Gianna stood in the kitchen doorway, staring at Vincent with an intensity that bordered on desperation. Her mind was a whirlwind of conflicting information and unanswered questions. She needed clarity. Needed truth. Needed something to make sense of the chaos from last night.But she didn't even know where to start.Vincent turned from the stove, meeting her gaze with calm patience. "Are you just going to stand there staring? Or are we actually going to have this conversation?"His tone was gentle, almost teasing, as if they were discussing something mundane rather than the fundamental mysteries of who he actually was."Who are you?" Gianna finally asked, the words bursting out with accumulated frustration. "Really. Who are you?"Vincent's expression remained placid. "I'm Vincent Casti. The man who agreed to your contract marriage. The same person I was yesterday and the day before that.""That's not what I mean!" Gianna's voice rose despite her efforts to stay calm. "Vincent Casti—is
CHAPTER 85 PART 1
Kevin stood in the kitchen doorway, his chest heaving with emotion, his bruised face making him look both pathetic and dangerous. He didn't offer greeting or apology for forcing his way into the Moretti villa. His focus was entirely on Vincent with laser intensity."Free my father," Kevin demanded, his voice shaking with barely controlled fury. "Right now. I know you took him. I know you have him somewhere. Let him go!"Gianna felt like the floor had dropped out from under her feet. Her ears felt like they were ringing with the absurdity of what she was hearing.First, she'd been accusing Vincent of knowing Stephani—which now seemed ridiculous in the morning light. And now Kevin was accusing Vincent of... what? Kidnapping Antonio Romano? Taking a powerful patriarch from his own home?The scenarios were so outlandish they felt like fever dreams. Was she still dreaming? Had she hit her head even harder than she thought?"Would someone please tell me what the fuck is happening in my hous
CHAPTER 85 PART 2
The color drained from Kevin's face. His hands, which had been gripping Vincent's apron with aggressive strength, began trembling violently.Vincent continued in that same deadly quiet whisper. "Your father is alive because I'm allowing him to be. Your family still has a home and business because I haven't decided otherwise. Those are privileges, Kevin. Not guarantees. And every stupid decision you make—like barging into my house and making demands—brings you closer to losing those privileges permanently."Kevin's breathing had gone ragged. The fear in his eyes was naked and absolute."Now," Vincent said, his whisper taking on an almost gentle quality that somehow made it more threatening, "you're going to let go of my apron. You're going to walk out of this house. And you're going to tell anyone who asks that you have no idea where your father is. Because if you don't—if you bring police or lawyers or any more dramatic confrontations—your father won't be the only member of the Romano
Chapter 86 PART 1
Kevin froze mid-lunge, his hands still gripping Vincent's apron. Something about that frosty calm voice—the quiet certainty with which Vincent had delivered his whispered threat—sent ice-cold chills down Kevin's spine.This wasn't the nobody husband he'd dismissed. This was something else entirely. Something dangerous that Kevin's instincts screamed at him to avoid.His aggressive certainty evaporated into panicked uncertainty. Should he keep attacking? Back down? The calculated menace in Vincent's whisper made the decision for him.Gianna watched this bizarre standoff with mounting frustration. "Would someone please tell me what the fuck is going on?" she demanded, her voice rising. "Kevin, why are you in my house making accusations? Vincent, how do you know Stephani again?"Vincent ignored her question completely. His gaze remained fixed on Kevin with that same calm, deadly focus—like a predator watching prey consider its options.Kevin released Vincent's apron and backed away with
CHAPTER 86 PART 2
Vincent's voice went cold with absolute authority. "Tell Stephani that if she sees Gianna today—if she agrees to any meeting, conversation, or contact—I will personally ensure she regrets that decision. Tell her that my wife is off-limits. Permanently. No interrogations, no manipulation, no attempts to undermine our marriage. Gianna is under my protection, and Stephani will respect that boundary or face consequences she won't enjoy.""Understood, Commander. Anything else?""Yes," Vincent added. "Make it clear this isn't negotiable. Stephani doesn't get to use Gianna as a pawn in whatever obsessive game she thinks we're playing. That ends now.""I'll deliver the message personally within the hour," the captain confirmed."Thank you," Vincent replied, ending the call.He stood alone in the kitchen, looking at the breakfast he'd prepared that would go uneaten. Gianna was determined to get answers from Stephani—answers Vincent wasn't ready to provide himself.But he could control whether
