The Return Of The Young Marshal's
For ten years, the world knew him only as a myth
The Young Marshal.
The government’s most classified weapon.
The commander of 200,000 troops.
A man whose face was forbidden from appearing in public.
But Lorenzo Romano has finally come home.
After a decade of bloodshed on distant battlefields, Lorenzo returns to Marina Azzurra with nothing but a duffel bag and a promise carved into his heart:
Find Carolina Pescatori… the girl who once saved his life.
She moved on.
She became famous.
She doesn’t even know the war hero the world worships was once the street boy she helped all those years ago.
Haunted by war, burdened by secrets, and followed by a shadow of power he can’t escape, Lorenzo wants only one thing—
to repay the kindness that kept him alive when nothing else could.
But in a city of politics, wealth, hidden enemies, and old betrayals, the return of the Young Marshal is not a blessing…
It’s a spark.
One that could ignite a war far deadlier than the one he left behind.
And when Carolina finally meets him a gain, she must decide—
Is he the hero the nation calls a legend…
or the broken weapon he believes himself to be?

Chapter: The Birthday Party BeginsCHAPTER 8: The Birthday Party BeginsThe evening sun cast long shadows across the grand entrance of the International Hotel as Cecilia's electric scooter sputtered to a stop at the valet stand. The vehicle's engine wheezed one final time before dying completely, drawing immediate attention from the cluster of well-dressed young people gathered near the entrance."Oh my God, is that a scooter?" A woman's voice rang out, dripping with amusement.Cecilia climbed off the vehicle, her expression carefully neutral. Lorenzo followed, adjusting the cuffs of his new Armani suit with practiced ease. His presence commanded attention, but the damage was already done—their arrival had been witnessed."Cecilia!" Laura Marchetti glided forward in a champagne-colored cocktail dress that probably cost more than Cecilia's entire year's clothing budget. Her smile was bright and welcoming, but her eyes held a calculating gleam. "You actually came! And on... well, I see you brought your usual transportati

Chapter: Unexpected Reverence
CHAPTER 7: Unexpected ReverenceThe commotion in Bellissimo had drawn a crowd. Shoppers pressed against the store's glass windows, phones out, recording everything. Security guards in crisp uniforms rushed toward the scene, but they parted suddenly as a tall, distinguished man in an impeccable charcoal suit strode through.Osvaldo Bianchi, General Manager of Galleria Paradiso, was a man who commanded respect through sheer presence. At fifty-two, his silver hair and sharp features gave him the look of a Roman senator. He'd built his career on maintaining order in Marina Azzurra's most prestigious shopping destination."What is the meaning of this disturbance?" Osvaldo's voice cut through the chaos like a blade. "Who dares disrupt the peace of my establishment?"A young saleswoman named Alessia pointed with a trembling finger. "Them, Signore Bianchi! That man and woman! They—""It's ME who should be complaining!" Russo struggled to his feet, blood streaming from his mouth, his expensive

Chapter: Confrontation at the Mall
CHAPTER 6: Confrontation at the MallThe Galleria Paradiso was Marina Azzurra's most prestigious shopping destination—five floors of luxury boutiques, crystal chandeliers, and the kind of oppressive elegance that made poor people feel unwelcome just by breathing the perfumed air.Cecilia led Lorenzo through the gleaming marble corridors toward Bellissimo, an upscale men's store she'd only ever window-shopped at before. The prices made her stomach churn, but Lorenzo had insisted, and she'd reluctantly agreed.Inside, a beautiful saleswoman named Valentina immediately gravitated toward Lorenzo, her professional smile widening as she assessed his impressive physique."Signorina, your boyfriend has an excellent build," Valentina purred. "He'll look magnificent in our new collection.""He's my husband," Cecilia corrected automatically, then felt her cheeks heat. Were they actually married? Yesterday had been so chaotic she still wasn't sure what was real."Lucky you," Valentina murmured, e

