This is Act II of The Giuoco Piano which is a sequel to The Exchange Variation. I am opting to split this into different books on Wattpad, because it's long and I can.
In Act I, we saw Stefano Dimera send Marlena on a dark and twisted treasure hunt to remind her of who she was when she she adopted the alternate identity of Grace, a woman who seduced, stole and murdered for Stefano. Stefano had Carrie and Will and was holding them prisoner to force Marlena to play his macabre chess game.
The first act ended with Marlena agreeing to stay with Stefano in order to secure the safe release and ongoing safety of her husband and her family. Roman, who had stood by her during the intervening months as she wrought a trail of destruction around Europe at Stefano's behest, was understandably distraught.
Act II opens several months after Roman and the others left Marlena behind on the small island in the middle of Indonesia....