Chapter 87
Kevin drove to the Benedetti estate with hands that wouldn't stop shaking. His face still throbbed from where he'd been struck the previous night, and Vincent's whispered threat echoed in his mind like a curse he couldn't escape.I made your father disappear so easily.The words haunted him. Not just the content, but the cold certainty with which Vincent had delivered them. That wasn't bravado. That was fact stated with absolute confidence.Kevin needed help. Needed someone who understood power dynamics and could advise him on how to navigate this nightmare. And despite their recent conflicts, Giovanni Benedetti remained the most strategically minded person Kevin knew.Giovanni received him in his study, pouring scotch for both of them despite the early hour. "Kevin. You look terrible. What happened?"Kevin accepted the drink gratefully, taking a long swallow before speaking. "I went to confront Vincent. About my father's disappearance.""And?" Giovanni prompted, his expression carefu
CHAPTER 88 PART 1
Giovanni sat alone in his study long after Kevin's angry departure, his mind working through increasingly complex scenarios. The question that dominated his thoughts was simple but troubling: how could someone like Stephani Palazzo be connected to the enigma that was Vincent?He didn't know enough about either of them to draw definitive conclusions. Stephani was a global billionaire who operated in rarefied circles far above Giovanni's considerable wealth and influence. Vincent was... whatever Vincent actually was beneath his modest facade.But Giovanni felt certain Gianna's question wasn't a fluke. She'd met Stephani personally. Had spent time in the woman's presence. For Gianna to ask whether Vincent knew Stephani—for that accusation to emerge despite Vincent's denials—meant something serious had transpired.Some interaction. Some recognition. Some evidence of connection that couldn't be easily dismissed.Giovanni made a decision that he knew was dangerous but necessary. He needed t
CHAPTER 88 PART 2
She turned and walked toward a private conference room off the main lobby, clearly expecting Giovanni to follow. He did, relief flooding through him despite knowing this conversation could go very wrong very quickly.The conference room was decorated with the same opulent attention to detail as the rest of the hotel. Stephani settled into a chair at the head of the table, her security positioning themselves discreetly but visibly."Talk," Stephani commanded, her full attention now on Giovanni. "What do you want to know about Vincent?"Giovanni chose his words carefully. "Gianna Moretti—his wife—came to me with questions. She seemed convinced you and Vincent know each other personally. Have history together. I need to understand if that's true and what it means."Stephani's expression flickered with emotions Giovanni couldn't quite identify. "Why does this matter to you?""Because Vincent has demonstrated capabilities that don't match who he claims to be," Giovanni replied honestly. "A
Chapter 89
Vincent stood in the secure facility's observation room, looking through one-way glass at Antonio Romano. The man sat in his holding cell looking exhausted, defeated, and genuinely terrified about what came next.In any other situation—any other target—Vincent would have handled this simply and permanently. Antonio would have either been dead or disappeared into one of the deep dungeons Vincent's organization maintained in third-world countries where questions were never asked and people were easily forgotten.But this wasn't any other situation.These were Gianna's people. Her city. Her social circles. If Antonio simply vanished permanently, questions would be asked. Investigations launched. And while Vincent could handle that scrutiny, Gianna would be caught in the fallout.More problematically, Antonio now knew things. Had seen Vincent's capabilities firsthand. Knew about the elite operators, the resources, the reach that Vincent commanded. Letting him return to normal life meant r
CHAPTER 90 PART 1
Kevin stood frozen on the doorstep, his mind refusing to process what he was seeing and hearing. His father—Antonio Romano, patriarch of one of the city's most powerful families—was standing beside Vincent in Gianna's villa, calmly explaining to police that there had been no kidnapping."Officers, I apologize for this confusion," Antonio said with practiced authority, his voice carrying the easy confidence of someone accustomed to being believed. "This has all been a significant misunderstanding.""A misunderstanding?" Captain DeLuca repeated, looking between Antonio and Kevin with growing confusion."My son had quite a bit to drink the night in question," Antonio explained smoothly, the lie coming easily. "I believe his memories of events have become... distorted. I voluntarily accompanied Mr. Moretti to discuss some private business matters. There was no coercion, no kidnapping, nothing criminal whatsoever."Kevin felt like he'd been punched in the stomach. "Father, what are you say