Chapter: The Young Marshal's Shadow
CHAPTER 5: The Young Marshal's ShadowMorning sunlight filtered through the thin curtains of the servant's quarters, doing little to brighten the cramped space. Aldo sat glued to the small television screen, his eyes fixed on the breaking news coverage that had dominated every channel since yesterday."—unprecedented military reception at Sorrento International Airport—""—the legendary Young Marshal of the Valdoro Military Zone—""—Commander of 200,000 troops, hero of Etruria—"The news footage showed crowds gathered at the airport, soldiers standing at attention, but the Young Marshal's face remained carefully obscured—blurred by strategic camera angles, shadows, and clever editing."Incredible," Aldo breathed. "The Young Marshal is actually here. In Marina Azzurra.""Turn that off!" Ginevra snapped from the tiny kitchenette where she was making coffee with trembling hands. "I'm sick of hearing about this Marshal person!""But Ginevra, this is history! The man is a living legend—""

Chapter: Lorenzo Defends His Wife
CHAPTER 4: Lorenzo Defends His WifeThe cool night air of Marina Azzurra carried the scent of jasmine as Lorenzo guided Cecilia out of the ballroom, his hand gentle but firm on her elbow. Behind them, the Ferretti family stood in various states of shock and rage."My wife," Lorenzo said softly, the words rolling off his tongue with natural warmth, "are you hurt? Did any of them harm you?"Cecilia blinked. "Your... your wife? We're not—""We will be," Lorenzo assured her with quiet confidence. "I've made my declaration. In front of three hundred witnesses. You're under my protection now, Cecilia.""But I don't even know who you are!""You will." Lorenzo's smile was gentle. "In time, you'll remember everything.""REMEMBER?" Quintino Ferretti's voice shattered the moment. He'd recovered from the earlier slap, his face twisted with humiliation and rage. "The only thing she'll remember is watching me beat you into a coma, you worthless insect!"Lorenzo turned slowly, his expression cooling

Chapter: Lorenzo's Dramatic InterventionCHAPTER 3: Lorenzo's Dramatic InterventionThe wedding march swelled through the ballroom as Cecilia walked slowly toward her doom. Connaro Lombardi stood at the altar, smirking like a cat about to devour a canary. Three hundred guests watched in uncomfortable silence, pretending they didn't know they were witnessing a sacrifice.Then the double doors exploded open."STOP THIS WEDDING!"Every head turned. A man strode through the entrance with the confidence of someone who'd walked through battlefields and emerged victorious. Lorenzo Romano, still in his simple civilian clothes, moved with lethal grace toward the altar."Who the hell—" Connaro started."I'm here to claim my bride," Lorenzo announced, his voice carrying to every corner of the vast ballroom.The room erupted in whispers. Cecilia froze mid-step, her eyes meeting Lorenzo's for the first time.Lorenzo's breath caught. It was her. After ten years, countless battles, and an ocean of blood—he'd found Carolina Pescator

Chapter: IntruderChapter 163Mrs. Donatoes rejoined the dining room with the same careful smile she had painted on earlier, though her eyes darted quickly between Selena and Alexander. She slid into the seat opposite them as if nothing was wrong at all.Mrs. Vega cleared her throat and lifted her wine glass.“Let’s begin.”Dinner was served by the maids—steaming bowls, delicate plates, roasted meats, fragrant soups. It should have been a comfortable evening, but the atmosphere was taut with invisible strings.Alexander felt every pair of eyes on him.Especially Mrs. Donatoes’s.She kept glancing at him, her gaze sharp and probing—as if she were dissecting him silently, searching for something to attack.Selena noticed.She placed her hand lightly on Alexander’s knee beneath the table, steadying him.Alexander exhaled softly and gave her a small smile of gratitude.Mrs. Donatoes noticed that too.And it stung.“So…” Mrs. Donatoes said suddenly, her voice sweet like honeyed poison. “Alexander, I must ad

