Ruthless in his vengeance and haunted by his past, Luca claims Caterina as his hostage... intending to use her to dismantle Alessandro's empire. Caterina is determined to win her freedom back, but all that blurs the line between captor and protector even further.
Chapter 1
Caterina.
I hated... no... that wasn't a suitable word. I loathed parties.
Especially when it was my engagement party.
The chandeliers above gleamed with the brilliance of a thousand crystals, casting an ethereal glow over the grand ballroom. Laughter and chatter echoed around me, voices mingling with the soft strains of a string quartet in the corner.
The air was thick with the scents of fresh roses and expensive perfume.
The place was perfect, every detail meticulously arranged for an evening of celebration.
I should have felt honoured, proud even, to have a gathering this perfect in my name. Instead, my stomach kept turning with every passing second.
"Smile, sweetheart."
The voice came from beside me, smooth yet commanding, as if daring me to disobey.
Allesandro's hand rested on the small of my back, possessive and firm. His touch turned, not with passion, but with a reminder of ownership.
I plastered on a polite smile, the one Id practised in the mirror. A hollow expression that I hoped masked the growing revulsion twisting in my gut.
"Of course."
Alessandro was everything one might expect in a wealthy heir... tall, broad-shouldered, with dark hair combed back in a style meant to project power. His smile gleamed, too perfect, too sharp, and his pale blue eyes scanned the room as though surveying his kingdom.
His kingdom.
I was to be part of it.
"Lovely evening, isn't it?"He murmured, leaning down just enough for his lips to graze the edge of my ear.
My skin crawled.
"Yes, darling,"I lied through gritted teeth.
This wasn't about me.
It had never been about me.
This party, this engagement... this charade... was about my family. Saving them from ruin after years of poor business decisions and mounting debts.
Marrying Alessandro was the deal my father had struck.
His money for my future.
My fate had been signed away without my consent, but what choice did I have?
Alessandro shifted closer, his hand tightening against my spine. I held my breath as his lips curled into a smug smile.
"You've made the right choice, Caterina. Soon, youll see that."
My mouth twitched, but I couldnt muster a response.
Instead, I turned to the sea of guests. Familiar faces smiled back at me, congratulating us on our match, on our supposed perfect pairing.
Every handshake, every kind word felt like a betrayal.
I gave them all the same practiced smile, swallowing the truth.
The music continued, the violin's melody soaring above the hum of conversation. I sipped champagne, savouring the bitterness rather than the bubbles, and tried to ignore Alessandro's hand, which had yet to leave my back.
It happened so suddenly.
The air shifted, subtle but undeniable, as though the room collectively held its breath. A ripple of whispers spread through the crowd, heads turning toward the entrance.
What was happening?
He walked in as though he owned the place, and for all I knew, he might have.
The man was tall, his figure draped in a charcoal suit that fit him too well to be off the rack. Dark hair swept back on a way that was both careless and deliberate, framing a face that demanded attention.
He was the most handsome man I had ever had the pleasure of meeting. Striking, in a dangerous sort of way. Where Allesandro's sharpness was calculated, this man's was natural... a predator at ease in unfamiliar territory.
The room fell silent as he crossed it, his strides unhurried, yet every step felt like a claim on the space.
My heart thundered.
He stopped in front of us, his eyes settling first on Alessandro. His lips curled into something resembling a smile, though it lacked any warmth.
"Alessandro,"he said, the name rolling from his tongue with a hint of distaste. "Congratulations on your engagement."
Alessandro stiffened. It was slight... barely noticeable... but I felt it. Mostly because he refused to remove his hand from my back. The tremor betrayed the perfect facade he wore so well.
My, my.
What was this?
"Luca,"Alessandro replied, his tone a bit tight.
So his name was... Luca. Not what I would have expected. I glanced between them, trying to decipher the sudden tension. Alessandro, so accustomed to commanding attention, looked... smaller in this man's presence.
"Didn't think you'd make it,"Alessandro added, forcing a laugh that sounded painfully hollow.
"Oh, I wouldn't miss it,"Luca replied, his eyes flicking briefly to me. There was no smile this time, only a quiet, unreadable intensity that sent a shiver down my spine.
What was wrong with me?
"You're here to celebrate?"Alessandro asked, his voice laced with what I could only describe as caution.
Not exactly.
