Chapter 106

• Aria stood in the kitchen of her modest apartment, the comforting scent of simmering herbs and spices wafting through the air.
• The sun had barely begun to rise, casting a soft golden light through the window, when the door swung open and Dante walked in with his guards. He called out her name loudly, "Aria!" His voice echoed through the halls, cutting through the silence.
• Her heart dropped as she recognized the commanding tone of Dante Mancini. Panic surged through her veins, and she rushed out of the kitchen, her mind racing. She had thought she was free from his grasp, but the reality of her situation hit her like a cold wave.