Chapter: peace underrated Chapter 162The moment Alexander and Selena stepped through the door, Mrs. Vega’s entire face lit up. She hurried forward, her hands clasped warmly around Alexander’s.“Welcome, my son,” she said with a softness that surprised even her. “I’m so glad you’re here.”Alexander smiled politely. It still felt strange hearing her call him son, but after their recent reconciliation, it carried a warmth he no longer ran away from.Selena squeezed his hand, proud.But someone else in the foyer wasn’t nearly as pleased.Mrs. Donatoes.She stood slightly behind Mrs. Vega, her painted smile plastered on her face as she watched how warmly Mrs. Vega embraced Alexander. Inside her chest, jealousy twisted like a knife. She had always imagined—quietly and secretly—that one day, their children would marry and unite the Vega and Donatoes families. A perfect elite alliance. A perfect social match.Instead… Selena chose Alexander.A man Mrs. Donatoes once dismissed.She swallowed the bitterness quickly and

Chapter: uninvited visitorChapter 161Mrs. Vega heard the distant hum of an engine pulling into her driveway, the low rumble echoing through the marble halls of her mansion. Her heart skipped—it had to be Alexander and Selena. She rushed out of her room, nearly tripping over the long hem of her robe, excitement fluttering in her chest. This was the first time her daughter would bring her fiancé home formally… and the first time she would get a chance to clear the past and apologize to Alexander properly.But the moment she reached the bottom of the stairs, her face fell flat.It wasn’t Alexander’s sleek black car at all.It was a bright cherry-red SUV.Standing beside it, stepping out with unnecessary flair, was Mrs. Donatoes.Mrs. Donatoes waved her hand like a queen greeting her subjects. “Oh, Mrs Vega, darling! You look shocked to see me!”Shocked was an understatement. Mrs. Vega blinked twice, her entire evening rearranging itself painfully.“Mrs. Donatoes,” she said tightly, “what are you doing in my hous

Chapter: Influence Chapter 160The police station was quiet except for the muffled sounds of typing, murmured conversations, and the distant hum of air conditioning. Tommy sat across from the officers, hands slightly trembling as he recounted his version of the incident, his pride bruised and his ego in tatters. He glanced repeatedly toward the door, half expecting Alexander to burst in, but the calm authority of the station felt suffocating.Meanwhile, outside the police station, Selena leaned against the marble wall, unseen. Her eyes sparkled with a mixture of amusement and admiration. She had followed Alexander after the gala, curious about how he would handle the situation. And now, watching him manage it with such calm, quiet authority, she felt a thrill of pride.Alexander had already left the gala behind—no fanfare, no dramatic gestures. Just precision and purpose. He had given the officers all the details, stayed composed while Tommy stuttered and fumbled for words, and ensured that justice was

Chapter: Disbelief Chapter 159The night air outside the gala hall was cool, carrying the soft hum of traffic and the distant murmur of music leaking from the ballroom. Alexander stepped through the tall glass doors and scanned the terrace. It didn’t take long to spot Tommy.Tommy stood near the railing, shoulders tense, one hand buried in his hair while the other clenched the metal edge. His chest rose and fell sharply—still seething, caught between pride and humiliation.Alexander walked toward him—not rushing, not hesitating. Just steady.Tommy sensed him approaching and let out a low, frustrated growl.“What?” Tommy snapped without turning around. “Come to rub it in?”Alexander stopped a few steps behind him, giving him enough space in case things escalated. “No,” he replied calmly. “I came to talk. Because I thought—after all these years—you would have grown. Learned something. But you’re still the same.”That got Tommy’s attention. He spun around, his eyes dark with resentment.“Still the same?” T

Chapter: A puppet Chapter 158The ballroom glittered under the soft golden chandeliers, a gentle hum of classical music drifting through the air while wealthy elites mingled with champagne glasses in hand. Laughter echoed, diamonds sparkled, and the scent of expensive perfume hung heavy like a second layer of luxury.Alexander stood near the buffet table, speaking with Paxton. To anyone watching, they looked strangely at ease—two men who were once enemies now sharing light conversation and occasional bursts of laughter.It was a sight almost no one would have believed a year ago.Tommy certainly didn’t.From across the hall, Tommy sat on one of the cushioned gala chairs, his eyes narrowing as he watched the pair interact. Paxton? Laughing? With Alexander? The Paxton he knew—the one who terrorized half their school—never smiled genuinely at anyone except himself. And Alexander, the quiet puppet who always trailed behind Selena, now looked… confident.What happened to the world while he wasn’t paying att
