CHAPTER 16
AUTHOR POV
Training center-the next day.
Lorenzo squinted his eyes under his dark sunglasses, his eyes is focused as he aimed at the target. He fired. The bullet hit dead center and without a word, he reloaded and fired again, another perfect hit.
He passed the gun to Noah without a glance. Noah stepped forward, squared his stance, and aimed. He pulled the trigger but the shot missed. His lips stretched into a sheepish smile as he turned to face his father, who stood motionless, eyes fixed on him.
"Is that how you plan to protect your wife?" Lorenzo asked, stepping forward, his voice cold and unimpressed by Noah.
He picked up the gun again, handed it back to Noah, and moved behind him. Lorenzo's strong arm wrapped around Noah's shoulder, guiding his aim.
"Focus," he said, steadying Noah's hands.
This time, when the bullet flew, it hit the target right in the center. More applause followed.
"That's how to do it," Lorenzo said, removing his sunglasses with a cool nod.
Just then, Niko strode into the training ground.
"Don, we finally found the main number used by the person who drugged Sienna the other day," he said, handing Lorenzo a small slip of paper. "We've tried tracking it, but it's untraceable. The only chance is if you call and they actually pick up."
Noah froze and his head snapped toward them. "She was drugged?" His voice cracked as he stormed over Lorenzo. "Sienna was drugged?!"
Lorenzo didn't even bother to answer, he was already dialing the number. It rang...once...twice...then silence. No one picked up.
A dark smile twisted his lips as he turned and walked away silently. The others quickly followed. But Noah grabbed Niko's arm before he could walk off.
"Niko, what the fuck happened? Who drugged her?" he demanded, eyes wide with panic.
"We caught the guy, but he was just following orders," Niko said, lowering his voice. "We still don't know who gave him the orders."
Noah's jaw clenched. "Where's the guy now?"
"Don told us to release him."
"What? Why-"
"Niko!" Lina's voice called from behind.
Without waiting, Niko turned and left, trailing after the others. Noah stood there for a second, his fists clenched, then stormed after them.

Lorenzo stepped into the main mansion, his steps heavy with intent. Noah burst in behind him, with his face red with frustration.
"Dad, Sienna was drugged and no one told me? What the hell?" he snapped.
Lorenzo stopped, turned, and faced him slowly. "And what would you do if you knew?" he asked coolly.
Noah's voice rose. "She's about to be my wife! I should know everything happening to her. Our wedding was supposed to be today and you postponed it without even telling me why. This isn't just business anymore, it's personal!"
He paused, breathing hard. "And now I find out she got drugged and I didn't even know? What kind of fiancé does that make me?"
Lorenzo dropped the towel around his neck onto a nearby chair. He walked up to Noah and bent slightly to his level, staring into his eyes. Noah instinctively took a step back.
"Why are you acting like this?" Lorenzo asked, his voice low and steady. "Did you forget this is a contract marriage?" His gaze darkened. "Or... do you like her?"
Noah hesitated moving back slowly.
"I... she... I just think I should know what's going on with her," he stammered, looking away.
Lorenzo smiled slowly, then placed both hands on Noah's shoulders, massaging them lightly.
"You don't need to worry about her. I'll handle it."
Noah frowned. "But why would you?"
"Earlier in the training room, you asked if that's how I planned to protect her. Why are you so obsessed with her safety?"
Before Lorenzo could answer, Niko entered the mansion.
"Sir, the casino crew just arrived safely!" he said with a grin.
Lorenzo stepped away from Noah and turned to Niko. "When did they get here?"
"Just now."
Lorenzo gave a small nod and walked off without another word. Noah glanced at Niko, then followed him out of the mansion.

SIENNA POV
"Sienna!" My mum's voice rang out from downstairs.
"I'm in the bathroom!" I called back, squeezing the towel tighter around my chest.
I heard her footsteps getting closer, then the knob twisted open.
"I'm heading out for groceries," she said quickly. "Once you're done, go and lock the door." She shut it before I could even reply.
I stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body and another over my damp hair. I hadn't seen Lorenzo since yesterday, and I had no excuse to go to the Don's mansion.
God, why am I thinking about him again?
I sighed and shook my head, walking down the stairs to lock the door. He's all I think about I couldn't help but think about him, my mind keeps playing him over and over again, the way he touched me, the way he made me feel. Like I was his. Like I belonged to him.
I reached the front door and turned the lock. But just as I did, someone knocked.
I opened it, thinking my mum had forgotten something.
"Did you for-" The words died in my throat.
Lorenzo stood at the door without saying a word. His eyes locked on mine.
"Loren, what are you-"
He didn't let me finish.
His yanked me closer to him and his lips crashed into mine, hard and hungry. The force made the towel on my head fall to the floor. I gasped, but my hands went to his chest, holding onto him like he was the only solid thing in the world.
I gave in to the kiss instantly, moaning as he sucked on my lips. His breath hit my face, warm and fast, then he removed his face from mine.
"Why haven't you come for your reward? Are you avoiding me?" His voice was low and raspy, curling over my skin like smoke.
"I-I wasn't," I breathed, my heart thundering.
"Then why?"
I tiptoed up, closing the space between us, and pressed a soft kiss on his lips to shut him up.
"Daddy's angry?" I asked, my cheeks blazing.
He stepped inside, shutting the door behind him with a click.
"Daddy needs to give you a punishment for not being a good girl," he said. And then, without warning, he lifted me into his arms like I weighed nothing and heading straight towards my room.
"Wait, how do you know where my room is?" I asked, but he didn't reply. He just grinned like he owned everything in this house.
He walked straight into my room, placed me gently on the bed, and stepped back.
"Take off your towel," he commanded.
I obeyed instantly, letting it fall from my body. I was bare, completely exposed under his gaze. My skin tingled under the weight of his eyes. My pussy was already soaked, dripping from the heat of the kiss alone.
This man is turning me into something else, any slight kiss from him , I got soaked.
Whenever he's near, I lose all sense. My brain stops working. I just want to please him and obey him.
I stayed seated on the bed, trembling slightly, waiting for what he'd say next.
"Touch yourself, Sienna," he said, his voice laced with dark hunger. "And you're not allowed to cum until I say so. That's your punishment."
My eyes widened. My heart thudded wildly in my chest.
He wants me to touch myself. While he watches. And I can't cum until he allows it?
"Fast," he added.
I swallowed hard, fingers trembling as I reached down to my clit and brushed it lightly. My body jolted. I rubbed again, slower this time, then faster, falling into a rhythm that made my legs shake.
My other hand moved to my breasts. I pinched my nipples, breathing heavily as the pleasure built inside me.
"Don't cum," he said from where he stood. I looked up, locking eyes with him.
"Daddy... please," I whimpered, the orgasm crawling up my spine. "Let me... let me-"
"I said no."
"Please... I'm cumming!" I cried out, with my fingers running through it.
"You don't cum until I tell you to," he growled, walking closer.
"Sienna, rub it harder. Let your hips rise."
His voice alone pushed me closer. The way he said my name, the command in his tone, the heat in his eyes, it all drove me mad.
I clutched the bedsheets with one hand and kept rubbing with the other, moaning, shaking, on the edge.
"Let it out," he said at last.
And I broke.
The orgasm tore through me, fast and brutal. I screamed out, with my breath shuddering as I came, soaking the sheets beneath me.
"That's your punishment," he said, walking over and brushing his lips against my forehead. "Next time, listen when I call you."
I nodde
d, still panting. I want this type of punishment from him, or even more harder than this.
Just then, a voice called from outside the door.
"SIENNA!"
My blood turned to ice.
