rimmed mirrors, and ensuring the estate looked immaculate. Along the way, I had even managed to make a few

Aurea’s POV "Ti sei persa, principessa?" (Are you lost, princess?) he growled.Terrified, my survival instincts kicked in, and tried to take a step back to escape the heavy shadow of his frame. But the moment I moved, I instantly backed straight into another hard chest.I gasped loudly, spinning around only to find myself staring at an identical face. But while the first brother had piercing gray eyes and blond hair, this twin possessed eyes as black and bottomless as obsidian just like his hair. Dark tattoos spilled out from beneath his rolled-up designer suit sleeves, disappearing down the back of his hands.Before a scream could even form in my throat, a heavy, tattooed hand wrapped securely around my waist. With an inescapable grip, he effortlessly pulled my trembling body backward, slamming me flush against his hard, commanding frame."Ho fatto una domanda, principessa..." (I asked a question, princess) Velarius murmured against my ear, his deep voice dripping with a terrifyin

(The Rossi Brothers)"Four... Three... Two... One."Click.I squeezed the trigger. A jagged scream tore from the man tied to the chair, blood dripping heavily down his shredded face.A dark, dangerous laugh boomed through the room. "Fratello, pensava davvero che gli avremmo concesso una morte così facile?" (Brother, did he really think we would give him such an easy death?)"P-please... S-sir..." the man sobbed, trembling. "I will never do it again. Please, just give me a chance sir."I smirked. “Brother, have we ever given anyone a chance before?”Vincenzo didn't answer. He rarely spoke, preferring actions over words. Walking over to the metal table, he selected a small knife from their collection of tools. Without skipping a beat, he drove the blade into the crying man’s mouth, slicing the right side of his cheek open.The man shrieked, the sound echoing off the concrete walls. Vincenzo wasn't done yet. He moved with the slow, calculated precision of a predator. Within the blink of

Valerius POV "The board meeting will begin in a few minutes, sirs," our personal assistant murmured, stepping quietly out of Vincenzo's and my executive office.She had been our PA for the last three years, which was a record for us. I constantly cycled through assistants because almost every woman we hired inevitably tried to sleep with us or foolishly thought she could become a Rossi wife. It was pathetic. I only had space in my mind for one person—our innocent princess.Vincenzo and I left the office and strode down the corporate hallway toward the boardroom. The moment I threw the double doors open, I found the executives already seated and waiting anxiously. We thoroughly despised tardiness."Let's begin," Vincenzo commanded, his voice clipping through the room as everyone scrambled to adjust their notes.Ten minutes into the presentation, my eyes locked onto a blatant error on the projector screen. Then I slammed my palm on the table."Who the fuck did this calculation?"The en