The words were a knife, slicing through the polite atmosphere like silk.
Alessandros hand dropped from my back as he straightened, squaring his shoulders. Then why are you here?
Luca tilted his head, a hint of amusement dancing across his features. Im here,he said slowly, for the payment of your debt.
The room might as well have disappeared.
I stared at Alessandro, watching the way his expression faltered for the briefest moment before hardening again.
I told you,He said through gritted teeth, his voice low enough to escape the guestsnotice, I dont have it yet.
Unfortunate,Luca replied. His tone remained calm, but there was a weight to it, a subtle pressure that demanded submission.
Alessandros jaw clenched. I just need more time. Lucas eyes shifted to me then... those warm green eyes... and I felt my breath catch.
It wasn't the way Alessandro looked at me... like a prize he'd already won. This was different, sharper, as if he were appraising something valuable.
I might be willing to grant you that,Luca said, his eyes never leaving mine. But only if you offer me... a suitable alternative.
The silence stretched.
What do you mean?"
Luca smiled, though it didn't reach his eyes. "Her. I want her."
The word dropped like a stone, heavy and unyielding.
It took a moment for the meaning to register, for the weight of it to settle in my chest.
He wanted me as payment for Alessandros debt.

When I Disappeared, He Regretted It
The moment the screen lit up, my entire world came crashing down.
The woman on the bed was Calista - that girl who grew up with us since we were kids. And that hand caressing her skin was wearing the wedding ring I had personally put on Matteo's finger.
"I've missed you so much..."
"You drive me crazy, baby..."
Those sweet words I knew so well completely destroyed me.
Everyone said we were the perfect couple, but who knew this marriage was built on nothing but lies?
Since he's so good at acting, I guess it's time I gave him a show of my own. I'm going to make sure everyone sees what this "perfect husband" really is...
He Thought I'd Never Leave
When he said he was being bullied, I believed him. When he kissed me on that rooftop, I thought he felt the same. When he asked me to transfer schools with him, I said yes without hesitation.
Then I heard him bragging to his friends: "She'd save her first time for me. Hell, she'd still be thinking of me on her wedding night."
The bullying was staged. The kiss meant nothing. He just wanted me gone—so his new girl could feel more comfortable.
He thought I'd beg. He thought I'd cry. He thought I'd never actually leave.
I left the country.
And ran straight into his stepbrother.
I Died While They Threw Her a Party
Their real daughter came home. She'd only been back two years. That's all it took to erase twenty-four.
When kidnappers grabbed us, I used my body as a shield. They beat me until something inside me ruptured. I was dying from internal bleeding, but no one could tell.
My parents wouldn't even look at me. "This is your fault! None of this would've happened if it weren't for you!"
"Get downstairs and apologize to your sister. If you can't, pack your things and get out."
They threw her a party at a downtown hotel while I died alone in my room.
I thought they'd be relieved. Maybe even glad. I thought they'd just move on like I never existed.
But when they finally learned the truth, they fell apart.
Bury Me in His Regret
The kidnapper pressed the gun to my temple and asked, "Choose your wife or your sister-in-law?"
Zachary didn't hesitate. "Let Valerie go," he said.
He actually chose to save his sister-in-law! In that moment, even the baby in my belly seemed to stop kicking.
Later, they locked me in the basement. Drugs to delay labor were pumped into my veins over and over. Zachary wanted to save the "firstborn son" status for his sister-in-law's child.
When warm blood finally soaked through my skirt, I dialed the number I knew by heart with shaking hands.
"Zachary," I whispered into the phone, "our child... can't wait any longer."
The Kidney That Killed Me
A few months ago, my sister was hospitalized with kidney failure. The doctor said she needed a transplant. My family's first thought was me—the backup daughter they'd kept around all these years.
When my husband Allen took my hand with tears in his eyes and said, "Only you can save her," I agreed without hesitation.
When the doctor explained the surgical risks and potential complications, I smiled and nodded my understanding.
My parents said I'd finally learned what sisterly love meant.
Even Allen, who'd always been cold to me, held my hand gently and said, "The surgery's safe. You're so healthy, nothing will go wrong. When you recover, I'll take you to Hawaii."
But they don't know that no matter how the surgery goes, I won't be around to celebrate.
Because I just got my own test results—I have terminal brain cancer. I'm going to die anyway.
After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
