Chapter 165 – Luciano POV
I hate to admit it, but Raffaele is not the threat.
It's Daphne.
She's the one pulling strings in the dark, tightening every noose with that quiet, merciless smile. The more I watch, the clearer it becomes. Raffaele has grown sharper, yes. More calculated, more assertive. But it's not because of something innate—it's because of her.
Daphne Castellano. The youngest sibling, I thought she was just a spoiled little brat, with big dreams but I stand corrected.
The little sister in name only. The mistake everyone ignored. The woman I thought would be content hiding behind philanthropic ventures and scandalous rumors. But she's more than that. She's the wind in Raffaele's sails. The blade beneath his silk glove. Without her, he's half of what he appears to be.
And I hate that. I hate her.
