Scarlet Vendetta

NEVE

For the first time in my life, nobody owns me.

I have a husband who walked through fire to keep me breathing, a father who finally wants to make things right, and a future I can hold in both hands.

I married a killer. I'd marry him again tomorrow.

Now my family is going home to the mountain we came from. A place where old men keep old debts, every toast hides a blade, and the past is waiting at the top of the steps.

He holds me like I'm the only thing keeping him alive.

And every night, when he thinks I'm asleep, he looks at something he won't let me see.

ACHILLE

She thinks she's free.

She doesn't know what her freedom cost, or whose name I carry against my heart while she sleeps in my arms.

Every night I hold her, I'm counting.

There's a mountain in Calabria where my mother is buried and my enemies are waiting. There's a woman beside me who wants to give me a family. And there's a debt that comes due in thirty nights, whether I pay it or not.

I'll give her anything she asks for.

Except the truth.
