Chapter 61 —The Lady of the UnderworldNarrator:Dominic drove her to her grandmother's house, driving in silence until he finally broke the silence when they were close."Mrs. Adler, we're here."Aylin blinked. Her stomach churned uncomfortably."Don't call me that."Dominic raised an eyebrow, stopping in front of the house."Excuse me?"Aylin sighed, turning her head toward him."You know the truth. There's no need for formalities with me. Call me what you always have." Dominic watched her for a moment, assessing her with a piercing gaze. "Nothing has changed," Aylin added firmly. "Not for you, not for me."He let out a low laugh, full of irony."Of course not," he muttered, but there was something amused in his tone. "Whatever you say, Aylin."She nodded and got out of the car, not noticing the half-smile with which Dominic watched her walk away. Nothing had changed. And yet, at the same time, everything had changed.Aylin entered the house and found her grandmother in the kitchen,

Chapter 63 —I love them bothNarrator:Aylin was in the bedroom, unpacking her bag with automatic movements. The hot water from the shower had relaxed her muscles, but her mind was still caught up in the intensity of everything that had happened since she set foot in the mansion.She had dressed in the first thing she found in her suitcase: comfortable jeans and a simple T-shirt. No dresses or outfits that suggested she was now Mrs. Adler. No, Aylin was Aylin, period.She sighed as she took out a couple more items of clothing and folded them on the bed, when she heard three soft knocks on the door. She turned with a slight frown.For a moment, she thought it might be Roman, but dismissed the idea. He didn't knock.She put the clothes aside and walked to the door, opening it without thinking too much about it.And there she was. Sasha. The girl looked at her with her big, dark eyes, the same ones she had seen so many times before, shining with rebellion, mischief, sweetness, and so many

Chapter 65 — You're driving me crazy!Narrator:When dinner was over, Sasha hugged them both with a smile of utter satisfaction before heading to her room.Aylin and Roman walked silently to their bedroom, each lost in their own thoughts, though she could feel the damn energy of his gaze burning into her back.When the bedroom door closed behind them, Aylin spun around with a frown, her jaw clenched and her arms crossed firmly."I can't believe the story you told."Roman leaned against the door, relaxed, with that mocking smile that always drove her crazy."Me? You were the one who started with the fairy tale."Aylin snorted."I was just fixing the situation."Roman let out a deep, dark laugh."Fixing? You said I brought you flowers and got down on one knee in a park."Aylin crossed her arms even tighter."It sounded convincing."Roman moved slowly forward, his presence filling every corner of the space between them."Oh, and let's not forget the part where you claimed I said..." He lo

Chapter 67 —Kissing her and strangling her...Narrator:Roman remained silent for a moment, breathing deeply, his body still pressed against Aylin's, still feeling her tremble in his arms, still completely lost in the intensity of the moment. But then, something changed. He looked at her. Not with the arrogance with which he used to devour her, not with the dark amusement that used to color his expression after each battle between them. This time he looked at her with something deeper.Without saying a word, he slid his hands down to the restraints on her wrists and, with a slowness unusual for him, undid the knot of the tie.Aylin barely had time to process it when she felt the warmth of his fingers surrounding her wrists, rubbing them gently, caressing the skin reddened by the pressure.Roman traced small circles with his thumbs, as if he wanted to erase every mark he himself had left. And then, in a completely unexpected gesture, he brought one of her wrists to his mouth and kissed

Chapter 69 —MaNarrator:Aylin woke up before Roman. She carefully slipped out of bed, feeling the residual warmth of his body against her skin. She didn't stop to look at him or think too much about what had happened the night before. She just grabbed some comfortable clothes and quietly went downstairs to the kitchen.She didn't expect the scene that awaited her.Sasha was standing at the table, wearing a huge apron that clearly wasn't hers and an expression of pure concentration as she finished arranging the dishes. Aylin paused in the doorway, blinking."What is this?"Sasha looked up immediately, a bright smile lighting up her face."Breakfast!"Aylin raised an eyebrow, still not moving."Did you make this?"The girl puffed out her chest proudly and nodded."Yes. Well, Amalia helped me with a few things..." She pointed to the counter, where the housekeeper watched them with an amused smile. "But I did everything else."Aylin scanned the table. There was toast, scrambled eggs, slic
